        2.01. Loans.

                (a) Revolving Loans.

                        (i) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of
                this Agreement (including the amount limitations set forth in
                Paragraph 2.03), each Lender severally agrees to advance to the
                Borrowers from time to time during the period beginning on the
                Closing Date and ending on the Revolver Termination Date such
                revolving loans in Currencies as the Borrowers may request under
                this Subparagraph 2.01(a) (individually, a "Revolving Loan");
                provided, however, that no Lender shall have any obligation to
                make a requested Revolving Loan if, after giving effect to such
                Loan, the Dollar Equivalent of the such Lender's Revolving Loans
                then outstanding would exceed such Lender's Commitment at such
                time. All Revolving Loans shall be made on a pro rata basis by
                Lenders in accordance with their respective Proportionate
                Shares, with each Revolving Loan Borrowing to be comprised of a
                Revolving Loan made by each Lender equal to such Lender's
                Proportionate Share of such Revolving Loan Borrowing. Except as
                otherwise provided herein, Borrowers may borrow, repay and
                reborrow Revolving Loans until the Revolver Termination Date.

                        (ii) Notice of Borrowing. Borrowers shall request each
                Revolving Loan Borrowing by delivering to Agent an irrevocable
                written notice in the form of Exhibit A, appropriately completed
                (a "Notice of Revolving Loan Borrowing"), which specifies, among
                other things:

                                (A) The currency and principal amount of such
                        Borrowing, which shall be in the minimum Dollar
                        Equivalent of, (1) in the case of a Borrowing in an
                        Alternative Currency, $5,000,000 or an integral multiple
                        of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (2) in the case of a
                        Borrowing in Dollars, $1,000,000 or an integral multiple
                        of $500,000 in excess thereof;

                                (B) Whether such Borrowing is to consist of Base
                        Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans;

                                (C) If such Borrowing is to consist of LIBOR
                        Loans, the initial Interest Period selected by the
                        applicable Borrower for such Borrowing in accordance
                        with Paragraph 2.02;



                                       16
<PAGE>   21

                                (D) The date of such Borrowing, which shall be a
                        Business Day; and

                                (E) The applicable Borrower for such Borrowing.

                Borrowers shall give each Notice of Revolving Loan Borrowing to
                Agent at least four (4) Business Days before the date of the
                requested Revolving Loan Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing in
                an Alternative Currency and at three (3) Business Days before
                the date of the requested Revolving Loan Borrowing in the case
                of a Revolving Loan Borrowing in Dollars consisting of LIBOR
                Loans and at least one (1) Business Day before the date of the
                requested Revolving Loan Borrowing in the case of a Revolving
                Loan Borrowing in Dollars consisting of Base Rate Loans. Each
                Notice of Revolving Loan Borrowing shall be signed by the
                applicable Borrower and delivered by first-class mail or
                facsimile to Agent at the office or facsimile number and during
                the hours specified in Paragraph 8.01; provided, however, that
                Borrowers shall promptly deliver to Agent the original of any
                Notice of Revolving Loan Borrowing initially delivered by
                facsimile. Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the
                contents of each Notice of Revolving Loan Borrowing.

                        (iii) Interest Rates. Borrowers shall pay interest on
                the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan from the date
                of such Revolving Loan until the maturity thereof, at one of the
                following rates per annum:

                                (A) During such periods as such Revolving Loan
                        is a Base Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the
                        Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin therefor, such rate
                        to change from time to time as the Applicable Margin or
                        Base Rate shall change; and

                                (B) During such periods as such Revolving Loan
                        is a LIBOR Loan, at a rate per annum equal at all times
                        during each Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan to the
                        LIBO Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable
                        Margin therefor, such rate to change from time to time
                        during such Interest Period as the Applicable Margin
                        shall change.

                All Revolving Loans in each Revolving Loan Borrowing shall, at
                any given time prior to maturity, bear interest at one, and only
                one, of the above rates. Only Borrowings in Dollars may be Base
                Rate Loans.

                        (iv) Scheduled Payments. Borrowers shall repay the
                principal amount of the Revolving Loans in full on the Revolver
                Termination Date. Such repayment may be effected with the
                proceeds of the Term Loan Borrowing pursuant to Subparagraph
                2.01(b)(vi). Borrowers shall pay accrued interest on the unpaid
                principal amount of each Revolving Loan in arrears (A) in the
                case of a Base Rate Loan, on the 27th day of each January,
                April, July and October, (B) in the case of a LIBOR Loan, on the
                last day of each Interest Period therefor (and, if any such
                Interest Period is longer than three (3) months, every three (3)
                months); and (C) in the case of all Revolving Loans, upon
                prepayment (to the extent thereof) and at maturity.

                        (v) Purpose. FIL shall use the proceeds of the initial
                Revolving Loan to repay on the Closing Date all indebtedness
                outstanding under the Existing FIL Credit Agreement and
                thereafter Borrowers shall use the proceeds of the Revolving
                Loans for their respective working capital and general corporate
                needs.

                (b) Term Loan.

                        (i) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of
                this Agreement (including the amount limitations set forth in
                Paragraph 2.03), each Lender severally agrees to advance, upon
                the request of Borrowers pursuant to Subparagraph 2.01(b)(ii),
                to Borrowers on the Revolver Termination Date such term loans in
                Currencies as Borrowers shall request under this

                Subparagraph 2.01(b) (individually, a "Term Loan"); provided,
                however, that no Lender shall have any obligation to make
                requested Term Loans if the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate
                principal amount thereof would exceed such Lender's Commitment
                on the Revolver Termination Date. The Term Loans shall be made
                on a pro rata basis by Lenders in accordance with their
                respective Proportionate Shares, with each Term Loan Borrowing
                to be comprised of a Term Loan by each Lender equal to such
                Lender's Proportionate Share of such Term Loan Borrowing.
                Borrowers may not reborrow the principal amount of a Term Loan
                after repayment or prepayment thereof.

                        (ii) Notice of Borrowing. Borrowers shall request the

                        multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (2) in the
                        case of a Borrowing in Dollars, $1,000,000 or an
                        integral multiple of approximately $500,000 in excess

                        initially to be a LIBOR Portion, the initial Interest
                        Period selected by Borrower for each such Portion in
                        accordance with Paragraph 2.02; and

                                (D) The applicable Borrower for each Term Loan
                        Borrowing.

                Borrowers shall give the Notice of Term Loan Borrowing to Agent
                at least four (4) Business Days before the Revolver Termination
                Date in the case of a Term Loan Borrowing in an Alternative
                Currency and at least three (3) Business Days before the date of
                the requested Revolver Termination Date in the case of a Term

                the Term Loan Borrowing is initially to be a Base Rate Portion.
                The Notice of Term Loan Borrowing shall be signed by the
                applicable Borrowers and delivered by first-class mail or
                facsimile to Agent at the office or facsimile number and during

                Borrowers shall promptly deliver to Agent the original of the
                Notice of Term Loan Borrowing if initially delivered by
                facsimile. Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the
                contents of the Notice of Term Loan Borrowing.

                rates per annum:

                                (A) During such periods as any Portion of such

                        Term Loan is a LIBOR Portion, at a rate per annum on
                        such Portion equal at all times during each Interest
                        Period for such Portion to the LIBO Rate for such
                        Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin therefor,

                Each LIBOR Portion of the Term Loan Borrowing shall be in a

                of a LIBOR Portion into a Base Rate Portion shall be made on,
                and only on, the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR
                Portion. Borrowers shall request such a conversion by an
                irrevocable written notice to Agent in a form acceptable to
                Agent, appropriately completed (a "Notice of Term Loan
                Conversion"), which specifies, among other things:

                                (A) The Portion of the Term Loan Borrowing which
                        is to be converted;

                                (B) The amount and Type of each Portion of the
                        Term Loan Borrowing into which it is to be converted;

                                (C) If any Portion of the Term Loan Borrowing is
                        to be converted into a LIBOR Portion, the initial
                        Interest Period selected by Borrower for such Portion in
                        accordance with Paragraph 2.02; and

                                (D) The date of the requested conversion, which
                        shall be a Business Day.

                Borrower shall give each Notice of Term Loan Conversion to Agent
                at least four (4) Business Days before the date of the requested
                conversion in the case of a Term Loan Conversion in an
                Alternative Currency and at least three (3) Business Days before
                the date of the requested conversion in the case of a Term Loan
                Conversion in Dollars. Each Notice of Term Loan Conversion shall
                be delivered by first-class mail or facsimile to Agent at the
                office or to the facsimile number and during the hours specified
                in Paragraph 8.01; provided, however, that such Borrower shall
                promptly deliver to Agent the original of any Notice of Term
                Loan Conversion initially delivered by facsimile. Agent shall
                promptly notify each Lender of the contents of each Notice of
                Term Loan Conversion. Only Term Loan Borrowings in Dollars may
                include Base Rate Portions.

                        (v) Scheduled Payments. Borrowers shall repay the
                principal amount of the Term Loans in full in a single
                installment on the Term Loan Maturity Date. Borrowers shall pay
                accrued interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Term
                Loan in arrears (A) in the case of a Base Rate Portion, on the
                27th day of each January, April, July and October, (B) in the
                case of a LIBOR Portion, on the last day of each Interest Period
                (and if any such Interest Period is equal to or longer than
                three (3) months, every three (3) months); and (C) in the case
                of all Term Loans, upon prepayment (to the extent thereof) and
                at maturity.

                        (vi) Purpose. Borrowers shall use the proceeds of the
                Term Loans first to repay all outstanding Revolving Loans and
                then for their respective working capital and general corporate
                needs. Any Revolving Loans outstanding at the time of the
                funding of any Term Loan shall be deemed to be converted into
                Term Loans.

        2.02. LIBOR Interest Periods.

                (a) Terms. The initial and each subsequent Interest Period
        selected by a Borrower for any Borrowing consisting of LIBOR Loans or
        any LIBOR Portion of a Term Loan Borrowing shall be one (1), two (2),
        three (3) or six (6) months; provided, however, that (i) any Interest
        Period which would otherwise end on a day which is not a Business Day
        shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless such next
        Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case such
        Interest Period shall end on the immediately preceding Business Day;
        (ii) any Interest Period which begins on the last Business Day of a



                                       19
<PAGE>   24

        calendar month (or on a day for which there is no numerically
        corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest
        Period) shall end on the last Business Day of a calendar month; (iii) no
        Interest Period for a Revolving Loan Borrowing shall end after the
        Revolver Termination Date; and (iv) no Interest Period for a LIBOR
        Portion of a Term Loan Borrowing shall end after the Term Loan Maturity
        Date.

                (b) Notice of Interest Period Selection. The applicable Borrower
        shall notify Agent by an irrevocable written notice in a form acceptable
        to Agent, appropriately completed (a "Notice of Interest Period
        Selection"), at least four (4) Business Days prior to the last day of
        each Interest Period for any Borrowing in an Alternative Currency and at
        least three (3) Business Days prior to the last day of each Interest
        Period for a Revolving Loan Borrowing in Dollars consisting of LIBOR
        Loans or any LIBOR Portion of a Term Loan Borrowing of the Interest
        Period selected by such Borrower for the next succeeding Interest Period
        for such Borrowing or Portion. Each Notice of Interest Period Selection
        shall be given by first-class mail or facsimile to the office or the
        facsimile number and during the hours specified in Paragraph 8.01;
        provided, however, that the applicable Borrower shall promptly deliver
        to Agent the original of any Notice of Interest Period Selection
        initially delivered by facsimile. If any Borrower fails to notify Agent
        of the next Interest Period for a Borrowing in accordance with this
        Paragraph 2.02, the next Interest Period for such Borrowing shall be one
        (1) month.

        2.03. Amount Limitations, Commitment Reductions, Etc.

                (a) Commitment Limitations. The Dollar Equivalent of the
        aggregate principal amount of all Loans outstanding at any time shall
        not exceed the Total Commitment at such time.

                (b) Determination of Dollar Equivalent. For the purposes of
        applying the amount limitations set forth in Subparagraph 2.03(a) and
        calculating the Unused Total Commitment and for all other purposes
        herein, the Dollar Equivalent of each Loan in an Alternative Currency
        shall be determined by Agent on the date of such Loan, on the last day
        of each month and, if an Event of Default has occurred and is
        continuing, at any other time determined by Agent, and the Dollar
        Equivalent of such Loan at any time shall be the Dollar Equivalent most
        recently so determined by Agent. Each such determination by Agent shall,
        in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the
        parties hereto.

                (c) Reduction or Cancellation of Commitments.

                        Upon four (4) Business Days prior written notice to
                Agent, Borrowers may permanently reduce the Total Commitment by
                the Dollar Equivalent amount of Five Million Dollars
                ($5,000,000) or an integral multiple of One Million Dollars
                ($1,000,000) or cancel the Total Commitment in its entirety;
                provided, however, that:

                                (i) Borrowers may not reduce the Total
                        Commitment prior to the Revolver Termination Date, if,
                        after giving effect to such reduction, the Dollar
                        Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount of all
                        Loans then outstanding would exceed the Total
                        Commitment; and

                                (ii) Borrowers may not cancel the Total
                        Commitment prior to the Revolver Termination Date, if,
                        after giving effect to such cancellation, any Loan would
                        then remain outstanding.

                (d) Effect of Commitment Reductions. From the effective date of
        any reduction of the Total Commitment, the Commitment Fees payable
        pursuant to Subparagraph 2.04(b) shall be computed on the basis of the
        Total Commitment. Once reduced or cancelled, the Total Commitment may
        not be increased or reinstated without the prior written consent of all
        Lenders. Any reduction of the Total Commitment pursuant to Subparagraph
        2.03(b) shall be applied ratably to reduce each Lender's Commitment in
        accordance with clause (i) of Subparagraph 2.09(a).



                                       20
<PAGE>   25

        2.04. Fees.

                (a) Agent's Fee. Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for its own
        account, agent's fees and other compensation in the amounts and at the
        times set forth in the Agent's Fee Letter.

                (b) Commitment Fees. Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the
        ratable benefit of Lenders as provided in clause (iii) of Subparagraph
        2.09(a), commitment fees in Dollars (the "Commitment Fees") equal to the
        Commitment Fee Percentage of the daily average Unused amount of the
        Total Commitment for the period beginning on the date of this Agreement
        and ending on the Revolver Termination Date. Borrowers shall pay the
        Commitment Fees in arrears on the 27th day of January, April, July and
        October prior to the Revolver Termination Date (commencing January 27,
        2000) and on the Revolver Termination Date.

        2.05. Prepayments.

                (a) Terms of all Prepayments. Upon the prepayment of any Loan
        (whether such prepayment is an optional prepayment under Subparagraph
        2.05(b), a mandatory prepayment required by Subparagraph 2.05(c) or a
        mandatory prepayment required by any other provision of this Agreement
        or the other Credit Documents, including a prepayment upon
        acceleration), the applicable Borrower shall pay to the Lender that made
        such Loan (i) all accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the
        amount prepaid and (ii) if such prepayment is the prepayment of a LIBOR
        Loan or of a LIBOR Portion on a day other than the last day of an
        Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan or such LIBOR Portion, all amounts
        payable to such Lender pursuant to Paragraph 2.12.

                (b) Optional Prepayments. At its option, any Borrower may
        prepay, in whole or in part, any Borrowing made to it, provided that:

                        (i) Such Borrower delivers to Agent prior written notice
                of such prepayment, which notice shall be delivered (A) not less
                than four (4) Business Days prior to the prepayment of any
                Revolving Loan Borrowing in Alternative Currency; and (B) not
                less than three (3) Business Days prior to the prepayment of any
                Revolving Loan Borrowing consisting of LIBOR Loans or any LIBOR
                Portion or a Term Loan Borrowing; and (C) not less than one (1)
                Business Day prior to any prepayment of a Base Rate Borrowing or
                Base Rate Portion; and

                        (ii) Any prepayment in part shall be in a minimum
                aggregate principal amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of,
                (A) in the case of a Borrowing in an Alternative Currency,
                $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
                thereof or (B) in the case of a Borrowing in Dollars, $1,000,000
                or an integral multiple of $500,000.

                (c) Mandatory Prepayments. If, at any time, the principal amount
        of any Loans then outstanding exceeds any limitations set forth in
        Subparagraph 2.03(c), the applicable Borrowers shall immediately prepay
        such Loans in such amounts as Agent shall determine are necessary to
        eliminate such excess.

                (d) Application of Prepayments. All prepayments of Borrowings
        shall, to the extent possible, be applied to prepay the Base Rate
        Borrowings, Base Rate Portions, LIBOR Borrowings or LIBOR Portions
        designated by any Borrower.

        2.06. Other Payment Terms.

                (a) Place and Manner.

                        (i) Borrowers shall make all payments due to each Lender
                or Agent by payments to Agent at Agent's New York office located
                at the address specified in Paragraph 8.01, with each such
                payment due to a Lender to be for the account of such Lender and
                such Lender's Lending Office.

                        (ii) Borrowers shall, unless otherwise directed by
                Agent, make all other payments due to each Lender or Agent
                hereunder by payments to Agent's New York office located at the
                address specified in Paragraph 8.01, with each such payment due
                to a Lender to be for the account of such Lender and such
                Lender's Applicable Lending Office.

                        (iii) Borrowers shall make all payments hereunder in the
                lawful Currency required by Subparagraph 2.06(c) and in same day
                or immediately available funds and without deduction or offset
                not later than 11:00 a.m. (California time, in the case of any
                payment to be made to Agent's New York office) and on the date
                due. Agent shall promptly disburse to each Lender each payment
                received by Agent for the account of such Lender.

                (b) Date. Whenever any payment due hereunder shall fall due on a
        day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next
        succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in
        the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be.

                (c) Currency of Payment.

                        (i) Borrowers shall pay principal of, interest on and
                all other amounts related to each Borrowing in the Currency of
                such Borrowing. Borrowers shall pay Commitment Fees and all
                other amounts payable under this Agreement and the other Credit
                Documents in Dollars. If, for any reason, any Borrower is
                prohibited by any Governmental Rule from making any required
                payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, such Borrower
                shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of
                such Alternative Currency amount as determined by Agent.

                        (ii) If any amounts required to be paid by Borrowers
                under this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any order,
                judgment or award given or rendered in relation hereto or
                thereto has to be converted from the currency (the "first
                currency") in which the same is payable hereunder or thereunder
                into another currency (the "second currency") for the purpose of
                (A) making or filing a claim or proof against Borrowers with any
                Governmental Authority, (B) obtaining an order or judgment in
                any court or other tribunal or (C) enforcing any order or
                judgment given or made in relation hereto, Borrowers shall, to
                the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless
                each of the Persons to whom such amounts are payable from and
                against any loss suffered as a result of any discrepancy between
                (1) the rate of exchange used for such purpose to convert the
                amounts in question from the first currency into the second
                currency and (2) the rate or rates of exchange at which such
                Person may, using reasonable efforts in the ordinary course of
                business, purchase the first currency with the second currency
                upon receipt of a sum paid to it in satisfaction, in whole or in
                part, of any such order, judgment, claim or proof. The foregoing
                indemnity shall constitute a separate obligation of Borrowers
                distinct from their other obligations hereunder and shall
                survive the giving or making of any judgment or order in
                relation to all or any of such obligations. The obligations of
                Borrowers under this Subparagraph 2.06(c) shall survive the
                payment and performance of the Obligations and the termination
                of this Agreement.

                (d) Late Payments. If any amount required to be paid by any
        Borrower under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents (including,
        without limitation, principal or interest payable on any Loan, any fees
        or any other amount) remains unpaid after such amount is due, such
        Borrower shall pay interest on the



                                       22
<PAGE>   27

        aggregate, outstanding balance of such amount from the date due until
        such amount is paid in full at a per annum rate equal to (i) in the case
        any amount payable in Dollars, the Base Rate plus two percent (2.00%),
        such rate to change from time to time as the Base Rate shall change, and
        (ii) in the case of any amount payable in an Alternative Currency, the
        Overnight Rate for such amount plus three percent (3.00%), such rate to
        change from time to time as the Overnight Rate shall change.

                (e) Application of Payments. All payments hereunder shall be
        applied first to unpaid fees, costs and expenses then due and payable
        under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, second to accrued
        interest then due and payable under this Agreement or the other Credit
        Documents and finally to reduce the principal amount of outstanding
        Loans.

                (f) Failure to Pay Agent. Unless Agent shall have received
        notice from a Borrower at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date
        on which any payment is due to Lenders hereunder that such Borrower will
        not make such payment in full, Agent shall be entitled to assume that
        such Borrower has made or will make such payment in full to Agent on
        such date and Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be
        paid to the applicable Lenders on such due date an amount equal to the
        amount then due such Lenders. If and to the extent such Borrower shall
        not have so made such payment in full to Agent, each such Lender shall
        repay to Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such
        Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such
        amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays
        such amount to Agent, at a per annum rate equal to (i) the Federal Funds
        Rate for the first three (3) days and the Base Rate thereafter for any
        amount in Dollars or (ii) the Overnight Rate for the first three (3)
        days and the Overnight Rate plus one percent (1%) thereafter for any
        amount in an Alternative Currency. A certificate of Agent submitted to
        any Lender with respect to any amount owing by such Lender under this
        Subparagraph 2.06(f) shall constitute prima facie evidence of such
        amount.

        2.07. Loan Accounts; Notes.

                (a) Loan Accounts. The obligation of each Borrower to repay the
        Loans made to it by each Lender and to pay interest thereon at the rates
        provided herein shall be evidenced by an account or accounts maintained
        by such Lender on its books (individually, a "Loan Account"). Each
        Lender shall record in its Loan Accounts (i) the date, amount and
        currency of each Loan made by such Lender, (ii) the interest rates
        applicable to each such Loan and each Portion thereof and the effective
        dates of all changes thereto, (iii) the Interest Period for each LIBOR
        Loan and LIBOR Portion, (iv) the date and amount of each principal and
        interest payment on each Loan and (v) such other information as such
        Lender may determine is necessary for the computation of principal and
        interest payable to it by each Borrower hereunder; provided, however,
        that any failure by a Lender to make, or any error by any Lender in
        making, any such notation shall not affect Borrowers' Obligations
        hereunder. The Loan Accounts shall constitute prima facie evidence of
        the matters noted therein.

                (b) Notes. If any Lender so requests, (i) such Lender's
        Revolving Loans shall be evidenced by promissory notes in the form of
        Exhibit C(1) (individually, a "Revolving Loan Note") and (ii) such
        Lender's Term Loans shall be evidenced by promissory notes in the form
        of Exhibit C(2) (individually, a "Term Loan Note"), each of which shall
        be (A) payable to the order of such Lender, (B) dated the Closing Date,
        and (C) otherwise appropriately completed.

        2.08. Loan Funding.

                (a) Lender Funding and Disbursements to Borrowers. Each Lender
        shall, before 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date of each Borrowing,
        make available to Agent at Agent's New York office specified in
        Paragraph 8.01, in immediately available funds, such Lender's
        Proportionate Share of such Borrowing. After Agent's receipt of such
        funds and upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in
        Section III, Agent shall promptly disburse such funds to the applicable
        Borrower no later than 1:00 p.m. (California time) in immediately
        available funds. Agent shall disburse the proceeds of each Borrowing as
        directed by the applicable Borrower in the applicable Notice of
        Borrowing.



                                       23
<PAGE>   28

                (b) Lender Failure to Fund. Unless Agent shall have received
        notice from a Lender prior to the date of a Borrowing that such Lender
        will not make available to Agent such Lender's Proportionate Share of
        such Borrowing, Agent shall be entitled to assume that such Lender has
        made or will make such amount available to Agent on the date of such
        Borrowing in accordance with Subparagraph 2.08(a), and Agent may on such
        date, in reliance upon such assumption, disburse or otherwise credit to
        the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. If any Lender does not
        make the amount of its Proportionate Share of a Borrowing available to
        Agent on or prior to the date of such Borrowing, such Lender shall pay
        to Agent, on demand, interest which shall accrue on such amount from the
        date of such Borrowing until such amount is paid to Agent at rates equal
        to (i) the Federal Funds Rate for the first three (3) days and the Base
        Rate thereafter for any amount in Dollars or (ii) the Overnight Rate
        plus one percent (1%) for any amount in an Alternative Currency. A
        certificate of Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amount
        owing by such Lender under this Subparagraph 2.08(b) shall constitute
        prima facie evidence of such amount. If the amount of any Lender's
        Proportionate Share of any Borrowing is not paid to Agent by such Lender
        within three (3) Business Days after the date of such Borrowing, the
        applicable Borrower shall repay such amount to Agent, on demand,
        together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount
        was disbursed to such Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to
        Agent, at the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans
        comprising such Borrowing.

                (c) Lenders' Obligations Several. The failure of any Lender to
        make the Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not
        relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Loan as
        part of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be obligated in any way to
        make any Loan which another Lender has failed or refused to make or
        otherwise be in any way responsible for the failure or refusal of any
        other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender.

        2.09. Pro Rata Treatment.

                (a) Borrowings, Commitment Reductions, Etc. Except as otherwise
        provided herein:

                        (i) Each Borrowing shall be made by Lenders pro rata
                according to their respective Commitments. Each reduction of the
                Total Commitment shall reduce each Lender's Commitment pro rata.

                        (ii) Each payment of principal or interest on Loans in
                any Borrowing shall be shared among Lenders which made or funded
                the Loans in such Borrowing pro rata according to (A) the
                respective unpaid principal amounts of such Loans so made or
                funded by such Lenders and (B) in the case of interest, the
                dates on which such Lenders so made or funded such Loans.

                        (iii) Each payment of Commitment Fees shall be shared
                among Lenders (except for Defaulting Lenders) pro rata according
                to (A) their respective Proportionate Shares and (B) in the case
                of each Lender which becomes a Lender hereunder after the date
                hereof and before the Revolver Termination Date, the date upon
                which such Lender so became a Lender.

                        (iv) Each payment of interest (other than interest on
                Loans) shall be shared among Lenders and Agent owed the amount
                upon which such interest accrues pro rata according to (A) the
                respective amounts so owed such Lenders and Agent and (B) the
                dates on which such amounts became owing to such Lenders and
                Agent.

                        (v) All other payments under this Agreement and the
                other Credit Documents shall be for the benefit of the Person or
                Persons specified.

                (b) Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any
        payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any
        right of setoff, or otherwise) on account of the Loan owed to it as part
        of any Borrowing in excess of its ratable share of payments on account
        of all Loans in such Borrowing obtained by all applicable Lenders
        entitled to such payments, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from
        such other Lenders such participations in their Loans as shall be
        necessary to cause such purchasing Lender



                                       24
<PAGE>   29

        to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided,
        however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter
        recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded
        and each other applicable Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender
        the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an
        amount equal to such other Lender's ratable share (according to the
        proportion of (i) the amount of such other Lender's required repayment
        to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any
        interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in
        respect of the total amount so recovered. Each Borrower agrees that any
        Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to
        this Subparagraph 2.09 (b) may, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
        exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with
        respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct
        creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

        2.10. Change of Circumstances.

                (a) Inability to Obtain Funds, Determine Rates, Etc. If, on or
        before the first day of any Interest Period for any LIBOR Borrowing or
        LIBOR Portion in any currency, Agent shall determine (which
        determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrowers absent
        manifest error) that (i) funds in the currency of such Borrowing or
        Portion are not readily available in the amounts necessary for such
        Borrowing or Portion in the London interbank market, (ii) the LIBO Rate
        for such Interest Period cannot be adequately and reasonably determined
        due to other circumstances affecting the London interbank market, or
        (iii) the rate of interest for such Borrowing or Portion does not
        adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lenders of making or
        maintaining such Borrowing or Portion, Agent shall immediately give
        notice of such condition to the applicable Borrowers and the applicable
        Lenders. After the giving of any such notice and until Agent shall
        otherwise notify the applicable Borrowers that the circumstances giving
        rise to such condition no longer exist, such Borrowers' right to obtain,
        continue or convert to Borrowings or Portions in the affected currency
        shall be suspended. Any LIBOR Borrowings or LIBOR Portions in the
        affected currency outstanding at the commencement of any such suspension
        shall be repaid at the end of the then current Interest Period for such
        Borrowings or Portions unless such suspension has then ended.

                (b) Illegality. If, after the date of this Agreement, the
        adoption of any Governmental Rule, any change in any Governmental Rule
        or the application or requirements thereof (whether such change occurs
        in accordance with the terms of such Governmental Rule as enacted, as a
        result of amendment or otherwise), any change in the interpretation or
        administration of any Governmental Rule by any Governmental Authority,
        or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or
        not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority (a "Change of
        Law") shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to make or
        maintain any LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion in any currency, such Lender
        shall immediately notify Agent and the applicable Borrower of such
        Change of Law. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) such Borrower's right to
        obtain, continue or convert to LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Portions in the
        affected currency shall be suspended until such time as Agent shall
        notify such Borrower and the applicable Lenders that the circumstances
        giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, and (ii) such Borrower
        shall, if so requested by such Lender, immediately repay such LIBOR
        Loans or LIBOR Portions in the affected currency if such Lender shall
        notify such Borrower that such Lender may not lawfully continue to fund
        and maintain such LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Portions. Any prepayment of LIBOR
        Loans or LIBOR Portions made pursuant to the preceding sentence prior to
        the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loans or LIBOR
        Portions shall be deemed a prepayment thereof for purposes of Paragraph
        2.12.

                (c) Increased Costs. If, after the date of this Agreement, any
        Change of Law:

                        (i) Shall subject any Lender to any tax, duty or other
                charge with respect to any LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion, or shall
                change the basis of taxation of payments by any Borrower to any
                such Lender on such a LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion, or in respect
                to such a LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion, under this Agreement
                (except for changes in the rate of taxation on the overall net
                income of such Lender imposed by its jurisdiction of
                incorporation or the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending
                Office); or

                        (ii) Shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve
                (excluding any Reserve Requirement or other reserve to the
                extent included in the calculation of the LIBO Rate for any



                                       25
<PAGE>   30

                Loans or Portions), special deposit or similar requirement
                against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for
                the account of, advances or loans by, or any other acquisition
                of funds by any Lender for any LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion; or

                        (iii) Shall impose on any Lender any other condition
                related to any LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion or such Lender's
                Commitments;

        And the effect of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such
        Lender of making, continuing or maintaining any such LIBOR Loan or LIBOR
        Portion or its Commitments or to reduce any amount receivable by such
        Lender hereunder; then the Borrowers shall from time to time, within ten
        (10) Business Days after demand by such Lender, pay to such Lender
        additional amounts sufficient to reimburse such Lender for such
        increased costs or to compensate such Lender for such reduced amounts;
        provided, however, that Borrowers shall have no obligation to make any
        payment to any demanding party under this Subparagraph 2.10(c) on
        account of any such increased costs or reduced amounts unless Borrowers
        receive notice of such increased costs or reduced amounts from the
        demanding party within twelve (12) months after they are incurred or
        realized. A certificate executed by an officer of the applicable Lender
        setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of such increased costs or
        reduced amounts, submitted by such Lender to Borrowers shall constitute
        prima facie evidence of such costs or amounts. The obligations of
        Borrowers under this Subparagraph 2.10(c) shall survive the payment and
        performance of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

                (d) Capital Requirements. If, after the date of this Agreement,
        any Lender determines that (i) any Change of Law affects the amount of
        capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any
        Person controlling such Lender (a "Capital Adequacy Requirement") and
        (ii) the amount of capital maintained by such Lender or such Person
        which is attributable to or based upon the Loans, the Commitments or
        this Agreement must be increased as a result of such Capital Adequacy
        Requirement (taking into account such Lender's or such Person's policies
        with respect to capital adequacy), Borrowers shall pay to such Lender or
        such Person, within ten (10) Business Days after demand of such Lender,
        such amounts as such Lender or such Person shall determine are necessary
        to compensate such Lender or such Person for the increased costs to such
        Lender or such Person of such increased capital; provided, however, that
        Borrowers shall have no obligation to make any payment to any demanding
        party under this Subparagraph 2.10(d) on account of any such increased
        costs unless Borrowers receive notice of such increased costs from the
        demanding party within twelve (12) months after they are incurred or
        realized. A certificate executed by an officer of the applicable Lender
        setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of such increased costs,
        submitted by any Lender to Borrowers shall constitute prima facie
        evidence of such costs. The obligations of Borrowers under this
        Subparagraph 2.10(d) shall survive the payment and performance of the
        Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

                (e) Mitigation. Any Lender which becomes aware of (i) any Change
        of Law which will make it unlawful or impossible for such Lender to make
        or maintain any LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion or (ii) any Change of Law or
        other event or condition which will obligate Borrowers to pay any amount
        pursuant to Subparagraph 2.10(c) or Subparagraph 2.10(d) shall notify
        Borrowers and Agent thereof as promptly as practical. If any Lender has
        given notice of any such Change of Law or other event or condition and
        thereafter becomes aware that such Change of Law or other event or
        condition has ceased to exist, such Lender shall notify Borrowers and
        Agent thereof as promptly as practical. Each Lender affected by any
        Change of Law which makes it unlawful or impossible for such Lender to
        make or maintain any LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion or to which Borrowers
        are obligated to pay any amount pursuant to Subparagraph 2.10(c) or
        Subparagraph 2.10(d) shall use reasonable commercial efforts (including
        changing the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Offices) to avoid
        the effect of such Change of Law or to avoid or materially reduce any
        amounts which Borrowers are obligated to pay pursuant to Subparagraph
        2.10(c) or Subparagraph 2.10(d) if, in the reasonable opinion of such
        Lender, such efforts would not be disadvantageous to such Lender or
        contrary to such Lender's normal banking practices.



                                       26

        2.11. Taxes on Payments.

                (a) Payments Free of Taxes. All payments made by Borrowers under
        this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be made free and
        clear of, and, except as provided herein, without deduction or
        withholding for or on account of, Non-Excluded Taxes. If any
        Non-Excluded Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable
        to Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Credit Documents,
        the amounts so payable to Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the
        extent necessary to yield to Agent or such Lender (after payment of all
        Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder
        at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement and the other
        Credit Documents. Whenever any Taxes are payable by Borrowers, as
        promptly as possible thereafter, Borrowers shall send to Agent for its
        own account or for the account of such Lender, as the case may be, a
        certified copy of an original official receipt received by Borrowers
        showing payment thereof. If Borrowers fail to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes
        when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to Agent
        the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, Borrowers
        shall indemnify Agent and Lenders for any taxes (including interest or
        penalties) that may become payable by Agent or any Lender as a result of
        any such failure. The obligations of Borrowers under this Subparagraph
        2.11(a) shall survive the payment and performance of the Obligations and
        the termination of this Agreement.

                (b) Withholding Exemption Certificates. Each Borrower may from
        time to time, by written notice to the Agent and each Lender, designate
        an office from which payments under this Agreement shall be made (an
        "Applicable Payment Office"). Each Lender which is not organized under
        the laws of the jurisdiction of a Borrower's Applicable Payment Office
        shall, within sixty (60) days of receipt of any such notice, notify the
        applicable Borrower whether such Lender is entitled to receive payments
        on its Loans under this Agreement from such Borrower's Applicable
        Payment Office for the account of such Lender's Lending Office without
        deduction or withholding of any income taxes imposed by the jurisdiction
        of such Borrower's Applicable Payment Office and deliver to such
        Borrower such certificates and other evidence as such Borrower shall
        reasonably request to establish such fact. Each such Lender further
        agrees (A) promptly to notify the applicable Borrower and Agent of any
        change of circumstances (including any change in any treaty, law or
        regulation) which would prevent such Lender from receiving such payments
        hereunder without any deduction or withholding of such taxes and (B) if
        such Lender is still legally entitled to do so, then on or before the
        date that any certificate or other form delivered by such Lender under
        this Subparagraph 2.11(b) expires, to deliver to such Borrower and Agent
        a new certificate or form, certifying that such Lender is entitled to
        receive such payments under this Agreement without deduction or such
        taxes.

                (c) Mitigation. If Agent or any Lender claims any additional
        amounts to be payable to it pursuant to this Paragraph 2.11, such Person
        shall use reasonable commercial efforts to file any certificate or
        document requested in writing by the applicable Borrower reflecting a
        reduced rate of withholding or to change the jurisdiction of an
        Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a filing or such change
        in the jurisdiction of an Applicable Lending Office would avoid the need
        for or materially reduce the amount of any such additional amounts which
        may thereafter accrue and if, in the reasonable opinion of such Person,
        in the case of a change in the jurisdiction of an Applicable Lending
        Office, such change would not be disadvantageous to such Person or
        contrary to such Person's normal banking practices.

                (d) Tax Returns. Nothing contained in this Paragraph 2.11 shall
        require Agent or any Lender to make available any of its tax returns (or
        any other information relating to its taxes which it deems to be
        confidential).

                (e) Lender Rate Contracts. Nothing contained in this Paragraph
        2.11 shall override or supercede any term or provision of any Lender
        Rate Contract regarding withholding taxes relating to Rate Contracts.

        2.12. Funding Loss Indemnification. If any of the Borrowers shall (a)
repay, prepay or convert any LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion on any day other than
the last day of an Interest Period therefor (whether a scheduled payment, an
optional prepayment or conversion, a mandatory prepayment or conversion, a
payment upon acceleration or otherwise), (b) fail to borrow any LIBOR Loan or
LIBOR Portion after delivering the Notice of



                                       27
<PAGE>   32

        Borrowing therefor to Agent (whether as a result of the failure to
satisfy any applicable conditions or otherwise), (c) fail to convert any Portion
of a Term Loan Borrowing into a LIBOR Portion in accordance with a Notice of
Term Loan Conversion delivered to Agent (whether as a result of the failure to
satisfy any applicable conditions or otherwise) or (d) fail to pay when due any
principal or interest on any LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion, such Borrower shall,
within ten (10) Business Days after demand of such Lender, reimburse such Lender
for and hold such Lender harmless from all reasonable costs and losses incurred
by such Lender as a result of such repayment, prepayment, conversion or failure;
provided, however, that Borrowers shall have no obligation to make any payment
to any demanding party under this Paragraph 2.12 on account of any such costs or
losses unless Borrowers receive notice of such costs or losses from the
demanding party within twelve (12) months after they are incurred or realized.
Borrowers understand that such costs and losses may include, without limitation,
losses incurred by a Lender as a result of funding and other contracts entered
into by such Lender to fund a LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion. Each Lender demanding
payment under this Paragraph 2.12 shall deliver to Borrowers, with a copy to
Agent, a certificate setting forth the amount of costs and losses for which
demand is made, which certificate shall set forth in reasonable detail the
calculation of the amount demanded. Such a certificate so delivered to Borrowers
shall constitute prima facie evidence of such costs and losses. The obligations
of Borrowers under this Paragraph 2.12 shall survive the payment and performance
of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

        2.13. Security.

                (a) Guaranties, Etc. The Obligations shall be secured by the
        following:

                        (i) A Guaranty in the form of Exhibit D (the
                "Guaranty"), duly executed by FIL and all Eligible Material
                Subsidiaries, with such changes thereto as may be appropriate
                based on the law of the applicable jurisdictions; and

                        (ii) A Pledge Agreement or Pledge Agreements, each in
                the form of Exhibit E (individually a "Pledge Agreement"), duly
                executed by FIL and any Subsidiary that directly owns the stock
                of any Ineligible Material Subsidiaries, together with a
                Guaranty executed by any such Subsidiary, with such changes
                thereto as may be appropriate based on the law of the applicable
                jurisdictions;

                        provided, however, that (1) in lieu of providing a

                (b) Changes in Material Subsidiaries.

                        (i) If, at any time after the date of this Agreement,
                any Subsidiary of FIL that is not a Guarantor under the Guaranty
                shall become an Eligible Material Subsidiary, FIL promptly shall
                deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Agent, within sixty (60)
                days of any such event, (A) a Subsidiary Joinder in the form of
                Attachment 1 to the Guaranty, appropriately completed and duly
                executed by such Subsidiary, and (B) such other instruments,
                agreements, certificates, opinions and documents as Agent may
                reasonably request to secure, maintain, protect and evidence the
                obligations of such Subsidiary under the Guaranty.

                        (ii) If, at any time after the date of this Agreement,
                any Subsidiary of FIL that is a Guarantor under the Guaranty
                shall cease to be an Eligible Material Subsidiary, Agent
                promptly shall release such Subsidiary from its obligations
                under the Guaranty, subject to the completion by FIL (and, if
                the Equity Securities of such Subsidiary are owned directly by
                another Subsidiary of FIL, by such other parent Subsidiary) of
                such actions as may be necessary to grant to Agent, to the



                                       28
<PAGE>   33

                extent provided in clause (iii) below, a perfected security
                interest in the Equity Securities of such Subsidiary.

                        (iii) If, at any time after the date of this Agreement,
                any Subsidiary of FIL shall become an Ineligible Material
                Subsidiary, FIL shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to
                Agent, within sixty (60) days of any such event, such
                instruments, agreements, certificates, opinions and documents
                (including Uniform Commercial Code financing statements) as
                Agent may reasonably request to grant, perfect, maintain,
                protect and evidence security interests in favor of Agent, for
                the benefit of Agent and Lenders as security for the
                Obligations, in any and all Equity Securities of such
                Subsidiary, to the extent such security interests are not
                prohibited by any applicable Governmental Rule and would not
                significantly increase the tax liability of FIL and its
                Subsidiaries.

                        (iv) If, at any time after the date of this Agreement,
                any Ineligible Material Subsidiary becomes an Eligible Material
                Subsidiary, upon FIL's compliance with Subparagraph 2.13(b)(i)
                above, Agent shall release the Equity Securities of such
                Subsidiary from any Pledge Agreement previously delivered with
                respect to such Subsidiary.

                (c) Further Assurances. Borrowers shall deliver, and shall cause
        their Subsidiaries to deliver, to Agent such other pledge agreements,
        guaranties, guaranty supplements and other instruments, agreements,
        certificates, opinions and documents (including Uniform Commercial Code
        financing statements) as Agent may reasonably request to implement the
        provisions of Subparagraph 2.13(a) and otherwise to establish, maintain,
        protect and evidence the rights provided to Agent, for the benefit of
        Agents and Lenders, pursuant to the Security Documents. Borrowers shall
        fully cooperate with Agent and Lenders and perform all additional acts
        reasonably requested by Agent or any Lender to effect the purposes of
        this Paragraph 2.13.

        2.14. Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender shall (a) become a
Defaulting Lender more than one (1) time in a period of twelve (12) consecutive
months, (b) continue as a Defaulting Lender for more than three (3) Business
Days at any time, (c) suspend its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Loans or
LIBOR Portions in any currency pursuant to Subparagraph 2.10(b) for a reason
which is not applicable to any other Lender or (d) demand any payment under
Subparagraph 2.10(c), 2.10(d) or 2.10(a) for a reason which is not applicable to
any other Lender, then Agent may (or upon the written request of Borrowers,
shall) replace such Lender (the "affected Lender"), or cause such affected
Lender to be replaced, with another lender (the "replacement Lender") satisfying
the requirements of an Assignee Lender under Subparagraph 8.05(c), by having the
affected Lender sell and assign all of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement and the other Credit Documents to the replacement Lender pursuant to
Subparagraph 8.05(c); provided, however, that if Borrowers seek to exercise such
right, they must do so within sixty (60) days after any Borrower first knows or
should have known of the occurrence of the event or events giving rise to such
right, and neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to identify or
locate a replacement Lender for Borrowers; and provided, further, that no Lender
shall be replaced under this Agreement unless such Lender is also replaced under
the FIUI Credit Agreement. Upon receipt by any affected Lender of a written
notice from Agent stating that Agent is exercising the replacement right set
forth in this Paragraph 2.14, such affected Lender shall sell and assign all of
its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents
to the replacement Lender pursuant to an Assignment Agreement and Subparagraph
8.05(c) for a purchase price equal to the sum of the principal amount of the
affected Lender's Loans so sold and assigned, all accrued and unpaid interest
thereon and its ratable share of all fees to which it is entitled.

                Credit Documents are true and correct in all material respects
                as if made on such date (except for representations and
                warranties expressly made as of a specified date, which shall be

obligations of the applicable Lenders to make Loans to any Designated Borrower
are subject to, on or prior to the date of such designation, the following: (a)

SECTION IV. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

        4.01. Borrowers' Representations and Warranties. In order to induce
Agent and Lenders to enter into this Agreement, Borrowers hereby represent and
warrant to Agent and Lenders as follows:

                (a) Due Incorporation, Qualification, etc. Each of Borrowers and
        their Subsidiaries (i) is a corporation duly organized, validly existing
        and, in any jurisdiction in which such legal concept is applicable, in
        good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization; (ii)
        has the power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and
        carry on its business as now conducted; and (iii) is duly qualified and
        licensed to do business as a foreign corporation or branch in each
        jurisdiction where the failure to be so qualified or licensed is
        reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                (b) Authority. The execution, delivery and performance by each
        of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries of each Credit Document executed, or
        to be executed, by such Person and the consummation of the transactions
        contemplated thereby (i) are within the power of such Person and (ii)
        have been duly authorized by all necessary actions on the part of such
        Person.



                                       30
<PAGE>   35

                (c) Enforceability. Each Credit Document executed, or to be
        executed, by each of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries has been, or will
        be, duly executed and delivered by such Person and constitutes, or will
        constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person,
        enforceable against such Person in accordance with its terms, except as
        limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws of general application
        relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally
        and general principles of equity.

                (d) Non-Contravention. The execution and delivery by each of
        Borrowers and their Subsidiaries of the Credit Documents executed by
        such Person and the performance and consummation of the transactions
        contemplated thereby do not (i) violate any Requirement of Law
        applicable to such Person; (ii) violate any provision of, or result in
        the breach or the acceleration of, or entitle any other Person to
        accelerate (whether after the giving of notice or lapse of time or
        both), any Contractual Obligation of such Person; or (iii) result in the
        creation or imposition of any Lien (or the obligation to create or
        impose any Lien) upon any property, asset or revenue of such Person
        (except such Liens as may be created in favor of Agent pursuant to this
        Agreement or the other Credit Documents).

                (e) Approvals. No consent, approval, order or authorization of,
        or registration, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Authority
        or other Person (including the shareholders of any Person) is required
        in connection with the execution and delivery of the Credit Documents
        executed by Borrowers and their Subsidiaries the performance or
        consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby.

                (f) No Violation or Default. Neither any Borrower nor any of
        their Subsidiaries is in violation of or in default with respect to (i)
        any Requirement of Law applicable to such Person or (ii) any Contractual
        Obligation of such Person (nor is there any waiver in effect which, if
        not in effect, would result in such a violation or default), where, in
        each case, such violation or default is reasonably likely to have a
        Material Adverse Effect. Without limiting the generality of the
        foregoing, neither any Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries (A) has
        violated any Environmental Laws, (B) has any liability under any
        Environmental Laws or (C) has received notice or other communication of
        an investigation or, to the knowledge of any Borrower or its
        Subsidiaries, is under investigation by any Governmental Authority
        having authority to enforce Environmental Laws, where such violation,
        liability or investigation is reasonably and substantially likely to
        have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default has occurred and is
        continuing.

                (g) Litigation. No actions (including derivative actions),
        suits, proceedings or investigations are pending or, to the knowledge of
        any Borrower, threatened against any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
        at law or in equity in any court or before any other Governmental
        Authority which (i) is reasonably and substantially likely (alone or in
        the aggregate) to have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) seeks to
        enjoin, either directly or indirectly, the execution, delivery or
        performance by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of the Credit
        Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.

                (h) Title; Possession Under Leases. Each Borrower and its
        Subsidiaries own and have good and marketable title, or a valid
        leasehold interest in, all their respective properties and assets as
        reflected in the most recent Financial Statements delivered to Agent
        (except those assets and properties disposed of in the ordinary course
        of business or otherwise in compliance with this Agreement since the
        date of such Financial Statements) and all respective assets and
        properties acquired by such Borrower and its Subsidiaries since such
        date (except those disposed of in the ordinary course of business or
        otherwise in compliance with this Agreement). Such assets and properties
        are subject to no Lien, except for Permitted Liens.

                (i) Financial Statements. The Financial Statements of each
        Borrower and its Subsidiaries which have been delivered to Agent, (i)
        are in accordance with the books and records of such Borrower and its
        Subsidiaries, which have been maintained in accordance with good
        business practice; (ii) have been prepared in conformity with GAAP; and
        (iii) fairly present in all material respects the financial conditions
        and results of operations of such Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of
        the date thereof and for the period covered thereby. Neither any
        Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has any Contingent Obligations,
        liability for taxes or other outstanding obligations which are material
        in the aggregate, except as disclosed in the audited Financial
        Statements of such Borrower dated March 31, 1999, furnished by such
        Borrower to



                                       31
<PAGE>   36

        Agent prior to the date hereof, or in the Financial Statements delivered
        to Agent pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of Subparagraph 5.01(a), or
        except as permitted under Section 5 of this Agreement.

                (j) Employee Benefit Plans.

                        (i) Based on the latest valuation of each Employee
                Benefit Plan that any Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate maintains
                or contributes to, or has any obligation under (which occurred
                within twelve months of the date of this representation), the
                aggregate benefit liabilities of such plan within the meaning of
                Section 4001 of ERISA did not exceed the aggregate value of the
                assets of such plan. Neither any Borrower nor any ERISA
                Affiliate has any liability with respect to any post-retirement
                benefit under any Employee Benefit Plan which is a welfare plan
                (as defined in section 3(1) of ERISA), other than liability for
                health plan continuation coverage described in Part 6 of Title
                I(B) of ERISA, which liability for health plan contribution
                coverage is not reasonably and substantially likely to have a
                Material Adverse Effect.

                        (ii) Each Employee Benefit Plan complies, in both form
                and operation, in all material respects, with its terms, ERISA
                and the IRC, and no condition exists or event has occurred with
                respect to any such plan which would result in the incurrence by
                any Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate of any material liability,
                fine or penalty. Each Employee Benefit Plan, related trust
                agreement, arrangement and commitment of any Borrower or any
                ERISA Affiliate is legally valid and binding and in full force
                and effect. No Employee Benefit Plan is being audited or
                investigated by any government agency or is subject to any
                pending or threatened claim or suit. Neither any Borrower nor
                any ERISA Affiliate nor any fiduciary of any Employee Benefit
                Plan has engaged in a prohibited transaction under section 406
                of ERISA or section 4975 of the IRC.

                        (iii) Neither any Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate
                contributes to or has any material contingent obligations to any
                Multiemployer Plan. Neither any Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate
                has incurred any material liability (including secondary
                liability) to any Multiemployer Plan as a result of a complete
                or partial withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan under Section
                4201 of ERISA or as a result of a sale of assets described in
                Section 4204 of ERISA. Neither any Borrower nor any ERISA
                Affiliate has been notified that any Multiemployer Plan is in
                reorganization or insolvent under and within the meaning of
                Section 4241 or Section 4245 of ERISA or that any Multiemployer
                Plan intends to terminate or has been terminated under Section
                4041A of ERISA.

                        (iv) All employer and employee contributions required by
                any applicable Governmental Rule in connection with all Foreign
                Plans have been made, or, if applicable, accrued, in accordance
                with the country-specific accounting practices. The fair market
                value of the assets of each funded Foreign Plan, the liability
                of each insurer for any Foreign Plan funded through insurance or
                the book reserve established for any Foreign Plan, together with
                any accrued contributions, is sufficient to procure or provide
                for the accrued benefit obligations, as of the date hereof, with
                respect to all current and former participants in such Foreign
                Plan according to the actuarial assumptions and valuations most
                recently used to determine employer contributions to such
                Foreign Plan, which actuarial assumptions are commercially
                reasonable. Each Foreign Plan required to be registered has been
                registered and has been maintained in good standing with
                applicable Governmental Authorities. Each Foreign Plan
                reasonably complies in all material respects with all applicable
                Governmental Rules.

                (k) Other Regulations. No Borrower or any Material Subsidiary is
        subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the
        Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, the Federal Power Act, the
        Interstate Commerce Act, any state public utilities code or any other
        Governmental Rule that limits its ability to incur Indebtedness.

                (l) Patent and Other Rights. Each Borrower and its Subsidiaries
        own, license or otherwise have the full right to use, under validly
        existing agreements, without known conflict with any rights of



                                       32
<PAGE>   37

        others, all material patents, licenses, trademarks, trade names, trade
        secrets, service marks, copyrights and all rights with respect thereto,
        which are required to conduct their businesses as now conducted.

                (m) Governmental Charges. Each Borrower and its Subsidiaries
        have filed or caused to be filed all tax returns, reports and
        declarations which are required to be filed by them. Each Borrower and
        its Subsidiaries have paid, or made provision for the payment of, all
        taxes and other Governmental Charges which have or may have become due
        pursuant to said returns or otherwise and all other indebtedness, except
        such Governmental Charges or indebtedness, if any, which are being
        contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves (determined in
        accordance with GAAP) have been provided or which are not reasonably and
        substantially likely to have a Material Adverse Effect if unpaid.

                (n) Margin Stock. No Borrower owns any Margin Stock which, in
        the aggregate, would constitute a substantial part of the assets of such
        Borrower, and no proceeds of any Loan will be used to purchase or carry,
        directly or indirectly, any Margin Stock or to extend credit, directly
        or indirectly, to any Person for the purpose of purchasing or carrying
        any Margin Stock.

                (o) Subsidiaries, Etc. Schedule 4.01(o) (as updated on a
        quarterly basis by Borrower in a written notice to Agent no later than
        the date financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to
        Subparagraph 5.01(a)) sets forth each of FIL's Subsidiaries, its
        jurisdiction of organization, the classes of its Equity Securities, the
        number of shares of each such class issued and outstanding, the
        percentages of shares of each such class owned directly or indirectly by
        FIL and whether FIL owns such shares directly or, if not, the Subsidiary
        of FIL that owns such shares. The only Material Subsidiaries on the date

        Material Subsidiaries is a Subsidiary of FIL.

                (p) Solvency, Etc. Each of the Borrowers and their Material
        Subsidiaries is Solvent and, after the execution and delivery of the
        Credit Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
        thereby, will be Solvent.

                (q) Senior Debt. Borrowers have taken all actions necessary for
        the Obligations to constitute "Designated Senior Debt" for the purposes
        of and as defined in the Subordinated Indenture. Borrowers shall take
        all additional actions that may be necessary for the Obligations to
        continue at all times to constitute "Designated Senior Debt" or
        otherwise to be entitled to all the benefits of any senior debt under
        all Subordinated Indentures.

                (r) No Withholding, Etc. No Borrower or Guarantor is required by
        any Governmental Rule to make any deduction or withholding of any nature
        whatsoever from any payment required to be made by any Borrowers or any
        or Guarantor hereunder or under any other Credit Document. Neither this
        Agreement nor any of the other Credit Documents is subject to any
        registration or stamp tax or any other similar or like taxes payable in
        any jurisdiction.

                (s) Foreign Subsidiaries.

                        (i) No Immunities, etc. Each Foreign Subsidiary that is
                a Borrower or Guarantor is subject to civil and commercial law
                with respect to its obligations under this Agreement and the
                other Credit Documents, and the execution, delivery and
                performance by each such Foreign Subsidiary of this Agreement
                and the other Credit Documents constitute and will constitute
                private and commercial acts and not public or governmental acts.
                Neither such Foreign Subsidiary nor any of its property, whether
                or not held for its own account, has any immunity (sovereign or
                other similar immunity) from any suit or proceeding, from
                jurisdiction of any court or from set-off or any legal process
                (whether service or notice, attachment prior to judgment,
                attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of
                judgment or other similar immunity) under laws of the
                jurisdiction in which such Foreign Subsidiary is organized and
                existing in respect of its obligations



                                       33
<PAGE>   38

                under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Each such
                Foreign Subsidiary has waived every immunity (sovereign or
                otherwise) to which it or any of its properties would otherwise
                be entitled from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from
                jurisdiction of any court and from set-off or any legal process
                (whether service or notice, attachment prior to judgment,
                attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of
                judgment or otherwise) under the laws of the jurisdiction in
                which such Foreign Subsidiary is organized and existing in
                respect of its obligations under this Agreement and the other
                Credit Documents. The waiver by each such Foreign Subsidiary
                described in the immediately preceding sentence is the legal,
                valid and binding obligation of such Foreign Subsidiary.

                        (ii) No Recordation Necessary. This Agreement and each
                of the other Credit Documents executed by a Foreign Subsidiary
                is in proper legal form under the law of the jurisdiction in
                which such Foreign Subsidiary is organized and existing for the
                enforcement hereof or thereof against such Foreign Subsidiary
                under the law of such jurisdiction, and to ensure the legality,
                validity, enforceability, priority or admissibility in evidence
                of this Agreement and such other Credit Documents. It is not
                necessary to ensure the legality, validity, enforceability,
                priority or admissibility in evidence of this Agreement or any
                other Credit Document executed by a Foreign Subsidiary that this
                Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other document be
                filed, registered or recorded with, or executed or notarized
                before, any court or other authority in the jurisdiction in
                which such Foreign Subsidiary is organized and existing or that
                any registration charge or stamp or similar tax be paid on or in
                respect of this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any
                other document, except for any such filing, registration or
                recording, or execution or notarization, as has been made or is
                not required to be made until this Agreement, any other Credit
                Document or any other document is sought to be enforced and for
                any charge or tax as has been timely paid.

                        (iii) Exchange Controls. The execution, delivery and
                performance by each Borrower of this Agreement and each of the
                other Credit Documents executed by a Foreign Subsidiary is,
                under applicable foreign exchange control regulations of the
                jurisdiction in which each such Borrower or Foreign Subsidiary
                is organized and existing, not subject to any notification or
                authorization except (A) such as have been made or obtained or
                (B) such as cannot be made or obtained until a later date
                (provided any notification or authorization described in
                immediately preceding clause (B) shall be made or obtained as
                soon as is reasonably practicable).

                (t) No Material Adverse Effect. No event has occurred and no
        condition exists which is reasonably and substantially likely to have a
        Material Adverse Effect.

                (u) Year 2000 Compliance. All software, hardware, firmware,
        equipment, goods and systems utilized by or material to the business of
        Borrower and the Material Subsidiaries or their financial condition
        properly perform date sensitive functions before, during and after the
        year 2000.

                (v) Accuracy of Information Furnished. The Credit Documents and
        the other certificates, statements and information (excluding
        projections) furnished to Agent or any Lender by or on behalf of
        Borrowers and their Subsidiaries in connection with the Credit Documents
        and the transactions contemplated thereby, taken as a whole, do not
        contain and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact and
        do not omit and will not omit to state a material fact necessary to make
        the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
        were made, not misleading. All projections have been based upon
        reasonable assumptions and represent, as of their respective dates of
        presentations, Borrowers' best estimates of the future performance of
        Borrowers and their Subsidiaries.

        4.02. Reaffirmation. Each Borrower shall be deemed to have reaffirmed,
for the benefit of Lenders and Agent, each representation and warranty contained
in Paragraph 4.01 on and as of the date of each Credit Event (except for
representations and warranties expressly made as of a specified date, which
shall be true as of such date).

                indicating for each such new Material Subsidiary whether such
                Material Subsidiary is an Eligible Material Subsidiary or
                Ineligible Material Subsidiary; and

                        (vii) Such other instruments, agreements, certificates,
                opinions, statements, documents and information relating to the
                operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of such
                Borrower or its Subsidiaries, and compliance by such Borrower
                with the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents
                as Agent may from time to time reasonably request.

        In lieu of furnishing to Agent hard copies of the quarterly Financial
        Statements described in clause (i) above and the annual Financial
        Statements and auditor's report described in clauses (ii)(A) and (ii)(B)
        above, Borrower may make such documents available to Lenders at its
        website located at www.flextronics.com and through the United States
        Securities and Exchange Commission's EDGAR system ("EDGAR") or by
        transmitting such documents electronically to Lenders. The Agent shall
        provide to any Lender hard copies of such documents upon request if such
        Lender does not have access to Borrower's website or EDGAR.

                (b) Books and Records. Each Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall
        at all times keep proper books of record and account which shall be
        complete and correct in all material respects in accordance with GAAP.

                (c) Inspections. Each Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall permit
        Agent and each Lender, or any agent or representative thereof, upon
        reasonable notice and during normal business hours, to visit and inspect
        any of the properties and offices of such Borrower and its Subsidiaries,
        to examine the books and records of such Borrower and its Subsidiaries
        and make copies thereof and to discuss the affairs, finances and
        business of such Borrower and its Subsidiaries with, and to be advised
        as to the same by, their officers, auditors and accountants, all at such
        times and intervals as Agent or any Lender may reasonably request (which
        visits and inspections shall be at the expense of Agent or such Lender
        unless a Default has occurred and is continuing).

                (d) Insurance. Each Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall (i)
        carry and maintain insurance of the types and in the amounts customarily
        carried from time to time during the term of this Agreement by others
        engaged in substantially the same business as such Person and operating
        in the same geographic area as such Person, including fire, public
        liability, property damage and worker's compensation, (ii) carry and
        maintain each policy for such insurance with financially sound insurers
        and (iii) deliver to Agent from time to time, as Agent may request,
        schedules setting forth all insurance then in effect.

                (e) Governmental Charges and Other Indebtedness. Each Borrower
        and its Subsidiaries shall promptly pay and discharge when due (i) all
        taxes and other Governmental Charges prior to the date upon which
        penalties accrue thereon, (ii) all indebtedness which, if unpaid, could
        become a Lien upon the property of such Borrower or its Subsidiaries and
        (iii) subject to any subordination provisions applicable thereto, all
        other Indebtedness, which in each case, if unpaid, is reasonably and
        substantially likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, except such
        Indebtedness as may in good faith be contested or disputed, or for which
        arrangements for deferred payment have been made, provided that in each
        such case appropriate reserves are maintained in accordance with GAAP.

                (f) Use of Proceeds. Each Borrower shall use the proceeds of the
        Loans only for the respective purposes set forth in Section II. No
        Borrower shall use any part of the proceeds of any Loan, directly or
        indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock
        or for the purpose of purchasing or carrying or trading in any
        securities under such circumstances as to involve such Borrower, any
        Lender or Agent in a violation of Regulations T, U or X issued by the
        Federal Reserve Board.

                (g) General Business Operations. Each of the Borrowers and their
        Subsidiaries shall (i) preserve and maintain its corporate existence and
        all of its rights, privileges and franchises reasonably



                                       36
<PAGE>   41

        necessary to the conduct of its business, (ii) conduct its business
        activities in compliance with all Requirements of Law and Contractual
        Obligations applicable to such Person and (iii) keep all property useful
        and necessary in its business in good working order and condition,
        ordinary wear and tear excepted, except, in each case, where any failure
        is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                (h) Pari Passu Ranking. Each Borrower shall take, or cause to be
        taken, all actions necessary to ensure that the Obligations of such
        Borrower are and continue to rank at least pari passu in right of
        payment with all other unsecured and unsubordinated Indebtedness of such
        Borrower.

                (i) Year 2000 Compatibility. Borrowers shall, and shall cause
        the Material Subsidiaries to, take all acts reasonably necessary to
        ensure that all software, hardware, firmware, equipment, goods and
        systems utilized by or material to their business operations or
        financial condition will properly perform date sensitive functions
        before, during and after the year 2000. At the request of Agent,
        Borrowers shall provide to Agent such certifications or other evidence
        of compliance with this Subparagraph 5.01(i) as Agent may from time to
        time require.

        5.02. Negative Covenants. Until the termination of this Agreement and
the satisfaction in full by Borrowers of all Obligations, Borrowers will comply,
and will cause compliance, with the following negative covenants, unless
Required Lenders shall otherwise consent in writing:

                (a) Indebtedness. None of the Borrowers or any of their
        Subsidiaries shall create, incur, assume or permit to exist any
        Indebtedness except for the following ("Permitted Indebtedness"):

                        (i) Indebtedness that is not secured by a Lien in any
                asset or property of any of the Borrowers or any of their
                Subsidiaries;

                        (ii) Capital Leases;

                        (iii) Existing Secured Indebtedness; and

                        (iv) Other Indebtedness that is secured by a Lien in any
                assets or property of any of the Borrowers or any of their
                Subsidiaries, provided that the aggregate principal amount of
                all secured Indebtedness, other than Existing Secured
                Indebtedness, outstanding during any fiscal quarter of FIL does
                not exceed ten percent (10%) of the consolidated assets of FIL

        principal of any Loan or (ii) fail to pay within three (3) Business Days
        after the same becomes due any interest, fee or other payment required
        under the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents;
        or

                (b) Specific Defaults. Any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
        shall fail to observe or perform any covenant, obligation, condition or

        after the earlier of (i) any Borrower's written acknowledgement of such
        failure and (ii) Agent's or any Lender's written notice to Borrowers of
        such failure; or

                (d) Representations and Warranties. Any representation,
        warranty, certificate, information or other statement (financial or
        otherwise) made or furnished by or on behalf of any Borrower to Agent or
        any Lender in or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other
        Credit Documents, or as an inducement to Agent or any Lender to enter
        into this Agreement, shall be false, incorrect, incomplete or misleading
        in



                                       41

        any material respect when made (or deemed made) or furnished and either
        (i) Agent or any Lender has delivered to Borrowers written notice
        thereof and such representation, warranty, certificate, information or
        other statement cannot be remedied or (ii) such representation,
        warranty, certificate, information or other statement continues to be
        false, incorrect, incomplete or misleading in any material respect

        acknowledgement that such representation, warranty, certificate,
        information or other statement was false, incorrect, incomplete or
        misleading in any material respect and (B) Agent's or any Lender's

        certificate, information or other statement was false, incorrect,
        incomplete or misleading in any material respect; or

                (e) Cross-Default. (i) Any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
        shall fail to make any payment on account of any Indebtedness of such
        Person (other than the Obligations) when due (whether at scheduled
        maturity, by required prepayment, upon acceleration or otherwise) and
        such failure shall continue beyond any period of grace provided with
        respect thereto, if the amount of such Indebtedness exceeds $10,000,000
        or the effect of such failure is to cause, or permit the holder or
        holders thereof to cause, Indebtedness of Borrowers and their
        Subsidiaries (other than the Obligations) in an aggregate amount
        exceeding $10,000,000 to become due (whether at scheduled maturity, by
        required prepayment, upon acceleration or otherwise); or (ii) any
        Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall otherwise fail to observe or
        perform any agreement, term or condition contained in any agreement or
        instrument relating to any Indebtedness of such Person (other than the
        Obligations), or any other event shall occur or condition shall exist,
        if the effect of such failure, event or condition is to cause, or permit
        the holder or holders thereof to cause, Indebtedness of Borrowers and
        their Subsidiaries (other than the Obligations) in an aggregate amount
        exceeding $10,000,000 to become due (and/or to be secured by cash
        collateral); or (iii) any Event of Default, as defined in the FIUI
        Credit Agreement, shall occur, without regard to any waiver of such
        Event of Default under the FIUI Credit Agreement; or

                (f) Insolvency, Voluntary Proceedings. Any Borrower or any of
        its Subsidiaries shall (i) apply for or consent to the appointment of a
        receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian of itself or of all or a
        substantial part of its property, (ii) be unable, or admit in writing
        its inability, to pay its debts generally as they mature, (iii) make a

        seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to
        itself or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar
        law now or hereafter in effect or consent to any such relief or to the

        arbitration awards requiring Borrowers and/or their Subsidiaries to pay
        an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or more (exclusive of amounts covered
        by insurance issued by an insurer not an Affiliate of Borrowers and
        otherwise satisfying the requirements set forth in Subparagraph 5.01(d))
        shall be rendered against Borrowers and/or their Subsidiaries in

        or circumstances and the same shall not be satisfied, vacated or stayed
        for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days; (ii) any judgment, writ,

<PAGE>   47

        tax liens or executions or similar processes which, alone or in the
        aggregate, are reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect are
        rendered, issued or levied; or

                (i) Credit Documents. Any Credit Document or any material term
        thereof shall cease to be, or be asserted by any Borrowers or any of its

        terms; or

                (j) Employee Benefit Plans. Any Reportable Event which

continuance of any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default referred to
in Subparagraph 6.01(f) or 6.01(g)), Agent may, with the consent of the Required
Lenders, or shall, upon instructions from the Required Lenders, by written
notice to Borrowers, (a) terminate the Commitments and the obligations of
Lenders to make Loans and/or (b) declare all outstanding Obligations payable by
Borrowers to be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest
or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived,
anything contained herein or in the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding. Upon
the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default described in Subparagraph
6.01(f) or 6.01(g), immediately and without notice, (1) the Commitments and the
obligations of Lenders to make Loans shall automatically terminate and (2) all
outstanding Obligations payable by Borrowers hereunder shall automatically
become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any
other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything
contained herein or in the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding. In addition to
the foregoing remedies, upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of
Default, Agent may exercise any other right, power or remedy available to it
under any of the Credit Documents or otherwise by law, either by suit in equity
or by action at law, or both.

        6.03. Lender Rate Contract Remedies. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Section VI, each Lender or its Affiliate which has entered into a Lender
Rate Contract shall have the right, with prior notice to Agent, but without the
approval or consent of Agent or any other Lender, (a) to declare an event of
default, termination event or other similar event thereunder which will result
in the early termination of such Lender Rate Contract, (b) to determine net
termination amounts in accordance with the terms of such Lender Rate Contract
and to set-off amounts between Lender Rate Contracts of such Lender, and (c) to
prosecute any legal action against any Borrower or its Subsidiaries to enforce
net amounts owing to such Lender or its Affiliate under such Lender Rate
Contracts.


SECTION VII. THE AGENT AND RELATIONS AMONG LENDERS.

        7.01. Appointment, Powers and Immunities. Each Lender hereby appoints
and authorizes Agent to act as its agent hereunder and under the other Credit
Documents with such powers as are expressly delegated to Agent by the terms of
this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, together with such other powers
as are reasonably incidental thereto. Agent shall not have any duties or
responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any
other Credit Document, be a trustee for any Lender or have any fiduciary duty to
any Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein Agent
shall not be required to take any action which is contrary to this Agreement or
any other Credit Document or any applicable Governmental Rule. Neither Agent nor
any Lender shall be responsible to any other Lender for any recitals,
statements, representations or warranties made by any Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries contained in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, for
the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency
of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or for any failure by any
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to perform their respective obligations
hereunder or thereunder. Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall
not be responsible to any Lender



                                       43
<PAGE>   48

for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact
selected by it with reasonable care. Neither Agent nor any of its directors,
officers, employees, agents or advisors shall be responsible to any Lender for
any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any
other Credit Document or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its or
their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Except as otherwise provided
under this Agreement, Agent shall take such action with respect to the Credit
Documents as shall be directed by the Required Lenders.

        7.02. Reliance by Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any
certificate, notice or other document (including any cable, telegram, facsimile
or telex) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have
been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon
advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other
experts selected by Agent with reasonable care. As to any other matters not
expressly provided for by this Agreement, Agent shall not be required to take
any action or exercise any discretion, but shall be required to act or to
refrain from acting upon instructions of the Required Lenders and shall in all
cases be fully protected by Lenders in acting, or in refraining from acting,
hereunder or under any other Credit Document in accordance with the instructions
of the Required Lenders, and such instructions of the Required Lenders and any
action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of
Lenders.

        7.03. Defaults. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of
the occurrence of any Default unless Agent has received a written notice from a
Lender or any Borrower, referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and
stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default". If Agent receives such a
notice of the occurrence of a Default, Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to
Lenders. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default as shall be
reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that until Agent
shall have received such directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to)
take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such
Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of Lenders.

        7.04. Indemnification. Without limiting the Obligations of Borrowers
hereunder, each Lender agrees to indemnify Agent, ratably in accordance with
their Proportionate Shares, for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred
by or asserted against Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this
Agreement or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or
the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the enforcement of any of the
terms hereof or thereof; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for
any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from Agent's gross negligence or
willful misconduct. Agent shall be fully justified in refusing to take or in
continuing to take any action hereunder unless it shall first be indemnified to
its satisfaction by Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may
be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The
obligations of each Lender under this Paragraph 7.04 shall survive the payment
and performance of the Obligations, the termination of this Agreement and any
Lender ceasing to be a party to this Agreement (with respect to events which
occurred prior to the time such Lender ceased to be a Lender hereunder).

        7.05. Non-Reliance. Each Lender represents that it has, independently
and without reliance on Agent, or any other Lender, and based on such documents
and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of the
business, prospects, management, financial condition and affairs of Borrowers
and their Subsidiaries and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and
agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon 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 appraisals and decisions in taking or not
taking action under this Agreement. Neither Agent nor any of its affiliates nor
any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors shall
(a) be required to keep any Lender informed as to the performance or observance
by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of the obligations under this
Agreement or any other document referred to or provided for herein or to make
inquiry of, or to inspect the properties or books of any Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries; (b) have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any
credit or other information concerning any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
which may come into the possession of Agent, except for notices, reports and
other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to Lenders by
Agent hereunder; or (c) be responsible to any Lender for (i) any recital,
statement, representation or warranty made by any Borrower or any officer,
employee or agent of any Borrower in this Agreement or in any of the other
Credit Documents, (ii) the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness,
enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Credit Document, (iii)
the value or sufficiency of the Collateral or the validity or perfection of any
of the liens or security interests intended to be created by the



                                       44
<PAGE>   49

Credit Documents, or (iv) any failure by any Borrower to perform its obligations
under this Agreement or any other Credit Document.

        7.06. Resignation or Removal of Agent. Agent may resign at any time by
giving thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof to Borrowers and Lenders,
and Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required
Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have
the right to appoint a successor Agent, which Agent, if not a Lender, shall be
reasonably acceptable to Borrowers; provided, however, that Borrowers shall have
no right to approve a successor Agent if a Default has occurred and is
continuing. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a
successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become
vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent,
and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from the duties and obligations
thereafter arising hereunder. After any retiring Agent's resignation or removal
hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section VII shall continue in effect
for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it
while it was acting as Agent.

        7.07. Agent in its Individual Capacity. Agent and its affiliates may
make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of banking
or other business with Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and affiliates as though
Agent were not Agent hereunder. With respect to Loans, if any, made by Agent in
its capacity as a Lender, Agent in its capacity as a Lender shall have the same
rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as any
other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent, and the
terms "Lender" or "Lenders" shall include Agent in its capacity as a Lender.

        7.08. Co-Agents. The Co-Agents do not assume any responsibility or
obligation under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or any
duties as agents for the Lenders. The title "Co-Agent" implies no fiduciary
responsibility on the part of any Co-Agent to any Person, and the use of such
title does not impose on any Co-Agent any duties or obligations under this
Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents.


SECTION VIII. MISCELLANEOUS.

        8.01. Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, all notices,
requests, demands, consents, instructions or other communications to or upon any
Borrower, any Lender or Agent under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents

Each Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Term Loan Conversion and Notice of Interest
Period Selection shall be given by the applicable Borrower to Agent's New York
office at the address referred to above during such office's normal business
hours; provided, however, that any such notice received by Agent after 11:00
a.m. (California time) on any Business Day shall be deemed received by Agent on
the next Business Day. In any case where this Agreement authorizes notices,
requests, demands or other communications by Borrowers to Agent or any Lender to
be made by telephone or facsimile, Agent or any Lender may conclusively presume
that anyone purporting to be a person designated in any incumbency certificate
or other similar document received by Agent or a Lender is such a person.

        8.02. Expenses. Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay on demand,
whether or not any Loan is made hereunder, (a) all reasonable fees and expenses,
including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, incurred by Agent in
connection with the syndication of the Loans, the preparation, negotiation,
execution and delivery of, and the exercise of its duties under, this Agreement
and the other Credit Documents, and the preparation, negotiation, execution and
delivery of amendments and waivers hereunder and thereunder and (b) all
reasonable fees and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses,
incurred by Agent and Lenders in the enforcement or attempted enforcement of any
of the Obligations or in preserving any of Agent's or Lenders' rights and
remedies (including, without limitation, all such fees and expenses incurred in
connection with any "workout" or restructuring affecting the Credit Documents or
the Obligations or any bankruptcy or similar proceeding involving any Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries). As used herein, the term "reasonable attorneys'
fees and expenses" shall include, without limitation, allocable costs and
expenses of Agent's and Lenders' in-house legal counsel and staff. The
obligations of Borrowers under this Paragraph 8.02 shall survive the payment and
performance of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

        8.03. Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrowers
jointly and severally agree to protect, indemnify, defend and hold harmless
Agent, Lenders and their Affiliates and their respective directors, officers,
employees, agents and advisors ("Indemnitees") from and against any and all
liabilities, losses, damages or expenses of any kind or nature and from any
suits, claims or demands (including in respect of or for reasonable attorney's
fees and other expenses) arising on account of or in connection with any matter
or thing or action or failure to act by Indemnitees, or any of them, arising out
of or relating to the Credit Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby,
including without limitation any use by any Borrower of any proceeds of the
Loans, except to the extent such liability arises from the willful misconduct or
gross negligence of such Indemnitee. Upon receiving knowledge of any suit, claim
or demand asserted by a third party that Agent or any Lender believes is covered
by this indemnity, Agent or such Lender shall give Borrowers notice of the
matter and an opportunity to defend it, at Borrowers' sole cost and expense,
with legal counsel satisfactory to Agent or such Lender, as the case may be.
Agent or such Lender may also require Borrowers to defend the matter. Any
failure or delay of Agent or any Lender to notify Borrowers of any such suit,
claim or demand shall not relieve Borrowers of their obligations under this
Paragraph 8.03 but shall reduce such obligations to the extent of any increase
in those obligations caused solely by any such failure or delay which is
unreasonable. The obligations of Borrowers under this Paragraph 8.03 shall
survive the payment and performance of the Obligations and the termination of
this Agreement.

        8.04. Waivers; Amendments. Any term, covenant, agreement or condition of
this Agreement or any other Credit Document may be amended or waived, and any
consent under this Agreement or any other Credit Document may be given, if such
amendment, waiver or consent is in writing and is signed by Borrowers and the
Required Lenders (or Agent on behalf of the Required Lenders with the written
approval of the Required Lenders); provided, however that:

                (a) Any amendment, waiver or consent which would (i) extend the
        Revolver Termination Date or Term Loan Maturity Date, (ii) reduce any
        fees or other amounts payable for the account of all Lenders hereunder
        or extend the scheduled date for payment of any such fees or amounts,
        (iii) amend this Paragraph 8.04, (iv) amend the definition of Required
        Lenders or (v) release any substantial part of the Collateral or any
        Guarantor (except for releases as provided in Paragraph 2.13), must be
        in writing and signed or approved in writing by all Lenders;

                (b) Any amendment, waiver or consent which would (i) reduce the
        principal of or interest on the Loans or any fees or other amounts
        payable for the account of all Lenders hereunder or extend the scheduled
        date for payment of any such principal, interest, fees or amounts or
        (ii) amend the definition of Required Lenders, must be in writing and
        signed or approved in writing by all Lenders;

                (c) Any amendment, waiver or consent which would increase or
        decrease the Commitment of any Lender (except for a pro rata decrease in
        the Commitments of all Lenders) must be in writing and signed by such
        Lender; and

                (d) Any amendment, waiver or consent which affects the rights or
        obligations of Agent must be in writing and signed by Agent.

No failure or delay by Agent or any Lender in exercising any right under this
Agreement or any other Credit Document shall operate as a waiver thereof or of
any other right hereunder or thereunder nor shall any single or partial exercise
of any such right preclude any other further exercise thereof or of any other
right hereunder or thereunder. Unless otherwise specified in such waiver or
consent, a waiver or consent given hereunder shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

        8.05. Successors and Assigns.

                (a) Binding Effect. This Agreement and the other Credit
        Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrowers,
        Lenders, Agent, all future holders of the Notes and their respective
        successors and permitted assigns, except that any Borrower may not
        assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under any Credit
        Document without the prior written consent of Agent and each Lender.

                (b) Participations. Any Lender may at any time sell to one or
        more banks or other financial institutions ("Participants")
        participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held
        by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of
        such Lender under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. In the
        event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests, such
        Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such
        Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such
        Lender shall remain the holder of its Notes for all purposes under this
        Agreement and Borrowers and Agent shall continue to deal solely and
        directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and
        obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any
        such sale is effected may require the selling Lender to obtain the
        consent of the Participant in order for such Lender to agree in writing
        to any amendment, waiver or consent of a type specified in clause
        (a)(i), (a)(ii), (b)(i) or (c)(i) or Subparagraph (d) of Paragraph 8.04
        but may not otherwise require the selling Lender to obtain the consent
        of such Participant to any other amendment, waiver or consent hereunder.
        Borrowers also agree that any Lender which has transferred any
        participating interest in its Commitments or Loans shall,
        notwithstanding any such transfer, be entitled to the full benefits
        accorded such Lender under Paragraph 2.10, Paragraph 2.11, and Paragraph
        2.13, as if such Lender had not made such transfer.

                (c) Assignments. Any Lender may, at any time, sell and assign to
        any other Lender or any Eligible Assignee (individually, an "Assignee
        Lender") all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this
        Agreement and the other Credit Documents (such a sale and assignment to
        be referred to herein as an "Assignment") pursuant to an assignment
        agreement in the form of Exhibit F (an "Assignment Agreement"), executed
        by each Assignee Lender and such assignor Lender (an "Assignor Lender")
        and delivered to Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register;
        provided, however, that:

                        (i) Without the written consent of Agent and, if no
                Default has occurred and is continuing, FIL (which consent of
                Agent and FIL shall not be unreasonably withheld), no Lender may
                make any Assignment of its Commitment or Loans to any Assignee
                Lender which is not, immediately prior to such Assignment, a
                Lender hereunder or an Affiliate thereof;

                        (ii) Without the written consent of Agent and, if no
                Default has occurred and is continuing, FIL (which consent of
                Agent and FIL shall not be unreasonably withheld), no Lender may
                make any Assignment of its Commitment or Loans to any Assignee
                Lender if, after giving effect to such Assignment, the
                Commitment or Term Loans of such Lender or such Assignee Lender
                would be less than Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) or the
                Dollar Equivalent thereof (except that a Lender may make an
                Assignment which reduces its Commitment or Term Loans to zero
                without the written consent of FIL and Agent);

                        (iii) Without the written consent of Agent and, if no
                Default has occurred and is continuing, FIL (which consent of
                Agent and FIL shall not be unreasonably withheld), no Lender may
                make any Assignment of its Commitment or Loans which does not
                assign and delegate an equal pro rata interest in all rights,
                duties and obligations of such Lender under this Agreement and
                the other Credit Documents; and

                        (iv) Any Assignor Lender which is, or which has an
                Affiliate which is, a party to a Lender Rate Contract may not
                make an Assignment of all of its Commitments or all of its Loans
                to an Assignee Lender unless such Assignee Lender or its
                Affiliate shall also assume all obligations of such Assignor
                Lender or its Affiliate with respect to such Lender Rate
                Contract.

        Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording of each
        Assignment Agreement, from and after the Assignment Effective Date
        determined pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, (A) each Assignee
        Lender thereunder shall be a Lender hereunder with Commitments or Loans
        as set forth on Attachment 1 to such Assignment Agreement (under the
        caption "Commitments or Loans After Assignment") and shall have the
        rights, duties and obligations of such a Lender under this Agreement and
        the other Credit Documents, and (B) the Assignor Lender thereunder shall
        be a Lender with Commitments or Loans as set forth on Attachment 1 to
        such Assignment Agreement (under the caption "Commitments or Loans After
        Assignment"), or, if the Commitments or Loans of the Assignor Lender
        have been reduced to zero, the Assignor Lender shall cease to be a
        Lender and to have any obligation to make any Loan; provided, however,
        that any such Assignor Lender which ceases to be a Lender shall continue
        to be entitled to the benefits of any provision of this Agreement which
        by its terms survives the termination of this Agreement. Each Assignment
        Agreement shall be deemed to amend Schedule I to the extent, and only to
        the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of each Assignee Lender,
        the deletion of each Assignor Lender which reduces its Commitments or
        Loans to zero, and the resulting adjustment of Commitments or Loans
        arising from the purchase by each Assignee Lender of all or a portion of
        the rights and obligations of an Assignor Lender under this Agreement
        and the other Credit Documents. On or prior to the Assignment Effective
        Date determined pursuant to each Assignment Agreement, Borrowers, at
        their own expense, shall, if requested by Assignee Lenders, execute and
        deliver to Agent, in exchange for the surrendered Notes, if any, of the
        Assignor Lender thereunder, new Notes to the order of each Assignee
        Lender thereunder and, if the Assignor Lender is continuing as a Lender
        hereunder, new Notes to the order of the Assignor Lender. The Notes
        surrendered by the Assignor Lender shall be returned by Agent to
        Borrowers marked "replaced". Each Assignee Lender which becomes a Lender
        and was not previously such a Lender hereunder shall, prior to becoming
        such a Lender, deliver such certificates and other evidence as is
        required by Subparagraph 2.11(b).

                (d) Register. Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in
        Paragraph 8.01 a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a
        register (the "Register") for the recordation of the names and addresses
        of Lenders and the Commitments or Loans of each Lender from time to
        time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive in the absence of
        manifest error, and Borrowers, Agent and Lenders may treat each Person
        whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Commitments
        or Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. The
        Register shall be available for inspection by any Borrower or any Lender
        at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
        notice.

                (e) Registration. Upon its receipt of an Assignment Agreement
        executed by an Assignor Lender and an Assignee Lender (and, to the
        extent required by Subparagraph 8.05(c), by Borrowers and Agent)
        together with payment to Agent by Assignor Lender of a registration and
        processing fee of $3,000, Agent shall (i) promptly accept such
        Assignment Agreement and (ii) on the Effective Date determined pursuant
        thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and
        give notice of such acceptance and recordation to Lenders and Borrowers.
        Agent may, from time to time at its election, prepare and deliver to
        Lenders and Borrowers a revised Schedule I reflecting the names,
        addresses and respective Commitments or Loans of all Lenders then
        parties hereto.

                (f) Confidentiality. Subject to Paragraph 8.12, Agent and
        Lenders may disclose the Credit Documents and any financial or other
        information relating to Borrowers or any Subsidiary to each other or to
        any potential Participant or Assignee Lender.

                (g) Pledges to Federal Reserve Banks. Notwithstanding any other
        provision of this Agreement, any Lender may at any time assign all or a
        portion of its rights under this Agreement and the other Credit
        Documents to a Federal Reserve Bank. No such assignment shall relieve
        the assigning Lender from its obligations under this Agreement and the
        other Credit Documents.

        8.06. Setoff; Security Interest.

                (a) Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of Lenders
        provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, with the prior
        consent of Agent but without prior notice to or consent of Borrowers,
        any such notice and consent being expressly waived by Borrowers to the
        extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence and during the
        continuance of an Event of Default, to set-off and apply against the
        Obligations of any Borrower any amount owing from such Lender to such
        Borrower. The aforesaid right of set-off may be exercised by such Lender
        against a Borrower or against any trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in
        possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver or
        execution, judgment or attachment creditor of such Borrower or against
        anyone else claiming through or against such Borrower or such trustee in
        bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors,
        receiver, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor, notwithstanding
        the fact that such right of set-off may not have been exercised by such
        Lender at any prior time. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the
        applicable Borrower after any such set-off and application made by such
        Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect
        the validity of such set-off and application.

                (b) Security Interest. As security for the Obligations, each
        Borrower hereby grants to Agent and each Lender, for the benefit of all
        Lenders, a continuing security interest in any and all deposit accounts
        or moneys of such Borrower now or hereafter maintained with such Lender.
        Each Lender shall have all of the rights of a secured party with respect
        to such security interest.

        8.07. No Third Party Rights. Nothing expressed in or to be implied from
this Agreement is intended to give, or shall be construed to give, any Person,
other than the parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns
hereunder, any benefit or legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by
virtue of this Agreement or under or by virtue of any provision herein.

        8.08. Partial Invalidity. If at any time any provision of this Agreement
is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the law or
any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the
remaining provisions of this Agreement nor the legality, validity or
enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction shall
in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

<PAGE>   54

        8.09. Jury Trial. EACH OF BORROWERS, LENDERS AND AGENT, TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL
BY JURY AS TO ANY ISSUE RELATING HERETO IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR
COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY CREDIT DOCUMENT.

        8.10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
identical counterparts, any set of which signed by all the parties hereto shall
be deemed to constitute a complete, executed original for all purposes.

        8.11. Borrowers' Liabilities. All Borrowers are jointly and severally
liable for the payment and performance of all other Obligations under this
Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and Borrowers also are liable for the
payment and performance of all Obligations under this Agreement and the other
Credit Documents as provided in the Guaranty.

        8.12. Confidentiality. Neither any Lender nor Agent shall disclose to
any Person any information with respect to Borrowers or any of their
Subsidiaries which is furnished pursuant to this Agreement or under the other
Credit Documents, except that any Lender or Agent may disclose any such
information (a) to its own directors, officers, employees, auditors, counsel and
other advisors and to its Affiliates; (b) to any other Lender or Agent; (c)
which is otherwise available to the public; (d) if required or appropriate in
any report, statement or testimony submitted to any Governmental Authority
having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lender or Agent; (e) if
required in response to any summons or subpoena; (f) in connection with any
enforcement by Lenders and Agent of their rights under this Agreement or the
other Credit Documents or any litigation among the parties relating to the
Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby; (g) to comply with
any Requirement of Law applicable to such Lender or Agent; (h) to any Assignee
Lender or Participant or any prospective Assignee Lender or Participant,
provided that such Assignee Lender or Participant or prospective Assignee Lender
or Participant agrees to be bound by this Paragraph 8.12; or (i) otherwise with
the prior consent of the applicable Borrower; provided, however, that (i) any
Lender or Agent served with any summons or subpoena demanding the disclosure of
any such information shall use reasonable efforts to notify Borrowers promptly
of such summons or subpoena if not prohibited by any Requirement of Law and, if
requested by Borrowers and not disadvantageous to such Lender or Agent, to
cooperate with Borrowers in obtaining a protective order restricting such
disclosure, and (ii) any disclosure made in violation of this Agreement shall
not affect the obligations of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries under this
Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

        8.13. Consent to Jurisdiction. Each Borrower irrevocably submits to the
non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of California and the
courts of the United States of America located in the Northern District of
California and agrees that any legal action, suit or proceeding arising out of
or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents may be
brought against such party in any such courts. Final judgment against any
Borrower in any such action, suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be
enforced in any other jurisdiction by suit on the judgment, a certified or
exemplified copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the judgment, or in
any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Subparagraph 8.13 shall affect
the right of Agent or any Lender to commence legal proceedings or otherwise sue
any Borrower in any other appropriate jurisdiction, or concurrently in more than
one jurisdiction, or to serve process, pleadings and other papers upon any
Borrower in any manner authorized by the laws of any such jurisdiction. Each
Borrower agrees that process served either personally or by registered mail
shall, to the extent permitted by law, constitute adequate service of process in
any such suit. Without limiting the foregoing, each Borrower hereby appoints, in
the case of any such action or proceeding brought in the courts of or in the
State of California, CT Corporation, with offices on the date hereof at 818 West
Seventh Street, Los Angeles, California 90017, to receive for it and on its
behalf, service of process in the State of California with respect thereto,
provided each Borrower may appoint any other person, reasonably acceptable to
Agent, with offices in the State of California to replace such agent for service
of process upon delivery to Agent of a reasonably acceptable agreement of such
new agent agreeing so to act. Each Borrower irrevocably waives to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law (a) any objection which it may have now or in
the future to the laying of the venue of any such action, suit or proceeding in
any court referred to in the first sentence above; (b) any claim that any such
action, suit or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum; (c) its
right of removal of any matter commenced by any other party in the courts of the
State of California to any court of the United States of America; (d) any
immunity which it or its assets may have in respect of its obligations under
this Agreement or any other Credit Document from any suit, execution, attachment
(whether provisional or final, in aid of execution, before judgment or
otherwise) or other legal process; and (e) any right it may have to require the
moving party in any suit,



                                       50
<PAGE>   55

action or proceeding brought in any of the courts referred to above arising out
of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document to post
security for the costs of such Borrower or to post a bond or to take similar
action.

        8.14. Usury. In no event shall any provision of this Agreement or any
other Credit Document ever obligate any Borrower to pay or allow any Lender to
collect interest on any Loan or any other Obligation of a Borrower hereunder at
a rate greater than the maximum non-usurious rate permitted by applicable law
(herein referred to as the "highest lawful rate"), or obligate any Borrower to
pay any taxes, assessments, charges, insurance premiums or other amounts to the
extent that such payments, when added to the interest payable on the Loans or
any other Obligations, would be held to constitute the payment by a Borrower of
interest at a rate greater than the highest lawful rate. This provision shall
control over any provision to the contrary. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, in the event the maturity of all or any part of the principal
amount of the Obligations of a Borrower shall be accelerated for any reason,
then such principal amount so accelerated shall be credited with any interest
theretofore paid thereon in advance and remaining unearned at the time of such
acceleration. If, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, any funds are applied
to the payment of any part of the principal amount of the Obligations of a
Borrower prior to the maturity thereof, then (a) any interest which would
otherwise thereafter accrue on the principal amount so paid by such application
shall be canceled, and (b) the Obligations of such Borrower remaining unpaid
after such application shall be credited with the amount of all interest, if
any, theretofore collected on the principal amount so paid by such application
and remaining unearned at the date of said application; and if the funds so
applied shall be sufficient to pay in full all the Obligations of such Borrower,
then the Lenders shall refund to such Borrower all interest theretofore paid
thereon in advance and remaining unearned at the time of such acceleration.
Regardless of any other provision in this Agreement or any other Credit
Document, no Borrower shall be required to pay any unearned interest on any
Obligations or any portion thereof, or be required to pay interest thereon at a
rate in excess of the highest lawful rate construed by courts having competent
jurisdiction thereof.

        8.15. Hong Kong Branch; Full Recourse Obligations. All Loans to FIL
shall be made to FIL at its Hong Kong branch located at Room 908 Dominion
Center, 43-59 Queens Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong and all payments of principal
and interest by FIL will be made through its Hong Kong branch, provided,
however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, FIL acknowledges that the
Obligations hereunder are full recourse to Flextronics International Ltd., a
Singapore corporation, and are in no manner limited to any extent to any branch
thereof and shall in no manner impair the Agent's or any Lender's ability to
collect any Obligation from FIL.

note is subject to certain restrictions contained in the Credit Agreement,
including Paragraph 8.05 thereof.

        are hereby incorporated by reference. Each Guarantor acknowledges
        receipt of copies of the Credit Agreement and the other Credit
        Documents.

        2. GUARANTY.

               (a)Payment Guaranty. Each Guarantor unconditionally guarantees
        and promises to pay and perform as and when due, whether at stated
        maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, any and all of the Guaranteed
        Obligations. If any Debtor Relief Proceeding relating to any Borrower is
        commenced, each Guarantor further unconditionally guarantees and
        promises to pay and perform, upon the demand of Agent, any and all of
        the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Disallowed
        Post-Commencement Interest and Expenses) in accordance with the terms of
        the Credit Documents, whether or not such obligations are then due and
        payable by any Guarantor and whether or not such obligations are
        modified, reduced or discharged in such Debtor Relief Proceeding. This
        Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection.

               (b)Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is an irrevocable
        continuing guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations which shall continue
        in effect until all obligations of Lenders to extend credit to all
        Borrowers have terminated and all of the Guaranteed Obligations have
        been fully paid. If any payment on any Guaranteed Obligation is set
        aside, avoided or rescinded or otherwise recovered from Agent or any
        Lender, such recovered payment shall constitute a Guaranteed Obligation
        hereunder and, if this Guaranty was previously released or terminated,
        it automatically shall be fully reinstated, as if such payment was never
        made.

               (c)Joint, Several and Independent Obligations. The liability of
        each Guarantor hereunder is joint and several and is independent of the
        Guaranteed Obligations. A separate action or actions may be brought and
        prosecuted against each Guarantor for the full amount of the Guaranteed
        Obligations irrespective of whether action is brought against any
        Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed
        Obligations or whether any Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other
        guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations is joined in any such action or
        actions.

               (d)Fraudulent Transfer Limitation. If, in any action to enforce
        this Guaranty, any court of competent jurisdiction determines that
        enforcement against any Guarantor for the full amount of the Guaranteed
        Obligations is not lawful under or would be subject to avoidance under
        Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any applicable
        provision of any comparable law of any state or other jurisdiction, the
        liability of such Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be limited to the
        maximum amount lawful and not subject to such avoidance.

               (e)Termination. Notwithstanding any termination of this Guaranty
        in accordance with Paragraph 3 hereof, this Guaranty shall continue to
        be in full force and effect and applicable to any Guaranteed Obligations
        arising thereafter which arise because prior payments of Guaranteed
        Obligations are rescinded or otherwise required to be surrendered by
        Agent or any Lender after receipt.

        3. AUTHORIZATIONS, WAIVERS, ETC.

               other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security,

               Obligations; and

                      (v) Assign the Guaranteed Obligations, this Guaranty or
               the other Credit Documents in whole or in part to the extent
               provided in the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

               (b)Waivers. Each Guarantor hereby waives:

                      (i) Any right to require Agent or any Lender to (A)
               proceed against any Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other
               guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, (B) proceed against or
               exhaust any security received from any Borrower, such Guarantor,
               any other Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed
               Obligations or otherwise marshal the assets of any Borrower, such
               Guarantor, any other Guarantor or any other guarantor of the
               Guaranteed Obligations or (C) pursue any other remedy in Agent's
               or any Lender's power whatsoever;

                      (ii) Any defense arising by reason of the application by

                      (iii) Any defense resulting from the absence, impairment
               or loss of any right of reimbursement, subrogation, contribution
               or other right or remedy of Guarantor against any Borrower, any
               other Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed
               Obligations or any security, whether resulting from an election
               by Agent or any Lender to foreclose upon security by nonjudicial
               sale, or otherwise;

                      (iv) Any setoff or counterclaim of any Borrower or any
               defense which results from any disability or other defense of any
               Borrower or the cessation or stay of enforcement from any cause
               whatsoever of the liability of any Borrower (including, without
               limitation, the lack of validity or enforceability of any of the
               Credit Documents);

                      (v) Any defense based upon any law, rule or regulation
               which provides that the obligation of a surety must not be
               greater or more burdensome than the obligation of the principal;

               benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security now or

                      (xi) Until all obligations of Agent or any Lender to
               extend credit to any Borrower have terminated and all of the
               Guaranteed Obligations have been fully paid, any right to revoke
               this Guaranty;

                      (xii) Any defense arising from an election for the
               application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy
               Code which applies to the Guaranteed Obligations;

                      (xiii) Any defense based upon any borrowing or grant of a
               security interest under Section 364 of the United States
               Bankruptcy Code; and

                      (xiv) Any right it may have to a fair value hearing to
               determine the size of a deficiency judgment following any
               foreclosure on any security for the Guaranteed Obligations.

        Without limiting the scope of any of the foregoing provisions of this
        Paragraph 3, each Guarantor hereby further waives (A) all rights and
        defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Agent or any Lender,
        even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure
        with respect to security for a Guaranteed Obligation, has destroyed such
        Guarantor's rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any Borrower
        by the operation of Section 580d of the Code of Civil Procedure or
        otherwise, (B) all rights and defenses such Guarantor may have by reason
        of protection afforded to any Borrower with respect to the Guaranteed
        Obligations pursuant to the antideficiency or other laws of California
        limiting or discharging the Guaranteed Obligations, including, without
        limitation, Section 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of
        Civil Procedure, and (C) all other rights and defenses available to such
        Guarantor by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, Section 2899 or
        Section 3433 of the California Civil Code or Section 3605 of the
        California Commercial Code.

               (c)The Mexican Guarantor hereby expressly agrees that any rights
        or privileges that it might have under the laws of Mexico shall not be
        applicable to this Guaranty, including, but not limited to, any benefit
        of "orden," "excusion," "division," "quita," "novacion," "prorroga,"
        "espera" or "modificacion," provided in Articles 2813, 2814, 2816, 2817,
        2818, 2820, 2821, 2822, 2823, 2827, 2836, 2840, 2842, 2844, 2845, 2846,
        2847, 2848, and 2849 of the Civil Code of the Federal District of Mexico
        and the corresponding articles of the Civil Codes in all States of the
        United Mexican States ("Mexico"), which are not reproduced herein by
        express declaration that the contents of such articles are known to the
        Mexican Guarantor.

               (d)Financial Condition of Borrowers, Etc. Each Guarantor is fully
        aware of the financial condition and affairs of each Borrower. Each
        Guarantor has executed this Guaranty without reliance upon any
        representation, warranty, statement or information concerning any
        Borrower furnished to such Guarantor by Agent or any Lender and has,
        independently and without reliance on Agent or any Lender, and based on
        such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its
        own appraisal of the financial condition and affairs of each Borrower
        and of other circumstances affecting the risk of nonpayment or
        nonperformance of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor is in a
        position to obtain, and assumes full responsibility for obtaining, any
        additional information about the financial condition and affairs of each
        Borrower and of other circumstances affecting the risk of nonpayment or
        nonperformance of the Guaranteed Obligations and will, independently and
        without reliance upon Agent or any Lender, and based on such documents
        and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to
        make its own appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action in
        connection with this Guaranty.

        4. SUBORDINATION. Each Guarantor hereby subordinates any and all debts,
liabilities and obligations owed to such Guarantor by each Borrower (the
"Subordinated Obligations") to the Guaranteed Obligations as provided in this
Paragraph 4.

               (a)Prohibited Payments, Etc. Except during the continuance of a
        Default (including the commencement and continuation of any Debtor
        Relief Proceeding relating to any Borrower), each Guarantor may receive
        regularly scheduled payments from any Borrower on account of
        Subordinated Obligations. After the occurrence and during the
        continuance of any Default (including the commencement and continuation
        of any Debtor Relief Proceeding relating to any Borrower), however,
        unless Agent otherwise agrees, no Guarantor shall demand, accept or take
        any action to collect any payment on account of the Subordinated
        Obligations.

               (b)Prior Payment of Guaranteed Obligations. In any Debtor Relief
        Proceeding relating to any Borrower, each Guarantor agrees that Agent
        and Lenders shall be entitled to receive payment of all Guaranteed
        Obligations (including any and all Disallowed Post-Commencement Interest
        and Expenses) before such Guarantor receives payment of any Subordinated
        Obligations.

               (c)Turn-Over. After the occurrence and during the continuance of
        any Default (including the commencement and continuation of any Debtor
        Relief Proceeding relating to any Borrower), each Guarantor shall, if
        Agent so requests, collect, enforce and receive payments on account of
        the Subordinated Obligations as trustee for Agent and Lenders and
        deliver such payments to Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations
        (including any and all Disallowed Post-Commencement Interest and
        Expenses), together with any necessary endorsements or other instruments
        of transfer, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the
        liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty.

               (d)Agent Authorization. After the occurrence and during the
        continuance of any Default (including the commencement and continuation
        of any Debtor Relief Proceeding relating to any Borrower), Agent is
        authorized and empowered (but without any obligation to so do), in its
        discretion, (i) in the name of each Guarantor, to collect and enforce,
        and to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated Obligations and to
        apply any amounts received thereon to the Guaranteed Obligations
        (including any and all Disallowed Post-Commencement Interest and
        Expenses), and (ii) to require each Guarantor (A) to collect and
        enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated Obligations
        and (B) to pay any amounts received on such obligations to Agent for
        application to the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all
        Disallowed Post-Commencement Interest and Expenses).

        5. CONTRIBUTION AMONG GUARANTORS. Guarantors desire to allocate among
themselves, in a fair and equitable manner, their rights of contribution from
each other when any payment is made by any Guarantor under this Guaranty.
Accordingly, if any payment is made by any Guarantor under this Guaranty (a
"Funding Guarantor") that exceeds its Fair Share, the Funding Guarantor shall be
entitled to a contribution from each other Guarantor in the amount of such other
Guarantor's Fair Share Shortfall, so that all such contributions shall cause
each Guarantor's Aggregate Guaranty Payments to equal its Fair Share. The
amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined by the Funding
Guarantor as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by
the Funding Guarantor, and such determination shall be binding on the other
Guarantors absent manifest error. The


                                       6
<PAGE>   91

allocation and right of contribution among Guarantors set forth in this
Paragraph 5 shall not be construed to limit in any way the liability of any
Guarantor under this Guaranty or the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations.

        6. MISCELLANEOUS.

               (a)Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, all notices,
        requests, demands, consents, instructions or other communications to or
        upon any Guarantor or Agent under this Guaranty or the other Credit
        Documents shall be in writing and faxed, mailed or delivered, if to
        Agent, at its facsimile number or address set forth below, or, if to any
        Guarantor, at its facsimile number or address set forth below its
        signature below or in the respective Subsidiary Joinder for such
        Guarantor (or to such other facsimile number or address for any party as
        indicated in any notice given by that party to the other parties). All
        such notices and communications shall be effective (i) when sent by any
        overnight courier service of recognized standing, on the second Business

        class postage prepaid and addressed through the United States Postal
        Service, upon receipt; (iii) when delivered by hand, upon delivery; and

               (b)Payments.

                      (i) Each Guarantor shall make all payments of the
               Guaranteed Obligations to Agent, or its order, at the office of
               Agent and at the times specified in the Credit Documents for the
               payment of such Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor shall make
               all other payments hereunder at such office as Agent may
               designate. Each payment shall be made in same day or immediately
               available funds not later than 11:00 a.m.(local time of the
               office of Agent at which such payment is to be made) on the date
               due.

                      (ii) Each Guarantor shall make all payments of the
               Guaranteed Obligations hereunder in the currency in which such
               Guaranteed Obligations are required to be paid by any Borrower
               pursuant to the Credit Documents and shall make all other
               payments hereunder in Dollars; provided, however, that, if Agent
               shall request a Guarantor to pay any amount hereunder which would
               otherwise be payable in another currency in the lawful currency
               of the United States, such Guarantor shall pay to Agent the
               Dollar Equivalent of such amount.

               (iii) If any sum due from any Guarantor under this Guaranty or
               any other Credit Document to which such Guarantor is a party or
               any order, judgment or award given or rendered in relation hereto
               or thereto has to be converted from the currency (the "first
               currency") in which the same is payable hereunder or thereunder
               into another currency (the "second currency") for the purpose of
               (A) making or filing a claim or proof against such Guarantor with
               any Governmental Authority, (B) obtaining an order or judgment in
               any court or other tribunal or (C) enforcing any order or
               judgment given or made in relation hereto, such Guarantor shall,
               to the fullest extent


                                       7
<PAGE>   92

               permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless each of the Persons
               to whom such sum is due from and against any loss suffered as a
               result of any discrepancy between (1) the rate of exchange used
               for such purpose to convert the amounts in question from the
               first currency into the second currency and (2) the rate or rates
               of exchange at which such Person may, using reasonable efforts in
               the ordinary course of business, purchase the first currency with
               the second currency upon receipt of a sum paid to it in
               satisfaction, in whole or in part, of any such order, judgment,
               claim or proof. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a
               separate obligation of each Guarantor distinct from its other
               obligations hereunder and shall survive the giving or making of
               any judgment or order in relation to all or any of such
               obligations.

                      (iv) If any amounts required to be paid by any Guarantor
               under this Guaranty or any order, judgment or award given or
               rendered in relation hereto remain unpaid after such amounts are
               due, such Guarantor shall pay interest on the aggregate,
               outstanding balance of such amounts from the date due until those
               amounts are paid in full at a per annum rate equal to:

                           (1) In the case of amounts payable in Dollars, the
               Base Rate plus two ---- percent (2.00%), such rate to change from
               time to time as the Base Rate shall change.

                           (2) In the case of amounts payable in any other
               currency, the Overnight Rate for such currency plus three percent
               (3.0%), such rate to change from time to time as the Overnight
               Rate shall change.

               (c)Expenses. Each Guarantor shall pay on demand (i) all
        reasonable and documented fees and expenses, including reasonable
        attorneys' fees and expenses, incurred by Agent in connection with the
        preparation, execution and delivery of, and the exercise of its duties
        under, this Guaranty and the preparation, execution and delivery of
        amendments and waivers hereunder and (ii) all reasonable and documented
        fees and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses,
        incurred by Agent and Lenders in connection with the enforcement or
        attempted enforcement of this Guaranty or any of the Guaranteed
        Obligations or in preserving any of Agent's or Lenders' rights and
        remedies (including, without limitation, all such fees and expenses
        incurred in connection with any "workout" or restructuring affecting the
        Credit Documents or the Guaranteed Obligations or any bankruptcy or
        similar proceeding involving Guarantor, any other Guarantor, any
        Borrower, or any of their affiliates).

               (d)Waivers; Amendments. This Guaranty may not be amended or
        modified, nor may any of its terms be waived, except by written
        instruments signed by each Guarantor and Agent. Each waiver or consent
        under any provision hereof shall be effective only in the specific
        instances for the purpose for which given. No failure or delay on
        Agent's or any Lender's part in exercising any right hereunder shall
        operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right nor shall any single
        or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other further
        exercise thereof or of any other right.

               (e)Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty shall be binding upon
        and inure to the benefit of Agent, Lenders, Guarantors and their
        respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that no Guarantor
        may assign or transfer any of its rights and obligations under this
        Guaranty without the prior written consent of Agent and Lenders, and,
        provided, further, that Agent or any Lender may sell, assign and
        delegate their respective rights and obligations hereunder only as
        permitted by the Credit Agreement. All references in this Guaranty to
        any Person shall be deemed to include all permitted successors and
        assigns of such Person.

               (f)Cumulative Rights, etc. The rights, powers and remedies of
        Agent and Lenders under this Guaranty shall be in addition to all
        rights, powers and remedies given to Agent and Lenders by virtue of any
        applicable law, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority, the
        Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other agreement, all
        of which rights, powers, and remedies shall be cumulative and may be
        exercised successively or concurrently without impairing Agent's or any
        Lender's rights hereunder. Each Guarantor waives any right to require
        Agent or any Lender to proceed against any Person or to exhaust any
        Collateral or to pursue any remedy in Agent's or such Lender's power.


                                       8
<PAGE>   93

               (g)Setoff; Security Interest.

                      (i) In addition to any rights and remedies of Lenders
               provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, with the prior
               consent of Agent but without prior notice to or consent of any
               Guarantor, any such notice and consent being expressly waived by
               each Guarantor to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon
               the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
               to set-off and apply against the obligations of each Guarantor
               any amount owing from such Lender to such Guarantor. The
               aforesaid right of set-off may be exercised by such Lender
               against a Guarantor or against any trustee in bankruptcy, debtor
               in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver or
               execution, judgment or attachment creditor of such Guarantor or
               against anyone else claiming through or against such Guarantor or
               such trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for
               the benefit of creditors, receiver, or execution, judgment or
               attachment creditor, notwithstanding the fact that such right of
               set-off may not have been exercised by such Lender at any prior
               time. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the applicable
               Guarantor after any such set-off and application made by such
               Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not
               affect the validity of such set-off and application.

                      (ii) As security for the obligations of each Guarantor
               hereunder, each Guarantor hereby grants to Agent and each Lender,
               for the benefit of all Lenders, a continuing security interest in
               any and all deposit accounts or moneys of such Guarantor now or
               hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each Lender shall have all
               of the rights of a secured party with respect to such security
               interest.

               (h)Payments Free of Taxes. All payments made by each Guarantor
        under this Guaranty shall be made free and clear of, and without
        deduction or withholding for or on account of, all present and future
        Non-Excluded Taxes. If any Non-Excluded Taxes are required to be
        withheld from any amounts payable to Agent or any Lender hereunder, the
        amounts so payable to Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the
        extent necessary to yield to Agent or such Lender (after payment of all
        Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder
        at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Guaranty or the other
        Credit Documents, as applicable. Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are
        payable by any Guarantor, as promptly as possible thereafter, such
        Guarantor shall send to Agent for its own account or for the account of
        such Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original
        official receipt received by such Guarantor showing payment thereof. If
        Guarantors fail to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the
        appropriate taxing authority or fail to remit to Agent the required
        receipts or other required documentary evidence, Guarantors shall
        indemnify Agent and Lenders for any taxes (including interest or
        penalties) that may become payable by Agent or any Lender as a result of
        any such failure. The obligations of Guarantors under this Subparagraph
        6(h) shall survive the payment and performance of the Guaranteed
        Obligations and the termination of this Guaranty. Nothing contained in
        this Subparagraph 6(h) shall require Agent or any Lender to make
        available any of its tax returns (or any other information relating to
        its taxes which it deems to be confidential).

               (i)Partial Invalidity. If at any time any provision of this
        Guaranty is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect
        under the law or any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or
        enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Guaranty nor the
        legality, validity or enforceability of such provision under the law of
        any other jurisdiction shall in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

               (j)Jury Trial. EACH OF GUARANTORS, LENDERS AND AGENT, TO THE
        FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES
        ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AS TO ANY ISSUE RELATING HERETO IN ANY

               (l)Governing Law, Consent to Jurisdiction, Etc.

                      (i) This Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in
               accordance with the laws of the State of California, except for
               the purposes of any suit or legal action brought in Mexico in
               which case it shall be governed by the laws of Mexico.

                      (ii) Each Guarantor irrevocably submits to the
               non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of
               California and the courts of the United States of America located
               in the Northern District of California and, in respect of the
               Mexican Guarantor, the Mexican Guarantor and the Agent, on behalf
               of Lenders, also irrevocably submit to the jurisdictions of the
               courts of the Federal District of Mexico, Mexico, and agrees that
               any legal action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating
               to this Guaranty or any of the other Credit Documents may be
               brought against such party in any such courts. Final judgment
               against a Guarantor in any such action, suit or proceeding shall
               be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction by
               suit on the judgment, a certified or exemplified copy of which
               shall be conclusive evidence of the judgment, or in any other
               manner provided by law. Nothing in this Subparagraph 6(l) shall
               affect the right of Agent or any Lender to commence legal
               proceedings or otherwise sue any Guarantor in any other
               appropriate jurisdiction, or concurrently in more than one
               jurisdiction, or to serve process, pleadings and other papers
               upon any Guarantor in any manner authorized by the laws of any
               such jurisdiction. Subject to and except as otherwise provided in
               paragraph (iii) below in respect of the Mexican Guarantor, each
               Guarantor agrees that process served either personally or by
               registered mail shall, to the extent permitted by law,
               constitutes adequate service of process in any such suit. Without
               limiting the foregoing, each Guarantor hereby appoints, in the
               case of any such action or proceeding brought in the courts of or
               in the State of California, CT Corporation, with offices on the
               date hereof at 818 West Seventh Street, Los Angeles, California
               90017, to receive for it and on its behalf, service of process in
               the State of California with respect thereto, provided each
               Guarantor may appoint any other person, reasonably acceptable to
               Agent, with offices in the State of California to replace such
               agent for service of process upon delivery to Agent of a
               reasonably acceptable agreement of such new agent agreeing so to
               act. Each Guarantor irrevocably waives to the fullest extent
               permitted by applicable law (A) any objection which it may have
               now or in the future to the laying of the venue of any such
               action, suit or proceeding in any court referred to in the first
               sentence above; (B) any claim that any such action, suit or
               proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum; (C) its
               right of removal of any matter commenced by any other party in
               the courts of the State of California to any court of the United
               States of America; (D) any immunity which it or its assets may
               have in respect of its obligations under this Agreement or any
               other Credit Document from any suit, execution, attachment
               (whether provisional or final, in aid of execution, before
               judgment or otherwise) or other legal process; and (E) any right
               it may have to require the moving party in any suit, action or
               proceeding brought in any of the courts referred to above arising
               out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit
               Document to post security for the costs of any Guarantor or to
               post a bond or to take similar action.

                      (iii) The Mexican Guarantor hereby irrevocably appoints CT
               Corporation, Los Angeles Agency, (the "FMM Process Agent"), with
               an office on the date hereof in 818 West Seventh Street, Los
               Angeles, California 90017, in the case of any action, suit or
               proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty or any of
               the other Credit Documents brought in the courts of or in the
               State of California, as its agent to receive for it and on its
               behalf service of process in the State of California with respect
               thereto. Such service may be made by mailing or delivering a copy
               of such process to the Mexican Guarantor in care of the FMM
               Process Agent at the FMM Process Agent's above address, and the
               Guarantor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the FMM
               Process Agent to accept such service on its behalf; provided,
               that for any notice or service of process to be effective under
               Mexican law, such notice or service of process shall be deemed to
               have been given or made when delivered either (i) personally,
               return receipt requested, (ii) by courier delivery or certified
               mail, return receipt requested, or (iii) by facsimile followed by
               personal or courier delivery, return receipt requested. The
               Mexican Guarantor agrees that a final judgment in any such
               proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
               jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner
               provided by law. For purposes of perfecting the

Lenders and Agent as follows:

               (a) Pledgor is the record legal and beneficial owner of the
        Collateral (or, in the case of after-acquired Collateral, at the time
        Pledgor acquires rights in the Collateral, will be the record legal and
        beneficial owner thereof). No other Person has (or, in the case of
        after-acquired Collateral, at the time Pledgor acquires rights therein,
        will have) any right, title, claim or interest (by way of Lien, purchase
        option or otherwise) in, against or to the Collateral.

               (b) Agent has (or in the case of after-acquired Collateral, at
        the time Pledgor acquires rights therein, will have) a first priority
        perfected security interest in the Collateral.


                                      E-2
<PAGE>   104

               (c) All Pledged Shares have been (or in the case of
        after-acquired Pledged Shares, at the time Pledgor acquires rights
        therein, will have been) duly authorized, validly issued and fully paid
        and are (or in the case of after-acquired Pledged Shares, at the time
        Pledgor acquires rights therein, will be) non-assessable.

               (d) Pledgor has delivered to Agent, together with all necessary
        stock powers, endorsements, assignments and other necessary instruments
        of transfer, the originals of all Pledged Shares, other certificated
        securities, other Collateral and all certificates, instruments and other
        writings evidencing the same.

               (e) Set forth in Attachment 1 hereto is a true, complete and
        accurate list, as of the date of this Agreement, of all Equity
        Securities of Ineligible Material Subsidiaries owned directly by
        Pledgor.


        4. COVENANTS. Pledgor hereby agrees as follows:

               (a) Pledgor, at Pledgor's expense, shall promptly procure,
        execute and deliver to Agent all documents, instruments and agreements
        and perform all acts which are necessary or desirable, or which Agent
        may request, to establish, maintain, preserve, protect and perfect the
        Collateral, the Lien granted to Agent therein and the first priority of
        such Lien or to enable Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and
        remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral. Without limiting the
        generality of the preceding sentence, Pledgor shall (i) procure, execute
        and deliver to Agent all stock powers, endorsements, assignments,
        financing statements and other instruments of transfer requested by
        Agent, (ii) deliver to Agent promptly upon receipt the originals of all
        Pledged Shares, other certificated securities, other Collateral and all
        certificates, instruments and other writings evidencing the same and
        (iii) cause the Lien of Agent to be recorded or registered in the books
        of any financial intermediary or clearing corporation requested by
        Agent.

               (b) Pledgor shall pay promptly when due all taxes and other
        Governmental Charges, all Liens and all other charges now or hereafter
        imposed upon, relating to or affecting any Collateral.

               (c) Pledgor shall appear in and defend any action or proceeding
        which may affect its title to or Agent's interest in the Collateral.

               (d) Pledgor shall not surrender or lose possession of (other than
        to Agent), sell, encumber, lease, rent, option, or otherwise dispose of
        or transfer any Collateral or right or interest therein except as
        permitted in the Credit Agreement, and, notwithstanding any provision of
        the Credit Agreement, Pledgor shall keep the Collateral free of all
        Liens.


        5. VOTING RIGHTS AND DIVIDENDS PRIOR TO DEFAULT. Unless an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing:

               (a) Pledgor may exercise or refrain from exercising any and all
        voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Shares or
        any part thereof; provided, however, that Pledgor shall not exercise or
        refrain from exercising any such rights where the consequence of such
        action or inaction would be (i) to impair any Collateral, the Lien
        granted to Agent therein, the first priority of such Lien or Agent's
        rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral or (ii)
        otherwise inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement and the other
        Credit Documents.

               (b) Pledgor may receive and retain all dividends and interest
        paid in cash in respect of the Pledged Shares, except for any such
        dividends and interest paid in connection with a partial or total
        liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital,
        capital surplus or paid-in-surplus. Pledgor shall promptly deliver to
        Agent to hold as Collateral all dividends and interest which Pledgor is
        not entitled to receive and retain pursuant to the preceding sentence,
        in the same form as so received (with any


                                      E-3
<PAGE>   105

        necessary endorsement), and, until so delivered, shall hold such
        dividends and interest in trust for the benefit of Agent, segregated
        from the other property or funds of Pledgor.


        6. AUTHORIZED ACTION BY AGENT. Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints Agent
as its attorney-in-fact and agrees that Agent may perform (but Agent shall not
be obligated to and shall incur no liability to Pledgor or any third party for
failure so to do) any act which Pledgor is obligated by this Agreement to
perform, and to exercise such rights and powers as Pledgor might exercise with
respect to the Collateral, including, without limitation, the right to (a)
collect by legal proceedings or otherwise and endorse, receive and receipt for
all dividends, interest, payments, proceeds and other sums and property now or
hereafter payable on or on account of the Collateral; (b) enter into any
extension, reorganization, deposit, merger, consolidation or other agreement
pertaining to, or deposit, surrender, accept, hold or apply other property in
exchange for the Collateral; (c) insure, process, preserve and enforce the
Collateral; (d) make any compromise or settlement, and take any action it deems
advisable, with respect to the Collateral; (e) pay any Indebtedness of Pledgor
relating to the Collateral; and (f) execute UCC financing statements and other
documents, instruments and agreements required hereunder; provided, however,
that Agent may exercise such powers only after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default. Pledgor agrees to reimburse Agent upon
demand for all reasonable and documented costs and expenses, including
reasonable and documented attorneys' fees, Agent may incur while acting as
Pledgor's attorney-in-fact hereunder, all of which costs and expenses are
included in the Secured Obligations. Pledgor agrees that such care as Agent
gives to the safekeeping of its own property of like kind shall constitute
reasonable care of the Collateral when in Agent's possession; provided, however,
that Agent shall not be required to make any presentment, demand or protest, or
give any notice and need not take any action to preserve any rights against any
prior party or any other Person in connection with the Secured Obligations or
with respect to the Collateral.


        7. EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

               (a) Event of Default. Pledgor shall be deemed in default under
        this Agreement upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
        Event of Default, as that term is defined in the Credit Agreement.

               (b) Voting Rights and Dividends. Upon the occurrence and during
        the continuance of an Event of Default:

                      (i) All rights of Pledgor to exercise the voting and other
               consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to
               exercise pursuant to subparagraph 5(a) hereof and to receive the
               dividends and interest payments which it would otherwise be
               authorized to receive and retain pursuant to subparagraph 5(a)
               hereof shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become
               vested in Agent which shall thereupon have the sole right, but
               not the obligation, to exercise such voting and other consensual
               rights and to receive and hold as Collateral such dividends and
               interest payments.

                      (ii) Pledgor shall promptly deliver to Agent to hold as
               Collateral all dividends and interest received by Pledgor after
               the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
               Default, in the same form as so received (with any necessary
               endorsement), and, until so delivered, shall hold such dividends
               and interest in trust for the benefit of Agent, segregated from
               the other property or funds of Pledgor.

               (c) Other Rights and Remedies. In addition to all other rights
        and remedies granted to Agent by this Agreement, the Credit Agreement,
        the other Credit Documents, the UCC and other applicable Governmental
        Rules, Agent may, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
        Event of Default, exercise any one or more of the following rights and
        remedies: (i) collect, receive, appropriate or realize upon the
        Collateral or otherwise foreclose or enforce Agent's security interests
        in any or all Collateral in any manner permitted by applicable
        Governmental Rules or in this Agreement; (ii) notify any or all issuers
        of or transfer or paying agents for the Collateral or any applicable
        clearing corporation, financial intermediary or other Person to register
        the Collateral in the name of Agent or its nominee and/or to pay all
        dividends, interest and other amounts payable in respect of the
        Collateral directly to Agent; (iii) sell or


                                      E-4
<PAGE>   106

        otherwise dispose of any or all Collateral at one or more public or
        private sales, whether or not such Collateral is present at the place of
        sale, for cash or credit or future delivery, on such terms and in such
        manner as Agent may determine; and (iv) require Pledgor to assemble all
        records and information relating to the Collateral and make it available
        to Agent at a place to be designated by Agent. In any case where notice
        of any sale or disposition of any Collateral is required, Pledgor hereby
        agrees that seven (7) days notice of such sale or disposition is
        reasonable.

               (d) Securities Laws.

                      (i) Pledgor acknowledges and recognizes that Agent may be
               unable to effect a public sale of all or a part of the Pledged
               Shares and may be compelled to resort to one or more private
               sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obligated
               to agree, among other things, to acquire the Pledged Shares for
               their own account, for investment and not with a view to the
               distribution or resale thereof. Pledgor acknowledges that any
               such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable
               to Agent than those of public sales, and agrees that such private
               sales shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially
               reasonable manner and that Agent has no obligation to delay sale
               of any Pledged Shares to permit the issuer thereof to register it
               for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or
               under any state securities law.

                      (ii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
               Event of Default and at Agent's request, Pledgor shall, and shall
               cause all issuers of Collateral and all officers and directors
               thereof and all other necessary Persons to, execute and deliver
               all documents, instruments and agreements and perform all other
               acts necessary or, in the opinion of Agent, advisable to sell the
               Collateral in any public or private sale, including any acts
               requested by Agent to (A) register any Collateral under the
               Securities Act of 1933, (B) qualify any Collateral under any
               state securities or "Blue Sky" laws or (C) otherwise permit any
               such sale to be made in full compliance with all applicable
               Governmental Rules.


        8. MISCELLANEOUS.

               (a) Notices. Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices,
        requests, demands, consents, instructions or other communications to or

        Paragraph 8.01 of the Credit Agreement.

               (b) Waivers; Amendments. Any term, covenant, agreement or
        condition of this Agreement may be amended or waived only as provided in
        the Credit Agreement. No failure or delay by Agent or any Lender in
        exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or of
        any other right nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such
        right preclude any other further exercise thereof or of any other right.
        Unless otherwise specified in any such waiver or consent, a waiver or
        consent given hereunder shall be effective only in the specific instance
        and for the specific purpose for which given.

               (c) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon
        and inure to the benefit of Agent, Lenders, Pledgor and their respective
        successors and assigns; provided, however, that Pledgor may not assign
        or transfer any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
        without the prior written consent of Agent and Lenders, and, provided,
        further, that Agent or any Lender may sell, assign and delegate their
        respective rights and obligations hereunder only as permitted by the

("FIL"), each of the Subsidiaries of FIL designated as borrowers from time to

Borrowers"), Assignor Lender and the other financial institutions parties
thereto (collectively, the "Lenders") and ABN AMRO Bank N.V., as agent for
Lenders (in such capacity, "Agent"). (Such credit agreement, as amended,
supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with its terms from time to
time to be referred to herein as the "Credit Agreement").

        B. Assignor Lender wishes to sell, and Assignee Lender wishes to
purchase, all or a portion of Assignor Lender's rights under the Credit
Agreement pursuant to Subparagraph 8.05(c) of the Credit Agreement.

                                    AGREEMENT

        Now, therefore, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

        1. Definitions. Except as otherwise defined in this Assignment
Agreement, all capitalized terms used herein and defined in the Credit Agreement
have the respective meanings given to those terms in the Credit Agreement.

        2. Sale and Assignment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Assignment Agreement, Assignor Lender hereby agrees to sell, assign and delegate
to each Assignee Lender and each Assignee Lender hereby agrees to purchase,
accept and assume the rights, obligations and duties of a Lender under the

Lender, in immediately available or same day funds, an amount equal to the

Assignee Lender hereunder. Effective upon receipt by Assignor Lender of each
Purchase Price payable by each Assignee Lender, the sale, assignment and

        5. Payments After the Assignment Effective Date. Assignor Lender and
each Assignee Lender hereby agree that Agent shall, and hereby authorize and
direct Agent to, allocate amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the
other Credit Documents as follows:

               (a) All principal payments made after the Assignment Effective
        Date with respect to each portion of a Loan assigned to an Assignee
        Lender pursuant to this Assignment Agreement shall be payable to such
        Assignee Lender.

               (b) All interest, fees and other amounts accrued after the
        Assignment Effective Date with respect to each portion of a Loan
        assigned to an Assignee Lender pursuant to this Assignment Agreement
        shall be payable to such Assignee Lender.

Assignor Lender and each Assignee Lender shall make any separate arrangements
between themselves which they deem appropriate with respect to payments between
them of amounts paid under the Credit Documents on account of the Commitments or
Loans assigned to such Assignee Lender, and neither Agent nor Borrowers shall
have any responsibility to effect or carry out such separate arrangements.

        [6. Delivery of Notes. On or prior to the Assignment Effective Date,
Assignor Lender will deliver to Agent the Notes payable to Assignor Lender. On
or prior to the Assignment Effective Date, Borrowers will deliver to Agent new
Notes for each Assignee Lender and Assignor Lender, in each case in principal
amounts reflecting, in accordance with the Credit Agreement, their respective
Commitments (as adjusted pursuant to this Assignment Agreement). As provided in
Subparagraph 8.05(c) of the Credit Agreement, each such new Note shall be dated

to each of Assignor Lender and the Assignee Lenders its new Notes and will send
to Borrower the superseded Note payable to Assignor Lender, marked "Replaced."]

        7. Delivery of Copies of Credit Documents. [Concurrently with the
execution and delivery hereof, Assignor Lender will provide to each Assignee
Lender (if it is not already a Lender party to the Credit Agreement) conformed
copies of all documents delivered to Assignor Lender on or prior to the Closing
Date in satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in the Credit
Agreement.]

        8. Further Assurances. Each of the parties to this Assignment Agreement
agrees that at any time and from time to time upon the written request of any
other party, it will execute and deliver such further documents and do such
further acts and things as such other party may reasonably request in order to
effect the purposes of this Assignment Agreement.

        9. Further Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Assignor Lender
and each Assignee Lender further represent and warrant to and covenant with each
other, Agent and Lenders as follows:

               (a) Other than the representation and warranty that it is the
        legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned hereby free
        and clear of any adverse claim, Assignor Lender makes no representation
        or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any
        statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with
        the Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the execution,

               (b) Assignor Lender makes no representation or warranty and
        assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of
        Borrowers or any of their oblations under the Credit Agreement or any
        other Credit Documents.

               (c) Each Assignee Lender confirms that it has received a copy of
        the Credit Agreement and such other documents and information as it has
        deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter
        into this Assignment Agreement.

               (d) Each Assignee Lender will, independently and without reliance
        upon Agent, Assignor Lender or any other Lender and based upon such
        documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time,
        continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action
        under the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

               (e) Each Assignee Lender appoints and authorizes Agent to take
        such action as Agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the
        Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents as Agent is authorized
        to exercise by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are
        reasonably incidental thereto, all in accordance with Section VII of the
        Credit Agreement.

               (f) Each Assignee Lender agrees that it will perform in
        accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of
        the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents are required to be
        performed by it as a Lender.

               (g) Attachment 1 hereto sets forth administrative information
        with respect to each Assignee Lender.

        10. Effect of this Assignment Agreement. On and after the Assignment
Effective Date, (a) each Assignee Lender shall be a Lender with Commitments or
Loans as set forth under the caption "Commitments or Loans After Assignment"
opposite such Assignee Lender's name on Attachment 1 hereto and shall have the
rights, duties and obligations of such a Lender under the Credit Agreement and
the other Credit Documents and (b) Assignor Lender shall be a Lender with
Commitments or Loans as set forth under the caption "Commitments or Loans After
Assignment" opposite Assignor Lender's name on Attachment 1 hereto and shall
have the rights, duties and obligations of such a Lender under the Credit
Agreement and the other Credit Documents, or, if the Commitments or Loans of
Assignor Lender have been reduced to $0, Assignor Lender shall cease to be a
Lender and shall have no further obligation to make any Loans.

        11. Miscellaneous. This Assignment Agreement shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California. Paragraph
headings in this Assignment Agreement are for convenience of reference only and
are not part of the substance hereof.
