Maturity Date and the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments in an

making Swingline Loans to the Borrower. Swingline Loans may be made
notwithstanding the fact that such Swingline Loans, when aggregated with the
Swingline Lender's outstanding Revolving Loans, Revolving L/C Exposure and

Commitment. The original amount of the Swingline Loan Commitment is $20,000,000.
The Swingline Loan Commitment shall expire on the date the Revolving Credit
Commitments are terminated and all Swingline Loans and all other amounts owed
hereunder with respect to Swingline Loans shall be paid in full no later than
that date. The Borrower shall give the Swingline Lender telephonic, written or

time, on the day of a proposed borrowing. Such notice shall be delivered on a
Business Day, shall be irrevocable and shall refer to this Agreement and shall
specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of such
Swingline Loan. The Swingline Lender shall give the Administrative Agent, which
shall in turn give to each Lender, prompt written or telecopy advice of any
notice received from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph.

     (ii) In no event shall (A) the aggregate principal amount of Swingline
Loans outstanding at any time exceed the aggregate Swingline Loan Commitment in
effect at such time, (B) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure at any time
exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment at such time or (C) the aggregate
Swingline Loan Commitment exceed at any time the aggregate Revolving Credit
Commitments in effect at such time. Swingline Loans may only be made as ABR

     (iii) With respect to any Swingline Loans that have not been voluntarily
prepaid by the Borrower, the Swingline Lender (by request to the Administrative
Agent) or Administrative Agent at any time may, in its sole discretion, on one
Business Day's notice, require each Revolving Credit Lender, including the
Swingline Lender, and each such Lender hereby agrees, subject to the provisions
of this Section 2.01(c), to make a Revolving Loan (which shall be funded as an
ABR Loan) in an amount equal to such Lender's Applicable Percentage of the
amount of the Swingline Loans ("Refunded Swingline Loans") outstanding on the
date notice is given which the Swingline Lender requests the Lenders to prepay.

     (iv) In the case of Revolving Loans made by Lenders other than the
Swingline Lender under the immediately preceding paragraph (iii), each such
Lender shall make the amount of its Revolving Loan available to the
Administrative Agent, in same day funds, at the office of the Administrative
Agent located at 31 West 52nd Street, New York, New York, not later than 1:00
p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day next succeeding the date such
notice is given. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be immediately
delivered to the Swingline Lender (and not to the Borrower) and applied to repay
the Refunded Swingline Loans. On the day such Revolving Loans are made, the
Swingline Lender's Applicable Percentage of the Refunded Swingline Loans shall


                                       36
<PAGE>

be deemed to be paid with the proceeds of a Revolving Loan made by the Swingline
Lender and such portion of the Swingline Loans deemed to be so paid shall no
longer be outstanding as Swingline Loans and shall be outstanding as a Revolving
Loan of the Swingline Lender. The Borrower authorizes the Administrative Agent
and the Swingline Lender to charge the Borrower's account with the
Administrative Agent (up to the amount available in such account) in order to
pay immediately to the Swingline Lender the amount of such Refunded Swingline
Loans to the extent amounts received from Lenders, including amounts deemed to
be received from the Swingline Lender, are not sufficient to repay in full such
Refunded Swingline Loans. If any portion of any such amount paid (or deemed to
be paid) to the Swingline Lender should be recovered by or on behalf of the
Borrower from the Swingline Lender in bankruptcy, by assignment for the benefit
of creditors or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably
shared among all Lenders in the manner contemplated by Section 2.17. Subject to
the compliance by the Swingline Lender with the provisions of subparagraph (vii)
below, each Lender's obligation to make the Revolving Loans referred to in this
paragraph shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or
other right that such Lender may have against the Swingline Lender, the Borrower
or any other person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance
of an Event of Default or a Default; (C) any adverse change in the condition
(financial or otherwise) of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries; (D) any breach
of this Agreement by Holdings, the Borrower or any other Lender; or (E) any
other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any
of the foregoing. Nothing in this Section 2.01(c) shall be deemed to relieve any
Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice
any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any
default by such Lender hereunder.

     (v) A copy of each notice given by the Swingline Lender or the
Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.01(c) shall be promptly
delivered by the Swingline Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.
Upon the making of a Revolving Loan by a Lender pursuant to this Section
2.01(c), the amount so funded shall no longer be owed in respect of Swingline
Loans.

     (vi) To the extent any Swingline Loans are outstanding on any date when one
of the events described in Section 7.01(h) or (i) shall have occurred, each
Revolving Credit Lender will, on such date, purchase an undivided participating
interest in the Refunded Swingline Loans (determined as if the notice specified
in clause (c)(iii) of this Section 2.01 had in fact been given with respect to
all then outstanding Swingline Loans) in an amount equal to its Applicable
Percentage of such Refunded Swingline Loans. Each such Lender will immediately
transfer to the Swingline Lender in immediately available funds, the amount of
its participation. Upon one Business Day's notice from the Swingline Lender,
each Revolving Credit Lender shall deliver to the Swingline Lender an amount
equal to its respective participation in same day funds at the office of the
Swingline Lender in New York, New York. In order to evidence such participation
each Revolving Credit Lender agrees to enter into a participation agreement at
the request of the Swingline Lender in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to all parties. In the event any Revolving Credit Lender fails to
make available to the Swingline Lender the amount of such Revolving Credit
Lender's participation as provided in this Section 2.01(c), the Swingline Lender
shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Credit
Lender together with interest at the customary rate set by the Swingline Lender


                                       37
<PAGE>

for correction of errors among banks in New York City for one Business Day and
thereafter at the Alternate Base Rate plus the ABR Margin then in effect as set
forth on Schedule A.

     (vii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Swingline Lender
shall not make any Swingline Loans at any time the Swingline Lender is aware
that the conditions to the making of such Swingline Loan set forth in Section
4.01 have not been satisfied unless such conditions shall have been waived in
accordance with this Agreement.

     (d) Within the limits set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) above, (x) the
Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay (including pursuant to a refinancing
permitted by Section 2.02(f)) and reborrow Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans
on or after the Closing Date and prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date
subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein. Amounts paid
or prepaid in respect of Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

     SECTION 2.02. Loans. (a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing
consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their
applicable Commitments; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to
make any Loan shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend
hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for
the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such
other Lender). The Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate
principal amount which is (i) an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (or, in the
case of Swingline Loans, $500,000) and not less than $2,000,000 (or, in the case
of Swingline Loans, $500,000) or (ii) equal to the remaining available balance
of the applicable Commitments, provided that Revolving Loans used to pay
Refunded Swingline Loans may be in the amount of such Refunded Swingline Loans.

     (b) Subject to Sections 2.08 and 2.14, each Borrowing shall be comprised
entirely of ABR Loans or (except in the case of Swingline Loans or as set forth
in the second proviso to this sentence) Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may
request pursuant to Section 2.03. Each Lender may at its option make any
Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such
Lender to make such Loan, provided that any exercise of such option shall not
affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement and such Lender shall not be entitled to any amounts
payable under Section 2.13 or Section 2.19 in respect of increased costs arising
as a result of such exercise, provided, further, that prior to the earlier of
(x) the 45th day after the Closing Date and (y) the Syndication Date, the
following restrictions shall apply to each Tranche: (I) no Loans may be incurred
as Eurodollar Loans prior to the fifth day after the Closing Date and (II) no
more than one borrowing of Revolving Loans and one borrowing under each Tranche
of Term Loans may be incurred as Eurodollar Loans, each of which borrowings of
Eurodollar Loans shall be incurred (whether directly or by way of conversion of
ABR Loans) on the fifth day after the Closing Date and have a one month Interest
Period (it being understood that if the one month Interest Period with respect
to the Eurodollar Loans described in clause (II) above shall have ended prior to
the occurrence of the Syndication Date, the Borrower may continue such
Eurodollar Borrowing (and may on the first day of the respective Interest Period
convert any outstanding ABR Loans into Eurodollar Loans), provided that the
Interest Period for such continued borrowings shall be one month). Borrowings of
more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided, however, that
the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing that, if made, would


                                       38
<PAGE>

result in more than 20 Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding hereunder at any time.
For purposes of the foregoing, Borrowings having different Interest Periods,
regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered
separate Borrowings.

     (c) Subject to paragraph (f) below, each Lender shall make each Loan to be
made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer to such
account as the Administrative Agent may designate in federal funds not later
than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, and the Administrative Agent shall by 12:00
(noon), New York City time, (a) in the case of any Loan made to reimburse any
L/C Disbursement or to refund any Swingline Loan, apply the amounts so received
to effect such reimbursement or refund as contemplated by Section 2.20 or
Section 2.01(c) and (b) in the case of each Loan the proceeds of which are to be
received by the Borrower, credit the amounts so received to an account
designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided,
however, that if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition
precedent herein specified shall not have been met, the Administrative Agent
shall return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders.

     (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a
Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make
available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's portion of such Borrowing,
the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion
available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in
accordance with paragraph (c) above and may, in reliance upon such assumption,
make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the
Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available then, to the extent that
such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative
Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with
interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to
the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent,
at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to
the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, a rate
determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or
short-term funds (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest
error). If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such
corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender's Loan as part of
such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. (e) Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any
Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after
the Term Loan Maturity Date or Revolving Credit Maturity Date, as applicable.

     (f) The Borrower may refinance all or any part of a Revolving Credit
Borrowing with another Revolving Credit Borrowing. Any Revolving Credit
Borrowing (or part thereof) so refinanced shall be deemed to be repaid or
prepaid in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement with the
proceeds of the new Revolving Credit Borrowing and the proceeds of such new
Borrowing, to the extent they do not exceed the principal amount of the
Borrowing being refinanced, shall not be paid by the Lenders to the
Administrative Agent or by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower pursuant to
paragraph (c) above.

                                       39

     SECTION 2.03. Borrowing Procedure. In order to request a Borrowing, the
Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy to the Administrative Agent a duly
completed Borrowing Request substantially in the form of Exhibit B (a) in the
case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time,
three Business Days before a proposed Borrowing, and (b) in the case of an ABR
Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, one Business Day
before a proposed Borrowing; provided, however, that Borrowing Requests with
respect to Borrowings to be made on the Closing Date may, at the discretion of
the Administrative Agent, be delivered later than the times specified above.
Each Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable, shall be signed by or on behalf of
the Borrower and shall specify the following information: (i) whether the
Borrowing then being requested is to be a Term Borrowing or a Revolving Credit
Borrowing (and in the case of a Term Borrowing the Commitments pursuant to which
the Loans comprising such Borrowing are to be made), and whether such Borrowing
is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing; (ii) the date of such
Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) in the case of a Borrowing the
proceeds of which are to be received by the Borrower, the number and location of
the account to which funds are to be disbursed (which shall be an account that
complies with the requirements of Section 2.02(c)); (iv) the amount of such
Borrowing; and (v) if such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the
Interest Period with respect thereto; provided, however, that, notwithstanding
any contrary specification in any Borrowing Request, each requested Borrowing
shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section 2.02. If no election as
to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested
Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any
Eurodollar Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the Borrower shall be
deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month's duration. The
Administrative Agent shall promptly (and in any event on the same day that the
Administrative Agent receives such notice, if received by 1:00 p.m., New York
City time, on such day) advise the applicable Lenders of any notice given
pursuant to this Section 2.03 and of each Lender's portion of the requested
Borrowing.

     If the Borrower shall not have delivered a Borrowing Request in accordance
with this Section 2.03 prior to the end of the Interest Period then in effect
for any Revolving Credit Borrowing requesting that such Borrowing be refinanced,
then the Borrower shall (unless the Borrower has notified the Administrative
Agent, not less than three Business Days prior to the end of such Interest
Period, that such Borrowing is to be repaid at the end of such Interest Period)
be deemed to have delivered a Borrowing Request requesting that such Borrowing
be refinanced with a new Borrowing of equivalent amount, and such new Borrowing
shall be an ABR Borrowing.

     SECTION 2.04. Evidence of Debt; Repayment of Loans. (a) The outstanding
principal balance of each Loan shall be payable (i) in the case of a Term Loan,
as provided in Section 2.11 and (ii) in the case of a Revolving Loan or a
Swingline Loan, on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. Each Loan shall bear
interest from the date of the first Borrowing hereunder on the outstanding
principal balance thereof as set forth in Section 2.06.

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

                                       40
<PAGE>

     (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it will
record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type of each Loan made
and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or
interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each
Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative
Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender's share thereof.

     (d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b)
and (c) of this Section 2.04 shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and
amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure
of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error
therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay
the Loans in accordance with their terms.

     (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, upon the request
of any Lender, the Borrower will duly execute and deliver to such lender a
promissory note or notes evidencing the Loans made to such Lender hereunder and
the interests represented by such Note or Notes shall at all times (including
after any assignment of all or part of such interests pursuant to Section 9.04)
be represented by one or more Notes payable to the payee named therein or its
registered assigns.

     SECTION 2.05. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender (other
than any Defaulting Lender), through the Administrative Agent, on the last day
of March, June, September and December in each year, and on the date on which
the Commitments of all the Lenders shall be terminated as provided herein, a
commitment fee (a "Commitment Fee") on the average daily unused amount of the
Commitments of such Lender during the preceding quarter (or other period ending
with the date on which the last of the Commitments of such Lender shall be
terminated) at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum. All Commitment Fees shall be
computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360
days. For the purpose of calculating any Lender's Commitment Fee, the
outstanding Swingline Loans during the period for which such Lender's Commitment
Fee is calculated shall be deemed to be zero. The Commitment Fee due to each
Lender shall commence to accrue on the Closing Date and shall cease to accrue on
the date on which the last of the Commitments of such Lender shall be terminated
as provided herein.

     (b) The Borrower from time to time agrees to pay (i) to each Revolving
Credit Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), through the Administrative
Agent, on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and
on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments of all the Lenders shall
be terminated as provided herein, a fee (an "L/C Participation Fee") on such
Lender's Applicable Percentage of the daily aggregate Revolving L/C Exposure
(excluding the portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed L/C Disbursements),
during the preceding quarter (or shorter period commencing with the date hereof
or ending with the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or the date on which the
Revolving Credit Commitments shall be terminated) at the rate per annum equal to
the LIBOR Margin effective for each day in such period for Revolving Loans as
set forth on Schedule A and (ii) to the respective Fronting Bank, for its own
account, (x) on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year
and on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments of all the Lenders
shall be terminated as provided herein, a facing fee in respect of each Letter


                                       41
<PAGE>

of Credit issued for its account hereunder for the period from and including the
date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the termination of
such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate equal to 1/4 of 1% per annum of the
daily stated amount of such Letter of Credit; provided that in no event shall
the annual amount of such facing fee with respect to any Letter of Credit be
less than $500, plus, (y) in connection with the issuance, amendment or transfer
of any such Letter of Credit or any L/C Disbursement thereunder, such Fronting
Bank's customary documentary and processing charges (collectively, the "Fronting
Bank Fees"). All L/C Participation Fees and Fronting Bank Fees that are payable
on a per annum basis shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days
elapsed in a year of 360 days.

     (c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own
account, the fees set forth in the Fee Letter dated as of February 3, 2003 at
the times specified therein (the "Administrative Agent Fees").

     (d) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available
funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate,
among the Lenders, except that the Fronting Bank Fees shall be paid directly to
the Fronting Bank to which such Fees are owed. Once paid, none of the Fees shall
be refundable under any circumstances.

     (e) All voluntary prepayments of principal of Tranche I Term Loans and
Tranche II Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.12(a) and all mandatory prepayments
of principal of Tranche I Term Loans and Tranche II Term Loans required pursuant
to Section 2.12(c), in each case prior to the first anniversary of the Closing
Date, will be subject to payment to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable
account of each Lender with outstanding Tranche I Term Loans and/or Tranche II
Term Loans, of a fee in an amount equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal
amount of such prepayment, provided that such prepayment fee shall be payable
only in respect of repayments of Term Loans in connection with a complete
refinancing of the Obligations under this Agreement (other than any complete
refinancing (i) occurring concurrently with a Change of Control, (ii) occurring
concurrently with the consummation of a substantial acquisition by the Borrower
or any of its subsidiaries of an unrelated third party or business that is not
permitted under this Agreement or (iii) whose primary purpose is not to obtain a
lower interest rate margin on the Term Loans). Such prepayment fees shall be due
and payable upon the date of any such prepayment.

     SECTION 2.06. Interest on Loans. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section
2.07, the Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on
the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days,
as the case may be, when determined by reference to the Prime Rate and over a
year of 360 days at all other times) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate
Base Rate plus the ABR Margin effective for such date as set forth on Schedule
A.

     (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each
Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual
number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the
Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the
LIBOR Margin effective for such date as set forth on Schedule A.

                                       42
<PAGE>

     (c) Interest on each Loan shall be payable on the Interest Payment Dates
applicable to such Loan except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The
applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate for each Interest Period or
day within an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be determined by the
Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. The Administrative Agent shall give the Borrower prompt notice of each
such determination.

     SECTION 2.07. Default Interest. If the Borrower shall default in the
payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any other amount becoming
due hereunder, by acceleration or otherwise, the Borrower shall on demand from
time to time pay interest, to the extent permitted by law, on such defaulted
amount for the period beginning on the date of such default up to (but not
including) the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment) at a
rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over
a year of 360 days) equal to the greater of (i) 2% per annum in excess of the
rate otherwise applicable to ABR Loans of the respective Tranche of Loans from
time to time and (y) the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate then borne by
such Loans.

     SECTION 2.08. Alternate Rate of Interest. In the event, and on each
occasion, that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any
Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing the Administrative Agent shall have
determined that dollar deposits in the principal amounts of the Loans comprising
such Borrowing are not generally available in the London interbank market, or
that the rates at which such dollar deposits are being offered will not
adequately and fairly reflect the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining
its Eurodollar Loan during such Interest Period, or that reasonable means do not
exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Administrative Agent shall,
as soon as practicable thereafter, give written or telecopy notice of such
determination to the Borrower and the Lenders. In the event of any such
determination, until the Administrative Agent shall have advised the Borrower
and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer
exist, any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Borrowing pursuant to
Section 2.03 or 2.10 shall be deemed to be a request for an ABR Borrowing. Each
determination by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.

     SECTION 2.09. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) (i) The Tranche
I Term Loan Commitments and Tranche II Term Loan Commitments shall be
automatically and permanently terminated at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on
the Closing Date. The Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall be automatically
and permanently terminated at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Revolving
Credit Maturity Date.

     (ii) The Commitments (and the Term Commitments, Revolving Credit
Commitments, Swingline Loan Commitment and Revolving L/C Commitment of each
Lender) shall terminate in their entirety on February 21, 2003 unless the
Closing Date shall have occurred on or prior to such date.

     (b) Upon at least three Business Days' prior irrevocable written or
telecopy notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may at any time in
whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce,
any of the Term Commitments or the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided,
however, that (i) each partial reduction of any Commitments shall be in an


                                       43
<PAGE>

integral multiple of $1,000,000 and in a minimum amount of $2,000,000 (or, if
less, the remaining amount of the applicable Commitments) and (ii) the Total
Revolving Credit Commitment shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than
the Revolving Credit Exposure at the time.

     (c) Each reduction in the Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among
the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments. The
Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders,
on the date of each termination or reduction, the Commitment Fees and, to the
extent applicable, L/C Participation Fees on the amount of the Commitments so
terminated or reduced accrued to but excluding the date of such termination or
reduction.

     SECTION 2.10. Conversion and Continuation of Term Borrowings. The Borrower
shall have the right at any time upon prior irrevocable notice to the
Administrative Agent (a) not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, one
Business Day prior to conversion, to convert any Eurodollar Term Borrowing into
an ABR Term Borrowing, (b) not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, three
Business Days prior to conversion or continuation, to convert any ABR Term
Borrowing into a Eurodollar Term Borrowing or to continue any Eurodollar Term
Borrowing as a Eurodollar Term Borrowing for an additional Interest Period, and
(c) not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days prior to
conversion, to convert the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Term
Borrowing to another permissible Interest Period, subject in each case to the
following:

          (i) each conversion or continuation shall be made pro rata among the
     relevant Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the
     Loans comprising the converted or continued Term Borrowing;

          (ii) if less than all the outstanding principal amount of any Term
     Borrowing shall be converted or continued, then each resulting Term
     Borrowing shall satisfy the limitations specified in Sections 2.02(a) and
     (b) regarding the principal amount and maximum number of Borrowings of the
     relevant Type;

          (iii) each conversion shall be effected by each Lender by recording
     for the account of such Lender the new Term Loan of such Lender resulting
     from such conversion and reducing the Term Loan (or portion thereof) of
     such Lender being converted by an equivalent principal amount; accrued
     interest on a Term Loan (or portion thereof) being converted shall be paid
     by the Borrower at the time of conversion;

          (iv) if any Eurodollar Term Borrowing is converted at a time other
     than the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall
     pay, upon demand, any amounts due to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.15;

          (v) any portion of a Term Borrowing maturing or required to be repaid
     in less than one month may not be converted into or continued as a
     Eurodollar Term Borrowing;

          (vi) any portion of a Eurodollar Term Borrowing which cannot be
     converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Term Borrowing by reason of the


                                       44
<PAGE>

     immediately preceding clause shall be automatically converted at the end of
     the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing into an ABR Term
     Borrowing;

          (vii) no Interest Period may be selected for any Eurodollar Term
     Borrowing that would end later than an Installment Date occurring on or
     after the first day of such Interest Period if, after giving effect to such
     selection, the aggregate outstanding amount of (A) the Eurodollar Term
     Borrowings made pursuant to the same Commitments with Interest Periods
     ending on or prior to such Installment Date and (B) the ABR Term Borrowings
     made pursuant to the same Commitments would not be at least equal to the
     principal amount of Term Borrowings made pursuant to the same Commitments
     to be paid on such Installment Date; and

          (viii) with respect to each Tranche, prior to the earlier of (i) the
     45th day after the Closing Date and (ii) the Syndication Date, conversions
     of ABR Loans into Eurodollar Loans may only be made if the conversion is
     effective on the fifth day after the Closing Date (or on the first day of a
     subsequent one month Interest Period as referenced in the parenthetical to
     the second proviso to Section 2.02(b)) and otherwise in accordance with
     Section 2.02(b).

     Each notice pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be irrevocable and shall
refer to this Agreement and specify (i) the identity and amount of the Term
Borrowing that the Borrower requests be converted or continued, (ii) whether
such Term Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing
or an ABR Borrowing, (iii) if such notice requests a conversion, the date of
such conversion (which shall be a Business Day) and (iv) if such Term Borrowing
is to be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest
Period with respect thereto. If no Interest Period is specified in any such
notice with respect to any conversion to or continuation as a Eurodollar
Borrowing, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of
one month's duration. The Administrative Agent shall advise the other Lenders of
any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.10 and of each Lender's portion of
any converted or continued Term Borrowing. If the Borrower shall not have given
notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to continue any Term Borrowing into
a subsequent Interest Period (and shall not otherwise have given notice in
accordance with this Section 2.10 to convert such Term Borrowing), such Term
Borrowing shall, at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto (unless
repaid pursuant to the terms hereof), automatically be converted into an ABR
Borrowing.

     SECTION 2.11. Repayment of Term Borrowings. (a) (i) The Tranche I Term
Borrowings shall be payable as to principal in the amounts and on the dates set
forth below (each such date being called a "Tranche I Term Loan Installment
Date"):

                                                 Tranche I Term
                Date                                  Loan
                                                     Amount
          September 30, 2003                         $1,000,000
          December 31, 2003                          $1,000,000
          March 31, 2004                             $1,000,000
          June 30, 2004                              $1,000,000

          Term Loan Maturity Date                   13,500,000

; notwithstanding the foregoing, all then outstanding principal of the Tranche
II Term Loans shall be due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date (even if
same occurs prior to one or more of the dates set forth in the table above).

     (b) Except as set forth in paragraphs (c), (d), and (e) below,

     (i) all Net Proceeds and Excess Cash Flow to be applied at any time to
prepay Term Borrowings pursuant to Sections 2.12(c) and (d), respectively, shall
be applied to the Tranche I Term Borrowings and Tranche II Term Borrowings
ratably in accordance with the respective principal amounts outstanding thereof;
and

     (ii) each prepayment of principal of the Term Borrowings pursuant to
Section 2.12(a) shall be applied to the Tranche I Term Borrowings and the
Tranche II Term Borrowings ratably in accordance with the respective outstanding
principal amounts thereof.

     (c) With respect to each repayment of Loans required by this Section 2.11
or made pursuant to the following Section 2.12, the Borrower may designate the
Types of Loans of the respective Tranche which are to be repaid and, in the case
of Eurodollar Borrowings, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid,
provided that: (i) repayments of Eurodollar Borrowings which are not made on the
last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto shall be required to be
accompanied by the payment of all related amounts owing pursuant to Section
2.15; (ii) if any repayment of any Eurodollar Borrowing shall reduce the
outstanding amount of such Borrowing to an amount less than the minimum
Borrowing amount applicable thereto pursuant to Section 2.02(a), such Borrowing
shall be converted at the end of the then current Interest Period into an ABR
Borrowing; and (iii) each repayment of Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall
be applied pro rata among such Loans of all Lenders. In the absence of a
designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the
Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its
sole discretion.

                                       47

     (d) All prepayments made pursuant to Sections 2.12(a) and (d) shall reduce
scheduled payments required under paragraph (a) above, of the respective
Tranches of Term Loans required to be repaid after the date of such prepayment,
in the scheduled order of maturity and all prepayments made pursuant to Section
2.12(c) shall reduce scheduled payments required under paragraph (a) above, of
the respective Tranches of Term Loans required to be repaid after the date of
such prepayment, on a pro rata basis. To the extent not previously paid, all
Term Borrowings shall be due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date. Each
payment of Borrowings pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be accompanied by
accrued interest on the principal amount paid to but excluding the date of
payment.

     (e) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (b) above, any mandatory
prepayments that would otherwise be made with the Net Proceeds from the issuance
of the New Senior Notes shall be applied, (i) first, until the Tranche II Term
Borrowings shall have been paid in full, to prepay Tranche II Term Borrowings,
and shall reduce scheduled payments in respect of such Borrowings under Section
2.11(a) after the date of any such prepayment in the scheduled order of
maturity, (ii) second, at the election of the Borrower, to repay up to
$25,000,000 in the aggregate of then outstanding Revolving Loans and/or
Swingline Loans (to the extent outstanding) without any corresponding reduction
to the Revolving Credit Commitments and (iii) third, to repay Tranche I Term
Loans.

     SECTION 2.12. Prepayment. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time
and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, upon at
least three Business Days' (or, in the case of a prepayment of ABR Loans, one
Business Day's) prior written or telecopy notice (or telephone notice promptly
confirmed by written or telecopy notice) to the Administrative Agent, before
11:00 a.m., New York City time; provided, however, that (i) each partial
prepayment (other than of a Swingline Loan) shall be in an amount that is an
integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 (or, if less, the
aggregate outstanding amount under the applicable Tranche) and (ii) each
prepayment of Term Borrowings shall be applied as set forth in paragraphs (b),
(c), (d) and (e) of Section 2.11. Each prepayment of Term Loans made in
connection with a refinancing of the Obligations under this Agreement prior to
the first anniversary of the Closing Date (to the extent required by Section
2.05(e)) shall be subject to the payment of the fee described in Section
2.05(e).

     (b) In the event of any termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments,
the Borrower shall on the date of such termination repay or prepay all its
outstanding Swingline Loans and Revolving Credit Borrowings, reduce the
Revolving L/C Exposure to zero and cause all Letters of Credit to be canceled
and returned to the respective Fronting Bank. In the event of any partial
reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments, then (i) at or prior to the
effective date of such reduction, the Administrative Agent shall notify the
Borrower, the Swingline Lender and the Revolving Credit Lenders of the Aggregate
Revolving Credit Exposure and (ii) if the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure
would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment after giving effect to such
reduction, then the Borrower shall, on the date of such reduction, repay or
prepay Swingline Loans and Revolving Credit Borrowings, or reduce the Revolving
L/C Exposure, in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, on the date of any termination or reduction of
the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 2.09, the Borrower shall
pay or prepay so much of, first, the Swingline Loans and, second, the Revolving
Credit Borrowings as shall be necessary in order that the Aggregate Revolving


                                       48
<PAGE>

Credit Exposure will not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment after
giving effect to such termination or reduction.

     (c) The Borrower shall apply all Net Proceeds promptly upon receipt thereof
by Holdings, the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries to prepay Term Borrowings
in accordance with paragraphs (b), (c), (d) and (e) of Section 2.11. Mandatory
repayments of Term Loans made in connection with a refinancing of the
Obligations under this Agreement prior to the first anniversary of the Closing
Date (to the extent required by Section 2.05(e)) shall be subject to the payment
of the fee described in Section 2.05(e).

     (d) Not later than 90 days after the end of each Excess Cash Flow Period,
the Borrower shall calculate Excess Cash Flow for such Excess Cash Flow Period
and shall apply 50% of such Excess Cash Flow to prepay Term Borrowings in
accordance with paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) of Section 2.11, provided that if,
at the time of such prepayment, the Net Leverage Ratio is less than 3.50 to 1.00
(as established pursuant to the certificate last delivered (or required to be
delivered) pursuant to Section 5.04(c)), the Borrower shall not be required to
apply any of such Excess Cash Flow to prepay such Borrowings. Not later than the
date on which the Borrower is required to deliver financial statements with
respect to the end of each Excess Cash Flow Period under Section 5.04(a), the
Borrower will deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate signed by a
Financial Officer of the Borrower setting forth the amount, if any, of Excess
Cash Flow for such fiscal year and the calculation thereof in reasonable detail.

     (e) In addition to any other mandatory prepayments pursuant to this Section
2.12, on each date after the Closing Date upon which a mandatory prepayment of
Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.12(c) and/or (d) is required (and exceeds in
amount the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans then outstanding) or would
be required if Term Loans were then outstanding, the amount required to be
applied pursuant to this Section 2.12 (determined as if an unlimited amount of
Term Loans were actually outstanding) in excess of the aggregate principal
amount of Term Loans then outstanding shall be applied to promptly repay then
outstanding Revolving Loans and/or Swingline Loans (to the extent outstanding)
without any corresponding reduction to the Revolving Credit Commitments.

     (f) Each notice of prepayment or reduction pursuant to this Section 2.12
shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing (or
portion thereof) to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable and shall commit the
Borrower to prepay such Borrowing by the amount stated therein on the date
stated therein. All prepayments under this Section 2.12 shall (x) be made in
accordance with the provisions of Section 2.11(c) and (y) be subject to Section
2.15 but otherwise without premium or penalty. All prepayments under this
Section 2.12 shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount
being prepaid to but excluding the date of payment.

     (g) In the event the amount of any prepayment required to be made above
under this Section 2.12 shall exceed the aggregate principal amount of the ABR
Loans outstanding under the respective Tranche required to be prepaid (the
amount of any such excess being called the "Excess Amount"), the Borrower shall
have the right, in lieu of making such prepayment in full, to prepay all the
outstanding applicable ABR Loans and to deposit an amount equal to the Excess
Amount with the Collateral Agent in a cash collateral account maintained


                                       49
<PAGE>

(pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent)
by and in the sole dominion and control of the Collateral Agent. Any amounts so
deposited shall be held by the Collateral Agent as collateral for the
Obligations and applied to the prepayment of the applicable Eurodollar Loans at
the end of the current Interest Periods applicable thereto. On any Business Day
on which (i) collected amounts remain on deposit in or to the credit of such
cash collateral account after giving effect to the payments made on such day
pursuant to this Section 2.12(g) and (ii) the Borrower shall have delivered to
the Collateral Agent a written request or a telephonic request (which shall be
promptly confirmed in writing) that such remaining collected amounts be invested
in the Permitted Investments specified in such request, the Collateral Agent
shall use its reasonable efforts to invest such remaining collected amounts in
such Permitted Investments; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall
have continuous dominion and full control over any such investments (and over
any interest that accrues thereon) to the same extent that it has dominion and
control over such cash collateral account and no Permitted Investment shall
mature after the end of the Interest Period for which it is to be applied. The
Borrower shall not have the right to withdraw any amount from such cash
collateral account until the applicable Eurodollar Loans and accrued interest
thereon are paid in full or if a Default or Event of Default then exists or
would result.

     SECTION 2.13. Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances. (a)
Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if after the date of this Agreement
any change in applicable law or regulation or in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of
law) shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender or Fronting
Bank in respect of any Letter of Credit or of the principal of or interest on
any Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender or any Fees or other amounts payable
hereunder (other than changes in respect of (i) taxes imposed on the overall net
income of such Lender or Fronting Bank by the jurisdiction in which such Lender
or Fronting Bank has its principal office or by any political subdivision or
taxing authority therein and (ii) any Taxes described in Section 2.19), or shall
impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar
requirement against assets or deposits with or for the account of or credit
extended by or, in the case of the Letters of Credit, participated in by such
Lender (except any such reserve requirement which is reflected in the Adjusted
LIBO Rate) or Fronting Bank or shall impose on such Lender or Fronting Bank or
the interbank Eurodollar market any other condition affecting this Agreement,
any Letter of Credit (or any participation with respect thereto), the Revolving
L/C Exposure or any Eurodollar Loans of such Lender or Fronting Bank, and the
result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or
Fronting Bank of making or maintaining its Revolving L/C Exposure or any
Eurodollar Loan (or, in the case of the Fronting Bank, of making any payment
under any Letter of Credit) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or
receivable by such Lender or Fronting Bank hereunder (whether of principal,
interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Lender or Fronting Bank to be
material, then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or
Fronting Bank upon demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
such Lender or Fronting Bank for such additional costs incurred or reduction
suffered.

     (b) If any Lender or Fronting Bank shall have determined that the adoption
after the date hereof of any law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding
capital adequacy, or any change after the date hereof in any of the foregoing or


                                       50
<PAGE>

in the interpretation or administration of any of the foregoing by any
Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or any
lending office of such Lender) or Fronting Bank or any Lender's or Fronting
Bank's holding company with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy
(whether or not having the force of law) made or issued after the date hereof by
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 Fronting Bank's
capital or on the capital of such Lender's or Fronting Bank's holding company,
if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or its obligations pursuant hereto to
a level below that which such Lender or Fronting Bank or such Lender's or
Fronting Bank's holding company would have achieved but for such adoption,
change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's or Fronting Bank's
policies and the policies of such Lender's or Fronting Bank's holding company
with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender or Fronting
Bank to be material, then from time to time the Borrower shall pay to such
Lender or Fronting Bank upon demand such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender or Fronting Bank or such Lender's or Fronting Bank's
holding company for any such reduction suffered.

     (c) A certificate of each Lender or Fronting Bank setting forth such amount
or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Lender or Fronting Bank or
its holding company as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above, as the case may
be, shall be delivered to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent and
shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay each Lender or
Fronting Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it
within 10 days after its receipt of the same.

     (d) In the event any Lender or any Fronting Bank delivers a notice pursuant
to paragraph (e) below, the Borrower may require, at the Borrower's expense and
subject to Section 2.15, such Lender or such Fronting Bank to assign, at par
plus accrued interest and fees, without recourse (in accordance with Section
9.04) all its interests, rights and obligations hereunder (including, in the
case of a Lender, all of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it
and participations in Letters of Credit held by it and its obligations to
acquire such participations) to a financial institution specified by the
Borrower, provided that (i) such assignment shall not conflict with or violate
any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental
Authority, (ii) the Borrower shall have received the written consent of the
Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and such
Fronting Bank to such assignment, (iii) the Borrower shall have paid to the
assigning Lender or the Fronting Bank all moneys accrued and owing hereunder to
it (including pursuant to this Section 2.13) and (iv) in the case of a required
assignment by any Fronting Bank, all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by
such Fronting Bank shall be canceled and returned to such Fronting Bank.

     (e) Promptly after any Lender or any Fronting Bank has determined, in its
sole judgment, that it will make a request for increased compensation pursuant
to this Section 2.13, such Lender or Fronting Bank will notify the Borrower
thereof. Failure on the part of any Lender or Fronting Bank so to notify the
Borrower or to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in
amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital with respect to
any period shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's or Fronting Bank's
right to demand compensation with respect to such period or any other period,
provided that the Borrower shall not be under any obligation to compensate any
Lender or Fronting Bank under paragraph (b) above with respect to increased


                                       51
<PAGE>

costs or reductions with respect to any period prior to the date that is six
months prior to such request if such Lender or Fronting Bank knew or could
reasonably have been expected to be aware of the circumstances giving rise to
such increased costs or reductions and of the fact that such circumstances would
in fact result in a claim for increased compensation by reason of such increased
costs or reductions and provided further, that the foregoing limitation shall
not apply to any increased costs or reductions arising out of the retroactive
application of any law, regulation, rule, guideline or directive as aforesaid
within such six month period. The protection of this Section 2.13 shall be
available to each Lender and Fronting Bank regardless of any possible contention
as to the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, guideline
or other change or condition which shall have occurred or been imposed.

     SECTION 2.14. Change in Legality. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision
herein, if the adoption of or any change in any law or regulation or in the
interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the
administration or interpretation thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender
to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as
contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice
to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, such Lender may:

          (i) declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter be made by such
     Lender hereunder, whereupon any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar
     Borrowing shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR
     Loan unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and

          (ii) require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by it be
     converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar Loans shall be
     automatically converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such
     notice as provided in paragraph (b) below.

In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under subparagraphs (i) and
(ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have
been applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by such
Lender or the converted Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied
to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the
conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans.

     (b) For purposes of this Section 2.14, a notice to the Borrower by any
Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Loan, if lawful, on the last day
of the Interest Period currently applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in all
other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the
Borrower.

     SECTION 2.15. Indemnity. The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against
any loss or expense (other than taxes) that such Lender may sustain or incur as
a consequence of (a) any failure by the Borrower to fulfill on the date of any
Borrowing or proposed Borrowing hereunder the applicable conditions set forth in
Article IV, (b) any failure by the Borrower to borrow or to refinance, convert
or continue any Loan hereunder after irrevocable notice of such Borrowing,
refinancing, conversion or continuation has been given pursuant to Section 2.03
or 2.10, (c) any payment, prepayment or conversion of a Eurodollar Loan required
by any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise made or deemed made on a


                                       52
<PAGE>

date other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (d) any
default in payment or prepayment of the principal amount of any Loan or any part
thereof or interest accrued thereon, as and when due and payable (at the due
date thereof, whether by scheduled maturity, acceleration, irrevocable notice of
prepayment or otherwise) or (e) the occurrence of any Event of Default,
including, in each such case, any loss or reasonable expense sustained or
incurred or to be sustained or incurred in liquidating or employing deposits
from third parties acquired to effect or maintain such Loan or any part thereof
as a Eurodollar Loan. Such loss or reasonable expense shall exclude loss of
margin hereunder but shall include an amount equal to the excess, if any, as
reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining the funds for
the Loan being paid, prepaid, converted or not borrowed, converted or continued
(assumed to be the Adjusted LIBO Rate applicable thereto) for the period from
the date of such payment, prepayment, conversion or failure to borrow, convert
or continue to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the
case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period for such
Loan which would have commenced on the date of such failure) over (ii) the
amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would be
realized by such Lender in reemploying the funds so paid, prepaid, converted or
not borrowed, converted or continued for such period or Interest Period, as the
case may be. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts
that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.15 (and the
reasons therefor) shall be delivered to the Borrower through the Administrative
Agent and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

     SECTION 2.16. Pro Rata Treatment. Except as required under Section 2.14 and
subject to Section 2.11, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal
of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each reimbursement of
L/C Disbursements, each payment of the Commitment Fees or L/C Participation
Fees, each reduction of the Term Commitments or the Revolving Credit Commitments
and each refinancing of any Borrowing with, conversion of any Borrowing to or
continuation of any Borrowing as a Borrowing of any Type shall be allocated
(except in the case of Swingline Loans) pro rata among the Lenders in accordance
with their respective applicable Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have
expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts
of their applicable outstanding Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements, as
applicable). Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender's portion of any
Borrowing or L/C Disbursement, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion,
round each Lender's percentage of such Borrowing or L/C Disbursement, computed
in accordance with Section 2.01, to the next higher or lower whole dollar
amount.

     SECTION 2.17. Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall,
through the exercise of a right of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim against
the Borrower or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the
United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of,
such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain
payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Loan or L/C Disbursement as
a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans or L/C Disbursements
made pursuant to any Commitment (or, after acceleration of the Loans pursuant to
Article VII, applicable to any Loan or L/C Disbursement) shall be


                                       53
<PAGE>

proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Loans or L/C
Disbursements of any other Lender made pursuant to such Commitments (or, after
acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Article VII, applicable to any Loan or L/C
Disbursement), it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such
other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the
purchase price for, an interest in the Loans or L/C Disbursements of such other
Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans or L/C
Disbursements and interests in Loans or L/C Disbursements held by each such
Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount
of all Loans or L/C Disbursements then outstanding under such Commitments as the
principal amount of its Loans or L/C Disbursements under such Commitments prior
to such exercise of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to
the principal amount of all such Loans or L/C Disbursements outstanding prior to
such exercise of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided,
however, that, if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made
pursuant to this Section 2.17 and the payment giving rise thereto shall
thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be
rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or
adjustment restored without interest. The Borrower expressly consents to the
foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding an interest in a Loan
or L/C Disbursement deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all
rights of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all
moneys owing by the Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if
such Lender had made a Loan directly to, or L/C Disbursement directly for the
benefit of, the Borrower in the amount of such interest.

     SECTION 2.18. Payments. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment without
setoff or counterclaim (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or
L/C Disbursement or any Fees or other amounts) required to be made by it
hereunder and under any other Loan Document not later than 12:00 noon, New York
City time, on the date when due in Dollars to the Administrative Agent at its
offices at 31 West 52nd Street, New York, New York, Attention: Deal
Administrator, in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall
distribute such payments to the Lenders and/or the respective Fronting Bank
promptly upon receipt in like funds as received.

     (b) Whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any
Borrowing or L/C Disbursement or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder or under
any other Loan Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day
that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding
Business Day (except in the case of payment of principal of a Eurodollar
Borrowing if the effect of such extension would be to extend such payment into
the next succeeding month, in which event such payment shall be due on the
immediately preceding Business Day), and such extension of time shall in such
case be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable.

     SECTION 2.19. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by the Borrower to the
Administrative Agent, any Fronting Bank or the Lenders hereunder or under the
other Loan Documents shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.18, free and
clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies,
imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect
thereto, excluding (i) in the case of each Lender, each Fronting Bank and the
Administrative Agent, taxes that would not be imposed but for a connection
between such Lender, such Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case
may be) and the jurisdiction imposing such tax, other than a connection arising
solely by virtue of the activities of such Lender, such Fronting Bank or the
Administrative Agent (as the case may be) pursuant to or in respect of this


                                       54
<PAGE>

Agreement or under any other Loan Document, including entering into, lending
money or extending credit pursuant to, receiving payments under, or enforcing,
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and (ii) in the case of each Lender,
each Fronting Bank and the Administrative Agent, any withholding taxes payable
with respect to any payments made hereunder or under the other Loan Documents
under laws (including any statute, treaty, ruling, determination or regulation)
in effect on the Initial Date (as hereinafter defined) applicable to such
Lender, such Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, on
such date but not excluding any withholding taxes payable solely as a result of
any change in such laws occurring after the Initial Date (all such non-excluded
taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being
hereinafter referred to as "Taxes"). For purposes of this Section 2.19, the term
"Initial Date" shall mean (i) in the case of the Administrative Agent, any
Fronting Bank or any Lender, the date on which such person became a party to
this Agreement and (ii) in the case of any assignment, including any assignment
by a Lender or a Fronting Bank to a new lending office, the date of such
assignment. If any Taxes shall be required by law to be deducted from or in
respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any
Lender, any Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable by
the Borrower shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all
required deductions for Taxes (including deductions for Taxes applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section 2.19) such Lender, such Fronting Bank
or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the
sum it would have received had no such deductions for Taxes been made, (ii) the
Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full
amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in
accordance with applicable law. The Borrower shall not, however, be required to
pay any amounts pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence to any Lender,
any Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent not organized under the laws of
the United States of America or a state thereof if such Lender, such Fronting
Bank or the Administrative Agent fails to comply with the requirements of
paragraph (f) or (g), as the case may be, and paragraph (h) of this Section
2.19.

     (b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or
documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar
levies which arise from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise
with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (hereinafter referred
to as "Other Taxes").

     (c) The Borrower will indemnify each Lender, each Fronting Bank and the
Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any
Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this
Section 2.19) paid by such Lender, Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent, as
the case may be, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses
including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses) arising therefrom or with
respect thereto whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or
legally asserted. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability
prepared by a Lender (or transferee), a Fronting Bank or the Administrative
Agent, absent manifest error, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all
purposes, provided that if the Borrower reasonably believes that such Taxes were
not correctly or legally asserted, such Lender, such Fronting Bank or the
Administrative Agent, as the case may be shall use reasonable efforts to
cooperate with the Borrower to obtain a refund of such Taxes or Other Taxes.
Such indemnification shall be made within 10 days after the date any Lender, any
Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, makes written
demand therefor. If a Lender, a Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent shall


                                       55
<PAGE>

become aware that it is entitled to receive a refund in respect of Taxes or
Other Taxes, it shall promptly notify the Borrower of the availability of such
refund and shall, within 30 days after receipt of a request by the Borrower,
pursue or timely claim such refund at the Borrower's expense. If any Lender, any
Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent receives a refund in respect of any
Taxes or Other Taxes for which such Lender, such Fronting Bank or the
Administrative Agent has received payment from the Borrower hereunder, it shall
promptly repay such refund (plus any interest received) to the Borrower (but
only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by
the Borrower under this Section 2.19 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes
giving rise to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of
such Lender, such Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent, agrees to return
such refund (plus any penalties, interest or other charges required to be paid)
to such Lender, such Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent in the event such
Lender, such Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent is required to repay such
refund to the relevant taxing authority.

     (d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes
withheld by the Borrower in respect of any payment to any Lender, any Fronting
Bank or the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will furnish to the
Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.01, the original
or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

     (e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement contained
herein, the agreements and obligations contained in this Section 2.19 shall
survive the payment in full of principal and interest hereunder, the expiration
of the Letters of Credit and the termination of the Commitments.

     (f) In the case of any Borrowing by, or L/C Disbursement for the benefit
of, the Borrower, this paragraph (f) shall apply. Each Lender, each Fronting
Bank and the Administrative Agent that is not organized under the laws of the
United States of America or a state thereof agrees that at least 10 days prior
to the first Interest Payment Date following the Initial Date in respect of such
Fronting Bank or such Lender, it will deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent (if appropriate) two duly completed copies of either (i)
United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or successor
applicable form, as the case may be, certifying in each case that such Fronting
Bank, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, is entitled
to receive payments under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents payable to
it without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes
and backup withholding taxes or is entitled to receive such payments at a
reduced rate pursuant to a treaty provision or (ii) in the case of a Lender that
is not a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3) of the Code, deliver to
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (I) a statement under penalties of
perjury that such Lender (w) is not a "bank" under Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the
Code, is not subject to regulatory or other legal requirements as a bank in any
jurisdiction, and has not been treated as a bank for purposes of any tax,
securities law or other filing or submission made to any Governmental Authority,
any application made to a rating agency or qualification for any exemption from
tax, securities law or other legal requirements, (x) is not a 10-percent
shareholder within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, (y) is not a
controlled foreign corporation receiving interest from a related person within
the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(c) of the Code and (z) is not a "conduit
entity" within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.881-3 and (II)
an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN. Such Lender shall certify (i) in the


                                       56
<PAGE>

case of a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or a successor form), that it is entitled to
receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any
United States Federal income taxes or is entitled to receive such payments at a
reduced rate pursuant to a treaty provision and (ii) in the case of a Form W-8,
that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax.
In addition, such Lender, such Fronting Bank and the Administrative Agent shall
(I) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a further copy of said
Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, or any successor applicable form or other manner of
certification on or before the date that any such Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI expires
or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in
the most recent form previously delivered by such Lender, such Fronting Bank or
the Administrative Agent; and (II) obtain such extensions of time for filing and
complete such forms or certifications as may be reasonably requested by the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent; unless in any such case an event
(including, without limitation, any change in treaty, law or regulation or in
the official interpretation thereof by a relevant taxing authority) has occurred
prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which
renders any such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender, such
Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent from duly completing and delivering
any such form with respect to it and such Lender so advises the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent. Each Person that shall become a participant pursuant to
Section 9.04 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required
to provide all the forms and statements required pursuant to this paragraph (f)
to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased.
Unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent have received forms,
certificates and other documents required by this Section 2.19(f) indicating
that payments hereunder or under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or the
Letters of Credit to or for any Fronting Bank or Lender not incorporated or
organized under the laws of the United States or a state thereof are not subject
to United States withholding tax or are subject to such tax at a rate reduced by
an applicable tax treaty, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall
withhold such taxes from such payments at the applicable statutory rate.

     (g) Any Fronting Bank and any Lender claiming any additional amounts
payable pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent
with legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or document
requested in writing by the Borrower or to change the jurisdiction of its
applicable lending office, if the making of such a filing or change would avoid
the need for or reduce the amount of any such additional amounts which would be
payable or may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole determination of
such Fronting Bank or such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Fronting
Bank or such Lender.

     (h) Nothing contained in this Section 2.19 shall require any Lender or any
Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent to make available any of its tax
returns (or any other information that it deems to be confidential or
proprietary).

     SECTION 2.20. Letters of Credit. (a) Letters of Credit. (i) General. The
Borrower may request the issuance of a Standby Letter of Credit or a Commercial
Letter of Credit by delivering notice in the form of Exhibit C hereto (each a
"Letter of Credit Request"), appropriately completed, for the account of the
Borrower at any time and from time to time while the Revolving Credit
Commitments remain in effect and prior to the tenth day preceding the Revolving
Credit Maturity Date. This Section 2.20 shall not be construed to impose an


                                       57
<PAGE>

obligation upon any Fronting Bank to issue any Letter of Credit that is
inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement or that would
result in there existing Letters of Credit in an aggregate stated amount at any
time in excess of $50,000,000.

     (ii) Notice of Issuance, Amendment; Certain Conditions. In order to request
the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall deliver to the applicable
Fronting Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the
requested date of issuance) a written request (including by way of facsimile) in
the form of Exhibit C hereto, requesting the issuance of such Letter of Credit
in Dollars and on a sight basis. Each such request shall specify the date of
issuance, the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall
comply with paragraph (iii) below, the amount of the Letter of Credit to be
issued, the name and address of the account party (which shall be the Borrower)
and the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to
issue such Letter of Credit. In order to request the amendment of an existing
Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall deliver to the applicable Fronting Bank and
the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of
amendment), a written and signed request, (including by way of facsimile) on the
Borrower's letterhead specifying the Letter of Credit number to be amended, the
nature of the amendment and such other information as shall be necessary to
amend such Letter of Credit. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended
subject to the terms and conditions and relying on the representations and
warranties of Holdings and the Borrower set forth herein, and in any case only
if, and upon issuance or amendment of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall
be deemed to represent and warrant that, after giving effect to such issuance or
amendment the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Total
Revolving Credit Commitment in effect at such time.

     (iii) Expiration Date. Each Standby Letter of Credit shall expire at the
close of business on the earlier of the date one year after the date of the
issuance of such Standby Letter of Credit (although any such Standby Letter of
Credit may be automatically extendable for successive periods of up to one year,
but not beyond the fifth Business Day prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity
Date) and the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit
Maturity Date and each Commercial Letter of Credit shall expire at the close of
business on the earlier of the date 180 days after the date of issuance of such
Commercial Letter of Credit and the date that is ten Business Days prior to the
Revolving Credit Maturity Date, unless such Letter of Credit expires by its
terms on an earlier date, provided that a Letter of Credit shall not be issued
(nor shall a Letter of Credit be amended, renewed or extended) that would result
in the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding the Total Revolving Credit
Commitment in effect at such time. Compliance with the foregoing proviso shall
be determined based upon the assumption that (A) each Letter of Credit remains
outstanding and undrawn in accordance with its terms until its expiration date
(taking into account any rights of renewal or extension that do not require
written notice by or consent of any Fronting Bank, in its sole discretion, in
order to effect such renewal or extension) and (B) the Revolving Credit
Commitments will not be reduced pursuant to Section 2.09.

     (iv) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit and without any
further action on the part of such Fronting Bank or the Revolving Credit
Lenders, such Fronting Bank will grant to each Revolving Credit Lender, and each
such Lender will acquire from such Fronting Bank, a participation in such Letter
of Credit equal to such Revolving Credit Lender's Applicable Percentage of the
aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, effective


                                       58
<PAGE>

upon the issuance of such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance
of the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and
unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of
such Fronting Bank, such Revolving Credit Lender's Applicable Percentage of each
L/C Disbursement made by such Fronting Bank under such Letter of Credit and not
reimbursed by the Borrower (or, if applicable, another party pursuant to its
obligations under any other Loan Document) on or before the next Business Day as
provided in paragraph (v) below. Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and
agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph
in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be
affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and
continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, and that each such payment
shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction
whatsoever, provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to excuse
any Fronting Bank from liability to the Revolving Credit Lenders caused by the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Fronting Bank. The Existing
Letters of Credit shall, for the purposes of this Section 2.20(a)(iv) and
Section 2.05(b), be deemed to have been issued hereunder on the Closing Date.

     (v) Reimbursement. If any Fronting Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in
respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative
Agent, on or before the Business Day immediately following the date of such L/C
Disbursement, an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement. If the Borrower shall
fail to pay any amount required to be paid under this paragraph on or before
such Business Day (or to cause payment thereof when due pursuant to a Revolving
Credit Borrowing), then (A) such unpaid amount shall bear interest, for each day
from and including such Business Day to but excluding the date of payment, at a
rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to overdue ABR Loans that
are Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 2.07 (provided that the 2.00%
margin referred to therein shall not be applicable until the first Business Day
after the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent that such L/C
Disbursement has been or will be made), (B) the Administrative Agent shall
notify the respective Fronting Bank and the Revolving Credit Lenders thereof,
(C) each Revolving Credit Lender shall comply with its obligation under
paragraph (iv) above by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the
same manner as provided in Section 2.02(c) with respect to Loans made by such
Revolving Credit Lender (and Section 2.02(d) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to
the payment obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders) and (D) the
Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the respective Fronting Bank amounts
so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lenders. The Administrative Agent
shall promptly pay to the respective Fronting Bank on a pro rata basis with
respect to outstanding L/C Disbursements any amounts received by it from the
Borrower (or, if applicable, another party pursuant to its obligations under any
other Loan Document) pursuant to this paragraph prior to the time that any
Revolving Credit Lender makes any payment pursuant to paragraph (iv) above; any
such amounts received by the Administrative Agent thereafter shall be promptly
remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Credit Lenders that shall
have made such payments and to such Fronting Bank, as their interests may
appear.

     (vi) Promptly after the issuance of or amendment to any Standby Letter of
Credit, the respective Fronting Bank will notify the Administrative Agent and
the Borrower, in writing, of such issuance or amendment and the notice will be
accompanied by a copy of the issuance or amendment. Promptly upon receipt of
such notice, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender, in writing, of
the issuance or amendment and if requested to do so by a Lender, the


                                       59
<PAGE>

Administrative Agent shall provide such Lender with a copy of the issuance or
amendment. With regards to Commercial Letters of Credit, each Fronting Bank
which has issued one or more Commercial Letters of Credit will send a facsimile
transmission to the Administrative Agent promptly on the first Business Day of
each week, stating the daily aggregate amount available for drawing under
Commercial Letters of Credit for the previous week.

     (b) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower's obligations to reimburse L/C
Disbursements as provided in paragraph (a) above shall be absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances whatsoever,
and irrespective of:

          (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or
     any Loan Document, or any term or provision therein;

          (ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all
     or any of the provisions of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document;

          (iii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that
     the Borrower, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with,
     the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other
     person may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of
     Credit, any Fronting Bank, any Agent or any Lender (other than the defense
     of payment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or a defense
     based on the gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in a
     final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) of
     the respective Fronting Bank) or any other person, whether in connection
     with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other related or
     unrelated agreement or transaction;

          (iv) any draft or other document presented under a 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, provided
     that payment by the applicable Fronting Bank shall not have constituted
     gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in a final and
     non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) of such
     Fronting Bank;

          (v) payment by any Fronting Bank under a Letter of Credit against
     presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the
     terms of such Letter of Credit, provided that payment by such Fronting Bank
     shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct (as
     determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent
     jurisdiction) of such Fronting Bank; and

          (vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of any
     Fronting Bank, the Lenders, any Agent or any other person or any other
     event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the
     foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.20(b),
     constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower's obligations
     hereunder, provided that such act or omission shall not have constituted
     gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in a final and
     non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) of such
     Fronting Bank.

                                       60

     (c) Disbursement Procedures. Each Fronting Bank shall, promptly following
its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for
payment under a Letter of Credit. Each Fronting Bank shall as promptly as
possible give telephonic notification, confirmed by telecopy, to the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower of such demand for payment and whether
such Fronting Bank has made or will make an L/C Disbursement thereunder,
provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not
relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Fronting Bank and the
Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement. The Administrative Agent
shall promptly give each Revolving Credit Lender notice thereof.

     (d) Interim Interest. If any Fronting Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement
in respect of a Letter of Credit, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such
L/C Disbursement in full on such date, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear
interest for the account of such Fronting Bank, for each day from and including
the date of such L/C Disbursement, to but excluding the earlier of the date of
payment or the date on which interest shall commence to accrue thereon as
provided in subparagraph (a)(v) above, at the rate per annum that would apply to
such amount if such amount were an ABR Loan.

     (e) Liability of the Fronting Bank. Without limiting the generality of
paragraph (b) above, it is expressly understood and agreed that the absolute and
unconditional obligation of the Borrower to reimburse L/C Disbursements will not
be excused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in a
final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) of any
Fronting Bank, except as otherwise expressly provided in said paragraph (b).
However, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to excuse any Fronting
Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as
opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived
by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the
Borrower that are caused by such Fronting Bank's gross negligence or willful
misconduct in determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a
Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. It is understood that each
Fronting Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order,
without responsibility for further investigation in making any payment under any
Letter of Credit and, except as otherwise expressly provided in said paragraph
(b), (i) such Fronting Bank's exclusive reliance on the documents presented to
it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein,
including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of
Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the
amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such
Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if such document on
its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any other statement or any
other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged
or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any
respect whatsoever and (ii) any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the
documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in
each case, be deemed not to constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence of
such Fronting Bank.

     (f) Resignation or Removal of a Fronting Bank. Any Fronting Bank may resign
at any time by giving 30 days' prior written notice to the Administrative Agent,
the Lenders and the Borrower, and may be removed at any time by the Borrower by
notice to such Fronting Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, subject


                                       61
<PAGE>

in each case to the appointment by the Borrower of a replacement Fronting Bank
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, provided that (i) Deutsche
Bank Trust Company Americas shall not resign as a Fronting Bank hereunder so
long as it is the Administrative Agent hereunder for any reason other than
compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements and (ii) no
Fronting Bank may resign as to any Letter of Credit previously issued by it.
Subject to the next succeeding sentences of this paragraph (f), upon the
acceptance of any appointment as the Fronting Bank hereunder by a successor
Fronting Bank, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the
interests, rights and obligations of the retiring Fronting Bank and the retiring
Fronting Bank shall be discharged from its obligations to issue additional
Letters of Credit hereunder to the extent of the commitment of the successor
Fronting Bank to provide Letters of Credit. At the time such removal or
resignation shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all accrued and
unpaid fees of such Fronting Bank pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(ii). The
acceptance of any appointment as Fronting Bank hereunder by a successor Fronting
Bank shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such successor, in a
form satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and, from and
after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such successor Fronting Bank
shall have all the rights and obligations of its predecessor Fronting Bank under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) references herein and in
the other Loan Documents to the term "Fronting Bank" shall be deemed to refer to
such successor or to such predecessor Fronting Bank, or to such successor and
all predecessor and current Fronting Banks, as the context shall require. After
the resignation or removal of a Fronting Bank hereunder, such retiring Fronting
Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and
obligations of a Fronting Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or
removal, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

     (g) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, the Borrower shall, on the Business Day the Borrower receives notice
from the Administrative Agent or Revolving Credit Lenders with combined
Revolving Credit Commitments representing a majority of the aggregate Revolving
Credit Commitments (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated,
Revolving Credit Lenders holding participations in outstanding Letters of Credit
representing a majority of the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding
Letters of Credit) thereof and of the amount to be deposited, deposit in an
account with the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Revolving Credit
Lenders an aggregate amount in cash equal to the Revolving L/C Exposure as of
such date. Such deposit shall be held by the Collateral Agent as collateral for
the payment and performance of the Obligations. The Collateral Agent shall have
exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal,
over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such
deposits in Permitted Investments, which investments shall be made at the option
and sole discretion of the Collateral Agent (provided that the Collateral Agent
shall use reasonable efforts to make such investments), such deposits shall not
bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate
in such account. Moneys in such account shall (a) automatically be applied by
the Administrative Agent to reimburse any Fronting Bank for L/C Disbursements
that have not been reimbursed, (b) be held for the satisfaction of the
reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the Revolving L/C Exposure and (c)
if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of
Revolving Credit Lenders holding participations in outstanding Letters of Credit
representing greater than 50% of the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding
Letters of Credit), be applied to satisfy the Obligations. If the Borrower is


                                       62
<PAGE>

required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the
occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as
aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after
all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

     (h) Additional Fronting Banks. From time to time, the Borrower may by
notice to the Administrative Agent designate other Lenders reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as additional Fronting Banks. Such
additional Fronting Banks shall execute a counterpart of this Agreement upon
approval of the Administrative Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld)
and shall thereafter be Fronting Banks hereunder for all purposes and shall have
the Revolving L/C Commitment noted under their signature and, if applicable, the
Revolving L/C Commitment of any other Fronting Bank shall be reduced by the
amount or amounts specified to the Administrative Agent and each affected
Fronting Bank and delivered concurrently with any notice of designation of an
additional Fronting Bank.

     SECTION 2.21. Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender is subject to an order,
judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority that purports to enjoin or
restrain such Lender from making Loans hereunder, then the Borrower may, at its
sole expense and effort and subject to Section 2.15, upon notice to such Lender
and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, at par
plus accrued interest and fees, without recourse (in accordance with and subject
to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including all of its Commitments and the Loans
at the time owing to it and participations in Letters of Credit held by it and
its obligations to acquire such participations) to a financial institution
specified by the Borrower (which may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such
assignment), provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior
written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Revolving Credit
Commitment is being assigned, the Fronting Bank and Swingline Lender), which
consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (ii) such assignment
shall not conflict with or violate any law, rule or regulation or order of any
court or other Governmental Authority and (iii) the Borrower shall have paid to
the assigning Lender all moneys accrued and owing hereunder to it (including
pursuant to this Section 2.21).


                                  ARTICLE III

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

     Each of Holdings and the Borrower represents and warrants to each of the
Lenders that:

     SECTION 3.01. Organization; Powers. Each of Holdings, the Borrower and each
of their Subsidiaries (a) is a partnership, limited liability company or
corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (or, if
applicable in a foreign jurisdiction, enjoys the equivalent status under the
laws of any jurisdiction of organization outside the United States) under the
laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has all requisite power and
authority to own its property and assets and to carry on its business as now

                                       63
<PAGE>

power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each
of the Loan Documents and each other agreement or instrument contemplated
thereby to which it is or will be a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to
borrow and otherwise obtain credit hereunder.

     SECTION 3.02. Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by
Holdings, the Borrower and each of their Subsidiaries of each of the Loan
Documents to which it is a party, and the borrowings hereunder and the
transactions forming a part of the Transaction (a) have been duly authorized by
all corporate, stockholder, limited liability company or partnership action
required to be obtained by Holdings, the Borrower and such Subsidiaries and (b)
will not (i) violate (A) any provision of law, statute, rule or regulation, or
of the certificate or articles of incorporation or other constitutive documents
or By-laws of Holdings, the Borrower or any such Subsidiary, (B) any applicable
order of any court or any rule, regulation or order of any Governmental
Authority or (C) any provision of any indenture, certificate of designation for
preferred stock, agreement or other instrument to which Holdings, the Borrower
or any such Subsidiary is a party or by which any of them or any of their
property is or may be bound, (ii) be in conflict with, result in a breach of or
constitute (alone or with notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any
such indenture, certificate of designation for preferred stock, agreement or
other instrument, where any such conflict, violation, breach or default referred
to in clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 3.02, individually or in the aggregate
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (iii) result
in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon or with respect to any property
or assets now owned or hereafter acquired by Holdings, the Borrower or any such
Subsidiary, other than the Liens created by the Loan Documents.

     SECTION 3.03. Enforceability. This Agreement has been duly executed and
delivered by Holdings and the Borrower and constitutes, and each other Loan
Document when executed and delivered by each Loan Party that is party thereto
will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party
enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as
enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium,
reorganization or other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and
except as enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity
(regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law).

     SECTION 3.04. Governmental Approvals. No action, consent or approval of,
registration or filing with or any other action by any Governmental Authority is
or will be required in connection with the Transaction, except for (a) the
filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and filings with the
United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office
and comparable offices in foreign jurisdictions and equivalent filings in
foreign jurisdictions, (b) recordation of the Mortgages, (c) such as have been
made or obtained and are in full force and effect and (d) such actions, consents
and approvals the failure to obtain or make which could not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

     SECTION 3.05. Financial Statements. Holdings has heretofore furnished to
the Lenders its consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of
operations, cash flows and partner's capital (deficit) (i) as of and for the
fiscal years ended December 31, 2000 and December 31, 2001, audited by and
accompanied by the opinion of Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent public
accountants, and (ii) as of and for the portion of the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2002 (in the case of clause (ii), without footnotes and without a


                                       64
<PAGE>

statement of partner's capital (deficit)), in each case as filed with the SEC.
Such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position and results of operations of Holdings and its consolidated
Subsidiaries (including the Borrower) as of such dates and for such periods.
None of Holdings, its consolidated Subsidiaries and the Borrower has or shall
have as of the Closing Date any material Guarantee, contingent liability or
liability for taxes, or any long-term lease or unusual forward or long-term
commitment, including any interest rate or foreign currency hedging transaction,
which is not reflected in the foregoing statements or the notes thereto, other
than pursuant to the Loan Documents and except as specifically disclosed in
Schedule 3.05 to this Agreement. Such financial statements were prepared in
accordance with GAAP.

     SECTION 3.06. No Material Adverse Change or Material Adverse Effect. Since
December 31, 2001 (but after giving effect to the consummation of the
Transaction) there has been no material adverse change (or occurrence which is
reasonably likely to result in a material adverse change) in the assets,
business, operations, properties, liabilities, profits or condition (financial
or otherwise) of Holdings and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole or of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. Furthermore, since December 31,
2001 (but after giving effect to the Transaction) no Material Adverse Effect has
occurred.

     SECTION 3.07. Title to Properties; Possession Under Leases. (a) Each of
Holdings, the Borrower and each of their Subsidiaries has good and marketable
title to, or valid leasehold interests in, or easements or other limited
property interests in, all its material properties and assets (including all
Mortgaged Properties), except for minor defects in title that do not interfere
with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize
such properties and assets for their intended purposes and except where the
failure to have such title in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect. All such material properties and assets are free
and clear of Liens, other than Liens expressly permitted by Section 6.02.

     (b) Each of Holdings, the Borrower and each of their Subsidiaries has
complied with all obligations under all material leases to which it is a party,
except where the failure to comply would not have a Material Adverse Effect, and
all such leases are in full force and effect, except leases in respect of which
the failure to be in full force and effect could not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of Holdings, the Borrower and each of their
Subsidiaries enjoys peaceful and undisturbed possession under all such material
leases, other than leases which, individually or in the aggregate, are not
material to Holdings and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole or the Borrower and
its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, and in respect of which the failure to enjoy
peaceful and undisturbed possession could not reasonably be expected to,
individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect.

     (c) Each of Holdings, the Borrower and each of their Subsidiaries owns or,
to the best of their knowledge, possesses, or could obtain ownership or
possession of, on terms not materially adverse to it, all patents, trademarks,
service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses and rights with respect thereto
necessary for the present conduct of its business, without any known conflict
with the rights of others, and free from any burdensome restrictions, except
where such conflicts and restrictions could not, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and except
as set forth on Schedule 3.07(c).

                                       65
<PAGE>

     (d) As of the Closing Date, none of Holdings, the Borrower and their
Subsidiaries has received any notice of, or has any knowledge of, any pending or
contemplated condemnation proceeding affecting any of the Mortgaged Properties
or any sale or disposition thereof in lieu of condemnation that remains
unresolved as of the Closing Date.

     (e) None of Holdings, the Borrower and their Subsidiaries is obligated on
the Closing Date under any right of first refusal, option or other contractual
right to sell, assign or otherwise dispose of any Mortgaged Property or any
interest therein, except as permitted under Sections 6.02 or 6.05 or as set
forth on Schedule 3.07(e).

     SECTION 3.08. Co-Borrower; Subsidiaries. (a) As of the Closing Date,
Holdings will have no Subsidiaries other than (x) CapCo II, (y) Opco GP and (z)
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.

     (b) Schedule 3.08 sets forth as of the Closing Date the name and
jurisdiction of incorporation of each Subsidiary of Holdings and, as to each
such Subsidiary, the percentage of each class of Equity Interests owned by
Holdings or by any such Subsidiary.

     (c) As of the Closing Date, there are no outstanding subscriptions,
options, warrants, calls, rights or other agreements or commitments (other than
stock options granted to employees or directors and directors' qualifying
shares) of any nature relating to any Equity Interests of Holdings or any of its
Subsidiaries, except under the Loan Documents or as set forth on Schedule 3.08.

     SECTION 3.09. Litigation; Compliance with Laws. (a) Except as set forth in
Schedule 3.09, there are not any material actions, suits or proceedings at law
or in equity or by or before any Governmental Authority now pending or, to the
knowledge of Holdings or the Borrower, threatened against or affecting Holdings,
the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries or any business, property or rights of
any such person (i) which involve any Loan Document or the Transaction or (ii)
as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and
which, if adversely determined, could, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or materially
adversely affect the Transaction.

     (b) None of Holdings, the Borrower, their Subsidiaries and their respective
material properties or assets is in violation of (nor will the continued
operation of their material properties and assets as currently conducted
violate) any law, rule or regulation (including any zoning, building,
Environmental Law, ordinance, code or approval or any building permit) or any
restriction of record or agreement affecting any Mortgaged Property, or is in
default with respect to any judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any
Governmental Authority, where such violation or default could reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

     SECTION 3.10. Agreements. None of Holdings, the Borrower and their
Subsidiaries is in default in any manner under any provision of any indenture or
other agreement or instrument evidencing Indebtedness, or any other material
agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its
properties or assets are or may be bound, in either case where such default
could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Immediately


                                       66
<PAGE>

after giving effect to the Transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing.

     SECTION 3.11. Federal Reserve Regulations. (a) None of Holdings, the
Borrower and their Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its
important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of
purchasing or carrying Margin Stock.

     (b) No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used, whether directly or
indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, (i) to purchase
or carry Margin Stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of
purchasing or carrying Margin Stock or to refund indebtedness originally
incurred for such purpose, or (ii) for any purpose which entails a violation of,
or which is inconsistent with, the provisions of the Regulations of the Board,
including Regulation U or X.

     SECTION 3.12. Investment Company Act; Public Utility Holding Company Act.
None of Holdings, the Borrower and their Subsidiaries is (a) an "investment
company" as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, or (b) a "holding company" as defined in, or subject to
regulation under, the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended.

     SECTION 3.13. Use of Proceeds. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the
Loans and will request the issuance of Letters of Credit only for the purposes
specified in the preamble to this Agreement. The Co-Borrower shall not use the
proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit.

     SECTION 3.14. Tax Returns. Each of Holdings, the Borrower and each of their
Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be timely filed all federal, and all
material state and local, tax returns required to have been filed by it and has
paid or caused to be paid all taxes shown thereon to be due and payable by it
and all assessments in excess of $2,000,000 in the aggregate received by it,
except taxes or assessments that are being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings in accordance with Section 5.03 and for which the
Borrower has set aside on its books in accordance with GAAP adequate reserves
and taxes, assessments, charges, levies or claims in respect of property taxes
for property that Holdings, the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries has
determined to abandon where the sole recourse for such tax, assessment, charge,
levy or claim is to such property. Each of Holdings, the Borrower and each of
their Subsidiaries has paid in full or made adequate provision (in accordance
with GAAP) for the payment of all taxes due with respect to all periods ending
on or before the Closing Date, which taxes, if not paid or adequately provided
for, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as
set forth on Schedule 3.14, as of the Closing Date, with respect to each of
Holdings, the Borrower and each of their Subsidiaries, (a) no material claims
are being asserted in writing with respect to any taxes, (b) no presently
effective waivers or extensions of statutes of limitation with respect to taxes
have been given or requested, (c) no tax returns are being examined by, and no
written notification of intention to examine has been received from, the
Internal Revenue Service or, with respect to any material potential tax
liability, any other taxing authority and (d) no currently pending issues have
been raised in writing by the Internal Revenue Service or, with respect to any
material potential tax liability, any other taxing authority. For purposes


                                       67
<PAGE>

hereof, "taxes" shall mean any present or future tax, levy, impost, duty,
charge, assessment or fee of any nature (including interest, penalties and
additions thereto) that is imposed by any Governmental Authority.

     SECTION 3.15. No Material Misstatements. (a) The written information,
reports, financial statements, exhibits and schedules furnished by or on behalf
of Holdings, the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries to the Administrative
Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of any Loan Document or
included therein or delivered pursuant thereto (including the Confidential
Information Memorandum dated January 2003 relating to the Borrower (the
"Information Memorandum") but excluding the financial projections referred to in
Section 3.15(b)), when taken as a whole, did not contain, and as they may be
amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, will not contain, as of the
Closing Date any material misstatement of fact and did not omit, and as they may
be amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, will not omit, to state
as of the Closing Date any material fact necessary to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were, are or will be
made, not materially misleading in their presentation of the Transaction or of
Holdings, the Borrower and their Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

     (b) All financial projections concerning Holdings, the Borrower and their
Subsidiaries that are or have been made available to the Administrative Agent or
any Lender by Holdings, the Borrower or any such Subsidiary have been or will be
prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by Holdings and the
Borrower to be reasonable on the Closing Date.

     SECTION 3.16. Employee Benefit Plans. Each of Holdings, the Borrower and
the ERISA Affiliates is in compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA
and the provisions of the Code relating to ERISA and the regulations and
published interpretations thereunder and any similar applicable non-U.S. law
except for such noncompliance which could not reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect. No Reportable Event has occurred as to which
Holdings, the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate was required to file a report with
the PBGC, other than reports for which the 30 day notice requirement is waived,
reports that have been filed and reports the failure of which to file could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. As of the Closing
Date, the present value of all benefit liabilities under each Plan of Holdings,
the Borrower and the ERISA Affiliates (on a termination basis and based on those
assumptions used to fund such Plan) did not, as of the last annual valuation
date applicable thereto for which a valuation is available, exceed by more than
$20,000,000 the value of the assets of such Plan, and the present value of all
benefit liabilities of all underfunded Plans (based on those assumptions used to
fund each such Plan) did not, as of the last annual valuation dates applicable
thereto for which valuations are available, exceed by more than $20,000,000 the
value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans. None of Holdings, the
Borrower and the ERISA Affiliates has incurred or could reasonably be expected
to incur any Withdrawal Liability that could reasonably be expected to result in
a Material Adverse Effect. None of Holdings, the Borrower and the ERISA
Affiliates have received any written notification that any Multiemployer Plan is
in reorganization or has been terminated within the meaning of Title IV of
ERISA, and no Multiemployer Plan is reasonably expected to be in reorganization
or to be terminated, where such reorganization or termination has resulted or
could reasonably be expected to result, through increases in the contributions
required to be made to such Plan or otherwise, in a Material Adverse Effect.

                                       68
<PAGE>

     SECTION 3.17. Environmental Matters. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.17:

     (a) There has not been a Release or threatened Release of Hazardous
Materials at, on, under or around the properties currently or formerly owned,
operated or leased by Holdings, the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries (the
"Properties") in amounts or concentrations which (i) constitute or constituted a
violation of Environmental Laws, except as could not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect; (ii) would reasonably be expected to give rise
to an Environmental Claim that, in any such case or in the aggregate, is
reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect; or (iii) could
reasonably be expected to impair materially the fair saleable value of any
material Property;

     (b) The Properties and all operations of Holdings, the Borrower and their
Subsidiaries are in compliance, and in all prior periods have been in
compliance, with all Environmental Laws, and all necessary Environmental Permits
have been obtained and are in effect, except to the extent that such
non-compliance or failure to obtain any necessary permits, in the aggregate, are
not reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect;

     (c) None of Holdings, the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries has
received any Environmental Claim in connection with the Properties or the
operations of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or with regard to any person
whose liabilities for environmental matters Holdings, the Borrower or any of
their Subsidiaries has retained or assumed, in whole or in part, contractually,
by operation of law or otherwise, which, in either such case or in the
aggregate, is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect;

     (d) Hazardous Materials have not been transported from the Properties, nor
have Hazardous Materials been generated, treated, stored or disposed of at, on,
under or around any of the Properties in a manner that could reasonably give
rise to liability under any Environmental Law, nor have any of Holdings, the

          (ii) the designation of any form, type or amount of insurance coverage
     by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders

contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and Holdings, the Borrower or

     SECTION 7.02. Borrower's Right to Cure. (a) Financial Performance
Covenants. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 7.01,
in the event that Holdings and the Borrower fail to comply with the requirements
of any Financial Performance Covenant, until the expiration of the 10th day
subsequent to the date the certificate calculating such Financial Performance
Covenant is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.04(c), Holdings shall
have the right to issue Permitted Cure Securities for cash or otherwise receive
cash contributions to the capital of Holdings, and, in each case, to contribute
any such cash to the capital of Borrower (collectively, the "Cure Right"), and
upon the receipt by Borrower of such cash (the "Cure Amount") pursuant to the
exercise by Holdings of such Cure Right such Financial Performance Covenant
shall be recalculated giving effect to the following pro forma adjustments:

          (i) EBITDA shall be increased, solely for the purpose of measuring the
     Financial Performance Covenants and not for any other purpose under this
     Agreement, by an amount equal to the Cure Amount; and

          (ii) if, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations, Holdings
     and Borrower shall then be in compliance with the requirements of all
     Financial Performance Covenants, Holdings and Borrower shall be deemed to
     have satisfied the requirements of the Financial Performance Covenants as
     of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there
     had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable
     breach or default of the Financial Performance Covenants which had occurred
     shall be deemed cured for all purposes of the Agreement.

     (b) Limitation on Exercise of Cure Right. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, (a) in no event shall Holdings be entitled to exercise the Cure
Right in more than three consecutive fiscal quarters, (b) in any ten fiscal
quarter period, there must be a period of at least four consecutive fiscal
quarters during which Holdings has not exercised its Cure Right and (c) each
Cure Amount shall not exceed the amount required to cure the applicable failure
to comply with a Financial Performance Covenant.


                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                   THE AGENTS

     SECTION 8.01. Appointment. (a) In order to expedite the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas is hereby
appointed to act as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent and a Fronting
Bank, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. is hereby appointed to act as Sole Lead
Arranger, Salomon Smith Barney Inc. is hereby appointed to act as Syndication
Agent and LaSalle Bank National Association is hereby appointed to act as
Documentation Agent. Each of the Lenders and each assignee of any such Lender
hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agents to take such actions on behalf of such
Lender or assignee or any Fronting Bank and to exercise such powers as are
specifically delegated to the Agents by the terms and provisions hereof and of
the other Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent is hereby expressly
authorized by the Lenders and each Fronting Bank, without hereby limiting any


                                      107
<PAGE>

implied authority, (a) to receive on behalf of the Lenders and such Fronting
Bank all payments of principal of and interest on the Loans, all payments in
respect of L/C Disbursements and all other amounts due to the Lenders and such
Fronting Bank hereunder, and promptly to distribute to each Lender or Fronting
Bank its proper share of each payment so received; (b) to give notice on behalf
of each of the Lenders to the Borrower of any Event of Default specified in this
Agreement of which the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge acquired in
connection with its agency hereunder; and (c) to distribute to each Lender
copies of all notices, financial statements and other materials delivered by the
Borrower pursuant to this Agreement as received by the Administrative Agent.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents are hereby
expressly authorized to execute any and all documents (including releases) with
respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect
thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement and the Security Documents. In the event that any party other than the
Lenders and the Agents shall participate in all or any portion of the Collateral
pursuant to the Security Documents, all rights and remedies in respect of such
Collateral shall be controlled by the Collateral Agent.

     (b) Neither the Agents nor any of their respective directors, officers,
employees or agents shall be liable as such for any action taken or omitted by
any of them except for its or his own gross negligence or willful misconduct, or
be responsible for any statement, warranty or representation herein or the
contents of any document delivered in connection herewith, or be required to
ascertain or to make any inquiry concerning the performance or observance by the
Borrower or any other Loan Party of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or
agreements contained in any Loan Document. The Agents shall not be responsible
to the Lenders for the due execution, genuineness, validity, enforceability or
effectiveness of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or other instruments
or agreements. The Agents shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or
refraining from acting, in accordance with written instructions signed by the
Required Lenders and, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, such
instructions and any action or inaction pursuant thereto shall be binding on all
the Lenders. Each Agent shall, in the absence of knowledge to the contrary, be
entitled to rely on any instrument or document believed by it in good faith to
be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or
persons. Neither the Agents nor any of their respective directors, officers,
employees or agents shall have any responsibility to the Borrower or any other
Loan Party on account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach by any
Lender or any Fronting Bank of any of its obligations hereunder or to any Lender
or any Fronting Bank on account of the failure of or delay in performance or
breach by any other Lender or any Fronting Bank or the Borrower or any other
Loan Party of any of their respective obligations hereunder or under any other
Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith. Each of the Agents may
execute any and all duties hereunder by or through agents or employees and shall
be entitled to rely upon the advice of legal counsel selected by it with respect
to all matters arising hereunder and shall not be liable for any action taken or
suffered in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel.

     SECTION 8.02. Nature of Duties. The Lenders hereby acknowledge that neither
Agent shall be under any duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be
taken by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement unless it shall be
requested in writing to do so by the Required Lenders. The Lenders further
acknowledge and agree that so long as an Agent shall make any determination to
be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document in good faith, such


                                      108
<PAGE>

Agent shall have no liability in respect of such determination to any person.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the
Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those
expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and
no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or
liabilities shall be read into the Loan Documents or otherwise exist against the
Administrative Agent. Each Lender recognizes and agrees that the Sole Lead
Arranger, the Syndication Agent and the Documentation Agent shall not have any
duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or
any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and shall have no functions,
responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities for acting as the Sole Lead
Arranger, Syndication Agent or Documentation Agent hereunder.

     SECTION 8.03. Resignation by the Agents. Subject to the appointment and
acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, any Agent may resign at any
time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the
Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor with the consent of
the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor shall
have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and approved by the Borrower and
shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent
gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the
Lenders with the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New
York, New York, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000
or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as
Agent hereunder by a successor bank, such successor shall succeed to and become
vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent
and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
hereunder. After the Agent's resignation hereunder, the provisions of this
Article and Section 9.05 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of
any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent. It
is hereby understood that in the event that the Syndication Agent or Sole Lead
Arranger resigns, no successor to the Syndication Agent or Sole Lead Arranger,
as the case may be, shall be required.

     SECTION 8.04. Each Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to the
Loans made by it hereunder, each Agent in its individual capacity and not as
Agent shall have the same rights and powers as any other Lender and may exercise
the same as though it were not an Agent, and the Agents and their Affiliates may
accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business
with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates thereof as if
it were not an Agent.

     SECTION 8.05. Indemnification. Each Lender agrees (a) to reimburse the
Agents, on demand, in the amount of its pro rata share (based on its Commitments
hereunder (or if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in
accordance with the respective principal amounts of its applicable outstanding
Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements, as applicable)) of any reasonable
expenses incurred for the benefit of the Lenders by the Agents, including
counsel fees and compensation of agents and employees paid for services rendered
on behalf of the Lenders, which shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrower
and (b) to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent and any of its directors,
officers, employees or agents, on demand, in the amount of such pro rata share,
from and against any and all liabilities, taxes, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any


                                      109
<PAGE>

kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against it in its capacity as Agent or any of them in any way relating to or
arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken or
omitted by it or any of them under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, to
the extent the same shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrower, provided
that no Lender shall be liable to an Agent for any portion of such liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents.

     SECTION 8.06. Lack of Reliance on Agents. Each Lender acknowledges that it
has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and
based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its
own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or
any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from
time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or
not taking action under or based upon this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

the latest unrevoked direction from such party given in accordance with this
Section 9.01.

     SECTION 9.02. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties made by the Borrower and the Guarantors herein,
in the other Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments
prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any
other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders
and each Fronting Bank and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans,
the execution and delivery to the Lenders of the Loan Documents and the issuance
of the Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by the Lenders or
on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the
principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or L/C Disbursement or any Fee
or any other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is
outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the
Commitments have not been terminated. Without prejudice to the survival of any
other agreements contained herein, indemnification and reimbursement obligations

shall survive the payment in full of the principal and interest hereunder, the
expiration of the Letters of Credit and the termination of the Commitments or
this Agreement.

     SECTION 9.03. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it
shall have been executed by Holdings, the Borrower, the Co-Borrower, and the
Agents and when the Administrative Agent shall have received copies hereof

Holdings, the Borrower, the Co-Borrower, each Fronting Bank, the Agents and each
Lender and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

     SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (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 Loan Party may assign
or transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest hereunder or under any
other Loan Document without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders
(except in a merger or consolidation transaction permitted by Section 6.05) and,
provided further, that, although any Lender may transfer, assign or grant
participations in its rights hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof, such
Lender shall remain a "Lender" for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer
or assign all or any portion of its Commitments hereunder except as provided in
Section 9.04(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 Loan Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i)
extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan, Note or Letter of Credit
(unless such Letter of Credit is not extended beyond the Revolving Credit
Maturity Date) in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or
extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except (x) in connection
with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates
and (y) that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this
Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest for purposes
of this clause (i)) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the
amount of the participant's participation over the amount thereof then in effect


                                      111
<PAGE>

(it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a
mandatory reduction in the total Commitments shall not constitute a change in
the terms of such participation, and 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), (ii) consent to the
assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement or (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral
under all of the Security Documents (except as expressly provided in the Loan
Documents) supporting the Loans hereunder in which such participant is
participating. In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not
have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Loan 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 Borrower 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 Commitments
(and related outstanding Obligations hereunder), and/or its outstanding Term
Loans to its (i) parent company and/or any affiliate of such Lender which is at
least 50% owned by such Lender or its parent company or (ii) in the case of any
Lender that is a fund that invests in loans, any other fund that invests in
loans and is managed and/or advised by the same investment advisor of such
Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor or (iii) to one or more
Lenders or (y) assign all, or if less than all, (I) a portion equal to at least
(i) $1,000,000 in the case of Term Loans and (ii) $5,000,000 in the case of
Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstanding Obligations), in each
case, in the aggregate for the assigning Lender or assigning Lenders (treating
(1) any fund that invests in bank loans and (2) 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) or (II) a
portion equal to all of such assigning Lender's Commitments or outstanding Loans
under a particular Tranche, of such Revolving Credit Commitments and outstanding
principal amount of Term Loans hereunder to one or more Eligible Transferees,
each of which assignees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by
execution of an Assignment and Acceptance, provided that, (i) at such time
Schedule 2.01 shall be deemed modified to reflect the Commitments (and/or
outstanding Term Loans, as the case may be) of such new Lender and of the
existing Lenders, (ii) the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower
shall be required in connection with any such assignment pursuant to clause (y)
above (which consents (x) shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and (y)
in the case of the Borrower, shall not be required (A) if a Default or Event of
Default under Section 7.01(h) or (i) exists at such time, or (B) in connection
with an assignment by DBTCA or Citicorp North America, Inc. pursuant to said
clause (y) within four weeks following the Closing Date made in consultation
with the Borrower as part of the primary syndication of Loans and Commitments),
(iv) the consent of the Swingline Lender and DBTCA, as Fronting Bank, shall be
required in connection with any assignment of all or any portion of the
Revolving Credit Commitments of any Lender and (v) 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. To
the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 9.04(b), the assigning
Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its
assigned Commitments (it being understood that the indemnification provisions
under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.13, 2.15, 2.19
and 9.05) shall survive as to such assigning Lender). At the time of each
assignment pursuant to this Section 9.04(b) to a person which is not already a
Lender hereunder and which is not a United States person (as such term is


                                      112
<PAGE>

defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for federal income tax purposes, the
respective assignee Lender shall provide to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms described in Section
2.19(f).

     (c) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the
Borrower, shall maintain at its address referred to in subsection 9.01 a copy of
each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the "Register")
for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the
Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans and L/C Disbursements owing
to, each Lender from time to time. The Administrative Agent shall also record
the Revolving L/C Exposure of each Lender in the Register. The entries in the
Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Fronting Bank and the Lenders shall
treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of
Commitments and the Loans and Revolving L/C Exposures recorded therein for all
purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by
the Borrower, any Fronting Bank, any Lender and their representatives (including
counsel and accountants), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice.

     (d) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or
participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section
9.04, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or
participant any information relating to the Borrower or any Guarantor furnished
to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Guarantor, provided that,
prior to any such disclosure, each such assignee or participant or proposed
assignee or participant shall agree to be bound by Section 9.16.

     (e) Any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights
under this Agreement to a Federal Reserve Bank and, with prior written notice to
the Administrative Agent, any Lender which is a fund that invests in loans may
pledge all or any portion of its Loans or Notes to its trustee in support of its
obligations to the trustee on customary terms, provided that no such assignment
shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

     (f) In the event that Standard & Poor's Ratings Group or Moody's Investors
Service, Inc. shall, after the date that any Lender becomes a Lender, downgrade
the long-term certificate deposit ratings or long-term senior unsecured debt
ratings of such Lender (or the parent company thereof), and the resulting
ratings shall be BBB+ or Baa1 or lower, then any Fronting Bank shall have the
right, but not the obligation, at its own expense, upon notice to such Lender
and the Administrative Agent, to replace (or to request the Borrower, at the
sole expense of such Fronting Bank, to use its reasonable efforts to replace)
such Lender with respect to such Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment with an
assignee (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in
paragraph (b) above), and such Lender hereby agrees to transfer and assign
without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained
in paragraph (b) above) all its interests, rights and obligations in respect of
its Revolving Credit Commitment to such assignee; provided, however, that (i) no
such assignment shall conflict with any law, rule and regulation or order of any
Governmental Authority and (ii) such assignee shall pay to such Lender in
immediately available funds on the date of such assignment the principal of and
interest accrued to the date of payment on the Loans and L/C Disbursements of
such Lender hereunder and all other amounts accrued for such Lender's account or
owed to it hereunder.

                                      113
<PAGE>

     (g) Except as provided in Section 2.13(d), no Fronting Bank shall assign or
delegate any of its interests, rights or obligations as a Fronting Bank under
this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders.

     SECTION 9.05. Expenses; Indemnity. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents in connection with the
preparation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or by the Agents in
connection with the syndication of the Commitments or the administration of this
Agreement (including expenses incurred in connection with due diligence and
initial and ongoing Collateral examination to the extent incurred with the
reasonable prior approval of the Borrower) or in connection with any amendments,
modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the
transactions hereby contemplated shall be consummated) or incurred by the Agents
or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of their rights
in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection
with the Loans made or the Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including the
reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of White & Case LLP, counsel for the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, and, in connection with any such
enforcement or protection, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any
other counsel (including the reasonable allocated costs of internal counsel if a
Lender elects to use internal counsel in lieu of outside counsel) for the
Agents, any Fronting Bank or any Lender (but no more than one such counsel for
any Lender).

     (b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Agents, each Fronting Bank, each
Lender and each of their respective directors, trustees, officers, employees,
affiliates and agents (each such person being called an "Indemnitee") against,
and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and
disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in
any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated
hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto and thereto of their
respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transaction and the
other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds
of the Loans or the use of any Letter of Credit or (iii) any claim, litigation,
investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any
Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any
Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or related expenses result from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee (treating, for this purpose only, any Agent, any
Fronting Bank or any Lender and its directors, trustees, officers, affiliates
and employees as a single Indemnitee). Subject to and without limiting the
generality of the foregoing sentence, the Borrower agrees to indemnify each
Indemnitee against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel
or consultant fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against
any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (A)
any Environmental Claim related in any way to Holdings, the Borrower or any of
their Subsidiaries, or (B) any actual or alleged presence, Release or threatened
Release of Hazardous Materials on any Property or any property owned, leased or
operated by any predecessor of Holdings, the Borrower or any of their
Subsidiaries, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be
available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or


                                      114
<PAGE>

related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final
and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its directors, trustees, officers or
employees. The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in
full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this
Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the
repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any
term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any
investigation made by or on behalf of any Agent, any Fronting Bank or any
Lender. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable on written
demand therefor.

     (c) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Borrower shall be entitled to assume the defense of any action for which
indemnification is sought hereunder with counsel of its choice at its expense
(in which case the Borrower shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and
expenses of any separate counsel retained by an Indemnitee except as set forth
below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to
each such Indemnitee. Notwithstanding the Borrower's election to assume the
defense of such action, each Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate
counsel and to participate in the defense of such action, and the Borrower shall
bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel, if (i)
the use of counsel chosen by the Borrower to represent such Indemnitee would
present such counsel with a conflict of interest; (ii) the actual or potential
defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the Borrower and such
Indemnitee and such Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be
legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those
available to the Borrower (in which case the Borrower shall not have the right
to assume the defense or such action on behalf of such Indemnitee); (iii) the
Borrower shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to such
Indemnitee to represent it within a reasonable time after notice of the
institution of such action; or (iv) the Borrower shall authorize such Indemnitee
to employ separate counsel at the Borrower's expense. The Borrower will not be
liable under this Agreement for any amount paid by an Indemnitee to settle any
claims or actions if the settlement is entered into without the Borrower's
consent, which consent may not be withheld or delayed unless such settlement is
unreasonable in light of such claims or actions against, and defenses available
to, such Indemnitee.

     (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.05, this
Section 9.05 shall not apply to taxes, it being understood that the Borrower's
only obligations with respect to taxes shall arise under Sections 2.13 and 2.19.

     SECTION 9.06. Right of Setoff. (a) If an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each Fronting Bank is hereby
authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or
demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any
time owing by such Lender or such Fronting Bank (including, without limitation,
by branches and agencies of such Lender wherever located) to or for the credit
or the account of Holdings or the Borrower against any of and all the
obligations of Holdings or the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document held by such Lender or such Fronting Bank,
irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such Fronting Bank shall have made
any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although such
obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender and the Fronting Bank


                                      115
<PAGE>

under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including
other rights of setoff) which such Lender or such Fronting Bank may have.

     (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 FRONTING BANK SHALL EXERCISE A RIGHT OF SETOFF,
LENDER'S 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, 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 ANY FRONTING BANK OF ANY SUCH RIGHT WITHOUT OBTAINING
SUCH CONSENT OF THE REQUIRED LENDERS SHALL BE NULL AND VOID. THIS SUBSECTION (b)
SHALL BE SOLELY FOR THE BENEFIT OF EACH OF THE LENDERS AND EACH FRONTING BANK
HEREUNDER.

     SECTION 9.07. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS
(OTHER THAN LETTERS OF CREDIT AND AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH LETTER OF CREDIT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OR RULES DESIGNATED IN SUCH LETTER OF
CREDIT, OR IF NO SUCH LAWS OR RULES ARE DESIGNATED, THE UNIFORM CUSTOMS AND
PRACTICE FOR DOCUMENTARY CREDITS (1993 REVISION), INTERNATIONAL CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE, PUBLICATION NO. 500 (THE "UNIFORM CUSTOMS") AND, AS TO MATTERS NOT
GOVERNED BY THE UNIFORM CUSTOMS, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

     SECTION 9.08. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Agents,
any Fronting Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or
under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single
or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights
and remedies of the Agents, each Fronting Bank and the Lenders hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any
rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by
Holdings, the Borrower or any Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be
effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then
such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for
the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on Holdings, the Borrower or


                                      116
<PAGE>

any Guarantor in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further
notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

     (b) Subject to the provisions of following clause (c), neither this
Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be
changed, waived, discharged or terminated unless such change, waiver, discharge
or termination is in writing signed by the respective Loan Parties party thereto
and the Required Lenders, provided that no such change, waiver, discharge or
termination shall, without the consent of each Lender (with Obligations being
directly affected in the case of following clause (i)), (i) extend the final
scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note (including by way of an amendment or
waiver of the proviso contained in the definition of "Term Loan Maturity Date")
or extend the stated maturity of any Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving Loan
Maturity Date, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or
Fees thereon (except (x) in connection with the waiver of applicability of any
post-default increase in interest rates and (y) that any amendment or
modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute
a reduction in the rate of interest for purposes of this clause (i)), or reduce
the principal amount thereof (except to the extent repaid in cash), (ii) release
all or substantially all of the Collateral (except as expressly provided in the
Loan Documents) under all the Security Documents, (iii) amend, modify or waive
any provision of this Section 9.08, (iv) reduce the percentage specified in the
definition of Required 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 Required Lenders on substantially
the same basis as the extensions of Term Loans and the Revolving Loan
Commitments are included on the Closing Date) or (v) consent to the assignment
or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement; provided further, that no such change, waiver, discharge or
termination shall (u) 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 aggregate Commitments 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), (v) without the consent of the
Swingline Lender or, in the case of Letters of Credit, the respective Fronting
Bank, amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.01(c) or 2.20,
respectively, or alter its rights or obligations with respect to Letters of
Credit or Swingline Loans, (w) without the consent of each Agent affected
thereby, amend, modify or waive any provision of Article VIII as same applies to
such Agent or any other provision as same relates to the rights or obligations
of such Agent, (x) without the consent of the Collateral Agent, amend, modify or
waive any provision relating to the rights or obligations of the Collateral
Agent, (y) 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 (or without the consent of the Majority
Lenders of each Tranche in the case of an amendment to the definition of
Majority Lenders), 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 Term Loans and the
Revolving Loan Commitments are included on the Closing Date) or alter the
required application of any prepayments or repayments (or commitment
reductions), as between the various Tranches, pursuant to Section 2.11 or 2.12
(excluding Section 2.11(a)) (although (x) the Required Lenders may waive, in


                                      117
<PAGE>

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 and (y) if additional Tranches of Term Loans are extended after
the Closing Date with the consent of the Required Lenders as required above,
such Tranches may be included on a pro rata basis in the various prepayments or
repayments required pursuant to Sections 2.11 and 2.12 (excluding Section
2.11(a)) and any section providing scheduled installments for any new Tranche of
Term Loans) or (z) without the consent of the Supermajority Lenders of the
respective Tranche, reduce the amount of, or extend any Term Loan Installment
Date or the installment otherwise due on such date applicable to such Tranche
or, without the consent of the Supermajority Lenders of each Tranche, 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 Term Loans and the Revolving
Loan Commitments are included on the Closing Date); provided further that, with
the written consent of the Agents and the Borrower, (i) amendments may be made
to the Loan Documents to effect technical or administrative changes required as
a result of the IPO Reorganization and (ii) amendments may be made to the Loan
Documents to the extent deemed necessary or desirable by the Agents (x) to
secure, on an equal and ratable basis with the Obligations of the Borrower and
the other Loan Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, any
Indebtedness incurred by the Borrower and any other Loan Party pursuant to
clause (ii) of the definition of New Senior Notes Refinancing, (y) to evidence
or give effect to the Tranche II Term Loan Refinancing and the security
interests contemplated thereby (including, without limitation, modifications to
the application of proceeds provisions contained in the Security Documents and
the inclusion of appropriate class protections for the benefit of the holders of
first-priority security interests and second-priority security interests); and
provided further, without limiting the foregoing, each Lender agrees it will, if
requested by the Agents, enter into additional amendments to the Loan Documents
to the extent deemed reasonably necessary or desirable by the Agents in
connection with the Tranche II Term Loan Refinancing or the New Senior Notes
Refinancing, in each case, to the extent such additional amendments are
reasonably satisfactory to such Lender.

     (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) this Agreement may be amended (or
amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower (a) to add one or more additional credit
facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to
time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof
to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
with the Term Loans and extensions of credit under the Revolving Credit
Commitments and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to
include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any
determination of the Required Lenders and Supermajority Lenders and (ii) this
Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent,
the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Term Loans (as
defined below) to permit the refinancing of all outstanding Tranche I Term Loans
and/or Tranche II Term Loans ("Refinanced Term Loans") with a replacement term
loan tranche hereunder ("Replacement Term Loans"), provided that (a) the
aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Term Loans shall not exceed the
aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Term Loans, (b) the Applicable
Margin for such Replacement Term Loans shall not be higher than the Applicable
Margin for such Refinanced Term Loans, (c) the weighted average life to maturity


                                      118
<PAGE>

of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the weighted average
life to maturity of such Refinanced Term Loans at the time of such refinancing
and (d) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Term Loans shall be
substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders providing such
Replacement Term Loans than, those applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans,
except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms
applicable to any period after the latest final maturity of the Term Loans in
effect immediately prior to such refinancing.

     SECTION 9.09. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, if at any time the applicable interest rate, together with all
fees and charges that are treated as interest under applicable law
(collectively, the "Charges"), as provided for herein or in any other document
executed in connection herewith, or otherwise contracted for, charged, received,
taken or reserved by any Lender or any Fronting Bank, shall exceed the maximum
lawful rate (the "Maximum Rate") that may be contracted for, charged, taken,
received or reserved by such Lender in accordance with applicable law, the rate
of interest payable hereunder, together with all Charges payable to such Lender
or such Fronting Bank, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate, provided that such
excess amount shall be paid to such Lender or such Fronting Bank on subsequent
payment dates to the extent not exceeding the legal limitation.

     SECTION 9.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents
and the agreements regarding certain Fees referred to herein constitute the
entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any
previous agreement among or representations from the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed
or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto
and thereto any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason
of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

     SECTION 9.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY
JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER
OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH
PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY
OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD
NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B)
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER
INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER
THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11.

     SECTION 9.12. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions
contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall
not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in
good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable


                                      119
<PAGE>

provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as
possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

     SECTION 9.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when
taken together shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as
provided in Section 9.03.

     SECTION 9.14. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of
Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this
Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into
consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

     SECTION 9.15. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each of
Holdings and the Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for
itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State
court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City,
and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising
out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for
recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any
such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or,
to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of the parties
hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be
conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or
in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any
right that any Lender or any Fronting Bank may otherwise have to bring any
action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents
against Holdings, the Borrower or any Guarantor or their properties in the
courts of any jurisdiction.

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

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

     SECTION 9.16. Confidentiality. Each of the Lenders, the Fronting Bank and
each of the Agents agrees that it shall maintain in confidence any information
relating to Holdings, the Borrower and the other Loan Parties furnished to it by
or on behalf of Holdings, the Borrower or the other Loan Parties (other than
information that (a) has become generally available to the public other than as
a result of a disclosure by such party, (b) has been independently developed by
such Lender, such Fronting Bank or such Agent without violating this Section
9.16 or (c) was available to such Lender, such Fronting Bank or such Agent from
a third party having, to such person's knowledge, no obligations of
confidentiality to Holdings, the Borrower or any other Loan Party) and shall not


                                      120
<PAGE>

reveal the same other than (i) to its directors, trustees, officers, employees
and advisors with a need to know or to any person that approves or administers
the Loans on behalf of such Lender (so long as each such person shall have been
instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 9.16)
and (ii) as contemplated by Section 9.04(d), except: (A) to the extent necessary
to comply with law or any legal process or the requirements of any Governmental
Authority or of any securities exchange on which securities of the disclosing
party or any Affiliate of the disclosing party are listed or traded, (B) as part
of normal reporting or review procedures to Governmental Authorities, (C) to its
parent companies, Affiliates or auditors (so long as each such person shall have
been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section
9.16), (D) in order to enforce its rights under any Loan Document in a legal
proceeding and (E) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in swap
agreements or such contractual counterparty's professional advisor (so long as

prior to the 90th day after the Closing Date, no Lender, Agent or Fronting Bank
shall, without the prior consent of the Borrower, make any public announcement
(except to the extent required by law) concerning the Transaction or the
financing therefor. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the
parties hereto (and any employee, representative, or other agent thereof) may
disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the structure
and tax aspects (as such terms are used in Temporary Treasury Regulations
Section 1.6011-4T(b)(3)) of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and
all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) related to
such structure and tax aspects. Further, each of the parties hereto hereby
acknowledges that it has no proprietary rights to any tax matter or tax idea
related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

     SECTION 9.17. Release of Liens and Guarantees. (a) In the event that
Holdings, the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries conveys, sells, leases,
assigns, transfers or otherwise disposes of all or any portion of any of the
Equity Interests, assets or property of Holdings, the Borrower or any of their
Subsidiaries to a Person that is not (and is not required to become) a Loan
Party in a transaction not prohibited by Section 6.05, the Administrative Agent
and the Collateral Agent shall promptly (and the Lenders hereby authorize the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to) take such action and execute
any such documents as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower and at the
Borrower's expense to release any Liens created by any Loan Document in respect
of such Equity Interests, assets or property (provided that in no event shall
the Equity Interests of the Borrower be released under this Section 9.17),
including the release and satisfaction of record of any mortgage or deed of
trust granted in connection herewith, and, in the case of a disposition of all
or substantially all the Equity Interests of any Subsidiary Guarantor, terminate
such Subsidiary Guarantor's obligations under the Subsidiary Guarantee
Agreement. In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent agree
to take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Borrower and at the
Borrower's expense to terminate the Liens and security interests created by the
Loan Documents when all the Obligations are paid in full and all Letters of
Credit and Commitments are terminated. Any representation, warranty or covenant
contained in any Loan Document relating to any such Equity Interests, assets,
property or Subsidiary of Holdings (other than the Borrower) shall no longer be
deemed to be made once such Equity Interests, assets or property is so conveyed,
sold, leased, assigned, transferred or disposed of.

     (b) In the event that Holdings, the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries
creates any Lien on any property pursuant to Section 6.02(c), (d), (j) or (k)
and the agreements governing such Lien prohibit the Lien on such property
created by the Loan Documents (or require the subordination thereof), the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall promptly (and the Lenders
hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to) take such
action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by the
Borrower and act at the Borrower's expense to release (or subordinate, as the
case may be) any Liens created by the Loan Document on such property; provided
that the Borrower will use reasonable good faith efforts to have the respective
lien holder agree to the subordination of the Liens created by the Loan
Documents as opposed to a release thereof.

     SECTION 9.18. Co-Borrower's Obligations. The Co-Borrower is a party hereto
for purposes of providing co-extensive obligors for the Obligations (on a joint
and several basis), although the parties acknowledge that the Co-Borrower shall
not have any substantial assets or other property. All references in this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the "Borrower" shall be deemed to
include a reference to the Co-Borrower, mutatis mutandis, whether or not actual
reference is made thereto; provided, that, without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, any obligations by any of the parties hereto to the Borrower
shall be deemed fulfilled with respect to the Co-Borrower when fulfilled with
respect to the Borrower.

     SECTION 9.19. Limitations on Recourse. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, each Lender and each Agent agree that (a) in an action
to collect any amounts due under, or otherwise in respect of, this Agreement,
any Note or any other Loan Document, no future, current or former Holdings
Partner (except, if any such Holdings Partner is a Loan Party or is otherwise a
party to any Loan Documents, for such person's obligations as a Loan Party under
such Loan Documents) in its capacity as such will be personally liable for any
amounts due or any other liability under this Agreement, any Note or any other
Loan Document, and no deficiency or personal judgment will be sought against any
such Holdings Partner in its capacity as such for payment of the Indebtedness
evidenced by this Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document and (b) no
property or assets of any such future, current or former Holdings Partner
(except, if any such Holdings Partner is a Loan Party or is otherwise a party to
any Loan Documents, for such person's obligations under such Loan Documents) in
its capacity as such shall be sold, levied upon or otherwise used to satisfy any
judgment rendered in connection with any action brought with respect to this
Agreement or any Note; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section
9.19 shall (i) impair the validity of the Indebtedness evidenced by this
Agreement or the Notes, (ii) prevent the taking of any action permitted by law
against the Borrower or any other Loan Party or the assets of the Borrower or
any other Loan Party or the proceeds of such assets or (iii) in any way affect
or impair the right of any Agent or any Lender to take any action permitted by
law to realize upon any Mortgaged Property, the Collateral or any other security
which may secure any Loan Party's obligations.

     The "LIBOR Margin" and the "ABR Margin" for any date shall be determined by
reference to the "Category Period" in effect as of the last day of the fiscal
quarter most recently ended as of such date and any change shall become
effective upon the delivery to the Administrative Agent of the financial
statements to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.04 for the most recently ended
fiscal quarter together with a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the
Borrower (a) setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the Net
Leverage Ratio for the end of such fiscal quarter and (b) stating that such
Responsible Officer has reviewed the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and has made, or caused to be made under his or her supervision, a
review in reasonable detail of the transactions and condition of Holdings, the
Borrower and their Subsidiaries during the accounting period, and that such
Responsible Officer does not have knowledge of the existence as at the date of
such officers' certificate of any Event of Default or Default. It is understood
that the foregoing certificate of a Responsible Officer shall be permitted to be
delivered prior to, but in no event later than, the time of the actual delivery
of the financial statements required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.04.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the time (i) the Tranche II Term Loans have
been refinanced in full pursuant to the Tranche II Term Loan Refinancing or (ii)
Holdings shall have received gross cash proceeds of at least $200,000,000 from
the sale after the Closing Date of its Equity Interests pursuant to a public
offering of common stock, if a Responsible Officer of Holdings shall deliver to
the Administrative Agent a certificate demonstrating in reasonable detail that
the Borrower would qualify for a different Category Period (determined on a Pro
Forma Basis as of the last day of the last Test Period ended prior to the date
on which (i) the Tranche II Term Loans have been refinanced in full pursuant to
the Tranche II Term Loan Refinancing or (ii) Holdings shall have received gross
cash proceeds of at least $200,000,000 from the sale after the Closing Date of
its Equity Interests pursuant to a public offering of common stock, as the case
may be, for which financial statements have been made available (or were
required to be made available) pursuant to Section 5.04), then the Category
Period that would otherwise be applicable as set forth in such certificate shall
thereafter be applicable (until same is changed or ceases to apply in accordance
with the second preceding sentence). For the purposes of this Schedule A:


                                      129
<PAGE>


     "Category A Period" shall exist at any time no other Category Period is
then in effect.

     "Category B Period" shall exist at any time (i) the Tranche II Term Loans
have been refinanced in full pursuant to the Tranche II Term Loan Refinancing
and (ii) a Category E Period or Category F Period is not then in effect.

     "Category C Period" shall exist at any time (i) Holdings has received gross
cash proceeds of at least $200,000,000 from the sale after the Closing Date of
its Equity Interests pursuant to a public offering of common stock, (ii) any
Tranche II Term Loans remain outstanding and (iii) the Net Leverage Ratio is
greater than or equal to 4.50 to 1.00.

     "Category D Period" shall exist at any time (i) Holdings has received gross
cash proceeds of at least $200,000,000 from the sale after the Closing Date of
its Equity Interests pursuant to a public offering of common stock, (ii) any
Tranche II Term Loans remain outstanding and (iii) the Net Leverage Ratio is
less than 4.50 to 1.00.

     "Category E Period" shall exist at any time (i) Holdings has received gross
cash proceeds of at least $200,000,000 from the sale after the Closing Date of
its Equity Interests pursuant to a public offering of common stock, (ii) no
Tranche II Term Loans remain outstanding and (iii) the Net Leverage Ratio is
greater than or equal to 4.50 to 1.00.

     "Category F Period" shall exist at any time (i) Holdings has received gross
cash proceeds of at least $200,000,000 from the sale after the Closing Date of
its Equity Interests pursuant to a public offering of common stock, (ii) no
Tranche II Term Loans remain outstanding and (iii) the Net Leverage Ratio is
less than 4.50 to 1.00.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time during which (i) the Borrower has
failed to deliver the certificate required under Section 5.04(c) with respect to
a fiscal quarter following the date the delivery thereof is due or (ii) a
Default or Event of Default is in existence, the Category Period shall be
deemed, solely for the purposes of this Schedule A, to be a Category A Period,
until such time as the Borrower shall deliver such certificate or such Default
or Event of Default shall be cured or waived.
