                              W I T N E S S E T H:

              WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Lenders make a term
loan credit facility available to the Borrower in order to finance certain
Permitted Acquisitions and to make a revolving credit facility available to the
Borrower for the working capital needs and general corporate purposes of the
Borrower; and

              WHEREAS, the Lenders are willing to make such credit facilities
available upon and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

              NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the
agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

                             SECTION 1. DEFINITIONS

              1.1.   Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, the terms listed
in this Section 1.1 shall have the respective meanings set forth in this Section
1.1.

       set forth in this Section 1.1.

              "Acquisition": any acquisition, consisting of a single transaction
       or a series of related transactions, by the Borrower or any one or more
       of its Wholly Owned Subsidiaries of any Capital Stock of, or all or a
       substantial part of the assets of, or of a business unit or division of,
       any Person engaged in a Permitted Business that is organized under the
       laws of the United States or any state or territory thereof (such Person,

              "Adjusted EBITDA": for any period, the Consolidated EBITDA of the
       Borrower and its Subsidiaries for such period adjusted on a pro forma
       basis (i) to reflect the Consolidated EBITDA of each Adjustment-Eligible
       Business acquired in any Acquisition consummated in such period as though
       such Acquisition had been consummated on the first day of such period and
       (ii) to reflect the add-back of Cost Savings, to the extent the


<PAGE>   8

       charges reflecting costs to be eliminated in such Cost Savings.

              "Adjustment-Eligible Business": in respect of any period, any
       Acquired Business (i) that either (A) is engaged in the Spanish-language
       broadcast radio business in the United States or Puerto Rico, to the
       extent it is engaged in such business, or (B) is the Acquired Business
       that is the subject of the Pipeline Acquisition, and (ii) in respect of
       which the consolidated balance sheet of such Acquired Business as at the
       end of the period preceding the Acquisition of such Acquired Business and
       the related consolidated statements of income and stockholders' equity
       and of cash flows for the period in respect of which Adjusted EBITDA is
       to be calculated (x) have been previously provided to the Administrative
       Agent and the Lenders and (y) either (1) have been reported on without a

       Person, whether by contract or otherwise.

       principal amount of such Lender's Term Loans then outstanding and (b)
       thereafter, the sum of (i) the principal amount of such Lender's Term
       Loans then outstanding and (ii) the amount of such Lender's Revolving
       Credit Commitment then in effect or, if the Revolving Credit Commitments
       have terminated, the principal amount of such Lender's Revolving
       Extensions of Credit then outstanding.

              "Aggregate Exposure Percentage" with respect to any Lender at any
       time, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of such Lender's Aggregate
       Exposure at such time to the Aggregate Exposure of all Lenders at such

Credit Loan") to the Borrower in one or more fundings during the Revolving
Credit Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount at any one time
outstanding which, when added to such Lender's Revolving Credit Percentage of
the sum of (i) the L/C Obligations then outstanding and (ii) the aggregate
principal amount of the Swing Line Loans then outstanding, does not exceed the
amount of such Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment. During the Revolving Credit
Commitment Period the Borrower may use the Revolving Credit Commitments by
borrowing, prepaying the Revolving Credit Loans in whole or in part, and
reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. The
Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Credit Termination
Date. The Revolving Credit Loans may from time to time be Eurodollar Loans or
Base Rate Loans, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the
Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.5 and 2.13, provided that no
Revolving


                                       32


<PAGE>   39


Credit Loan shall be made as a Eurodollar Loan after the day that is one month
prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

              (b)    The Borrower shall repay all outstanding Revolving Credit
Loans on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

              2.5. Procedure for Revolving Credit Borrowing. The Borrower may
borrow under the Revolving Credit Commitments during the Revolving Credit
Commitment Period on any Business Day, provided that the Borrower shall give the
Administrative Agent irrevocable notice in a Notice of Borrowing (which Notice
of Borrowing must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon,
New York City time, (a) three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing
Date, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, or (b) one Business Day prior to the
requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Base Rate Loans), specifying (i) the
amount and Type of Revolving Credit Loans to be borrowed, (ii) the requested
Borrowing Date and (iii) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the length of the
initial Interest Period therefor. Any Revolving Credit Loans made on the Closing
Date shall initially be Base Rate Loans, and no Revolving Credit Loan may be
made as, converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Loan having an Interest
Period in excess of one month prior to the date which is 60 days after the
Closing Date. Each borrowing under the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in
an amount equal to (x) in the case of Base Rate Loans, $1,000,000 or a whole
multiple thereof (or, if the then aggregate Available Revolving Credit
Commitments are less than $1,000,000, such lesser amount) and (y) in the case of
Eurodollar Loans, $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof; provided, that the Swing Line Lender may request, on behalf of the
Borrower, borrowings under the Revolving Credit Commitments which are Base Rate
Loans in other amounts pursuant to Section 2.7. Upon receipt of any such Notice
of Borrowing from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify
each Revolving Credit Lender thereof. Each Revolving Credit Lender will make the
amount of its pro rata share of each borrowing available to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Borrower at the Funding Office prior to 12:00 Noon,
New York City time, on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in funds
immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Such borrowing will then be
made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent in like funds as
received by the Administrative Agent.

              2.6. Swing Line Commitment.

              (a)    Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line
Lender agrees to make a portion of the credit otherwise available to the
Borrower under the Revolving Credit Commitments from time to time during the
Revolving Credit Commitment Period by making swing line loans ("Swing Line
Loans") to the Borrower; provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of
Swing Line Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Swing Line
Commitment then in effect (notwithstanding that the Swing Line Loans outstanding
at any time, when aggregated with the Swing Line Lender's other outstanding
Revolving Credit Loans hereunder, may exceed the Swing Line Commitment then in
effect) and (ii) the Borrower shall not request, and the Swing Line Lender shall
not make, any Swing Line Loan if, after giving effect to the making of such
Swing Line Loan, the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving


                                       33


<PAGE>   40


Credit Commitments would be less than zero. During the Revolving Credit
Commitment Period, the Borrower may use the Swing Line Commitment by borrowing,
repaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions
hereof. Swing Line Loans shall be Base Rate Loans only.

              (b)    The Borrower shall repay all outstanding Swing Line Loans
on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

              2.7. Procedure for Swing Line Borrowing; Refunding of Swing Line
Loans.

              (a)    Whenever the Borrower desires that the Swing Line Lender
make Swing Line Loans it shall give the Swing Line Lender irrevocable telephonic
notice confirmed promptly in writing (which telephonic notice must be received
by the Swing Line Lender not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the
proposed Borrowing Date), specifying (i) the amount to be borrowed and (ii) the
requested Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day during the Revolving
Credit Commitment Period). Each borrowing under the Swing Line Commitment shall
be in an amount equal to $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess
thereof. Not later than 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date
specified in a notice in respect of Swing Line Loans, the Swing Line Lender
shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office an amount
in immediately available funds equal to the amount of the Swing Line Loan to be
made by the Swing Line Lender. The Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds
of such Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower on such Borrowing Date in
immediately available funds.

              (b)    The Swing Line Lender, at any time and from time to time in
its sole and absolute discretion may, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby
irrevocably directs the Swing Line Lender to act on its behalf), on one Business
Day's notice given by the Swing Line Lender no later than 12:00 Noon, New York
City time, request each Revolving Credit Lender to make, and each Revolving
Credit Lender hereby agrees to make, a Revolving Credit Loan, in an amount equal
to such Revolving Credit Lender's Revolving Credit Percentage of the aggregate
amount of the Swing Line Loans (the "Refunded Swing Line Loans") outstanding on
the date of such notice, to repay the Swing Line Lender. Each Revolving Credit
Lender shall make the amount of such Revolving Credit Loan available to the
Administrative Agent at the Funding Office in immediately available funds, not
later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, one Business Day after the date of
such notice. The proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans shall be immediately
made available by the Administrative Agent to the Swing Line Lender for
application by the Swing Line Lender to the repayment of the Refunded Swing Line
Loans. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to charge the
Borrower's accounts with the Administrative Agent (up to the amount available in
each such account) in order to immediately pay the amount of such Refunded Swing
Line Loans to the extent amounts received from the Revolving Credit Lenders are
not sufficient to repay in full such Refunded Swing Line Loans.

              (c)    If prior to the time a Revolving Credit Loan would have
otherwise been made pursuant to Section 2.7(b), one of the events described in
Section 8(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrower
or if for any other reason, as determined by the


                                       34


<PAGE>   41


Swing Line Lender in its sole discretion, Revolving Credit Loans may not be made
as contemplated by Section 2.7(b), each Revolving Credit Lender shall, on the
first Business Day following demand by the Swing Line Lender therefor (the
"Refunding Date"), purchase for cash an undivided participating interest in the
then outstanding Swing Line Loans by paying to the Swing Line Lender an amount
(the "Swing Line Participation Amount") equal to (i) such Revolving Credit
Lender's Revolving Credit Percentage times (ii) the sum of the aggregate
principal amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding.

              (d)    Whenever, at any time after the Swing Line Lender has
received from any Revolving Credit Lender such Lender's Swing Line Participation
Amount, the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of the Swing Line
Loans, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender its
Swing Line Participation Amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest
payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Credit
Lender's participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of
principal and interest payments, to reflect such Revolving Credit Lender's pro
rata portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the
principal of and interest on all Swing Line Loans then due); provided, however,
that in the event that such payment received by the Swing Line Lender is
required to be returned, such Revolving Credit Lender will return to the Swing
Line Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swing Line
Lender.

              (e)    Each Revolving Credit Lender's obligation to make the Loans
referred to in Section 2.7(b) and to purchase participating interests pursuant
to Section 2.7(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected
by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense
or other right which such Revolving Credit Lender or the Borrower may have
against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason
whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuation of any Default or the failure to
satisfy any of the other conditions precedent specified in Section 5; (iii) any
adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower; (iv)
any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower, any
other Loan Party or any other Revolving Credit Lender; or (v) any other
circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of
the foregoing.

              2.8. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Indebtedness.

              (a)    The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the appropriate Lender (i) the then
unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan on the Revolving Credit
Termination Date (or such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable
pursuant to Section 8), (ii) the then unpaid principal amount of each Swing Line
Loan on the Revolving Credit Termination Date (or such earlier date on which the
Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 8) and (iii) the principal
amount of each Term Loan in installments according to the amortization schedule
set forth in Section 2.3 (or on such earlier date on which the Loans become due
and payable pursuant to Section 8). The Borrower hereby further agrees to pay
interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loans from time to time
outstanding from the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per
annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 2.15.


                                       35


<PAGE>   42


              (b)    Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual
practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of the Borrower to such
Lender resulting from each Loan of 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.

              (c)    The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, shall
maintain the Register pursuant to Section 10.6(e), and a subaccount therein for
each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made
hereunder and any Note evidencing such Loan, the Type thereof and each 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) both 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 Register and the accounts of each
Lender maintained pursuant to Section 2.8(b) shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the
obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the
failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or
any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the
obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to
the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

              (e)    The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the
Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Borrower will execute and deliver to
such Lender a promissory note of the Borrower evidencing any Term Loans,
Revolving Credit Loans or Swing Line Loans, as the case may be, of such Lender,
substantially in the forms of Exhibits F-1, F-2 or F-3, respectively, with
appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount (such notes,
respectively, "Term Notes", "Revolving Credit Notes" and "Swing Line Notes").

              2.9. Commitment Fees, etc.

              (a)    The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (i)
for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender, a commitment fee for the period
from and including the Closing Date to the last day of the Revolving Credit
Commitment Period, computed at the Commitment Fee Rate determined from day to
day on the average daily amount of the Available Revolving Credit Commitment of
such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in
arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December and on the
Revolving Credit Termination Date, commencing on the first of such dates to
occur after the date hereof and (ii) for the account of each Term Lender a
commitment fee for the period from and including the Closing Date to the last
day of the Term Loan Commitment Period, computed at the Commitment Fee Rate
determined from day to day on the average daily amount of the Term Loan
Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable
quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December
and on the last day of the Term Loan Commitment Period, commencing on the first
of such dates to occur after the date hereof.


                                       36


<PAGE>   43


              (b)    The Borrower agrees to pay to the Arranger and the
Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates from time to time
agreed to in writing by the Borrower including pursuant to the Fee Letter.

              2.10. Termination or Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments.
The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days'
notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Revolving Credit
Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Revolving Credit
Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Credit
Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any
prepayments of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans made on the
effective date thereof, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed
the Total Revolving Credit Commitments. Any such reduction shall be in an amount
equal to $1,000,000, or a whole multiple thereof, and shall reduce permanently
the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect.

              2.11. Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may at any time and from
time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty,
upon irrevocable notice delivered to the Administrative Agent at least three
Business Days prior thereto in the case of Eurodollar Loans and at least one
Business Day prior thereto in the case of Base Rate Loans, which notice shall
(i) designate whether the Borrower is prepaying Revolving Credit Loans, Term
Loans or both and (ii) specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the
prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans or Base Rate Loans; provided, that if a
Eurodollar Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest
Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing
pursuant to Section 2.21. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is
given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date
specified therein, together with (except in the case of Revolving Credit Loans
(unless all Revolving Credit Loans are being repaid and the Revolving Credit
Commitments terminated) that are Base Rate Loans and Swing Line Loans) accrued
interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Term Loans
and Revolving Credit Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of
$1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof. Partial prepayments of Swing Line Loans
shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple
thereof.

              2.12. Mandatory Prepayments and Commitment Reductions.

              (a)    Unless the Required Prepayment Lenders shall otherwise
agree:

                     (i)    if the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries incurs
       any Indebtedness (except any incurrence of Indebtedness permitted under
       Section 7.2 as in effect on the date of this Agreement) or if any
       Subsidiary issues any Capital Stock (except any issuance of Capital Stock
       by JuJu Media, Inc., any issuance of Management Equity and any issuance
       of Capital Stock to the Borrower or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the
       Borrower) an amount equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds of such
       incurrence or issuance shall be applied within one Business Day of such
       issuance or incurrence toward the prepayment of the Term Loans and the
       reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments as set forth in Section
       2.12(c); and


                                       37


<PAGE>   44


                     (ii)   if the Borrower issues any Capital Stock not
       constituting Indebtedness and if on the date of such issuance the
       Consolidated Senior Debt Ratio (computed on a pro forma basis as if
       Revolving Extensions of Credit were then outstanding in an amount equal
       to the then Total Revolving Credit Commitments) is greater than 2.5:1, an
       amount equal to 50% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such issuance shall be
       applied within one Business Day of such issuance toward the prepayment of
       the Term Loans and the reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments as
       set forth in Section 2.12(c).

              (b)    Unless the Required Prepayment Lenders shall otherwise
agree, if on any date the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall receive Net
Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event then, unless a Reinvestment
Notice shall be delivered in respect thereof, such Net Cash Proceeds shall be
applied on such date toward the prepayment of the Term Loans and the reduction
of the Revolving Credit Commitments as set forth in Section 2.12(c); provided,
that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds of
Asset Sales that may be excluded from the foregoing requirement pursuant to a
Reinvestment Notice shall not, when added to all amounts previously excluded
pursuant to a Reinvestment Notice and not yet reinvested in assets useful in the
Borrower's business, exceed $5,000,000 and (ii) on each Reinvestment Prepayment
Date, an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the
relevant Reinvestment Event shall be applied toward the prepayment of the Term
Loans and the reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments as set forth in
Section 2.12(c).

              (c)    Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments and
Commitment reductions made pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be applied,
first, to the prepayment of the Term Loans, second, to reduce permanently any
portion of the Term Loan Commitments that then remain unfunded, third, to reduce
permanently the Revolving Credit Commitments and, fourth, to the Borrower or
such other Person as shall be lawfully entitled thereto. Any such reduction of
the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be accompanied by prepayment of the
Revolving Credit Loans and/or Swing Line Loans to the extent, if any, that the
Total Revolving Extensions of Credit exceed the amount of the Total Revolving
Credit Commitments as so reduced, provided that if the aggregate principal
amount of Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans then outstanding is less
than the amount of the Total Revolving Credit Commitments as so reduced (because
L/C Obligations constitute a portion thereof), the Borrower shall, to the extent
of the balance of such excess, replace outstanding Letters of Credit and/or
deposit an amount in immediately available funds in a cash collateral account
established with the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties
on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (and the
Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of
the Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in all amounts at any time
on deposit in such cash collateral account to secure all L/C Obligations from
time to time outstanding and all other Obligations). If at any time the
Administrative Agent determines that any funds held in such cash collateral
account are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the
Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties or that the total amount of such
funds is less than the amount of such excess, the Borrower shall, forthwith upon
demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as
additional funds to be deposited and held in such cash collateral account, an
amount equal to the excess of (a) the amount of such


                                       38


<PAGE>   45


excess over (b) the total amount of funds, if any, then held in such cash
collateral account that the Administrative Agent determines to be free and clear
of any such right and claim. The application of any prepayment pursuant to
Section 2.11 and this Section 2.12 shall be made, first, to Base Rate Loans and,
second, to Eurodollar Loans. Each prepayment of the Loans under Section 2.11 and
this Section 2.12 (except in the case of Revolving Credit Loans (unless the
Revolving Credit Loans are being repaid in full and the Revolving Credit
Commitments terminated) that are Base Rate Loans and Swing Line Loans) shall be
accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount
prepaid.

              2.13. Conversion and Continuation Options.

              (a)    The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert
Eurodollar Loans to Base Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least
two Business Days' prior irrevocable notice of such election, provided that any
such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may only be made on the last day of an
Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time
to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative
Agent at least three Business Days' prior irrevocable notice of such election
(which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor),
provided that no Base Rate Loan under a particular Facility may be converted
into a Eurodollar Loan (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing if the Administrative Agent or the Majority Facility Lenders in
respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to
permit such conversions or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the
final scheduled termination or maturity date of such Facility. Upon receipt of
any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant
Lender thereof.

              (b)    Any Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such upon the
expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the
Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance
with the applicable provisions of the term "Interest Period" set forth in
Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such
Loans, provided that no Eurodollar Loan under a particular Facility may be
continued as such (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
if the Administrative Agent or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such
Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such
continuations or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the final
scheduled termination or maturity date of such Facility, and provided, further,
that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above
in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the
preceding proviso such Loans shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans
on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such
notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender
thereof.

              2.14. Minimum Amounts and Maximum Number of Eurodollar Tranches.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings,
conversions, continuations and optional prepayments of Eurodollar Loans
hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such
amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect
thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising each
Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of


                                       39


<PAGE>   46


$1,000,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than six Eurodollar Tranches shall
be outstanding at any one time.

              2.15. Interest Rates and Payment Dates.

              (a)    Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day
during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to
the Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin.

              (b)    Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum
equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

              (c)    (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan
or Reimbursement Obligation shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), all outstanding Loans and Reimbursement
Obligations (whether or not overdue) shall bear interest at a rate per annum
that is equal to (x) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be
applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus
2.0% per annum or (y) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, the rate
applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility plus 2.0% per
annum, and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or
Reimbursement Obligation or any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder
shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to
the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans under the relevant Facility plus
2.0% per annum (or, in the case of any such other amounts that do not relate to
a particular Facility, the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans under the
Revolving Credit Facility plus 2.0% per annum), in each case, with respect to
clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount
is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).

              (d)    Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest
Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this
Section shall be payable from time to time on demand.

              2.16. Computation of Interest and Fees.

              (a)    Interest, fees and commissions payable pursuant hereto
shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed,
except that, with respect to Base Rate Loans the rate of interest on which is
calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate, the interest thereon shall be
calculated on the basis of a 365-day (or 366-day, as the case may be) year for
the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable
notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a
Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a
change in the Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become
effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes
effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the
Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each
such change in interest rate.


                                       40


<PAGE>   47


              (b)    Each determination of an interest rate by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be
conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of
manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower
or a Lender, deliver to the Borrower or such Lender a statement showing the
quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate
pursuant to Section 2.15(a).

              2.17. Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first
day of any Interest Period:

              (a)    the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which
       determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by
       reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and
       reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for
       such Interest Period, or

              (b)    the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from
       the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the relevant Facility that
       the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest
       Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders
       (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining
       their affected Loans during such Interest Period,

the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the
Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such
notice is given (x) any Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility requested
to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Base Rate
Loans, (y) any Loans under the relevant Facility that were to have been
converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be
continued as Base Rate Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans under the
relevant Facility shall be converted, on the last day of the then current
Interest Period with respect thereto, to Base Rate Loans. If adequate and
reasonable means do exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for a future
Interest Period and the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such
Interest Period will adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as
conclusively determined by such Lenders) then such Lenders shall promptly direct
the Administrative Agent to withdraw such notice. Until such notice has been
withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans under the
relevant Facility shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower
have the right to convert Loans under the relevant Facility to Eurodollar Loans.

              2.18. Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.

              (a)    Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder,
each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee and any reduction
of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the
respective Term Loan Percentages or Revolving Credit Percentages, as the case
may be, of the relevant Lenders. Subject to Section 2.18(c), each payment (other
than prepayments) in respect of principal or interest in respect of the Loans,
and each payment in respect of fees or expenses payable hereunder shall be
applied to the amounts of such obligations owing to the Lenders pro rata


                                       41


<PAGE>   48


according to the respective amounts then due and owing to the Lenders. The
application of any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.18 shall be made,
first, to Base Rate Loans and, second, to Eurodollar Loans.

              (b)    Each prepayment to be applied to Term Loans shall be
allocated among the Term Loan Lenders holding such Term Loans pro rata based on
the principal amount of the Term Loans held by each Term Loan Lender and shall
be applied to the scheduled quarterly installments due on the Term Loans
pursuant to Section 2.3 pro rata based on the remaining outstanding principal
amount of such installments.

              (c)    Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on
account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Credit Loans shall be made
pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the
Revolving Credit Loans then held by the Revolving Credit Lenders.

              (d)    All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the
Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or
otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior
to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative
Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Payment Office, in Dollars and in
immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such
payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any
payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and
payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to
the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes
due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall
be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such
extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which
event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In
the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding
two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate
during such extension.

              (e)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in
writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the
amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the
Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is
making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative
Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a
corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative
Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay
to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a
rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate for the period
until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative
Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with
respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the
absence of manifest error. If such Lender's share of such borrowing is not made
available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days
of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to
recover such amount with interest thereon at the


                                       42


<PAGE>   49


rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the relevant Facility, on
demand, from the Borrower.

              (f)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in
writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment being made hereunder
that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the
Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and
the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon
such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares
of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative
Agent by the Borrower within three Business Days of such required date, the
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender
to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence,
such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily
average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit
the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.

              2.19. Requirements of Law.

              (a)    If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law
or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with
any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any
central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

                     (i)    shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind
       whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any
       Application or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of
       taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for
       Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section 2.20 and changes in the rate of tax
       on, or the imposition of a tax on, the overall net income of such
       Lender);

                     (ii)   shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve,
       special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets
       held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of,
       advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other
       acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise
       included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate hereunder; or

                     (iii)  shall impose on such Lender any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender,
by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into,
continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans or issuing or participating in
Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect
thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender,
upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender on
an after-tax basis for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any
Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this
Section, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.


                                       43


<PAGE>   50


              (b)    If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or
any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the
interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any
corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding
capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental
Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing
the rate of return on such Lender's or such corporation's capital as a
consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of
Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have
achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration
such Lender's or such corporation's policies with respect to capital adequacy)
by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after
submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender on an after-tax
basis for such reduction.

              (c)    A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant
to this Section submitted by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The
obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts
payable hereunder.

              2.20. Taxes.

              (a)    All payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement or
any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction
or withholding for or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies,
imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter
imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority,
excluding net income taxes, branch profits taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in
lieu of net income taxes) imposed on the Arranger, any Agent or any Lender as a
result of a present or former connection between the Arranger, such Agent or
such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax
or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than
any such connection arising solely from the Arranger's, such Agent's or such
Lender's having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a
payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document). Subject
to the provisions of Section 2.20(f), if any such non-excluded taxes, levies,
imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings ("Non-Excluded
Taxes") are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Arranger,
any Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to the Arranger, such
Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the
Arranger, such Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes)
interest or any such other amounts that would have been received hereunder had
such withholding not been required. The Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary
Guarantor shall make any required withholding and pay the full amount withheld
to the relevant tax authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable Requirements of Law.

              (b)    The Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law.


                                       44




<PAGE>   51

              (c)    Subject to Section 2.20(f), the Borrower shall indemnify
the Arranger, each Agent and each Lender for the full amount of Non-Excluded
Taxes or Other Taxes arising in connection with payments made under this
Agreement (including any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any
jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.20) paid by the Arranger,
such Agent or Lender or any of their respective Affiliates and any liability
(including penalties, additions to tax interest and expenses) arising therefrom
or with respect thereto. Payment under this indemnification shall be made within
ten days from the date the Arranger, any Agent or any Lender or any of their
respective Affiliates makes written demand therefor.

              (d)    Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable
by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to
the Administrative Agent for the account of the Arranger or the relevant Agent
or Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt
received by the Borrower showing payment thereof.

              (e)    The agreements in this Section 2.20 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts
payable hereunder.

              (f)    Each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a citizen or
resident of the United States of America, or a corporation, partnership or other
entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States of America
(or any jurisdiction thereof) (a "Non-U.S. Lender") shall deliver to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of a Participant, to the
Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) (i) two
copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 or Form 4224 (or any
successor forms), or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from
U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with
respect to payments of "portfolio interest," a statement substantially in the
form of Exhibit G to the effect that such Lender is eligible for a complete
exemption from withholding of U.S. taxes under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the
Code and a Form W-8, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto,
and (ii) any other form or certificate required by a taxing authority (including
a certificate required under the Code) that is requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent in writing, properly completed and duly executed by such
Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax on
all payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it
becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or
before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). In
addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the
obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S.
Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it
determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously
delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification
adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any
other provision of this paragraph, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to
deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Non-U.S. Lender is not
legally able to deliver. For any period with respect to which a Lender (or
Transferee) has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate forms
described in this Section 2.20(f) (other than if such failure is due to a change
in law occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required
to be provided), such


                                       45
<PAGE>   52

Lender (or Transferee) shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section
2.20 with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes that would have been avoided but for
such failure.

              (g)    If and to the extent that any Lender is able, in its sole
opinion, to obtain a tax refund or to apply or otherwise take advantage of any
offsetting tax credit or other similar tax benefit arising out of or in
conjunction with any deduction or withholding which gives rise to an obligation
on the Borrower to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes pursuant to Section
2.20 then such Lender shall, to the extent that in its sole opinion it can do so
without prejudice to the retention of such tax refund or the amount of such
credit or benefit and without any other adverse tax consequences for such
Lender, reimburse to the Borrower at such time as such tax refund or such tax
credit or benefit shall have actually been received by such Lender such amount
as such Lender shall, in its sole opinion, have determined to be attributable to
such tax refund or the relevant deduction or withholding and as will leave such
Lender in no better or worse position than it would have been in if the payment
of such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes had not been required. Nothing in this
Section 2.20(g) shall oblige any Lender to disclose to the Borrower or any other
person any information regarding its tax affairs or tax computations or
interfere with the right of any Lender to arrange its tax affairs in whatever
manner it thinks fit and, in particular, no Lender shall be under any obligation
to claim relief from its corporate profits or similar tax liability in credits
or deductions available to it and, if it does claim, the extent, order and
manner in which it does so shall be at its absolute discretion.

              2.21.  Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and
to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense that such Lender may
sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a
borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the
Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any
prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment or conversion of
Eurodollar Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with
respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess,
if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so
prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the
date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the
last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow,
convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date
of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans
provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein,
if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such
Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such
amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank
eurodollar market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this
Section submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the
absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the payment of the Loans and Letters of Credit and all other
amounts payable hereunder.

              2.22.  Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if
the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation
or application thereof shall make


                                       46
<PAGE>   53

it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated
by this Agreement, (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make
Eurodollar Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans as such and convert Base Rate Loans
to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be canceled and (b) such Lender's Loans then
outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to
Base Rate Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods
with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If
any such conversion of a Eurodollar Loan occurs on a day which is not the last
day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall
pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section
2.21.

              2.23.  Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the
occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.19, 2.20(a) or
2.22 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use
reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to
designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the
object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such
designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause
such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory
disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect
or postpone any of the obligations of any Borrower or the rights of any Lender
pursuant to Section 2.19, 2.20(a) or 2.22.

              2.24.  Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances. The
Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (a) requests
reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20(a) or (b)
defaults in its obligation to make Loans hereunder, with a replacement financial
institution; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any
Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior to any such replacement,
such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.23 so as to eliminate the
continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20(a),
(iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and
other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of
replacement, (v) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under
Section 2.21 (as though Section 2.21 were applicable) if any Eurodollar Loan
owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of
the Interest Period relating thereto, (vi) the replacement financial
institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent, (vii) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such
replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 (provided that the
Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred
to therein), (viii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated,
the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to
Section 2.19 or 2.20(a), as the case may be, and (ix) any such replacement shall
not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

                          SECTION 3. LETTERS OF CREDIT

              3.1.  L/C Commitment.

              (a)    Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing
Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving Credit Lenders set
forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue standby letters of credit ("Letters of
Credit") for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day during the
Revolving Credit Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to
time by the Issuing Lender; provided that the Issuing Lender shall not issue any
Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C
Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment or (ii) the aggregate amount of the
Available Revolving Credit Commitments would be less than zero. Each Letter of
Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars and (ii) expire no later than the
earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the date
which is five Business Days prior to the Scheduled Revolving Credit Termination
Date, provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for
the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event
extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above).

              (b)    The Issuing Lender shall not at any time be obligated to
issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or
cause the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by,
any applicable Requirement of Law.

              3.2.  Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit. The Borrower may
from time to time request that the Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by
delivering to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein an
Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of the Issuing Lender, and
such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the
Issuing Lender may request. Upon receipt of any Application, the Issuing Lender
will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers
and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its
customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested
thereby (but in no event shall the Issuing Lender be required to issue any
Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the
Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers
and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of
Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by the
Issuing Lender and the Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such
Letter of Credit to the Borrower promptly following the issuance thereof. The
Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall
in turn promptly furnish to the Lenders, notice of the issuance of each Letter
of Credit (including the amount thereof).

              3.3.  Fees and Other Charges.

              (a)    The Borrower will pay a fee on the aggregate drawable
amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit at a per annum rate equal to the
Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Eurodollar Loans under the
Revolving Credit Facility, shared ratably among the Revolving Credit Lenders and
payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after


                                       48
<PAGE>   55

the issuance date of such Letter of Credit. In addition, the Borrower shall pay
to the Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee as agreed between the
Issuing Lender and the Borrower.

              (b)    In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower shall pay
or reimburse the Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses
as are incurred or charged by the Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating,
effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of
Credit.

              3.4.  L/C Participations.

              (a)    The Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby
grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce the Issuing Lender to issue
Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept
and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Lender, on the
terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant's own account
and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant's Revolving Credit
Percentage in the Issuing Lender's obligations and rights under each Letter of
Credit issued hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by the Issuing Lender
thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with the
Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the
Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender,
regardless of the occurrence or continuance of a Default or the failure to
satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5, on the first
Business Day after demand, at the Issuing Lender's address for notices specified
herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant's Revolving Credit Percentage of
the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed.

              (b)    If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to
the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed
portion of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is
paid to the Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such
payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender on demand
an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average
Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such
payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available
to the Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the
number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is
360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to
Section 3.4(a) is not made available to the Issuing Lender by such L/C
Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the
Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on
demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the
rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit
Facility. A certificate of the Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant
with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the
absence of manifest error.

              (c)    Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Lender has made
payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its
pro rata share of such payment


                                       49
<PAGE>   56

in accordance with Section 3.4(a), the Issuing Lender receives any payment
related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or
otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by the Issuing
Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Issuing Lender will
distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided,
however, that in the event that any such payment received by the Issuing Lender
shall be required to be returned by the Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant
shall return to the Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by
the Issuing Lender to it.

              3.5.  Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. The Borrower
agrees to reimburse the Issuing Lender on each date on which the Issuing Lender
notifies the Borrower of the date and amount of a draft presented under any
Letter of Credit and paid by the Issuing Lender for the amount of (a) such draft
so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by
the Issuing Lender in connection with such payment (the amounts described in the
foregoing clauses (a) and (b) in respect of any drawing, collectively, the
"Payment Amount"). Each such payment shall be made to the Issuing Lender at its
address for notices specified herein in lawful money of the United States of
America and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on each
Payment Amount from the date of the applicable drawing until payment in full at
the rate set forth in (i) until the second Business Day following the date of
the applicable drawing, Section 2.15(b) and (ii) thereafter, Section 2.15(c).
Each drawing under any Letter of Credit shall (unless an event of the type
described in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 8(f) shall have occurred and be
continuing with respect to the Borrower, in which case the procedures specified
in Section 3.4 for funding by L/C Participants shall apply) constitute a request
by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for a borrowing pursuant to Section
2.5 of Base Rate Loans (or, at the option of the Administrative Agent and the
Swing Line Lender in their sole discretion, a borrowing pursuant to Section 2.7
of Swing Line Loans) in the amount of such drawing. The Borrowing Date with
respect to such borrowing shall be the first date on which a borrowing of
Revolving Credit Loans (or, if applicable, Swing Line Loans) could be made,
pursuant to Section 2.5 (or, if applicable, Section 2.7), if the Administrative
Agent had received a notice of such borrowing at the time of such drawing under
such Letter of Credit.

              3.6.  Obligations Absolute. The Borrower's obligations under this
Section 3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances
and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the
Borrower may have or have had against the Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a
Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees with the Issuing
Lender that the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower's
Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among
other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements
thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid,
fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any
beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of
Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any
beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The Issuing Lender
shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in
transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however
transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit. The Borrower agrees that
any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with
any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in accordance
with the standards or care


                                       50
<PAGE>   57

specified in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, shall be
binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of the Issuing
Lender to the Borrower.

              3.7.  Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented
for payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify
the Borrower of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the Issuing
Lender to the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under
any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly
provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the
documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in
connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such
Letter of Credit.

              3.8.  Applications. To the extent that any provision of any
Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions
of this Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply.

                   SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

              To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into
this Agreement and to induce the Lenders to make the Loans and issue or
participate in the Letters of Credit, the Borrower hereby represents and
warrants to the Agents and Lenders that:

              4.1.  Financial Condition.

              (a)    The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of the
Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at March 26, 2000 (including the
notes thereto) (the "Pro Forma Balance Sheet"), copies of which have heretofore
been furnished to each Lender, has been prepared giving effect (as if such
events had occurred on such date) to (i) the consummation of the Rodriguez
Acquisitions and (ii) the payment of fees and expenses in connection with the
foregoing. The Pro Forma Balance Sheet has been prepared based on the best
information available to the Borrower as of the date of delivery thereof, and
presents fairly on a pro forma basis the estimated financial position of
Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at March 26, 2000, assuming that
the events specified in the preceding sentence had actually occurred at such
date.

              (b)    The audited consolidated balance sheets of the Borrower and
its Subsidiaries as at September 26, 1999, September 27, 1998 and September 28,
1997, and the related consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for
the fiscal years ended on such dates, reported on by and accompanied by an
unqualified report from KPMG LLP, present fairly the consolidated financial
condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at such date, and the
consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the
respective fiscal years then ended. The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at March 26, 2000, and the related
unaudited consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three-month
period ended on such date, present fairly the consolidated financial condition
of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at such date, and the consolidated
results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the three-month
period then ended (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments). All such
financial statements, including the related


                                       51
<PAGE>   58

schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied
consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the
aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein). Other than the
Rodriquez Bridge Loan Agreement and Rodriguez Purchase Agreement, the Borrower
and its Subsidiaries do not have any material Guarantee Obligations, contingent
liabilities and liabilities for taxes, or any long-term leases or unusual
forward or long-term commitments, including any interest rate or foreign
currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of
derivatives, that are not reflected in the most recent financial statements
referred to in this paragraph. During the period from September 26, 1999 to and
including the Closing Date there has been no Disposition by any of the Borrower
or its Subsidiaries of any material part of its business or Property.

              4.2.  No Change. Since September 26, 1999, there has been no
development or event that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

              4.3.  Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law. Each of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has
the corporate power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its
Property, to lease the Property it operates as lessee and to conduct the
business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign
corporation and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its
ownership, lease or operation of Property or the conduct of its business
requires such qualification and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of
Law except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith could not, in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

              4.4.  Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations.
Each Loan Party has the corporate power and authority, and the legal right, to
make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents and Acquisition Documentation to
which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to borrow hereunder. Each
Loan Party has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution,
delivery and performance of the Loan Documents and Acquisition Documentation to
which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to authorize the
borrowings on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No consent or
authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any
Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with any
Permitted Acquisition and the borrowings hereunder or with the execution,
delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any of the
Loan Documents or any Acquisition Documentation, except (i) consents,
authorizations, filings and notices that have been obtained or made (or, in the
case of any Permitted Acquisition, will be obtained or made prior to
consummation of such Permitted Acquisition) and are in full force and effect and
(ii) the filings referred to in Section 4.19. The Loan Documents, the Senior
Subordinated Note Indenture and all Acquisition Documentation has been duly
executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party party thereto. This
Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document, the Senior Subordinated
Note Indenture and all Acquisition Documentation upon execution will constitute,
a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party party thereto,
enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as
enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium


                                       52
<PAGE>   59

or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by
general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in
equity or at law).

              4.5.  No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of
this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Acquisition Documentation, the
issuance of Letters of Credit, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the
proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law or any Contractual
Obligation of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and will not result in, or
require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective
properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such
Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the Security Documents).
No Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation applicable to the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

              4.6.  No Material Litigation. No litigation, investigation or
proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or,
to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened by or against the Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries or against any of their respective properties or revenues
(a) with respect to any of the Loan Documents or the Acquisition Documentation
or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) that could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

              4.7.  No Default. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries
is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any
respect that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No
Default has occurred and is continuing.

              4.8.  Ownership of Property; Liens. Each of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries has good, marketable and insurable title in fee simple to, or a
valid leasehold interest in, all its material real property, and good title to,
or a valid leasehold interest in or adequate rights to use, all its other
material Property, and none of such material Property is subject to any Lien
except as permitted by Section 7.3.

              4.9.  Intellectual Property. The Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all Intellectual Property necessary
for the conduct of its business as currently conducted. No material claim has
been asserted or is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of
any Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any Intellectual
Property, nor does the Borrower know of any valid basis for any such claim. To
the best knowledge of the Borrower, the use of Intellectual Property by the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries does not infringe on the rights of any Person in
any material respect.

              4.10. Taxes. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has filed
or caused to be filed all material Federal, state and other material tax returns
that are required to be filed and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable
on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its Property and
all other material taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its
Property by any Governmental Authority (other than any the amount or validity of
which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and
with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the
books of the Borrower or its


                                       53
<PAGE>   60

Subsidiaries, as the case may be). The contents of all such material tax returns
are correct and complete in all material respects. Except as set forth in
Schedule 4.10, no tax Lien has been filed, and, to the knowledge of the
Borrower, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other
charge.

              4.11. Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of the Loans or
Letters of Credit will be used for purchasing or carrying any "margin stock"
(within the meaning of Regulation U) or for the purpose of purchasing, carrying
or trading in any securities under such circumstances as to involve the Borrower
in a violation of Regulation X or to involve any broker or dealer in a violation
of Regulation T. No indebtedness being reduced or retired out of the proceeds of
the Loans or Letters of Credit was or will be incurred for the purpose of
purchasing or carrying any "margin stock" (within the meaning of Regulation U).
Following application of the proceeds of the Loans and Letters of Credit,
"margin stock" (within the meaning of Regulation U) does not constitute more
than 25% of the value of the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. None
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the direct and
indirect use of proceeds of the Loans and Letters of Credit) will violate or
result in a violation of Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X. If
requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will furnish
to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement to the foregoing effect
in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-1 referred to in
Regulation U.

              4.12. Labor Matters. There are no strikes, stoppages, slowdowns or
other labor disputes against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pending or,
to the knowledge the Borrower, threatened that (individually or in the
aggregate) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Hours
worked by and payment made to employees of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other
applicable Requirement of Law dealing with such matters that (individually or in
the aggregate) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
All payments due from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries on account of
employee health and welfare insurance that (individually or in the aggregate)
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect if not paid have
been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the Borrower or the relevant
Subsidiary.

              4.13. ERISA. Neither a Reportable Event nor an "accumulated
funding deficiency" (within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section
302 of ERISA) has occurred during the five-year period prior to the date on
which this representation is made or deemed made with respect to any Plan, and
each Plan has complied in all material respects with all applicable provisions
of ERISA and the Code. No termination of a Single Employer Plan has occurred,
and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen, during such five-year
period. The present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer
Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as of the
last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is
made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to
such accrued benefits by a material amount. Neither the Borrower nor any
Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any
Multiemployer Plan that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result
in a material liability under


                                       54
<PAGE>   61

ERISA, and neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would become
subject to any material liability under ERISA if the Borrower or any such
Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer
Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this
representation is made or deemed made. To the best knowledge of the Borrower, no
such Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganization or Insolvent.

              4.14. Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. No Loan Party is
an "investment company", or a company "controlled" by an "investment company",
within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. No Loan
Party is subject to regulation under any Requirement of Law (other than
Regulation X) which limits or conditions its ability to incur Indebtedness.

              4.15. Subsidiaries.

              (a)    The Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 4.15 constitute all the
Subsidiaries of the Borrower as of the Closing Date. Schedule 4.15 sets forth as
of the Closing Date the name and jurisdiction of incorporation of each
Subsidiary and, as to each such Subsidiary, the percentage and number of each
class of Capital Stock owned by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.

              (b)    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 Capital Stock of the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, except as disclosed on Schedule 4.15. None
of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries has issued, or authorized the
issuance of, any Disqualified Stock.

              4.16. Use of Proceeds.

              (a)    The proceeds of Term Loans funded on any Term Loan Funding
Date shall be used solely (i) to fund Rodriquez Bridge Loans that are required
to be made by the Company on such Term Loan Funding Date pursuant to the terms
of the Rodriguez Bridge Loan Agreement, upon satisfaction of the conditions
therein set forth, or (ii) to pay when due in accordance with the terms of the
Acquisition Documentation for any Permitted Acquisition, upon satisfaction of
the conditions set forth in such Acquisition Documentation, a portion of the
purchase price for such Permitted Acquisition in an amount that, when added to
any amount concurrently funded by the Borrower or a Subsidiary, is sufficient to
pay such purchase price in full.

              (b)    The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans, the Swing Line
Loans and the Letters of Credit, shall be used for lawful and permitted
corporate purposes.

              4.17. Environmental Matters. Other than exceptions to any of the
following that could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to result in the payment of a Material Environmental Amount:


                                       55
<PAGE>   62

              (a)    The Borrower and its Subsidiaries (i) are, and within the
       period of all applicable statutes of limitation have been, in compliance
       with all applicable Environmental Laws; and (ii) reasonably believe that
       compliance with any Environmental Law that is or is expected to become
       applicable to any of them will be timely attained and maintained, without
       material expense.

              (b)    Materials of Environmental Concern are not present at, on,
       under, in, or about any real property now or formerly owned, leased or
       operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or at any other
       location (including any location to which Materials of Environmental
       Concern have been sent for re-use or recycling or for treatment, storage,
       or disposal) which could reasonably be expected to (i) give rise to
       liability of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under any applicable
       Environmental Law, or (ii) interfere with the Borrower's or any of its
       Subsidiaries' continued operations, or (iii) impair the fair saleable
       value of any real property owned or leased by the Borrower or any of its
       Subsidiaries.

              (c)    There is no judicial, administrative, or arbitral
       proceeding (including any notice of violation or alleged violation) under
       or relating to any Environmental Law to which the Borrower or any of its
       Subsidiaries is, or to the knowledge of the Borrower will be, named as a
       party that is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened.

              (d)    Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has
       received any written request for information, or been notified that it is
       a potentially responsible party under or relating to the federal
       Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act or
       any similar Environmental Law, or with respect to any Materials of
       Environmental Concern.

              (e)    Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has
       entered into or agreed to any consent decree, order, or settlement or
       other agreement, or is subject to any judgment, decree, or order or other
       agreement, in any judicial, administrative, arbitral, or other forum for
       dispute resolution, relating to compliance with or liability under any
       Environmental Law.

              (f)    Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has
       assumed or retained, by contract or operation of law, any liabilities of
       any kind, fixed or contingent, known or unknown, under any Environmental
       Law or with respect to any Material of Environmental Concern.

              4.18. Accuracy of Information, etc. No statement or information
contained in this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the Confidential
Information Memorandum or any other document, certificate or statement furnished
to the Arranger, any Agent or any Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, contained as of the date such
statement, information, document or certificate was so furnished (or, in the
case of the Confidential Information Memorandum, as of the date of this
Agreement), any untrue statement


                                       56
<PAGE>   63

of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to
make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading. The projections
and pro forma financial information contained in the materials referenced above
are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by management of
the Borrower to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the
Lenders that such financial information as it relates to future events is not to
be viewed as fact and that actual results during the period or periods covered
by such financial information may differ from the projected results set forth
therein by a material amount. There is no fact known to the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect that has not been expressly disclosed herein, in the other Loan
Documents, in the Confidential Information Memorandum or in any other documents,
certificates and written statements furnished to the Arranger, the Agents and
the Lenders for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and
by the other Loan Documents.

              4.19. Security Documents.

              (a)    The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement is effective to
create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral
described therein and proceeds thereof. In the case of the Pledged Stock
described, and as defined, in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, when any
stock certificates representing such Pledged Stock are delivered to the
Administrative Agent, and in the case of the other Collateral described in the
Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, when financing statements in appropriate
form are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 4.19(a) (which financing
statements have been duly completed and executed and delivered to the
Administrative Agent) and such other filings as are specified on Schedule 3 to
the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement are made (all of which filings have been
duly completed and executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent), the
Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on,
and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in
such Collateral and the proceeds thereof as security for the Obligations, in
each case prior and superior in right to any other Person (except, in the case
of Collateral other than Pledged Stock, non-consensual Liens permitted by
Section 7.3 to the extent arising by operation of law).

              (b)    The Intellectual Property Security Agreement is effective
to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Intellectual
Property Collateral described therein and proceeds thereof. Upon the filing of
(i) the Intellectual Property Security Agreement in the appropriate indexes of
the United States Patent and Trademark Office relative to patents and trademarks
(within three (3) months after the Closing Date), and the United States
Copyright Office relative to copyrights (within thirty (30) days after the
Closing Date), together with provision for payment of all requisite fees, and
(ii) financing statements in appropriate form for filing in the offices
specified on Schedule 4.19(b) (which financing statements have been duly
completed and executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent) the
Intellectual Property Security Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected Lien
on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties
in the Intellectual Property Collateral and the proceeds and products thereof,
as security for the Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral
Agreement), in each case prior


                                       57
<PAGE>   64

and superior in right to any other Person (except non-consensual Liens permitted
by Section 7.3 to the extent arising by operation of law).

              4.20. Solvency. Each Loan Party is, and after giving effect to the
incurrence of all Indebtedness and obligations being incurred in connection with
the Loan Documents and all Acquisition Documentation will be and will continue
to be, Solvent.

              4.21. Senior Indebtedness. The Obligations (including the
guarantee obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under the Guarantee and
Collateral Agreement) constitute "Senior Debt" and "Designated Senior Debt"
under and as defined in the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture and are
Indebtedness permitted to exist under the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture.
The provisions of Article Ten of the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture are
enforceable by each Lender and each other holder of Obligations in accordance
with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general equitable principles
(whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

              4.22. Insurance. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is
insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses
and risks and in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in
which it is engaged; and none of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (a) has
received notice from any insurer or agent of such insurer that substantial
capital improvements or other material expenditures will have to be made in
order to continue such insurance or (b) has any reason to believe that it will
not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage
expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers at a cost that could
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Administrative

FCC that are necessary for the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to conduct the
business in the manner in which it is currently being conducted.

              (b)    All FCC Licenses relating to the business of the Borrower
and its Subsidiaries are in full force and effect, valid for the balance of the
license terms normally applicable to radio stations licensed to the states in

ordinary course. The stations subject to such FCC Licenses are operating, and
have been operated since their construction or acquisition by the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries in material compliance with the Communications Act and
the FCC's rules, regulations, and written policies promulgated thereunder and
with the terms of the FCC Licenses. As of the Closing Date, (i) the Borrower and

before the FCC relating to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or any station, nor,
to the best knowledge of the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower, is any
such proceeding threatened and no complaint or investigation is pending or
threatened by or before the FCC (other than rulemaking proceedings of general
applicability to which the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and the stations are
not parties). The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have timely filed all required
reports and notices with the FCC and have paid all amounts due in timely fashion
on account of fees and charges to the FCC.

              (c)    All FCC Licenses relating to the business of the Borrower
and its Subsidiaries (except, to the extent elected by the Borrower, FCC
Licenses that are owned solely by one or more of the Excluded Foreign
Subsidiaries and relate solely to the business conducted by any of the Excluded
Foreign Subsidiaries) are held by one or more Broadcast License Subsidiaries.

              (d)    Other than exceptions to any of the following that could
not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect (or, in the case of Environmental Permits, result in the payment
of a Material Environmental Amount), both before and after consummation of each
Permitted Acquisition for which Acquisition Documentation has been executed and
delivered, (i) each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has obtained and holds
all Permits required for any property owned, leased or otherwise operated by or
on behalf of, or for the benefit of, such Person and for the operation of each
of its businesses as presently conducted and as proposed to be conducted, (ii)
all such Permits are in full force and effect, and each of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries has performed and observed all requirements of such Permits, (iii)
no event has occurred which allows or results in, or after notice or lapse of
time would allow or result in, revocation or termination by the issuer thereof
or in any other impairment of the rights of the holder of any such Permit, (iv)
no such Permits contain any restrictions, either individually or in the
aggregate, that are materially burdensome to the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, or to the operation of any of its businesses or any property
owned, leased or otherwise operated by such Person, (v) each of the Borrower and
its Subsidiaries reasonably believes that each of its Permits will be timely
renewed and complied with, without material expense, and that any additional
Permits that may be required of such Person will be timely obtained and complied
with, without material expense, and (vi) the Borrower has no knowledge or reason
to believe that any Governmental Authority is considering limiting, suspending,
revoking or renewing on materially burdensome terms any such Permit.

              (e)    No consent or authorization of, filing with, Permit from,
or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority is required in
connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability
of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents other than FCC approval of the
transfer of FCC Licenses to Broadcast License Subsidiaries, which (except in the
case of FCC Licenses owned solely by one or more of the Excluded Foreign
Subsidiaries and relating solely to the business conducted by any of the
Excluded Foreign Subsidiaries that the Borrower has not transferred to a
Broadcast License Subsidiary) has been obtained.

<PAGE>   75

       and Environmental Permits, and obtain, maintain and comply in all
       material respects with and maintain, and ensure that all tenants and

       Environmental Laws.

              6.9.  Broadcast License Subsidiaries.

              (a)    Cause all FCC Licenses (except, at the option of the
Borrower, FCC Licenses that are owned solely by one or more of the Excluded
Foreign Subsidiaries and relate solely to the business conducted by any of the
Excluded Foreign Subsidiaries) to be owned and held at all times by one or more
Broadcast License Subsidiaries.

              (b)    Ensure that each Broadcast License Subsidiary engages only
in the business of holding FCC Licenses and rights related thereto and that such
restriction is set forth in the Governing Documents of such Broadcast License
Subsidiary.

              (c)    Cause its financial statements, through appropriate
footnote disclosure, to indicate that the FCC Licenses (except, if applicable,
any FCC Licenses that are owned solely by one or more of the Excluded Foreign
Subsidiaries and relate solely to the business conducted by any of the Excluded
Foreign Subsidiaries) are held by one or more Broadcast License Subsidiaries.

Governing Documents and observe all necessary, appropriate, and customary

with the Property of any of the others of them or any other Person and otherwise
remains clearly identifiable.

              (f)    Conduct the business of the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries (including each Broadcast License Subsidiary) solely in its own
name and through its respective duly authorized managers, members, officers or
agents so as not to mislead others as to the identity of the Person with which
those others are concerned.

Indebtedness or other liabilities except under the Guarantee and Collateral
Agreement and liabilities permitted to be incurred under Section 7.16.

              (h)    Not hold itself out to the public or to any of its
individual creditors as being a unified Person with common assets and
liabilities with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or act in a manner that
would otherwise cause its creditors to believe that the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries (including each Broadcast License Subsidiary) is not a separate
entity distinct from each of the others of them and all other Persons.

              (i)    Not take any action, or conduct its affairs in any manner,
that could reasonably be expected to result in the separate existence of any

Broadcast License Subsidiary being substantively consolidated with those of the
Borrower or any of its other Subsidiaries (including any other Broadcast License
Subsidiary) in a bankruptcy, reorganization or other insolvency proceeding.

              6.10. Additional Collateral, etc.

Guarantor, promptly (and, in any event, within 90 days following the date of

which is and remains an Excluded Foreign Subsidiary), promptly (and, in any
event, within 90 days following such creation or the date of such acquisition)

Guarantee and Collateral Agreement as the Administrative Agent deems reasonably
necessary or advisable to grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of
the Secured Parties, a perfected first priority security interest in the Capital

representing such Capital Stock, together with undated stock powers, in blank,

described in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and the Intellectual
Property Security Agreement with respect to such new Subsidiary, including the
recording of instruments in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and
the United States Copyright Office, the execution and delivery by all necessary
Persons of Control Agreements and the filing of Uniform Commercial Code

Administrative Agent, deliver to the Administrative Agent legal opinions
relating to the matters described above, which opinions shall be in form and

any Property, new Subsidiary or new Excluded Foreign Subsidiary created or
acquired after the Closing Date, as applicable, as to which the Administrative
Agent has determined in its sole discretion that the collateral value thereof is
insufficient to justify the difficulty, time and/or expense of obtaining a
perfected Lien thereon.

              6.11. Use of Proceeds. Use the proceeds of the Loans only for the
purposes specified in Section 4.16.

Parties with respect to the Collateral in accordance with the Guarantee and
Collateral Agreement (or with respect to any additions thereto or replacements
or proceeds or products thereof or with respect to any other property or assets
hereafter acquired which may be deemed to be part of the Collateral) pursuant
hereto or thereto. Upon the exercise by the Administrative Agent or any Lender
of any power, right, privilege or remedy pursuant to this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents which requires any consent, approval, recording, qualification or
authorization of any Governmental Authority, the Borrower will execute and
deliver, or will cause the execution and delivery of, all applications,

       with respect to Indebtedness the outstanding principal amount of which
       exceeds in the aggregate $5,000,000; or

              (f)    (i) The Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall commence

<PAGE>   92

       Affiliate of any Loan Party shall so assert, or any Lien created by any

       ordinary voting power for the election of directors of the Borrower
       (determined on a fully diluted basis); (ii) any "person" or "group" (as
       such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities
       Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")), excluding the
       Permitted Investors, shall become, or obtain rights (whether by means or
       warrants, options or otherwise) to become, the "beneficial owner" (as
       defined in Rules 13(d)-3 and 13(d)-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or

              (m)    Any FCC License necessary for the conduct of any business
       or activity at any time conducted by the Borrower or any of its

       action with respect to any FCC License, the effect of which would
       reasonably be expected to result in, individually or in the aggregate, a
       Material Adverse Effect;

then, and in any such event, (A) if such event is an Event of Default specified
in clause (i) or (ii) of paragraph (f) above with respect to any Loan Party,
automatically the Commitments shall immediately terminate and the Loans
hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this

Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) shall immediately
become due and payable, and (B) if such event is any other Event of Default,
either or both of the following actions may be taken: (i) upon the request of
the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower
declare the Commitments to be terminated forthwith, whereupon the Commitments
shall immediately terminate; and (ii) with the consent of the Required Lenders,
the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the
Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Loans
hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all amounts of L/C
Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of
Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) to be due and
payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable.
Upon


                                       86
<PAGE>   93

the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to exercise any and all
remedies available under the Security Documents, including the Guarantee and
Collateral Agreement, or otherwise available under applicable law or otherwise.
With respect to all Letters of Credit with respect to which presentment for
honor shall not have occurred at the time of an acceleration pursuant to this
paragraph, the Borrower shall at such time deposit in a cash collateral account
opened by the Administrative Agent an amount in immediately available funds
equal to the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of
Credit (and the Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the
ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in all
amounts at any time on deposit in such cash collateral account to secure the
undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit and all other
Obligations). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that any funds
held in such cash collateral account are subject to any right or claim of any
Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties or that the
total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate undrawn and unexpired
amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, the Borrower shall, forthwith upon
demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as
additional funds to be deposited and held in such cash collateral account, an
amount equal to the excess of (a) such aggregate undrawn and unexpired amount
over (b) the total amount of funds, if any, then held in such cash collateral
account that the Administrative Agent determines to be free and clear of any
such right and claim. Amounts held in such cash collateral account shall be
applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under such
Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of
Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to
repay other obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully
drawn upon, all Reimbursement Obligations shall have been satisfied and all
other obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such cash
collateral account shall be returned to the Loan Parties (or such other Person
as may be lawfully entitled thereto).

                       SECTION 9. THE AGENTS and ARRANGER

              9.1.   Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and
appoints Lehman Commercial Paper Inc. as the Administrative Agent under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each Lender irrevocably authorizes
the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf
under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to
exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the
Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no
Agent shall 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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist
against any Agent.


                                       87
<PAGE>   94

              9.2.  Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute
any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or
through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel
concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall
not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys
in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

              9.3.  Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Arranger, nor any Agent
nor any of their respective Related Persons shall be (i) liable for any action
lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in
connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except for any
liability imposed by law, but then only if and to the extent found by a final
and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted
solely from its or any of its Related Persons' personal gross negligence or
willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for
any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party
or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided
for in, or received by the Arranger or the Agents under or in connection with,
this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party party thereto to
perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder or for the creation, validity,
legality, enforceability, perfection, priority, maintenance or enforcement of
any guaranty or Lien required or purporting to be created under any of the Loan
Documents or any other collateral security for the Obligations. As against any
Secured Party, any matter required herein to be satisfactory to, found
acceptable by or otherwise approved by the Administrative Agent may be approved
or disapproved by it in its sole discretion, acting as it may see fit given any
interest that it or its Affiliates may have and without any duty whatsoever to
any other Lender. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to
ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the
agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.

              9.4.  Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely,
and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing,
resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or
teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by
it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper
Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including
counsel the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by
such Agent. The Agents may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner
thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or
transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Each Agent
shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice
or concurrence of the Required Lenders or the requisite Lenders required under
Section 10.1 to authorize or require such action (or, if so specified by this
Agreement, all Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified
to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense
that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such
action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in
refraining from acting,


                                       88
<PAGE>   95

under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request
of the Required Lenders or the requisite Lenders under Section 10.1 to authorize
or require such action (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and
such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be
binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Obligations.

              9.5.  Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be
deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default hereunder
unless it has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to
this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a
"notice of default". In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a
notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The
Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default as
shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by
this Agreement, all Lenders), except that (a) the Administrative Agent shall not
be required to take any such action that it in good faith determines may be
unlawful or that it in good faith believes may be imprudent or may expose it to
liability, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any such
action unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it from the Persons
directing such action, and (c) unless and until the Administrative Agent shall
have received such direction, the Administrative Agent may decline to act or may
(but shall not be obligated to) take any action that it deems advisable.

              9.6.  Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender
expressly acknowledges that neither the Arranger nor any of the Agents nor any
of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys and other
advisors, partners, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any
representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Arranger or any Agent
hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any
affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or
warranty by the Arranger or any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to
the Arranger and the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon
the Arranger or any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and
investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other
condition, prospects and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their
affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans (and in the case of the
Issuing Lender, its Letters of Credit) hereunder and enter into this Agreement.
Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance
upon the Arranger or any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents
and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its
own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such
investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business,
operations, property, financial and other condition, prospects and
creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices,
reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by
the Administrative Agent hereunder, neither the Arranger nor any Agent shall
have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other
information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial
or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate
of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Arranger or such Agent
or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys and other
advisors, partners, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.


                                       89
<PAGE>   96

              9.7.  Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Arranger
and each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the
Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably
according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the
date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if
indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have
terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance
with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), from
and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind
whatsoever that may at any time (including at any time following the payment of
the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Arranger or such
Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement,
any of the other Loan Documents, any Acquisition Documentation or any documents
contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Arranger or
such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no
Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision
of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the Arranger's
or such Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this
Section 9.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans and Letters of Credit and all
other amounts payable hereunder.

              9.8.  Arranger and Agents in Their Individual Capacities. The
Arranger and each Agent and their respective affiliates may make loans to,
accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan
Party as though the Arranger was not the Arranger and such Agent was not an
Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any
Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, the Arranger and each Agent
shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the
Arranger or an Agent, as the case may be, and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders"
shall include the Arranger and each Agent in their respective individual
capacities.

              9.9.  Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may
resign as Administrative Agent upon 10 days' notice to the Lenders and the
Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall
appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which
successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or Section
8(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be
subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the
rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term
"Administrative Agent" shall mean such successor agent effective upon such
appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent's rights, powers
and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or
further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of
the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans or Letters of Credit.
If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the
date that is 10 days following a retiring Administrative Agent's


                                       90
<PAGE>   97

notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent's resignation shall
nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and
perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time,
if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.
After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation as such, the provisions of
this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to
be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents.

              9.10. Authorization to Release Liens. The Administrative Agent is
hereby irrevocably authorized by each of the Lenders to release any Lien
covering any Property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is the
subject of a Disposition which the Administrative Agent in good faith believes
to be permitted by this Agreement or to have been consented to in accordance
with Section 10.1 or to be owned by any Subsidiary of the Borrower the Capital
Stock of which was transferred, in any such Disposition, to a Person who is not
an Affiliate of the Borrower.

              9.11. The Arranger, Syndication Agent and Documentation Agent. The
parties acknowledge and agree that Lehman Brothers Inc. (in such capacity, the
"Arranger") shall be credited as and may publicize that it is the sole lead
arranger and book-running manager of the financing contemplated hereby, any
Lender or Affiliate of a Lender that is appointed Syndication Agent (in such
capacity, the "Syndication Agent") by the Arranger shall be credited as and may
publicize that it is the syndication agent of such financing, and any Lender or
Affiliate of a Lender that is appointed Documentation Agent (in such capacity,
the "Documentation Agent") by the Arranger shall be credited as and may
publicize that it is the documentation agent of such financing. The Arranger,
Syndication Agent and Documentation Agent (a) shall not, by reason of their
designation as such or the provisions of this Section 9 or any action taken or
omitted in such capacity, have any power, duty, responsibility or liability
whatsoever under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in respect of the
financing contemplated hereby and (b) shall nevertheless be entitled to all of
the rights, immunities, indemnities and benefits granted to them herein.

                           SECTION 10. MISCELLANEOUS

              10.1. Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement nor any other
Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or
modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.1. The
Required Lenders and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, or
(with the written consent of the Required Lenders) the Administrative Agent and
each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (a)
enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the
other Loan Documents (including amendments and restatements hereof or thereof)
for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Loan
Parties hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as
may be specified in the instrument of waiver, any of the requirements of this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default and its consequences;
provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or


                                       91
<PAGE>   98

modification shall (i) forgive the principal amount or extend the final
scheduled date of maturity of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, extend the
scheduled date of any amortization payment in respect of any Term Loan, reduce
the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder or extend the scheduled
date of any payment thereof, or increase the amount or extend the expiration
date of any Commitment of any Lender, in each case without the consent of each
Lender directly affected thereby; (ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of
this Section or reduce any percentage specified in the definition of "Required
Lenders", consent to the assignment or transfer by any Loan Party of any of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release all or
substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantors from their guarantee obligations
under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, in each case without the consent
of all Lenders; (iii) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of
"Majority Facility Lenders" with respect to any Facility without the written
consent of all Lenders under such Facility; (iv) amend, modify or waive any
provision of Section 9 without the consent of the Arranger or any Agent directly
affected thereby; (v) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.6 or 2.7
without the written consent of the Swing Line Lender; (vi) amend, modify or
waive any provision of Section 2.18 without the consent of each Lender directly
affected thereby; or (vii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 3
without the consent of the Issuing Lender. Any such waiver and any such
amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders
and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Agents, the
Arranger and all existing and future holders of the Obligations. In the case of
any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Arranger and the Agents shall be
restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents, and any Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not
continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default,
or impair any right consequent thereon. Any such waiver, amendment, supplement
or modification shall be effected by a written instrument signed by the parties
required to sign pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section; provided,
that delivery of an executed signature page of any such instrument by facsimile
transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart
thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement may be amended (or amended
and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Arranger,
the Agents and the Borrower (x) 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
(collectively, the "Additional Extensions of Credit") to share ratably in the
benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans and
Revolving Extensions of Credit and the accrued interest and fees in respect
thereof and (y) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit
facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders, Required Prepayment
Lenders and Majority Revolving Facility Lenders; provided, however, that no such
amendment shall permit the Additional Extensions of Credit to share ratably with
or with preference to the Term Loans in the application of mandatory prepayments
without the consent of the Required Prepayment Lenders or otherwise to share
ratably with or with preference to the Revolving Extensions of Credit without
the consent of the Majority Revolving Facility Lenders.

              10.2. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the
respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing (including by

              Issuing Lender:                  As notified by the Issuing Lender
                                               to the Administrative Agent and
                                               the Borrower

provided that any notice, request or demand to or upon any Agent or any Lender
shall not be effective until received.

              10.3. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and
no delay in exercising, on the part of the Arranger, any Agent or any Lender,
any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan
Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other
or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or
privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are
cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges
provided by law.

              10.4. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All
representations and warranties made hereunder, in the other Loan Documents and
in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in
connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement
and the making of the Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder.

              10.5. Payment of Expenses. The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or
reimburse the Arranger and the Agents on demand for all out-of-pocket expenses,
including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel,
incurred in connection with the Facilities and the development, preparation and
execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection
herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, subject to the limitation set
forth in the proviso in paragraph 1(f) of the Fee Letter, (b) to pay or
reimburse each Lender, the Arranger and each Agent for all its costs and
expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any
rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other
documents, including the fees and disbursements of counsel (including the
allocated fees and disbursements and other charges of in-house counsel) to each
Lender and of counsel to the Arranger and each Agent, (c) to pay, indemnify, and
hold each Lender, the Arranger and the Agents harmless from, any and all
recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or
resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other similar taxes, if
any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the
execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the
transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of,
or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan




                                       94
<PAGE>   101

Documents and any such other documents, and (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold each
Lender, the Arranger and each Agent, and each of their respective Related
Persons (each of the Lenders, Arranger and Agents and their Related Persons, an
"Indemnitee") harmless from and against any and all other liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the
execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this
Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including any
of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or Letters of
Credit or the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any
Environmental Law applicable to the operations of any Loan Party or any of the
Properties and the fees and disbursements and other charges of legal counsel in
connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against the
Borrower hereunder (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the
"Indemnified Liabilities"), provided, that the Borrower shall have no obligation
hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the
extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final and nonappealable
decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. Without limiting the
foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower agrees
not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and
agrees to cause its Subsidiaries so to waive, all rights for contribution or any
other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines,
liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or
nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by
statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee. All amounts due under this Section
shall be payable not later than five days after written demand therefor.
Statements payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be submitted
to the Borrower in accordance with Section 10.2, or to such other Person or
address as may be hereafter designated by the Borrower in a written notice to
the Administrative Agent. The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment
of the Loans and Letters of Credit and all other amounts payable hereunder.

              10.6. Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.

              (a)    This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders, the Arranger, the Agents, all other
holders of the Obligations and their respective successors and assigns, except
that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations
under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Arranger, the
Agents and each Lender.

              (b)    Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or any
other Person, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more
banks, financial institutions or other entities (each, a "Participant")
participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Commitment of such
Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest
to a Participant, such Lender's obligations under this Agreement to the other
parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain
solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the
holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent


                                       95
<PAGE>   102

shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with
such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. In no event shall any Participant under any such participation have
any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan
Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except to
the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of,
or interest on, the Loans or any fees payable hereunder, or postpone the date of
the final maturity of the Loans, in each case to the extent subject to such
participation. The Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this
Agreement and the Loans are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall
have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each
Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed
to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts
owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its
participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this
Agreement, provided that, in purchasing such participating interest, such
Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the Lenders the
proceeds thereof as provided in Section 10.7(a) as fully as if it were a Lender
hereunder. The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to
the benefits of Sections 2.19, 2.20 and 2.21 with respect to its participation
in the Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time as if it was a
Lender; provided that, in the case of Section 2.20, such Participant shall have
complied with the requirements of said Section and provided, further, that no
Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such
Section than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in
respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender
to such Participant had no such transfer occurred.

              (c)    Any Lender (an "Assignor") may, in accordance with
applicable law, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time and
from time to time assign to any Lender or any affiliate or Control Investment
Affiliate thereof or, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent and, in the case of any assignment of Revolving Credit Commitments, the
written consent of the Issuing Lender and the Swing Line Lender (which, in each
case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (provided (x) that no such
consent need be obtained by a Lehman Entity for a period of 60 days following
the Closing Date, (y) the consent of the Borrower need not be obtained with
respect to any assignment of Term Loans to any Person other than a Person that
is, or is an Affiliate of a Person that is, engaged in a Permitted Business, and
(z) in any event the consent of the Borrower need not be obtained with respect
to any assignment at any time when a Default is continuing), to an additional
bank, financial institution or other entity (an "Assignee") all or any part of
its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and
Acceptance, substantially in the form of Exhibit J, executed by such Assignee
and such Assignor (and, where the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent or the Issuing Lender or the Swing Line Lender is required pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, by the Borrower and such other Persons) and delivered to
the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register;
provided that no such assignment to an Assignee (other than any Lender or any
affiliate thereof) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of less than
$5,000,000 (other than in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender's
interests under this Agreement), unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent. Any such assignment need not be ratable as among the
Facilities. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and
after the effective date determined


                                       96
<PAGE>   103

pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be
a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance,
have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with a Commitment and/or
Loans as set forth therein, and (y) the Assignor thereunder shall, to the extent
provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations
under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering
all of an Assignor's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Assignor
shall cease to be party hereto as a Lender).

              (d)    The Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of the Borrower,
maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.2 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 Commitment of, and
principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. The
entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error,
and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each
Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loans and any
Notes evidencing such Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement.
Any assignment of any Loan, whether or not evidenced by a Note, shall be
effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the
Register (and each Note shall expressly so provide). Any assignment or transfer
of all or part of a Loan evidenced by a Note shall be registered on the Register
only upon surrender for registration of assignment or transfer of the Note
evidencing such Loan, accompanied by a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance;
thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be
issued to the designated Assignee, and the old Notes shall be returned by the
Administrative Agent to the Borrower marked "canceled". The Register shall be
available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender (with respect to any
entry relating to such Lender's Loans) at any reasonable time and from time to
time upon reasonable prior notice.

              (e)    Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed
by an Assignor and an Assignee (and, in any case where the consent of any other
Person is required by Section 10.6(c), by each such other Person) together with
payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of
$3,500 (except that no such registration and processing fee shall be payable (y)
in connection with an assignment by or to a Lehman Entity or (z) in the case of
an Assignee which is already a Lender or is an affiliate of a Lender or a Person
under common management with a Lender), the Administrative Agent shall promptly
accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained
therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to
the Borrower. On or prior to such effective date, the Borrower, at its own
expense, upon request, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (in
exchange for the Revolving Credit Note and/or applicable Term Notes, as the case
may be, of the assigning Lender) a new Revolving Credit Note and/or applicable
Term Notes, as the case may be, to such Assignee or its registered assigns in an
amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment and/or applicable Term Loans, as
the case may be, assumed or acquired by it pursuant to such Assignment and
Acceptance and, if the Assignor has retained a Revolving Credit Commitment
and/or Term Loans, as the case may be, upon request, a new Revolving Credit Note
and/or Term Notes, as the case may be, to the Assignor or its registered assigns
in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment and/or applicable Term
Loans, as the case

may be, retained by it hereunder. Such new Note or Notes shall be dated the
Closing Date and shall otherwise be in the form of the Note or Notes replaced
thereby.

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

              10.7. Adjustments; Set-off.

              (a)    Except to the extent that this Agreement provides for
payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders under a
particular Facility, if any Lender (a "Benefited Lender") shall at any time
receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive
any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by
set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section
8(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or
collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other
Lender's Obligations, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the
other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other
Lender's Obligations, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of
any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to
share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the
Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or
benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall
be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of
such recovery, but without interest.

              (b)    In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders
provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the
Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent
permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the
Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any
currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in
each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or
unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency
thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. Each Lender agrees
to notify promptly the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such
setoff and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give
such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

              10.8. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more
of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all
of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the
same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by
facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the
parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

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

              10.10. Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents
represent the agreement of the Borrower, the Agents, the Arranger and the
Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises,
undertakings, representations or warranties by the Arranger, any Agent or any
Lender relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to
herein or in the other Loan Documents.

              10.11. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND
OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

              10.12. Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. The Borrower hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally:

              (a)    submits for itself and its Property in any legal action or
       proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to
       which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment
       in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the
       courts of the State of New York situate in the County of New York, the
       courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New
       York, and appellate courts from any thereof;

              (b)    consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought
       in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have
       to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that
       such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees
       not to plead or claim the same;

              (c)    agrees that service of process in any such action or
       proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or
       certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage
       prepaid, to the Borrower at its address set forth in Section 10.2 or at
       such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been
       notified pursuant thereto;

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

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

              10.13. Acknowledgments. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that:

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

              (b)    neither the Arranger, nor any Agent nor any Lender has any
       fiduciary relationship with or duty to the Borrower arising out of or in
       connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and
       the relationship between the Arranger, the Agents and Lenders, on one
       hand, and the Borrower, on the other hand, in connection herewith or
       therewith is solely that of participants in a debtor and creditor
       transaction; and

              (c)    no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan
       Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated
       hereby among the Arranger, the Agents and the Lenders or between the
       Borrower and any of them.

              10.14. Confidentiality. Each of the Arranger, the Agents and the
Lenders agrees to keep confidential all non-public information provided to it by
any Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement that is designated by such Loan Party
as confidential; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Arranger, any
Agent or any Lender from disclosing any such information (a) to the Arranger,
any Agent, any other Lender or any affiliate of any thereof (b) to any
Participant or Assignee (each, a "Transferee") or prospective Transferee that
agrees to comply with the provisions of this Section, (c) to any of its
employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional
advisors, (d) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority having
jurisdiction over it, (e) in response to any order of any court or other
Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any
Requirement of Law, (f) if required to do so in connection with any litigation
or similar proceeding, (g) that has been publicly disclosed other than in breach
of this Section, (h) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or
any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that
requires access to information about a Lender's investment portfolio in
connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender or (i) in connection
with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

              10.15. Release of Collateral and Guarantee Obligations.

              (a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein
or in any other Loan Document, upon request of the Borrower in connection with
any Disposition of Property permitted by the Loan Documents, the Administrative
Agent shall (without notice to or vote or consent of any Lender, or any
affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any Specified Hedge Agreement) take
such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in any
Collateral being Disposed of in such Disposition, and to release any guarantee
obligations of any Person being Disposed of in such Disposition, to the extent
necessary to permit consummation of such Disposition in accordance with the Loan
Documents provided that the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative
Agent, at least five Business Days prior to the date of the proposed release, a
written request for release identifying the relevant Collateral being Disposed



                                      100
<PAGE>   107

of in such Disposition and the terms of such Disposition in reasonable detail,
including the date thereof, the price thereof and any estimated expenses in
connection therewith, together with a certification by the Borrower stating that
such transaction is in compliance with this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and that the proceeds of such Disposition will be applied in
accordance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

              (b)    The Administrative Agent shall be, and hereby is,
irrevocably authorized and empowered to release any and all of the Collateral
and take any and all actions necessary therefor or reasonably incidental
thereto, upon request of the Borrower and without notice to or consent of any
Lender or any other holder of Obligations, when all Commitments have terminated,
all Letters of Credit have been discharged, the principal of and interest on all
Loans and Reimbursement Obligations have been paid in full, and the
Administrative Agent has received payment in full, or payment security
satisfactory to it, as to all other Obligations that are claimed by the
Administrative Agent or in respect of which the Administrative Agent has
received, reasonably in advance of such release, written notice that any payment
is due or any claim is pending.

              10.16. Accounting Changes. In the event that any "Accounting
Change" (as defined below) shall occur and such change results in a change in
the method of calculation of financial covenants, standards or terms in this
Agreement, then the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree to enter into
negotiations in order to amend such provisions of this Agreement so as to
equitably reflect such Accounting Changes with the desired result that the
criteria for evaluating the Borrower's financial condition shall be the same
after such Accounting Changes as if such Accounting Changes had not been made.
Until such time as such an amendment shall have been executed and delivered by
the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, all financial
covenants, standards and terms in this Agreement shall continue to be calculated
or construed as if such Accounting Changes had not occurred. "Accounting
Changes" refers to changes in accounting principles required or permitted by the
promulgation of any rule, regulation, pronouncement or opinion by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants or, if applicable, the SEC.

              10.17. Delivery of Lender Addenda. Each initial Lender shall
become a party to this Agreement by delivering to the Administrative Agent a
Lender Addendum duly executed by such Lender, the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent.

              10.18. Construction. Each covenant contained herein shall be
construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of
each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant
shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse
compliance with any other covenant. Where any provision herein refers to action
to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such
provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or
indirectly by such Person.

              10.19. WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN


                                      101
<PAGE>   108

ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

The Applicable Margin shall be determined on a quarterly basis based on the
Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the most recent fiscal quarter
and for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters then ended, except that
the Applicable Margin will be the highest rate set forth above (2.75% for
Eurodollar Rate Loans and 1.75% for Base Rate Loans) (i) for the period from the
Closing Date until the Grid Effective Date and (ii) whenever any Event of
Default is continuing. Changes in the Applicable Margin resulting from changes
in the Consolidated Leverage Ratio shall become effective on the date (the
"Adjustment Date") on which financial statements are delivered to the Lenders
pursuant to Section 6.1 (but in any event not later than the 45th day after the
end of each of the first three quarterly periods of each fiscal year or the 90th
day after the end of each fiscal year, as the case may be) and shall remain in
effect until the next change to be effected pursuant to this paragraph. If any
financial statements referred to above are not delivered within the time periods
specified above, then, until such financial statements are delivered, the
Consolidated Leverage Ratio as at the end of the fiscal period that would have
been covered thereby shall for the purposes of this definition be deemed to be
greater than 6.5:1.
