                  (iv)     shall not be made (and shall not be required to be
         made) if the making of same would cause the Aggregate Multicurrency
         Facility RL Exposure (after giving effect to the use of the proceeds
         thereof on the date of the incurrence thereof to repay any amounts
         theretofore outstanding pursuant to this Agreement) to exceed the Total

collectively, the "U.S. Borrower Dollar Facility Swingline Loans") and (II) a
revolving loan or revolving loans to the Bermuda Borrower (each, a "Bermuda
Borrower Dollar Facility Swingline Loan" and, collectively, the "Bermuda
Borrower Dollar Facility Swingline Loans" and with the revolving loans made to
the U.S. Borrower or the Bermuda Borrower pursuant to this Section 1.01(f) being
each called a "Dollar Facility Swingline Loan" and, collectively, the "Dollar
Facility Swingline Loans" and, together with Multicurrency Facility Swingline
Loans, the "Swingline Loans"), which Dollar Facility Swingline Loans:

                  (i)      shall be made and maintained in Dollars;

                  (ii)     shall be made and maintained as Base Rate Loans;

                  (iii)    may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the
         provisions hereof;

                  (iv)     shall not be made (and shall not be required to be
         made) if the making of same would cause the Aggregate Dollar Facility
         RL Exposure (after giving effect to the use of the proceeds thereof on
         the date of the incurrence thereof to repay any amounts theretofore
         outstanding pursuant to this Agreement) to exceed the Total Dollar
         Facility Revolving Loan Commitment as then in effect;

                  (v)      shall not exceed in aggregate principal amount at any
         time outstanding, when added to the aggregate principal amount of
         Multicurrency Facility Swingline Loans then outstanding (taking the
         Dollar Equivalents of all amounts in Euros), the Maximum Swingline
         Amount; and

                  (vi)     in the case of any Borrowing of Bermuda Borrower
         Dollar Facility Swingline Loans, shall not be made (and shall not be
         required to be made) if the making of same would cause the Aggregate
         Bermuda Borrower Dollar Facility RL Exposure (after giving effect to
         the use of the proceeds thereof on the date of the incurrence thereof
         to repay any amounts theretofore outstanding pursuant to this
         Agreement) to exceed $50,000,000.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 1.01(f), (x)
the Swingline Lender shall not be obligated to make any Dollar Facility
Swingline Loans at a time when a Lender Default exists with respect to any
Dollar Facility RL Lender unless the Swingline Lender has entered into
arrangements satisfactory to it to eliminate the Swingline Lender's risk with
respect to the Defaulting Lender's or Defaulting Lenders' refunding obligations
(through the requirement that Mandatory Dollar Facility RL Borrowings be made
from time to time) in respect of such Dollar Facility Swingline Loans, including
by cash collateralizing such

                                      -6-

<PAGE>

Defaulting Lender's or Defaulting Lenders' Dollar Facility RL Percentages of the
outstanding Dollar Facility Swingline Loans and (y) the Swingline Lender shall
not make any Dollar Facility Swingline Loan after it has received written notice
from any Credit Agreement Party, the Required Lenders stating that a Default or
an Event of Default exists and is continuing until such time as the Swingline
Lender shall have received written notice (A) of rescission of all such notices
from the party or parties originally delivering such notice or notices or (B) of
the waiver of such Default or Event of Default by the Required Lenders. The
Bermuda Borrower shall have no liability with respect to any U.S. Borrower
Dollar Facility Swingline Loans which may be extended to, and shall constitute
obligations of, the U.S. Borrower.

                  (g)      Refunding of Multicurrency Facility Swingline Loans.
On any Business Day, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion, give
notice to the Multicurrency Facility RL Lenders that the outstanding
Multicurrency Facility Swingline Loans in a given Available Currency shall be
funded with a Borrowing of Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loans in such
Available Currency (provided that (x) such notice shall be deemed to have been
automatically given upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default
under Section 10.05 or upon the exercise of any of the remedies provided in the
last paragraph of Section 10 and (y) if a Sharing Event shall have occurred, all
such Multicurrency Facility Swingline Loans shall be denominated in Dollars in
accordance with the provisions of Section 1.14, and refunded through a Mandatory
Multicurrency Facility RL Borrowing denominated in Dollars as provided below),
in which case a Borrowing of Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loans denominated
in the respective Available Currency (subject to the provisions of clause (y) of
the immediately preceding parenthetical sentence) (each such Borrowing, a
"Mandatory Multicurrency Facility RL Borrowing") shall be made on the third
succeeding Business Day by all Multicurrency Facility RL Lenders pro rata based
on each such Multicurrency Facility RL Lender's Multicurrency Facility RL
Percentage and the proceeds thereof shall be applied directly to the Swingline
Lender to repay the Swingline Lender for such outstanding Multicurrency Facility
Swingline Loans. Each Multicurrency Facility RL Lender hereby irrevocably agrees
to make Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loans in the relevant Available
Currency upon three Business Days' notice pursuant to each Mandatory
Multicurrency Facility RL Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in
the preceding sentence and on the date specified in writing by the Swingline
Lender notwithstanding (i) that the amount of the Mandatory Multicurrency
Facility RL Borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount for Borrowings
otherwise required hereunder, (ii) whether any conditions specified in Sections
6A and 6B are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default
then exists, (iv) the date of such Mandatory Multicurrency Facility RL
Borrowing, (v) the amount of the Total Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loan
Commitment at such time and (vi) the amount of the Multicurrency Facility
Revolving Loan Commitment of such Multicurrency Facility RL Lender at such time.
In the event that any Mandatory Multicurrency Facility RL Borrowing cannot for
any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including, without
limitation, as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under any
bankruptcy, reorganization, dissolution, insolvency, receivership,
administration or liquidation or similar law with respect to either Borrower),
then each Multicurrency Facility RL Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith
purchase (as of the date the Mandatory Multicurrency Facility RL Borrowing would
otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from either
Borrower on or after such date and prior to such purchase) from the Swingline
Lender such participations in such outstanding Multicurrency Facility Swingline
Loans as shall be necessary to cause such Multicurrency Facility RL Lenders to
share in such Multicurrency Facility Swingline Loans

                                      -7-

<PAGE>

ratably based upon their respective Multicurrency Facility RL Percentages,
provided that (x) all interest payable on the Multicurrency Facility Swingline
Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender until the date as of
which the respective participation is required to be purchased and, to the
extent attributable to the purchased participation, shall be payable to the
participant from and after such date and (y) at the time any purchase of
participations pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing
Multicurrency Facility RL Lender shall be required to pay the Swingline Lender
interest on the principal amount of the participation purchased for each day
from and including the day upon which the Mandatory Multicurrency Facility RL
Borrowing would otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for
such participation, at the rate otherwise applicable to Multicurrency Facility
Revolving Loans made in the relevant Available Currency. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 1.01(g), upon the
occurrence of a Sharing Event, all outstanding Multicurrency Facility Swingline
Loans shall, as provided in Section 1.14, be automatically converted into U.S.
Dollar denominated Multicurrency Facility Swingline Loans and, to the extent the
respective Mandatory Multicurrency Facility RL Borrowing has not already
occurred in respect of such Multicurrency Facility Swingline Loans, a Mandatory
Multicurrency Facility RL Borrowing shall be effected with respect thereto in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.01(g).

                  (h)      Refunding of Dollar Facility Swingline Loans. On any
Business Day, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion, give notice to
the Dollar Facility RL Lenders that the outstanding U.S. Borrower Dollar
Facility Swingline Loans or Bermuda Borrower Dollar Facility Swingline Loans
shall be funded with a Borrowing of U.S. Borrower Dollar Facility Revolving
Loans or Bermuda Borrower Dollar Facility Revolving Loans, as the case may be,
in Dollars (provided that such notice shall be deemed to have been automatically
given upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section
10.05 or upon the exercise of any of the remedies provided in the last paragraph
of Section 10), in which case a Borrowing of U.S. Borrower Dollar Facility
Revolving Loans or Bermuda Borrower Dollar Facility Revolving Loans, as the case
may be (each such Borrowing, a "Mandatory Dollar Facility RL Borrowing") shall
be made on the third succeeding Business Day by all Dollar Facility RL Lenders
pro rata based on each such Dollar Facility RL Lender's Dollar Facility RL
Percentage and the proceeds thereof shall be applied directly to the Swingline
Lender to repay the Swingline Lender for such outstanding Dollar Facility
Swingline Loans. Each Dollar Facility RL Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to
make U.S. Borrower Dollar Facility Revolving Loans (in the case of a refunding
of U.S. Borrower Dollar Facility Swingline Loans) and Bermuda Borrower Dollar
Facility Revolving Loans (in the case of a refunding of Bermuda Borrower Dollar
Facility Swingline Loans) upon one Business Day's notice pursuant to each
Mandatory Dollar Facility RL Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified
in the preceding sentence and on the date specified in writing by the Swingline
Lender notwithstanding (i) that the amount of the Mandatory Dollar Facility RL
Borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount for Borrowings otherwise
required hereunder, (ii) whether any conditions specified in Sections 6A and 6B
are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists,
(iv) the date of such Mandatory Dollar Facility RL Borrowing, (v) the amount of
the Total Dollar Facility Revolving Loan Commitment at such time and (vi) the
amount of the Dollar Facility Revolving Loan Commitment of such Dollar Facility
RL Lender at such time. In the event that any Mandatory Dollar Facility RL
Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above
(including, without limitation, as a result of the commencement of a proceeding
under any

                                      -8-

<PAGE>

bankruptcy, reorganization, dissolution, insolvency, receivership,
administration or liquidation or similar law with respect to either Borrower),
then each Dollar Facility RL Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith
purchase (as of the date the Mandatory Dollar Facility RL Borrowing would
otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from either
Borrower on or after such date and prior to such purchase) from the Swingline
Lender such participations in such outstanding Dollar Facility Swingline Loans
as shall be necessary to cause such Dollar Facility RL Lenders to share in such
Dollar Facility Swingline Loans ratably based upon their respective Dollar
Facility RL Percentages, provided that (x) all interest payable on the Dollar
Facility Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender until
the date as of which the respective participation is required to be purchased
and, to the extent attributable to the purchased participation, shall be payable
to the participant from and after such date and (y) at the time any purchase of
participations pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing Dollar
Facility RL Lender shall be required to pay the Swingline Lender interest on the
principal amount of the participation purchased for each day from and including
the day upon which the Mandatory Dollar Facility RL Borrowing would otherwise
have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such participation, at
the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the rate
otherwise applicable to Dollar Facility Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate
Loans hereunder for each day thereafter.

                  1.01 Minimum Borrowing Amounts, etc. The aggregate principal
amount of each Borrowing of Loans shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing
Amount applicable to Borrowings of the respective Type and Tranche of Loans to
be made or maintained pursuant to the respective Borrowing, provided that
Mandatory Multicurrency Facility RL Borrowings and Mandatory Dollar Facility RL
Borrowings shall be made in the amounts required by Section 1.01(g) or (h), as
applicable. More than one Borrowing may be incurred on any day, but at no time
shall there be outstanding more than 30 Borrowings of Euro Rate Loans.

                  1.02 Notice of Borrowing. (a) Whenever a Borrower desires to
make a Borrowing of Loans hereunder (excluding Borrowings of Swingline Loans and
Mandatory Borrowings), an Authorized Officer of such Borrower shall give the
Administrative Agent at its Notice Office at least one Business Day's prior
written (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) notice of each Base
Rate Loan and at least three Business Days' prior written (or telephonic notice
promptly confirmed in writing) notice of each Euro Rate Loan to be made
hereunder, provided that any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on a
certain day only if given before 2:00 P.M. (New York time) on such day. Each
such written notice or written confirmation of telephonic notice (each, a
"Notice of Borrowing"), except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 1.10,
shall be irrevocable and shall be given by or on behalf of the respective
Borrower in the form of Exhibit A-1, appropriately completed to specify: (i) the
aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing
(stated in the relevant currency), (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall
be a Business Day), (iii) whether the respective Borrowing shall consist of
Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans, Multicurrency Facility Revolving
Loans, U.S. Borrower Dollar Facility Revolving Loans or Bermuda Borrower Dollar
Facility Revolving Loans, (iv) in the case of Dollar Denominated Loans, whether
the Dollar Denominated Loans being made pursuant to such Borrowing are to be
initially maintained as Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans and (v) in the case
of Euro Rate Loans, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto. The
Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender which is required to make
Loans of the Tranche specified in the

                                      -9-

<PAGE>

respective Notice of Borrowing notice of such proposed Borrowing, of such
Lender's proportionate share thereof (determined in accordance with Section
1.07) and of the other matters required by the immediately preceding sentence to
be specified in the Notice of Borrowing.

                  (b)      (i) Whenever either Borrower desires to make a
Borrowing of Swingline Loans hereunder, an Authorized Officer of such Borrower
shall give the Swingline Lender, (i) not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on
the date that a Dollar Denominated Swingline Loan is to be made and (ii) not
later than 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the Business Day prior to the date that
a Euro Denominated Swingline Loan is to be made, written notice or telephonic
notice promptly confirmed in writing of each Swingline Loan to be made
hereunder. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall be given by or on
behalf of the respective Borrower in the form of Exhibit A-1, appropriately
completed to specify: (A) the date of Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day),
(B) the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans to be made pursuant to
such Borrowing (stated in the relevant currency) and (C) whether the respective
Swingline Loans shall constitute Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loans, U.S.
Borrower Dollar Facility Swingline Loans or Bermuda Borrower Dollar Facility
Swingline Loans.

                  (ii)     Mandatory Borrowings shall be made upon the notice
specified in Section 1.01(g) or (h), as applicable, with each Borrower
irrevocably agreeing, by its incurrence of any Swingline Loan, to the making of
the Mandatory Borrowings as set forth in Section 1.01(g) or (h), as applicable.

                  (c)      Without in any way limiting the obligation of either
Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic notice permitted to be given
hereunder, the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender (in the case of a
Borrowing of Swingline Loans), the respective Issuing Lender (in the case of the
issuance of Letters of Credit) or the respective Bank Guaranty Issuer (in the
case of the issuance of Bank Guaranties), as the case may be, may, prior to
receipt of written confirmation, act without liability upon the basis of such
telephonic notice, believed by the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender,
such Issuing Lender or such Bank Guaranty Issuer, as the case may be, in good
faith to be from an Authorized Officer of such Borrower. In each such case, the
Administrative Agent's, the Swingline Lender's, the respective Issuing Lender's
or the respective Bank Guaranty Issuer's record of the terms of such telephonic
notice shall be conclusive evidence of the contents of such notice, absent
manifest error.

                  1.03 Disbursement of Funds. Not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York
time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing (or (x) in the case of
Swingline Loans, not later than 3:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date specified
pursuant to Section 1.03(b)(i) and (y) in the case of Mandatory Borrowings, not
later than 10:00 A.M. (New York time) on the date specified in Section 1.01(g)
or (h), as applicable), each Lender with a Commitment under the respective
Tranche (or each Lender required to make Loans pursuant to the respective
Mandatory Borrowing), will make available its pro rata portion (determined in
accordance with Section 1.07) of each such Borrowing requested to be made on
such date (or in the case of Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender shall make
available the full amount thereof). All such amounts shall be made available in
Dollars (in the case of Dollar Denominated Loans) or in Euros (in the case of
Euro Denominated Loans), as the case may be, and in immediately available funds
at the Payment Office of the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent
will make available

                                      -10-

<PAGE>

to the respective Borrower the Payment Office or such other location as may be
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and specified in the
relevant Notice of Borrowing (or to the Swingline Lender in the case of a
Mandatory Borrowing) the aggregate of the amounts so made available by the
Lenders prior to (x) 3:00 P.M. (New York time) on such day (excluding Swingline
Loans and Revolving Loans made pursuant to Mandatory Borrowings) and (y) 4:00
P.M. (New York time) on such day, in the case of any Swingline Loan, in each
case to the extent of funds actually received by the Administrative Agent prior
to such times on such day. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been
notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not
intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's portion of
any Borrowing to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that
such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such
date of Borrowing and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to the relevant Borrower a corresponding amount. If
such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative
Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such
corresponding amount on demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay
such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent's demand
therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the relevant Borrower
to pay immediately such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent and
such Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover
on demand from such Lender or the U.S. Borrower or the Bermuda Borrower, as the
case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from
the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative
Agent to the respective Borrower until the date such corresponding amount is
recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if
recovered from such Lender, the overnight Federal Funds Rate and (ii) if
recovered from the respective Borrower, the rate of interest applicable to the
respective Borrowing, as determined pursuant to Section 1.08. Nothing in this
Section 1.04 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to make
Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the relevant Borrower may have
against any Lender as a result of any failure by such Lender to make Loans
hereunder.

                  1.04 Notes. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 1.05(k),

amount of each Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof and will
prior to any transfer of any of its Notes endorse on the reverse side thereof
the outstanding principal amount of Loans evidenced thereby. Failure to make any
such notation or any error in any such notation or endorsement shall not affect
either Borrower's obligations in respect of any Loans.

                  (k)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
above or elsewhere in this Agreement, Notes shall only be delivered to Lenders
that at any time specifically request the delivery of such Notes. No failure of
any Lender to request or obtain a Note evidencing its Loans to either Borrower
shall affect or in any manner impair the obligations of the respective Borrower
to pay the Loans (and all related Obligations) which would otherwise be
evidenced thereby in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, and
shall not in any way affect the security or guaranties therefor provided
pursuant to the various Credit Documents. Any Lender that does not have a Note
evidencing its outstanding Loans shall in no event be required to make the
notations otherwise described in preceding clause (j). At any time when any
Lender requests the delivery of a Note to evidence any of its Loans, the
relevant Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to the respective Lender

                  1.05 Conversions. Each Borrower shall have the option to

a portion equal to at least the applicable Minimum Borrowing Amount (and, if
greater, in an integral multiple of $500,000) of the outstanding principal
amount of Dollar Denominated Loans (other than Dollar Denominated Swingline
Loans, which shall at all times be maintained as Base Rate Loans) made pursuant
to one or more Borrowings of one or more Types of Dollar Denominated Loans under
a single Tranche into a Borrowing or Borrowings of another Type of Dollar
Denominated Loan under such Tranche, provided that (i) except as otherwise
provided in Section 1.10(b) or unless the respective Borrower pays all amounts
owing pursuant to Section 1.11 concurrently with any such conversion, Eurodollar
Loans may be converted into Base Rate Loans only on the last day of an Interest
Period applicable to the Eurodollar Loans being converted and no such partial
conversion of Eurodollar Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of
such Eurodollar Loans

                                      -15-

<PAGE>

made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than the applicable Minimum
Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, (ii) unless the Required Lenders otherwise
agree, Base Rate Loans may only be converted into Eurodollar Loans if no Default
or Event of Default is in existence on the date of conversion, (iii) unless the
Administrative Agent has determined that the Syndication Date has occurred (at
which time this clause (iii) shall no longer be applicable), prior to the 90th
day after the Initial Borrowing Date, conversions of Base Rate Loans into
Eurodollar Loans may only be made if any such conversion is effective on the
first day of the first, second or third Interest Period referred to in clause
(B) of each of Sections 1.01(a)(iii) 1.01(b)(iii) and 1.01(d)(ii) and clause (1)
of Section 1.01(c)(ii) and so long as such conversion does not result in a
greater number of Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans prior to the 90th day after the
Initial Borrowing Date as are permitted under Sections 1.01(a)(iii) 1.01(b)(iii)
and 1.01(d)(ii) and clause (1) of Section 1.01(c)(ii) and (iv) no conversion
pursuant to this Section 1.06 shall result in a greater number of Borrowings of
Euro Rate Loans than is permitted under Section 1.02. Each such conversion shall
be effected by a Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent at its Notice
Office prior to 2:00 P.M. (New York time) at least three Business Days' prior
notice (each, a "Notice of Conversion/Continuation") in the form of Exhibit A-2,
appropriately completed to specify the Dollar Denominated Loans to be so
converted, the Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such Dollar Denominated
Loans were made and, if to be converted into Eurodollar Loans, the Interest
Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall give
each Lender prompt notice of any such proposed conversion affecting any of its
Dollar Denominated Loans.

                  1.06 Pro Rata Borrowings. All Borrowings of Tranche A Term
Loans, Tranche B Term Loans, Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loans (including
Mandatory Multicurrency Facility RL Borrowings) and Dollar Facility Revolving
Loans (including U.S. Borrower Dollar Facility Revolving Loans, Bermuda Borrower
Dollar Facility Revolving Loans and Mandatory Dollar Facility RL Borrowings)
under this Agreement shall be incurred from the Lenders pro rata on the basis of
such Lenders' Tranche A Term Loan Commitments, Tranche B Term Loan Commitments,
Multicurrency Facility RL Percentages or Dollar Facility RL Percentages, as the
case may be. All Borrowings of Swingline Loans shall be incurred from the
Swingline Lender. It is understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any
default by any other Lender of its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that
each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it
hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Loans
hereunder.

                  1.07 Interest. (a) The U.S. Borrower hereby agrees to pay (in
the case of Tranche A Term Loans and U.S. Borrower Dollar Facility Revolving
Loans, in each case maintained as Base Rate Loans, and U.S. Borrower Dollar
Facility Swingline Loans) and the Bermuda Borrower hereby agrees to pay (in the
case of Tranche B Term Loans, Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loans,
Multicurrency Facility Swingline Loans and Bermuda Borrower Dollar Facility
Revolving Loans, in each case maintained as Base Rate Loans, and Bermuda
Borrower Dollar Facility Swingline Loans (including any Euro Denominated Loan
made to the Bermuda Borrower and converted into a Dollar Denominated Loan
pursuant to Section 1.14)), interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount
of each Base Rate Loan made to it from the date the proceeds thereof are made
available to it (or, in the case of a conversion of any Euro Denominated Loan
into a Dollar Denominated Loan pursuant to Section 1.14, from the date of the
conversion of such Loan) until the earlier of (i) the maturity (whether by
acceleration or

                                      -16-

<PAGE>

otherwise) of such Base Rate Loan and (ii) the conversion of such Base Rate Loan
to a Eurodollar Loan pursuant to Section 1.06, at a rate per annum which shall
be equal to the sum of the Base Rate in effect from time to time during the
period such Base Rate Loan is outstanding plus the relevant Applicable Margin as
in effect from time to time.

                  (b)      The U.S. Borrower hereby agrees to pay (in the case
of Tranche A Term Loans and U.S. Borrower Dollar Facility Revolving Loans
maintained as Eurodollar Loans) and the Bermuda Borrower hereby agrees to pay
(in the case of Tranche B Term Loans, Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loans and
Bermuda Borrower Dollar Facility Revolving Loans maintained as Eurodollar
Loans), interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar
Loan made to it from the date the proceeds thereof are made available to it
until the earlier of (i) the maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of
such Eurodollar Loan and (ii) the conversion of such Eurodollar Loan to a Base
Rate Loan pursuant to Section 1.06, 1.09 or 1.10, as applicable, at a rate per
annum which shall, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to
the sum of the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the relevant
Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time.

                  (c)      The Bermuda Borrower hereby agrees to pay interest in
respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Euro Denominated Revolving Loan
made to it from the date the proceeds thereof are made available to it until the
maturity thereof (whether by acceleration, prepayment or otherwise) at a rate
per annum which shall, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal
to the sum of the relevant Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time plus
Euro LIBOR for such Interest Period plus any Mandatory Costs.

                  (d)      The Bermuda Borrower hereby agrees to pay interest in
respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Euro Denominated Swingline Loan
made to it from the date the proceeds thereof are made available to it until the
maturity thereof (whether by acceleration, prepayment or otherwise) at a rate
per annum which shall be equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin for Euro
Denominated Revolving Loans as in effect from time to time plus the Overnight
Euro Rate in effect from time to time during the period such Euro Denominated
Swingline Loan is outstanding plus any Mandatory Costs.

                  (e)      Overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by
law, overdue interest in respect of each Loan and any other overdue amount
payable hereunder shall, in each case, bear interest at a rate per annum (1) in
the case of overdue principal of, and interest or other overdue amounts owing
with respect to, Euro Denominated Revolving Loans and overdue amounts owing with
respect to Euro Denominated Letter of Credit Outstandings and Euro Denominated
Bank Guaranty Outstandings, equal to 2% per annum in excess of the relevant
Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time plus Euro LIBOR for such
successive periods not exceeding three months as the Administrative Agent may
determine from time to time in respect of amounts comparable to the amount not
paid plus any Mandatory Costs, (2) in the case of overdue principal of, and
interest or other amounts owing with respect to, Euro Denominated Swingline
Loans, equal to 2% per annum in excess of the Applicable Margin for Euro
Denominated Revolving Loans as in effect from time to time plus the Overnight
Euro Rate as in effect from time to time plus any Mandatory Costs, (3) in all
other cases, equal to the greater of (x) 2% per annum in excess of the rate
otherwise applicable to Base Rate Loans maintained pursuant to the respective
Tranche (or, if the overdue amount owing does not relate to any

                                      -17-

<PAGE>

specific Tranche, the rate otherwise applicable to Dollar Facility Revolving
Loans which are maintained as Base Rate Loans) from time to time and (y) the
rate which is 2% in excess of the rate then borne by such Loans, in each case
with such interest to be payable on demand.

                  (f)      Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest shall be
payable (i) in respect of each Base Rate Loan and each Swingline Loan, quarterly
in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, (ii) in respect of each Euro Rate
Loan (other than a Euro Denominated Swingline Loan), on the last day of each
Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in
excess of three months, on each date occurring at three month intervals after
the first day of such Interest Period and (iii) in respect of each Loan, on any
repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid), at maturity (whether
by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand.

                  (g)      Upon each Interest Determination Date, the
Administrative Agent shall determine the Euro Rate for the respective Interest
Period or Interest Periods and shall promptly notify the respective Borrower and
the respective Lenders thereof. Each such determination shall, absent manifest
error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

                  1.08 Interest Periods. At the time a Borrower gives any Notice
of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation in respect of the making of,
or conversion into, any Euro Rate Loan (other than a Euro Denominated Swingline
Loan) (in the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or on the
third Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to
such Euro Rate Loan (in the case of any subsequent Interest Period), the
respective Borrower shall have the right to elect, by having an Authorized
Officer of such Borrower give the Administrative Agent notice thereof, the
interest period (each, an "Interest Period") applicable to such Euro Rate Loan,
which Interest Period shall, at the option of such Borrower (but otherwise
subject to clause (B) of Sections 1.01(a)(iii) 1.01(b)(iii) and 1.01(d)(ii) and
clause (1) of Section 1.01(c)(ii) and clause (iii) of the proviso appearing in
Section 1.06) be (x) in the case of a Eurodollar Loan, a one, two, three or
six-month period or (y) in the case of any Euro Denominated Loan (other than a
Euro Denominated Swingline Loan), a one, two, three or six-month period or (if
required pursuant to clause (2) of Section 1.01(c)(ii)) a one-week period;
provided that:

                  (i)      all Euro Rate Loans comprising the same Borrowing
         shall at all times have the same Interest Period;

                  (ii)     the initial Interest Period for any Euro Rate Loan
         shall commence on the date of Borrowing of such Euro Rate Loan
         (including, in the case of Dollar Denominated Loans, the date of any
         conversion thereto from a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans) and each
         Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Euro Rate Loan
         shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period
         applicable thereto expires;

                  (iii)    if any Interest Period relating to a Euro Rate Loan
         begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in
         the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest
         Period shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month;

                                      -18-

<PAGE>

                  (iv)     if any Interest Period for a Euro Rate Loan would
         otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest
         Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided,
         however, that if any Interest Period for a Euro Rate Loan would
         otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a day of
         the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month,
         such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;

                  (v)      no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing under
         a given Tranche of Loans shall be selected which extends beyond the
         respective Maturity Date for such Tranche of Loans; and

                  (vi)     no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of
         Tranche A Term Loans or Tranche B Term Loans shall be elected which
         extends beyond any date upon which a Scheduled Repayment for the
         respective Tranche of Term Loans will be required to be made under
         Section 4.02(b) if, after giving effect to the election of such
         Interest Period, the aggregate principal amount of such Tranche A Term
         Loans or Tranche B Term Loans, as the case may be, which have Interest
         Periods which will expire after such date will be in excess of the
         aggregate principal amount of such Tranche A Term Loans or Tranche B
         Term Loans, as the case may be, then outstanding less the aggregate
         amount of such required Scheduled Repayment.

With respect to any Euro Denominated Loans (other than Euro Denominated
Swingline Loans), at the end of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing
thereof, the Bermuda Borrower may elect to split the respective Borrowing into
two or more Borrowings of the same Type or combine two or more Borrowings of the
same Type into a single Borrowing, in each case, by having an Authorized Officer
of the Bermuda Borrower give notice thereof together with its election of one or
more Interest Periods, in each case so long as each resulting Borrowing (x) has
an Interest Period which complies with the foregoing requirements of this
Section 1.09, (y) has a principal amount which is not less than the Minimum
Borrowing Amount applicable to Borrowings of the respective Type and Tranche,
and (z) does not cause a violation of the requirements of Section 1.02. If upon
the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of Euro Rate
Loans, the respective Borrower has failed to elect, or is not permitted to
elect, a new Interest Period to be applicable to such Euro Rate Loans as
provided above, such Borrower shall be deemed to have elected (x) if Eurodollar
Loans, to convert such Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans and (y) if Euro
Denominated Loans, to select a one-month Interest Period for such Euro
Denominated Loans, in any such case effective as of the expiration date of such
current Interest Period.

                  1.09 Increased Costs; Illegality; etc. (a) In the event that
any Lender shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall,
absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties
hereto but, with respect to clauses (i) and (iv) below, may be made only by the
Administrative Agent):

                  (i)      on any Interest Determination Date that, by reason of
         any changes arising after the Effective Date affecting the applicable
         interbank market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining
         the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the
         definition of the respective Euro Rate; or

                                      -19-

<PAGE>

                  (ii)     at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased
         costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder
         with respect to any Euro Rate Loan because of (x) any change since the
         Effective Date in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation,
         order, guideline or request (whether or not having the force of law) or
         in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the
         introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, order,
         guideline or request, such as, for example, but not limited to (A) a
         change in the basis of taxation of payments to a Lender of the
         principal of or interest on the Loans or any other amounts payable
         hereunder (except for changes in the rate of tax on, or determined by
         reference to, the net income or net profits of such Lender imposed by
         the jurisdiction in which its principal office or applicable lending
         office is located), or (B) a change in official reserve requirements,
         but, in all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to
         the extent included in the computation of the Eurodollar Rate and/or
         (y) other circumstances arising since the date of this Agreement
         affecting such Lender, the interbank market or the position of such
         Lender in such market (whether or not such Lender was a Lender at the
         time of such occurrence); or

                  (iii)    at any time after the Effective Date, that the making
         or continuance of any Euro Rate Loan has been made unlawful by any law
         or governmental rule, regulation or order (or would conflict with any
         governmental rule, regulation, guideline, request or order not having
         the force of law but with which such Lender customarily complies even
         though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or
         impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the
         Effective Date which materially and adversely affects the applicable
         interbank market; or

                  (iv)     at any time that Euros are not available in
         sufficient amounts, as determined in good faith by the Administrative
         Agent, to fund any Borrowing of Euro Denominated Loans requested
         pursuant to Section 1.01;

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the
case of clauses (i) or (iv) above) shall promptly give notice (by telephone
confirmed in writing) to the affected Borrower, and, except in the case of
clauses (i) and (iv) above, to the Administrative Agent of such determination
(which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the
other Lenders). Thereafter (w) in the case of clause (i) above, (A) in the event
Eurodollar Loans are so affected, Eurodollar Loans shall no longer be available
until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies Holdings, any affected
Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by
the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice
of Conversion/Continuation given by either Borrower with respect to Eurodollar
Loans which have not yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall be
deemed rescinded by such Borrower and (B) in the event that any Euro Denominated
Loan is so affected, the relevant Euro Rate shall be determined on the basis
provided in the proviso to the definition of the relevant Euro Rate, (x) in the
case of clause (ii) above, the respective Borrower or Borrowers agrees to pay to
such Lender, upon written demand therefor, such additional amounts (in the form
of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or
otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as shall be
required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in
amounts received or receivable hereunder (with the written notice as to the
additional amounts owed to such Lender, submitted

                                      -20-

<PAGE>

to the respective Borrower or Borrowers by such Lender in accordance with the
foregoing to be, absent manifest error, final and conclusive and binding on all
the parties hereto, although the failure to give any such notice shall not
release or diminish any of the respective Borrower's or Borrowers' obligations
to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 1.10(a) upon the subsequent
receipt of such notice), (y) in the case of clause (iii) above, the respective
Borrower or Borrowers shall take one of the actions specified in Section 1.10(b)
as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by
law and (z) in the case of clause (iv) above, Euro Denominated Loans (exclusive
of any such Euro Denominated Loans which have theretofore been funded) shall no
longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the
Bermuda Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such
notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing
or notice pursuant to Section 1.03(b)(i) given by the Bermuda Borrower with
respect to such Euro Denominated Loans which have not been incurred shall be
deemed rescinded by the Bermuda Borrower. Each of the Administrative Agent and
each Lender agrees that if it gives notice to either Borrower of any of the
events described in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, it shall promptly
notify such Borrower and, in the case of any such Lender, the Administrative
Agent, if such event ceases to exist.

                  (b)      At any time that any Euro Rate Loan is affected by
the circumstances described in Section 1.10(a)(ii) or (iii), the affected
Borrower may (and in the case of a Euro Rate Loan affected by the circumstances
described in Section 1.10(a)(iii) shall) either (x) if the affected Euro Rate
Loan is then being made initially or pursuant to a conversion, cancel the
respective Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice
(confirmed in writing) on the same date that such Borrower was notified by the
affected Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 1.10(a)(ii) or
(iii) or (y) if the affected Euro Rate Loan is then outstanding, upon at least
three Business Days' written notice to the Administrative Agent, (A) in the case
of a Eurodollar Loan, require the affected Lender to convert such Eurodollar
Loan into a Base Rate Loan (which conversion, in the case of the circumstance
described in Section 1.10(a)(iii), shall occur no later than the last day of the
Interest Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Loan or such earlier day as
shall be required by applicable law) and (B) in the case of any Euro Rate Loan
(other than a Eurodollar Loan), repay all outstanding Borrowings which include
such affected Euro Rate Loans in full in accordance with the applicable
requirements of Section 4.01; provided that, (i) if the circumstances described
in Section 1.10(a)(iii) apply to any Euro Denominated Loan, the Bermuda Borrower
may, in lieu of taking the actions described above, maintain such Euro
Denominated Loan outstanding, in which case, (x) in the case of Euro Denominated
Revolving Loans, the applicable Euro Rate shall be determined on the basis
provided in the proviso to the definition of Euro LIBOR and (y) in the case of
Euro Denominated Swingline Loans, the applicable interest rate shall be
determined on the basis provided in the proviso to the definition of Overnight
Euro Rate, as the case may be, unless the maintenance of such Euro Denominated
Loan outstanding on such basis would not stop the conditions described in
Section 1.10(a)(iii) from existing (in which case the actions described above,
without giving effect to the proviso, shall be required to be taken) and (ii) if
more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be
treated the same pursuant to this Section 1.10(b).

                  (c)      If any Lender shall have determined after the
Effective Date that the adoption or effectiveness after the Effective Date of
any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change
therein, or any change after the Effective Date in the interpreta-

                                      -21-

<PAGE>

tion or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or
comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or
compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any
request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force
of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would
have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or such other
corporation's capital or assets as a consequence of such Lender's Commitment or
Commitments hereunder or its obligations hereunder to a level below that which
such Lender or such other corporation could have achieved but for such adoption,
effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's or
such other corporation's policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from
time to time, upon written demand by such Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), accompanied by the notice referred to in the next
succeeding sentence of this clause (c), the Borrowers jointly and severally
agree to pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
such Lender or such other corporation for such reduction in the rate of return
to such Lender or such other corporation. Each Lender, upon determining in good
faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section
1.10(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the relevant Borrower (a
copy of which shall be sent by such Lender to the Administrative Agent), which
notice shall set forth such Lender's basis for asserting its rights under this
Section 1.10(c) and the calculation, in reasonable detail, of such additional
amounts claimed hereunder, although the failure to give any such notice shall
not release or diminish either Borrower's obligations to pay additional amounts
pursuant to this Section 1.10(c) upon the subsequent receipt of such notice. A
Lender's good faith determination of compensation owing under this Section
1.10(c) shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all
the parties hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 1.10(c)
shall require either Borrower or Holdings to pay to any Lender any amount for
which such Lender is compensated by way of payment of Mandatory Costs.

                  (d)      In the event that any Lender shall in good faith
determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and
conclusive and binding on all parties hereto) at any time that such Lender is
required to maintain reserves (including, without limitation, any marginal,
emergency, supplemental, special or other reserves required by applicable law)
which have been established by any Federal, state, local or foreign court or
governmental agency, authority, instrumentality or regulatory body with
jurisdiction over such Lender (including any branch, Affiliate or funding office
thereof) in respect of any Euro Denominated Loans or any category of liabilities
which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on any Euro
Denominated Loan is determined or any category of extensions of credit or other
assets which includes loans by a non-United States office of any Lender to
non-United States residents, then, unless such reserves are included in the
calculation of the interest rate applicable to such Euro Denominated Loans or in
Section 1.10(a)(ii), such Lender shall promptly notify Holdings and/or the
Bermuda Borrower in writing specifying the additional amounts required to
indemnify such Lender against the cost of maintaining such reserves (such
written notice to provide in reasonable detail a computation of such additional
amounts) and the Bermuda Borrower shall pay, to such Lender such specified
amounts as additional interest at the time that the Bermuda Borrower is
otherwise required to pay interest in respect of such Euro Denominated Loan or,
if later, on written demand therefor by such Lender.

                  1.10 Compensation. The Borrowers jointly and severally agree
to compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set
forth in reasonable detail the basis

                                      -22-

<PAGE>

for requesting such compensation), for all losses, expenses and liabilities
(including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability incurred by
reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by
such Lender to fund its Euro Rate Loans but excluding any loss of anticipated
profit) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a
default by such Lender or any Agent) a Borrowing of, or conversion from or into,
Euro Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of
Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn by the
respective Borrower or Borrowers or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section
1.10(a)); (ii) if any repayment (including any repayment made pursuant to
Section 4.01 or 4.02 or as a result of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to
Section 10 or as a result of the replacement of a Lender pursuant to Section
1.13, 4.01 or 13.12(b)) or conversion of any of its Euro Rate Loans occurs on a
date which is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto; (iii)
if any prepayment of any of its Euro Rate Loans is not made on any date
specified in a notice of prepayment given by the respective Borrower or
Borrowers; or (iv) as a consequence of (x) any other default by the respective
Borrower to repay its Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or any
Note held by such Lender or (y) any election made pursuant to Section 1.10(b).
Each Lender's calculation of the amount of compensation owing pursuant to this
Section 1.11 shall be made in good faith. A Lender's basis for requesting
compensation pursuant to this Section 1.11 and a Lender's calculation of the
amount thereof, shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and
binding on all parties hereto.

                  1.11 Change of Lending Office. (a) Each Lender may at any time
or from time to time designate, by written notice to the Administrative Agent to
the extent not already reflected on Schedule II, one or more lending offices
(which, for this purpose, may include Affiliates of the respective Lender) for
the various Loans made, Letters of Credit participated in, by such Lender
(including, without limitation, by designating a separate lending office (or
Affiliate) to act as such with respect to Dollar Denominated Loans, Dollar
Denominated Letter of Credit Outstandings and Dollar Denominated Bank Guaranty
Outstandings versus Euro Denominated Loans, Euro Denominated Letter of Credit
Outstandings and Euro Denominated Bank Guaranty Outstandings); provided that,
for designations made after the Effective Date (unless such designation is made
after the occurrence of a Sharing Event as a result of any Lender's purchase of
Loans pursuant to Section 1.14), to the extent such designation shall result in
increased costs under Section 1.10, 2A.06, 2B.06 or 4.04 in excess of those
which would be charged in the absence of the designation of a different lending
office (including a different Affiliate of the respective Lender), then the
Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay such excess increased costs (although if
such designation results in increased costs, the Borrowers shall be obligated to
pay the costs which would have applied in the absence of such designation and
any subsequent increased costs of the type described above resulting from
changes after the date of the respective designation). Except as provided in the
immediately preceding sentence, each lending office and Affiliate of any Lender
designated as provided above shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, be
treated in the same manner as the respective Lender (and shall be entitled to
all indemnities and similar provisions in respect of its acting as such
hereunder).

                  (b)      Each Lender agrees that upon the occurrence of any
event giving rise to the operation of Section 1.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section
1.10(c), Section 2A.06, Section 2B.06 or Section 4.04 with respect to such
Lender, it will, if requested by the applicable Borrower by notice to such
Lender, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such

                                      -23-

<PAGE>

Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans, Letters of Credit or
Bank Guaranties affected by such event, provided that such designation is made
on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal
or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the
event giving rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in this Section 1.12
shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of either Borrower or the rights
of any Lender provided in Sections 1.10, 2A.06, 2B.06 and 4.04.

                  1.12 Replacement of Lenders. (x) If any Lender becomes a
Defaulting Lender, (y) upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the
operation of Section 1.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 1.10(c) or (d), Section
2A.06, Section 2B.06 or Section 4.04 with respect to any Lender which results in
such Lender charging to either Borrower increased costs materially in excess of
the average costs being charged by the other Lenders in respect of such
contingency or (z) in the case of a refusal by a Lender to consent to a proposed
change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to this Agreement which
has been approved by the Required Lenders as provided in Section 13.12(b), the
U.S. Borrower shall have the right, in accordance with the requirements of
Section 13.04(b), if no Event of Default then exists or would exist after giving
effect to such replacement, to replace such Lender (the "Replaced Lender") with
one or more Eligible Transferees (collectively, the "Replacement Lender"), none
of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement and
each of whom shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent or, in
the case of a replacement as provided in Section 13.12(b) where the consent of
the respective Lender is required with respect to less than all Tranches of its
Loans or Commitments, at the option of Holdings, to replace only the Commitments
and/or outstanding Loans of such Lender in respect of each Tranche where the
consent of such Lender would otherwise be individually required, with identical
Commitments and/or Loans of the respective Tranche provided by the Replacement
Lender; provided that:

                  (i)      at the time of any replacement pursuant to this
         Section 1.13, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more
         Assignment and Assumption Agreements pursuant to Section 13.04(b) (and
         with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 13.04(b) to be paid by
         the Replacement Lender) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall
         acquire all of the Commitments and all then outstanding Loans (or, in
         the case of the replacement of less than all the Tranches of
         Commitments and outstanding Loans of the respective Replaced Lender,
         all the Commitments and/or all then outstanding Loans relating to the
         Tranche or Tranches with respect to which such Lender is being
         replaced) of, and all participations in all then outstanding Letters of
         Credit and Bank Guaranties issued pursuant to the respective Tranche or
         Tranches where the respective Lender is being replaced by, the Replaced
         Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to (w) the Replaced
         Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum (in the relevant
         currency or currencies) of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and
         all accrued interest on, all then outstanding Loans of the respective
         Replaced Lender under each Tranche with respect to which such Replaced
         Lender is being replaced, (B) an amount equal to all Unpaid Drawings
         (if any) under each Tranche with respect to which the respective
         Replaced Lender is being replaced, in each case that have been funded
         by (and not reimbursed to) such Replaced Lender at such time, together
         with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time, (C) an
         amount equal to all Unreimbursed Payments (if any) under each Tranche
         with respect to which the respective Replaced Lender is being replaced,
         in each case that have been funded by (and not reimbursed to)

                                      -24-

<PAGE>

         such Replaced Lender at such time, together with all then unpaid
         interest with respect thereto at such time, and (D) an amount equal to
         all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, Fees owing to the Replaced Lender
         (but only with respect to the relevant Tranche or Tranches, in the case
         of the replacement of less than all Tranches then held by the
         respective Replaced Lender) pursuant to Section 3.01, (x) in the case
         of the replacement of any Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loan
         Commitment and/or Dollar Facility Revolving Loan Commitment, the
         respective Issuing Lender amounts equal to such Replaced Lender's
         Multicurrency Facility RL Percentage and/or Dollar Facility RL
         Percentage, as the case may be, of any Unpaid Drawings pursuant to
         Letters of Credit issued pursuant to the respective Tranche evidenced
         by such Commitments (which at such time remain Unpaid Drawings) with
         respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender to the
         extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender,
         (y) in the case of the replacement of any Multicurrency Facility
         Revolving Loan Commitment, the respective Bank Guaranty Issuer amounts
         equal to such Replaced Lender's Multicurrency Facility RL Percentage of
         any Unreimbursed Payments pursuant to Bank Guaranties (which at such
         time remain Unreimbursed Payments) with respect to Bank Guaranties
         issued by such Bank Guaranty Issuer to the extent such amount was not
         theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender and (z) in the case of any
         replacement of Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loan Commitments or
         Dollar Facility Revolving Loan Commitments, the Swingline Lender an
         amount equal to such Replaced Lender's pro rata share of any Mandatory
         Multicurrency Facility RL Borrowing and/or Mandatory Dollar Facility RL
         Borrowing (as appropriate) (determined in accordance with Sections
         1.01(g) and/or (h), as appropriate, and 1.07), to the extent such
         amount was not theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender, without
         duplication; and

                  (ii)     all obligations of the Borrowers owing to the
         Replaced Lender in respect of each Tranche where such Replaced Lender
         is being replaced (other than those specifically described in clause
         (i) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been,
         or is concurrently being, paid) shall be paid in full to such Replaced
         Lender concurrently with such replacement.

Upon the execution of the respective Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the
payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above, recordation of the
assignment on the Register by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.17
and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender (when applicable), delivery to
the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the
respective Borrower, (x) the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder
and, unless the respective Replaced Lender continues to have outstanding Term
Loans or any Commitment hereunder, the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute
a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this
Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 1.10, 1.11, 2A.06, 2B.06,
4.04, 13.01 and 13.06), which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender and (y)
in the case of the replacement of any Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loan
Commitment or Dollar Facility Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to this Section
1.13, the Multicurrency Facility RL Percentages and/or Dollar Facility RL
Percentages, as the case may be, of the Lenders shall be automatically adjusted
at such time to give effect to such replacement. In connection with any
replacement of Lenders pursuant to, and as contemplated by, this Section 1.13,
each of the U.S. Borrower and the Bermuda Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes
Holdings to take all necessary action, in the name of the U.S.

                                      -25-

<PAGE>

Borrower or the Bermuda Borrower, as the case may be, as described above in this
Section 1.13 in order to effect the replacement of the respective Lender or
Lenders in accordance with the preceding provisions of this Section 1.13.

                  1.13 Special Provisions Applicable to Lenders Upon the
Occurrence of a Sharing Event. (a) On the date of the occurrence of a Sharing
Event, automatically (and without the taking of any action) (x) all then
outstanding Euro Denominated Loans, all Unpaid Drawings in respect of Letters of
Credit issued for either Borrower's account owed in Euros and all Unreimbursed
Payments in respect of Bank Guaranties issued for the Bermuda Borrower's account
owed in Euros, shall be automatically converted into Loans of the respective
Tranche maintained in, Unpaid Drawings of the respective Tranche owing in, or
Unreimbursed Payments owing in, Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar
Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount of the respective Loans, Unpaid
Drawings or Unreimbursed Payments on the date such Sharing Event first occurred,
which Loans, Unpaid Drawings and Unreimbursed Payments (i) shall continue to be
owed by the U.S. Borrower or the Bermuda Borrower, as the case may be, (ii)
shall at all times thereafter be deemed to be Base Rate Loans and (iii) shall be
immediately due and payable on the date such Sharing Event has occurred) and (y)
all principal, accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts owing with respect
to such Euro Denominated Loans, Unpaid Drawings and Unreimbursed Payments shall
be immediately due and payable in Dollars, taking the Dollar Equivalent of such
principal, accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts. The occurrence of any
conversion of Euro Denominated Loans, Unpaid Drawing or Unreimbursed Payments to
Base Rate Loans as provided above in this Section 1.14(a) shall be deemed to
constitute, for purposes of Section 1.11, a prepayment of Loans before the last
day of any Interest Period relating thereto.

                  (b)      On the date of the occurrence of any Sharing Event,
(i) if any Multicurrency Facility Swingline Loans are outstanding, a Mandatory
Multicurrency Facility RL Borrowing shall be made by the respective
Multicurrency Facility Lenders in accordance with the provisions of Section
1.01(g), (ii) if any Dollar Facility Swingline Loans are outstanding, one or
more Mandatory Dollar Facility RL Borrowings shall be made in accordance with
the requirements of Section 1.01(h), (iii) if there have been any Drawings
pursuant to Letters of Credit which have not yet been reimbursed to the
respective Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2A, the various L/C Participants
in the respective Letters of Credit shall make payments to the Issuing Lender
therefor in accordance with the requirements of Section 2A.04 and (iv) if there
have been any Bank Guaranty Payments pursuant to Bank Guaranties which have not
yet been reimbursed to the respective Bank Guaranty Issuer pursuant to Section
2B, the various B/G Participants in the respective Bank Guaranties shall make
payments to the Bank Guaranty Issuer therefor in accordance with the
requirements of Section 2B.04. Each Lender which is required to make payments
pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be obligated to do so in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. For purposes of making calculations
pursuant to the following provisions of this Section 1.14, such payments shall
be deemed to have been made on the date of the occurrence of the Sharing Event,
before making such calculations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in the immediately preceding sentence, any Lender which has failed, or
fails, to make any payments required to be made by it as described in this
clause (b) (and/or the other relevant Sections of this Agreement) shall remain
obligated to make such payments, together with interest thereon, and shall be
obligated to the Swingline Lender, the respective Issuing Lender or the
respective Bank Guaranty Issuer, as the case may

                                      -26-

<PAGE>

be, for any damages caused by its delay or failure in making any payments
required to be made by it as described above.

                  (c)      On the date of the occurrence of a Sharing Event, the
following actions shall be required to occur: (i) the participations of the RL
Lenders in all then outstanding Letters of Credit shall be automatically
adjusted so that each RL Lender shall participate in each outstanding Letter of
Credit (whether a Multicurrency Facility Letter of Credit or Dollar Facility
Letter of Credit) in accordance with their RL Percentages, rather than their
Multicurrency Facility RL Percentages or their Dollar Facility RL Percentages,
as the case may be, (ii) the participations of the RL Lenders in all then
outstanding Bank Guaranties shall be automatically adjusted so that each RL
Lender shall participate in each outstanding Bank Guaranty in accordance with
their RL Percentages, rather than their Multicurrency Facility RL Percentages
and (iii) if the outstanding principal of all then outstanding Revolving Loans,
and Unpaid Drawings and Unreimbursed Payments theretofore paid, and owing to,
the respective RL Lender (after giving effect to the conversions and events
required by Sections 1.14(a) and (b)), is less than its RL Percentage of the
outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans and the aggregate amount of
all Unpaid Drawings and Unreimbursed Payments at such time, then such RL Lender
shall purchase, for cash in Dollars, participations from other RL Lenders in
their outstanding Revolving Loans, Unpaid Drawings and/or Unreimbursed Payments
so that, after giving effect to such purchases by all RL Lenders which are in
such position, each RL Lender shall have the same credit exposure (with respect
to Revolving Loans, Unpaid Drawings and Unreimbursed Payments), as a percentage
of its Revolving Loan Commitment (before giving effect to any termination or
reduction thereof at or prior to the occurrence of the respective Sharing
Event), as each other RL Lender. Any payments made after the date of the
respective Sharing Event pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be required to
be accompanied by payments of interest (which shall be distributed by the
Administrative Agent to the respective Lender or Lenders entitled to receive the
respective cash payments) at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate or such rate
as may be determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking
industry practice on interbank compensation. The foregoing purchases shall be
accomplished through purchases and sales of participations in the relevant
obligations as required above, and each Lender hereby agrees, at the request of
the Administrative Agent, to enter into customary participation agreements
approved by the Administrative Agent to effect the foregoing. All purchases of
sales of participating interests pursuant to this Section 1.14(d) shall be made
in Dollars. Promptly following the occurrence of a Sharing Event, the
Administrative Agent shall notify each RL Lender and shall specify the amount of
Dollars required from each RL Lender to effect the purchases and sales by the
various RL Lenders of participating interests in the amounts required above
(together with accrued interest with respect to the period for the most recent
payment date through the date of the Sharing Event plus any additional amounts
payable by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 4.04 in respect of such accrued and
unpaid interest). Promptly upon receipt of such request, each RL Lender required
to purchase participations as specified above shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent (in immediately available funds) Dollars in the amounts
specified by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly
deliver the amounts so received to the various RL Lenders who are selling
participations in such amounts as are needed to effect the purchases of
participations as provided above. Promptly following receipt thereof, each RL
Lender which had sold participations as provided above (through the
Administrative Agent) will deliver to each RL Lender (through the Administrative
Agent) which so purchased a participating interest in its

                                      -27-

<PAGE>

Loans, Unpaid Drawings or Unreimbursed Payments a participation certificate
dated the date of such purchase and in such amounts.

                  (d)      In the event that upon the occurrence of a Sharing
Event any Letter of Credit shall be outstanding and undrawn in whole or in part,
or there shall exist any Bank Guaranty Outstandings representing credit exposure
for events which have not then occurred, each RL Lender shall on the date of the
occurrence of such Sharing Event, and after giving effect to the purchases and
sales of participations on such date pursuant to preceding Section 1.14(c), but
before giving effect to the purchases and sales of participations on such date
pursuant to Section 1.14(e), promptly pay over to the Administrative Agent, in
immediately available funds in the currency in which such Letter of Credit is,
or Bank Guaranty Outstandings are, denominated, an amount equal to such RL
Lender's RL Percentage of such undrawn face amount or Bank Guaranty
Outstandings, as applicable, together with interest thereon (denominated in the
relevant currency) from the date of the Sharing Event to the date on which such
amount shall be paid to the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to
that rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking
industry rules or practice on interbank compensation. The Administrative Agent
shall establish a separate account or accounts for each RL Lender in an amount
equal to the amount received from such Lender pursuant to the preceding
sentence. The Administrative Agent shall have sole dominion and control over
each such account (each, a "Special Reserve Account"), and the amounts deposited
in each Special Reserve Account shall be held in such Special Reserve Account
until withdrawn as provided in clause (f), (g) or (h) below in this Section
1.14. The Administrative Agent shall maintain records enabling it to determine
the amounts paid over to it and deposited in the Special Reserve Accounts. As
amounts are drawn under outstanding Letters of Credit or Bank Guaranties in
respect of which amounts have been paid into the various Special Reserve
Accounts pursuant to this Section 1.14(d), amounts shall be drawn ratably from
the Special Reserve Accounts of the various RL Lenders (in accordance with their
RL Percentages) to pay such amounts. The amounts paid to the Administrative
Agent pursuant to this clause (d) shall be held as a reserve against the Letter
of Credit Outstandings and/or Bank Guaranty Outstandings, as the case may be,
shall not constitute Loans or extensions of credit to either Borrower and shall
not give rise to any obligation on the part of either Borrower to pay interest
to any Lender, it being agreed that the Borrowers' reimbursement obligations (x)
in respect of Letters of Credit shall arise only at such times as drawings or
payments are made thereunder as provided in Section 2A.04 and (y) in respect of
Bank Guaranties shall arise only at such times as drawings or payments are made
thereunder as provided in Section 2B.04.

                  (e)      Upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event, but after
giving effect to the actions required to be taken pursuant to preceding clause
(a) through (d) (although any failure by any Lender to take the actions required
of it pursuant to said clauses shall not prevent the exchanges required hereby,
but the respective Lender shall continue to be obligated to perform its
obligations as required above and the Administrative Agent shall be authorized
to make any equitable adjustments as may be deemed necessary or desirable
pursuant to following clause (i) of this Section 1.14), the Lenders shall
automatically and without further action be deemed to have exchanged interests
in the respective Tranches of Loans (including, in the case of the Total
Revolving Loan Commitment, interests in each outstanding Letter of Credit, each
Unpaid Drawing, each Bank Guaranty and each Unreimbursed Payment) such that, in
lieu of the interests of each Lender in each Tranche, such Lender shall hold an
interest in all Tranches at such time

                                      -28-

<PAGE>

(including, (x) in the case of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment, an interest
in each outstanding Letter of Credit, each Unpaid Drawing, each Bank Guaranty
and each Unreimbursed Payment and (y) each Special Reserve Account established
pursuant to Section 1.14(d) and all amounts deposited therein from time to time
or to be returned to the Lenders in accordance with the provisions of Section
1.14(g)), whether or not such Lender shall previously have participated therein,
equal to such Lender's Exchange Percentage thereof. The foregoing exchanges
shall be accomplished automatically pursuant to this clause (e) through
purchases and sales of participations in the various Tranches as required
hereby, although at the request of the Administrative Agent each Lender hereby
agrees to enter into customary participation agreements approved by the
Administrative Agent to evidence same. All purchases and sales of participating
interests pursuant to this Section 1.14(e) shall be made in Dollars. At the
request of the Administrative Agent, each Lender which has sold participations
in any of its Tranches and/or Special Reserve Accounts as provided above
(through the Administrative Agent) will deliver to each Lender (through the
Administrative Agent) which has so purchased a participating interest therein a
participation certificate in the appropriate amount as determined in conjunction
with the Administrative Agent. It is understood that the amount of funds
delivered by each Lender shall be calculated on a net basis, giving effect to
both the sales and purchases of participations by the various Lenders as
required above.

                  (f)      In the event that after the occurrence of a Sharing
Event any drawing or payment shall be made in respect of a Letter of Credit or
Bank Guaranty, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the respective
Issuing Lender or Bank Guaranty Issuer, withdraw from the Special Reserve
Account of each of the Lenders (in accordance with each Lender's RL Percentage)
any amounts, up to the amount of such drawing or payment, deposited in the
respective Special Reserve Account and remaining on deposit and deliver such
amounts to such Issuing Lender or Bank Guaranty Issuer, as the case may be, in
satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the various RL Lenders under
Section 2A.04(c) or 2B.04(c), as the case may be (but not of the applicable
Borrower under Section 2A.05(a) or Section 2B.05(a), as the case may be). In the
event that any Lender shall default on its obligation to pay over any amount to
the Administrative Agent in respect of any Letter of Credit or Bank Guaranty as
provided in Section 1.14(d), the respective Issuing Lender or Bank Guaranty
Issuer shall, in the event of a drawing or payment thereunder, have a claim
against such Lender to the same extent as if such Lender had defaulted on its
obligations under Section 2A.04(c) or 2B.04(c), as the case may be, but shall
have no claim against any other Lender, notwithstanding the exchange of
interests in the applicable Borrower's reimbursement obligations pursuant to
Section 1.14(e). Each other Lender shall have a claim against such defaulting
Lender for any damages sustained by it as a result of such default.

                  (g)      In the event that after the occurrence of a Sharing
Event any Letter of Credit or Bank Guaranty shall terminate or expire undrawn or
unpaid upon, then, if and so long as the Administrative Agent determines (in its
reasonable discretion) that adequate funds remain on deposit in the Special
Reserve Accounts of the various RL Lenders to fund (without giving effect to the
purchases of participation pursuant to Section 1.14(e)) all remaining drawings
or payments which could come due in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit
and/or Bank Guaranties, the Administrative Agent shall withdraw from the Special
Reserve Account of each Lender the amount remaining on deposit therein in
respect of such Letter of Credit or Bank Guaranty (or in any case, such lesser
amount as the Administrative Agent reasonably determines

                                      -29-

<PAGE>

can be distributed without causing the amount on deposit from the various RL
Lenders to be less than the remaining exposure on outstanding Letters of Credit
and Bank Guaranties) and distribute such amount to such Lender, provided that,
if such amount is not denominated in Dollars, the Administrative Agent shall
distribute to each such Lender the Dollar Equivalent of such amount. All amounts
received by any Lender pursuant to this clause (g) shall, to the extent it has
sold participations therein in accordance with the requirements of Section
1.14(e), be distributed by it to the various participants therein in accordance
with their participating interests.

                  (h)      Pending the withdrawal of any amounts from its
Special Reserve Account as contemplated above in this Section 1.14, the
Administrative Agent may, and shall, at the direction of the Required Lenders
and subject to such rules as the Administrative Agent may prescribe for the
avoidance of inconvenience, invest such amounts in Cash Equivalents.

                  (i)      All determinations by the Administrative Agent
pursuant to this Section 1.14 shall be made by it in accordance with the
provisions herein and with the intent being to equitably share the credit risk
for all Tranches hereunder in accordance with the provisions hereof. Absent
manifest error, all determinations by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall
be binding on the Borrowers and each of the Lenders. The Administrative Agent
shall have no liability to either Borrower or Lender hereunder for any
determinations made by it hereunder except to the extent resulting from the
Administrative Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by
a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

                  (j)      Upon, and after, the occurrence of a Sharing Event
(i) no further Credit Events shall be made or occur, (ii) all amounts from time
to time accruing with respect to, and all amounts from time to time payable on
account of, Euro Denominated Loans (including, without limitation, any interest
and other amounts which were accrued but unpaid on the date of such Sharing
Event) shall be payable in Dollars (taking the Dollar Equivalents of all such
amounts on the date of the occurrence of the respective Sharing Event, with all
calculations for periods after the Sharing Event being made as if the respective
such Loan had originally been made in Dollars) and shall be distributed by the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders which made such Loans or are
participating therein and (iii) all Revolving Loan Commitments of all the RL
Lenders shall be automatically terminated. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained above, the failure of any Lender to purchase its
participating interests as required above in any extensions of credit upon the
occurrence of a Sharing Event shall not relieve any other Lender of its
obligation hereunder to purchase its participating interests in a timely manner,
but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to
purchase the participating interest to be purchased by such other Lender on any
date.

                  (k)      If any amount required to be paid by any Lender
pursuant to this Section 1.14 is not paid to the Administrative Agent on the
date upon which the Sharing Event occurred, such Lender shall, in addition to
such aforementioned amount, also pay to the Administrative Agent on demand an
amount equal to the product of (i) the amount so required to be paid by such
Lender for the purchase of its participations, (ii) the daily average Federal
Funds Rate, during the period from and including the date of request for payment
to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Administrative
Agent and (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that
elapsed during such period and the denominator of which is

                                      -30-

<PAGE>

360. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with
respect to any amounts payable under this Section 1.14 shall be conclusive in
the absence of manifest error. Amounts payable by any Lender pursuant to this
Section 1.14 shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
relevant Lenders, provided that, if the Administrative Agent (in its sole
discretion) has elected to fund on behalf of such other Lender the amounts owing
to such other Lenders, then the amounts shall be paid to the Administrative
Agent for its own account.

                  (l)      Whenever, at any time after the relevant Lenders have
received from any other Lenders purchases of participations pursuant to this
Section 1.14, the various Lenders receive any payment on account thereof, such
Lenders will distribute to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the
various Lenders participating therein, such Lenders' participating interests in
such amounts (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to
reflect the period of time during which such participations were outstanding) in
like funds as received, provided, however, that in the event that such payment
received by any Lenders is required to be returned, the Lenders who received
previous distributions in respect of their participating interests therein will
return to the respective Lenders any portion thereof previously so distributed
to them in like funds as such payment is required to be returned by the
respective Lenders.

                  (m)      Each Lender's obligation to purchase participating
interests pursuant to this Section 1.14 shall be absolute and unconditional and
shall not be affected by any circumstance including, without limitation, (i) any
setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may
have against any other Lender, Holdings, either Borrower or any other Person for
any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of
Default, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of
Holdings, either Borrower or any other Person, (iv) any breach of this Agreement
by Holdings, either Borrower, any Lender or any other Person, or (v) any other
circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of
the foregoing.

                  (n)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
elsewhere in this Agreement, upon any purchase of participations as required
above, (i) each Lender which has purchased such participations shall be entitled
to receive from the relevant Borrower any increased costs and indemnities
(including, without limitation, pursuant to Sections 1.11, 1.12, 2A.06, 2B.06
and 4.04) directly from such Borrower to the same extent as if it were the
direct Lender as opposed to a participant therein, which increased costs shall
be calculated without regard to Section 1.13, Section 13.04(a) or the
penultimate sentence of Section 13.04(b) and (ii) each Lender which has sold
such participations shall be entitled to receive from the relevant Borrower
indemnification from and against any and all taxes imposed as a result of the
sale of the participations pursuant to this Section 1.14. Each Borrower
acknowledges and agrees that, upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event and after
giving effect to the requirements of this Section 1.14, increased Taxes may be
owing by it pursuant to Section 4.04, which Taxes shall be paid (to the extent
provided in Section 4.04) by the respective Borrower or Borrowers, without any
claim that the increased Taxes are not payable because same resulted from the
participations effected as otherwise required by this Section 1.14.

                  SECTION 2.

                  SECTION 2A. Letters of Credit.

                  2A.01 Letters of Credit. (a) Subject to and upon the terms and
conditions herein set forth, a Borrower may request an Issuing Lender, at any
time and from time to time on and after the Initial Borrowing Date and prior to
the fifth Business Day (or the 30th day in the case of Trade Letters of Credit)
preceding the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, to issue, (x) for the account of the
U.S. Borrower (in the case of requests made by it) or the account of the Bermuda
Borrower (in the case of requests made by it) and for the benefit of any holder
(or any trustee, agent or other similar representative for any such holders) of
L/C Supportable Indebtedness of the respective Account Party or any of its or
their Subsidiaries, irrevocable standby letters of credit in a form customarily
used by such Issuing Lender or in such other form as has been approved by such
Issuing Lender (each such standby letter of credit, a "Standby Letter of
Credit") in support of such L/C Supportable Indebtedness and (y) for the account
of the respective Account Party and for the benefit of sellers of goods to the
respective Account Party or any of its or their Subsidiaries in the ordinary
course of business, irrevocable sight trade letters of credit in a form
customarily used by such Issuing Lender or in such other form as has been
approved by such Issuing Lender (each such trade letter of credit, a "Trade
Letter of Credit", and each such Standby Letter of Credit and Trade Letter of
Credit, a "Letter of Credit" and collectively, the "Letters of Credit"). All
Letters of Credit shall be issued on a sight basis only. Each Letter of Credit
shall constitute either (x) a Multicurrency Facility Letter of Credit, in which
case such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to constitute a utilization of the
Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loan Commitments and shall, subject to the
provisions of Section 1.14 if a Sharing Event occurs, be participated in (as
more fully described in following Section 2A.04(a)) by the Multicurrency
Facility RL Lenders in accordance with their respective Multicurrency Facility
RL Percentages or (y) a Dollar Facility Letter of Credit, in which case such
Letter of Credit shall be deemed to constitute a utilization of the Dollar
Facility Revolving Loan Commitments and shall, subject to the provisions of
Section 1.14 if a Sharing Event occurs, be participated in (as more fully
described in following Section 2A.04(a)) by the Dollar Facility RL Lenders in
accordance with their respective Dollar Facility RL Percentages. All
Multicurrency Facility Letters of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars or
Euros and shall be issued for the account of the Bermuda Borrower. All Dollar
Facility Letters of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars and shall be issued
for the account of the U.S. Borrower or the Bermuda Borrower. Each Dollar
Facility Letter of Credit shall constitute either a U.S. Borrower Dollar
Facility Letter of Credit or a Bermuda Borrower Dollar Facility Letter of
Credit. The Bermuda Borrower shall have no liability with respect to any U.S.
Borrower Dollar Facility Letter of Credit which may be issued to the U.S.
Borrower.

                  (b)      Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set
forth herein, each Issuing Lender hereby agrees that it will, at any time and
from time to time on and after the Initial Borrowing Date and prior to the fifth
Business Day (or the 30th day in the case of Trade Letters of Credit) preceding
the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, following its receipt of the respective Letter
of Credit Request, issue for the account of the respective Account Party one or
more Letters of Credit, (x) in the case of Trade Letters of Credit, in support
of trade obligations of the respective Account Party or any of its or their
Subsidiaries that arise in the ordinary course of business or (y) in the case of
Standby Letters of Credit, in support of such L/C Supportable Indebtedness as is
permitted to remain outstanding without giving rise to a Default or Event of

                                      -32-

<PAGE>

Default hereunder; provided that the respective Issuing Lender shall be under no
obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if at the time of such issuance:

                  (i)      any order, judgment or decree of any governmental
         authority or arbitrator shall purport by its terms to enjoin or
         restrain such Issuing Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit or any
         requirement of law applicable to such Issuing Lender or any request or
         directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any
         governmental authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Lender shall
         prohibit, or request that such Issuing Lender refrain from, the
         issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in
         particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender with respect to
         such Letter of Credit any restriction or reserve or capital requirement
         (for which such Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated) not in
         effect on the date hereof, or any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense
         which was not applicable, in effect or known to such Issuing Lender as
         of the date hereof and which such Issuing Lender in good faith deems
         material to it;

                  (ii)     such Issuing Lender shall have received written
         notice from any Credit Agreement Party or the Required Lenders prior to
         the issuance of such Letter of Credit of the type described in clause
         (viii) of Section 2A.01(c) or the last sentence of Section 2A.03(b); or

                  (iii)    a Lender Default exists with respect to any RL
         Lender, unless the Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements
         satisfactory to it and the respective Account Party to eliminate such
         Issuing Lender's risk with respect to the Lender which is the subject
         of the Lender Default, including by cash collateralizing (in Dollars or
         Euros, as appropriate) such Lender's relevant Dollar Facility RL
         Percentage or Multicurrency Facility RL Percentage, as the case may be,
         of the Dollar Facility Letter of Credit Outstandings or Multicurrency
         Facility Letter of Credit Outstandings, as the case may be.

                  (c)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Multicurrency
Facility Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which, when added
to the sum of (x) the Multicurrency Facility Letter of Credit Outstandings
(exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid on the date of, and prior to the
issuance of, the respective Multicurrency Facility Letter of Credit) at such
time and (y) the Bank Guaranty Outstandings (exclusive of Unreimbursed Payments
which are repaid on the date of, and prior to the issuance of, the respective
Bank Guaranty) at such time, would exceed $100,000,000, (ii) no Dollar Facility
Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which, when added to the
Dollar Facility Letter of Credit Outstandings (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings
which are repaid on the date of, and prior to the issuance of, the respective
Dollar Facility Letter of Credit) at such time, would exceed $75,000,000, (iii)
no Multicurrency Facility Letter of Credit shall be issued at any time when the
Aggregate Multicurrency Facility RL Exposure exceeds (or would after giving
effect to such issuance exceed) the Total Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loan
Commitment at such time, (iv) no Dollar Facility Letter of Credit shall be
issued at any time when the Aggregate Dollar Facility RL Exposure exceeds (or
would after giving effect to such issuance exceed) the Total Dollar Facility
Revolving Loan Commitment at such time, (v) no Bermuda Borrower Dollar Facility
Letter of Credit shall be issued at any time when the Aggregate Bermuda Borrower
Dollar Facility RL Exposure exceeds (or would after giving effect to such
issuance exceed) $50,000,000, (vi) (x) each Standby Letter of Credit shall by
its terms terminate on or before the

                                      -33-

<PAGE>

date which occurs 12 months after the date of the issuance thereof (although any
such Standby Letter of Credit may be extendable for successive periods of up to
12 months, but not beyond the fifth Business Day preceding the Revolving Loan
Maturity Date, on terms acceptable to the Issuing Lender thereof) and (y) each
Trade Letter of Credit shall by its terms terminate on or before the date
occurring not later than 180 days after such Trade Letter of Credit's date of
issuance, (vii) (x) no Standby Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date
occurring later than the fifth Business Day preceding the Revolving Loan
Maturity Date and (y) no Trade Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date
occurring later than 30 days prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, (viii)
(x) each Multicurrency Facility Letter of Credit shall be denominated in Euros
or Dollars and (y) each Dollar Facility Letter of Credit shall be denominated in
Dollars and (ix) no Issuing Lender will issue any Letter of Credit after it has
received written notice from any Credit Agreement Party or the Required Lenders
stating that a Default or an Event of Default exists until such time as such
Issuing Lender shall have received a written notice of (x) rescission of such
notice from the party or parties originally delivering the same or (y) a waiver
of such Default or Event of Default by the Required Lenders.

                  (d)      Part A of Schedule XI hereto contains a description
of certain letters of credit issued pursuant to certain existing letter of
credit agreements and outstanding on the Effective Date (and setting forth, with
respect to each such letter of credit, (i) the name of the issuing lender, (ii)
the letter of credit number, (iii) the name(s) of the account party or account
parties, (iv) the stated amount (including the currency in which such letter of
credit is denominated, which shall be Dollars or Euros), (v) the name of the
beneficiary, (vi) the expiry date and (vii) whether such letter of credit
constitutes a standby letter of credit or a trade letter of credit). Each such
letter of credit, including any extension or renewal thereof (each, as amended
from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof and hereof, an "Existing
Letter of Credit") shall (x) if denominated in Euros, constitute a
"Multicurrency Facility Letter of Credit" for all purposes of this Agreement,
issued, for purposes of Section 2A.04(a), on the Initial Borrowing Date and (y)
if denominated in U.S. Dollars, constitute a "U.S. Borrower Dollar Facility
Letter of Credit"(if issued for the account of the U.S. Borrower) or a "Bermuda
Borrower Dollar Facility Letter of Credit" (if issued for the account of the
Bermuda Borrower) for all purposes of this Agreement, issued, for purposes of
Section 2A.04(a), on the Initial Borrowing Date. Any Lender hereunder which has
issued an Existing Letter of Credit shall constitute an "Issuing Lender" for all
purposes of this Agreement.

                  2A.02 Minimum Stated Amount. The Stated Amount of each Letter
of Credit upon issuance shall be not less than (x) in the case of a Dollar
Denominated Letter of Credit, $250,000 and (y) in the case of a Euro Denominated
Letter of Credit, (euro)250,000, or in each case such lesser amount as is
reasonably acceptable to the respective Issuing Lender.

                  2A.03 Letter of Credit Requests. (a) Whenever an Account Party
desires that a Letter of Credit be issued for its account, such Account Party
shall give the Administrative Agent (at the appropriate Notice Office) and the
respective Issuing Lender at least 3 days' (or such shorter period as is
acceptable to such Issuing Lender in any given case) written notice prior to the
proposed date of issuance (which shall be a Business Day). Each notice shall be
in the form of Exhibit C-1 (each, a "Letter of Credit Request"), including
without limitation by specifying whether the requested Letter of Credit shall
constitute a Multicurrency Facility Letter of Credit, a U.S. Borrower Dollar
Facility Letter of Credit or a Bermuda Borrower Dollar Facility Letter of

                                      -34-

<PAGE>

Credit and the Available Currency in which the requested Letter of Credit is to
be denominated. Each Letter of Credit Request shall include any other documents
as such Issuing Lender customarily requires in connection therewith.

                  (b)      The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be
deemed to be a representation and warranty by the U.S. Borrower or the Bermuda
Borrower, as the case may be, that such Letter of Credit may be issued in
accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section 2A.01(c).
Unless the respective Issuing Lender has received notice from the Required
Lenders before it issues a Letter of Credit that one or more of the applicable
conditions specified in Section 5 or 6, as the case may be, are not then
satisfied, or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate Section
2A.01(c), then such Issuing Lender may issue the requested Letter of Credit for
the account of the respective Account Party in accordance with such Issuing
Lender's usual and customary practices.

                  2A.04 Letter of Credit Participations. (a) Immediately upon
the issuance by any Issuing Lender of any Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender
shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to (i) in the case of a
Multicurrency Facility Letter of Credit, each Multicurrency Facility RL Lender
and (ii) in the case of a Dollar Facility Letter of Credit, each Dollar Facility
RL Lender (each such Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit, in its
capacity under this Section 2A.04, a "L/C Participant"), and each such L/C
Participant shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased
and received from such Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, an
undivided interest and participation, in a percentage equal to (x) in the case
of a Multicurrency Facility Letter of Credit, such L/C Participant's
Multicurrency Facility RL Percentage or (y) in the case of a Dollar Facility
Letter of Credit, such L/C Participant's Dollar Facility RL Percentage, in such
Multicurrency Facility Letter of Credit or Dollar Facility Letter of Credit, as
the case may be, each Drawing made thereunder and the obligations of the
respective Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto (although Letter
of Credit Fees shall be payable directly to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Multicurrency Facility RL Lenders or Dollar Facility RL Lenders,
as the case may be, as provided in Section 3.01(b) and the L/C Participants
shall have no right to receive any portion of any Facing Fees with respect to
any such Letters of Credit) and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining
thereto. Upon any change in (x) the Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loan
Commitments and, as a result thereof the Multicurrency Facility RL Percentages,
of the Multicurrency Facility RL Lenders pursuant to Section 1.13 or 13.04, it
is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Multicurrency Facility
Letters of Credit and Unpaid Drawings relating thereto, there shall be an
automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 2A.04 to
reflect the new Multicurrency Facility RL Percentages of the Multicurrency
Facility RL Lenders and (y) the Dollar Facility Revolving Loan Commitments and,
as a result thereof the Dollar Facility RL Percentages, of the Dollar Facility
RL Lenders pursuant to Sections 1.13 or 13.04, it is hereby agreed that with
respect to all outstanding Dollar Facility Letters of Credit and Unpaid Drawings
relating thereto, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations
pursuant to this Section 2A.04 to reflect the new Dollar Facility RL Percentages
of the Dollar Facility RL Lenders. With respect to each Letter of Credit from
time to time outstanding, the percentage participations therein of the various
Multicurrency Facility RL Lenders (in the case of a Multicurrency Facility
Letter of Credit) or Dollar Facility RL Lenders (in the case of a Dollar
Facility Letter of Credit) calculated as provided above in this Section 2A.04(a)
are herein called the "L/C Participation Percentages" of the various
Multicurrency Facility RL Lenders or Dollar

                                      -35-

<PAGE>

Facility RL Lenders, as the case may be, in such Letters of Credit. All
calculations of the L/C Participation Percentages shall be made from time to
time by the Administrative Agent, which calculations shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. In addition to the adjustments contemplated above, upon the
occurrence of a Sharing Event, in accordance with the provisions of Section
1.14(d), the "L/C Participation Percentages" of the RL Lenders shall be
adjusted, so that each RL Lender shall participate in each outstanding Letter of
Credit (whether a Multicurrency Facility Letter of Credit or a Dollar Facility
Letter of Credit) in accordance with its RL Percentage, in each case as more
fully described in Section 1.14(d). In any instance described in the immediately
preceding sentence, each RL Lender shall be a L/C Participant with respect to
each Letter of Credit and its L/C Participation Percentage in each Letter of
Credit shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the
relevant provisions of Section 1.14(d). Furthermore, upon the occurrence of a
Sharing Event and as more fully set forth in Section 1.14, additional
sub-participations may be required to be granted by the various RL Lenders in
their participations in outstanding Letters of Credit, in each case in
accordance with, and subject to the provisions of, Section 1.14.

                  (b)      In determining whether to pay under any Letter of
Credit, the respective Issuing Lender shall have no obligation relative to the
other Lenders other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered
under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered and that they appear
to substantially comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of
Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Issuing Lender under or
in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it if taken or omitted in the
absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision), shall not create
for such Issuing Lender any resulting liability to any Account Party or any
Lender.

                  (c)      In the event that any Issuing Lender makes any
payment or disbursement under any Letter of Credit issued by it and the
respective Account Party shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such
Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2A.05(a), such Issuing Lender shall promptly
notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each L/C
Participant therein (i.e., (A) if no Sharing Event has occurred, either (x) the
Multicurrency Facility RL Lenders in the case of a Multicurrency Facility Letter
of Credit or (y) the Dollar Facility RL Lenders in the case of a Dollar Facility
Letter of Credit or (B) if a Sharing Event has occurred, each RL Lender) of such
failure, and each L/C Participant therein shall promptly and unconditionally pay
to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender the amount of
such L/C Participant's L/C Participation Percentage (as relates to the
respective Letter of Credit) of the respective Unpaid Drawing (with the amount
thereof and the currency in which same is owing to be calculated in accordance
with the provisions of Section 2A.05(a)) in Dollars (or, to the extent the
respective Unpaid Drawing is, in accordance with Section 2A.05(a), to be
reimbursed by the respective Account Party in Euros, Euros) and in same day
funds. If the Administrative Agent so notifies, prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York
time) on any Business Day, any L/C Participant required to fund an Unpaid
Drawing under a Letter of Credit, such L/C Participant shall make available to
the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office for the account of the respective
Issuing Lender, in Dollars (or in Euros to the extent the respective Unpaid
Drawing is required to be paid by the respective Account Party in Euros, as the
case may be, pursuant to the provisions of Section 2A.05(a)), such L/C
Participant's L/C Participation Percentage (as relates to the respective Letter
of Credit) of the amount of such payment on such

                                      -36-

Business Day in same day funds. If and to the extent that, for any reason, such
L/C Participant shall not have made its L/C Participation Percentage of the
amount of such payment available to the Administrative Agent for the account of
the respective Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender, forthwith on demand
such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date the
respective Unpaid Drawing occurred until the date such amount is paid to the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender at the overnight
Federal Funds Rate (or, in the case of amounts owed in Euros, at the Overnight
Euro Rate), provided that if any L/C Participant does not make available to the
Administrative Agent any amounts required to be made available by it as
described above within 2 Business Days after the respective L/C Participant has
been notified by the Administrative Agent or the respective Issuing Lender to
make such amounts available, then the respective L/C Participant shall pay
interest on the amounts demanded of it at the same rates payable from time to
time by the respective Account Party on the respective Unpaid Drawings pursuant
to Section 2A.05(a). The failure of any L/C Participant to make available to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the respective Issuing Lender its
relevant L/C Participation Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit
issued by it shall not relieve any other L/C Participant in the respective
Letter of Credit of its obligation hereunder to make available to the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender its relevant L/C
Participation Percentage of any such Letter of Credit on the date required, as
specified above, but no L/C Participant shall be responsible for the failure of
any other L/C Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent for the
account of such Issuing Lender such other L/C Participant's relevant L/C
Participation Percentage of any such payment.

                  (d)      Whenever any Issuing Lender receives a payment of a
reimbursement obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for
the account of such Issuing Lender any payments from the L/C Participants
pursuant to clause (c) above, such Issuing Lender shall pay to the
Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay each L/C
Participant which has paid its relevant L/C Participation Percentage thereof, in
Dollars (or in Euros in the case of payments to be made in Euros pursuant to
Section 2A.05(a)) and in same day funds, an amount equal to such L/C
Participant's share (based on the proportionate aggregate amount funded by such
L/C Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all L/C Participants) of the
principal amount of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon accruing
after the purchase of the respective participations.

                  (e)      Each Issuing Lender shall, promptly after the
issuance of, or amendment or modification to, a Standby Letter of Credit, give
the Administrative Agent and the respective Account Party written notice of such
issuance, amendment or modification, as the case may be, and such notice shall
be accompanied by a copy of such Standby Letter of Credit, such amendment or
such modification, as the case may be. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the
Administrative Agent shall notify each L/C Participant, in writing, of such
issuance, amendment or modification and if any L/C Participant shall so request,
the Administrative Agent shall furnish said L/C Participant with a copy of such
Standby Letter of Credit, such amendment or such modification, as the case may
be.

                  (f)      Each Issuing Lender (other than DBAG) shall deliver
to the Administrative Agent, promptly on the first Business Day of each week, by
facsimile transmis-

                                      -37-

sion, the aggregate daily Stated Amount available to be drawn under the
outstanding Trade Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender for the
previous week.

                  (g)      The obligations of the L/C Participants to make
payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the respective Issuing
Lender with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it shall be irrevocable and
not subject to counterclaim, set-off or other defense or any other qualification
or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without
limitation, any of the following circumstances:

                  (i)      any lack of validity or enforceability of this
         Agreement or any of the Credit Documents;

                  (ii)     the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other
         right which any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries may have at any
         time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee
         of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may
         be acting), any Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Lender, any L/C
         Participant, or any other Person, whether in connection with this
         Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein
         or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction
         between any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries and the beneficiary
         named in any such Letter of Credit);

                  (iii)    any draft, certificate or any other document
         presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent,
         invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being
         untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

                  (iv)     the surrender or impairment of any security for the
         performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Credit
         Documents; or

                  (v)      the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default;

provided that the L/C Participants shall not be obligated to reimburse such
Issuing Lender for any wrongful payment made by such Issuing Lender under a
Letter of Credit issued by it as a result of deliberate acts or omissions
constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such Issuing
Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and
non-appealable decision). Any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Issuing
Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit shall not create for
such Issuing Lender any resulting liability to the L/C Participants or any other
Person unless such action is taken or omitted to be taken with gross negligence
or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a
final and non-appealable decision).

                  2A.05 Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings. (a) The
U.S. Borrower hereby agrees (in the case of U.S. Borrower Dollar Facility
Letters of Credit), and the Bermuda Borrower hereby agrees (in the case of
Multicurrency Facility Letters of Credit and Bermuda Borrower Dollar Facility
Letters of Credit), to reimburse the respective Issuing Lender, by making
payment in Dollars (in the case of all Dollar Denominated Letters of Credit or,
after a Sharing Event, all Letters of Credit) or Euros (in the case of Euro
Denominated Letters of Credit at any time prior to a Sharing Event) to the
Administrative Agent in immediately available funds

at such location as may otherwise have been agreed upon by the respective
Account Party and such Issuing Lender), for any payment or disbursement (in the
case of any such payment or disbursement under any Euro Denominated Letter of
Credit which is unpaid on the date of the occurrence of a Sharing Event, or
which payments or disbursements are made thereafter, taking the Dollar
Equivalent of the amount of the respective payment or disbursement made in Euros
as such Dollar Equivalent is determined on the first date upon which the
respective Sharing Event occurs or, if later, the date upon which the respective
payment or disbursement is made) made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of
Credit issued by it (each such amount so paid until reimbursed, an "Unpaid
Drawing"), not later than the third Business Day after the Administrative Agent
or the Issuing Lender notifies the respective Borrower of such payment or
disbursement, with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by such Issuing
Lender, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York time), on the
date of such payment or disbursement, from and including the date paid or
disbursed to but excluding the date such Issuing Lender is reimbursed by the
U.S. Borrower or the Bermuda Borrower, as the case may be, therefor at a rate
per annum which shall be (x) in the case of Dollar Denominated Letters of Credit
and other amounts owing in Dollars after the occurrence of a Sharing Event, the
Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for
Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loans (in the case of Multicurrency Facility
Letters of Credit) or Dollar Facility Revolving Loans (in the case of Dollar
Facility Letters of Credit) in each case maintained as Base Rate Loans, as in
effect from time to time and (y) in the case of Euro Denominated Letters of
Credit for periods occurring prior to the occurrence of a Sharing Event, the
Overnight Euro Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for
Euro Denominated Revolving Loans as in effect from time to time plus any
Mandatory Costs, provided, however, to the extent such amounts are not
reimbursed prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the third Business Day
following notice to the respective Account Party by the Administrative Agent or
the respective Issuing Lender of such payment or disbursement, interest shall
thereafter accrue on the amounts so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender
(and until reimbursed by the respective Account Party) at a rate per annum which
shall be (x) in the case of Dollar Denominated Letters of Credit and other
amounts owing in Dollars after the occurrence of a Sharing Event, the Base Rate
in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for Multicurrency
Facility Revolving Loans (in the case of Multicurrency Facility Letters of
Credit) or Dollar Facility Revolving Loans (in the case of Dollar Facility

time to time plus 2% and (y) in the case of Euro Denominated Letters of Credit
for periods occurring prior to the occurrence of a Sharing Event, the Overnight
Euro Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for Euro
Denominated Revolving Loans as in effect from time to time plus any Mandatory
Costs plus 2%, in each such case, with interest to be payable on demand,
provided further, that it is understood and agreed, however, that the notices
referred to above in this clause (a) and in the immediately preceding proviso
shall not be required to be given if a Default or an Event of Default under
Section 10.05 shall have occurred and be continuing (in which case the Unpaid
Drawings shall be due and payable immediately without presentment, demand,
protest or notice of any kind (all of which are hereby waived by each Credit
Party) and shall bear interest at the rate provided in the foregoing proviso on
and after the third Business Day following the respective Drawing). The
respective Issuing Lender shall give the respective Account Party prompt notice
of each Drawing under any Letter of Credit,

                                      -39-

<PAGE>

provided that the failure to give, or any delay in giving, any such notice shall
in no way affect, impair or diminish the respective Account Party's obligations
under this Agreement.

                  (b)      The obligations of the U.S. Borrower (with respect to
U.S. Borrower Dollar Facility Letters of Credit) and the obligations of the
Bermuda Borrower (with respect to Multicurrency Facility letters of Credit and
Bermuda Borrower Dollar Facility Letters of Credit) under this Section 2A.05 to
reimburse the respective Issuing Lender with respect to Unpaid Drawings
(including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute and unconditional
under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or
defense to payment which the respective Account Party may have or have had
against any Lender (including in its capacity as Issuing Lender or as L/C
Participant), including, without limitation, any defense based upon the failure
of any drawing under a Letter of Credit (each, a "Drawing") to conform to the
terms of such Letter of Credit or any nonapplication or misapplication by the
beneficiary of the proceeds of such Drawing, the respective Issuing Lender's
only obligation to the respective Account Party being to confirm that any
documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have
been delivered and that they appear to substantially comply on their face with
requirements of such Letter of Credit; provided, however, that no Account Party
shall be obligated to reimburse any Issuing Lender for any wrongful payment made
by such Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit issued by it as a result of
deliberate acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence
on the part of such Issuing Lender (as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). Any action taken or
omitted to be taken by any Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter
of Credit shall not create for such Issuing Lender any resulting liability to
any Account Party unless such action is taken or admitted to be taken with gross
negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

                  2A.06 Increased Costs. If after the Effective Date, any
Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant determines in good faith that the adoption
or effectiveness after the Effective Date of any applicable law, rule or
regulation, order, guideline or request or any change therein, or any change
after the Effective Date in the interpretation or administration thereof by any
governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Issuing Lender or
any L/C Participant with any request or directive (whether or not having the
force of law) by any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall
either (i) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital
adequacy or similar requirement against Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing
Lender or such L/C Participant's participation therein, or (ii) impose on any
Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant any other conditions directly or
indirectly affecting this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or such L/C
Participant's participation therein; and the result of any of the foregoing is
to increase the cost to such Issuing Lender or such L/C Participant of issuing,
maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of
any sum received or receivable by such Issuing Lender or such L/C Participant
hereunder or reduce the rate of return on its capital with respect to Letters of
Credit, then, upon written demand to the U.S. Borrower or the Bermuda Borrower,
as the case may be, by such Issuing Lender or such L/C Participant (a copy of
which notice shall be sent by such Issuing Lender or such L/C Participant to the
Administrative Agent), accompanied by the certificate described in the last
sentence of this Section 2A.06, the U.S. Borrower or the Bermuda Borrower, as
the case may be, shall pay to such Issuing Lender or such L/C Participant for
such increased cost or reduction. A certificate

                                      -40-

<PAGE>

submitted to the relevant Borrower by such Issuing Lender or such L/C
Participant, as the case may be (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by
such Issuing Lender or such L/C Participant to the Administrative Agent),
setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the determination of such
additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Issuing Lender or such
L/C Participant as aforesaid shall be final and conclusive and binding on such
Borrower absent manifest error, although the failure to deliver any such
certificate shall not release or diminish such Borrower's obligations to pay
additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2A.06 upon subsequent receipt of
such certificate.

                  SECTION 2B. Bank Guaranties.

                  2B.01 Bank Guaranties. (a) Subject to and upon the terms and
conditions herein set forth, a Borrower may request a Bank Guaranty Issuer, at
any time and from time to time on and after the Initial Borrowing Date and prior
to the tenth Business Day preceding the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, to issue,
for the account of the Bermuda Borrower and for the benefit of any holder (or
any trustee, agent or other similar representative for any such holders) of B/G
Supportable Indebtedness of the Bermuda Borrower or any other Foreign Subsidiary
of the U.S. Borrower, a bank guaranty in a form customarily used by such Bank
Guaranty Issuer or in such other form as has been approved by such Bank Guaranty
Issuer (each such bank guaranty, a "Bank Guaranty" and collectively, the "Bank
Guaranties") in support of such B/G Supportable Indebtedness (it being
understood and agreed that (i) the form of Bank Guaranties shall be subject to
the respective Bank Guaranty Issuer's internal policies and procedures for the
issuance of bank guaranties and to applicable local law restrictions and
regulations and (ii) each Bank Guaranty Issuer may request the Bermuda Borrower
to accept such Bank Guaranty Issuer's general business conditions specifically
applicable to its bank guaranty business prior to the issuance of any Bank
Guaranty). Each Bank Guaranty shall constitute a utilization of the
Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loan Commitments and shall, subject to the
provisions of Section 1.14 if a Sharing Event occurs, be participated in (as
more fully described in following Section 2B.04(a)) by the Multicurrency
Facility RL Lenders in accordance with their respective Multicurrency Facility
RL Percentages. All Bank Guaranties shall be denominated in Dollars or Euros and
shall expressly provide the maximum amount that may be paid thereunder.

                  (b)      Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set
forth herein, each Bank Guaranty Issuer hereby agrees that it will, at any time
and from time to time on and after the Initial Borrowing Date and prior to the
tenth Business Day preceding the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, following its
receipt of the respective Bank Guaranty Request, issue for the account of the
Bermuda Borrower one or more Bank Guaranties, in support of such B/G Supportable
Indebtedness as is permitted to remain outstanding without giving rise to a
Default or Event of Default hereunder; provided that the respective Bank
Guaranty Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue any Bank Guaranty if at
the time of such issuance:

                  (i)      any order, judgment or decree of any governmental
         authority or arbitrator shall purport by its terms to enjoin or
         restrain such Bank Guaranty Issuer from issuing such Bank Guaranty or
         any requirement of law applicable to such Bank Guaranty Issuer or any
         request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any
         governmental authority with jurisdiction over such Bank Guaranty Issuer
         shall prohibit, or request that such Bank Guaranty Issuer refrain from,
         the issuance of bank guaranties

                                      -41-

<PAGE>

         generally or such Bank Guaranty in particular or shall impose upon such
         Bank Guaranty Issuer with respect to such Bank Guaranty any restriction
         or reserve or capital requirement (for which such Bank Guaranty Issuer
         is not otherwise compensated) not in effect on the date hereof, or any
         unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable, in effect
         or known to such Bank Guaranty Issuer as of the date hereof and which
         such Bank Guaranty Issuer in good faith deems material to it;

                  (ii)     such Bank Guaranty Issuer shall have received written
         notice from any Credit Agreement Party or the Required Lenders prior to
         the issuance of such Bank Guaranty of the type described in clause
         (viii) of Section 2B.01(c) or the last sentence of Section 2B.03(b); or

                  (iii)    a Lender Default exists with respect to any RL
         Lender, unless the Bank Guaranty Issuer has entered into arrangements
         satisfactory to it and the Bermuda Borrower to eliminate such Bank
         Guaranty Issuer's risk with respect to the Lender which is the subject
         of the Lender Default, including by cash collateralizing (in Dollars or
         Euros, as appropriate) such Lender's Multicurrency Facility RL
         Percentage of the Bank Guaranty Outstandings.

                  (c)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Bank Guaranty
shall be issued the Face Amount of which, when added to the sum of (x) the Bank
Guaranty Outstandings (exclusive of Unreimbursed Payments which are repaid on
the date of, and prior to the issuance of, the respective Bank Guaranty) at such
time and (y) the Multicurrency Facility Letter of Credit Outstandings (exclusive
of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid on the date of, and prior to the issuance
of, the respective Multicurrency Facility Bank Guaranty) at such time, would
exceed $100,000,000, (ii) no Bank Guaranty shall be issued at any time when the
Aggregate Multicurrency Facility RL Exposure exceeds (or would after giving
effect to such issuance exceed) the Total Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loan
Commitment at such time, (iii) each Bank Guaranty shall by its terms terminate
on or before the date which occurs 12 months after the date of the issuance
thereof (although any such Bank Guaranty may be extendable for successive
periods of up to 12 months, but not beyond the tenth Business Day preceding the
Revolving Loan Maturity Date, on terms acceptable to the Bank Guaranty Issuer
thereof), provided, however, that a Bank Guaranty shall not be required to
terminate by its terms on or before the twelve month anniversary of the date of
issuance thereof if the Bermuda Borrower reasonably determines that the intended
beneficiary of such Bank Guaranty will not permit same to terminate as otherwise
provided above, (iv) no Bank Guaranty shall have an expiry date occurring later
than the tenth Business Day preceding the Revolving Loan Maturity Date,
provided, however, that a Bank Guaranty shall not be required to have an expiry
date as otherwise required above if the Bermuda Borrower reasonably determines
that the beneficiary of such Bank Guaranty will not accept a Bank Guaranty with
an expiry date, (v) each Bank Guaranty shall be denominated in Euros or Dollars
and (vi) no Bank Guaranty Issuer will issue any Bank Guaranty after it has
received written notice from any Credit Agreement Party or the Required Lenders
stating that a Default or an Event of Default exists until such time as such
Bank Guaranty Issuer shall have received a written notice of (x) rescission of
such notice from the party or parties originally delivering the same or (y) a
waiver of such Default or Event of Default by the Required Lenders.

                                      -42-

<PAGE>

                  (d)      Part B of Schedule XI hereto contains a description
of certain bank guaranties issued pursuant to certain existing bank guaranty
agreements and outstanding on the Effective Date (and setting forth, with
respect to each such bank guaranty, (i) the name of the bank guaranty issuer,
(ii) the face amount (including the currency in which such bank guaranty is
denominated, which shall be Dollars or Euros), (iii) the name of the
beneficiary, and (iv) the expiry date (if any)). Each such bank guaranty,
including any extension or renewal thereof (each, as amended from time to time
in accordance with the terms thereof and hereof, an "Existing Bank Guaranty")
shall constitute a "Bank Guaranty" for all purposes of this Agreement, issued,
for purposes of Section 2B.04(a), on the Initial Borrowing Date. Any Lender
hereunder (and any of such Lender's Affiliates and/or branches) which has issued
an Existing Bank Guaranty shall constitute a "Bank Guaranty Issuer" for all
purposes of this Agreement.

                  2B.02 Minimum Face Amount. The Face Amount of each Bank
Guaranty upon issuance shall be not less than (x) in the case of a Dollar
Denominated Bank Guaranty, $250,000 and (y) in the case of a Euro Denominated
Bank Guaranty, (euro)250,000, or in each case such lesser amount as is
acceptable to the respective Bank Guaranty Issuer.

                  2B.03 Bank Guaranty Requests. (a) Whenever the Bermuda
Borrower desires that a Bank Guaranty be issued for its account, the Bermuda
Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent (at the appropriate Notice Office)
and the respective Bank Guaranty Issuer at least 3 days' (or such shorter period
as is acceptable to such Bank Guaranty Issuer in any given case) written notice
prior to the proposed date of issuance (which shall be a Business Day). Each
notice shall be in the form of Exhibit C-2 (each, a "Bank Guaranty Request"),
including without limitation by specifying the Available Currency in which the
requested Bank Guaranty is to be denominated. Each Bank Guaranty Request shall
include any other documents as such Bank Guaranty Issuer customarily requires in
connection therewith.

                  (b)      The making of each Bank Guaranty Request shall be
deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Bermuda Borrower that such
Bank Guaranty may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the
requirements of, Section 2B.01(c). Unless the respective Bank Guaranty Issuer
has received notice from the Required Lenders before it issues a Bank Guaranty
that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5 or 6, as
the case may be, are not then satisfied, or that the issuance of such Bank
Guaranty would violate Section 2B.01(c), then such Bank Guaranty Issuer may
issue the requested Bank Guaranty for the account of the Bermuda Borrower in
accordance with such Bank Guaranty Issuer's usual and customary practices.

                  2B.04 Bank Guaranty Participations

                  (a)      Immediately upon the issuance by any Bank Guaranty
Issuer of any Bank Guaranty, such Bank Guaranty Issuer shall be deemed to have
sold and transferred to each Multicurrency Facility RL Lender (each such Lender
with respect to any Bank Guaranty, in its capacity under this Section 2B.04, a
"B/G Participant"), and each such B/G Participant shall be deemed irrevocably
and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Bank Guaranty
Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation,
in a percentage equal to such B/G Participant's Multicurrency Facility RL
Percentage, in such Bank Guaranty, each Bank Guaranty Payment made thereunder
and the obligations of the Bermuda

Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto (although Bank Guaranty Fees
shall be payable directly to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Multicurrency Facility RL Lenders as provided in Section 3.01(e) and the B/G
Participants shall have no right to receive any portion of any administrative
fees with respect to any such Bank Guaranties) and any security therefor or
guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the Multicurrency Facility
Revolving Loan Commitments and, as a result thereof the Multicurrency Facility
RL Percentages, of the Multicurrency Facility RL Lenders pursuant to Section
1.13 or 13.04, it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Bank
Guaranties and Unreimbursed Payments relating thereto, there shall be an
automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 2B.04 to
reflect the new Multicurrency Facility RL Percentages of the Multicurrency
Facility RL Lenders. With respect to each Bank Guaranty from time to time
outstanding, the percentage participations therein of the various Multicurrency
Facility RL Lenders calculated as provided above in this Section 2B.04(a) are
herein called the "B/G Participation Percentages" of the various Multicurrency
Facility RL Lenders in such Bank Guaranties. All calculations of the B/G
Participation Percentages shall be made from time to time by the Administrative
Agent, which calculations shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In addition
to the adjustments contemplated above, upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event,
in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.14(d), the "B/G Participation
Percentages" of the RL Lenders shall be adjusted, so that each RL Lender shall
participate in each outstanding Bank Guaranty in accordance with its RL
Percentage, in each case as more fully described in Section 1.14(d). In any
instance described in the immediately preceding sentence, each RL Lender shall
be a B/G Participant with respect to each Bank Guaranty and its B/G
Participation Percentage in each Bank Guaranty shall be determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with the relevant provisions of Section
1.14(d). Furthermore, upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event and as more fully
set forth in Section 1.14, additional sub-participations may be required to be
granted by the various RL Lenders in their participations in outstanding Bank
Guaranties, in each case in accordance with, and subject to the provisions of,
Section 1.14.

                  (b)      In determining whether to pay under any Bank
Guaranty, the respective Bank Guaranty Issuer shall have no obligation relative
to the other Lenders other than to confirm that any documents required to be
delivered under such Bank Guaranty appear to have been delivered and that they
appear to substantially comply on their face with the requirements of such Bank
Guaranty. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Bank Guaranty Issuer
under or in connection with any Bank Guaranty issued by it if taken or omitted
in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision), shall
not create for such Bank Guaranty Issuer any resulting liability to the Bermuda
Borrower or any Lender.

                  (c)      In the event that any Bank Guaranty Issuer makes any
payment or disbursement under any Bank Guaranty issued by it and the Bermuda
Borrower shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such Bank Guaranty
Issuer pursuant to Section 2B.05(a), such Bank Guaranty Issuer shall promptly
notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each B/G
Participant therein (i.e., (A) if no Sharing Event has occurred, the
Multicurrency Facility RL Lenders or (B) a Sharing Event has occurred, each RL
Lender) of such failure, and each B/G Participant therein shall promptly and
unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank
Guaranty Issuer the amount of such B/G Participant's B/G Participation
Percentage (as relates to the respective Bank Guaranty) of the respective

                                      -44-

<PAGE>

Unreimbursed Payment (with the amount thereof and the currency in which same is
owing to be calculated in accordance with the provisions of Section 2B.05(a)) in
Dollars (or, to the extent the respective Unreimbursed Payment is, in accordance
with Section 2B.05(a), to be reimbursed by the Bermuda Borrower in Euros, Euros)
and in same day funds. If the Administrative Agent so notifies, prior to 11:00
A.M. (New York time) on any Business Day, any B/G Participant required to fund
an Unreimbursed Payment under a Bank Guaranty, such B/G Participant shall make
available to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office for the account of
the respective Bank Guaranty Issuer, in Dollars (or in Euros to the extent the
respective Unreimbursed Payment is required to be paid by the Bermuda Borrower
in Euros, as the case may be, pursuant to the provisions of Section 2B.05(a)),
such B/G Participant's B/G Participation Percentage (as relates to the
respective Bank Guaranty) of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in
same day funds. If and to the extent that, for any reason, such B/G Participant
shall not have made its B/G Participation Percentage of the amount of such
payment available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the respective
Bank Guaranty Issuer, such B/G Participant agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of such Bank Guaranty Issuer, forthwith on demand such
amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date the
respective Unreimbursed Payment occurred until the date such amount is paid to
the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank Guaranty Issuer at the
overnight Federal Funds Rate (or, in the case of amounts owed in Euros, at the
Overnight Euro Rate), provided that if any B/G Participant does not make
available to the Administrative Agent any amounts required to be made available
by it as described above within 2 Business Days after the respective B/G
Participant has been notified by the Administrative Agent or the respective Bank
Guaranty Issuer to make such amounts available, then the respective B/G
Participant shall pay interest on the amounts demanded of it at the same rates
payable from time to time by the respective Account Party on the respective
Unreimbursed Payments pursuant to Section 2B.05(a). The failure of any B/G
Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
respective Bank Guaranty Issuer its relevant B/G Participation Percentage of any
payment under any Bank Guaranty issued by it shall not relieve any other B/G
Participant in the respective Bank Guaranty of its obligation hereunder to make
available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank Guaranty
Issuer its B/G Participation Percentage of any such Bank Guaranty on the date
required, as specified above, but no B/G Participant shall be responsible for
the failure of any other B/G Participant to make available to the Administrative
Agent for the account of such Bank Guaranty Issuer such other B/G Participant's
B/G Participation Percentage of any such payment.

                  (d)      Whenever any Bank Guaranty Issuer receives a payment
of a reimbursement obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received
for the account of such Bank Guaranty Issuer any payments from the B/G
Participants pursuant to clause (c) above, such Bank Guaranty Issuer shall pay
to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay each
B/G Participant which has paid its B/G Participation Percentage thereof, in
Dollars (or in Euros in the case of payments to be made in Euros pursuant to
Section 2B.05(a)) and in same day funds, an amount equal to such B/G
Participant's share (based on the proportionate aggregate amount funded by such
B/G Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all B/G Participants) of the
principal amount of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon accruing
after the purchase of the respective participations.

                  (e)      Each Bank Guaranty Issuer shall, promptly after the
issuance of, or amendment or modification to, a Bank Guaranty, give the
Administrative Agent and the Bermuda Borrower written notice of such issuance,
amendment or modification, as the case may be, and such notice shall be
accompanied by a copy of such Bank Guaranty, such amendment or such
modification, as the case may be. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the
Administrative Agent shall notify each B/G Participant, in writing, of such
issuance, amendment or modification and if any B/G Participant shall so request,
the Administrative Agent shall furnish said B/G Participant with a copy of such
Bank Guaranty, such amendment or such modification, as the case may be. Each
Bank Guaranty Issuer shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, promptly on the
first Business Day of each week, by facsimile transmission, the aggregate daily
Face Amount available to be drawn under each outstanding Bank Guaranty issued by
such Bank Guaranty Issuer for the previous week.

                  (f)      The obligations of the B/G Participants to make
payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the respective Bank
Guaranty Issuer with respect to Bank Guaranties issued by it shall be
irrevocable and not subject to counterclaim, set-off or other defense or any
other qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with
the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including,
without limitation, any of the following circumstances:

                  (i)      any lack of validity or enforceability of this
         Agreement or any of the Credit Documents;

                  (ii)     the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other
         right which any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries may have at any
         time against a beneficiary named in a Bank Guaranty, any transferee of
         any Bank Guaranty (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be
         acting), any Agent, any Lender, any Bank Guaranty Issuer, any B/G
         Participant, or any other Person, whether in connection with this
         Agreement, any Bank Guaranty, the transactions contemplated herein or
         any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction
         between any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries and the beneficiary
         named in any such Bank Guaranty);

                  (iii)    any draft, certificate or any other document
         presented under any Bank Guaranty proving to be forged, fraudulent,
         invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being
         untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

                  (iv)     the surrender or impairment of any security for the
         performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Credit
         Documents; or

                  (v)      the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default;

provided that the B/G Participants shall not be obligated to reimburse such Bank
Guaranty Issuer for any wrongful payment made by such Bank Guaranty Issuer under
a Bank Guaranty issued by it as a result of deliberate acts or omissions
constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such Bank
Guaranty Issuer (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final
and non-appealable decision). Any action taken or omitted to be taken by any
Bank Guaranty Issuer under or in connection with any Bank Guaranty shall not
create for such Bank

                                      -46-

Guaranty Issuer any resulting liability to the B/G Participants or any other
Person unless such action is taken or omitted to be taken with gross negligence
or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a
final and non-appealable decision).

                  2B.05 Agreement to Repay Bank Guaranty Payments

                  (a)      The Bermuda Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse the
respective Bank Guaranty Issuer, by making payment in Dollars (in the case of
all Dollar Denominated Bank Guaranties or, after a Sharing Event, all Bank
Guaranties) or Euros (in the case of Euro Denominated Bank Guaranties at any
time prior to a Sharing Event) to the Administrative Agent in immediately
available funds at the Payment Office (or by making the payment directly to such
Bank Guaranty Issuer at such location as may otherwise have been agreed upon by
the Bermuda Borrower and such Bank Guaranty Issuer), for any payment or
disbursement (in the case of any such payment or disbursement under any Euro
Denominated Bank Guaranty which is unpaid on the date of the occurrence of a
Sharing Event, or which payments or disbursements are made thereafter, taking
the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the respective payment or disbursement
made in Euros as such Dollar Equivalent is determined on the first date upon
which the respective Sharing Event occurs or, if later, the date upon which the
respective payment or disbursement is made) made by such Bank Guaranty Issuer
under any Bank Guaranty issued by it (each such amount so paid until reimbursed,
an "Unreimbursed Payment"), not later than the third Business Day after the
Administrative Agent or the Bank Guaranty Issuer notifies the respective
Borrower of such payment or disbursement, with interest on the amount so paid or
disbursed by such Bank Guaranty Issuer, to the extent not reimbursed prior to
1:00 P.M. (New York time), on the date of such payment or disbursement, from and
including the date paid or disbursed to but excluding the date such Bank
Guaranty Issuer is reimbursed by the Bermuda Borrower therefor at a rate per
annum which shall be (x) in the case of Euro Denominated Bank Guaranties for
periods occurring prior to the occurrence of a Sharing Event, the Overnight Euro
Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for Euro Denominated
Revolving Loans as in effect from time to time plus any Mandatory Costs and (y)
in the case of amounts owing in Dollars after the occurrence of a Sharing Event,
the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for
Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans, in each
case as in effect from time to time, provided, however, to the extent such
amounts are not reimbursed prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the third
Business Day following notice to the Bermuda Borrower by the Administrative
Agent or the respective Bank Guaranty Issuer of such payment or disbursement,
interest shall thereafter accrue on the amounts so paid or disbursed by such
Bank Guaranty Issuer (and until reimbursed by the Bermuda Borrower) at a rate
per annum which shall be (x) in the case of Euro Denominated Bank Guaranties for
periods occurring prior to the occurrence of a Sharing Event, the Overnight Euro
Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for Euro Denominated
Revolving Loans as in effect from time to time plus any Mandatory Costs plus 2%
and (y) in the case of amounts owing in Dollars after the occurrence of a
Sharing Event, the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable
Margin for Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans
as in effect from time to time plus 2%, in each such case, with interest to be
payable on demand, provided further, that it is understood and agreed, however,
that the notices referred to above in this clause (a) and in the immediately
preceding proviso shall not be required to be given if a Default or an Event of
Default under Section 10.05 shall have occurred and be continuing (in which case
the Unreimbursed Payments shall be due and payable immediately

                                      -47-

<PAGE>

without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind (all of which are
hereby waived by each Credit Party) and shall bear interest at the rate provided
in the foregoing proviso on and after the third Business Day following the
respective Bank Guaranty Payment). The respective Bank Guaranty Issuer shall
give the Bermuda Borrower prompt notice of each Bank Guaranty Payment under any
Bank Guaranty, provided that the failure to give, or any delay in giving, any
such notice shall in no way affect, impair or diminish the Bermuda Borrower's
obligations under this Agreement.

                  (b)      The obligations of the Bermuda Borrower under this
Section 2B.05 to reimburse the respective Bank Guaranty Issuer with respect to
Unreimbursed Payments (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be
absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of
any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Bermuda Borrower may
have or have had against any Lender (including in its capacity as Bank Guaranty
Issuer or as B/G Participant), including, without limitation, any defense based
upon the failure of any payment under a Bank Guaranty (each, a "Bank Guaranty
Payment") to conform to the terms of such Bank Guaranty or any nonapplication or
misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Bank Guaranty Payment,
the respective Bank Guaranty Issuer's only obligation to the Bermuda Borrower
being to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Bank
Guaranty appear to have been delivered and that they appear to substantially
comply on their face with requirements of such Bank Guaranty; provided, however,
that the Bermuda Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse any Bank Guaranty
Issuer for any wrongful payment made by such Bank Guaranty Issuer under a Bank
Guaranty issued by it as a result of deliberate acts or omissions constituting
willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such Bank Guaranty Issuer
(as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and
non-appealable decision). Any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Bank
Guaranty Issuer under or in connection with any Bank Guaranty shall not create
for such Bank Guaranty Issuer any resulting liability to the Bermuda Borrower
unless such action is taken or admitted to be taken with gross negligence or
willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a
final and non-appealable decision).

                  2B.06 Increased Costs

                  . If after the Effective Date, any Bank Guaranty Issuer or any
B/G Participant determines in good faith that the adoption or effectiveness
after the Effective Date of any applicable law, rule or regulation, order,
guideline or request or any change therein, or any change after the Effective
Date in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental
authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank Guaranty Issuer or any B/G
Participant with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of
law) by any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall either (i)
impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or
similar requirement against Bank Guaranties issued by such Bank Guaranty Issuer
or such B/G Participant's participation therein, or (ii) impose on any Bank
Guaranty Issuer or any B/G Participant any other conditions directly or
indirectly affecting this Agreement, any Bank Guaranty or such B/G Participant's
participation therein; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the
cost to such Bank Guaranty Issuer or such B/G Participant of issuing,
maintaining or participating in any Bank Guaranty, or to reduce the amount of
any sum received or receivable by such Bank Guaranty Issuer or such B/G
Participant hereunder or reduce the rate

                                      -48-

<PAGE>

of return on its capital with respect to Bank Guaranties, then, upon written
demand to the Bermuda Borrower by such Bank Guaranty Issuer or such B/G
Participant (a copy of which notice shall be sent by such Bank Guaranty Issuer
or such B/G Participant to the Administrative Agent), accompanied by the
certificate described in the last sentence of this Section 2B.06, the Bermuda
Borrower shall pay to such Bank Guaranty Issuer or such B/G Participant for such
increased cost or reduction. A certificate submitted to the relevant Borrower by
such Bank Guaranty Issuer or such B/G Participant, as the case may be (a copy of
which certificate shall be sent by such Bank Guaranty Issuer or such B/G
Participant to the Administrative Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail the
basis for the determination of such additional amount or amounts necessary to
compensate such Bank Guaranty Issuer or such B/G Participant as aforesaid shall
be final and conclusive and binding on the Bermuda Borrower absent manifest
error, although the failure to deliver any such certificate shall not release or
diminish such Borrower's obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this
Section 2B.06 upon subsequent receipt of such certificate.

                  2B.07 Cash Collateralization

                  . No later than the date occurring ten Business Days prior to
the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, the Bermuda Borrower shall either (i)
terminate each Bank Guaranty without an expiry date (and cause each such
terminated Bank Guaranty to be surrendered for termination to the respective
Bank Guaranty Issuer) or (ii) enter into cash collateral arrangements with each
Bank Guaranty Issuer which shall have issued a Bank Guaranty without an expiry
date on terms satisfactory to such Bank Guaranty Issuer and the Administrative
Agent, with the Bermuda Borrower depositing cash and/or Cash Equivalents (in the
respective currency or currencies of the respective Bank Guaranties, and in such
amounts as will fully cash collateralize the maximum future payments that could
be made under the respective Bank Guaranties) pursuant to such cash collateral
arrangements to be held as security for all Bank Guaranty Outstandings in
respect of such Bank Guaranties.

                  SECTION 3. Fees; Commitments.

                  3.01 Fees. (a) (x) The Bermuda Borrower agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent for distribution to each Non-Defaulting Lender with a
Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loan Commitment a commitment commission, in
Dollars, for the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Revolving
Loan Maturity Date (or such earlier date as the Total Multicurrency Facility
Revolving Loan Commitment shall have been terminated), computed at a rate equal
to the Applicable Multicurrency Facility Commitment Fee Percentage per annum on
the daily average Unutilized Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loan Commitment of
such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect from time to time and (y) the Borrowers
jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for distribution
to each Non-Defaulting Lender with a Dollar Facility Revolving Loan Commitment a
commitment commission, in Dollars, for the period from the Effective Date to but
excluding the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (or such earlier date as the Total
Dollar Facility Revolving Loan Commitment shall have been terminated), computed
at a rate equal to the Applicable Dollar Facility Commitment Fee Percentage per
annum on the daily average Unutilized Dollar Facility Revolving Loan Commitment
of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect from time to time (with all
commitment commissions payable as described in this clause (a) being herein
referred to as "RL Commitment

                                      -49-

<PAGE>

Commission"). Accrued RL Commitment Commission shall be due and payable, in
Dollars, quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the
Revolving Loan Maturity Date or (i) in the case of RL Commitment Commission
payable pursuant to preceding clause (x), such earlier date upon which the Total
Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loan Commitment is terminated and (ii) in the
case of RL Commitment Commission payable pursuant to preceding clause (y), such
earlier date upon which the Total Dollar Facility Revolving Loan Commitment is
terminated.

                  (b)      (x) The Bermuda Borrower agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent for distribution to each Multicurrency Facility RL Lender
(or, after Sharing Event has occurred, each RL Lender) (based on their
respective L/C Participation Percentages as from time to time in effect in the
outstanding Multicurrency Facility Letters of Credit) in Dollars (or, in the
case of Euro Denominated Letters of Credit, for periods prior to the occurrence
of a Sharing Event, in Euros) a fee in respect of each Multicurrency Facility
Letter of Credit issued hereunder, (y) the Bermuda Borrower agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent for distribution to each Dollar Facility RL Lender (or,
after Sharing Event has occurred, each RL Lender) (based on their respective L/C
Participation Percentages in the outstanding Bermuda Borrower Dollar Facility
Letters of Credit) in Dollars a fee in respect of each Bermuda Borrower Dollar
Facility Letter of Credit issued hereunder and (z) the U.S. Borrower agrees to
pay to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Dollar Facility RL
Lender (or, after Sharing Event has occurred, each RL Lender) (based on their
respective L/C Participation Percentages in the outstanding U.S. Borrower Dollar
Facility Letters of Credit) in Dollars a fee in respect of each U.S. Borrower
Dollar Facility Letter of Credit issued hereunder (with all fees payable as
described in this clause (b) being herein referred to as "Letter of Credit
Fees"), in each case, for the period from and including the date of issuance of
such Letter of Credit through the termination of such Letter of Credit, computed
at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Multicurrency Facility
Revolving Loans (in the case of determinations pursuant to preceding clause (x))
or Dollar Facility Revolving Loans (in the case of determination pursuant to
preceding clauses (y) and (z)), in either case maintained as Euro Rate Loans, as
in effect from time to time, on (i) the daily Stated Amount of such Letter of
Credit (in the case of a Dollar Denominated Letter of Credit and, for periods
occurring after a Sharing Event, for all Letters of Credit) and (ii) the daily
Euro L/C Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit (in the case of a Euro
Denominated Letter of Credit for all periods prior to the occurrence of a
Sharing Event). Accrued Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable quarterly
in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and, in the case of Letter of Credit
Fees owing pursuant to preceding clause (x), on the first day on or after the
termination of the Total Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loan Commitment upon
which no Multicurrency Facility Letters of Credit remain outstanding and, in the
case of Letter of Credit Fees payable pursuant to preceding clauses (y) and (z),
on the first day on or after the termination of the Total Dollar Facility
Revolving Loan Commitment upon which no Dollar Facility Letters of Credit remain
outstanding.

                  (c)      Each Account Party agrees to pay to the respective
Issuing Lender, for its own account, in Dollars (in the case of each Dollar
Denominated Letter of Credit and, for all periods after the occurrence of a
Sharing Event, each Letter of Credit) or in Euros (in the case of Euro
Denominated Letters of Credit for periods prior to the occurrence of a Sharing
Event), a facing fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued hereunder (the
"Facing Fee") for the period from and including the date of issuance of such
Letter of Credit to and including the termination

                                      -50-

<PAGE>

or expiration of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate equal to 1/4 of 1%
per annum of (x) the daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit (in the case
of a Dollar Denominated Letter of Credit, and, for all periods occurring after a
Sharing Event, all Letters of Credit) and (y) the daily Euro L/C Stated Amount
of such Letter of Credit (in the case of a Euro Denominated Letter of Credit at
any time prior to a Sharing Event), provided that in no event shall the annual
Facing Fee with respect to any Letter of Credit be less than the Minimum
Applicable Facing Fee; it being agreed that (i) on the date of issuance of any
Letter of Credit and on each anniversary thereof prior to the termination of
such Letter of Credit, if the Minimum Applicable Facing Fee will exceed the
amount of Facing Fees that will accrue with respect to such Letter of Credit for
the immediately succeeding 12-month period, the full Minimum Applicable Facing
Fee shall be payable on the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit and on
each such anniversary thereof prior to the termination of such Letter of Credit
and (ii) if on the date of the termination of any Letter of Credit, the Minimum
Applicable Facing Fee actually exceeds the amount of Facing Fees paid or payable
with respect to such Letter of Credit for the period beginning on the date of
the issuance thereof (or, if the respective Letter of Credit has been
outstanding for more than one year, the date of the last anniversary of the
issuance thereof occurring prior to the termination of such Letter of Credit)
and ending on the date of the termination thereof, an amount equal to such
excess shall be paid as additional Facing Fees with respect to such Letter of
Credit on the next date upon which Facing Fees are payable in accordance with
the immediately succeeding sentence. Except as provided in the immediately
preceding sentence, accrued Facing Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in
arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and upon the first day on or after the
termination of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment upon which no Letters of
Credit remain outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, to the extent that any Account Party has paid advance facing
fees to any Issuing Lender with respect to any Existing Letter of Credit under
the letter of credit agreement governing the same, there shall be credited
against the Facing Fees due to such Issuing Lender under this Agreement the
amount of such advance facing fees which related to periods after the Initial
Borrowing Date.

                  (d)      The respective Account Party agrees to pay to the
respective Issuing Lender, in Dollars, for its own account, upon each payment
under, issuance of, or amendment to, any Letter of Credit, such amount as shall
at the time of such event be the administrative charge which such Issuing Lender
is customarily charging for issuances of, payments under or amendments of,
Letters of Credit issued by it.

                  (e)      The Bermuda Borrower agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent for distribution to each Multicurrency Facility RL Lender
(or, after Sharing Event has occurred, each RL Lender) (based on their
respective B/G Participation Percentages as from time to time in effect in the
outstanding Bank Guaranties) in Dollars (or, in the case of Euro Denominated
Bank Guaranties, for periods prior to the occurrence of a Sharing Event, in
Euros) a fee in respect of each Bank Guaranty issued hereunder (with all fees
payable as described in this clause (e) being herein referred to as "Bank
Guaranty Fees"), in each case, for the period from and including the date of
issuance of such Bank Guaranty through the termination of such Bank Guaranty,
computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Multicurrency
Facility Revolving Loans maintained as Euro Rate Loans, as in effect from time
to time, on (i) the daily Face Amount of such Bank Guaranty (in the case of a

Face Amount of such Bank Guaranty (in the case of a Euro Denominated Bank
Guaranty for all periods prior to the occurrence of a Sharing Event). Accrued
Bank Guaranty Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each
Quarterly Payment Date and on the first day on or after the termination of the
Total Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loan Commitment upon which no Bank
Guaranties remain outstanding.

                  (f)      The Bermuda Borrower agrees to pay to the respective
Bank Guaranty Issuer, for its own account, in Dollars (in the case of each
Dollar Denominated Bank Guaranty and, for all periods after the occurrence of a
Sharing Event, each Bank Guaranty) or in Euros (in the case of each Euro
Denominated Bank Guaranty for periods prior to the occurrence of a Sharing
Event), a fronting fee in respect of each Bank Guaranty issued hereunder (the
"Fronting Fee") for the period from and including the date of issuance of such
Bank Guaranty to and including the termination or expiration of such Bank
Guaranty, computed at a rate equal to 1/4 of 1% per annum of (x) the daily Face
Amount of such Bank Guaranty (in the case of a Dollar Denominated Bank Guaranty,
and, for all periods occurring after a Sharing Event, all Bank Guaranties) and
(y) the daily Euro B/G Face Amount of such Bank Guaranty (in the case of a Euro
Denominated Bank Guaranty at any time prior to a Sharing Event), provided that
in no event shall the annual Fronting Fee with respect to any Bank Guaranty be
less than the Minimum Applicable Fronting Fee; it being agreed that (i) on the
date of issuance of any Bank Guaranty and on each anniversary thereof prior to
the termination of such Bank Guaranty, if the Minimum Applicable Fronting Fee
will exceed the amount of Fronting Fees that will accrue with respect to such
Bank Guaranty for the immediately succeeding 12-month period, the full Minimum
Applicable Fronting Fee shall be payable on the date of issuance of such Bank
Guaranty and on each such anniversary thereof prior to the termination of such
Bank Guaranty and (ii) if on the date of the termination of any Bank Guaranty,
the Minimum Applicable Fronting Fee actually exceeds the amount of Fronting Fees
paid or payable with respect to such Bank Guaranty for the period beginning on
the date of the issuance thereof (or, if the respective Bank Guaranty has been
outstanding for more than one year, the date of the last anniversary of the
issuance thereof occurring prior to the termination of such Bank Guaranty) and
ending on the date of the termination thereof, an amount equal to such excess
shall be paid as additional Fronting Fees with respect to such Bank Guaranty on
the next date upon which Fronting Fees are payable in accordance with the
immediately succeeding sentence. Except as provided in the immediately preceding
sentence, accrued Fronting Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on
each Quarterly Payment Date and upon the first day on or after the termination
of the Total Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loan Commitment upon which no Bank
Guaranties remain outstanding.

                  (g)      The Bermuda Borrower agrees to pay to the respective
Bank Guaranty Issuer, for its own account, upon each payment under, issuance of,
or amendment to, any Bank Guaranty, such amount as shall at the time of such
event be the administrative charge which such Bank Guaranty Issuer is
customarily charging for issuances of, payments under or amendments of, Bank
Guaranties issued by it.

                  (h)      Each Borrower agrees to pay to each Agent, for its
own account, such other fees as have been agreed to in writing by such Borrower
and the Agents.

                  (i)      All computations of Fees shall be made in accordance
with Section 13.07(b).

                  3.02 Voluntary Termination or Reduction of Revolving Loan
Commitments and Adjustments of Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loan
Commitments. (a) Upon at least three Business Days' prior notice from an
Authorized Officer of Holdings to the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office
(which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the
Lenders), Holdings shall have the right, at any time or from time to time,
without premium or penalty, to terminate the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan
Commitment at such time, in whole or in part, in aggregate minimum amounts of at
least $1,000,000 in the case of partial reductions, with the amount of each
reduction pursuant to this Section 3.02(a) to apply to reduce, on a pro rata
basis (based upon the relative amounts of the Total Multicurrency Facility
Revolving Loan Commitment and the Total Dollar Facility Revolving Loan
Commitment, in each case as in effect before giving effect to the respective
reduction), the Total Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loan Commitment and the
Total Dollar Facility Revolving Loan Commitment, provided that no such reduction
shall be permitted to be made pursuant to this Section 3.02(a) if the effect
thereof is to cause either (x) the Aggregate Multicurrency Facility RL Exposure
to exceed the Total Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loan Commitment after
giving effect to the reduction thereto pursuant to this Section 3.02(a) or (y)
the Aggregate Dollar Facility RL Exposure to exceed the Total Dollar Facility
Revolving Loan Commitment after giving effect to the reduction thereto pursuant
to this Section 3.02(a). Each reduction to (x) the Total Multicurrency Facility
Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to this Section 3.02(a) shall apply to
proportionately and permanently reduce the Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loan
Commitment of each Multicurrency Facility RL Lender (based on their respective
Multicurrency Facility RL Percentages) and (y) the Total Dollar Facility
Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to this Section 3.02(a) shall apply to
proportionally and permanently reduce the Dollar Facility Revolving Loan
Commitment of each Dollar Facility RL Lender (based on their respective Dollar
Facility RL Percentages).

                  (b)      In the event of certain refusals by a Lender as
provided in Section 4.01 or 13.12(b) to consent to certain proposed changes,
waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have
been approved by the Required Lenders, Holdings may, subject to the applicable
requirements of said Sections 4.01 and/or 13.12(b), upon five Business Days'
prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office (which
notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders)
terminate the Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loan Commitment, if any, and/or
the Dollar Facility Revolving Loan Commitment, if any, of such Lender, so long
as (x) all Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest, Fees and all other
amounts, owing to such Lender (excluding amounts owing in respect of Loans of
any Tranche maintained by such Lender which are not being repaid pursuant to
Section 13.12(b)) are repaid concurrently with the effectiveness of such
termination (at which time Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect such
changed amounts) and (y) after giving effect to such termination (and the
adjustments to the Multicurrency Facility RL Percentages, Dollar Facility RL
Percentages and/or related L/C Participation Percentages of the remaining
Lenders as contemplated below), neither the Individual Multicurrency Facility RL
Exposure nor the Individual Dollar Facility RL Exposure of any remaining Lender
shall exceed its Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loan Commitment or Dollar
Facility Revolving Loan Commitment, as the case may be. After giving effect to
the termination of the Commitments of

                                      -53-

<PAGE>

any Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.02(b), unless the
respective Lender continues to have outstanding Term Loans or other Commitments
(if any) hereunder, such Lender shall no longer constitute a "Lender" for
purposes of this Agreement, except with respect to indemnifications under this
Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 1.10, 1.11, 2A.06, 2B.06,
4.04, 13.01 and 13.06), which shall survive as to such repaid Lender. In cases
where the Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loan Commitment and/or the Dollar
Facility Revolving Loan Commitment of any Lender is terminated pursuant to this
Section 3.02(b), except in cases where the respective Commitments are replaced
in full, after giving effect to the termination of any such Commitments of a
given Lender pursuant to this Section 3.02(b), there shall occur automatic
adjustments (as determined by the Administrative Agent) in the Multicurrency
Facility RL Percentages and/or Dollar Facility RL Percentages, as the case may
be (and as a result thereof in the related L/C Participation Percentages) of the
remaining Multicurrency Facility RL Lenders and/or Dollar Facility RL Lenders,
as the case may be, after giving effect to the modifications to the
Multicurrency Facility RL Percentages and Dollar Facility RL Percentages of the
various remaining Lenders as a result of the termination of the Multicurrency
Facility Revolving Loan Commitment and/or Dollar Facility Revolving Loan
Commitment, as the case may be, of the respective Replaced Lender.

                  (c)      In connection with any reduction or termination of
the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment and/or the Multicurrency Facility
Revolving Loan Commitment and/or the Dollar Facility Revolving Loan Commitment
of any Lender pursuant to this Section 3.02 and Section 3.03, as the case may
be, each of the U.S. Borrower and the Bermuda Borrower hereby irrevocably
authorizes Holdings to take all necessary action, in the name of the U.S.
Borrower or the Bermuda Borrower, as the case may be, as described in this
Section 3.02 or Section 3.03 in order to effect the reduction or termination of
the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment and/or the Multicurrency Facility
Revolving Loan Commitment and/or the Dollar Facility Revolving Loan Commitment
of such Lender in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.02 or Section
3.03, as the case may be.

                  3.03 Mandatory Reduction of Commitments. (a) The Total
Commitment (and the Tranche A Term Loan Commitment, the Tranche B Term Loan
Commitment and the Revolving Loan Commitment of each Lender with such a
Commitment) shall terminate in its entirety on April 30, 2003 unless the Initial
Borrowing Date has occurred on or before such date.

                  (b)      In addition to any other mandatory commitment
reductions pursuant to this Section 3.03, the Total Tranche A Term Loan
Commitment (and the Tranche A Term Loan Commitment of each Lender with such a
Commitment) shall terminate in its entirety on the Initial Borrowing Date (after
giving effect to the making of Tranche A Term Loans on such date).

                  (c)      In addition to any other mandatory commitment
reductions pursuant to this Section 3.03, the Total Tranche B Term Loan
Commitment (and the Tranche B Term Loan Commitment of each Lender with such a
Commitment) shall terminate in its entirety on the Initial Borrowing Date (after
giving effect to the making of Tranche B Term Loans on such date).

<PAGE>

                  (d)      In addition to any other mandatory commitment
reductions pursuant to this Section 3.03, the Total Revolving Loan Commitment
(and the Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loan Commitment and the Dollar
Facility Revolving Loan Commitment of each Lender with such a Commitment) shall
terminate in its entirety on the earlier to occur of (i) the Revolving Loan
Maturity Date and (ii) unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise consent in
writing in their sole discretion, a Change of Control.

                  (e)      In addition to any other mandatory commitment
reductions pursuant to this Section 3.03, the Total Multicurrency Facility
Revolving Loan Commitment and the Total Dollar Facility Revolving Loan
Commitment shall be permanently reduced from time to time to the extent required
by Section 4.02.

                  (f)      Each reduction to the Total Tranche A Term Loan
Commitment, the Total Tranche B Term Loan Commitment, the Total Multicurrency
Facility Revolving Loan Commitment and the Total Dollar Facility Revolving Loan
Commitment pursuant to this Section 3.03 as provided above (or pursuant to
Section 4.02) shall be applied proportionately to reduce the Tranche A Term Loan
Commitment, the Tranche B Term Loan Commitment, the Multicurrency Facility
Revolving Loan Commitment or the Dollar Facility Revolving Loan Commitment, as
the case may be, of each Lender with such a Commitment.

                  SECTION 4. Prepayments; Repayments; Taxes.

                  4.01 Voluntary Prepayments. Each Borrower shall have the right
to prepay the Loans made to such Borrower, without premium or penalty except as
otherwise provided in this Agreement, and the right to allocate such prepayments
to Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans, Revolving Loans and/or Swingline
Loans as such Borrower elects, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to
time on the following terms and conditions:

                  (i)      an Authorized Officer of such Borrower shall give the
         Administrative Agent at its Notice Office written notice (or telephonic
         notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its intent to prepay the
         Loans, whether such Loans are Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term
         Loans, Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loans, U.S. Borrower Dollar
         Facility Revolving Loans, Bermuda Borrower Dollar Facility Revolving
         Loans, Multicurrency Facility Swingline Loans, U.S. Borrower Dollar
         Facility Swingline Loans and/or Bermuda Borrower Dollar Facility
         Swingline Loans, the amount and currency (or currencies) of the Loans
         to be prepaid, the Types of Loans to be repaid and, in the case of Euro
         Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans), the specific Borrowing or
         Borrowings pursuant to which made, which notice shall be given by the
         Authorized Officer of such Borrower (x) prior to 2:00 P.M. (New York
         time) at least one Business Day prior to the date of such prepayment in
         the case of Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans (other than Dollar
         Facility Swingline Loans), (y) the date of such prepayment in the case
         of Swingline Loans, provided such notice is given prior to 10:00 A.M.
         (New York time) and (z) prior to 10:00 A.M. (New York time) at least
         three Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment in the case of
         Euro Rate Loans (other than Euro Denominated Swingline Loans) and
         shall, except in the case of Swingline Loans, be promptly transmitted
         by the Administrative Agent to each of the Lenders;

                                      -55-

<PAGE>

                  (ii)     each partial prepayment applied to any Tranche of
         Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least $1,000,000
         (taking the Dollar Equivalent of any amounts to be prepaid in Euros)
         (or the applicable Minimum Borrowing Amount in the case of Swingline
         Loans), provided that (x) if any partial prepayment of Eurodollar Loans
         made pursuant to any Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding Eurodollar
         Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the
         Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, then such Borrowing may
         not be continued as a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans beyond the Interest
         Period applicable thereto and any election of an Interest Period with
         respect thereto given by such Borrower shall have no force or effect
         and (y) in the case of partial prepayments of any Borrowing of Euro
         Rate Loans (other than Euro Denominated Swingline Loans) denominated in
         currencies other than Dollars, the Bermuda Borrower shall use
         reasonable efforts to allocate such prepayments in a manner so that
         Borrowings do not remain outstanding in amounts less than the Minimum
         Borrowing Amount applicable thereto (and, to the extent such Borrowings
         would remain outstanding in amounts which are less than the Minimum
         Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, in the case of Multicurrency
         Facility Revolving Loans, the Bermuda Borrower shall repay any
         Borrowings which are less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable
         thereto at the end of the then current Interest Period);

                  (iii)    at the time of any prepayment of Euro Rate Loans
         (other than Euro Denominated Swingline Loans) pursuant to this Section
         4.01 on any date other than the last day of the Interest Period
         applicable thereto, such Borrower shall pay the amounts required
         pursuant to Section 1.11;

                  (iv)     except as provided in clause (vi) below, each
         prepayment in respect of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall
         be applied pro rata among such Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing,
         provided, that at such Borrower's election in connection with any
         prepayment of Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loans or Dollar Facility
         Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 4.01, such prepayment shall
         not be applied to the prepayment of the respective Revolving Loans of a
         Defaulting Lender;

                  (v)      each prepayment of principal of Tranche A Term Loans
         and Tranche B Term Loans pursuant to this Section 4.01 shall, subject
         to the immediately succeeding proviso, be applied to reduce the then
         remaining Scheduled Repayments of the respective Tranche of Term Loans
         (x) at any time prior to the satisfaction in full of the obligations of
         the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries to effect Contemplated Asset
         Sales pursuant to Section 8.22, in inverse order of maturity (based
         upon the then remaining principal amounts of the Scheduled Repayments
         of such Tranche of Term Loans after giving effect to all prior
         reductions thereto) and (y) at any time thereafter, on a pro rata basis
         (based upon the then remaining principal amounts of the Scheduled
         Repayments of such Tranche of Term Loans after giving effect to all
         prior reductions thereto); provided that repayments of any Tranche of
         Term Loans pursuant to clause (vi) below shall only apply to reduce the
         then remaining Scheduled Repayments of such Tranche to the extent the
         Term Loans so repaid are not replaced (and are not required to be
         replaced) pursuant to Section 13.12(b), with any such application to
         reduce the then remaining Scheduled Repayments of the respective
         Tranche in the manner provided above in this clause (v), unless
         otherwise specifically agreed by the Required Lenders;

<PAGE>

                  (vi)     in the event of certain refusals by a Lender as
         provided in Section 13.12(b) to consent to certain proposed changes,
         waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement
         which have been approved by the Required Lenders, such Borrower may,
         upon five Business Days' written notice by an Authorized Officer of
         such Borrower to the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office (which
         notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the
         Lenders), repay all Loans and pay all accrued and unpaid interest,
         Fees, and other amounts, in each case owing to such Lender (or owing to
         such Lender with respect to each Tranche which gave rise to the need to
         obtain such Lender's individual consent) in accordance with, and
         subject to the requirements of, said Section 13.12(b) so long as (A) in
         the case of the repayment of Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loans of
         any Lender pursuant to this clause (vi), the Multicurrency Facility
         Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender is terminated concurrently
         with such repayment (at which time Schedule I shall be deemed modified
         to reflect the changed Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loan
         Commitments), (B) in the case of the repayment of Dollar Facility
         Revolving Loans of any Lender pursuant to this clause (vi), the Dollar
         Facility Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender is terminated
         concurrently with such repayment (at which time Schedule I shall be
         deemed modified to reflect the changed Dollar Facility Revolving Loan
         Commitments), and (C) the consents required by Section 13.12(b) in
         connection with the repayment pursuant to this clause (vi) have been
         obtained; and

                  (vii)    in the case of any prepayment of Tranche B Term Loans
         by the Bermuda Borrower with the proceeds of an Investment in the
         Bermuda Partnership and the prepayment by the Bermuda Partnership of an
         intercompany loan to the Bermuda Borrower as contemplated by Section
         9.05(xix), such prepayment shall be accompanied by a prepayment of
         Tranche A Term Loans by the U.S. Borrower in such amount so that the
         voluntary prepayments of Term Loans at such time is made on a pro rata
         basis (based upon the TL Repayment Percentages of each such Tranche of
         Term Loans and the then outstanding principal amounts of each such
         Tranche of Term Loans).

                  4.02 Mandatory Repayments and Commitment Reductions. (a) (i)
If on any date the Aggregate Multicurrency Facility RL Exposure exceeds the
Total Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loan Commitment as then in effect, the
Bermuda Borrower shall prepay on such date the principal of outstanding
Multicurrency Facility Swingline Loans and/or the principal of outstanding
Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loans in an amount (in the case of payments
made with respect to Euro Denominated Loans, taking the Dollar Equivalent of the
amounts paid in Euros in which payments on such Loans are owing) equal to such
excess. If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding
Multicurrency Facility Swingline Loans and Multicurrency Facility Revolving
Loans, the aggregate amount of the Multicurrency Facility Letter of Credit
Outstandings and Bank Guaranty Outstandings exceeds the Total Multicurrency
Facility Revolving Loan Commitment as then in effect, the Bermuda Borrower
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office on such date an
amount of cash or Cash Equivalents (in Dollars or in the respective currencies
in which the Multicurrency Facility Letter of Credit Outstandings or Bank
Guaranty Outstandings are denominated) equal to the amount of such excess (up to
a maximum amount equal to the sum of the Multicurrency Facility Letter of Credit
Outstandings and Bank Guaranty Outstandings at such time), such cash or Cash
Equivalents to

                                      -57-

be held as security for all obligations of the Bermuda Borrower hereunder in a
cash collateral account to be established by the Administrative Agent.

                  (ii)     If on any date the Aggregate Dollar Facility RL
Exposure exceeds the Total Dollar Facility Revolving Loan Commitment as then in
effect, the U.S. Borrower shall prepay on such date the principal of outstanding
U.S. Borrower Dollar Facility Revolving Loans and/or U.S. Borrower Dollar
Facility Swingline Loans, and/or the Bermuda Borrower shall prepay on such date
the principal of outstanding Bermuda Borrower Dollar Facility Revolving Loans
and/or Bermuda Borrower Dollar Facility Swingline Loans, in an amount equal to
such excess (with such repayment of Dollar Facility Revolving Loans and Dollar
Facility Swingline Loans to be allocated among U.S. Borrower Dollar Facility
Revolving Loans, U.S. Borrower Dollar Facility Swingline Loans, Bermuda Borrower
Dollar Facility Revolving Loans and Bermuda Borrower Dollar Facility Swingline
Loans as the Borrowers may elect). If, after giving effect to the prepayment of
all outstanding Dollar Facility Swingline Loans and Dollar Facility Revolving
Loans, the aggregate amount of the Dollar Facility Letter of Credit Outstandings
exceeds the Total Dollar Facility Revolving Loan Commitment as then in effect,
the U.S. Borrower agrees (as to U.S. Borrower Dollar Facility Letters of
Credit), and the Bermuda Borrower agrees (as to Bermuda Borrower Dollar Facility
Letters of Credit), to pay to the Administrative Agent at the appropriate
Payment Office on such date an amount of cash or Cash Equivalents (in Dollars)
equal to the amount of such excess (up to a maximum amount equal to (x) in the
case of the U.S. Borrower, the Dollar Facility Letter of Credit Outstandings
with respect to U.S. Borrower Dollar Facility Letters of Credit at such time and
(y) in the case of the Bermuda Borrower, the Dollar Facility Letter of Credit
Outstandings with respect to Bermuda Borrower Dollar Facility Letters of Credit
at such time), such cash or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all
obligations of the U.S. Borrower or the Bermuda Borrower, as the case may be,
hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by the Administrative
Agent.

                  (b)      (i) In addition to any other mandatory repayments or
commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 4.02, on each date set forth
below, the U.S. Borrower shall be required to repay that principal amount of
Tranche A Term Loans, to the extent then outstanding, as is set forth opposite
such date (each such repayment, as the same may be reduced as provided in
Sections 4.01 and 4.02(h), a "Tranche A Term Loan Scheduled Repayment"):

commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 4.02, on each date on or after
the Effective Date upon which Holdings or any of the its Subsidiaries receives
Net Sale Proceeds from any Asset Sale, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Sale
Proceeds from such Asset Sale shall be applied as a mandatory repayment and/or
commitment reduction in accordance with the requirements of Sections 4.02(h) and
(i); provided that (i) with respect to Net Sale Proceeds (other than (x) Net
Sale Proceeds from any Contemplated Asset Sale consummated in accordance with
the requirements of Section 8.22 and (y) any Net Sale Proceeds from the sale of
any Principal Property pursuant to Section 9.02(xix)) received by Holdings or
any of its Subsidiaries in any Fiscal Year of Holdings not to exceed (in the
aggregate) $25,000,000, such Net Sale Proceeds shall not give rise to a
mandatory repayment and/or commitment reduction on such date as otherwise
required above, so long as no Specified Default and no Event of Default exists
at the time such Net Sale Proceeds are received and an Authorized Officer of
Holdings or the U.S. Borrower has delivered a certificate to the Administrative
Agent on or prior to such date stating that such Net Sale Proceeds shall be used
(or contractually committed to be used) to purchase capital assets used or to be
used in a Permitted Business within 360 days following the date of receipt of
such Net Sale Proceeds from such Asset Sale (which certificate shall set forth
the estimates of the proceeds to be so expended); provided, however, that (I) if
all or any portion of such Net Sale Proceeds are not so used within such 360-day
period (or contractually committed within such period to be used), such
remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of such period as a mandatory
repayment as provided above (without giving effect to the immediately preceding
proviso) and (II) if all or any portion of such Net Sale Proceeds are not
required to be applied on the last day of such 360-day period referred to in
clause (I) of this proviso because such amount is contractually committed within
such period to be used and then either (A) subsequent to such date such contract
is terminated or expires without such portion being so used or (B) such
contractually committed portion is not so used within six months after the last
day of such 360-day period referred to in clause (I) of this proviso, such
remaining portion, in the case of either of the preceding clauses (A) or (B),
shall be applied as a mandatory repayment as provided above (without giving
effect to the immediately preceding proviso). Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Section 4.02(c), (x) if the New Senior Notes
Documents or Existing Senior Notes Documents permit a lesser amount to be
reinvested, or have a shorter reinvestment period, than is provided above with
respect to any Asset Sales, then such lesser permitted reinvestment amount,
and/or shorter reinvestment period, as the case may be, shall be applicable for
purposes of this Section 4.02(c) so long as the New Senior Notes or such
Existing Senior Notes, as the case may be, remain outstanding, and (y) in no
event shall Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries use any proceeds from any Asset
Sale to make any voluntary or mandatory repayment or prepayment of New Senior
Notes or Existing Senior Notes and, before any such obligation to use such
proceeds to make such repayment shall arise, Holdings or the respective
Subsidiary shall reinvest the respective

                                      -60-

amounts as permitted above in this Section 4.02(c) or apply such proceeds as a
mandatory prepayment in accordance with requirements of Sections 4.02(h) and
(i).

                  (d)      In addition to any other mandatory repayments or
commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 4.02, on each date on or after
the Effective Date on which Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries receives any
cash proceeds from (i) any incurrence of Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness
permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 9.04 as in effect on the Effective
Date), (ii) any issuance of Equity Interests (other than Holdings Common Stock
or options, rights or warrants therefor) by Holdings or (iii) any issuance of
capital stock or other Equity Interests by, or cash capital contributions to,
any Subsidiary of Holdings (other than (x) issuances of common Equity Interests
to Holdings or any other Subsidiary of Holdings by Holdings or any other
Subsidiary of Holdings, and (y) cash capital contributions to any Subsidiary of
Holdings by Holdings or any Subsidiary of Holdings), an amount equal to 100% of
the Net Cash Proceeds of the respective incurrence of Indebtedness, issuance of
Equity Interests or cash capital contribution shall be applied as a mandatory
repayment in accordance with the requirements of Sections 4.02(h) and (i).

                  (e)      In addition to any other mandatory repayments or
commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 4.02, on each date after the
Initial Borrowing Date on which Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries receives any
cash proceeds from any sale or issuance of Holdings Common Stock (including from
the sale or issuance of options, warrants or rights to purchase any such equity)
by, or cash capital contributions to, Holdings (including any contribution made
pursuant to the Capital Call Agreement but excluding proceeds received from (i)
the Common Equity Financing and (ii) the sale or issuance by Holdings of shares
of its common stock (including as a result of the exercise of any options or
warrants with regard thereto), or options or warrants to purchase shares of its
common stock, to any employee, officer or director of Holdings or any of its
Subsidiaries in an aggregate amount (for all such sales and issuances) not to
exceed $2,000,000 in any Fiscal Year of Holdings), an amount equal to the
Applicable Prepayment Percentage of such cash proceeds (net of all underwriting
discounts, fees and commissions and other costs and expenses associated
therewith) of the respective equity issuance or capital contribution shall be
applied as a mandatory repayment and/or commitment reduction in accordance with
the requirements of Sections 4.02(h) and (i).

                  (f)      In addition to any other mandatory repayments or
commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 4.02, within 10 days following
each date on or after the Effective Date on which Holdings or any of its
Subsidiaries receives any proceeds from any Recovery Event (other than proceeds
from Recovery Events in an amount less than $2,500,000 per Recovery Event), an
amount equal to 100% of the proceeds of such Recovery Event (net of reasonable
costs (including, without limitation, legal costs and expenses) and taxes
incurred in connection with such Recovery Event and the amount of such proceeds
required to be used to repay any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness of the
Lenders pursuant to this Agreement) which is secured by the respective assets
subject to such Recovery Event) shall be applied as a mandatory repayment and/or
commitment reduction in accordance with the requirements of Sections 4.02(h) and
(i); provided that so long as no Specified Default and no Event of Default then
exists and such proceeds do not exceed $25,000,000, such proceeds shall not be
required to be so applied on such date to the extent that an Authorized Officer
of Holdings or the U.S. Borrower has delivered a certificate to the
Administrative Agent on or prior to such date stating that such

                                      -61-

<PAGE>

proceeds shall be used (or contractually committed to be used) within 360 days
following the date of receipt of such proceeds from such Recovery Event to
replace or restore any properties or assets in respect of which such proceeds
were paid (which certificate shall set forth the estimates of the proceeds to be
so expended), and provided further, that (I) if all or any portion of such
proceeds are not so used (or contractually committed to be used) within such
360-day period, such remaining portion shall be applied as a mandatory repayment
and/or commitment reduction as provided above (without giving effect to the
immediately preceding proviso) and (II) if all or any portion of such proceeds
are not required to be applied on the last day of such 360-day period referred
to in clause (I) of this proviso because such amount is contractually committed
to be used and then either (A) subsequent to such date such contract is
terminated or expires without such portion being so used or (B) such
contractually committed portion is not so used within six months after the last
day of such 360-day period referred to in clause (I) of this proviso, such
remaining portion, in the case of either of the preceding clauses (A) or (B),
shall be applied as a mandatory repayment and/or commitment reduction as
provided above (without giving effect to the immediately preceding proviso).

                  (g)      In addition to any other mandatory repayments or
commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 4.02, on each Excess Cash Payment
Date, an amount equal to the Applicable Prepayment Percentage of the Excess Cash
Flow for the relevant Excess Cash Flow Payment Period shall be applied as a
mandatory repayment and/or commitment reduction in accordance with the
requirements of Sections 4.02(h) and (i).

                  (h)      (I) Each amount required to be applied pursuant to
Sections 4.02(c), (d), (e), (f), and (g) in accordance with this Section 4.02(h)
shall, subject to Section 4.02(k), be applied (i) first, to repay the
outstanding principal amount of Term Loans and (ii) second, to the extent in
excess of the amounts required to be applied pursuant to preceding clause (i),
to permanently reduce the Total Revolving Loan Commitment.

                  (II)     Each amount required to be applied to repay
outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Section 4.02(h) shall, subject to
Section 4.02(k) and the immediately succeeding proviso, be applied pro rata to
each Tranche of Term Loans (based upon the TL Repayment Percentages of the
various Tranches of Term Loans and the then outstanding principal amounts of the
respective Tranches of Term Loans); provided that (i) the Net Sale Proceeds from
any Asset Sale effected by Holdings or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries and
required to be applied to the repayment of Term Loans pursuant to clause (I) of
this Section 4.02(h), shall be applied (x) first, to repay principal of
outstanding Tranche A Term Loans and (y) second, after the repayment in full of
all outstanding Tranche A Term Loans, to repay principal of outstanding Tranche
B Term Loans and (ii) the Net Sale Proceeds from any Asset Sale effected by any
Foreign Subsidiary of Holdings and required to be applied to the repayment of
Term Loans pursuant to clause (I) of this Section 4.02(h), shall be applied (x)
first, to repay principal of outstanding Tranche B Term Loans and (y) second,
after the repayment in full of all outstanding Tranche B Term Loans, to repay
principal of outstanding Tranche A Term Loans.

                  (III)    The amount of each reduction to the Total Revolving
Loan Commitment pursuant to this Section 4.02(h) shall be applied to reduce the
Total Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loan Commitment and the Total Dollar
Facility Revolving Loan on a pro rata basis (based on the relative amounts of
the Total Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loan Commitment

                                      -62-

<PAGE>

and the Total Dollar Facility Revolving Loan Commitment in each case as in
effect before giving effect to the respective reduction). In addition, (x) the
amount of any reduction to the Revolving Loan Commitments as provided in
subclause (I)(ii) of this Section 4.02(h) above shall be deemed to be an
application of proceeds for purposes of this Section 4.02(h) even though cash
may not be required to actually be applied, (y) in connection with any reduction
to the Total Revolving Loan Commitment, any cash received by Holdings or any
Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower in connection with the event giving rise to such
reduction will be retained by such Person, except to the extent that such cash
is otherwise required to be applied as provided in Section 4.02(a) as a result
of any such reduction to the Total Revolving Loan Commitment and (z) each
reduction to the Total Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loan Commitment or the
Total Dollar Facility Revolving Loan Commitment shall apply to reduce the
respective underlying Commitments of the Lenders on a pro rata basis as provided
in Section 3.03(f).

                  (IV)     All repayments of outstanding Term Loans pursuant to
Section 4.02(c) shall be applied (x) at any time prior to the satisfaction in
full of the obligations of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries to effect
Contemplated Asset Sales pursuant to Section 8.22, to reduce the then remaining
Scheduled Repayments of the respective Tranche of Term Loans in inverse order of
maturity (based upon the then remaining principal amounts of the Scheduled
Repayments of such Tranche of Term Loans after giving effect to all prior
reductions thereto) and (y) at any time thereafter, to reduce the then remaining
Scheduled Repayments of the respective Tranche of Term Loans on a pro rata basis
(based upon the then remaining principal amounts of the Scheduled Repayments of
such Tranche of Term Loans after giving effect to all prior reductions thereto).
All repayments of outstanding Term Loans pursuant to Section 4.02(d), (e), (f)
or (g) shall be applied to reduce the then remaining Scheduled Repayments of the
respective Tranche of Term Loans on a pro rata basis (based upon the then
remaining principal amounts of the Scheduled Repayments of such Tranche of Term
Loans after giving effect to all prior reductions thereto).

                  (i)      With respect to each repayment of Loans required by
this Section 4.02, the respective Borrower may (subject to the requirements of
preceding clause (h)) designate the Types of Loans of the respective Tranche
which are to be repaid and, in the case of Euro Rate Loans (other than Swingline
Loans), the specific Borrowing or Borrowings of the respective Tranche pursuant
to which made, provided that: (i) in the case of repayments of Euro Rate Loans
(other than Swingline Loans), repayments of such Loans pursuant to this Section
4.02 on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto
shall be accompanied by payment by the respective Borrower of all amounts owing
in connection therewith pursuant to Section 1.11; (ii) if any repayment of Euro
Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans) made pursuant to a single Borrowing
shall reduce the outstanding Euro Rate Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to
an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable to the respective
Euro Rate Loans, such Borrowing (x) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, shall be
converted at the end of the then current Interest Period into a Borrowing of
Base Rate Loans and (y) in the case of Euro Denominated Revolving Loans, shall
be repaid in full at the end of the then current Interest Period; and (iii)
except as provided in Section 4.02(k), each repayment of any Tranche of Loans
made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Tranche of
Loans. In the absence of a designation by the respective Borrower as described
in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above,
make such designation in its sole discretion with a view, but no obligation, to
minimize breakage costs owing under Section 1.11.

                  (j)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
elsewhere in this Agreement, (i) all then outstanding Swingline Loans shall be
repaid in full on the Swingline Expiry Date, (ii) all other then outstanding
Loans shall be repaid in full on the respective Maturity Date for such Loans and
(iii) unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing in their sole
discretion, all outstanding Loans shall be repaid in full upon the occurrence of
a Change of Control.

                  (k)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
above in this Section 4.02, with respect to any mandatory repayments of Tranche
B Term Loans (excluding Scheduled Repayments, repayments pursuant to Section
4.02(c) with the Net Sale Proceeds from Asset Sales effected by any Foreign
Subsidiary of Holdings and repayments pursuant to Section 4.02(j)) otherwise
required above pursuant to this Section 4.02, if on or prior to the date the
respective mandatory repayment is otherwise required to be made pursuant to this
Section 4.02, the Bermuda Borrower has given the Administrative Agent written
notification that the Bermuda Borrower has elected to give each Lender with a
Tranche B Term Loan the right to waive such Lender's rights to receive such
repayment (each, a "Waivable Repayment"), the Administrative Agent shall, unless
the then outstanding Tranche A Term Loans shall be repaid in full with the share
of the respective mandatory repayment allocable thereto (before giving effect to
any additional reallocation thereto pursuant to this clause (k)) in accordance
with the relevant provisions of Section 4.02, promptly notify each Lender with a
Tranche B Term Loan of (x) such receipt, (y) the amount of the repayment to be
applied to such Lender's Tranche B Term Loans and (z) the maximum aggregate
amount of the respective Waivable Repayment which can be waived by the holders
of Tranche B Term Loans (the "Maximum Waivable Amount"), which shall be equal to
the lesser of (i) the aggregate amount of the Waivable Repayment required, in
the absence of this Section 4.02(k), to be applied to the repayment of
outstanding Tranche B Term Loans and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of
Tranche A Term Loans which will be outstanding after giving effect to the
application of the amounts then required to be applied to the repayment of such
Tranche A Term Loans pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.02, before giving
effect to the provisions of this clause (k). In the event any such Lender with a
Tranche B Term Loan desires to waive such Lender's right to receive its share
any such Waivable Repayment, in whole or in part, such Lender shall so advise
the Administrative Agent no later than 5:00 P.M. (New York time) five Business
Days after the date of such notice from the Administrative Agent which notice
shall also include the amount the Lender desires to receive. If the Lender does
not reply to the Administrative Agent within such five Business Day period, it
will be deemed acceptance of the total payment. If the Lender does not specify
an amount it wishes to receive, it will be deemed acceptance of 100% of the
total payment. In the event that any such Lender waives such Lender's right to
any such Waivable Repayment, the Administrative Agent shall apply 100% of the
amounts so waived by such Lenders to prepay the Tranche A Term Loans in
accordance with Sections 4.02(h) and (i) (for this purpose, deeming the TL
Repayment Percentage of the Tranche B Term Loans to be 0%); provided that if the
amounts so waived by the Lenders as described above would exceed the Maximum
Waivable Amount, the amount waived by each Lender shall be reduced
proportionally (based on the amounts waived by each Lender) to the extent needed
so that the aggregate of the amounts so waived shall not exceed the Maximum
Waivable Amount. If the Bermuda Borrower elects to give the notice described
above in this Section 4.02(k) with respect to any mandatory repayment, the
amount of the respective Waivable Repayment shall be deposited with the
Administrative Agent on the date the mandatory repayment would otherwise be
required pursuant to the relevant

                                      -64-

<PAGE>

provisions of this Section 4.02 (and held by the Administrative Agent as cash
collateral for the Tranche B Term Loans, and, but only to the extent Lenders
with Tranche B Term Loans waive their right to receive their share of the
Waivable Repayment, for the benefit of the Tranche A Term Loans, in a cash
collateral account until the proceeds are applied to the applicable Loans) and
the respective repayment shall not be required to be made until the seventh
Business Day occurring after the date the respective repayment would otherwise
have been required to be made. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained above, (i) if one or more Lenders holding Tranche B Term Loans waives
its right to receive all or any part of any Waivable Repayment, but less than
all the Lenders holding the Tranche B Term Loans waive in full their right to
receive 100% of the total payment otherwise required with respect to the Tranche
B Term Loans, then of the amount actually applied to the repayment of the
Tranche B Term Loans of Lenders which have waived in part, but not in full,
their right to receive 100% of such repayment, such amount shall be applied to
each then outstanding Borrowing of the Tranche B Term Loans on a pro rata basis
(so that each Lender holding Tranche B Term Loans shall, after giving effect to
the application of the respective repayment, maintain the same percentage (as
determined for such Lender, but not the same percentage as the other Lenders
hold and not the same percentage held by such Lender prior to repayment) of each
Borrowing of Tranche B Term Loans which remains outstanding after giving effect
to such application), and (ii) the right of the Lenders holding Tranche B Term
Loans to waive their right to receive any mandatory repayments pursuant to this
Section 4.02(k) shall only be applicable so long as any Tranche A Term Loans are

Agent will thereafter cause to be distributed on the same day (if payment was
actually received by the Administrative Agent prior to 2:00 P.M. (New York time)
like funds relating to the payment of principal, interest or Fees ratably to the
Lenders entitled thereto. Any payments under this Agreement which are made later
than 2:00 P.M. (New York time) shall be deemed to have been made on the next
succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any
Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due
date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with
respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable at the applicable
rate during such extension.

                  4.04 Net Payments. (a) All payments made by any Credit Party
under any Credit Document (including, in the case of Holdings or the U.S.
Borrower, in its capacity as a guarantor pursuant to Section 14 or 15, as the
case may be) or under any Note will be made without setoff, counterclaim or
other defense. Except as provided in Section 4.04(b), all such payments will be
made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or
future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of
whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political
subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such payments
(but excluding, except as provided in the second succeeding sentence, any tax
imposed on or measured by the net income of a Lender pursuant to the laws of the
jurisdiction in which it is organized or the jurisdiction in which the principal
office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located or any subdivision
thereof or therein) and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with
respect thereto (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees,
assessments or other charges being referred to collectively as "Taxes"). If any
Taxes are so levied or imposed, the respective Borrower (and any other Credit
Party making the payment) agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes, and such
additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due
under this Agreement or under any Note, after withholding or deduction for or on
account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein or in
such Note. If any amounts are payable in respect of Taxes pursuant to the
preceding sentence, then the respective Borrower (and any other Credit Party
making the payment) shall be obligated to reimburse each Lender, upon the
written request of such Lender, for the net additional taxes (after taking into
account available credits with respect to such withholding taxes) imposed on or
measured by the net income of such Lender pursuant to the laws of the
jurisdiction in which such Lender is organized or in which the principal office
or applicable lending office of such Lender is located or under the laws of any
political subdivision or taxing authority of any such jurisdiction in which such
Lender is organized or in which the principal office or applicable lending
office of such Lender is located and for any withholding of taxes as such Lender
shall determine are payable by, or withheld from, such Lender in respect of such
amounts so paid to or on behalf of such Lender pursuant to the preceding
sentence and in respect of any amounts paid to or on behalf of such Lender
pursuant to this sentence, the respective Borrower (or Credit Party) will
furnish to the Administrative Agent within 45 days after the date of the payment
of any Taxes due pursuant to applicable law certified copies of tax receipts
evidencing such payment by such Borrower (or the respective other Credit Party).
The Credit Agreement Parties jointly and severally agree (and each Subsidiary
Guarantor pursuant to its respective Subsidiary Guaranty, and the incorporation
by reference therein of the provisions of this Section 4.04, shall agree) to
indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, and reimburse such Lender upon its
written request, for the amount of any Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by
such Lender.

                  (b)      Each Lender that is not a United States person (as
such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) agrees to deliver to
the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Effective
Date, or in the case of a Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an

respective Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such
assignment or transfer), on the date of such assignment or transfer to such
Lender, (i) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under
an income tax treaty) (or successor forms) certifying to such Lender's
entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States
withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and
under any Note, or (ii) if the Lender is not a "bank" within the meaning of
Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under
an income tax treaty) pursuant to clause (i) above, (x) a certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit D (any such certificate, a "Section
4.04(b)(ii) Certificate") and (y) two accurate and complete original signed
copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio
interest exemption) (or successor form) certifying to such Lender's entitlement
as of such date to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with
respect to payments of interest to be made under this Agreement and under any
Note. In addition, each Lender agrees that from time to time after the Effective
Date, when a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the previous
certification obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, it will deliver to
the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent two new accurate and complete
original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN
(with respect to the benefits of any income tax treaty), or Form W-8BEN (with
respect to the portfolio interest exemption) and a Section 4.04(b)(ii)
Certificate, as the case may be, and such other forms as may be required in
order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Lender to a continued
exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax with respect to
payments under this Agreement and any Note, or it shall immediately notify the
U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its inability to deliver any such
Form or Certificate, in which case such Lender shall not be required to deliver
any such Form or Certificate pursuant to this Section 4.04(b). Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in Section 4.04(a), but subject to Section
13.04(b) and the immediately succeeding sentence, (x) the U.S. Borrower shall be
entitled, to the extent it is required to do so by law, to deduct or withhold
income or similar taxes imposed by the United States (or any political
subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) from interest, fees or other
amounts payable by the U.S. Borrower hereunder for the account of any Lender
which is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section
7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes to the extent that
such Lender has not provided to the U.S. Borrower U.S. Internal Revenue Service
Forms that establish a complete exemption from such deduction or withholding and
(y) the U.S. Borrower shall not be obligated pursuant to Section 4.04(a) hereof
to gross-up payments to be made to a Lender in respect of income or similar
taxes imposed by the United States if (I) such Lender has not provided to the
U.S. Borrower the Internal Revenue Service Forms required to be provided to the
U.S. Borrower pursuant to this Section 4.04(b) or (II) in the case of a payment,
other than interest, to a Lender described in clause (ii) above, to the extent
that such forms do not establish a complete exemption from withholding of such
taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the preceding
sentence or elsewhere in this Section 4.04 and except as set forth in Section
13.04(b), the Borrower agrees to pay additional amounts and to indemnify each
Lender in the manner set forth

                                      -67-

party to this Agreement) in any applicable law, treaty, governmental rule,
regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, relating to
the deducting or withholding of income or similar taxes or (y) as a result of

<PAGE>

authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Documents to which it
is a party. Each Credit Party and each Subsidiary thereof has duly executed and
delivered each Document to which it is a party and each such Document
constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Credit Party
enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the
enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws generally affecting creditors' rights
and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in
equity or at law).

                  7.03 No Violation. Neither the execution, delivery or
performance by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof of the Documents to
which it is a party, nor compliance by any Credit Party or any such Subsidiary

contemplated herein or therein, (i) will contravene any material provision of
any applicable law, statute, rule or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction
or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, (ii) will conflict or be

or assets of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any
indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, credit agreement or any
other material agreement, contract or instrument to which Holdings or any of its
Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of its material property or assets
are bound or to which it may be subject (including, without limitation, the New
Senior Notes Indenture, the Existing Senior Notes Documents and the other
Existing Indebtedness Agreements) or (iii) will violate any provision of the
certificate of incorporation, by-laws, certificate of partnership, partnership
agreement, certificate of limited liability company, limited liability company
agreement or equivalent organizational document, as the case may be, of Holdings
or any of its Subsidiaries.

investigations pending or, to the knowledge of any Senior Officer, threatened
(i) with respect to any Credit Document, (ii) with respect to the Transaction or
any other Document, except for the Permitted Shareholder Litigation or (iii)
that have had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse

Credit Event.

                  7.05 Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations. (a) The proceeds of
the Tranche A Term Loans shall be utilized by the U.S. Borrower on the Initial
Borrowing Date solely to (x) finance the Merger and the Refinancing and (y) pay
fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transaction; provided that the
proceeds of Tranche A Term Loans shall be applied (I) first, to finance the
Merger and pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transaction and
(II) second, after the application of such proceeds in full for the purposes
described in preceding subclause (I), to finance the Refinancing. The proceeds
of the Tranche B Term Loans shall be utilized by the Bermuda Borrower on the
Initial Borrowing Date solely to (x) finance the Merger and the Refinancing, (y)
effect Intercompany Distribution Transactions in accordance with the
requirements of this Agreement and (z) pay fees and expenses incurred in
connection with the Transaction; provided that (i) if the U.S. Borrower has
fully available cash on hand in such amount as is required to comply with the
provisions of Section 5.12 (but, for such purpose, without the Bermuda Borrower
utilizing the full amount of the Tranche B Term

                                      -84-

<PAGE>

Loans to finance the Transaction), then the portion of the proceeds of the
Tranche B Term Loans not so required to be utilized to finance the Transaction
in compliance with said Section 5.12 may be utilized for the general corporate
and working capital purposes of the Bermuda Borrower and its affiliates and (ii)
the proceeds of Tranche B Term Loans utilized to fund Intercompany Distribution
Transactions shall be applied (I) first, to finance the Refinancing and (II)
second, after the application of such proceeds in full for the purposes
described in preceding subclause (I), to finance the Merger and pay fees and
expenses incurred in connection with the Transaction.

                  (b)      All proceeds of Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans
shall be used for the Borrowers' and their respective Subsidiaries' ongoing
working capital requirements and general corporate purposes (including to effect
Permitted Acquisitions (to the extent permitted by this Agreement) but excluding
payments in connection with the Transaction (except as provided in the proviso
below)); provided, however, that proceeds of Dollar Facility Revolving Loans and
Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loans (for this purpose using the Dollar
Equivalent of the principal amount of all Euro Denominated Revolving Loans
incurred on the Initial Borrowing date) in an aggregate amount not to exceed
$110,000,000 may be utilized by the Borrowers for the purposes described in
Section 7.05(a) above.

                  (c)      At the time of each Credit Event occurring on or
after the Initial Borrowing Date, the fair market value of all Margin Stock
(excluding shares of treasury stock) owned by Holdings and its Subsidiaries does
not exceed $2,500,000 (or, if the foregoing representation could not correctly
be made because the fair market value of Margin Stock owned by Holdings and its
Subsidiaries exceeds $2,500,000 solely as a result of an increase in the trading
price of such Margin Stock (and not as a result of supplemental purchases of
Margin Stock), the lesser of (x) the fair market value of all such Margin Stock
and (y) $10,000,000). In addition, at the time of each Credit Event occurring on
or after the Initial Borrowing Date, the value of the Margin Stock at any time
owned by Holdings and its Subsidiaries does not exceed 25% of the value of the
assets of Holdings and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. Neither the making of
any Loan nor the use of the proceeds thereof nor the occurrence of any other
Credit Event will violate or be inconsistent with the provisions of Regulation
T, Regulation U or Regulation X.

                  7.06 Governmental Approvals. Except (x) for immaterial filings
relating to the Acquisition set forth on Schedule XIX and (y) as may have been

approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or
registration with, or exemption by, any foreign or domestic governmental or
public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, is required to authorize
or is required in connection with (i) the execution, delivery and performance of
any Document or (ii) the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of
any Document.

any of its Subsidiaries is a "holding company," or a "subsidiary company" of a
"holding company," or an

                                      -85-

<PAGE>

"affiliate" of a "holding company" or of a "subsidiary company" of a "holding
company," within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935,
as amended.

                  7.09 True and Complete Disclosure. All factual information
(taken as a whole) heretofore or contemporaneously furnished by or on behalf of
Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries in writing to any Agent or any Lender
(including, without limitation, all information contained in the Documents) for
purposes of or in connection with this Agreement, the other Documents or any
transaction contemplated herein or therein is, and all other such factual
information (taken as a whole) hereafter furnished by or on behalf of any such
Persons in writing to any Agent or any Lender will be, true and accurate in all
material respects on the date as of which such information is dated or certified
and not incomplete by omitting to state any material fact necessary to make such
information (taken as a whole) not misleading in any material respect at such
time in light of the circumstances under which such information was provided, it
being understood and agreed that for purposes of this Section 7.09, such factual
information shall not include the Projections or any projected financial
information contained in any financial projections delivered pursuant to Section
8.01(d).

                  7.10 Financial Condition; Financial Statements. (a) On and as
of the Initial Borrowing Date, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the
Transaction and to all Indebtedness (including the Loans and the New Senior
Notes) incurred, and to be incurred, and Liens created, and to be created, by
each Credit Party in connection therewith, with respect to each Borrower (on a
stand-alone basis), Holdings and its Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) and

assets, at a fair valuation, of each Borrower (on a stand-alone basis), Holdings
and its Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) and each Borrower and its
Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) will exceed its or their debts, (y) it
has or they have not incurred nor intended to, nor believes or believe that it
or they will, incur debts beyond its or their ability to pay such debts as such
debts mature and (z) it or they will have sufficient capital with which to
conduct its or their business. For purposes of this Section 7.10(a), "debt"
means any liability on a claim, and "claim" means (i) right to payment, whether
or not such a right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed,
contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured
or unsecured or (ii) right to an equitable remedy for breach of performance if
such breach gives rise to a payment, whether or not such right to an equitable
remedy is reduced to judgment, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed,
undisputed, secured or unsecured. The amount of contingent liabilities at any
time shall be computed as the amount that, in the light of all facts and
circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably
be expected to become an actual or matured liability.

                  (b)      (i) The audited consolidated statements of financial
condition of the U.S. Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries at December 30,
2000, December 29, 2001 and December 28, 2002 and the related consolidated
statements of income and cash flows and changes in shareholders' equity of the
U.S. Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal years of the U.S.
Borrower ended on such dates, in each case furnished to the Lenders prior to the
Initial Borrowing Date, present fairly in all material respects the consolidated
financial position of the U.S. Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries at the
date of said financial statements and the results for the respective periods
covered thereby and (ii) the Pro Forma Financial Statements present a good faith
estimate of the consolidated pro forma financial

                                      -86-

<PAGE>

condition of the U.S. Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries and the pro
forma results of operations of the U.S. Borrower and its Consolidated
Subsidiaries for the respective periods covered thereby (after giving effect to
the Transaction at the date thereof or for the period covered thereby). All of
the financial statements referred to in clause (i) of the immediately preceding
sentence have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP consistently applied
except to the extent provided in the notes to said financial statements.

                  (c)      Since December 28, 2002 (but after giving effect to
the Transaction as if same had occurred immediately prior thereto), nothing has
occurred that has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material
Adverse Effect.

                  (d)      Except as fully reflected in the financial statements
described in Section 7.10(b) and as otherwise permitted by Section 9.04, (i)
there were as of the Initial Borrowing Date (and after giving effect to any
Loans made on such date), no liabilities or obligations with respect to Holdings
or any of its Subsidiaries of any nature whatsoever (whether absolute, accrued,
contingent or otherwise and whether or not due) which, either individually or in
the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to be material to Holdings and its
Subsidiaries taken as a whole and (ii) no Credit Agreement Party knows of any
basis for the assertion against Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries of any such
liability or obligation which, either individually or in the aggregate, has had,
or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

                  (e)      The Projections have been prepared on a basis
consistent with the financial statements referred to in Section 7.10(b) and are
based on good faith estimates and assumptions made by the management of
Holdings, and on the Initial Borrowing Date, the Borrowers believe that the
Projections are reasonable and attainable, it being recognized by the Lenders
that such projections of future events are not to be viewed as facts and that
actual results during the period or periods covered by any such Projections may
differ from the projected results contained therein. There is no fact known to
any Credit Agreement Party or any of its Subsidiaries which has had, or could
reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect, which has not been
disclosed herein or in such other documents, certificates and statements
furnished to the Lenders for use in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby.

                  7.11 Security Interests. On and after the Initial Borrowing
Date, each of the Security Documents creates (or after the execution and
delivery thereof will create), as security for the Obligations covered thereby,
a valid and enforceable perfected security interest in and Lien on all of the
Collateral subject thereto, superior to and prior to the rights of all third
Persons, and subject to no other Liens (except that (i) the Security Agreement
Collateral may be subject to Permitted Liens, (ii) the Pledge Agreement
Collateral may be subject to the Liens described in clauses (i) and (v) of
Section 9.03 and (iii) the security interest and mortgage lien created on any
Mortgaged Property may be subject to the Permitted Encumbrances related
thereto), in favor of the Collateral Agent (or such other trustee or sub-agent
as may be required or desired under local law). No filings or recordings are
required in order to perfect and/or render enforceable as against third parties
the security interests created under any Security Document except for filings or
recordings required in connection with any such Security Document which shall
have been made on or prior to the Initial Borrowing Date or on or prior to the
execution and delivery thereof as contemplated by Sections 8.11, 8.12, 8.15 and
9.17.

                  (b)      Each Foreign Pension Plan has been maintained in
substantial compliance with its terms and with the requirements of any and all
applicable laws, statutes, rules, regulations and orders and has been
maintained, where required, in good standing with applicable regulatory
authorities, except to the extent that such noncompliances, individually or in
the aggregate, would not result in a Material Adverse Effect. All required
contributions with respect to a Foreign Pension Plan have been made. Neither
Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred any material outstanding
obligation in connection with the termination of or withdrawal from any Foreign
Pension Plan. The present value of the accrued benefit liabilities (whether or
not vested) under each Foreign Pension Plan, determined as of the end of
Holdings' most recently ended fiscal year on the basis of actuarial assumptions,
each of which is reasonable, did not exceed the current value of the assets of
such Foreign Pension Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities or
alternatively, the Foreign Pension Plan is funded in compliance with applicable
law in all material respects and Holdings and its Subsidiaries have established
adequate reserves for the present value of such accrued benefit liabilities
under such Foreign Pension Plan in the financial statements delivered pursuant
to Section 8.01(b) and (c).

into or exchangeable for its capital stock or outstanding any rights to
subscribe for or to purchase, or any options for the purchase of, or any

to the Transaction, the authorized capital stock of the Bermuda Borrower shall
consist of 2,319,640,170 shares of common stock, $.10 par value per share, of
which 2,319,640,170 shares are issued and outstanding and owned indirectly by

issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and free of preemptive rights. The
Bermuda Borrower does not have outstanding any securities convertible into or
exchangeable for its capital stock or outstanding any rights to subscribe for or
to purchase, or any options for the purchase of, or any agreement providing for
the issuance (contingent or otherwise) of, or any

calls, commitments or claims of any character relating to, its capital stock or
any stock appreciation or similar rights.

                  7.14 Subsidiaries. On and as of the Initial Borrowing Date and
after giving effect to the Transaction, Holdings has no Subsidiaries other than
the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and the U.S. Borrower has no
Subsidiaries other than those Subsidiaries listed on Schedule VII. Schedule VII
correctly sets forth, as of the Initial Borrowing Date and after giving effect

security of, or any other Equity Interests in, any Person other than its
Subsidiaries indicated on Schedule VII.

                  7.15 Intellectual Property, etc. Each of Holdings and each of
its Subsidiaries owns or has the right to use all domestic and foreign patents,
trademarks, permits, domain names, service marks, trade names, copyrights,

rights in computer programs and databases) and formulas, or other rights with
respect to the foregoing, and has obtained assignments of all leases, licenses
and other rights of whatever nature, in each case necessary for the conduct of
its business, without any known conflict with the rights of others which, or the

has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

                  7.16 Compliance with Statutes; Agreements, etc. Each of

ownership, lease or operation by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries of any Real
Property formerly owned, leased or operated by Holdings or any of its
Subsidiaries but no longer owned, leased or operated by Holdings or any of its

                  (c)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section 7.17, the representations made in this Section 7.17 shall only be untrue
if the aggregate effect of all conditions, failures, noncompliances,
Environmental Claims, Hazardous Materials, Releases and presence of underground

reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

                  7.18 Properties. All Real Property and vessels owned by

or occupant of any Real Property or vessel owned, leased or operated by Holdings
or any of its Subsidiaries, causes or permits any intentional or unintentional
act or omission resulting in the presence or Release of any Hazardous Material
(except in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws), each Credit Agreement

Party fails to provide the same within 45 days after such request was made, the
Administrative Agent may order the same, and the Credit Agreement Parties shall
grant and hereby do grant, to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their
agents, access to such Real Property and specifically grant the Administrative

applicable) registered status under and as required by applicable law and is
administered in a timely manner in all respects in compliance with all
applicable laws except where the failure to do any of the foregoing has not had,
and could not reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

                  8.09 Good Repair. Each Credit Agreement Party will, and will
cause each of its Subsidiaries to, ensure that its material properties and
equipment required to be used in its business are kept in reasonably good

and proper repairs, renewals, replacements, extensions, additions, betterments

Subsidiary.

                  8.11 Additional Security. Additional Guaranties; Actions with

(or the equivalent) Real Property acquired by such Person after the Initial
Borrowing Date and having a Fair Market Value in excess of $2,500,000 which is
not covered by the original Mortgages or Foreign Security Agreements, as
appropriate, and (ii) such Leasehold Properties to which a respective landlord
has granted its consent to the delivery of a Mortgage over such Leasehold
Properties (each such Real Property, an "Additional Mortgaged Property"). All
such Additional Mortgages shall be granted pursuant to documentation
substantially in the form of a relevant existing Mortgage or, in the case of
Additional Mortgaged Properties located in a jurisdiction outside the United
States, the relevant Foreign Security Agreement covering Real Property located
in such jurisdiction (if any) delivered to the Administrative Agent on the
Initial Borrowing Date or in such other form as is reasonably satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent and shall constitute valid and enforceable first
priority perfected Liens, superior to and prior to the rights of all third
Persons and subject to no other Liens (except as are permitted by Section 9.03),
in favor of the Collateral Agent (or such other trustee or sub-agent as may be
required or desired under local law). The Additional Mortgages or instruments
related thereto shall be duly recorded or filed in such manner and in such
places as are required by law to create, maintain, effect, perfect, preserve,
maintain and protect the Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent required to be
granted pursuant to the Additional Mortgages and all taxes, fees and other
charges payable in connection therewith shall be paid in full.

                  (b)      Each Credit Agreement Party will, and will cause each
of its Subsidiaries to, at its own expense, make, execute, endorse, acknowledge,
file and/or deliver to the Collateral Agent from time to time such vouchers,
invoices, schedules, confirmatory assignments, confirm-

                                     -104-

<PAGE>

atory conveyances, financing statements, transfer endorsements, confirmatory
powers of attorney, certificates, reports and other assurances or confirmatory
instruments and take such further steps relating to the Collateral covered by
any of the Security Documents as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require
pursuant to this Section 8.11. Furthermore, each Credit Agreement Party will
cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent such opinions of counsel and other
related documents as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to
assure itself that this Section 8.11 has been complied with.

                  (c)      Subject to the provisions of following clauses (g)
and (h), if (w) at any time any Domestic Subsidiary of Holdings is created,
established or acquired, such Subsidiary shall be required to execute and
deliver counterparts of the U.S. Subsidiaries Guaranty, the Intercompany
Subordination Agreement and such Security Documents as would have been entered
into by the respective Subsidiary if same had been a U.S. Subsidiary Guarantor
on the Initial Borrowing Date, and in each case shall take all action in
connection therewith as would otherwise have been required to be taken pursuant
to Section 5 if such Subsidiary had been a U.S. Subsidiary Guarantor on the
Initial Borrowing Date, (x) at any time any Subsidiary of Holdings organized
under the laws of any Qualified Non-U.S. Jurisdiction is created, established or
acquired, such Subsidiary shall be required to execute and deliver counterparts
of the Foreign Subsidiaries Guaranty, the Intercompany Subordination Agreement
and such Security Documents as would have been entered into by the respective
Subsidiary if same had been a Foreign Subsidiary Guarantor on the Initial
Borrowing Date (determined in accordance with the criteria described in Sections
5.15, 5.17 and 5.18(b)), and in each case shall take all action in connection
therewith as would otherwise have been required to be taken pursuant to Section
5 if such Subsidiary had been a Foreign Subsidiary Guarantor on the Initial
Borrowing Date, (y) at any time any Subsidiary of Holdings organized under the
laws of any Non-Qualified Jurisdiction in which a Foreign Subsidiary Guarantor
was organized on the Initial Borrowing Date is created, established or acquired,
such Subsidiary shall be required to execute and deliver counterparts of the
Foreign Subsidiaries Guaranty and, in each case, unless the Administrative Agent
otherwise agrees based on advice of local counsel, the Intercompany
Subordination Agreement and such Security Documents as would have been entered
into by the respective Subsidiary if same had been a Foreign Subsidiary
Guarantor organized under the laws of such Non-Qualified Jurisdiction on the
Initial Borrowing Date (determined in accordance with the criteria described in
Sections 5.15, 5.17 and 5.18(b)), and in each case shall take all action in
connection therewith as would otherwise have been required to be taken pursuant
to Section 5 if such Subsidiary had been a Foreign Subsidiary Guarantor
organized under the laws of such Non-Qualified Jurisdiction on the Initial
Borrowing Date and (z) if at any time after the Initial Borrowing Date any
jurisdiction is added to the list of Qualified Jurisdictions in accordance with
the definition thereof contained herein, then at the time of such designation
each Foreign Subsidiary of Holdings organized under the laws of such Qualified
Jurisdiction (with such exceptions as may be satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent or the Required Lenders) shall be required to become a Foreign Subsidiary
Guarantor and take all actions specified in preceding clause (x). Furthermore,
subject to the provisions of the following clause (h), the Administrative Agent
or the Required Lenders may at any time request that one or more Subsidiaries of
Holdings organized under the laws of one or more jurisdictions which are not
Qualified Jurisdictions become Foreign Subsidiary Guarantors, in which case the
Credit Agreement Parties shall cause each such Subsidiary which has been
specifically requested to become a Foreign Subsidiary Guarantor to take all
actions as are specified in clause (x) of the immediately preceding sentence,

                                     -105-

<PAGE>

provided that no Subsidiary of Holdings shall be required to take such actions
if, and to the extent that, based upon written advice of local counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, Holdings and/or such
Subsidiary concludes that the taking of such actions would violate the laws of
the jurisdiction in which the respective Subsidiary is organized, provided
further, that if steps (such as limiting the amount guaranteed) can be taken so
that such violation would not exist, then if requested by the Administrative
Agent or the Required Lenders, the respective Subsidiary shall enter into a
modified Foreign Subsidiaries Guaranty which provides, to the maximum extent
permissible under applicable law, as many of the benefits as are provided
pursuant to the Foreign Subsidiaries Guaranty executed and delivered on the
Initial Borrowing Date as is possible.

                  (d)      In addition to the requirements contained in the
Pledge Agreements, each Credit Agreement Party agrees to pledge and deliver, or
cause to be pledged and delivered, all of the Equity Interests owned by any
Credit Party of each new Unrestricted Subsidiary of Holdings established or
created (and each Subsidiary of Holdings which becomes an Unrestricted
Subsidiary) after the Initial Borrowing Date to the Collateral Agent for the
benefit of the Secured Creditors pursuant to the Pledge Agreements, provided
that, subject to the provisions of Section 8.12, in the case of any Foreign
Unrestricted Subsidiary that is a corporation (or treated as such for U.S. tax
purposes) which is owned by a U.S. Credit Party, not more than 65% of the total
outstanding voting Equity Interests of such Person shall be required to be
pledged in support of such U.S. Credit Party's obligations (x) as a Borrower
under the Credit Agreement (in the case of the U.S. Borrower) or (y) under its
Guaranty in respect of the Obligations of the U.S. Borrower (in the case of the
other U.S. Credit Parties).

                  (e)      Following any request by the Administrative Agent or
the Required Lenders, Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, shall, to the maximum
extent permitted by applicable law (but subject to the proviso to preceding
clause (d), to the extent applicable), (x) grant security interests in such of
their Property (other than Excluded Collateral) as may be requested by the
Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, in which
perfected security interests do not already exist pursuant to the Security
Documents theretofore executed and delivered and, in connection therewith, the
Credit Agreement Parties shall, or shall cause the relevant Subsidiaries of
Holdings to, execute and deliver counterparts of (and thereby become parties to)
the applicable Security Documents and/or Additional Security Documents, in each
case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent
and/or (y) with respect to pledges of Equity Interests of, or promissory notes
issued by, Persons described in Section 13.20, take such action (including,
without limitation, the execution of Additional Security Documents, the making
of filings, etc.) under the local law of the Person whose Equity Interests or
promissory notes are pledged as may be requested in order to create, preserve,
protect or perfect security interests in such Equity Interests and/or promissory
notes.

                  (f)      The security interests required to be granted
pursuant to Sections 8.11(c), (d) and (e) shall be granted pursuant to the
respective Security Documents already executed and delivered by the Credit
Parties (or other security documentation substantially similar to such Security
Documents or otherwise reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the
Collateral Agent) and shall constitute valid and enforceable first priority
perfected security interests prior to the rights of all third Persons and
subject to no other Liens (other than Permitted Lines). The Credit Agreement
Parties shall (or shall cause their respective Subsidiaries), (i) at their own

                                     -106-

<PAGE>

expense, to (x) execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause the execution,
acknowledgment and delivery of, and thereafter register, file or record in any
appropriate governmental office, any document or instrument reasonably deemed by
the Collateral Agent to be necessary or desirable for the creation, perfection,
maintenance, preservation and protection of the Liens on its assets intended to
be created pursuant to the relevant Security Documents and (y) take all other
actions reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent (including, without
limitation, the furnishing of legal opinions) in connection with the granting of
the security interests required pursuant to Sections 8.11(c), (d) and (e) and
(ii) pay in full all taxes, fees and other charges payable in connection with
the granting of the security interests required pursuant to Sections 8.11(c),
(d) and (e).

                  (g)      Each Credit Agreement Party agrees that each action
required above by Section 8.11(a) or (b) shall be completed as soon as possible,
but in no event later than 60 days (or, in the case of actions relating to
assets located outside the United States, such greater number of days (not to
exceed 90 days) as the Administrative Agent shall agree to in its sole and
absolute discretion in any given case) after such action is requested to be
taken by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders. Each Credit Agreement
Party further agrees that (x) each action required above by Section 8.11(c), (d)
and (f) with respect to a newly formed, created or acquired Subsidiary, or with
respect to any Subsidiary which is located in a jurisdiction newly-designated as
a Qualified Jurisdiction or which becomes an Unrestricted Subsidiary, shall be
completed contemporaneously with the formation, creation or acquisition of such
Subsidiary, the date of the addition of the respective jurisdiction to the list
of Qualified Jurisdictions or the date such Subsidiary becomes an Unrestricted
Subsidiary, as the case may be, (provided that, in the case of a Shell
Corporation formed, created or established by the U.S. Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, such actions shall not be required to be taken (so long as same
remains a Shell Corporation) until 60 days after the formation, creation or
establishment of such Shell Corporation) and (y) all actions required to be
taken pursuant to the last sentence of Section 8.11(c) and Section 8.11(e) shall
be taken as promptly as practicable, and in any event within 45 days, after
Holdings or the U.S. Borrower receives the respective request from the
Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders.

                  (h)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
clauses (c) through (g) above, to the extent the taking of any action as
described above by a new Subsidiary acquired pursuant to a Permitted
Acquisition, which is subject to Permitted Acquired Debt which at such time
remains in existence as permitted by Section 9.04(vi), then to the extent that
the terms of the respective Permitted Acquired Debt prohibit the taking of any
actions which would otherwise be required of such Subsidiary by this Section
8.11, then the time for taking the respective actions (to the extent prohibited
by the terms of the respective Permitted Acquired Debt) shall be extended until
10 Business Days after the earlier of (i) the date of repayment of such
Permitted Acquired Debt and (ii) the first date on which the taking of such
actions would not violate the terms of the respective issue of Permitted
Acquired Debt. To the extent the terms of any Permitted Acquired Debt prohibits
the taking of actions otherwise required by this Section 8.11, upon the request
of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, each Credit Agreement Party
shall, or shall cause the respective Subsidiaries of Holdings to, (x) prepay any
such Permitted Acquired Debt which is permitted to be prepaid and/or (y) use
reasonable efforts to obtain such consents or approvals as are needed so that
the taking of the actions otherwise specified in this Section 8.11 would not
violate the terms of the respective issue of Permitted

                                     -107-

<PAGE>

Acquired Debt. Furthermore, to the extent any Subsidiary which is not a
Wholly-Owned Subsidiary is acquired pursuant to a Permitted Acquisition (in
accordance with the limitations contained in the definition thereof) or as a
result of Investments made pursuant to Section 9.05(xiv), then for so long as
such Subsidiary is not a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, to the extent Holdings in good
faith determines that the respective Subsidiary is not able, under applicable
requirements of law (whether because of fiduciary duties under applicable law or
other requirements of applicable law) to execute and deliver a Subsidiaries
Guaranty or one or more Security Documents, the respective such Subsidiary shall
not be required to become a Subsidiary Guarantor or execute and deliver such
Security Documents as otherwise required above.

                  (i)      Within 30 days following the request of the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders, the Credit
Agreement Parties shall cause each Fee Capped Foreign Subsidiary Guarantor (to
the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) to (x) enter into such
amendments and/or modifications to the relevant Credit Documents to which such
Fee Capped Foreign Subsidiary Guarantor is a party to cause the guaranty amount
or the secured obligations thereunder, as applicable, to equal 110% of the fair
market value of the Property owned or held by such Fee Capped Foreign Subsidiary
Guarantor and (y) pay all registration, notorial and other fees, all taxes and
all other amounts as may be required in connection with the increase in amount
of the guaranty and/or the secured obligations under such Credit Documents.

                  (j)      In the event that the Administrative Agent or the
Required Lenders at any time after the Initial Borrowing Date determine in their
reasonable discretion (whether as a result of a position taken by an applicable
bank regulatory agency or official, or otherwise) that real estate appraisals
satisfying the requirements set forth in 12 C.F.R., Part 34-Subpart C, or any
successor or similar statute, role, regulation, guideline or order (any such
appraisal, a "Required Appraisal") are or were required to be obtained, or
should be obtained, in connection with any U.S. Mortgaged Property or U.S.
Mortgaged Properties, then, within 90 days after receiving written notice
thereof from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as the case may
be, Holdings shall cause such Required Appraisal to be delivered, at the expense
of Holdings, to the Administrative Agent, which Required Appraisal, and the
respective appraiser, shall be satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

                  8.12 Foreign Subsidiaries Security. If following a change in
the relevant sections of the Code or the regulations, rules, rulings, notices or
other official pronouncements issued or promulgated thereunder, counsel for
Holdings reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Required
Lenders does not within 30 days after a request from the Administrative Agent or
the Required Lenders deliver evidence, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, that (i) a
pledge of 66-2/3% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of
Equity Interests entitled to vote of any Foreign Unrestricted Subsidiary owned
by a U.S. Credit Party which has not already had all of its Equity Interests
pledged pursuant to the U.S. Pledge Agreement or a Local Law Pledge Agreement,
as applicable, to secure all of the Obligations (as defined in the respective
such Security Document), (ii) the entering into by a Foreign Subsidiary
Guarantor of a pledge agreement in substantially the form of the U.S. Pledge
Agreement, (iii) the entering into by a Foreign Subsidiary Guarantor of a
security agreement in substantially the form of the U.S. Security Agreement and
(iv) the entering into by a Foreign Subsidiary Guarantor of a guaranty in
substan-

                                     -108-

tially the form of the U.S. Subsidiaries Guaranty, in any such case would
cause the undistributed earnings of such Foreign Subsidiary as determined for
Federal income tax purposes to be treated as a deemed dividend to such Foreign
Subsidiary's United States parent or a deemed disposition of the shares of stock
of such Foreign Subsidiary for Federal income tax purposes, then (I) in the case
of a failure to deliver the evidence described in clause (i) above, that portion
of such Foreign Unrestricted Subsidiary's outstanding Equity Interests owned or
held by a U.S. Credit Party and not theretofore pledged pursuant to the U.S.
Pledge Agreement or a Local Law Pledge Agreement, as applicable, to secure all
of the Obligations (as defined in the respective such Security Document) shall
be pledged to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors
pursuant to the U.S. Pledge Agreement or the relevant Local Law Pledge Agreement
(or another pledge agreement in substantially similar form, if needed), (II) in
the case of a failure to deliver the evidence described in clause (ii) above,
such Foreign Subsidiary Guarantor shall execute and deliver the U.S. Pledge
Agreement (or another pledge agreement in substantially similar form, if
needed), granting to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured
Creditors a security interest in all of the capital stock, other Equity
Interests and promissory notes owned by such Foreign Subsidiary (other than
Excluded Collateral) and securing the Obligations of the U.S. Borrower under the
Credit Documents and under any Interest Rate Protection Agreement or Other
Hedging Agreement and, in the event the U.S. Subsidiaries Guaranty shall have
been executed by such Foreign Subsidiary Guarantor, the obligations of such
Foreign Subsidiary Guarantor thereunder, (III) in the case of a failure to
deliver the evidence described in clause (iii) above, such Foreign Subsidiary
Guarantor shall execute and deliver the U.S. Security Agreement (or another
security agreement in substantially similar form, if needed) granting to the
Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors a security interest in
all of such Foreign Subsidiary Guarantor's assets (other than the capital stock,
other Equity Interests and promissory notes owned by such Foreign Subsidiary and
such assets which constitute Excluded Collateral) and securing the obligations
of the U.S. Borrower under the Credit Documents and under any Interest Rate
Protection Agreement or Other Hedging Agreement and, in the event the U.S.
Subsidiaries Guaranty shall have been executed by such Foreign Subsidiary
Guarantor, the obligations of such Foreign Subsidiary Guarantor thereunder, and
(IV) in the case of a failure to deliver the evidence described in clause (iv)
above, such Foreign Subsidiary Guarantor shall execute and deliver the U.S.
Subsidiaries Guaranty (or another guaranty in substantially similar form, if
needed), guaranteeing the Obligations of the U.S. Borrower under the Credit
Documents and under any Interest Rate Protection Agreement or Other Hedging
Agreement, in each case to the extent that the entering into of the U.S. Pledge
Agreement, the U.S. Security Agreement or the U.S. Subsidiaries Guaranty (or
similar such agreement or guaranty) is permitted by the laws of the respective
foreign jurisdiction and with all documents delivered pursuant to this Section
8.12 to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent and/or the Required Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Section 8.12, no Foreign Subsidiary shall be required to
comply with the provisions of this Section 8.12 if the tax advisors for Holdings
or such Subsidiary determine that there is a reasonable likelihood that such
Foreign Subsidiary is, or has ever been, a passive foreign investment company
within the meaning of Section 1297 of the Code.

                  8.13 Use of Proceeds. Holdings will, and will cause each of
its Subsidiaries to, use the proceeds of the Loans for the purposes specified in
Section 7.05. No Credit Agreement Party will, nor will it permit any of its
Subsidiaries to, use any of the proceeds of the Loans, any Letter of Credit or
any Bank Guaranty to finance the acquisition of any Person that has not been

                                     -109-

approved and recommended by the board of directors (or functional equivalent
thereof) or the requisite shareholders of such Person.

                  8.14 Ownership of Subsidiaries. (a) Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (x) Holdings shall at all times own
directly 100% of the capital stock of the U.S. Borrower, (y) the U.S. Borrower
shall at all times own directly or indirectly 100% of the capital stock of the
Bermuda Borrower and (z) subject to the proviso to the first sentence of Section
8.19(a), Holdings shall at all times own directly or indirectly (through one or
more Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiaries (as opposed to through Foreign
Subsidiaries)) all of the capital stock or other Equity Interests (to the extent
owned by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries) of each Domestic Subsidiary of
Holdings.

                  (b)      Holdings shall at all times own, directly or
indirectly, 100% of the capital stock or other Equity Interests of its
Subsidiaries (except to the extent (v) with respect to Foreign Subsidiaries,
directors' qualifying shares and other nominal amounts of shares required by
applicable law to be held by Persons (other than directors) are issued from time
to time (so long as the respective Subsidiary continues to constitute a
Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of Holdings), (w) 100% of the capital stock or other
Equity Interests of any such Subsidiary are sold, transferred or otherwise
disposed of pursuant to a transaction permitted by Section 9.02, (x) less than
100% of the capital stock or other Equity Interests are acquired in the
respective Subsidiary pursuant to a Permitted Acquisition which meets the
criteria specified in the definition of Permitted Acquisition contained herein,
(y) such capital stock or other Equity Interests are acquired pursuant to an
Investment permitted by Sections 9.05(xvi) and (xx) or (z) set forth on Schedule
VII).

                  8.15 Permitted Acquisitions. (a) Subject to the provisions of
this Section 8.15 and the requirements contained in the definition of Permitted
Acquisition, the U.S. Borrower and any of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries may from
time to time effect Permitted Acquisitions, so long as (in each case except to
the extent the Required Lenders otherwise specifically agree in writing in the
case of a specific Permitted Acquisition): (i) no Default or Event of Default
shall be in existence at the time of the consummation of the proposed Permitted
Acquisition or immediately after giving effect thereto; (ii) the U.S. Borrower
shall have given the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) at least 10

Calculation Period on a Pro Forma Basis as if the respective Permitted
Acquisition (as well as all other Permitted Acquisitions and Significant Asset
Sales theretofore consummated after the first day of such Calculation Period)
had occurred on the first day of such Calculation Period, and such calculations
shall show that such financial covenants would have been complied with if the
Permitted Acquisition had occurred on the first day of such Calculation Period
(for this purpose, if the first day of the respective Calculation Period occurs
prior to the Initial Borrowing Date, calculated as if the covenants contained in
said Sections 9.08, 9.09, 9.10, 9.11 and 9.13 had been applicable from the first
day of the Calculation Period), (iv) based on good faith projections prepared by
the U.S. Borrower for the period from the date of the consummation of the
respective Permitted Acquisition to the date which is one year thereafter, the
level of financial performance measured by the financial covenants set forth in
Sections 9.08, 9.09, 9.10, 9.11 and 9.13 shall be better than or equal to such
level as would be required to

                                     -110-

<PAGE>

provide that no Event of Default would exist under the financial covenants
contained in such Sections 9.08, 9.09, 9.10, 9.11 and 9.13 as compliance with
such financial covenants would be required through the date which is one year
from the date of the consummation of the respective Permitted Acquisition; (v)
all representations and warranties contained herein and in the other Credit
Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects with the same
effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of
the date of such Permitted Acquisition (both before and after giving effect
thereto), unless stated to relate to a specific earlier date, in which case such
representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material
respects as of such earlier date; (vi) the U.S. Borrower provides to the
Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) as soon as available but not
later than 5 Business Days after the execution thereof, a copy of any executed
purchase agreement or similar agreement with respect to such Permitted
Acquisition; (vii) the Maximum Permitted Consideration payable in connection
with the proposed Permitted Acquisition (for such purpose, treating any related
Permitted Acquisitions theretofore effected as a single Permitted Acquisition)
does not exceed $50,000,000; provided that on the date of delivery to the
Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) by the U.S. Borrower of an
officer's certificate in connection with a proposed Permitted Acquisition
(together with related calculations) showing compliance with a Leverage Ratio of
3.75:1.0 or less at such time, determined on a Pro Forma Basis as if the
respective Permitted Acquisition (as well as all other Permitted Acquisitions
and Significant Asset Sales theretofore consummated after the first day of the
Calculation Period then last ended) had occurred on the first day of such
Calculation Period, the $50,000,000 basket amount set forth above in this clause
(vii) shall be increased to $100,000,000; (viii) after giving effect to such
Permitted Acquisition and the payment of all post-closing purchase price
adjustments required (in the good faith determination of Holdings) in connection
with such Permitted Acquisition (and all other Permitted Acquisitions for which
such purchase price adjustments may be required to be made) and all capital
expenditures (and the financing thereof) reasonably anticipated by Holdings to
be made in the business acquired pursuant to such Permitted Acquisition within
the 180-day period (such period for any Permitted Acquisition, a "Post-Closing
Period") following such Permitted Acquisition (and in the businesses acquired
pursuant to all other Permitted Acquisitions with Post-Closing Periods ended
during the Post-Closing Period of such Permitted Acquisition), the Total
Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment shall equal or exceed $75,000,000; (ix)
such proposed Permitted Acquisition shall be effected in accordance with the
relevant requirements of Section 8.19; (x) the U.S. Borrower determines in good
faith that Holdings and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole are not likely to
assume or become liable for material increased contingent liabilities as a
result of such proposed Permitted Acquisition (excluding, however, Indebtedness
permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 9.04 in connection therewith); (xi)
substantially all of the Acquired Entity or Business acquired pursuant to the
respective Permitted Acquisition is in a Qualified Jurisdiction (for such
purpose, treating as "Qualified Jurisdictions" the jurisdictions of organization
of Fee Capped Foreign Subsidiary Guarantors deemed to be "Qualified Non-U.S.
Obligors" pursuant to clause (i) of the proviso appearing in the definition of
"Qualified Non-U.S. Obligors"), provided, however, the respective proposed
Permitted Acquisition shall not be required to meet the requirements set forth
above in this clause (xi) if the Maximum Permitted Consideration payable in
connection with such Permitted Acquisition, when aggregated with the Maximum
Permitted Consideration payable in connection with all other Permitted
Acquisitions consummated after the Effective Date in which all or substantially
all of the Acquired Entity or Business so acquired were not in Qualified
Jurisdictions, does not

                                     -111-

<PAGE>

exceed $200,000,000; and (xii) the U.S. Borrower shall have delivered to the
Administrative Agent on the date of the consummation of such proposed Permitted
Acquisition, an officer's certificate executed by an Authorized Officer of the
U.S. Borrower, certifying to the best of his knowledge, compliance with the
requirements of preceding clauses (i) through (v), inclusive, and clauses (vii)
through (xi), inclusive, and containing the calculations required by the
preceding clauses (iii), (iv), (vi), (vii), (viii) and (xi).

                  At the time of each Permitted Acquisition involving the
creation or acquisition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary, or the acquisition of
capital stock or other Equity Interests of any Person (other than a Restricted
Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower), all capital stock or other Equity Interests
thereof created or acquired in connection with such Permitted Acquisition shall
be pledged for the benefit of the Secured Creditors as, and to the extent
required by, Section 8.11 and the relevant Security Documents.

                  Each Credit Agreement Party shall cause each Subsidiary that
is formed to effect, or is acquired pursuant to, a Permitted Acquisition to
comply with, and to execute and deliver, all of the documentation required by,
Sections 8.11 and 9.17, to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent.

                  The consummation of each Permitted Acquisition shall be deemed
to be a representation and warranty by each Credit Agreement Party that the
certifications by each Credit Agreement Party (or by one or more of its
respective Authorized Officers) pursuant to Section 8.15 are true and correct
and that all conditions thereto have been satisfied and that same is permitted
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, which representation and
warranty shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty for all purposes
hereunder, including, without limitation, Sections 6 and 10.

                  8.16 Maintenance of Company Separateness. Each Credit
Agreement Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, satisfy
customary Company formalities, including the holding of regular board of
directors' and shareholders' meetings or action by directors or shareholders
without a meeting and the maintenance of Company records. Neither Holdings nor
any other Credit Party shall make any payment to a creditor of any Non-Guarantor
Subsidiary in respect of any liability of any Non-Guarantor Subsidiary, and no
bank account of any Non-Guarantor Subsidiary shall be commingled with any bank
account of Holdings or any other Credit Party. Any financial statements
distributed to any creditors of any Non-Guarantor Subsidiary shall clearly
establish or indicate the corporate separateness of such Non-Guarantor
Subsidiary from Holdings and its other Subsidiaries. Finally, neither Holdings
nor any of its Subsidiaries shall take any action, or conduct its affairs in a
manner, which is likely to result in the Company existence of any Credit
Agreement Party, any other Credit Party or any Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries being
ignored, or in the assets and liabilities of Holdings or any other Credit Party
being substantively consolidated with those of any other such Person or any
Non-Guarantor Subsidiary in a bankruptcy, reorganization or other insolvency
proceeding; provided, that no Foreign Credit Party organized under the laws of
Bermuda shall be bound by the provisions of the last sentence of this Section
8.16.

                  8.17 Foreign Exchange Protection. No later than the 90th day
after the Initial Borrowing Date, the Borrowers shall have delivered to the
Agents a currency risk management

                                     -112-

<PAGE>

policy report detailing the foreign currency risk with respect to the operations
of Holdings and its Subsidiaries, which report (and the risks detailed therein)
shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory in all respects to the
Agents.

                  8.18 Performance of Obligations. Each Credit Agreement Party
will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, perform all of its obligations
under the terms of each mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, loan agreement or
credit agreement and each other material agreement, contract or instrument by
which it is bound, except such non-performances as, individually or in the
aggregate, have not caused, and could not reasonably be expected to cause, a
Default or Event of Default hereunder or a Material Adverse Effect.

                  8.19 Conduct of Business. (a) The Credit Agreement Parties
shall take all actions so that, at all times from and after the Initial
Borrowing Date, all the assets of Holdings and its Subsidiaries located within
the United States, all Equity Interests in all Domestic Subsidiaries or other
U.S. Persons and all or substantially all of the business of Holdings and its
Subsidiaries conducted in the United States, are, in each case, owned or
conducted, as the case may be, by Holdings and one or more Qualified U.S.
Obligors which are not direct or indirect Subsidiaries of any Subsidiary of
Holdings which is a Foreign Subsidiary, provided that if a Foreign Subsidiary
(not itself created or established in contemplation of a Permitted Acquisition)
is acquired pursuant to a Permitted Acquisition which Foreign Subsidiary has
(either directly or through one or more Domestic Subsidiaries) assets or
operations in the United States, Holdings shall have a reasonable period of time
(not to exceed 60 days) to effect the transfer of U.S. assets and operations
(including all Equity Interests in any Domestic Subsidiaries or other U.S.
Persons held by it) of the respective Foreign Subsidiary to one or more
Qualified U.S. Obligors, provided further, that the respective transfer shall
not be required to be made if Holdings in good faith determines that such
transfer would give rise to adverse tax consequences to Holdings and its
Subsidiaries or would give rise to any material breach or violation of law or
contract (in which case, Holdings and its Subsidiaries shall transfer such
assets and operations at such time, if any, as such adverse tax consequences or
breach or violation would not exist and, until such time, shall use good faith
efforts so that any growth in the assets or operations of the entity so
acquired, to the extent located in the United States, are made within one or
more Qualified U.S. Obligors).

                  (b)      In addition to the foregoing requirements, the Credit
Agreement Parties shall take all actions so that, at all times from and after
the Initial Borrowing Date, all the assets of Holdings' Subsidiaries located
within all Qualified Non-U.S. Jurisdictions, all Equity Interests in all Persons
organized under any Qualified Non-U.S. Jurisdiction and all or substantially all
of the business of Holdings' Subsidiaries conducted in all Qualified Non-U.S.
Jurisdictions, are, in each case, owned or conducted, as the case may be, by one
or more Qualified Non-U.S. Obligors which are not direct or indirect
Subsidiaries of any Subsidiary of Holdings other than Qualified Obligors,
provided that if a Subsidiary of Holdings organized under the laws of a
jurisdiction other than any Qualified Non-U.S. Jurisdiction (not itself created
or established in contemplation of the respective Permitted Acquisition) is
acquired pursuant to a Permitted Acquisition which Subsidiary has (either
directly or through one or more Subsidiaries) assets or operations outside
Qualified Non-U.S. Jurisdictions, Holdings shall have a reasonable period of
time (not to exceed 60 days) to effect the transfer of all assets and operations
outside Qualified Non-U.S. Jurisdictions (including all Equity Interests in any
Persons held by it which are organized under

                                     -113-

<PAGE>

the laws of one or more Qualified Non-U.S. Jurisdiction) of the respective
Subsidiary to one or more Qualified Non-U.S. Obligors which are not themselves
direct or indirect Subsidiaries of any Subsidiary of Holdings other than
Qualified Obligors, provided further, that the respective transfer shall not be
required to be made if Holdings in good faith determines that such transfer
would give rise to adverse tax consequences to Holdings and its Subsidiaries or
would give rise to any material breach or violation of law or contract (in which
case, Holdings and its Subsidiaries shall transfer such assets and operations at
such time, if any, as such adverse tax consequences or breach or violation would
not exist, and until such time shall use good faith efforts so that any growth
in the assets or operations of the entity so acquired, to the extent located in
the Qualified Non-U.S. Jurisdictions, are made within one or more Qualified
Non-U.S. Obligors which are not themselves direct or indirect Subsidiaries of
any Subsidiary of Holdings other than Qualified Obligors). Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this Section 8.19(b), the ownership of the Bermuda
Partnership (a Subsidiary which is not a Qualified Non-U.S. Obligor) of Equity
Interests of Qualified Non-U.S. Obligors shall not be taken account of for
purposes of determining compliance with this Section 8.19(b), so long as the
Credit Agreement Parties and their respective Foreign Subsidiaries are at all
times in compliance with Section 8.19(c) below.

                  (c)      The Credit Agreement Parties shall take all actions
so that all Foreign Subsidiaries that are not Qualified Non-U.S. Obligors are
directly or indirectly owned by one or more Qualified Non-U.S. Obligors (or, in
the case of the Bermuda Partnership, is owned by the Bermuda Partnership
Partners).

                  (d)      For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and
agreed that the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.19 shall not prohibit the
acquisition of, or Investments in, Non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries as contemplated
by Section 9.17(b), provided that the Equity Interest owned by Holdings or any
of its Subsidiaries in such Non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries, to the extent
organized under the laws of any Qualified Jurisdiction, shall be subject to the
requirements of preceding clauses (a), (b) and (c).

                  8.20 Contributions; Payments. (a) Holdings will contribute as
an equity contribution to the capital of the U.S. Borrower upon its receipt
thereof, any cash proceeds (net of reasonable costs associated with such sale or
issuance) received by Holdings from any sale or issuance of its Equity Interests
or any cash capital contributions received by Holdings.

                  (b)      The U.S. Borrower will use the proceeds of all equity
contributions received by it from Holdings as provided in clause (a) above to
repay Loans as, and to the extent required by, Section 4.02 and/or to cause a
portion thereof to be made available to the Bermuda Borrower (by way of
Investment) for the purpose of repaying Loans as, and to the extent required by,
Section 4.02.

                  (c)      The Bermuda Borrower will use proceeds of all
Investments received by it from the U.S. Borrower (directly or indirectly
through other Subsidiaries of Holdings) as contemplated by Section 8.20(b) to
repay Loans as, and to the extent required by, Section 4.02.

                  8.21 Post-Closing Refinancing. Within 60 days following the
Initial Borrowing Date, Holdings and the U.S. Borrower shall have consummated
the Post-Closing Refinancing in

                                     -114-

<PAGE>

accordance with the relevant Existing Senior Notes Indentures, the Refinancing
Documents therefor and all applicable laws.

                  8.22 Asset Sale Requirements. The Credit Agreement Parties
shall, and shall cause their respective Domestic Subsidiaries to, effect
Contemplated Asset Sales in accordance with the requirements of Section
9.02(xviii) which shall generate Net Sale Proceeds of at least $150.0 million
during the period commencing on March 29, 2003 and ending on December 31, 2005,
provided that at least $100.0 million of such Net Sale Proceeds shall have been
generated by Contemplated Asset Sales effected on or prior to December 31, 2004;
provided further, however, that (i) the amount of the Net Sale Proceeds required
to be generated from Contemplated Asset Sales pursuant to this Section 8.22
during any period contemplated above shall be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar
basis by the amount of any cash capital contributions made to Holdings
(including pursuant to the Capital Call Agreement), to the extent such cash
proceeds are actually applied as a mandatory repayment and/or commitment
reduction in accordance with the requirements of Section 4.02(e), (ii) the
amount of the Net Sale Proceeds required to be generated from Contemplated Asset
Sales pursuant to this Section 8.22 during any period contemplated above shall
be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by an amount equal to 50% of the
aggregate principal amount of Term Loans repaid in accordance with the
requirements of Section 4.01 during such period (except to the extent
constituting a notified voluntary repayment of Term Loans giving rise to a
reduction as contemplated by subclause (iii)(I) below), and (iii) the amount of
the Net Sale Proceeds required to be generated from Contemplated Asset Sales
pursuant to this Section 8.22 during any period contemplated above shall be
reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the sum of (I) the amount of cash (not
to exceed the Retained Excess Cash Flow Amount then in effect) actually used to
repay Term Loans pursuant to Section 4.01 during such period (and notified to
the Administrative Agent as having been so used for the purpose of reducing the
amount of the Net Sale Proceeds required from Contemplated Asset Sales as
otherwise provided above) plus (II) in the event that the Applicable Prepayment
Percentage of Excess Cash Flow used to determine any required payment made
pursuant to Section 4.02(g) during such period is 75%, the amount of cash (not
to exceed 25% of Excess Cash Flow for the relevant Excess Cash Flow Payment
Period) actually applied as a mandatory repayment and/or commitment reduction in
accordance with the requirements of Section 4.02(g) during such period.

                  8.23 Margin Stock. Each Credit Agreement Party shall take all
actions so that at all times the fair market value of all Margin Stock (other
than treasury stock) owned by Holdings and its Subsidiaries shall not exceed
$2,500,000 (or, if the fair market value of Margin Stock owned by Holdings and
its Subsidiaries exceeds $2,500,000 solely as a result of an increase in the
trading price of such Margin Stock (and not as a result of supplemental
purchases of Margin Stock), the lesser of (x) the fair market value of all such
Margin Stock and (y) $10,000,000). So long as the fair market value of Margin
Stock owned by Holdings and its Subsidiaries does not exceed $10,000,000, all
Margin Stock at any time owned by Holdings and its Subsidiaries shall not
constitute Collateral and no security interest shall be granted therein pursuant
to any Credit Document. Without excusing any violation of the first sentence of
this Section 8.23, if at any time the fair market value of all Margin Stock
(other than treasury stock) owned by Holdings and its Subsidiaries exceeds
$10,000,000, then (x) all Margin Stock owned by the Credit Parties (except to
the extent constituting Excluded Collateral) shall be pledged, and delivered for
pledge, pursuant to the relevant Security Documents and (y) the U.S. Borrower
shall execute and deliver

                                     -115-

<PAGE>

to the Lenders appropriate completed forms (including, without limitation, Forms
G-3 and U-1, as appropriate) establishing compliance with the Margin
Regulations. If at any time any Margin Stock is required to be pledged as a
result of the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, repayments of
outstanding Obligations shall be required to be made, and subsequent Credit
Events shall only be permitted, in compliance with the applicable provisions of
the Margin Regulations.

                  8.24 Special Provisions Regarding Special Colombian Put Notes.
(a) Within 60 days following the Initial Borrowing Date, the Collateral Agent
shall be entitled to demand from the Bermuda Borrower, by means of written

purchase (on a joint and several basis) any and all Special Colombian Put Notes

Collateral Agent to the Foreign Subsidiaries Guaranty and the Foreign Security
Documents to which the Columbian Subsidiary Guarantors are a party, (i) the
Colombian Subsidiary Guarantors shall be released from the Foreign Subsidiaries
Guaranty and the Colombian Subsidiary Guarantors' obligations under the Foreign
Subsidiaries Guaranty shall be superseded by the Special Colombian Put Note
Agreement and (ii) the joint and several obligations of the Colombian Subsidiary
Guarantors under the Special Colombian Put Note Agreement shall be secured on
the same basis as the obligations of the Colombian Subsidiary Guarantors under
the Foreign Subsidiaries Guaranty were formerly so secured.

                  (d)      The Bermuda Borrower shall cause the Colombian
Subsidiary Guarantors to execute the required amendment(s) described above,

hereby covenants and agrees that as of the Effective Date and thereafter for so
long as this Agreement is in effect and until the Total Commitment has
terminated, no Letters of Credit, Bank Guaranties or Notes are outstanding and

engage in any business and will not own any significant assets (other than its
ownership of the capital stock of the U.S. Borrower) or have any liabilities
(other than those liabilities for which it is responsible under this Agreement,
the Documents to which it is a party and any Shareholder Subordinated Note);
provided that Holdings may (i) issue Shareholder Subordinated Notes, shares of
Holdings Common Stock and options and warrants to purchase Holdings Common
Stock, (ii) engage in those activities associated with expenses paid with
Dividends made by the U.S. Borrower pursuant to Section 9.06(iv) and (iii)

above or elsewhere in this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections
9.02 and 9.05):

                  (i)      the Bermuda Partnership Partners shall not

         excess of $20,000,000 at any time or (y) cash or Cash Equivalents in an

         the U.S. Borrower formed for the sole purpose of reincorporating such
         Bermuda Partnership Partner in a different jurisdiction, so long as the
         surviving entity of such merger or consolidation remains a "Bermuda
         Partnership Partner" for all purposes of this Agreement and the other
         Credit Documents (subject to and bound by all terms and covenants
         herein and therein applicable to a "Bermuda Partnership Partner");

impose upon any Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any other
Credit Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein, provided, that
the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be a
trustee and stand in a fiduciary relationship with respect to the Lenders and
the holders of Notes for purposes of any Security Document governed by the laws
of a jurisdiction located outside the United States where the Administrative
Agent and/or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall determine, based on
advice of local counsel, that same is necessary or desirable for purposes of
realizing the benefits intended to be conferred pursuant to such Security
Document, and the Lenders hereby irrevocably designate each of the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent as their trustee for such purpose
and authorize each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to at
any time and from time to time take all actions (including, without limitation,
making demand for all amounts then due and payable and the exercise of other
remedies) on their behalf in accordance with the terms of such Security Document
without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, and
the Lenders hereby agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent

                                     -208-

(and each of their respective officers, directors, trustees, employees,
representatives and agents) and hold each of them harmless against any and all
liabilities, obligations (including removal or remedial actions), losses,
damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and
disbursements (including reasonable attorneys' and consultants' fees and
disbursements) incurred by, imposed on or assessed against any of them as a
result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to, or by reason of, the
taking of any action or any omission to take action under any such Security
Document unless such action is taken or omitted to be taken with gross
negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

                  (b)      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement
or any provision of any other Credit Document, each of the Joint Lead Arrangers
is named as such for recognition purposes only, and in their respective
capacities as such shall have no powers, duties, responsibilities or liabilities
with respect to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby; it being understood and agreed that the Joint
Lead Arrangers shall be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement rights
in favor of "Agents" as, and to the extent, provided for under Sections 12.07
and 13.01. Without limitation of the foregoing, none of the Joint Lead Arrangers
shall, solely by reason of this Agreement or any other Credit Documents, have
any fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or any other Person.

                  12.03 Certain Rights of the Agents. The Agents shall have the
right to request instructions from the Required Lenders at any time. If any
Agent shall request instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any
act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or
any other Credit Document, such Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act
or taking such action unless and until such Agent shall have received
instructions from the Required Lenders; and such Agent shall not incur liability
to any Lender by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing,
neither any Lender nor the holder of any Note shall have any right of action
whatsoever against any Agent or any of its employees, directors, officers,
agents or affiliates as a result of such Agent or such other person acting or
refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Credit Document in
accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders.

                  12.04 Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to
rely, and shall be fully protected (and shall have no liability to any Person)
in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate,
telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order, telephone
message or other document or conversation that such Agent believed, in the
absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision), to be the proper
Person, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and
any other Credit Document and its duties hereunder and thereunder, upon advice
of counsel selected by such Agent (which may be counsel for the Credit Parties)
and, with respect to other matters, upon advice of independent public
accountants or other experts selected by it.

                  12.05 Notice of Default, etc. The Administrative Agent shall
not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or
Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has actually received written
notice from a Lender or Holdings or either

                                     -209-

<PAGE>

Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of
Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default." In the event that
the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall
give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take
such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be
reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided that, unless and until the
Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative
Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from
taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall
deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders (as determined by the
Administrative Agent in its sole discretion).

                  12.06 Nonreliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Independently
and without reliance upon any Agent, each Lender and the holder of each Note, to
the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make its own
independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Holdings and
its Subsidiaries in connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans
and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith and, except as
expressly provided in this Agreement, no Agent shall have any duty or
responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender
or the holder of any Note with any credit or other information with respect
thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at
any time or times thereafter. No Agent or their respective affiliates nor any of
their respective officers, directors, agents or employees shall be responsible
to any Lender or the holder of any Note for, or be required or have any duty to
ascertain, inquire or verify the accuracy of, (i) any recitals, statements,
information, representations or warranties herein or in any document,
certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith, (ii) the
execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection,
collectibility, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit
Document, (iii) the financial condition of Holdings and any of its Subsidiaries,
(iv) the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions
of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (v) the satisfaction of any of
the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5 or 6, or (vi) the existence or
possible existence of any Default or Event of Default.

                  12.07 Indemnification. (a) To the extent any Agent (or any
affiliate thereof) is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Credit Agreement
Parties, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify such Agent (and any affiliate
thereof) in proportion to their respective "percentages" as used in determining
the Required Lenders (determined as if there were no Defaulting Lenders), for
and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind
or nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by such Agent
(or any affiliate thereof) in performing its respective duties hereunder or
under any other Credit Document or in any way relating to or arising out of this
Agreement or any other Credit Document, provided that no Lender shall be liable
for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such
Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

                  (b)      Any Agent shall be fully justified in failing or
refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Credit Document
(except actions expressly required to be taken by it hereunder or under the
Credit Documents) unless it shall first be indemnified to its

                                     -210-

<PAGE>

satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and
expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such
action.

                  (c)      The agreements in this Section 12.07 shall survive
the payment of all Obligations.

                  12.08 Agents in their Individual Capacities. With respect to
its obligation to make Loans, or issue or participate in Letters of Credit or
Bank Guaranties, under this Agreement, each Agent shall have the rights and
powers specified herein for a "Lender" and may exercise the same rights and
powers as though it were not performing the duties specified herein; and the
term "Lender", "Required Lenders", "Supermajority Lenders", "Majority Lenders",
"holders of Notes" or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly
otherwise indicates, include each Agent in its individual capacity. Each Agent
and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage
in any kind of banking, investment banking, trust or other business with, or
provide debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial
advisory services) to, any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party (or
any Person engaged in a similar business with any Credit Party or any Affiliate
thereof) as if they were not performing the duties specified herein, and may
accept fees and other consideration from any Credit Party or any Affiliate of
any Credit Party for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise
without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

                  12.09 Holders. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the
payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until
a written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case
may be, shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Any request,
authority or consent of any Person or entity who, at the time of making such
request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be
conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or
endorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in
exchange therefor.

                  12.10 Resignation of the Agents. (a) The Administrative Agent
may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder and/or
under the other Credit Documents (including, without limitation, its functions
and duties as Collateral Agent) at any time by giving 30 Business Days' prior
written notice to the Lenders and, unless a Default or an Event of Default under
Section 10.05 then exists, Holdings. Any such resignation by an Agent hereunder
shall also constitute its resignation (if applicable) as an Issuing Lender, Bank
Guaranty Issuer and Swingline Lender, in which case the resigning Agent (x)
shall not be required to issue any further Letters of Credit or Bank Guaranties
or make any additional Swingline Loans hereunder and (y) shall maintain all of
its rights as Issuing Lender, Bank Guarantor Issuer or Swingline Lender, as the
case may be, with respect to any Letter of Credit or Bank Guaranty issued by it,
or Swingline Loans made by it, prior to the date of such resignation. Such
resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Administrative
Agent pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below or as otherwise provided below.

                  (b)      Upon any such notice of resignation by the
Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor
Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under the other Credit Documents who shall
be a commercial bank or trust company acceptable to

                                     -211-

<PAGE>

Holdings, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed
(provided that Holdings' approval shall not be required if an Event of Default
then exists).

                  (c)      If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have
been so appointed within such 30 Business Day period, the Administrative Agent,
with the consent of Holdings (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed, provided that Holdings' consent shall not be required if an Event of
Default then exists), shall then appoint a successor Administrative Agent who
shall serve as Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under the other Credit
Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor
Administrative Agent as provided above.

                  (d)      If no successor Administrative Agent has been
appointed pursuant to clause (b) or (c) above by the 30th Business Day after the
date such notice of resignation was given by the Administrative Agent, the
Administrative Agent's resignation shall become effective and the Required
Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent
hereunder and/or under any other Credit Document until such time, if any, as the
Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

                  (e)      Either Co-Syndication Agent may resign from the
performance of all its functions and duties hereunder and/or under the other
Credit Documents at any time by giving five Business Days' prior written notice
to the Lenders. Such resignation shall take effect at the end of such five
Business Day period.

                  (f)      Either Co-Documentation Agent may resign from the
performance of all its functions and duties hereunder and/or under the other
Credit Documents at any time by giving five Business Days' prior written notice
to the Lenders. Such resignation shall take effect at the end of such five
Business Day period.

                  (g)      Upon a resignation of any Agent pursuant to this
Section 12.10, such Agent shall remain indemnified to the extent provided in
this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the provisions of this Section
12 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Agent for all of its actions
and inactions while serving as such Agent.

                  12.11 Collateral Matters. (a) Each Lender authorizes and
directs the Collateral Agent to enter into the Security Documents for the
benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured Creditors. Each Lender hereby
agrees, and each holder of any Note or participant in Letters of Credit or Bank
Guaranties by the acceptance thereof will be deemed to agree, that, except as
otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Required Lenders in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Security Documents, and
the exercise by the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein,
together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be
authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. The Collateral Agent is hereby
authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice
to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time prior to an Event of
Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Security Documents
which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the security interest
in and liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents.

                                     -212-

<PAGE>

                  (b)      The Lenders hereby authorize the Collateral Agent, at
its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the
Collateral Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitments and
payment and satisfaction of all of the Obligations at any time arising under or
in respect of this Agreement or the Credit Documents or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) constituting property being sold or
otherwise disposed of (to Persons other than Holdings and its Subsidiaries) upon
the sale or other disposition thereof in compliance with Section 9.02, (iii) if
approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or all of
the Lenders hereunder, to the extent required by Section 13.12) or (iv) as
otherwise may be expressly provided in the relevant Security Documents. Upon
request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in
writing the Collateral Agent's authority to release particular types or items of
Collateral pursuant to this Section 12.11.

                  (c)      The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation
whatsoever to the Lenders or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral
exists or is owned by any Credit Agreement Party or any of its Subsidiaries or
is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to the Collateral
Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully
created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular
priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or
under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities
and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent in this Section 12.11 or
in any of the Security Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect
of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Collateral
Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion,
given the Collateral Agent's own interest in the Collateral as one of the
Lenders and that the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever
to the Lenders, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable
decision).

                  12.12 Delivery of Information. The Administrative Agent shall
not be required to deliver to any Lender originals or copies of any documents,
instruments, notices, communications or other information received by the
Administrative Agent from any Credit Agreement Party, any Subsidiary, the
Required Lenders, any Lender or any other Person under or in connection with
this Agreement or any other Credit Document except (i) as specifically provided
in this Agreement or any other Credit Document and (ii) as specifically
requested from time to time in writing by any Lender with respect to a specific
document, instrument, notice or other written communication received by and in
the possession of the Administrative Agent at the time of receipt of such
request and then only in accordance with such specific request.

                  12.13 Special Appointment of Collateral Agent. (a) Without
prejudice to the generality of Clause 12.11 (Collateral Matters):

                  (i)      Each Lender hereby appoints, on the terms hereof, and
each Hedging Creditor (as defined in the U.S. Security Agreement) by their
acceptance of the benefits of the German Security (as defined below) and by
notice in writing to the Collateral Agent to that effect hereby appoints, on the
terms hereof, the Collateral Agent as trustee (Treuhaender), agent and
administrator for the purpose of holding on trust (Treuhand) accepting,
administering and enforcing the German Security for and on behalf of the Lenders
and the other Secured Creditors.

                                     -213-

<PAGE>

                  (ii)     The Collateral Agent accepts its appointment as a
trustee (Treuhaender), agent and administrator of the German Security on the
terms and subject to the conditions set out in this Agreement.

                  (iii)    The Secured Creditors agree that, in relation to the
German Security, no Secured Creditor shall exercise any independent power to
enforce any German Security or take any other action in relation to the
enforcement of the German Security, or make or receive any declarations in
relation thereto; and

                  (b)      The Collateral Agent shall:

                  (i)      hold and administer any German Security which is
security assigned or otherwise transferred
(Sicherungsubereignung/Sicherungsabtretung) under German law under a
non-accessory security right (nicht akzessorische Sicherheit) to it as a trustee
(Treuhaender) for the benefit of the Secured Creditors; and

                  (ii)     administer any German Security which is pledged under
German law (Verpfaendung) or otherwise transferred in accordance with German law
to any of the Secured Creditors under an accessory security right (akzessorische
Sicherheit),

where "German Security" means the assets the subject of a security document
which is governed by German Law. Each Secured Creditor hereby authorizes the
Collateral Agent to accept, as its representative (Stellvertreter), any German
Security created in favor of such Secured Creditor.

                  (c)      Furthermore, each Secured Creditor hereby authorizes
(bevollmaechtigt) the Collateral Agent (with the right of sub-delegation) to
enter into any documents evidencing German Security and to make and accept all
declarations and take all actions as it considers necessary or useful in
connection with any German Security on behalf of such Secured Creditor. The
Collateral Agent shall further be entitled to rescind, amend and/or execute new
and different documents securing the German Security. The Collateral Agent is
released from the restrictions arising under Clause 181 of the German Civil Code
(Buergerliches Gesetzbuch) (restrictions on self-dealing).

                  12.14 Special Provisions Relating to Canadian Security
Documents. For greater certainty, and without limiting the powers of the
Collateral Agent hereunder or under any of the Foreign Security Documents, each
of the Bermuda Borrower and the Secured Creditors hereby acknowledges that the
Collateral Agent shall, for purposes of holding any security granted by Dole
Foods of Canada Ltd. ("Dole Canada") on the property of Dole Canada pursuant to
the laws of the Province of Quebec, be the holder of an irrevocable power of
attorney (fonde de pouvoir) (within the meaning of the Civil Code of Quebec) for
all present and future Secured Creditors and in particular for all present and
future holders of the bond issued by Dole Canada in favour of the Collateral
Agent (the "Canadian Bond"). Each of the Agents and Lenders (for themselves as
Secured Creditors and for the Other Creditors (as defined in the security
agreement governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario to be executed by Dole
Canada (the "Canadian Security Agreement")) hereby irrevocably constitutes, to
the extent necessary, the Collateral Agent as the holder of an irrevocable power
of attorney (fonde de pouvoir) (within the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil
Code of Quebec) in order to hold security granted by

                                     -214-

<PAGE>

Dole Canada in the Province of Quebec to secure the Canadian Bond. The
acceptance of an assignment by an assignee of a Secured Creditor shall be deemed
to have confirmed and ratified the constitution of the Collateral Agent as the
holder of such irrevocable power of attorney (fonde de pouvoir). For greater
certainty, by their acceptance of the benefits of the Canadian Security
Agreement, each of the Other Creditors (as defined in the Canadian Security
Agreement) shall be deemed to have confirmed and ratified the appointment of the
Collateral Agent for purposes of the Bond and the Bond pledge agreement to be
entered into by Dole Canada pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 32 of An Act respecting the special
powers of legal persons (Quebec), each of the Bermuda Borrower, the Agents and
the Lenders (for themselves as Secured Creditors and for the Other Creditors)
agree that the Collateral Agent may acquire and be the holder of the Canadian
Bond. The Bermuda Borrower hereby acknowledges that the Canadian Bond
constitutes a title of indebtedness, as such term is used in Article 2692 of the
Civil Code of Quebec.

                  SECTION 13. Miscellaneous.

                  13.01 Payment of Expenses, etc. The Credit Agreement Parties
jointly and severally agree to: (i) whether or not the transactions herein
contemplated are consummated, pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and
expenses of the Agents and the Collateral Agent (including, without limitation,
the reasonable fees and disbursements of White & Case LLP and local and foreign
counsel) in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery
of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the documents and
instruments referred to herein and therein and of the Administrative Agent and
the Collateral Agent in connection with any amendment, waiver or consent
relating hereto or thereto, and of each Agent in connection with its syndication
efforts with respect to this Agreement; provided, however, that the Credit
Agreement Parties shall not be obligated to pay legal fees and expenses of
counsel incurred in connection with the initial negotiation, preparation,
execution and delivery of the Credit Documents other than the legal fees and
expenses of White & Case LLP, Conyers Dill & Pearman, a single law firm engaged
by any Agent (other than DBAB) to review credit documentation (to the extent the
fees and expenses of such single law firm do not exceed $50,000) and such other
local and foreign counsel as may be engaged by the Administrative Agent to
address issues arising in connection with the Transaction and/or to prepare
security documentation governed by local or foreign law; (ii) pay all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses of each Agent, the Collateral Agent, each
Issuing Lender, each Bank Guaranty Issuer and each of the Lenders in connection
with the enforcement of the Credit Documents and the documents and instruments
referred to therein (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel) and the protection of the rights of each Agent, the
Collateral Agent, each Issuing Lender, each Bank Guaranty Issuer and each of the
Lenders thereunder (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel (including in-house counsel) for each Agent, the
Collateral Agent, each Issuing Lender, each Bank Guaranty Issuer and each of the
Lenders); (iii) pay and hold each of the Agents, the Collateral Agent, each
Issuing Lender, each Bank Guaranty Issuer and each of the Lenders harmless from
and against any and all present and future stamp, documentary, transfer, sales

foregoing matters, the performance of any obligation under this Agreement or any
other Credit Document or any payment thereunder, and save each of the Agents,
the Collateral Agent, each Issuing Lender, each Bank Guaranty Issuer and each of

                                     -215-

<PAGE>

the Lenders harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or
resulting from any delay or omission (other than to the extent attributable to
the Agents, the Collateral Agent, such Issuing Lender, such Bank Guaranty Issuer
or such Lender) to pay such taxes; and (iv) indemnify each Agent, the Collateral
Agent, each Issuing Lender, each Bank Guaranty Issuer and each Lender, their
respective officers, directors, employees, representatives, trustees and agents
from and hold each of them harmless against any and all liabilities, obligations
(including removal or remedial actions), losses, damages, penalties, claims,
actions, costs, expenses and disbursements incurred by, imposed on or assessed
against any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to,
or by reason of, (a) any investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether
or not any Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender, any Bank Guaranty
Issuer or any Lender is a party thereto and whether or not any such
investigation, litigation or other proceeding is between or among any Agent, the
Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender, any Bank Guaranty Issuer, any Lender, any
Credit Party or any third Person or otherwise) related to the entering into
and/or performance of this Agreement or any other Document or the use of any
Letter of Credit or Bank Guaranty or the proceeds of any Loans hereunder or the
Transaction or the consummation of any other transactions contemplated by any
Document or the exercise or enforcement of any of their rights or remedies
provided herein or in the other Credit Documents (but excluding any such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, costs,
expenses and disbursements to the extent incurred by reason of the gross
negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) of the Person to be
indemnified), or (b) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials in
the air, surface water or groundwater or on the surface or subsurface of any
Real Property at any time owned, leased or operated by any Credit Party or any
of its Subsidiaries, the Release, generation, storage, transportation, handling
or disposal of Hazardous Materials at any location, whether or not owned, leased
or operated by any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, the non-compliance
of any Real Property with foreign, federal, state and local laws, regulations,
and ordinances (including applicable permits thereunder) applicable to any Real
Property, or any Environmental Claim in connection with or relating to any
Credit Party, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their operations or activities
or any Real Property at any time owned, leased or operated by any Credit Party
or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case, including, without limitation, the
reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and independent consultants
incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other
proceeding (but excluding any such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, claims, actions, costs, expenses and disbursements to the extent
incurred by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) of
the Person to be indemnified)). To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify,
pay or hold harmless any Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender, any
Bank Guaranty Issuer or any Lender set forth in the preceding sentence may be
unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Credit
Agreement Parties hereby agree to make the maximum contribution to the payment
and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities which is permissible
under applicable law.

                  13.02 Right of Setoff. (a) In addition to any rights now or
hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of
limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each
Agent, each Issuing Lender, each Bank Guaranty Issuer, each Lender and the
Collateral Agent is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without
presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to Holdings or any of
its

Subsidiaries or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly
waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or
special) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Agent,
such Issuing Lender, such Bank Guaranty Issuer, such Lender or the Collateral
Agent (including, without limitation, by branches and agencies of such Agent,
such Issuing Lender, such Bank Guaranty Issuer, such Lender or the Collateral
Agent wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of Holdings or any
of its Subsidiaries against and on account of the Obligations and liabilities of
Holdings or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, to such Agent, such Issuing
Lender, such Bank Guaranty Issuer, such Lender or the Collateral Agent under
this Agreement or under any of the other Credit Documents, including, without
limitation, all interests in Obligations purchased by such Lender pursuant to
Section 13.06(b), all participations by any Lender in any Swingline Loans,
Letters of Credit or Bank Guaranties as required pursuant to the provisions of
this Agreement and all other claims of any nature or description arising out of
or connected with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, irrespective of
whether or not such Agent, such Issuing Lender, such Bank Guaranty Issuer, such
Lender or the Collateral Agent shall have made any demand hereunder and although
said Obligations shall be contingent or unmatured. Each Borrower agrees that any
Lender purchasing participations in one or more Letters of Credit or Bank
Guaranties issued, or Swingline Loans made, to it as required by the provisions
of this Agreement, or purchasing participations as required by Section 13.06(b),
may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all rights (including
without limitation the right of setoff) with respect to such participations as
fully as if such Lender is a direct creditor of such Borrower with respect to
such participations in the amount thereof.

                  (b)      NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING SUBSECTION (A), AT ANY
TIME THAT THE LOANS OR ANY OTHER OBLIGATION SHALL BE SECURED BY REAL PROPERTY
LOCATED IN CALIFORNIA, NO LENDER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL EXERCISE A
RIGHT OF SETOFF, LIEN OR COUNTERCLAIM OR TAKE ANY COURT OR ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION
OR INSTITUTE ANY PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY
NOTE UNLESS IT IS TAKEN WITH THE CONSENT OF THE REQUIRED LENDERS OR APPROVED IN
WRITING BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, IF SUCH SETOFF OR ACTION OR PROCEEDING
WOULD OR MIGHT (PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE SECTIONS 580A,
580B, 580D AND 726 OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE OR SECTION 2924 OF
THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE, IF APPLICABLE, OR OTHERWISE) AFFECT OR IMPAIR THE
VALIDITY, PRIORITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THE LIENS GRANTED TO THE COLLATERAL
AGENT PURSUANT TO THE SECURITY DOCUMENTS OR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THE NOTES AND
OTHER OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, AND ANY ATTEMPTED EXERCISE BY ANY LENDER OR THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OF ANY SUCH RIGHT WITHOUT OBTAINING SUCH CONSENT OF THE
REQUIRED LENDERS OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL BE NULL AND VOID. THIS
SUBSECTION (B) SHALL BE SOLELY FOR THE BENEFIT OF EACH OF THE LENDERS AND THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HEREUNDER.

                  13.03 Notices. (a) Except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in
writing (including telegraphic,

                                     -217-

<PAGE>

telex, facsimile or cable communication) and mailed, telegraphed, telexed,
telecopied, cabled or delivered: if to any Credit Agreement Party, at the
address specified opposite its signature below; if to any Lender, at its address
specified for such Lender on Schedule II; and if to the Administrative Agent, at
its Notice Office; or, as to any Credit Agreement Party or any of the Agents, at
such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to
the other parties hereto and, as to each Lender, at such other address as shall
be designated by such Lender in a written notice to Holdings and the
Administrative Agent. All such notices and communications shall be mailed,
telegraphed, telexed, telecopied or cabled or sent by overnight courier, and
shall be effective when received.

                  (b)      Without in any way limiting the obligation of
Holdings and its Subsidiaries to confirm in writing any telephonic notice
permitted to be given hereunder, any Agent, the Swingline Lender (in the case of
a Borrowing of Swingline Loans), any Issuing Lender (in the case of the issuance
of a Letter of Credit) or any Bank Guaranty Issuer (in the case of the issuance
of a Bank Guaranty), as the case may be, may prior to receipt of written
confirmation act without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice,
believed by such Agent, the Swingline Lender, such Issuing Lender or such Bank
Guaranty Issuer in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer. In each such
case, Holdings and each of the Borrowers hereby waive the right to dispute such
Agent's, the Swingline Lender's, such Issuing Lender's or such Bank Guaranty
Issuer's record of the terms of such telephonic notice.

                  13.04 Benefit of Agreement. (a) This Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective
successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, no Credit
Agreement Party may assign or transfer any of its rights, obligations or
interest hereunder or under any other Credit Document without the prior written
consent of each of the Lenders and, provided further, that, although any Lender
may (without the consent of any Credit Party) transfer, assign or grant
participations in its rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain a "Lender" for
all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer or assign all or any portion of its
Commitments or Loans hereunder except as provided in Section 13.04(b)) and the
transferee, assignee or participant, as the case may be, shall not constitute a
"Lender" hereunder and, provided further, that no Lender shall transfer or grant
any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any
amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to
the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) extend the final scheduled
maturity of any Loan, Note, or Letter of Credit or Bank Guaranty (unless such
Letter of Credit or Bank Guaranty is not extended beyond the Revolving Loan
Maturity Date) in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or
extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection
with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates)
or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the
participant's participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being
understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory
reduction in the Total Commitment or of a mandatory repayment of Loans shall not
constitute a change in the terms of such participation, that an increase in any
Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if
the participant's participation is not increased as a result thereof and that
any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement
shall not constitute a reduction in any rate of interest or fees for purposes of
this clause (i), notwithstanding the fact that such amendment or modification
actually results in such a reduction), (ii) consent to the assignment or
transfer by any Credit Agreement Party of any of its

                                     -218-

<PAGE>

rights and obligations under this Agreement, (iii) release all or substantially
all of the Collateral under all of the Security Documents (except as expressly
provided in the Security Documents) supporting the Obligations in which such
participant is participating or (iv) amend, modify or waive any provision of
Section 8.22 or the Capital Call Agreement in any manner adverse to the interest
of any Lender. In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not
have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the
participant's rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be
those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the
participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder
shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation.

                  (b)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender (or any
Lender together with one or more other Lenders) may (x) assign all or a portion
of its Revolving Loan Commitment (and related outstanding Obligations
hereunder), and/or its outstanding Term Loans to (i) its parent company and/or
any affiliate of such Lender which is at least 50% owned by such Lender or its
parent company, (ii) one or more Lenders or (iii) in the case of any Lender that
is a fund that invests in bank loans, any other fund that invests in bank loans
and is managed by the same investment advisor of a Lender or by an Affiliate of
such investment advisor or (y) assign all, or if less than all, a portion equal
to at least $1,000,000 in the aggregate for the assigning Lender or assigning
Lenders, of such Revolving Loan Commitments (and related outstanding Obligations
hereunder) and/or outstanding principal amount of Term Loans hereunder to one or
more Eligible Transferees (treating (I) any fund that invests in bank loans and
(II) any other fund that invests in bank loans and is managed by the same
investment advisor as such fund or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor,
as a single Eligible Transferee), each of which assignees shall become a party
to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment and Assumption
Agreement, provided that (i) at such time Schedule I shall be deemed modified to
reflect the Revolving Loan Commitments and/or outstanding Term Loans, as the
case may be, of such new Lender and of the existing Lenders, (ii) upon surrender
of the old Notes, new Notes will be issued, at the Borrowers' expense, to such
new Lender and to the assigning Lender, such new Notes to be in conformity with
the requirements of Section 1.05 (with appropriate modifications) to the extent
needed to reflect the revised Revolving Loan Commitments and/or outstanding Term
Loans, as the case may be, (iii) except in the case of assignments by the Agents
in connection with their syndication of this Agreement, the consent of the
Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists
and is continuing, the U.S. Borrower shall be required in connection with any
such assignment pursuant to clause (y) of this Section 13.04(b) (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (iv) the consent of the
Swingline Lender and each Issuing Lender shall be required in connection with
any assignment of Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section 13.04(b)
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (v) the consent
of each Bank Guaranty Issuer shall be required in connection with any assignment
of Multicurrency Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section 13.04(b)
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (vi) the
Administrative Agent shall receive at the time of each such assignment, from the
assigning or assignee Lender, the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of
$3,500 and, provided further, that such transfer or assignment will not be
effective until recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register pursuant to
Section 13.17. To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section
13.04(b), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder
with respect to its assigned Commitments and/or outstanding Term Loans, as the
case may be. At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(b) to
a Person which is

                                     -219-

<PAGE>

not already a Lender hereunder and which is not a United States person (as such
term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for Federal income tax
purposes, the respective assignee Lender shall, to the extent legally entitled
to do so, provide to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent the
appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms (and, if applicable, a Section
4.04(b)(ii) Certificate) described in Section 4.04(b)(ii) to the extent such
forms would provide a complete exemption from or reduction in United States
withholding tax. To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a
Lender's Commitments and related outstanding Obligations pursuant to Section
1.13 or this Section 13.04(b) would, at the time of such assignment, result in
increased costs under Section 1.10, 1.11, 2A.06, 2B.06 or 4.04 from those being
charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then the
Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the
Borrowers, in accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of this
Agreement, shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type
described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective
assignment). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, at any
time after the termination of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment, if any
Revolving Loans, Letters of Credit or Bank Guaranties remain outstanding,
assignments may be made as provided above, except that the respective assignment
shall be of a portion of the outstanding Revolving Loans of the respective RL
Lender and its participation in Letters of Credit and Bank guaranties and its
obligation to make Mandatory Borrowings, although any such assignment effected
after the termination of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall not release
the assigning RL Lender from its obligations as a participant with respect to
outstanding Letters of Credit or Bank Guaranties or to fund its share of any
Mandatory Borrowing (although the respective assignee may agree, as between
itself and the respective assigning RL Lender, that it shall be responsible for
such amounts).

                  (c)      Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit
any Lender from pledging its Loans and Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank
in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank and,
with prior notification to the Administrative Agent (but without the consent of
the Administrative Agent or any Credit Agreement Party), any Lender which is a
fund may pledge all or any portion of its Notes or Loans to its trustee or to a
collateral agent or to another creditor providing credit or credit support to
such Lender in support of its obligations to such trustee, such Collateral Agent
or a holder of, or any other representative of a holder of, such obligations, or
such other creditor, as the case may be. No pledge pursuant to this clause (c)
shall release the transferor Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

                  13.05 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on
the part of any Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in exercising any
right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no
course of dealing between any Credit Party and any Agent, the Collateral Agent
or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit
Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies
herein expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or
remedies which any Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender would otherwise
have. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any
Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of any Agent, the Collateral
Agent or any Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without
notice or demand.

                  13.06 Payments Pro Rata. (a) The Administrative Agent agrees
that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of any Credit
Party in respect of any Obligations of such Credit Party, it shall, except as
otherwise provided in this Agreement (including, without limitation, as provided
in Section 4.02(k)), distribute such payment to the Lenders (other than any
Lender that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share of such
payment) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations
with respect to which such payment was received.

                  (b)      Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive
any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon
security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker's lien, by
counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit
Documents, or otherwise) which is applicable to the payment of the principal of,
or interest on, the Loans, Unpaid Drawings or Fees, of a sum which with respect
to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion
than the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the
total of such Obligation then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately
prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall
purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an
interest in the Obligations of the respective Credit Party to such Lenders in
such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all of the
Lenders in such amount; provided that if all or any portion of such excess
amount is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such purchase shall be
rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but
without interest.

                  (c)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, the provisions of the preceding Sections 13.06(a) and (b) shall be
subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit,
differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting
Lenders.

                  13.07 Calculations; Computations. (a) The financial statements
to be furnished to the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in
accordance with U.S. GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved
(except as set forth in the notes thereto or as otherwise disclosed in writing
by the U.S. Borrower to the Lenders), provided that (i) except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, all computations determining the Applicable
Margins, Excess Cash Flow, the Leverage Ratio, the Bank Debt Leverage Ratio and
compliance with Sections 4, 8.15 and 9, including in each case definitions used
therein, shall, in each case, utilize United States accounting principles and
policies in effect at the time of the preparation of, and in conformity with
those used to prepare, the historical consolidated audited financial statements
of the U.S. Borrower delivered to the Lenders pursuant to Section 7.10(b) for
the fiscal year of the U.S. Borrower ended December 28, 2002, (ii) to the extent
expressly required pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, certain
calculations shall be made on a Pro Forma Basis, and (iii) for purposes of
determining compliance with any incurrence or expenditure tests set forth in
Sections 8 and/or 9 (excluding Sections 9.08, 9.09, 9.10, 9.11 and 9.13), any
amounts so incurred or expended (to the extent incurred or expended in a
currency other than Dollars) shall be converted into Dollars on the basis of the
exchange rates (as shown on Reuters ECB page 37 or, if same does not provide
such exchange rates, on such other basis as is reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent) as in effect on the date of such incurrence or expenditure
under any provision of any such Section that has an aggregate Dollar limitation
provided for therein (and to the extent the respective incurrence or expenditure
test regulates the aggregate amount

                                     -221-

<PAGE>

outstanding at any time and it is expressed in terms of Dollars, all outstanding
amounts originally incurred or spent in currencies other than Dollars shall be
converted into Dollars on the basis of the exchange rates (as shown on Reuters
ECB page 37 or, if same does not provide such exchange rates, on such other
basis as is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) as in effect on
the date of any new incurrence or expenditures made under any provision of any
such Section that regulates the Dollar amount outstanding at any time).

                  (b)      All computations of interest, RL Commitment
Commission and other Fees hereunder shall be made 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 interest, RL Commitment
Commission or Fees are payable.

                  13.08 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Venue. (a)
THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF
THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN
CERTAIN OF THE SUBSIDIARIES GUARANTIES AND SECURITY DOCUMENTS, BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. Any legal
action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any other Credit Document
may be brought in the courts of the State of New York or of the United States
for the Southern District of New York, in each case located within the City of
New York and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Credit Agreement
Party hereby irrevocably accepts for itself and in respect of its property,
generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. Each
Credit Agreement Party hereby irrevocably designates, appoints and empowers
Corporation Service Company, with offices on the date hereof at 80 State Street,
Albany, NY 12207, as its designee, appointee and agent to receive, accept and
acknowledge for and on its behalf, and in respect of its property, service of
any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents which may be served in
any such action or proceeding. If for any reason such designee, appointee and
agent shall cease to be available to act as such, each Credit Agreement Party
agrees to designate a new designee, appointee and agent in New York City on the
terms and for the purposes of this provision reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent under this Agreement. Each Credit Agreement Party hereby
further irrevocably waives any claim that any such courts lack jurisdiction over
such Credit Agreement Party, and agrees not to plead or claim, in any legal
action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any other Credit Document
brought in any of the aforesaid courts, that any such court lacks jurisdiction
over such Credit Agreement Party. Each Credit Agreement Party further
irrevocably consents to the service of process in any such action or proceeding
by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage
prepaid, to such Credit Agreement Party, as the case may be, at its address for
notices pursuant to Section 13.03, such service to become effective 30 days
after such mailing. Each Credit Agreement Party hereby irrevocably waives any
objection to such service of process and further irrevocably waives and agrees
not to plead or claim in any action or proceeding commenced hereunder or under
any other Credit Document that service of process was in any way invalid or
ineffective. Nothing herein shall affect the right of any Agent, the Collateral
Agent, any Lender or the holder of any Note to serve process in any other manner
permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against
any Credit Agreement Party in any other jurisdiction.

THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT BROUGHT IN THE COURTS REFERRED TO IN
CLAUSE (a) ABOVE AND HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD

number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original,
but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. A
complete set of counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged
with each Credit Agreement Party and the Administrative Agent.

                  13.10 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective on
the date (the "Effective Date") on which Holdings, each of the Borrowers, each
Agent, the Collateral Agent and each of the Lenders shall have signed a
counterpart hereof (whether the same or different counterparts) and shall have
delivered the same (including by way of facsimile transmission) to the
Administrative Agent at the Notice Office or at the office of the Administrative
Agents' counsel. The Administrative Agent will give Holdings and each Lender
prompt written notice of the occurrence of the Effective Date.

                  13.11 Headings Descriptive. The headings of the several
sections and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and
shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this
Agreement.

                  13.12 Amendment or Waiver; etc. (a) Neither this Agreement nor
any other Credit Document nor any terms hereof or thereof may be changed,
waived, discharged or terminated unless such change, waiver, discharge or
termination is in writing signed by the respective Credit Parties party thereto
and the Required Lenders, provided that no such change, waiver, discharge or
termination shall, without the consent of each Lender (other than a Defaulting
Lender) (with Obligations being directly affected thereby in the case of the
following clause (i)), (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or
Note or extend the stated maturity of any Letter of Credit or Bank Guaranty
beyond the Revolving Loan Maturity Date or extend the duration of any Interest
Period beyond six months, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of
interest (other than as a result of any waiver of the applicability of any
post-default increase in interest rates) or Fees thereon, or reduce the
principal amount thereof (except to the extent paid in cash) (it being
understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in
this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in any rate of interest or fees
for purposes of this clause (i), notwithstanding the fact that such amendment or
modification actually results in such a reduction), (ii) release all or
substantially all of the Collateral (except as expressly provided in the Credit
Documents) under all the Security Documents, (iii) amend, modify or waive any
provision of this Section 13.12 (except for technical amendments with respect to

extensions of Term Loans and Revolving Loan Commitments are included on the
Effective Date), (v) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit
Agreement Party of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, (vi)
amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 8.22 or the Capital Call
Agreement in any manner adverse to the interests of any Lender or (vii) release

any condition precedent set forth in Section 6A or 6B with respect to the making
of Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit or Bank
Guaranties, without the written consent of the Majority Lenders holding
Revolving Loan Commitments, (q) increase the Commitments of any Lender over the
amount thereof then in effect without the consent of such Lender (it being
understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants,
Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Total
Commitment shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of any Lender, and
that an increase in the available portion of any Commitment of any Lender shall
not constitute an increase in the Commitment of such Lender), (r) without the
consent of each Issuing Lender affected thereby, amend, modify or waive any
provision of Section 2A or alter its rights or obligations with respect to
Letters of Credit, (s) without the consent of each Bank Guaranty Issuer affected

without the consent of the Collateral Agent, amend, modify or waive any
provision relating to the rights or obligations of the Collateral Agent, (w)
except in cases where additional extensions of term loans and/or revolving loans
are being afforded substantially the same treatment afforded to the Term Loans
and Revolving Loans pursuant to this Agreement as originally in effect, without
the consent of the Majority Lenders of each Tranche which is being allocated a
lesser prepayment, repayment or commitment reduction as a result of the actions
described below, alter the required application of any prepayments or repayments
(or commitment reduction), as between the various Tranches, pursuant to Section
4.01 or 4.02 (excluding Section 4.02(b)) (although the Required Lenders may
waive, in whole or in part, any such prepayment, repayment or commitment
reduction, so long as the application, as amongst the various Tranches, of any
such prepayment, repayment or commitment reduction which is still required to be
made is not altered), (x) without the consent of the Majority Lenders of the
respective Tranche affected thereby, amend the definition of Majority Lenders
(it being understood that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional
extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the
determination of the Majority Lenders on substantially the same basis as the
extensions of Loans and Commitments are included on the Effective Date), (y)
except in cases where additional extensions of term loans and/or revolving loans
are being afforded substantially the same treatment afforded to the Term Loans
and Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 1.14 (as originally in effect) and
except for technical amendments which are consistent with the intent of the
provisions of such Section and do not adversely affect the protections afforded
to the Lenders pursuant to said Section, without

amend, modify or waive any provisions of Section 1.14 or (z) without the consent
of the Supermajority Lenders of the respective Tranche, reduce the amount of or
extend the date of, any Tranche A Term Loan Scheduled Repayment or Tranche B
Term Loan Scheduled Repayment (except that, if additional Loans are made
pursuant to a given Tranche, the Scheduled Repayments of such Tranche may be
increased on a proportionate basis without the consent otherwise required by
this clause (z)), or amend the definition of Supermajority Lenders (it being
understood that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions
of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the
Supermajority Lenders on substantially the same basis as the extensions of Loans
and Commitments are included on the Effective Date). Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained above in this Section 13.12(a), the Administrative Agent
and/or the Collateral Agent shall be permitted to (i) enter into such amendments
and/or modifications to the Foreign Subsidiaries Guaranty and the Foreign
Security Documents entered into by any Columbian Subsidiary Guarantor as may be
required to give effect to the purposes of Section 8.24 and (ii) enter into such
amendments and/or modifications to the Foreign Subsidiaries Guaranty and the
Foreign Security Documents which may be required in the discretion of the
Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent which are of a technical nature
and/or are, in the judgment of the Collateral Agent, required by applicable law,
in the interests of the Secured Creditors or (in the case of Foreign Security
Documents) necessary or desirable to preserve, maintain, perfect and/or protect
the security interests purported to the granted by the respective Foreign
Security Documents.

                  (b)      If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver,
discharge or termination of or to any of the provisions of this Agreement as
contemplated by clauses (i) through (v), inclusive, of the first proviso to
Section 13.12(a), the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but the
consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not
obtained, then Holdings shall have the right, so long as all non-consenting
Lenders whose individual consent is required are treated as described in either
clause (A) or (B) below, to either (A) replace each such non-consenting Lender
or Lenders (or, at the option of Holdings if the respective Lender's consent is
required with respect to less than all Tranches (or related Commitments), to
replace only the respective Tranche or Tranches of Commitments (and related
Obligations) and/or Loans of the respective non-consenting Lender which gave
rise to the need to obtain such Lender's individual consent) with one or more
Replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 1.13 so long as at the time of such
replacement, each such Replacement Lender consents to the proposed change,
waiver, discharge or termination or (B) terminate each Tranche of Revolving Loan
Commitment of such non-consenting Lender (if such Lender's consent is required
as a result of such Tranche of its Revolving Loan Commitment), and/or repay
outstanding Obligations under each Tranche of such Lender which gave rise to the
need to obtain such Lender's consent, in accordance with Sections 3.02(b) and/or
4.01, provided that, unless the Commitments which are terminated and Loans and
other Obligations which are repaid pursuant to preceding clause (B) are
immediately replaced in full at such time through the addition of new Lenders or
the increase of the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans and of existing Lenders
(who in each case must specifically consent thereto), then in the case of any
action pursuant to preceding clause (B), the Required Lenders (determined both
(x) after giving effect to the proposed action and (y) as if the Commitments,
Loans and related Obligations being terminated and/or repaid (and not replaced)
were not outstanding) shall specifically consent thereto, provided further, that
Holdings shall not have the right to replace a Lender, terminate its Commitment
or repay its Loans or other Obligations solely as a result of the exercise of
such

                                     -225-

<PAGE>

Lender's rights (and the withholding of any required consent by such Lender)
pursuant to the second proviso to Section 13.12(a).

                  13.13 Survival. All indemnities set forth herein including,
without limitation, in Sections 1.10, 1.11, 2A.06, 2B.06, 4.04, 12.07, 13.01 and
13.17, shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making
and repayment of the Loans and the other Obligations.

                  13.14 Domicile of Loans and Commitments. Each Lender may
transfer and carry its Loans and/or Commitments at, to or for the account of any
branch office, subsidiary or affiliate of such Lender. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that a transfer of Loans
pursuant to this Section 13.14 would, at the time of such transfer, result in
increased costs under Section 1.10, 1.11, 2A.06, 2B.06 or 4.04 from those being
charged by the respective Lender prior to such transfer, then the Borrowers
shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrowers shall
be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above
resulting from changes after the date of the respective transfer).

                  13.15 Confidentiality. (a) Each of the Lenders agrees that it
will use its reasonable efforts not to disclose without the prior consent of any
Credit Agreement Party (other than to its directors, employees, auditors,
counsel or other professional advisors, to affiliates or to another Lender if
the Lender or such Lender's holding or parent company in its sole discretion
determines that any such party should have access to such information) any
information with respect to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries which is now or
in the future furnished pursuant to this Agreement; provided that any Lender may
disclose any such information (a) as has become generally available to the
public, (b) as may be required or appropriate (x) in any report, statement or
testimony submitted to any municipal, state or Federal regulatory body having or
claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lender or to the Federal Reserve Board
or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar organizations (whether
in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors or (y) in connection with
any request or requirement of any such regulatory body, (c) as may be required
or appropriate in response to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any
litigation, (d) to comply with any law, order, regulation or ruling applicable
to such Lender, and (e) to any creditor or any prospective transferee or
participant in connection with any contemplated transfer or participation of any
of the Obligations or any interest therein by such Lender; provided that such
creditor or prospective transferee or participant agrees to be bound by this
Section 13.15 to the same extent as such Lender.

                  (b)      Each Credit Agreement Party hereby acknowledges and
agrees that each Lender may share with any of its affiliates or its investment
advisors any information related to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries
(including, without limitation, any nonpublic customer information regarding the
creditworthiness of such entities), provided that such Persons shall be subject
to the provisions of this Section 13.15 to the same extent as such Lender and
shall only use such information in connection with matters relating to this
Agreement.

                  (c)      Each Credit Agreement Party hereby represents and
acknowledges that, to the best of its knowledge, neither any Agent nor any
Lender, nor any employees or agents of, or other persons affiliated with, any
Agent or any Lender, have directly or indirectly made or provided any statement
(oral or written) to such Credit Agreement Party or to any of its

                                     -226-

<PAGE>

employees or agents, or other persons affiliated with or related to such Credit
Agreement Party (or, so far as such Credit Agreement Party is aware, to any
other person), as to the potential tax consequences of the Transaction.

                  (d)      Neither the Agents nor the Lenders provide
accounting, tax or legal advice. Notwithstanding any express or implied claims
of exclusivity or proprietary rights, each Credit Agreement Party, each Agent
and each Lender hereby agree and acknowledge that each Credit Agreement Party,
each Agent and each Lender (and each of their employees, representatives or
other agents) are authorized to disclose to any and all persons, beginning
immediately upon commencement of their discussions and without limitation of any
kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the Transaction, and all materials
of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to any
Credit Agreement Party, any Agent or any Lender relating to such tax treatment
and tax structure. In this regard, each Credit Agreement Party, each Agent and
each Lender acknowledge and agree that the disclosure of the tax treatment and
tax structure of the Transaction is not limited in any way by an express or
implied understanding or agreement, oral or written (whether or not such
understanding or agreement is legally binding). For purposes of this
authorization, "tax" means United States Federal income tax, "tax treatment"
means the purported or claimed Federal income tax treatment of the transaction,
and "tax structure" means any fact that may be relevant to understanding the
purported or claimed Federal income tax treatment of the transaction. This
paragraph is intended to reflect the understanding of each Credit Agreement
Party, each Agent and each Lender that the Transaction is not a "confidential
transaction" as that phrase is used in Treasury Regulation Section
1.6011-4(b)(3)(i), and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.
Nothing herein is intended to imply that any of each Credit Agreement Party,
each Agent and each Lender made or provided a statement, oral or written, to, or
for the benefit of, any of each other as to any potential tax consequences that
are related to, or may result from, the Transaction.

                  13.16 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS
AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION,
PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE
OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

                  13.17 Register. The Borrowers hereby designate the
Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent agrees, to serve as the
Borrowers' agent, solely for purposes of this Section 13.17, to maintain a
register at one of its offices in New York, New York (the "Register") on which
it will record the Commitments from time to time of each of the Lenders, the
Loans made by each of the Lenders and each repayment in respect of the principal
amount of the Loans of each Lender. Failure to make any such recordation, or any
error in such recordation shall not affect the Borrowers' obligations in respect
of such Loans. With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the Commitments of
such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made
pursuant to such Commitments shall not be effective until such transfer is
recorded on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect to
ownership of such Commitments and/or Loans prior to such recordation all amounts
owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitments and/or Loans shall
remain owing to the transferor. The registration of an assignment or transfer of
all or part of any Commitments and/or Loans shall be recorded by the
Administrative Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by the

                                     -227-

<PAGE>

Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and
Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section 13.04(b). Coincident with the delivery
of such an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the Administrative Agent for
acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a
Commitment and/or Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or
transferor Lender shall surrender the Note evidencing such Commitment and/or
Loan, and thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount
shall be issued to the assigning or transferor Lender and/or the new Lender. The
Borrowers agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent from and against any and
all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature that may be
imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in
performing its duties under this Section 13.17.

                  13.18 English Language. This Agreement and all other Credit
Documents shall be in the English language, except as required by applicable
local law (in which event certified English translations thereof shall, upon the
request of the Administrative Agent, be provided by Holdings to the
Administrative Agent). All documents, certificates, reports or notices to be
delivered or communications to be given or made by any party hereto pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be in the English
language or, if originally written in another language, shall, upon request of
the Administrative Agent, be accompanied by an accurate English translation upon
which the other parties hereto shall have the right to rely for all purposes of
this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

                  13.19 Post Closing Actions. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, the parties
hereto acknowledge and agree that:

                  1.       Real Property. The actions relating to the Mortgages

Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office necessary to perfect the
security interest purported to be created by the U.S. Security Agreement. Not
later than the 7th day after the Initial Borrowing Date, Holdings and its
Subsidiaries shall have filed (or cause to have filed) all of such Financing
Statements (Form UCC-1) and any filings with the United States Patent and
Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office necessary to perfect the
security interest purported to be created by the U.S. Security Agreement.

                  3.       Actions by Various Foreign Subsidiaries Relating to
Security Documents. Holdings and its Subsidiaries shall be required to take the
actions specified in Part B of Schedule XIV as promptly as practicable, and in
any event within the time periods set forth in Part B of said Schedule XIV. The
provisions of Part B of said Schedule XIV shall be deemed incorporated by
reference herein as fully as if set forth herein in its entirety.

                  4.       Actions Relating to Foreign Asset Transfers. Holdings

provisions of Part C of said Schedule XIV shall be deemed incorporated by
reference herein as fully as if set forth herein in its entirety.

                  5.       Miscellaneous Actions By Various Subsidiaries of

within the time periods set forth in Part D of said Schedule XIV. The provisions
of Part D of said Schedule XIV shall be deemed incorporated by reference herein
as fully as if set forth herein in its entirety.

All provisions of this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents
(including, without limitation, all conditions precedent, representations,
warranties, covenants, events of default and other agreements herein and
therein) shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to effect the
foregoing (and to permit the taking of the actions described above within the
time periods required above, rather than as otherwise provided in the Credit
Documents); provided that (x) to the extent any representation and warranty
would not be true because the foregoing actions were not taken on the Initial
Borrowing Date the respective representation and warranty shall be required to
be true and correct in all material respects at the time the respective action
is taken (or was required to be taken) in accordance with the foregoing
provisions of this Section 13.19 and (y) all representations and warranties
relating to the Security Documents shall be required to be true immediately
after the actions required to be taken by this Section 13.19 have been taken (or
were required to be taken). The acceptance of the benefits of each Credit Event
shall constitute a covenant and agreement by each Credit Agreement Party to each
of the Lenders that the actions required pursuant to this Section 13.19 will be,
or have been, taken within the relevant time periods referred to in this Section
13.19 and that, at such time, all representations and warranties contained in
this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall then be true and
correct without any modification pursuant to this Section 13.19. The parties
hereto acknowledge and agree that the failure to take any of the actions
required above, within the relevant time periods required above, shall give rise
to an immediate Event of Default pursuant to this Agreement.

                  13.20 Special Provisions Regarding Pledges of Equity Interests
in, and Promissory Notes Owed by, Persons Not Organized in Qualified
Jurisdictions. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the provisions of
the various Security Documents executed and delivered by the Credit Parties
require that, among other things, all promissory notes executed by, and Equity
Interests in, various Persons owned by the respective Credit Party (to the
extent not constituting Excluded Collateral) be pledged, and delivered for
pledge, pursuant to the Security Documents. The parties hereto further
acknowledge and agree that each Credit Party shall be required to take all
actions under the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Credit Party is
organized to create and perfect all security interests granted pursuant to the
various Security Documents and to take all actions under the laws of each
Qualified Jurisdiction to perfect the security interests in the Equity Interests
of, and promissory notes issued by, any Person organized under the laws of said
jurisdictions (in each case, to the extent said Equity Interests or promissory
notes are owned by any Credit Party and do not constitute Excluded Collateral).
Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, to the extent any
Security Document requires or provides for the pledge of promissory notes issued
by, or Equity Interests in, any Person organized under the laws of a
jurisdiction other than those specified in the immediately

                                     -229-

<PAGE>

preceding sentence, it is acknowledged that, as of the Initial Borrowing Date,
no actions have been required to be taken to perfect, under local law of the
jurisdiction of the Person who issued the respective promissory notes or whose
Equity Interests are pledged, under the Security Documents. The Credit Agreement
Parties hereby agree that, following any request by the Administrative Agent or
Required Lenders to do so, each Credit Agreement Party shall, and shall cause
its Subsidiaries to, take such actions (including, without limitation, the
execution of Additional Security Documents, the making of any filings and the
delivery of appropriate legal opinions) under the local law of any jurisdiction
with respect to which such actions have not already been taken as are determined
by the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders to be necessary or desirable in
order to fully perfect, preserve or protect the security interests granted
pursuant to the various Security Documents under the laws of such jurisdictions.
If requested to do so pursuant to this Section 13.20, all such actions shall be
taken in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.20 and Section 8.11
and within the time periods set forth therein. All conditions and
representations contained in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall
be deemed modified to the extent necessary to effect the foregoing and so that
same are not violated by reason of the failure to take actions under local law
(but only with respect to Equity Interests in, and promissory notes issued by,
Persons organized under laws of jurisdictions other than Qualified
Jurisdictions) not required to be taken in accordance with the provisions of
this Section 13.20, provided that to the extent any representation or warranty
would not be true because the foregoing actions were not taken, the respective
representation of warranties shall be required to be true and correct in all
material respects at such time as the respective action is required to be taken
in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.20 or pursuant to
Section 8.11.

                  13.21 Powers of Attorney; etc. Each of Holdings and the U.S.
Borrower is hereby authorized by, and on behalf of, the Bermuda Borrower to give
Notices of Borrowing, Notices of Conversion and other notices and directions in
connection with the extensions of credit and repayments thereof to be made
pursuant to this Agreement to the Bermuda Borrower (including without limitation
notices as to the application of proceeds of such extensions of credit). The
Bermuda Borrower hereby grants to Holdings and the U.S. Borrower an irrevocable
power-of attorney, in the Bermuda Borrower's name, to take the actions
contemplated above in this Section 13.21 and in the last sentence of Section
1.13 hereof. Furthermore, the Bermuda Borrower agrees that the Agents and the
Lenders may at any time rely upon any notices, instructions or other information
furnished by Holdings or the U.S. Borrower.

                  13.22 Waiver of Sovereign Immunity. Each of the Credit
Agreement Parties, in respect of itself, its Subsidiaries, its process agents,
and its properties and revenues, hereby irrevocably agrees that, to the extent
that such Credit Agreement Party, its Subsidiaries or any of its properties has
or may hereafter acquire any right of immunity, whether characterized as
sovereign immunity or otherwise, from any legal proceedings, whether in the
United States, any other Qualified Jurisdiction or elsewhere, to enforce or
collect upon the Loans or any Credit Document or any other liability or
obligation of such Credit Agreement Party or any of its Subsidiaries related to
or arising from the transactions contemplated by any of the Credit Documents,
including, without limitation, immunity from service of process, immunity from
jurisdiction or judgment of any court or tribunal, immunity from execution of a
judgment, and immunity of any of its property from attachment prior to any entry
of judgment, or from attachment in aid of execution upon a judgment, such Credit
Agreement Party, for itself and on

                                     -230-

<PAGE>

behalf of its Subsidiaries, hereby expressly waives, to the fullest extent
permissible under applicable law, any such immunity, and agrees not to assert
any such right or claim in any such proceeding, whether in the United States,
any other Qualified Jurisdiction, or elsewhere. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, each Credit Agreement Party further agrees that the waivers
set forth in this Section 13.22 shall have the fullest extent permitted under
the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 of the United States and are
intended to be irrevocable for purposes of such Act.

                  13.23 Judgment Currency. (a) The Credit Parties' obligations
hereunder and under the other Credit Documents to make payments in the
respective Applicable Currency (the "Obligation Currency") shall not be
discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment
expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency,
except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective
receipt by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the respective
Lender of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to
the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender under this
Agreement or the other Credit Documents. If for the purpose of obtaining or
enforcing judgment against any Credit Party in any court or in any jurisdiction,
it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the
Obligation Currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the
"Judgment Currency") an amount due in the Obligation Currency, the conversion
shall be made, at the Euro Equivalent or the Dollar Equivalent thereof, as the
case may be, and, in the case of other currencies, the rate of exchange (as
quoted by the Administrative Agent or if the Administrative Agent does not quote
a rate of exchange on such currency, by a known dealer in such currency
designated by the Administrative Agent) determined, in each case, as of the day
on which the judgment is given (such day being hereinafter referred to as the
"Judgment Currency Conversion Date").

                  (b)      If there is a change in the rate of exchange
prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual
payment of the amount due, each Borrower covenants and agrees to pay, or cause
to be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser
amount), as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment
Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of
payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have
been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment
or judicial award at the rate or exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency
Conversion Date.

                  (c)      For purposes of determining the Dollar Equivalent or
the Euro Equivalent or any other rate of exchange for this Section, such amounts
shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of
the Obligation Currency.

                  13.24 Special Acknowledgments. By their execution and delivery
hereof, the Lenders party hereto hereby acknowledge (i) that the guarantee of
each Bermuda Partnership Partner made pursuant to the U.S. Subsidiaries Guaranty
is limited to the Obligations of the U.S. Borrower under the Credit Documents
and the obligations of the U.S. Borrower and its Domestic Subsidiaries under
Interest Rate Protection Agreements and Other Hedging Agreements with Lenders
and/or their affiliates, all on the terms as more specifically provided therein,
(ii) the Bermuda Partnership has not entered into any Credit Documents and, as
such, is not a Credit

                                     -231-

<PAGE>

Party (but is otherwise subject to the provisions of Section 9.01(c)) and (iii)
the obligations secured pursuant to the Security Documents are not secured by
any Excluded Collateral.

                  SECTION 14. Holdings Guaranty.

                  14.01 The Guaranty. In order to induce the Lenders to enter
into this Agreement and to extend credit hereunder and to induce the Lenders or
any of their respective Affiliates to enter into Interest Rate Protection
Agreements or Other Hedging Agreements, and in recognition of the direct
benefits to be received by Holdings from the proceeds of the Loans, the issuance
of the Letters of Credit and Bank Guaranties and the entering into of Interest
Rate Protection Agreements or Other Hedging Agreements, Holdings hereby agrees
with the Lenders as follows: Holdings hereby unconditionally and irrevocably
guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety the full and prompt
payment when due, whether upon maturity, acceleration or otherwise, of any and
all of the Holdings Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors. If any
or all of the Holdings Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors
becomes due and payable hereunder, Holdings unconditionally promises to pay such
indebtedness to the Guaranteed Creditors, or order, on demand, together with any
and all expenses which may be incurred by the Guaranteed Creditors in collecting
any of the Holdings Guaranteed Obligations. This Holdings Guaranty is a guaranty
of payment and not of collection. This Holdings Guaranty is a continuing one and
all liabilities to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be
conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon. If claim is ever
made upon any Guaranteed Creditor for repayment or recovery of any amount or
amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Holdings Guaranteed
Obligations and any of the aforesaid payees repays all or part of said amount by
reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body
having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property or (ii) any
settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such payee with any such
claimant (including the Borrowers and any other Holdings Guaranteed Party), then
and in such event Holdings agrees that any such judgment, decree, order,
settlement or compromise shall be binding upon Holdings, notwithstanding any
revocation of this Holdings Guaranty or any other instrument evidencing any
liability of either Borrower or any other Holdings Guaranteed Party, and
Holdings shall be and remain liable to the aforesaid payees hereunder for the
amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never
originally been received by any such payee.

                  14.02 Bankruptcy. Additionally, Holdings unconditionally and
irrevocably guarantees the payment of any and all of the Holdings Guaranteed
Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors whether or not due or payable by either
Borrower or any other Holdings Guaranteed Party upon the occurrence of any of
the events specified in Section 10.05, and unconditionally promises to pay such
indebtedness to the Guaranteed Creditors, or order, on demand.

                  14.03 Nature of Liability. The liability of Holdings hereunder
is exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the
Holdings Guaranteed Obligations whether executed by Holdings, any other
guarantor or by any other party, and the liability of Holdings hereunder is not
affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by either
Borrower, any other Holdings Guaranteed Party or any other party, or (b) any
other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a
guarantor or of any other party as to the Holdings Guaranteed Obligations, or
(c) any payment on or in reduction of any

                                     -232-

<PAGE>

such other guaranty or undertaking, or (d) any dissolution, termination or
increase, decrease or change in personnel by either Borrower or any other
Holdings Guaranteed Party, or (e) any payment made to the Guaranteed Creditors
on the Holdings Guaranteed Obligations which any such Guaranteed Creditor repays
to either Borrower or any other Holdings Guaranteed Party pursuant to court
order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor
relief proceeding, and Holdings waives any right to the deferral or modification
of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding, or (f) any action
or inaction of the type described in Section 14.05, or (g) the lack of validity
or enforceability of any Credit Document or any other instrument relating
thereto.

                  14.04 Independent Obligation. No invalidity, irregularity or
unenforceability of all or any part of the Holdings Guaranteed Obligations or of
any security therefor shall affect, impair or be a defense to this Holdings
Guaranty, and this Holdings Guaranty shall be primary, absolute and
unconditional notwithstanding the occurrence of any event or the existence of
any other circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge of
a surety or guarantor except payment in full in cash of the Holdings Guaranteed
Obligations. The obligations of Holdings hereunder are independent of the
obligations of either Borrower, any other Holdings Guaranteed Party, any other
guarantor or any other party and a separate action or actions may be brought and
prosecuted against Holdings whether or not action is brought against either
Borrower, any other Holdings Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other
party and whether or not either Borrower, any other Holdings Guaranteed Party,
any other guarantor or any other party be joined in any such action or actions.
Holdings waives, to the full extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute
of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any
payment by a Borrower or any other Holdings Guaranteed Party or other
circumstance that operates to toll any statute of limitations as to such
Borrower or such other Holdings Guaranteed Party shall operate to toll the
statute of limitations as to Holdings.

                  14.05 Authorization. Holdings authorizes the Guaranteed
Creditors without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable
statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability
hereunder, from time to time to:

                  (a)      change the manner, place or terms of payment of,
         and/or change or extend the time of payment of, renew, increase,
         accelerate or alter, any of the Holdings Guaranteed Obligations
         (including any increase or decrease in the rate of interest thereon),
         any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly
         in respect thereof, and this Holdings Guaranty made shall apply to the
         Holdings Guaranteed Obligations as so changed, extended, renewed,
         increased or altered;

                  (b)      take and hold security for the payment of the
         Holdings Guaranteed Obligations and sell, exchange, release, impair,
         surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any
         order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to
         secure, or howsoever securing, the Holdings Guaranteed Obligations or
         any liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or
         indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and/or any offset
         thereagainst;

                  (c)      exercise or refrain from exercising any rights
         against either Borrower, any other Holdings Guaranteed Party or others
         or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

                                     -233-

<PAGE>

                  (d)      release or substitute any one or more endorsers,
         guarantors, either Borrower, any other Holdings Guaranteed Party or
         other obligors;

                  (e)      settle or compromise any of the Holdings Guaranteed
         Obligations, any security therefor or any liability (including any of
         those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or
         hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to
         the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of either Borrower or
         any other Holdings Guaranteed Party to their respective creditors other
         than the Guaranteed Creditors;

                  (f)      apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever
         realized to any liability or liabilities of either Borrower or any
         other Holdings Guaranteed Party to the Guaranteed Creditors regardless
         of what liability or liabilities of such Borrower or such other
         Holdings Guaranteed Party remain unpaid;

                  (g)      consent to or waive any breach of, or any act,
         omission or default under, this Agreement, any other Credit Document,
         any Interest Rate Protection Agreement or Other Hedging Agreement or
         any of the instruments or agreements referred to herein or therein, or
         otherwise amend, modify or supplement this Agreement, any other Credit
         Document, any Interest Rate Protection Agreement or Other Hedging
         Agreement or any of such other instruments or agreements; and/or

                  (h)      take any other action that would, under otherwise
         applicable principles of common law, give rise to a legal or equitable
         discharge of Holdings from its liabilities under this Holdings
         Guaranty.

                  14.06 Reliance. It is not necessary for the Guaranteed
Creditors to inquire into the capacity or powers of either Borrower or any other
Holdings Guaranteed Party or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting
or purporting to act on their behalf, and any Holdings Guaranteed Obligations
made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be
guaranteed hereunder.

                  14.07 Subordination. Any of the indebtedness of either
Borrower or any other Holdings Guaranteed Party now or hereafter owing to
Holdings is hereby subordinated to the Holdings Guaranteed Obligations of such
Borrower or such other Holdings Guaranteed Party owing to the Guaranteed
Creditors; and if the Administrative Agent so requests at a time when an Event
of Default exists, all such indebtedness of such Borrower or such other Holdings
Guaranteed Party to Holdings shall be collected, enforced and received by
Holdings for the benefit of the Guaranteed Creditors and be paid over to the
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Guaranteed Creditors on account of the
Holdings Guaranteed Obligations of such Borrower or such Holdings Guaranteed
Party to the Guaranteed Creditors, but without affecting or impairing in any
manner the liability of Holdings under the other provisions of this Holdings
Guaranty. Prior to the transfer by Holdings of any note or negotiable instrument
evidencing any of the indebtedness of either Borrower or any other Holdings
Guaranteed Party to Holdings, Holdings shall mark such note or negotiable
instrument with a legend that the same is subject to this subordination. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Holdings hereby agrees with the
Guaranteed Creditors that it will not exercise any right of subrogation which it
may at

                                     -234-

<PAGE>

any time otherwise have as a result of this Holdings Guaranty (whether
contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) until all
Holdings Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full in cash.

                  14.08 Waiver. (a) Holdings waives any right (except as shall
be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require any
Guaranteed Creditor to (i) proceed against either Borrower, any other Holdings
Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against
or exhaust any security held from either Borrower, any other Holdings Guaranteed
Party, any other guarantor or any other party or (iii) pursue any other remedy
in any Guaranteed Creditor's power whatsoever. Holdings waives any defense based
on or arising out of any defense of either Borrower, any other Holdings
Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party, other than payment in
full in cash of the Holdings Guaranteed Obligations, based on or arising out of
the disability of either Borrower, any other Holdings Guaranteed Party, any
other guarantor or any other party, or the unenforceability of the Holdings
Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from
any cause of the liability of either Borrower or any other Holdings Guaranteed
Party other than payment in full in cash of the Holdings Guaranteed Obligations.
The Guaranteed Creditors may, at their election, foreclose on any security held
by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Guaranteed
Creditor by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every
aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is
permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the
Guaranteed Creditors may have against either Borrower, any other Holdings
Guaranteed Party or any other party, or any security, without affecting or
impairing in any way the liability of Holdings hereunder except to the extent
the Holdings Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in cash. Holdings
waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Guaranteed Creditors,
even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of
reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of Holdings against either
Borrower, any other Holdings Guaranteed Party or any other party or any
security.

                  (b)      Holdings waives all presentments, demands for
performance, protests and notices, including, without limitation, notices of
nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance
of this Holdings Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring
of new or additional Holdings Guaranteed Obligations. Holdings assumes all
responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each Borrower's and each
other Holdings Guaranteed Party's financial condition and assets, and of all
other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Holdings
Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which
Holdings assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that the Guaranteed Creditors
shall have no duty to advise Holdings of information known to them regarding
such circumstances or risks.

                  (c)      Until such time as the Holdings Guaranteed
Obligations have been paid in full in cash, Holdings hereby waives all rights of
subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Holdings
Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code, or
otherwise) to the claims of the Guaranteed Creditors against either Borrower,
any other Holdings Guaranteed Party or any other guarantor of the Holdings
Guaranteed Obligations and all contractual, statutory or common law rights of
reimbursement, contribution or indemnity from either Borrower, any other
Holdings Guaranteed Party or any other guarantor which it may at any time
otherwise have as a result of this Holdings Guaranty.

                                     -235-

<PAGE>

                  (d)      Holdings hereby acknowledges and affirms that it
understands that to the extent the Holdings Guaranteed Obligations are secured
by Real Property located in California, Holdings shall be liable for the full
amount of the liability hereunder notwithstanding the foreclosure on such Real
Property by trustee sale or any other reason impairing Holdings' or any
Guaranteed Creditor's right to proceed against either Borrower, any other
Holdings Guaranteed Party or any other guarantor of the Holdings Guaranteed
Obligations. In accordance with Section 2856 of the California Code of Civil
Procedure, Holdings hereby waives:

                  (i)      all rights of subrogation, reimbursement,
         indemnification, and contribution and any other rights and defenses
         that are or may become available to Holdings by reason of Sections 2787
         to 2855, inclusive, 2899 and 3433 of the California Code of Civil
         Procedure;

                  (ii)     all rights and defenses that Holdings may have
         because the Holdings Guaranteed Obligations are secured by Real
         Property located in California, meaning, among other things, that: (A)
         the Guaranteed Creditors may collect from Holdings without first
         foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by
         either Borrower or any other Credit Party, and (B) if the Guaranteed
         Creditors foreclose on any Real Property collateral pledged by either
         Borrower or any other Credit Party, (1) the amount of the Holdings
         Guaranteed Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that
         collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is
         worth more than the sale price, and (2) the Guaranteed Creditors may
         collect from Holdings even if the Guaranteed Creditors, by foreclosing
         on the Real Property collateral, have destroyed any right Holdings may
         have to collect from either Borrower or any other Holdings Guaranteed
         Party, it being understood that this is an unconditional and
         irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses Holdings may have because
         the Holdings Guaranteed Obligations are secured by Real Property
         (including, without limitation, any rights or defenses based upon
         Section 580a, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure);
         and

                  (iii)    all rights and defenses arising out of an election of
         remedies by the Guaranteed Creditors, even though that election of
         remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security
         for the Holdings Guaranteed Obligations, has destroyed Holdings' rights
         of subrogation and reimbursement against either Borrower or any other
         Holdings Guaranteed Party by the operation of Section 580d of the
         California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.

                  (e)      Holdings warrants and agrees that each of the waivers
set forth above is made with full knowledge of its significance and consequences
and that if any of such waivers are determined to be contrary to any applicable
law of public policy, such waivers shall be effective only to the maximum extent
permitted by law.

                  14.09 Payments. All payments made by Holdings pursuant to this
Section 14 shall be made in the respective Applicable Currency in which the
Holdings Guaranteed Obligations are then due and payable (giving effect, in the
circumstances contemplated by Section 1.14, to any conversion occurring pursuant
thereto). All payments made by Holdings

                                     -236-

<PAGE>

pursuant to this Section 14 will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other
defense, and shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 4.03, 4.04 and
13.23.

                  SECTION 15. U.S. Borrower's Guaranty.

                  15.01 The U.S. Borrower's Guaranty. In order to induce the
Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit hereunder and to
induce the Lenders or any of their respective Affiliates to enter into Interest
Rate Protection Agreements or Other Hedging Agreements, and in recognition of
the direct benefits to be received by the U.S. Borrower from the proceeds of the
Loans, the issuance of the Letters of Credit and Bank Guaranties and the
entering into of Interest Rate Protection Agreements or Other Hedging
Agreements, the U.S. Borrower hereby agrees with the Lenders as follows: the
U.S. Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary
obligor and not merely as surety the full and prompt payment when due, whether
upon maturity, acceleration or otherwise, of any and all of the U.S. Borrower
Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors. If any or all of the U.S.
Borrower Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors becomes due and
payable hereunder, the U.S. Borrower unconditionally promises to pay such
indebtedness to the Guaranteed Creditors, or order, on demand, together with any
and all expenses which may be incurred by the Guaranteed Creditors in collecting
any of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations. This U.S. Borrower's Guaranty
is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. This U.S. Borrower's Guaranty is
a continuing one and all liabilities to which it applies or may apply under the
terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance
hereon. If claim is ever made upon any Guaranteed Creditor for repayment or
recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of
the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations and any of the aforesaid payees repays
all or part of said amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any
court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its
property or (ii) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such
payee with any such claimant (including the Bermuda Borrower or any other U.S.
Borrower Guaranteed Party), then and in such event the U.S. Borrower agrees that
any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon
the U.S. Borrower, notwithstanding any revocation of this U.S. Borrower's
Guaranty or any other instrument evidencing any liability of the Bermuda
Borrower or any U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party, and the U.S. Borrower shall be
and remain liable to the aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or
recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been
received by any such payee.

                  15.02 Bankruptcy. Additionally, the U.S. Borrower
unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees the payment of any and all of the
U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors whether or not
due or payable by the Bermuda Borrower or any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed
Party upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 10.05, and
unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Guaranteed Creditors,
or order, on demand.

                  15.03 Nature of Liability. The liability of the U.S. Borrower
hereunder is exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of
the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations whether executed by the U.S. Borrower,
any other guarantor or by any other party, and the liability of the U.S.
Borrower hereunder is not affected or impaired by (a) any direction

                                     -237-

<PAGE>

as to application of payment by the Bermuda Borrower, any other U.S. Borrower
Guaranteed Party or any other party, or (b) any other continuing or other
guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party
as to the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations, or (c) any payment on or in
reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking, or (d) any dissolution,
termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by the Bermuda Borrower
or any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party or (e) any payment made to the
Guaranteed Creditors on the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations which any such
Guaranteed Creditor repays to the Bermuda Borrower or any other U.S. Borrower
Guaranteed Party pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and the U.S. Borrower
waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by
reason of any such proceeding, or (f) any action or inaction of the type
described in Section 15.05, or (g) the lack of validity or enforceability of any
Credit Document or any other instrument relating thereto.

                  15.04 Independent Obligation. No invalidity, irregularity or
unenforceability of all or any part of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations
or of any security therefor shall affect, impair or be a defense to this U.S.
Borrower's Guaranty, and this U.S. Borrower's Guaranty shall be primary,
absolute and unconditional notwithstanding the occurrence of any event or the
existence of any other circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable
discharge of a surety or guarantor except payment in full in cash of the U.S.
Borrower Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of the U.S. Borrower hereunder
are independent of the obligations of the Bermuda Borrower, any other U.S.
Borrower Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party, and a
separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the U.S.
Borrower whether or not action is brought against the Bermuda Borrower, any
other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party and
whether or not the Bermuda Borrower, any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party,
any other guarantor or any other party be joined in any such action or actions.
The U.S. Borrower waives, to the full extent permitted by law, the benefit of
any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement
thereof. Any payment by the Bermuda Borrower or any other U.S. Borrower
Guaranteed Party or other circumstance that operates to toll any statute of
limitations as to the Bermuda Borrower or such other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed
Party shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to the U.S. Borrower.

                  15.05 Authorization. The U.S. Borrower authorizes the
Guaranteed Creditors without notice or demand (except as shall be required by
applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its
liability hereunder, from time to time to:

                  (a)      change the manner, place or terms of payment of,
         and/or change or extend the time of payment of, renew, increase,
         accelerate or alter, any of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations
         (including any increase or decrease in the rate of interest thereon),
         any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly
         in respect thereof, and this U.S. Borrower's Guaranty made shall apply
         to the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations as so changed, extended,
         renewed, increased or altered;

                  (b)      take and hold security for the payment of the U.S.
         Borrower Guaranteed Obligations and sell, exchange, release, impair,
         surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any
         order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or

                                     -238-

<PAGE>

         mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, the U.S. Borrower
         Guaranteed Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those
         hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or
         hereof, and/or any offset thereagainst;

                  (c)      exercise or refrain from exercising any rights
         against the Bermuda Borrower, any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party
         or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

                  (d)      release or substitute any one or more endorsers,
         guarantors, the Bermuda Borrower, any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed
         Party or other obligors;

                  (e)      settle or compromise any of the U.S. Borrower
         Guaranteed Obligations, any security therefor or any liability
         (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in
         respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or
         any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not)
         of the Bermuda Borrower or any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party to
         their respective creditors other than the Guaranteed Creditors;

                  (f)      apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever
         realized to any liability or liabilities of the Bermuda Borrower or any
         other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party to the Guaranteed Creditors
         regardless of what liability or liabilities of the Bermuda Borrower or
         such other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party remain unpaid;

                  (g)      consent to or waive any breach of, or any act,
         omission or default under, this Agreement, any other Credit Document,
         any Interest Rate Protection Agreement or Other Hedging Agreement or
         any of the instruments or agreements referred to herein or therein, or
         otherwise amend, modify or supplement this Agreement, any other Credit
         Document, any Interest Rate Protection Agreement or Other Hedging
         Agreement or any of such other instruments or agreements; and/or

                  (h)      take any other action that would, under otherwise
         applicable principles of common law, give rise to a legal or equitable
         discharge of the U.S. Borrower from its liabilities under this U.S.
         Borrower's Guaranty.

                  15.06 Reliance. It is not necessary for the Guaranteed
Creditors to inquire into the capacity or powers of the Bermuda Borrower or any
other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party or the officers, directors, partners or
agents acting or purporting to act on its or their behalf, and any U.S. Borrower
Guaranteed Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise
of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

                  15.07 Subordination. Any of the indebtedness of the Bermuda
Borrower or any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party now or hereafter owing to
the U.S. Borrower is hereby subordinated to the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed
Obligations of the Bermuda Borrower or such other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party
owing to the Guaranteed Creditors; and if the Administrative Agent so requests
at a time when an Event of Default exists, all such indebtedness of the Bermuda
Borrower or such other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party to the U.S. Borrower shall
be collected, enforced and received by the U.S. Borrower for the benefit of the
Guaranteed Creditors and be paid over to the Administrative Agent on behalf of
the

                                     -239-

<PAGE>

Guaranteed Creditors on account of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations of
the Bermuda Borrower or such other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party to the
Guaranteed Creditors, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the
liability of the U.S. Borrower under the other provisions of this U.S.
Borrower's Guaranty. Prior to the transfer by the U.S. Borrower of any note or
negotiable instrument evidencing any of the indebtedness of the Bermuda Borrower
or any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party to the U.S. Borrower, the U.S.
Borrower shall mark such note or negotiable instrument with a legend that the
same is subject to this subordination. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the U.S. Borrower hereby agrees with the Guaranteed Creditors that it
will not exercise any right of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise
have as a result of this U.S. Borrower's Guaranty (whether contractual, under
Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) until all U.S. Borrower
Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full in cash.

                  15.08 Waiver. (a) The U.S. Borrower waives any right (except
as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require any
Guaranteed Creditor to (i) proceed against the Bermuda Borrower, any other U.S.
Borrower Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed
against or exhaust any security held from the Bermuda Borrower, any other U.S.
Borrower Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party or (iii)
pursue any other remedy in any Guaranteed Creditor's power whatsoever. The U.S.
Borrower waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the
Bermuda Borrower, any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor
or any other party, other than payment in full in cash of the U.S. Borrower
Guaranteed Obligations, based on or arising out of the disability of the Bermuda
Borrower, any other Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party, or
the unenforceability of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations or any part
thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the
Bermuda Borrower or any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party other than payment
in full in cash of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations. The Guaranteed
Creditors may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Guaranteed Creditor by
one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any
such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by
applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Guaranteed Creditors
may have against the Bermuda Borrower, any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party
or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way
the liability of the U.S. Borrower hereunder except to the extent the U.S.
Borrower Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in cash. The U.S.
Borrower waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Guaranteed
Creditors, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right
of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of the U.S. Borrower
against the Bermuda Borrower, any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party or any
other party or any security.

                  (b)      The U.S. Borrower waives all presentments, demands
for performance, protests and notices, including, without limitation, notices of
nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance
of this U.S. Borrower's Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or
incurring of new or additional U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations. The U.S.
Borrower assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the
Bermuda Borrower's and each other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party's financial
condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of
nonpayment of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and
extent of the risks which the U.S. Borrower assumes and

                                     -240-

incurs hereunder, and agrees that the Guaranteed Creditors shall have no duty to
advise the U.S. Borrower of information known to them regarding such
circumstances or risks.

                  (c)      Until such time as the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed
Obligations have been paid in full in cash, the U.S. Borrower hereby waives all
rights of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of
this U.S. Borrower's Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the
Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise) to the claims of the Guaranteed Creditors against
the Bermuda Borrower, any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party or any other
guarantor of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations and all contractual,
statutory or common law rights of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity from
the Bermuda Borrower, any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party or any other
guarantor which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this U.S.
Borrower's Guaranty.

                  (d)      The U.S. Borrower hereby acknowledges and affirms
that it understands that to the extent the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations
are secured by Real Property located in California, the U.S. Borrower shall be
liable for the full amount of the liability hereunder notwithstanding the
foreclosure on such Real Property by trustee sale or any other reason impairing
the U.S. Borrower's or any Guaranteed Creditor's right to proceed against any
U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party or any other guarantor of the U.S. Borrower
Guaranteed Obligations. In accordance with Section 2856 of the California Code
of Civil Procedure, the U.S. Borrower hereby waives:

                  (i)      all rights of subrogation, reimbursement,
         indemnification, and contribution and any other rights and defenses
         that are or may become available to the U.S. Borrower by reason of
         Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, 2899 and 3433 of the California Code
         of Civil Procedure;

                  (ii)     all rights and defenses that the U.S. Borrower may
         have because the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations are secured by
         Real Property located in California, meaning, among other things, that:
         (A) the Guaranteed Creditors may collect from the U.S. Borrower without
         first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged
         by any Credit Party, and (B) if the Guaranteed Creditors foreclose on
         any Real Property collateral pledged by any Credit Party, (1) the
         amount of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations may be reduced only
         by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale,
         even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (2) the
         Guaranteed Creditors may collect from the U.S. Borrower even if the
         Guaranteed Creditors, by foreclosing on the Real Property collateral,
         have destroyed any right the U.S. Borrower may have to collect from any
         U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party, it being understood that this is an
         unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses the
         U.S. Borrower may have because the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations
         are secured by Real Property (including, without limitation, any rights
         or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580d or 726 of the California Code
         of Civil Procedure); and

                  (iii)    all rights and defenses arising out of an election of
         remedies by the Guaranteed Creditors, even though that election of
         remedies, such as a non-judicial foreclosure with respect to security
         for the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations, has destroyed the U.S.
         Borrower' rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any U.S.

         Borrower Guaranteed Party by the operation of Section 580d of the
         California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.

                  (e)      The U.S. Borrower warrants and agrees that each of
the waivers set forth above is made with full knowledge of its significance and
consequences and that if any of such waivers are determined to be contrary to
any applicable law of public policy, such waivers shall be effective only to the
maximum extent permitted by law.

                  15.09 Payments. All payments made by the U.S. Borrower
pursuant to this Section 15 shall be made in the respective Applicable Currency
in which the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations are then due and payable
(giving effect, in the circumstances contemplated by Section 1.14, to any
conversion occurring pursuant thereto). All payments made by the U.S. Borrower
pursuant to this Section 15 will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other
defense, and shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 4.03, 4.04 and
13.23.
