to disburse the proceeds of any Revolving Loan requested pursuant to this
Section 2.2 until each Lender shall have made available to the Administrative
Agent its applicable Commitment Percentage of such Revolving Loan; provided,

have received the applicable Commitment Percentage.

this Agreement (including, without limitation, satisfaction (or proper waiver)
of the applicable conditions precedent in Article IV hereof), Wachovia, in its
individual capacity, agrees to make certain revolving credit loans requested by
the Domestic Borrowers in Dollars to the Domestic Borrowers (each a "Swingline
Loan" and, collectively, the "Swingline Loans") from time to time, from the

hereinafter set forth; provided, however, that at any time (i) the aggregate
principal amount of Swingline Loans outstanding shall not exceed the Swingline
Committed Amount, and (ii) the aggregate principal amount (reflecting the

amount of any drawings not reimbursed pursuant to Section 2.5(d) and the
undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit (reflecting the Assigned Dollar
Value of such unreimbursed drawings made in an Alternative Currency or such
undrawn amount of any Letters of Credit payable in an Alternative Currency)
plus the Assigned Dollar Value of all outstanding European Swingline Loans
shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitment. Swingline Loans hereunder shall be
made as Base Rate Loans and may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the
provisions hereof.

         (b)      Swingline Loan Advances.

                  (i)      Notices; Disbursement. Whenever the Domestic
Borrowers desire a Swingline Loan advance hereunder AHL, on behalf of the

(which shall be a Business Day) and (C) the principal amount of the Swingline
Loan advance requested.

                  Each Swingline Loan shall be made as a Base Rate Loan and
shall mature as provided in subsection (b)(iii) below.

                  (ii)     Minimum Amounts. Each Swingline Loan advance made by
the Swingline Lender in response to a notice submitted by the Domestic
Borrowers pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 2.3(b) shall be in a
minimum principal amount of $50,000 and in integral multiples of $50,000 in
excess thereof (or the remaining amount of the Swingline Committed Amount, if
less).

                  (iii)    Repayment of Swingline Loans. The principal amount
of all Swingline Loans shall be due and payable on the earlier of (A) the
maturity date specified by the Swingline Lender or (B) the Revolving Facility
Termination Date. The Swingline Lender may, at any time, in its sole
discretion, by written notice to the Domestic Borrowers and the Lenders, demand
repayment of its Swingline Loans by way of an advance under the Revolving
Facility, in which case the Domestic Borrowers shall be deemed to have
requested a Revolving Loan comprised solely of Base Rate Loans in the amount of
such Swingline Loans; provided, however, that any such demand shall be deemed
to have been given one Business Day prior to the Revolving Facility Termination
Date and on the date of the occurrence of any Event of Default described in
Section 10.1 and upon acceleration of the Obligations hereunder and the
exercise of remedies in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2. Each
Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make its pro rata share of each such
Revolving Loan in the amount, in the manner and on the date specified in the
preceding sentence notwithstanding (I) the amount of such borrowing may not
comply with the minimum amount for advances of Revolving Loans otherwise
required hereunder, (II) whether any conditions specified in Section 4.3 are
then satisfied, (III) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists,
(IV) failure of any such request or deemed request for a Revolving Loan to be
made by the time otherwise required hereunder, (V) whether the date of such
borrowing is a date on which Revolving Loans are otherwise permitted to be made
hereunder or (VI) any termination of the Revolving Facility relating thereto
immediately prior to or contemporaneously with such borrowing. In the event
that any Revolving Loan cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise
required above (including, without limitation, as a result of the commencement
of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any Borrower or any
Subsidiary of any Borrower), then each Lender hereby agrees that it shall
forthwith purchase (as of the date such borrowing would otherwise have
occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from such Borrower on or after
such date and prior to such purchase) from the Swingline Lender such
participations in the outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to
cause each such Lender to share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon its
Commitment Percentage of the Aggregate Commitment (determined before giving
effect to any termination of the Revolving Facility pursuant to Section 2.7),
provided that (A) all interest payable on the Swingline Loans shall be for the
account of the Swingline Lender until the date as of which the respective
participation is purchased and (B) at the time any purchase of participations
pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing Lender shall be
required to pay to the Swingline Lender, to the extent not paid to the
Swingline Lender by the Borrowers in accordance with the terms of subsection
(c)(ii) hereof, interest on the principal amount of participation purchased for
each day from and including the day upon which such borrowing


                                     -26-
<PAGE>


would otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such
participation, at the rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate.

         (c)      Interest on Swingline Loans.

                  (i)      Subject to the provisions of Section 3.1, each
Swingline Loan shall bear interest at a per annum rate (computed on the basis
of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the
case may be) equal to the Domestic Base Rate plus the Applicable Domestic Base
Rate Margin (subject to adjustment as and when set forth in Section 3.1(a)).

                  (ii)     Payment of Interest. Interest on Swingline Loans
shall be payable monthly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar
month, at such other times as the Swingline Lender may specify from time to
time, and on the Revolving Facility Termination Date.

         (d)      Swingline Note. The Swingline Loans shall be evidenced by a
duly executed promissory note (the "Swingline Note") of the Borrowers to the
Swingline Lender in substantially the form of Exhibit A-2.

         SECTION 2.4       Repayment of Revolving Loans.

         (a)      Repayment on Revolving Facility Termination Date. The
Borrowers shall repay the outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans
made to such Borrowers in full, together with all accrued but unpaid interest
thereon, on the Revolving Facility Termination Date.

         (b)      Mandatory Repayment of Excess Loans. If at any time the sum

Loans (after giving effect to the Assigned Dollar Value of any Foreign Currency
Loans) plus (ii) the sum of the principal amount of any drawings not reimbursed
pursuant to Section 2.5(d) and the undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of
Credit (reflecting the Assigned Dollar Value of such unreimbursed drawings made
in an Alternative Currency or such undrawn amount of any Letters of Credit
payable in an Alternative Currency) plus (iii) the outstanding aggregate
principal amount of all Swingline Loans and plus (iv) the Assigned Dollar Value
of all outstanding European Swingline Loans exceeds the Aggregate Commitment,
the Borrowers shall immediately repay such excess, and such payment shall be
applied in the following order: (i) first, to Swingline Loans; (ii) secondly,
to European Swingline Loans, (iii) thirdly, to Revolving Loans which are Base
Rate Loans; and (iv) finally, to Foreign Currency Loans (other than European
Swingline Loans). Each such repayment shall be accompanied by accrued interest
on the amount repaid and any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 3.8
hereof.

         (c)      Mandatory Repayment and Reduction Upon Net Proceeds
Realization. At the time of and upon consummation of the German Disposition,

Revolving Loans and the Swingline Loans and reduce the Aggregate Commitment by
the amount of such repayment.

with respect to Foreign Currency Loans, specifying the date and amount of
repayment and whether the repayment is of Base Rate Loans, LIBOR Rate Loans, or
Foreign Currency Loans, or a combination thereof, and, if of a combination
thereof, the amount allocable to each. Upon receipt of such notice, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender. If any such notice is
given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date
set forth in such notice. Partial repayments shall be in an aggregate amount of
(1) $3,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof with respect to
LIBOR Rate Loans or (2) Euro 500,000 or a whole multiple of Euro 100,000 in
excess thereof with respect to Foreign Currency Loans (other than European
Swingline Loans), (3) $2,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess
thereof with respect to Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans and European
Swingline Loans made as Base Rate Loans), (4) $500,000 or a whole multiple of
$50,000 in excess thereof with respect to European Swingline Loans, and (5)
$50,000 or a whole multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof with respect to
Swingline Loans. Each such repayment shall be accompanied by any amount required
to be paid pursuant to Section 3.8. Upon the repayment of any Loan, the
Borrowers, without fee or penalty, upon irrevocable notice to the Administrative
Agent at least five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed Aggregate Commitment
reduction, may reduce the Aggregate Commitment for more or less than the repaid
Loan amount, but with such Aggregate Commitment reduction to be in a minimum
amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

         (e)      Limitation on Repayment of LIBOR Rate Loans. No Borrower may
repay any LIBOR Rate Loan hereunder on any day other than on the last day of the
Interest Period applicable thereto unless such repayment is accompanied by any
amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 3.8.

         (f)      Pro-Rata Commitment Reductions. All repayments and Commitment
reductions made pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be applied proportionally to
all Lenders based on each Lenders pro rata share of the Aggregate Commitment.

         (g)      Mandatory Reduction of the Aggregate Commitment. Subject to
adjustment from time to time by the Required Lenders with the consent of the
Borrowers, the Aggregate Commitment shall be reduced by the following amounts as
of the following dates: (1) on the Effective Date, by $275,000; (2) on May 17,
2002, by $800,000; (3) on June 7, 2002, by $172,000; (4) on August 30, 2002, by
$3,000,000; (5) on October 1, 2002, by $3,940,000; and (6) on November 1, 2002,
by $1,000,000. Such reductions shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, all
other reductions of the Aggregate Commitment required to be made under the terms
of this Agreement.

         SECTION 2.5       Letters of Credit.

         (a)      Issuance of Letters of Credit. Issuing Bank shall from time to
time, upon satisfaction (or proper waiver) of the applicable conditions
precedent in Article IV hereof, issue, extend or renew Letters of Credit that
are payable in Dollars or Alternative Currency for the account of each of the
Borrowers, upon such terms and conditions as Issuing Bank may then require;
provided that (i) the sum of the principal amount of any drawings not reimbursed
pursuant to Section 2.5(d) and the undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of
Credit (reflecting


                                      -29-
<PAGE>

the Assigned Dollar Value of such unreimbursed drawings made in an Alternative
Currency or such undrawn amount of any Letters of Credit payable in an
Alternative Currency) shall at no time exceed the LOC Committed Amount, and (ii)
the sum of (A) the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans outstanding
(reflecting the Assigned Dollar Value of all Foreign Currency Loans), (B) the
sum of the principal amount of any drawings not reimbursed pursuant to Section
2.5(d) and the undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit (reflecting the
Assigned Dollar Value of such unreimbursed drawings made in an Alternative
Currency or such undrawn amount of any Letters of Credit payable in an
Alternative Currency), and (C) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding
Swingline Loans and (D) the Assigned Dollar Value of the aggregate European
Swingline Loans outstanding shall all at no time exceed the Aggregate
Commitment. No Letter of Credit shall have an original expiration date more than
one year from the date of issuance or that extends beyond the Revolving Facility
Termination Date. The joint and several reimbursement obligations of the
Borrowers under any such Letters of Credit are to be Obligations hereunder, and
the coming due of any reimbursement obligation under any such Letter of Credit
shall be deemed to be a request for a Revolving Loan in the amount of such
Obligation. If an Event of Default occurs or exists, or, if at the Revolving
Facility Termination Date, there is outstanding a Letter of Credit that as
originally issued or as extended had an expiry date extending beyond the
Revolving Facility Termination Date, Borrowers, on demand by the Issuing Bank,
are to deliver to the Administrative Agent good funds equal to 100% of the
maximum liability under all outstanding Letters of Credit, which funds are to be
deposited in a separate, blocked account (the "Cash Collateral Account")
maintained by Borrowers with the Administrative Agent and are to be held in the
Cash Collateral Account for the benefit of the Lenders as cash collateral for
the Borrowers' joint and several reimbursement obligations and the other
Obligations. Without limiting any other provisions in this Agreement, including
the restrictions on the issuance, extension or renewal of Letters of Credit set
forth in Section 2.5(a) hereof, the parties hereto hereby agree that if at any
time the sum of the undrawn amount (reflecting the Assigned Dollar Value of any
Letters of Credit payable in an Alternative Currency) of outstanding Letters of
Credit exceeds the LOC Committed Amount, Borrowers, on demand by the Issuing
Bank, are to deliver to the Administrative Agent good funds equal to 100% of the
amount of such excess, which funds are to be deposited in the Cash Collateral
Account maintained by Borrowers with the Administrative Agent and are to be held
in the Cash Collateral Account for the benefit of the Lenders as cash collateral
for the Borrowers' joint and several reimbursement obligations and the other
Obligations.

         (b)      Letter of Credit Fees. Upon the issuance, renewal or extension
of a Letter of Credit on or after the Closing Date, the Borrowers jointly and
severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the
Lenders as set forth below, a fee (the "LOC Issuance Fee") with respect to the
undrawn amount of the Letter of Credit and such fee shall be paid by the
Borrowers in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar month commencing
April 30, 2002, and on the Revolving Facility Termination Date, based upon the
average daily undrawn amount of such Letter of Credit multiplied by the
Applicable Domestic Base Rate Margin (subject to adjustment as and when set
forth in Section 3.1(a)) in effect on (A) the Effective Date in the case of the
LOC Issuance Fee payable on April 30, 2002 and (B) the last day of the
immediately preceding calendar month for each calendar month thereafter. Each
Lender, upon the issuance, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit on or
after the Closing Date, shall share in the LOC Issuance Fee which shall be
computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and assessed for the actual number
of days elapsed. The Borrowers jointly and severally


                                      -30-
<PAGE>

further agree to (I) pay to the Issuing Bank, for its own account, the LOC
Fronting Fee, payable by the Borrowers in arrears on the last Business Day of
each calendar quarter commencing April 30, 2002, and on the Revolving Facility
Termination Date, and (II) pay the to the Issuing Bank, for its own account,
such administrative and operational fees, charges, and expenses customarily
charged by the Issuing Bank with respect to the issuance, handling, and
administration of payment under Letters of Credit.

         (c)      Participation. To the extent that Issuing Bank has not been
reimbursed as required hereunder or under any such Letter of Credit, the
Administrative Agent shall notify each of the Lenders, and each such Lender
shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the Issuing Bank such Lender's
Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Loan made to pay such unreimbursed
drawing in same day funds on the day of notification by Issuing Bank of an
unreimbursed drawing pursuant to the provisions of subsection (d) hereof. The
obligation of each Lender to fund any Revolving Loan as provided above shall be
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any dispute over the
propriety of payment under any Letter of Credit, the occurrence of a Default, an
Event of Default or any other occurrence or event. Any such reimbursement shall
not relieve or otherwise impair the joint and several obligations of the
Borrowers to reimburse Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit, together with
interest on such reimbursement amounts as provided in subsection (d) hereof.

         (d)      Reimbursement. Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Borrowers
of any drawing under any Letter of Credit. Unless AHL, on behalf of the
Borrowers, shall immediately notify Issuing Bank that the Borrowers intend to
reimburse Issuing Bank for such drawing other than from proceeds of Revolving
Loans, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested that the Lenders make
Revolving Loans in the amount (and in the case of any such Letter of Credit
payable in an Alternative Currency, reflecting the Assigned Dollar Value of such
drawing) of such drawing as provided in subsection (e) hereof on the related
Letter of Credit, the proceeds of which will be used to satisfy the related
reimbursement obligations to Issuing Bank. The Borrowers jointly and severally
agree to reimburse Issuing Bank on the date of drawing under any Letter of
Credit (either with the proceeds of Revolving Loans or otherwise) in immediately
available funds. If the conditions for making a Revolving Loan deemed requested
pursuant to this Section 2.3(c) to reimburse any Letter of Credit drawing have
not been satisfied, and the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion has not
waived the unsatisfied conditions for making the Revolving Loan but has not
accelerated the payment date of the Obligations pursuant to Section 10.2 hereof
because of the Borrowers' failure to reimburse such drawing, the Borrowers shall
pay the Letter of Credit drawing in full, or the unreimbursed amount of such
drawing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) the higher of the
U.S. Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Rate plus 1/2 of 1% plus (ii) two percent
(2%). The Borrowers' reimbursement obligations hereunder shall be absolute and
unconditional under all circumstances irrespective of any rights of setoff,
counterclaim or defense to payment any Borrower may claim or have against
Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the beneficiary of such
Letter of Credit or any other Person, including without limitation any defense
based on any failure of any Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Borrower to
receive consideration or the legality, validity or unenforceability of the
Letter of Credit. Issuing Bank will promptly notify the other Lenders of the
amount of any unreimbursed drawing and each Lender shall promptly pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of Issuing Bank, in Dollars and in
immediately available funds, the amount of such Lender's Commitment Percentage
of such unreimbursed drawing and


                                      -31-
<PAGE>

such payment shall be made or deemed made pursuant to clause (e) below. Such
payment shall be made on the day such notice is received by such Lender from
Issuing Bank if such notice is received at or before 3:00 P.M. (Charlotte time);
otherwise, such payment shall be made at or before 1:00 P.M. (Charlotte time) on
the Business Day next succeeding the day such notice is received. If such Lender
does not pay such amount to Issuing Bank in full upon such request, such Lender
shall, on demand, pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of Issuing
Bank interest on the unpaid amount during the period from the date of such
drawing until such Lender pays such amount to Issuing Bank in full at a rate per
annum equal to, if paid within two (2) Business Days of the date that such
Lender is required to make payments of such amount pursuant to the preceding
sentence, the Federal Funds Rate and thereafter at a rate equal to the Domestic
Base Rate. Each Lender's obligation to make such payment to Issuing Bank, and
the right of Issuing Bank to receive the same, shall be absolute and
unconditional, shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever and without
regard to the termination of this Agreement or the Commitments hereunder, the
existence of a Default or Event of Default or the acceleration of the
obligations of the Borrowers hereunder and shall be made without any offset,
abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Simultaneously with the making
of each such payment by a Lender to Issuing Bank, such Lender shall,
automatically and without any further action on the part of Issuing Bank or such
Lender, acquire a participation in an amount equal to such payment (excluding
the portion of such payment constituting interest owing to Issuing Bank) in the
related unreimbursed drawing portion of the LOC Obligation and in the interest
thereon, and shall have a claim against Borrowers with respect thereto.

         (e)      Repayment with Revolving Loans. On any day on which the
Borrowers shall have requested, or been deemed to have requested as provided in
(d) above, a Revolving Loan advance to reimburse a drawing under a Letter of
Credit, the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Lenders that a
Revolving Loan has been requested or deemed requested by the Borrowers to be
made in connection with a drawing under a Letter of Credit, in which case
Lenders shall severally make Revolving Loans to the Borrowers jointly and
severally in a principal amount for each Lender equal to such Lender's
Commitment Percentage of such Revolving Loan requested or deemed to be requested
by the Borrowers. Each Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent,
at the office of the Administrative Agent in Dollars in funds immediately
available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender's Commitment Percentage of
the Revolving Loans requested, and the proceeds thereof shall be paid directly
to Issuing Bank for application to the respective LOC Obligations. Each such
Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make its Commitment Percentage of each such
Revolving Loan immediately upon any such request or deemed request in the
amount, in the manner and on the date specified in the preceding sentence
notwithstanding (i) the amount of such borrowing may not comply with the minimum
amount for advances of Revolving Loans otherwise required hereunder, (ii)
whether any conditions specified Section 4.2 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a
Default or an Event of Default then exists, (iv) failure for any such request or
deemed request for Revolving Loans to be made by the time otherwise required
hereunder, (v) whether the date of such borrowing is a date on which Revolving
Loans are otherwise permitted to be made hereunder or (vi) any termination of
the Commitments relating thereto immediately prior to or contemporaneously with
such borrowing. In the event that any Revolving Loan cannot for any reason be
made on the date otherwise required above (including, without limitation, as a
result of the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code with
respect to any Borrower or any other Person obligated upon the Obligations),
then each such Lender hereby agrees that it


                                      -32-
<PAGE>

shall forthwith purchase (as of the date such borrowing would otherwise have
occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from the Borrowers on or after
such date and prior to such purchase) from Issuing Bank such participation in
the outstanding LOC Obligations as shall be necessary to cause each such Lender
to share in such LOC Obligations ratably (based upon the respective Commitment
Percentages of the Lenders (determined before giving effect to any termination
of the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.7)), provided that at the time any such
purchase of a participation is actually made, the purchasing Lender shall be
required to pay to Issuing Bank, to the extent not paid to the Issuing Bank by
the Borrowers in accordance with the terms of subsection (d) hereof, interest on
the principal amount of participation purchased for each day from and including
the day upon which such borrowing would otherwise have occurred to but excluding
the date of payment for such participation, if paid within two (2) Business Days
of the date of the Revolving Loan, at the Federal Funds Rate, and thereafter at
the Domestic Base Rate.

         (f)      Renewal, Extension. The renewal or extension of any Letter of
Credit shall, for purposes hereof, be treated in all respects the same as the
issuance of a new Letter of Credit hereunder.

         (g)      Uniform Customs and Practices. Issuing Bank may have the
Letters of Credit be subject to the Uniform Customs and Practices for
Documentary Credits, as published as of the date of issue by the International
Chamber of Commerce (the "UCP") that shall be specified in the Letter of Credit,
in which case the UCP may be incorporated therein and deemed in all respects to
be a part thereof.

         (h)      Indemnification; Nature of Issuing Bank's Duties.

                  (i)      In addition to its other obligations under this
         Section, the Borrowers jointly and severally shall and do hereby
         protect, indemnify, pay and save Issuing Bank and each Lender harmless
         from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages,
         losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys'
         fees) that Issuing Bank or such Lender may incur or be subject to as a
         consequence, direct or indirect, of (A) the issuance of any Letter of
         Credit or (B) the failure of Issuing Bank to honor a drawing under a
         Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful
         or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or
         governmental authority (all such acts or omissions, herein called
         "Government Acts").

                  (ii)     As between the Borrowers and Issuing Bank, the
         Borrowers shall assume all risks of the acts, omission or misuse of any
         Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, and Issuing Bank shall not
         be responsible (A) for the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy,
         genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in
         connection with the application for and issuance of any Letter of
         Credit, even if any such document should in fact prove to be in any or
         all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged,
         (B) for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or
         assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or
         the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in
         part, that may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason, (C)
         for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or
         delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or
         otherwise,


                                      -33-
<PAGE>

         whether or not they be in cipher, (D) for any loss or delay in the
         transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a
         drawing under a Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof, and (E)
         for any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Issuing
         Bank, including, without limitation, any Government Acts. None of the
         above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of Issuing Bank's
         rights or powers hereunder.

                  (iii)    In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of
         the specific provisions of the foregoing, any action taken or omitted
         by Issuing Bank or any Lender, under or in connection with any Letter
         of Credit or the related certificates, if taken or omitted in good
         faith, shall not put such Issuing Bank or such Lender under any
         resulting liability to the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries. It
         is the intention of the parties that this Agreement shall be construed
         and applied to protect and indemnify Issuing Bank and each Lender
         against any and all risks involved in the issuance of the Letters of
         Credit, all of which risks are hereby assumed by the Borrowers (on
         behalf of themselves and each of their Subsidiaries), including,
         without limitation, any and all Government Acts. Issuing Bank and the
         Lender shall not, in any way, be liable for any failure by Issuing Bank
         or anyone else to pay any drawing under any Letter of Credit as a
         result of any Government Acts or any other cause beyond the control of
         Issuing Bank.

                  (iv)     Nothing in this subsection (h) is intended to limit
         the joint and several reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers
         contained in subsection (d) above. The joint and several obligations of
         the Borrowers under this subsection (h) shall survive the termination
         of this Agreement. No act or omissions of any current or prior
         beneficiary of a Letter of Credit shall in any way affect or impair the
         rights of Issuing Bank or any Lender to enforce any right, power or
         benefit under this Agreement.

                  (v)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
         this subsection (h), the Borrowers shall not have an obligation to
         indemnify Issuing Bank or any Lender in respect of any liability
         incurred by Issuing Bank or such Lender (A) arising solely out of the
         gross negligence or willful misconduct of Issuing Bank or such Lender,
         as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, or (B) caused by
         Issuing Bank's failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after
         presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and
         conditions of such Letter of Credit, as determined by a court of
         competent jurisdiction, unless such payment is prohibited by at law,
         regulation, court order or decree.

         (i)      Responsibility of Issuing Bank. It is expressly understood and
agreed that the obligations of Issuing Bank to the Lenders are only those
expressly set forth in this Agreement and that Issuing Bank shall be entitled to
assume with respect to any Revolving Loans requested or deemed to be requested
hereunder that the conditions precedent to borrowings set forth in Section 4.3
have been satisfied; provided, however, that nothing set forth in this Section
2.5 shall be deemed to prejudice the right of any Lender to recover from Issuing
Bank any amounts made available by such Lender to Issuing Bank pursuant to this
Section 2.5 in the event that it is determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction that the payment with respect to a Letter of Credit constituted
gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Issuing Bank.


                                      -34-
<PAGE>

         (j)      Conflict with Letter of Credit Documents. All documents and
instruments executed in connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit
shall be interpreted in a manner to be consistent with, and not in conflict of,
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, but in the event of any conflict
between the provisions of this Agreement and any document or instrument executed
in connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit (including any letter of
credit application), the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall control.

         SECTION 2.6       Revolving Notes. Each Lender's Revolving Loans and
the joint and several obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Revolving Loans
made thereto shall be evidenced by the Revolving Note executed by the Borrowers
payable to the order of such Lender representing the Borrowers' joint and
several obligation to pay such Lender's Commitment or, if less, the aggregate
unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans made and to be made by such
Lender to the Borrowers hereunder, plus interest and all other fees, charges and
other amounts due thereon. Each Revolving Note issued under the Prior Credit
Agreement shall continue to evidence the Revolving Loans made under this
Agreement and the unpaid principal amount thereof shall bear interest at the
applicable interest rate per annum specified in Section 3.1.

         SECTION 2.7       Termination of Revolving Facility. The Lenders'
Commitments under Sections 2.1 and 2.2 shall terminate on the earlier of (a) the
Expiration Date or (b) the date of termination by the Administrative Agent on
behalf of the Lenders pursuant to Section 10.2(a).

         SECTION 2.8       Use of Proceeds. The Borrowers shall use the proceeds
of the Loans for working capital and general corporate requirements of the
Borrowers not prohibited by this Agreement and the payment of certain fees and
expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

         SECTION 2.9       Security; Trust; Covenant to Pay; Reaffirmation of
Obligations, etc.

         (a)      Security. The Obligations of each Borrower shall be secured in
accordance with the terms of the applicable Security Documents.

         (b)      Trust. All assets, rights, interests and benefits which are
now or in future granted to or conferred upon the Security Trustee pursuant to
the German Security Documents, the UK Security Documents or otherwise mortgaged,
charged, assigned or granted to it under any German Security Documents, UK
Security Documents (or any other document required in connection with the German
Security Documents or the UK Security Documents) and all other rights, powers
and discretions granted to or conferred upon the Security Trustee under the
German Security Documents, the UK Security Documents (or any other document
required in connection with the German Security Documents or UK Security
Documents) shall be held by the Security Trustee in trust for the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders from time to time in accordance with the
provisions of the relevant German Security Documents and UK Security Documents
and this Agreement. The trusts constituted by this clause (b) shall come into
existence on the date of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and
effect until:

                  (i)      all Obligations under this Agreement or any other
         Loan Document have been fully and finally discharged; and


                                      -35-
<PAGE>

                  (ii)     neither Issuing Bank nor any Lender is under any
         commitment, obligation or liability (whether actual or contingent) to
         make advances or provide any other financial accommodation under this
         Agreement or any other Loan Document, provided that, for the purpose of
         the rule against perpetuities, the perpetuity period applicable to the
         trusts constituted by clause (b) above of this Agreement shall be the
         period of 80 years less one day from the date of this Agreement.

         (c)      Covenant to Pay. Without prejudice to its respective
obligations to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each Borrower undertakes to the
Security Trustee to pay to the Security Trustee on behalf of the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders all amounts from time to time due and
payable by it for the account of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and
any Lender under any Loan Document to the extent not already paid and duly and
punctually to observe and perform all its obligations contained in each Loan
Document to which it is a party. Any payment made by the Borrowers to the
Security Trustee pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, shall, to the
extent of such payment, also discharge such Borrowers' obligation to make such
payment to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Lender concerned.

         (d)      Reaffirmation of Obligations and Liens. Each of the Borrowers
does hereby reaffirm all of its indebtedness, obligations and liabilities to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Existing Security Documents
executed by it and does hereby reaffirm the grant of any and all Liens on its
property held by the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders) under
such Existing Security Documents; provided, however, that nothing in this
Section 2.9(b) is intended, or shall be construed, to constitute a novation of
any such indebtedness, obligations or liabilities or to modify, affect, release
or otherwise impair the continuity or perfection of such Liens.

         (e)      Continued Effectiveness of Existing Security Documents. The
Domestic Borrowers hereby confirm and agree that the Confirmation Agreement
executed and delivered by each of the Domestic Borrowers on the Closing Date
shall continue in full force and effect from and after the Effective Date to,
among other things, confirm each Borrower's agreement that each of the Existing
Security Documents shall, after giving effect to the execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents executed on the
Closing Date or on the Effective Date, remain in full force and effect.

         SECTION 2.10      Maximum Borrower Liability and Enforcement.

         (a)      It is the intent of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent,
the Lenders and any other Person holding any of the Obligations that each
Borrower's (other than AHL's) maximum obligations hereunder (such Borrower's
"Maximum Borrower Liability") in any case or proceeding referred to below (but
only in such a case or proceeding) shall not be in excess of:

                  (i)      in a case or proceeding commenced by or against such
         Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code on or within one year from the date
         on which any of the Obligations of such Borrower are incurred, the
         maximum amount that would not otherwise cause the obligations of such
         Borrower hereunder (or any other obligations of such Borrower to the
         Administrative


                                      -36-
<PAGE>

         Agent, the Lenders and any other Person holding any of the Obligations)
         to be avoidable or unenforceable against such Borrower under (A)
         Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or (B) any state fraudulent transfer
         or fraudulent conveyance act or statute applied in such case or
         proceeding by virtue of Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code; or

                  (ii)     in a case or proceeding commenced by or against such
         Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code subsequent to one year from the date
         on which any of the Obligations of such Borrower are incurred, the
         maximum amount that would not otherwise cause the obligations of such
         Borrower hereunder (or any other obligations of such Borrower to the
         Administrative Agent, the Lenders and any other Person holding any of
         the Obligations) to be avoidable or unenforceable against such Borrower
         under any state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance act or
         statute applied in any such case or proceeding by virtue of Section 544
         of the Bankruptcy Code; or

                  (iii)    in a case or proceeding commenced by or against such
         Borrower under any law, statute or regulation other than the Bankruptcy
         Code relating to dissolution, liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy,
         moratorium, readjustment of debt, compromise, rearrangement,
         receivership, insolvency, reorganization or similar debtor relief from
         time to time in effect affecting the rights of creditors generally
         (collectively, "Other Debtor Relief Law"), the maximum amount that
         would not otherwise cause the obligations of such Borrower hereunder
         (or any other obligations of such Borrower to the Administrative Agent,
         the Lenders and any other Person holding any of the Obligations) to be
         avoidable or unenforceable against such Borrower under such Other
         Debtor Relief Law, including, without limitation, any state fraudulent
         transfer or fraudulent conveyance act or statute applied in any such
         case or proceeding. (The substantive state or federal laws under which
         the possible avoidance or unenforceability of the obligations of any
         Borrower hereunder (or any other obligations of such Borrower to the
         Administrative Agent, the Lenders and any other Person holding any of
         the Obligations) shall be determined in any such case or proceeding
         shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Avoidance Provisions").

         (b)      To the extent set forth in Section 2.10(a), but only to the
extent that the Obligations of any Borrower hereunder, or the transfers made by
such Borrower under the Pledge Agreements, the Mortgage of Shares or the
Security Agreement, would otherwise be subject to avoidance under any Avoidance
Provisions if such Borrower is not deemed to have received valuable
consideration, fair value, fair consideration or reasonably equivalent value for
such transfers or obligations, or if such transfers or obligations of any
Borrower hereunder would render such Borrower insolvent, or leave such Borrower
with an unreasonably small capital or unreasonably small assets to conduct its
business, or cause such Borrower to have incurred debts (or to have intended to
have incurred debts) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature, in
each case as of the time any of the obligations of such Borrower are deemed to
have been incurred and transfers made under such Avoidance Provisions, then the
obligations of such Borrower hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which,
after giving effect thereto, would not cause the Obligations of such Borrower
hereunder (or any other obligations of such Borrower to the Administrative
Agent, the Lenders or any other Person holding any of the Obligations), as so
reduced, to be subject to avoidance under such Avoidance Provisions. This
Section 2.10(b) is intended solely to preserve the rights hereunder of the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and any other Person holding any of the
Obligations to the maximum extent that would not cause the


                                      -37-
<PAGE>

obligations of the Borrowers hereunder to be subject to avoidance under any
Avoidance Provisions, and no Borrower nor any other Person shall have any right,
defense, offset, or claim under this Section 2.10(b) as against the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any other Person holding any of the
Obligations that would not otherwise be available to such Person under the
Avoidance Provisions.

         (c)      Each Borrower agrees that the Obligations may at any time and
from time to time exceed the Maximum Borrower Liability of such Borrower, and
may exceed the aggregate Maximum Borrower Liability of all Borrowers hereunder,
without impairing this Agreement or any provision contained herein or affecting
the rights and remedies of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent hereunder.

         (d)      In the event any Borrower (a "Funding Borrower") shall make
any payment or payments under this Agreement or shall suffer any loss as a
result of any realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its
obligations hereunder, each other Borrower (each, a "Contributing Borrower")
shall contribute to such Funding Borrower an amount equal to such payment or
payments made, or losses suffered, by such Funding Borrower determined as of the
date on which such payment or loss was made multiplied by the ratio of (i) the
Maximum Borrower Liability of such Contributing Borrower (without giving effect
to any right to receive any contribution or other obligation to make any
contribution hereunder), to (ii) the aggregate Maximum Borrower Liability of all
Borrowers (including the Funding Borrowers) hereunder (without giving effect to
any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder).
Nothing in this Section 2.10(d) shall affect each Borrower's joint and several
liability to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the entire amount of
its Obligations. Each Borrower covenants and agrees that its right to receive
any contribution hereunder from a Contributing Borrower shall be subordinate and
junior in right of payment to all obligations of the Borrowers to the
Administrative Agent and Lenders hereunder.

         (e)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary appearing herein or
in the other Loan Documents, no Foreign Borrower shall be liable with respect to
the Obligations except for (i) the principal, interest, and other amounts owing
with respect to Loans made under the European Swingline Facility; (ii) the
principal, interest, and other amounts owing with respect to Revolving Loans or
Swingline Loans made to, and Letters of Credit issued for the benefit of, one or
more of the Foreign Borrowers; (iii) the costs incurred by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender in enforcing obligations of the Foreign Borrowers; and (iv)
the maximum principal amount at any time outstanding under all Foreign
Subsidiary Notes executed by such Foreign Borrower.

         (f)      The liability of ADI Alpha Holding, TUJA and their relevant
Affiliates who are organized in the legal form of a limited liability company
(GmbH) or limited partnership (GmbH & Co. KG) pursuant to (i) this Agreement and
(ii) the other Loan Documents are limited by Secs. 30 pp German GmbH Act
(GmbH-Gesetz) and corresponding provisions of the Commercial Code (HGB), so that
their enforcement against such limited liability companies or partnerships would
effectively mean a distribution of registered share capital of such limited
liability company or partnership to its direct or indirect shareholder(s) or a
repayment of loans deemed substituting equity; in particular, under any joint
liability of any such limited liability company or partnership for Obligations
of its shareholder(s) or Affiliates of its shareholders (other than


                                      -38-
<PAGE>

subsidiaries of such limited liability company or partnership), the enforcement
of any such liability shall be restricted to an amount that may be distributed
leaving the share capital of such limited liability company or partnership
unaffected; security which upon enforcement would de facto constitute a
distribution violating Secs. 30 pp German GmbH Act and corresponding provisions
of the Commercial Code shall not be enforced by the Lenders to the extent the
enforcement constitutes a violation of Secs. 30 pp German GmbH Act, and, if so
enforced, the relevant proceeds shall be returned. A subordination commitment of
such a limited liability company or partnership shall be deemed to provide for a
subordination only to the extent the subordination would not constitute a
violation of Secs. 30 pp German GmbH Act and corresponding provisions of the
Commercial Code.

         SECTION 2.11      Waiver of Subrogation. Except for the contribution
provided for in Section 2.10(d) above, each Borrower hereby waives, to the
fullest extent possible, as against each other Borrower and its assets, any and
all rights, whether at law, in equity, by agreement or otherwise, to
subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement, contribution, or any other similar claim,
cause of action or remedy that otherwise would arise out of such Borrower's
payment or performance of the Obligations. The preceding waiver is intended by
each Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to be for the benefit of
each other Borrower and any of their successors or assigns as an absolute
defense, other than under Section 2.10(d), to any action by any such Borrower
against any other Borrower or its assets.

         SECTION 2.12      European Swingline Loans.

         (a)      European Swingline Commitment. Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, the European Swingline Lender agrees to make
European Swingline Loans to the Foreign Borrowers (but with each of the
Borrowers, including, without limitation, each of the Foreign Borrowers, jointly
and severally obligated to repay such Loans) from time to time from the Closing
Date through the European Swingline Termination Date as requested by the Foreign
Borrowers, in accordance with the terms of Section 2.12(b); provided, that (a)
the Assigned Dollar Value of all outstanding European Swingline Loans (after
giving effect to any amount requested) when added to the sum of (i) the
aggregate principal amount (reflecting the Assigned Dollar Value of any
outstanding Foreign Currency Loans) of all outstanding Revolving Loans plus (ii)
the sum of the principal amount of any drawings not reimbursed pursuant to
Section 2.5(d) and the undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit
(reflecting the Assigned Dollar Value of such unreimbursed drawings made in an
Alternative Currency or such undrawn amount of any Letters of Credit payable in
an Alternative Currency) plus (iii) the aggregate principal amount of any
outstanding Swingline Loans, shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitment, and (b)
the Assigned Dollar Value of all outstanding European Swingline Loans (after
giving effect to any amount requested) shall not exceed the European Swingline
Committed Amount. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof the Foreign
Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving Loans hereunder until the
European Swingline Termination Date.

         (b)      Procedure for Advances of European Swingline Loans.

                  (i)      Notices; Disbursement. The Foreign Borrowers shall
         give the European Swingline Lender notice of their intention to borrow
         (A) not later than 11:00 a.m. (London time) at least three (3) Business
         Days before each European Swingline Loan in the case of European


                                      -39-
<PAGE>

         Swingline Loans to be made as LIBOR Rate Loans and (B) not later than
         12:00 p.m. (London time) on the date of the borrowing in the case of
         European Swingline Loans to be made as Base Rate Loans, and such notice
         shall be in the form required by the European Swingline Lender from
         time to time, and the European Swingline Lender shall advance funds to
         a bank account of the Foreign Borrower in London pursuant to procedures
         approved by the European Swingline Lender from time to time.

                  Each European Swingline Loan shall be made as a Base Rate Loan
         or LIBOR Rate Loans as provided in Section 3.1, shall bear interest as
         Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans as provided in Section 3.1 and
         shall mature as provided in subsection (b)(iii) below.

                  (ii)     Minimum Amounts. Each European Swingline Loan advance
         made by the European Swingline Lender in response to a notice submitted
         by a Foreign Borrower pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section
         2.12(b) shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000 and in
         integral multiples of $50,000 in excess thereof (or the remaining
         amount of the European Swingline Committed Amount, if less).

                  (iii)    Repayment of European Swingline Loans. The principal
         amount of all European Swingline Loans shall be due and payable on the
         earlier of (A) the maturity date specified by the European Swingline
         Lender (which, in the case of any European Swingline Loans made as
         LIBOR Rate Loans, shall be the last day of the interest period
         applicable to such Loan or such earlier date pursuant to the proviso
         contained in this sentence), or (B) the Revolving Facility Termination
         Date. The European Swingline Lender may, at any time, in its sole
         discretion, by written notice to the Foreign Borrowers and the Lenders,
         demand repayment of any of its European Swingline Loans by way of an
         advance under the Revolving Facility (except that the European
         Swingline Lender may not demand repayment of any European Swingline
         Loans made as LIBOR Rate Loans prior to the expiration of the last day
         of the interest period applicable to such Loans unless either of the
         conditions set forth in the proviso contained in this sentence have
         occurred), in which case (I) such European Swingline Loans shall be
         converted on such maturity date to Loans payable in Dollars at the
         Assigned Dollar Value of the outstanding amount of such European
         Swingline Loans and shall bear interest thereafter at a rate per annum
         equal to the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans made in Dollars,
         and (II) the Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving
         Loan comprised solely of Base Rate Loans in the amount of such
         converted European Swingline Loans; provided, however, that any such
         demand shall be deemed to have been given one Business Day prior to the
         Revolving Facility Termination Date and on the date of the occurrence
         of any Event of Default described in Section 10.1 and upon acceleration
         of the Obligations hereunder and the exercise of remedies in accordance
         with the provisions of Section 10.2. Each Lender hereby irrevocably
         agrees to make its pro rata share of each such Revolving Loan in the
         amount, in the manner and on the date specified in the preceding
         sentence notwithstanding (I) the amount of such borrowing may not
         comply with the minimum amount for advances of Revolving Loans
         otherwise required hereunder, (II) whether any conditions specified in
         Section 4.3 are then satisfied, (III) whether a Default or an Event of
         Default then exists, (IV) failure of any such request or deemed request
         for a Revolving Loan to be made by the time otherwise required
         hereunder, (V) whether the date of such borrowing is a date on which
         Revolving Loans are otherwise permitted to be made hereunder or (VI)
         any termination of the Revolving Facility relating thereto immediately
         prior to or contemporaneously with such borrowing. In the event that
         any Revolving Loan cannot for


                                      -40-
<PAGE>

         any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including,
         without limitation, as a result of the commencement of a proceeding
         under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any Borrower or any
         Subsidiary of any Borrower), then each Lender hereby agrees that it
         shall forthwith purchase (as of the date such borrowing would otherwise
         have occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from such
         Borrower on or after such date and prior to such purchase) from the
         European Swingline Lender such participations in the outstanding
         European Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause each such
         Lender to share in such European Swingline Loans ratably based upon its
         Commitment Percentage of the Aggregate Commitment (determined before
         giving effect to any termination of the Revolving Facility pursuant to
         Section 2.7), provided that (A) all interest payable on the European
         Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the European Swingline
         Lender until the date as of which the respective participation is
         purchased and (B) at the time any purchase of participations pursuant
         to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing Lender shall be
         required to pay to the European Swingline Lender, to the extent not
         paid to the European Swingline Lender by the Borrowers in accordance
         with the terms of this subsection (b)(iii) hereof, interest on the
         principal amount of participation purchased for each day from and
         including the day upon which such borrowing would otherwise have
         occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such participation,
         at the rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate.

         (c)      Swingline Note. The European Swingline Loans shall be
evidenced by a European Swingline Note duly executed by all of the Borrowers.

         SECTION 2.13      Liability Unconditional.

                  Each Domestic Borrower hereby agrees that such Borrower is
jointly and severally liable for the full and prompt payment (whether at stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and performance of, all Obligations owed
or hereafter owing to the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank and the Lenders by
each other Borrower. Each Domestic Borrower agrees that its liability shall be
absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and unaffected by,

                  (i)      the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability
         or any future amendment of, or change in, this Agreement, any other
         Loan Document or any other agreement, document or instrument to which
         any Borrower is or may become a party;

                  (ii)     the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement
         (including this Section 2.13) or any other Loan Document or the waiver
         or consent by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders with respect to
         any of the provisions thereof;

                  (iii)    the existence, value or condition of, or failure to
         perfect its Lien against, any security for the Obligations or any
         action, or the absence of any action, by the Administrative Agent or
         any Lender in respect thereof (including the release of any such
         security);

                  (iv)     the insolvency of any Borrower; or

                  (v)      any other action or circumstances which might
         otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a
         surety or guarantor,


                                      -41-
<PAGE>

it being agreed by each Domestic Borrower that its obligations as confirmed
under this Section 2.13 shall not be discharged until the payment and
performance, in full, of the Obligations has occurred. Each Domestic Borrower
expressly waives all rights it may have now or in the future under any statute,
or at common law, or at law or in equity, or otherwise, to compel the
Administrative Agent or any Lender to marshall assets or to proceed in respect
of the Obligations guaranteed hereunder against any other Borrower, any other
party or against any security for the payment and performance of the Obligations
before proceeding against, or as a condition to proceeding against, such
Domestic Borrower. It is agreed among each Domestic Borrower, the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders that the foregoing waivers are of the
essence of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and that, but for the provisions of this Section 2.13 and such
waivers, each Lender would decline to enter into this Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE III

                             GENERAL LOAN PROVISIONS

         SECTION 3.1       Interest.

         (a)      Interest Rate Options. Base Rate Loans shall bear interest at
a rate equal to (i) the Domestic Base Rate plus the Applicable Domestic Base
Rate Margin (subject to adjustment as and when set forth below), if such Loans
constitute Revolving Loans made in Dollars or Swingline Loans, or (ii) the
Foreign Base Rate plus the Applicable Foreign Base Rate Margin (subject to
adjustment as and when set forth below), if such Loans constitute European
Swingline Loans made as Base Rate Loans in the Base Rate Currency. LIBOR Rate
Loans (which shall include all Revolving Loans made as Foreign Currency Loans,
and any European Swingline Loans made in Alternative Currencies other than
Europeans Swingline Loans made as Base Rate Loans in the Base Rate Currency)
shall bear interest at the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable LIBOR Margin (subject
to adjustment as and when set forth below). On behalf of the Borrowers, AHL
shall determine whether a Revolving Loan is to be a Foreign Currency Loan, Base
Rate Loan or LIBOR Rate Loan and select the Interest Period, if any, applicable
to such Loan at the time a request for borrowing is given or at the time a
Notice of Conversion/Continuation is given pursuant to Section 3.2. Any
Revolving Loan or any portion thereof as to which the Company has not duly
specified an interest rate as provided herein shall, (x) if it is a Loan made in
Dollars, be deemed a Base Rate Loan, and (y) if it is a Revolving Loan made as a
Foreign Currency Loan, be deemed a LIBOR Rate Loan having an Interest Period of
one month. Any LIBOR Rate Loan for which an Interest Period has ended, shall, so
long as no Event of Default has occurred and shall be continuing, be deemed
renewed as a LIBOR Rate Loan in the currency in which the LIBOR Rate Loan was
repayable (unless it is a Foreign Currency Loan made in German deutsche marks,
which shall be paid in full at the end of such Interest Period), and have an
Interest Period of one month, provided that no Event of Default shall arise as a
result thereof.

         The Applicable Domestic Base Rate Margin, Applicable Foreign Base Rate
Margin and Applicable LIBOR Margin, respectively, shall be increased:


                                      -42-
<PAGE>

                  (i)      in the event Tax Refunds in an aggregate amount of
         $5,700,000 has not been received by the Borrower during the period
         commencing on the Effective Date and ending on April 30, 2002, by 0.10%
         per annum;

                  (ii)     in the event the German Disposition has not then been
         consummated, on May 1, 2002 by 0.15% per annum, on June 1, 2002 by
         0.30% per annum, on July 1, 2002 by 0.60% per annum, on August 1, 2002
         by 0.90% per annum, on September 1, 2002 by 1.20% per annum, on October
         1, 2002 by 1.50% per annum, on November 1, 2002 by 1.80% per annum, and
         on December 1, 2002 by 2.10% per annum; and

                  (iii)    in the event a cash equity contribution shall not
         have then been received by AHL in an amount sufficient to repay, in
         full, in cash, the Obligations on or before such date, on May 1, 2002
         by 0.15% per annum, on June 1, 2002 by 0.35% per annum, on July 1, 2002
         by 0.60% per annum, on August 1, 2002 by 0.85% per annum, on September
         1, 2002 by 1.15% per annum, on October 1, 2002 by 1.50% per annum, on
         November 1, 2002 by 1.80% per annum, and on December 1, 2002 by 2.20%
         per annum.

         For the avoidance of doubt and without limiting the foregoing, (i) any
borrowings under the Revolving Facility made in an Alternative Currency
(including English Pounds) shall be made by the Lenders solely as LIBOR Rate
Loans, (ii) any borrowings under the European Swingline Facility made in an
Alternative Currency (other than English Pounds) shall be made by the European
Swingline Lender solely as LIBOR Rate Loans having an Interest Period of one
month or as otherwise acceptable to the European Swingline Lender, and (iii) any
borrowings under the European Swingline Facility made in English Pounds shall be
made by the European Swingline Lender as Foreign Base Rate Loans or, if
acceptable to the European Swingline Lender, as LIBOR Rate Loans having an
Interest Period of one month or as otherwise acceptable to the European
Swingline Lender.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else contained in this
Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, (i) each LIBOR Rate Loan
issued and outstanding as of March 14, 2002 (the "LIBOR Conversion Date") in
Dollars shall, at the end of the then continuing Interest Period applicable
thereto, convert into Base Rate Loans and (ii) each Loan made in Dollars on and
after the LIBOR Conversion Date shall only be a Base Rate Loan.

         (b)      Interest Periods. In connection with each LIBOR Rate Loan (and
except as otherwise provided in Section 2.12(b) with respect to European
Swingline Loans), AHL, on behalf of the Borrowers for Revolving Loans, by giving
notice at the times required hereunder, shall elect an interest period (each, an
"Interest Period") to be applicable to such Loan, which Interest Period shall,
be a period of one week (only in the case of Foreign Currency Loans made to AHL)
or one, two, three, or six months; provided that:

                  (i)      the Interest Period shall commence on the date of
         advance of or conversion to LIBOR Rate Loan and, in the case of
         immediately successive Interest Periods, each successive Interest
         Period shall commence on the date on which the next preceding Interest
         Period expires;


                                      -43-
<PAGE>

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

                  (iii)    with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loan, any Interest
         Period that begins on the last Business Day of a 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 the calendar month at the end of such Interest
         Period;

                  (iv)     no Interest Period for Revolving Loans shall extend
         beyond the Revolving Facility Termination Date;

                  (v)      at any time there shall be no more than ten Tranches
         of LIBOR Rate Loans (excluding European Swingline Loans made as LIBOR
         Rate Loans) under the Revolving Facility, no more than five of which
         Tranches may be Foreign Currency Loans (excluding European Swingline
         Loans made as LIBOR Rate Loans); for purposes of this provision, a
         "Tranche" of Loan shall refer to Loans with Interest Periods beginning
         and ending on the same date;

                  (vi)     such right of election is subject to Section 3.1(f);

                  (vii)    European Swingline Loans made as LIBOR Rate Loans
         shall have an interest period of one month or as otherwise acceptable
         to the European Swingline Lender; and

                  (viii)   at any time there shall be no more than six (6)
         Tranches of European Swingline Loans made as LIBOR Rate Loans
         (including the Existing LIBOR Rate Loans); for purposes of this
         provision, a "Tranche" of Loan shall refer to European Swingline Loans
         with Interest Periods beginning and ending on the same date.

         (c)      Intentionally omitted.

         (d)      Intentionally omitted.

         (e)      Intentionally omitted.

         (f)      Default Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, (i) the Borrowers shall no longer have the option to
request LIBOR Rate Loans, Swingline Loans and Foreign Currency Loans, (ii) all
outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to
two percent (2%) in excess of the rate then applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans until
the end of the applicable Interest Period and thereafter shall bear interest at
a rate equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate then applicable to Base
Rate Loans made in Dollars and, if Foreign Currency Loans under the Revolving
Facility are outstanding, and the acceleration rights under Section 10.2(a)
shall have been exercised by the Administrative Lender, such Foreign Currency
Loans shall be converted on the date of


                                      -44-
<PAGE>

acceleration to Loans payable in Dollars at the Assigned Dollar Value of the
outstanding amount of the Loans and shall bear interest thereafter at a rate per
annum equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate then applicable to Base
Rate Loans made in Dollars, and (iii) all other Loans shall bear interest at a
rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate then applicable
to Base Rate Loans made in Dollars. Interest shall continue to accrue on the
Notes after the filing by or against any Borrower of any petition seeking any
relief in bankruptcy or under any act or law pertaining to insolvency or debtor
relief, whether state, federal or foreign.

         (g)      Interest Payment and Computation. Interest on each Base Rate
Loan and LIBOR Rate Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment
Date and on the Revolving Facility Termination Date. Interest on Base Rate Loans
and Foreign Currency Loans made in the Base Rate Currency shall be computed on
the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and assessed for the
actual number of days elapsed, and interest on all other Loans shall be computed
on the basis of a year of 360 days and assessed for the actual number of days
elapsed.

         (h)      Maximum Rate. In no contingency or event whatsoever shall the
aggregate of all amounts deemed interest hereunder or under any of the Notes
charged or collected pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or pursuant to any
of the Notes exceed the highest rate permissible under any Applicable Law which
a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem
applicable hereto. In the event that such a court determines that the Lenders
have charged or received interest hereunder in excess of the highest applicable
rate, the rate in effect hereunder shall automatically be reduced to the maximum
rate permitted by Applicable Law and the Lenders shall at the Administrative
Agent's option promptly refund to the applicable Borrower or Borrowers any
interest received by Lenders in excess of the maximum lawful rate or shall apply
such excess to the principal balance of the Obligations. It is the intent hereof
that the Borrowers not pay or contract to pay, and that neither the
Administrative Agent nor any Lender receive or contract to receive, directly or
indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be
paid by the Borrowers under Applicable Law.

         SECTION 3.2       Notice and Manner of Conversion or Continuation of
Loans. Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then
continuing, the Borrowers, with respect to Revolving Loans, shall have the
option to (i) convert at any time all or any portion of their outstanding Base
Rate Loans in a principal amount equal to $2,000,000 or any whole multiple of
$100,000 in excess thereof into LIBOR Rate Loans, (ii) upon the expiration of
any Interest Period, convert all or any part of their outstanding LIBOR Rate
Loans in a principal amount equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000
in excess thereof into Base Rate Loans, and (iii) upon the expiration of its
Interest Period, continue any (A) LIBOR Rate Loan that is not a Foreign Currency
Loan in a principal amount of $2,000,000 or any whole multiple of $100,000 in
excess thereof as a LIBOR Rate Loan and (B) LIBOR Rate Loan that is a Foreign
Currency Loan in a principal amount of Euro 500,000 or any whole multiple of
Euro 100,000 in excess thereof as a LIBOR Rate Loan that is a Foreign Currency
Loan; provided that the Borrowers shall not be entitled to continue, but shall
repay, such portion of any Foreign Currency Loan that equals the Assigned Dollar
Value Excess as of the end of the Interest Period. Whenever the Borrowers desire
to convert or continue Loans as provided above, AHL, on behalf of the Borrowers,
shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable prior written notice in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit C (a "Notice of Conversion/Continuation") not later
than 11:00 a.m. (Charlotte time or London time, respectively) three (3) Business
Days before the Business Day,


                                      -45-
<PAGE>

in the case of a conversion to or a continuation of a LIBOR Rate Loan and 11:00
a.m. (London time) three (3) Business Days before the Business Day, in the case
of a continuation of a LIBOR Rate Loan that is a Foreign Currency Loan, and the
same Business Day, in the case of a conversion to a Base Rate Loan, on which a
proposed conversion or continuation of such Loan is to be effective specifying
(i) the Loans to be converted or continued and, with respect to any LIBOR Rate
Loan to be converted or continued, the last day of the current Interest Period
therefor, (ii) the effective date of such conversion or continuation (which
shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of such Loans to be
converted or continued and (iv) with respect to a continuation of Foreign
Currency Loan, the Alternative Currency and the Interest Period to be applicable
thereto. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of such
Notice of Conversion/Continuation received with respect to Revolving Loans.

         SECTION 3.3       Fees.

         (a)      Facility Fee. Commencing on the Closing Date and continuing
through and including the Revolving Facility Termination Date, the Borrowers
shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, a
non-refundable facility fee (the "Facility Fee") on the average daily Aggregate
Commitment of the Lenders outstanding at a rate per annum (the "Facility Fee
Percentage") (based on a 360 day year) equal to .500%. The Facility Fee shall be
payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter
commencing September 30, 1999, and on the Revolving Facility Termination Date.
Such Facility Fee shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent between the
Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Lenders' respective Commitment
Percentages.

         (b)      Agent's Fees. In order to compensate the Administrative Agent
for its obligations hereunder, the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay
to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the fees set forth in the
letter agreement dated April 12, 2002 (the "Fee Letter").

         (c)      Letter of Credit Fees. Borrowers jointly and severally agree
to pay the Letter of Credit fees as set forth in Section 2.5(b) hereof.

         (d)      Amendment Fee. The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to
pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender an amendment fee
in the amount equal to two percent (2.00%) of such Lender's Commitment as of the
Effective Date, (1) one-half of which amendment fee shall be payable, in cash,
on the Effective Date and (2) the balance of which amendment fee shall be
payable on the Expiration Date, subject to the following:

                  (i)      in the event the Obligations are paid in full, in
         cash, prior to September 1, 2002, one hundred percent (100%) of such
         balance shall be forgiven; and

                  (ii)     in the event the Obligations are paid in full, in
         cash, during the period commencing on September 1, 2002 and ending on
         September 30, 2002, seventy-five percent (75%) of such balance shall be
         forgiven.

         SECTION 3.4       Manner of Payment.

         (a)      Revolving Loan Payments. Each Revolving Loan payment
(including repayments described in Article II) by any Borrower on account of the
principal of or interest on the


                                      -46-
<PAGE>

Revolving Loans or of any fee, commission or other amounts payable to the
Lenders under this Agreement or any Note shall be made in Dollars or, if such
Revolving Loan was made as a Foreign Currency Loan, in the applicable
Alternative Currency, not later than 1:00 p.m. (local time at the Loan Office
specified with respect to the Loan) on the date specified for payment under this
Agreement to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders to be
distributed pro rata among the Revolving Loans, and among such Lenders in
accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages, as applicable, at the
Administrative Agent's Office, in immediately available funds, and shall be made
without any set-off, counterclaim or deduction whatsoever. Any payment received
after such time but before 2:00 p.m. (Charlotte time) on such day shall be
deemed a payment on such date for the purposes of Section 10.1, but for all
other purposes shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business
Day. Any Revolving Loan payment received after 2:00 p.m. (Charlotte time) shall
be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day for all
purposes.

         (b)      European Swingline Loan Payments. Each Payment by a Borrower
on account of the principal of or interest on the European Swingline Loans or of
any fee, commission or other amounts payable to the European Swingline Lender
under this Agreement or the European Swingline Note shall be made not later than
1:00 p.m. (local time of the Loan Office designated by the European Swingline
Lender to receive Loan repayments) on the date specified for payment under this
Agreement at the Loan Office, in immediately available funds, and shall be made
without any set-off, counterclaim or deduction whatsoever. Any payment received
after such time shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding
Business Day for all purposes. All payments of principal and interest with
respect to European Swingline Loans shall be repayable in the Foreign Currency
in which such European Swingline Loan was made.

         (c)      Business Days. If any payment under this Agreement or any Note
shall be specified to be made upon a day which is not a Business Day, it shall
be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day and such extension of
time shall in such case be included in computing any interest if payable along
with such payment.

         SECTION 3.5       Crediting of Payments and Proceeds. In the event
that any Borrower shall fail to pay any of the Obligations when due and the
Obligations have been accelerated pursuant to Section 10.2, all payments
received by the Lenders upon the Notes and the other Obligations and all net
proceeds from the enforcement of the Obligations shall be first applied to all
Administrative Agent's fees and expenses then due and payable, then to all other
expenses then due and payable by the Borrowers hereunder, then to all indemnity
obligations then due and payable by the Borrowers hereunder, then to all
Facility Fee and other fees and commissions then due and payable, then to
accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes, then to the principal amount of the
Notes (pro rata in accordance with all amounts due), and any termination
payments due in respect of a Hedging Agreement with any Lender (pro rata in
accordance with all such amounts due), in that order.

         SECTION 3.6       Nature of Obligations of Lenders Regarding Loans;
Assumption by Administrative Agent. The obligations of the Lenders under this
Agreement to make the Loans and to purchase participation interests in Swingline
Loans, Letters of Credit and European Swingline Loans pursuant to the provisions
of this agreement are several and are not joint or joint and several. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender


                                      -47-
<PAGE>

prior to a proposed borrowing date that such Lender will not make available to
the Administrative Agent such Lender's ratable portion of the amount to be
borrowed on such date (which notice shall not release such Lender of its
obligations hereunder), the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has
made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the proposed
borrowing date in accordance with Section 2.2 and the Administrative Agent may,
in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers on such date a
corresponding amount. If such amount is made available to the Administrative
Agent on a date after such borrowing date, such Lender shall pay to the
Administrative Agent on demand an amount, until paid, equal to such Lender's
applicable Commitment Percentage of such borrowing and interest thereon at a
rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Rate during such period
as determined by the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative
Agent with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive,
absent manifest error. If such Lender's applicable Commitment Percentage of such
borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender
within three (3) Business Days of such borrowing date, the Administrative Agent
shall be entitled to recover such amount made available by the Administrative
Agent with interest thereon at the rate per annum then applicable to such Loan
hereunder, on demand, from the applicable Borrower or Borrowers. The failure of
any Lender to make its applicable Commitment Percentage of any Loan available
shall not relieve it or any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to
make its applicable Commitment Percentage of such Loan available on such
borrowing date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other
Lender to make its applicable Commitment Percentage of such Loan available on
the borrowing date.

         SECTION 3.7       Changed Circumstances.

         (a)      Circumstances Affecting Foreign Currency and LIBOR Rate
Availability. If the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any Loan Office shall
determine that by reason of circumstances affecting the foreign exchange and
interbank markets generally, LIBOR deposits or deposits in the Alternative
Currency are not being offered to the Person, then such Person shall forthwith
give notice thereof to AHL. Thereafter, until such Person notifies AHL that such
circumstances no longer exist, the obligation of the Person to make the affected
Loan, and the right of each of the Borrowers to convert any Loan to the affected
Loan or to continue any Foreign Currency Loan or LIBOR Rate Loan or otherwise
defer payment of any Loan, shall be suspended, and each of the Borrowers shall
repay in full (or cause to be repaid in full) the then-outstanding principal
amount of each such Loan, together with accrued interest thereon and any
payments required by Section 3.8 hereof.

         (b)      Laws Affecting Foreign Currency and LIBOR Rate Availability.
If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, or any change in, any Applicable
Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any
Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Administrative
Agent, any Lender or any Loan Office with any request or directive (whether or
not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or
comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for the Administrative
Agent, any Lender, or any Loan Office to honor its obligations hereunder to make
or maintain any Foreign Currency Loan or LIBOR Rate Loan, then such Person shall
forthwith give notice thereof to AHL on behalf of the Borrowers. Thereafter,
until such Person notifies AHL on behalf of the Borrowers that such


                                      -48-
<PAGE>

circumstances no longer exist, the obligation of the Person to make the affected
Loan, and the right of each of the Borrowers to convert any Loan to the affected
Loan or to continue any Foreign Currency Loan or LIBOR Rate Loan or otherwise
defer payment of any Loan, shall be suspended, and each of the Borrowers shall
repay in full (or cause to be repaid in full) the then-outstanding principal
amount of each such Loan, together with accrued interest thereon and any
payments required by Section 3.8 hereof.

         (c)      Increased Costs. If, after the date hereof, the introduction
of, or any change in, any Applicable Law, or in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable
agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance
by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or the European Swingline Lender (or
any Loan Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force
of law) of such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency:

                  (i)      shall subject the Administrative Agent, any Lender,
         or the European Swingline Lender (or any Loan Office) to any tax, duty
         or other charge with respect to any Foreign Currency Loan, LIBOR Rate
         Loan, any Letter of Credit, or any Note or shall change the basis of
         taxation of payments to the Lender (or any Loan Office) of the
         principal of or interest on any Foreign Currency Loan, LIBOR Rate Loan,
         any Letter of Credit, or the Note or any other amounts due under this
         Agreement in respect thereof (except for changes in the rate of tax or
         any tax, duty, or other charge imposed on the overall net income of the
         Administrative Agent, any Lender, or the European Swingline Lender or
         any Loan Office imposed by the jurisdiction in which the Administrative
         Agent, any Lender, or the European Swingline Lender is organized or is
         or should be qualified to do business or such Loan Office is located);
         or

                  (ii)     shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve
         (including, without limitation, any imposed by the Bank of England or
         Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), special deposit,
         insurance or capital or similar requirement against assets of, deposits
         with or for the account of, or credit extended by the Administrative
         Agent, any Lender, or the European Swingline Lender(or any Loan Office)
         or shall impose on the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or the
         European Swingline Lender or any Loan Office or the foreign exchange
         and interbank markets any other condition affecting any Foreign
         Currency Loan, LIBOR Rate Loan, any Letter of Credit, or the Note; and
         the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the costs to the
         Lender of maintaining any Foreign Currency Loan, LIBOR Rate Loan, or
         Letter of Credit (after consideration of any changes in the Reserve
         Percentage) or to reduce the yield or amount of any sum received or
         receivable by the Lender under this Agreement or under the Note in
         respect of a Foreign Currency Loan, LIBOR Rate Loan, or Letter of
         Credit, then the affected Person shall promptly notify AHL of such fact
         and demand compensation therefor and, within fifteen (15) days after
         such notice, each of the Borrowers shall pay to such Person such
         additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Person for such
         increased cost or reduction. The Administrative Agent will promptly
         notify AHL of any event of which it has knowledge that will entitle any
         Person to compensation pursuant to this Section 3.7(c); provided, that
         the Administrative Agent shall incur no liability whatsoever to any of
         the Borrowers in the event it fails to do so. A certificate of the
         Administrative Agent setting forth the basis for determining such
         additional amount or


                                      -49-
<PAGE>

         amounts necessary to compensate the any Person shall be conclusively
         presumed to be correct absent manifest error. If any Person claims
         compensation under this Section, each of the Borrowers may at any time,
         upon at least four (4) Business Days' prior notice to the
         Administrative Agent, pay in full the affected Loan or substitute a
         letter of credit issued other than pursuant to this Agreement.

         SECTION 3.8       Indemnity. Each of the Borrowers does hereby
indemnify each of the Administrative Agent, any Lender, and the European
Swingline Lender against any loss or expense (including without limitation any
foreign exchange costs) which may arise or be attributable to the Lender's
obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds acquired to effect,
fund or maintain the Loans or the Issuing Bank's issuance or honor of a Letter
of Credit (i) as a consequence of any failure by any of the Borrowers to make
any payment when due of any amount due hereunder in connection with a Foreign
Currency Loan or a LIBOR Rate Loan, (ii) due to any failure of any of the
Borrowers to borrow on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or
Notice of Continuation/Conversion with respect to any Foreign Currency Loan or a
LIBOR Rate Loan or (iii) due to any payment, prepayment or conversion of any
Foreign Currency Loan or LIBOR Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of
the Interest Period therefor. The Lender's calculations of any such loss or
expense shall be furnished to each of the Borrowers and shall be presumed to be
correct, absent manifest error.

         SECTION 3.9       Capital Requirements. If either (i) the introduction
of, or any change in, or in the interpretation of, any Applicable Law or (ii)
compliance with any guideline or request after the Closing Date from any central
bank or comparable agency or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having
the force of law), has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return
on the capital of, or has affected or would affect the amount of capital
required to be maintained by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the
European Swingline Lender or any corporation controlling such Person as a
consequence of, or with reference to the Commitment and other commitments of
this type, below the rate which the Person or such other corporation could have
achieved but for such introduction, change or compliance, then within five (5)
Business Days after written demand by any such Lender, each of the Borrowers
shall pay to such Person from time to time as specified by the Person additional
amounts sufficient to compensate (after consideration of any change in the
Reserve Percentage) the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or the European
Swingline Lender or other corporation for such reduction. A certificate as to
such amounts submitted to each of the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent, any
Lender, or the European Swingline Lender shall, in the absence of manifest
error, be presumed to be correct and binding for all purposes.

         SECTION 3.10      Taxes; Currency.

         (a)      Payments Free and Clear. Any and all payments by each of the
Borrowers hereunder or under the Note shall be made free and clear of and
without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts,
deductions, charges or withholding, and all liabilities with respect thereto
excluding income and franchise taxes imposed by the jurisdiction under the laws
of which the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or the European Swingline Lender
is organized or is or should be qualified to do business or any political
subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions,
charges, with each of the Borrowers and liabilities being hereinafter referred
to as "Taxes"). If any of the Borrowers shall be required by


                                      -50-
<PAGE>

law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under
any Note to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or the European Swingline
Lender, (A) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after
making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional
sums payable under this Section 3.10) the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or
the European Swingline Lender receives an amount equal to the amount the Lender
would have received had no such deductions been made, (B) such Borrower shall
make such deductions, (C) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to
the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with Applicable
Law, and (D) such Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, any
Lender, or the European Swingline Lender evidence of such payment to the
relevant taxing authority or other authority in the manner provided in Section
3.10(d).

         (b)      Stamp and Other Taxes. In addition, each of the Borrowers
shall pay any present or future stamp, registration, recordation or documentary
taxes or any other similar fees or charges or excise or property taxes, levies
of the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof or any
applicable foreign jurisdiction which arise from any payment made hereunder or
from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to,
this Agreement, the Loans, the other Loan Documents, or the perfection of any
rights in respect thereto (hereinafter referred to as "Other Taxes").

         (c)      Indemnity. Each of the Borrowers shall and does hereby
indemnify the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or the European Swingline Lender
for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any
Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this
Section 3.10) paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may
be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising
therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were
correctly or legally asserted. Such indemnification shall be made within thirty
(30) days from the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or
the European Swingline Lender (as the case may be) makes written demand
therefor.

         (d)      Evidence of Payment. Within ten (10) days after the date of
any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes, the affected Borrower shall furnish to the
Administrative Agent, any Lender, or the European Swingline Lender, at its
address referred to in Section 12.1, the original or a certified copy of a
receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence of payment satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent, the Lender, or the European Swingline Lender

         (e)      If any Lender is incorporated or organized under the laws of a
jurisdiction other than the United States of America or any state thereof (a
"Non-U.S. Lender"), such Non-U.S. Lender will deliver to each of the
Administrative Agent and each of the Borrowers, on or prior to the Closing Date
(or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that becomes a party to this Agreement as
a result of an assignment after the Closing Date, on the effective date of such
assignment), (i) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is a "bank" for purposes
of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a properly completed
Internal Revenue Service Form 4224 or 1001, as applicable (or successor forms),
certifying that such Non-U.S. Lender is entitled to an exemption from or a
reduction of withholding or deduction for or on account of United States federal
income taxes in connection with payments under this Agreement or any of the
Notes, together with a properly completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or
W-9, as applicable (or


                                      -51-
<PAGE>

successor forms), and (ii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is not a "bank"
for purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a certificate
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and each of the
Borrowers and to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender (x) is not a "bank" for
purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, is not subject to
regulatory or other legal requirements as a bank in any jurisdiction, and has
not been treated as a bank for purposes of any tax, securities law or other
filing or submission made to any governmental authority, any application made to
a rating agency or qualification for any exemption from any tax, securities law
or other legal requirements, (y) is not a 10-percent shareholder for purposes of
Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code and (z) is not a controlled
foreign corporation receiving interest from a related person for purposes of
Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code, together with a properly
completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9, as applicable (or successor
forms). Each such Non-U.S. Lender further agrees to deliver to each of the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower an additional copy of each such relevant
form on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete or after
the occurrence of any event (including a change in its applicable Loan Office)
requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, in each case
certifying that such Non-U.S. Lender is entitled to an exemption from
withholding or deduction for or on account of United States federal income taxes
in connection with payments under this Agreement or any of the Notes, unless an
event (including, without limitation, any change in treaty, law or regulation)
has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be
required, which event renders all such forms inapplicable or the exemption to
which such forms relate unavailable and such Non-U.S. Lender notifies the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower that it is not entitled to receive
payments without deduction or withholding of United States federal income taxes.
Each such Non-U.S. Lender will promptly notify the Administrative Agent and each
of the Borrowers of any changes in circumstances that would modify or render
invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.

         (f)      Survival. Without prejudice to the survival of any other
agreement of each of the Borrowers hereunder, the agreements and obligations of
each of the Borrowers contained in this Section 3.10 shall survive the payment
in full of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments.

         (g)      Failure to Pay in Foreign Currency. If any of the Borrowers is
unable for any reason to effect payment of a Loan or to reimburse a drawing
under the Letter of Credit in the Alternative Currency as required by this
Agreement, the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank, any Lender, or the European
Swingline Lender may require such payment to be made in Dollars in the Assigned
Dollar Value of such payment. In any case in which each of the Borrowers shall
make such payment in Dollars, such Borrower agrees to hold the Administrative
Agent, Issuing Bank, any Lender, or the European Swingline Lender harmless from
any loss incurred by the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank, any Lender, or the
European Swingline Lender arising from any change in the value of Dollars in
relation to such Alternative Currency between the date such payment became due
and the date of payment thereof. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, if any of the Borrowers is unable for any reason to effect payment of
a Loan in the Alternative Currency as required by this Agreement or if any of
the Borrowers shall default in the payment of any Foreign Currency Loan under
the Revolving Facility, then the Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested,
and Lenders shall be deemed to have extended, a Base Rate


                                      -52-
<PAGE>

Loan under the Revolving Facility in an amount sufficient to purchase an amount
of the Alternative Currency sufficient to repay such Foreign Currency Loan in
full.

         (h)      Judgment Currency. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in
any court or enforcing any such judgment it is necessary to convert any amount
due in any Alternative Currency into any other currency, the rate of exchange
used shall be the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or the European Swingline
Lender's spot rate of exchange for the purchase of the Alternative Currency with
such other currency at the close of business on the Business Day preceding the
date on which judgment is given or any order for payment is made. The obligation
of each of the Borrowers in respect of any amount due from it hereunder shall,
notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum or sums in respect of
amounts due hereunder or under any judgment or order in any other currency or
otherwise, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following
receipt by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or the European Swingline
Lender of any payment in a currency other than the Alternative Currency, the
Administrative Agent, any Lender, or the European Swingline Lender is able (in
accordance with normal banking procedures) to purchase the Alternative Currency,
with such other currency. If the amount of the Alternative Currency that the
Administrative Agent, any Lender, or the European Swingline Lender is able to
purchase with such other currency is less than the amount due in the relevant
Alternative Currency, notwithstanding any judgment or order, each of the
Borrower shall indemnify the Lender for the shortfall.

                  (i)      United Kingdom Tax Forms.

                  (A)      Each Lender that is not a United Kingdom Bank (as
         defined in Section 840A of the United Kingdom Income and Corporation
         Taxes Act of 1988) subject to United Kingdom corporation tax as
         respects interest payments to it pursuant to this Agreement (each a
         "Non-U.K. Bank") shall deliver to the United Kingdom Inland Revenue
         (whether directly, through the United States Internal Revenue Service
         or such other appropriate channels), with copies sent contemporaneously
         therewith to AHL and the Administrative Agent, within seven (7)
         Business Days after it becomes a Lender hereunder, a form 13-D or such
         other appropriate official form (each, a "U.K. Tax Form") duly
         completed and signed by such Lender establishing that such Non-U.K.
         Bank is entitled to exemption (regardless of such Lender's Lending
         Office) from United Kingdom tax treaty with the appropriate
         jurisdiction, or establishing that it is otherwise entitled to receive
         payments without such withholdings; provided, however, that no Non-U.K.
         Bank shall be required to furnish any such documentation under this
         subparagraph (A) if it is not entitled to claim an exemption from or
         reduced rate of withholding under applicable law. At any time a
         Non-U.K. Bank is not entitled to claim an exemption from or a reduced
         rate of withholding under applicable law, such Non-U.K. Bank shall so
         inform AHL the Administrative Agent.

                  (B)      Each Lender that is a United Kingdom Bank (as defined
         in Section 840A of the United Kingdom Income and Corporation Taxes Act
         of 1988) (each a "U.K. Bank") shall complete and deliver to AHL and the
         Administrative Agent a statement signed by an authorized signatory of
         such U.K. bank, and other documentation reasonably required to the
         effect that it is subject to United Kingdom corporation tax on interest
         payable to it pursuant to this Agreement.


                                      -53-
<PAGE>

                  (C)      No Borrower shall be required to pay any additional
         amount to any Non-U.K. Bank or U.K. Bank in respect of United Kingdom
         withholding taxes under this Section 3.10(i) if such Lender shall have
         failed to deliver (1) the U.K. Tax Form as required under subparagraph
         (A) in the case of a Non-U.K. Bank, or (2) the statement and other
         documentation under subparagraph (B) in the case of a U.K. Bank;
         provided, however, that if a Non-U.K. Bank shall not have a Lending
         Office in the United Kingdom and shall not be entitled to an exemption
         from United Kingdom withholding tax under a treaty, each as of the time
         of a given payment by any Borrower hereunder, then Section 3.10(a)
         shall not apply with respect to such payment.

         SECTION 3.11      Special Lenders. Unless the Required Lenders seek
indemnification, payment, or reimbursement under, or invoke the provisions of,
Sections 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, or 3.10, if any Borrower is obligated to pay to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender any amount under said Sections, the Borrowers
may, so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, replace such Lender
with a new Lender reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, and such
Lender hereby agrees to be so replaced subject to the following:

                  (a)      the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder to the
         Lender to be replaced (including such increased or additional costs
         incurred from the date of notice to the Borrowers of such increase or
         additional costs through the date such Lender is replaced hereunder)
         shall be paid in full to such Lender concurrently with such
         replacement;

                  (b)      The replacement Lender shall be a Lender that is not
         subject to the increased costs arising under such Sections which may
         have effectuated the Borrower's election to replace any Lender
         hereunder;

                  (c)      Each such replacement Lender shall execute and
         deliver to the Administrative Agent such documentation reasonably
         satisfactory to the Administrative Agent pursuant to which such Lender
         is to become a party hereto with a Commitment equal to that of the
         Lender being replaced and shall make a Loan or Loans in the aggregate
         principal amount equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of
         the Loan or Loans of the Lender being replaced;

                  (d)      Upon such execution of such documents referred to in
         clause (c) and repayment of the amounts referred to in clause (a), the
         replacement Lender shall be a "Lender" with a Commitment as specified
         hereinabove and the Lender being replaced shall cease to be a "Lender"
         hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this
         Agreement, which shall survive as to such replaced Lender;

                  (e)      The Administrative Agent shall reasonably cooperate
         in effectuating the replacement of any Lender hereunder, but at no time
         shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to initiate any such
         replacement; and

                  (f)      Any Lender replaced hereunder shall be replaced at
         the Borrower's sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the
         Administrative Agent.

                   REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF BORROWERS

         SECTION 5.1       Representations and Warranties. To induce the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to induce
the Lenders and the European Swingline Lender to make the Loans and the Issuing
Bank to issue, extend and renew the Letters of Credit, the Borrowers hereby
jointly and severally represent and warrant to the Administrative Agent, the
Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the European Swingline Lender that:

         (a)      Organization; Power; Qualification. Each of AHL and its
Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation, has the power and
authority to own its properties and to carry on its business as now being
conducted and is duly qualified and authorized to do business in each
jurisdiction where the failure to be so qualified or authorized could reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The jurisdictions in which AHL
and its Subsidiaries are organized and qualified to do business as of the
Effective Date are described on Schedule 5.1(a). The address of the chief
executive office and principal place of business of each Borrower as of the
Effective Date is set forth on Schedule 5.1(a) hereto. Prior to the Closing
Date, Verfurth Dortmund and Verfurth Osnabruck merged with and into Munster,
with Munster being the surviving entity of such merger. Prior to the Closing
Date, Schulbert merged with and into Bocholt with Bocholt being the surviving
entity of such merger. Set forth on Schedule 5.1(a) is a complete and correct
organizational chart for AHL and each of its domestic and foreign Subsidiaries.

         (b)      Ownership. As of the Closing Date, (i) each Subsidiary of AHL
is listed on Schedule 5.1(b), (ii) the capitalization of each of the
Subsidiaries of AHL consists of the number of shares, authorized, issued and
outstanding, of such classes and series, with or without par value, described on
Schedule 5.1(b), (iii) all outstanding shares have been duly authorized and
validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable, (iv) the shareholders of
each of the Subsidiaries of AHL and the number of shares owned by each are
described on Schedule 5. 1 (b), (v) there are no outstanding stock purchase
warrants, subscriptions, options, securities, instruments or other rights of any
type or nature whatsoever, which are convertible into, exchangeable for or
otherwise provide for or permit the issuance of capital stock of any
Subsidiaries of AHL, except as described on Schedule 5.1(b), and (vi) Schedule
5.1(b) identifies each Material Subsidiary of AHL.


                                      -57-
<PAGE>

         (c)      Authorization of Agreement, Loan Documents and Borrowing. Each
of AHL and its Subsidiaries has the right, power and authority and has taken all
necessary corporate and other action to authorize the execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents to which it
is a party in accordance with their respective terms. This Agreement and each of
the other Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by the duly
authorized officers of AHL and each of its Subsidiaries party thereto and each
such document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of AHL or its
Subsidiary party thereto, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as
such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or similar state or federal debtor relief laws from time to time in
effect which affect the enforcement of creditors' rights in general and the
availability of equitable remedies.

         (d)      Compliance of Agreement, Loan Documents and Borrowing with
Laws, Etc. The execution, delivery and performance by AHL and each of its
Subsidiaries of the Loan Documents to which each such Person is a party in
accordance with their respective terms, the borrowings hereunder and the
transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not, by the passage of time,
the giving of notice or otherwise, (i) except as set forth on Schedule 5.1(d)
hereto, require any Governmental Approval or violate any Applicable Law relating
to AHL or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of or
constitute a default under the articles of incorporation, bylaws or other
organizational documents of AHL or any of its Subsidiaries or any Material
Contract to which such Person is a party or by which any of its properties may
be bound or any Governmental Approval relating to such Person or (iii) result in
or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon or with respect to any
material property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Person other than
Liens arising under the Loan Documents.

         (e)      Compliance with Law; Governmental Approvals. Each of AHL and
its Subsidiaries (i) has all Governmental Approvals required by any Applicable
Law material to the conduct of its business and (ii) is in compliance with each
such Governmental Approval applicable to it and in compliance with all other
Applicable Laws relating to it or any of its respective properties, except where
the failure to be in such compliance could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. Each such Governmental Approval is in full force and
effect, is final and not subject to review on appeal and is not the subject of
any pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrowers, threatened attack by
direct or collateral proceeding.

         (f)      Tax Returns and Payments. Each of AHL and its Subsidiaries has
duly filed or caused to be filed all federal, state, local and other tax returns
required by Applicable Law to be filed, and has paid, or made adequate provision
for the payment of, all federal, state, local and other taxes, assessments and
governmental charges or levies upon it and its property, income, profits and
assets which are due and payable, except where the payment of such tax is being
disputed in good faith and adequate reserves have been established in accordance
with GAAP. No Governmental Authority has asserted any Lien or other claim
against AHL or any Subsidiary thereof with respect to material unpaid taxes
which has not been discharged or resolved or is not being contested in good
faith. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of AHL and any of its
Subsidiaries in respect of federal, state, local and other taxes for all Fiscal
Years and portions thereof are in the judgment of the Borrowers adequate, and
the Borrowers do not anticipate any additional material taxes or assessments for
any of such years.

<PAGE>

         (g)      Environmental Matters. The properties of AHL and its
Subsidiaries are in compliance in all material respects with all applicable
Environmental Laws. There is no contamination at, under or about such properties
or such operations which could interfere in any material respect with the
continued operation of such properties or, except as set forth on Schedule
5.1(g), impair in any material respect the fair saleable value thereof. Neither
AHL nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written notice of material
violation, alleged violation, non-compliance, liability or potential liability
regarding environmental matters or compliance with Environmental Laws with
regard to any of its properties or the operations conducted in connection
therewith, nor does AHL nor any of its Subsidiaries have knowledge or reason to
believe that any such notice will be received or is being threatened.

         (h)      ERISA.

                  (i)      As of the Effective Date, neither any Borrower nor
         any ERISA Affiliate maintains or contributes to, or has any obligation
         under, any Employee Benefit Plans other than those identified on
         Schedule 5.1(h);

                  (ii)     Each Borrower and each ERISA Affiliate is in material
         compliance with all applicable provisions of ERISA and all other laws
         applicable to any Employee Benefit Plans and the regulations and
         published interpretations thereunder with respect to all Employee
         Benefit Plans except for any required amendments for which the remedial
         amendment period as defined in Section 401(b) of the Code has not yet
         expired. Each Employee Benefit Plan that is intended to be qualified
         under Section 401(a) of the Code has been determined by the Internal
         Revenue Service to be so qualified, and each trust related to such plan
         has been determined to be exempt under Section 501(a) of the Code. Each
         such Employee Benefit Plan has been operated in a manner to preserve
         such qualification. No liability has been incurred by any Borrower or
         any ERISA Affiliate which remains unsatisfied for any taxes or
         penalties with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan or any
         Multiemployer Plan;

                  (iii)    No Pension Plan has been terminated, nor has any
         accumulated funding deficiency (as defined in Section 412 of the Code)
         been incurred (without regard to any waiver granted under Section 412
         of the Code), nor has any funding waiver from the Internal Revenue
         Service been received or requested with respect to any Pension Plan,
         nor has any Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate failed to make any
         contributions or to pay any amounts due and owing as required by
         Section 412 of the Code, Section 302 of ERISA or the terms of any
         Pension Plan prior to the due dates of such contributions under Section
         412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA, nor has there been any event
         requiring any disclosure under Section 4041(c)(3)(C) or 4063(a) of
         ERISA with respect to any Pension Plan;

                  (iv)     Neither any Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has: (A)
         engaged in a nonexempt prohibited transaction described in Section 406
         of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code; (B) incurred any liability to the
         PBGC which remains outstanding other than the payment of premiums and
         there are no premium payments which are due and unpaid; (C) failed to
         make a required contribution or payment to a Multiemployer Plan; or (D)
         failed to make a required installment or other required payment under
         Section 412 of the Code;


                                      -59-
<PAGE>

                  (v)      The execution and delivery by Borrowers of this
         Agreement and the borrowings hereunder will not involve any prohibited
         transaction under ERISA or the Code;

                  (vi)     No Termination Event has occurred or is reasonably
         expected to occur; and

                  (vii)    No material proceeding, claim, lawsuit and/or
         investigation is existing or, to the best knowledge of any Borrower
         after due inquiry, threatened concerning or involving any (A) employee
         welfare benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) maintained
         or contributed to by any Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate, (B) Pension
         Plan or (C) Multiemployer Plan.

         (i)      Margin Stock. Neither AHL nor any Subsidiary thereof is
engaged principally or as one of its significant activities in the business of
extending credit for the purpose of "purchasing" or "carrying" any "margin
stock" (as each such term is defined or used in Regulation U of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System). No part of the proceeds of any of the
Loans will be used for purchasing or carrying margin stock or for any purpose
which violates, or which would be inconsistent with, the provisions of
Regulation T, U or X of such Board of Governors.

         (j)      Government Regulation. Neither AHL nor any Subsidiary thereof
is an "investment company" or a company "controlled" by an "investment company"
(as each such term is defined or used in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended) and neither AHL nor any Subsidiary thereof is, or after giving effect
to any Loan will be, a "Holding Company" or a "Subsidiary Company" of a "Holding
Company" or an "Affiliate" of a "Holding Company" within the respective meanings
of each of the quoted terms of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 as
amended, or any other Applicable Law which materially limits its ability to
incur or consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

         (k)      Patents, Copyrights and Trademarks. Each of AHL and its
Subsidiaries owns or possesses all patent, copyright and trademark rights which
are material to the conduct of its business without infringing upon any validly
asserted rights of others. No event has occurred which permits, or after notice
or lapse of time or both would permit, the revocation or termination of any such
rights. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.1(k), neither AHL nor any of its
Subsidiaries has been threatened with any litigation regarding patents,
copyrights or trademarks that would present a material impediment to the
business of AHL and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

         (l)      Material Contracts. Schedule 5.1(1) sets forth a complete and
accurate list of all Material Contracts of AHL and its Subsidiaries in effect as
of the Effective Date not listed on any other Schedule hereto; other than as set
forth in Schedule 5.1(1), each of AHL and any Subsidiary thereof party thereto
has performed all of its material obligations under such Material Contracts and,
to the best knowledge of the Borrowers, each other party thereto is in
compliance in all material respects with each such Material Contract, and each
such Material Contract is, and after giving effect to the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents will be, in full force and
effect in accordance with the terms thereof. AHL and its Subsidiaries


                                      -60-
<PAGE>

have delivered to the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of each
Material Contract required to be listed on Schedule 5.1(1).

         (m)      Employee Relations. As of the Effective Date, each of AHL and
its Subsidiaries is not, except as set forth on Schedule 5.1(m), party to any
collective bargaining agreement nor has any labor union been recognized as the
representative of its employees. AHL knows of no pending, threatened or
contemplated strikes, work stoppage or other collective labor disputes involving
its employees or those of its Subsidiaries.

         (n)      Burdensome Provisions. Neither AHL nor any Subsidiary thereof
is a party to any indenture, agreement, lease or other instrument, or subject to
any corporate or partnership restriction, Governmental Approval or Applicable
Law which is so unusual or burdensome as in the foreseeable future could be
reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. AHL and its Subsidiaries
do not presently anticipate that future expenditures needed to meet the
provisions of any statutes, orders, rules or regulations of a Governmental
Authority will be so burdensome as to have a Material Adverse Effect.

         (o)      Financial Statements. All balance sheets, statements of
income, retained earnings, stockholders' equity and cash flows, and all other
financial information of AHL and its Subsidiaries which have been furnished by
the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the purposes of or
in connection with this Agreement, including without limitation the financial
statements described in Section 4.2 (e), have been prepared in accordance with
GAAP consistently applied (except to the extent pro forma statements are based
upon reasonable estimates in accordance with Section 4.2(e)(ii)) throughout the
periods involved and present fairly in all material respects the matters
reflected therein subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to changes
resulting from normal year-end audit adjustments and items that would be
disclosed in footnotes to the audited statements. As of the Closing Date, except
as set forth on Schedule 5.1(o), neither AHL nor any of its Subsidiaries has any
contingent liability or liability for taxes, long-term leases or unusual forward
or long-term commitments which are not reflected in the financial statements
described above or in the notes thereto.

         (p)      No Material Adverse Change. Since December 31, 2001, there has
been no material adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise),
operations, properties, business or prospects of AHL and its Subsidiaries, taken
as a whole, including any event or condition that has had or is reasonably
likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

         (q)      Solvency. As of the Closing Date and after giving effect to
each Loan made hereunder, each of AHL and each of its Subsidiaries will be
Solvent.

         (r)      Titles to Properties. Each of AHL and its Subsidiaries has
such title to the real property owned or leased by it as is material to the
conduct of its business and good and marketable title to all of its personal
property material to its business as presently conducted, except such property
as has been disposed of by AHL or its Subsidiaries subsequent to such date which
dispositions have been in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise
expressly permitted hereunder. Schedule 5.1(r) hereto sets forth the address of
all real property owned or leased by a Borrower as of the Closing Date.


                                      -61-
<PAGE>

         (s)      Liens. None of the properties and assets of AHL or any
Subsidiary thereof is subject to any Lien, except in each case Permitted Liens.
No financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code of any state which
names AHL or any Subsidiary thereof or any of their respective trade names or
divisions as debtor and which has not been terminated, has been filed in any
state or other jurisdiction and neither AHL nor any Subsidiary thereof has
signed any such financing statement or any security agreement authorizing any
secured party thereunder to file any such financing statement, except to perfect
Permitted Liens. No filing or recording of any document or instrument under the
laws of the United Kingdom or the Federal Republic of Germany or any
jurisdiction thereof which names AHL or any Subsidiary thereof or any of their
respective trade names or divisions as debtor, chargor, assignor or mortgagor
and which has not been terminated, has been filed in the United Kingdom or the
Federal Republic of Germany or any jurisdiction thereof and neither AHL nor any
Subsidiary thereof has signed any pledge, mortgage, assignment, debenture or any
other form of security agreement authorizing any secured party thereunder to
file or record any such document, instrument or agreement, except to perfect
Permitted Liens.

         (t)      Debt and Contingent Obligations. Schedule 5.1(t) is a complete
and correct listing as of the Closing Date of all Debt and Contingent
Obligations of AHL and its Subsidiaries. Each of AHL and its Subsidiaries have
performed and are in material compliance with all of the terms of such Debt and
Contingent Obligations and all instruments and agreements relating thereto, and
no default or event of default, or event or condition which with notice or lapse
of time or both would constitute such a default or event of default on the part
of AHL or its Subsidiaries exists with respect to any such Debt or Contingent
Obligation.

         (u)      Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.1(u), as of the
Effective Date there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending nor, to the
knowledge of the Borrowers, threatened against or in any other way relating
adversely to or adversely affecting AHL or any Subsidiary thereof or any of
their respective properties in any court or before any arbitrator of any kind or
before or by any Governmental Authority which, if adversely determined, is
reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

         (v)      Franchise and License Fees. AHL and each of its Subsidiaries
have paid all material franchise, license or other fees and charges which have
become due pursuant to any Governmental Approval in respect of its business and
has made appropriate provision as is required by GAAP for any such fees and
charges which have accrued.

         (w)      Absence of Defaults. No event has occurred or is continuing
which constitutes a Default or an Event of Default, or which constitutes, or
which with the passage of time or giving of notice or both would constitute, a
default or event of default by AHL or any Subsidiary thereof under any Material
Contract or judgment, decree or order to which AHL or its Subsidiaries is a
party or by which AHL or its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties
may be bound.

         (x)      Accuracy and Completeness of Information. All written
information, reports and other papers and data produced by or on behalf of AHL
or any Subsidiary thereof and furnished to the Lenders were, at the time the
same were so furnished, complete and correct in all material respects. No
document furnished or written statement made to the Agents or the Lenders by AHL
or any Subsidiary thereof in connection with the negotiation, preparation or
execution of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents contains any untrue
statement of a fact material to the creditworthiness of


                                      -62-
<PAGE>

AHL or its Subsidiaries or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to
make the statements contained therein not misleading. AHL is not aware of any
facts which it has not disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent having a
Material Adverse Effect, or insofar as AHL can now foresee, could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

         (y)      Intentionally omitted.

         SECTION 5.2       Survival of Representations and Warranties, Etc. All
representations and warranties set forth in this Article V and all
representations and warranties contained in any certificate or in any of the
Loan Documents (including without limitation, any such representation or
warranty made in or in connection with any amendment thereto) shall constitute
representations and warranties made under this Agreement. All representations
and warranties made under this Agreement (a) shall be made or deemed to be made
at and as of the Closing Date, as of each borrowing date and as of the date of
the issuance, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit with the same effect
as if made on and as of the Closing Date, except to the extent that such
representations and warranties relate solely to another stated date, in which
case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct on and
as of such earlier date, (b) shall survive the Closing Date, and (c) shall not
be waived by the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any investigation
made by or on behalf of the Lenders or any borrowing hereunder.

existence and all rights, franchises, licenses and privileges material to the
conduct of its business, and qualify and remain qualified as a foreign
corporation and authorized to do business in each jurisdiction where its
business requires such qualification and authorization, if failure to qualify or
to remain so qualified would have or could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

         SECTION 7.2 Maintenance of Property. Protect and preserve all
properties useful in and material to its business, including material
copyrights, patents, trade names and trademarks; maintain in good working order
and condition (reasonable wear and tear excepted) all buildings, equipment and
other tangible real and personal property useful in and material to its
business; and from time to time make or cause to be made all renewals,
replacements and additions to such property necessary in the reasonable
judgement of such Borrower for the conduct of its business, so that the business
carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted
at all times.

         SECTION 7.3 Insurance. In addition to the requirements set forth in the
Security Documents, maintain insurance with financially sound and reputable
insurance companies against such risks and in such amounts as are customarily

<PAGE>

of and interest on the Loans and the Notes at the time outstanding, and all
other amounts owed to the Lenders, the European Swingline Lender, and to the
Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and
all other Obligations, to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the same shall
immediately become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other
notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived, anything in this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, and
terminate the Credit Facilities and the Commitments and any right of the

         (b)      Rights of Collection. Exercise on behalf of the Lenders all of
their other rights and remedies under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents

         SECTION 10.3 Rights and Remedies Cumulative; Non-Waiver; etc. The
enumeration of the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders set forth in this Agreement is not intended to be exhaustive and the
exercise by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of any right or remedy
shall not preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies, all of which
shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to any other right or remedy given
hereunder or under the Loan Documents or that may now or hereafter exist in law
or in equity or by suit or otherwise. No delay or failure to take action on the
part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or
privilege shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege or shall
be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default. No course of dealing
between the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders or their
respective agents or employees shall be effective to change, modify or discharge
any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or to
constitute a waiver of any Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth herein or in any other Loan Document, neither the
Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall exercise at any time during which no
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing any right or remedy with
respect to any of the Collateral, including, but not limited to, any right
granted in any Security Document to collect accounts receivable or to notify
account debtors.

         SECTION 10.4 Set-off. Except to the extent prohibited by law, in
addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law and not by
way of limitation of any such rights, upon and after the occurrence of any Event
of Default and during the continuance thereof, the Lenders and any assignee or
participant of a Lender in accordance with Section 12.7 are hereby authorized by
the Borrowers at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Borrowers
or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set
off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special,
time or demand, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by
certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, excluding government
securities required by Applicable Law to be held as security for worker's
compensation and similar claims and of whatever currency exchanged, if
necessary, at the Spot Rate to the currency of the Obligations) and any other
indebtedness at any time held


                                      -81-


<PAGE>


or owing by the Lenders, or any such assignee or participant to or for the
credit or the account of the Borrowers against and on account of the Obligations
then due and payable.

         SECTION 10.5 Adjustments. If any Lender (a "Benefitted Lender") shall
at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans, or interest
thereon, or if any Lender shall at any time receive any Collateral in respect to
its Loans (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off or otherwise) in a
greater proportion than any such payment to and Collateral received by any other
Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender's Loans, or interest thereon,
such Benefitted Lender shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law,
purchase for cash from the other Lenders such portion of each such other
Lender's Loans, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any
such Collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such
Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such Collateral or
proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, that if all or any portion
of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted
Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits
returned to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Borrowers
agree that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender's Loans may
exercise all rights of payment (including, without limitation, rights of
set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct
holder of such portion.

         SECTION 10.6 Consents. The Borrowers acknowledge that certain
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and
certain actions which may be taken by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in
the exercise of their respective rights under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents may require the consent of a Governmental Authority. If counsel to the
Administrative Agent reasonably determines that the consent of a Governmental
Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance
of any of the aforesaid documents or any documents delivered to the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders in connection therewith or as a result of
any action which may be taken pursuant thereto, then the Borrowers, at their
sole cost and expense, agree to use their reasonable best efforts to secure such
consent and to cooperate with the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in any
action commenced by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to secure such
consent.

                                   ARTICLE XI

Documents and the UK Security Documents (in such capacity, the "Security
Trustee") and authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into the German
Security Documents and the UK Security Documents on its behalf and to take such
action on its behalf and to exercise and enforce such rights, powers and
discretions as are expressly or by implication delegated to the Administrative
Agent by the terms of this Agreement, the German Security Documents and the


                                      -82-


<PAGE>


UK Security Documents and such rights and discretions as are reasonably
incidental thereto. The duties and functions of the Administrative Agent and the
Security Trustee shall be of an administrative nature only. Neither the
Administrative Agent nor the Security Trustee shall be deemed to be a trustee of
any Lender except as specified in this Agreement, the German Security Documents
and the UK Security Documents, nor shall the Administrative Agent or the
Security Trustee be deemed to be an agent or trustee of the Borrowers for any
purpose. The Security Trustee shall have no duties or obligations except those
expressly set out in this Agreement, the German Security Documents and the UK
Security Documents.

         SECTION 11.2 Nature of Duties. The Administrative Agent shall have no
duties or responsibilities other than those expressly set forth in this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall not have,
by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, a fiduciary relationship
in respect of any Lender; and nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, express or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to
impose upon the Administrative Agent any obligations or liabilities in respect
of this Agreement or any other Loan Document except as expressly set forth
herein or therein. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents or
attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct
of any agents or attorneys-in-fact that it selects with reasonable care. The
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to consult with legal counsel,
independent public accountants and other experts selected by it with respect to
all matters pertaining to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and its
duties hereunder and thereunder and shall not be liable for any action taken or
omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such
counsel, accountants or experts. The Lenders hereby acknowledge that the
Administrative Agent shall not be under any duty to take any discretionary
action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement
or any other Loan Document unless it shall be requested in writing to do so by
the Required Lenders (or, where a higher percentage of the Lenders is expressly
required hereunder, such Lenders).

         SECTION 11.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent
nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or
Affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it
or such Person under or in connection with the Loan Documents, except for its or
such Person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct, (ii) responsible in
any manner to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information,
representations or warranties herein or in any other Loan Document or in any
document, instrument, certificate, report or other writing delivered in
connection herewith or therewith, for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness,
validity, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, or for the financial condition of Borrowers or any of their
Subsidiaries or any other Person, or (iii) required to ascertain or make any
inquiry concerning the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions
or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the existence or
possible existence of any Default or Event of Default, or to inspect the
properties, books or records of the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries.

         SECTION 11.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent
shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any
notice, statement, consent or other communication (including, without
limitation, any thereof by telephone,


                                      -83-


<PAGE>


telecopy, telex, telegram or cable) believed by it in good faith to be genuine
and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or
Persons. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat each Lender as the owner of
its interest hereunder for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice
of the assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been given to the
Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from taking or omitting to
take any action in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (i)
if such action or omission would, in the reasonable opinion of the
Administrative Agent, violate any applicable law or any provision of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or (ii) unless and until it shall have
received such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, where a higher
percentage of the Lenders is expressly required hereunder, such Lenders) as it
deems appropriate or it shall first have been indemnified to its satisfaction by
the Lenders against any and all liability and expense (other than liability and
expense arising from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct) that may be
incurred by it by reason of taking, continuing to take or omitting to take any
such action. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of
action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the
Administrative Agent's acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any
other Loan Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders
(or, where a higher percentage of the Lenders is expressly required hereunder,
such Lenders), and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act
pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders (including all
subsequent Lenders).

         SECTION 11.5 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.
Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any
of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates
has made any representation or warranty to it and that no act by the
Administrative Agent or any such Person hereafter taken, including any review of
the affairs of AHL and its Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any
representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each
Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that (i) it has, independently and
without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on
such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations,
properties, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of AHL and its
Subsidiaries and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and extend
credit to the Borrowers hereunder, and (ii) it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such
documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to
make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking
action hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and to make such
investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business,
prospects, operations, properties, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of AHL and its Subsidiaries. Except as expressly provided in
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have
no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide
any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business,
prospects, operations, properties, financial or other condition or
creditworthiness of AHL or its Subsidiaries or any other Person that may at any
time come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its
officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

<PAGE>


         SECTION 11.6 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be
deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of
Default unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from
Borrowers or a Lender referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or
Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default." In the
event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative
Agent will give notice thereof to the Lenders as soon as reasonably practicable;
provided, however, that if any such notice has also been furnished to the
Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to notify the Lenders
with respect thereto. The Administrative Agent shall (subject to Sections 11.4
and 12.10) take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as
shall reasonably be directed by the Required Lenders; provided that, unless and
until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the
Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or
refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of
Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

         SECTION 11.7 Indemnification. To the extent the Administrative Agent is
not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrowers, and without limiting the joint and
several obligations of Borrowers to do so, the Lenders (i) shall and do hereby
indemnify the Administrative Agent and its officers, directors, employees,
agents, attorneys-in-fact and Affiliates, ratably in proportion to their
respective percentages as used in determining the Required Lenders as of the
date of determination, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses
(including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses) or disbursements
of any kind or nature whatsoever that may at any time (including at any time
following the repayment in full of the Loans and the termination of the
Commitments) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative
Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by
the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing, and
(ii) shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand, ratably in proportion
to their respective percentages as used in determining the Required Lenders as
of the date of determination, for any expenses incurred by the Administrative
Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery,
administration, amendment, modification, waiver or enforcement (whether through
negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of
rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses and compensation of agents and employees paid for services rendered on
behalf of the Lenders); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for
any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent
resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be
indemnified.

         SECTION 11.8 The Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. With
respect to its Commitment, the Loans made by it and the Note or Notes issued to
it, the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity and not as
Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under the Loan
Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not
performing the agency duties specified herein; and the terms "Lenders,"
"Required Lenders," "holders of Notes" and any similar terms shall, unless the
context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its
individual capacity. The Administrative Agent


                                      -85-


<PAGE>


and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage
in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with the
Borrowers, any of their Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates as if
the Administrative Agent were not performing the agency duties specified herein,
and may accept fees and other consideration from any of them for services in
connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the
same to the Lenders.

         SECTION 11.9 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent
may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the
Borrowers and the Lenders. Upon any such notice of resignation, the Required
Lenders will, with the prior written consent of the Borrowers (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint from among the Lenders a
successor to the Administrative Agent (provided that the Borrowers' consent
shall not be required in the event a Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing). If no successor to the Administrative Agent shall
have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such
appointment within such thirty-day period, then the retiring Administrative
Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and after consulting with the Lenders and
the Borrowers, appoint a successor Administrative Agent from among the Lenders.
Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor
Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties
of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent
shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents. After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation as
Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XI shall inure to its
benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was
Administrative Agent. If no successor to the Administrative Agent has accepted
appointment as Administrative Agent by the thirtieth (30th) day following a
retiring Administrative Agent's notice of resignation, the retiring
Administrative Agent's resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become
effective, and the Lenders shall thereafter perform all of the duties of the
Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents until such
time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent
as provided for hereinabove.

                                  ARTICLE XII

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         SECTION 12.1 Notices.

         (a) Method of Communication. Except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, all notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing, or by
telephone subsequently confirmed in writing. Any notice shall be effective if
delivered by hand delivery or sent via telecopy, recognized overnight courier
service or certified mail, return receipt requested, and shall be presumed to be
received by a party hereto (i) on the date of delivery if delivered by hand or
sent by telecopy, (ii) on the next Business Day if sent by recognized overnight
courier service and (iii) on the third Business Day following the date sent by
certified mail, return receipt requested. A telephonic notice to any Agent as
understood by such Agent will be deemed to be the controlling and proper notice
in the event of a discrepancy with or failure to receive a confirming written
notice.

Borrowers and Lenders, as the Administrative Agent's office referred to herein.

         SECTION 12.2 Expenses. The Borrowers will pay all out-of-pocket
expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with: (a) the preparation,
execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and each of the other
Loan Documents, whenever the same shall be executed and delivered, including all
syndication and due diligence expenses, appraiser's fees, search fees, recording
fees, taxes and reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the

administration of any waiver, amendment or consent by the Administrative Agent
or the Lenders relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents
including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative

which expenses shall include the reasonable fees and disbursements of such
Persons. In addition, the Borrowers will pay all out-of-pocket expenses of the

any claim in any way arising out of, related to, connected with, or enforcing
any provision of, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, which
expenses shall include the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and of
experts and other consultants retained by the Administrative Agent or any of the

         SECTION 12.3 Governing Law. This Agreement, the Notes and the other

by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia,
without reference to the conflicts or choice of law principles thereof.

consent to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in
Fulton County, Georgia, in any action, claim or other proceeding arising out of
any dispute in connection with this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan

of such rights and obligations. The Borrowers hereby irrevocably consent to the
service of a summons and compliant and other process in any action, claim or
proceeding brought by any Agent or Lender in connection with this Agreement, the
Notes or the other Loan Documents, any rights or obligations hereunder or
thereunder, or the performance of such rights and obligations, on behalf of
itself or its property, in the manner specified in Section 12.1. Each of the
Borrowers (other than AHL) hereby irrevocably appoints AHL as its agent to
receive on its behalf service of copies of the summons and complaint or any
other process that may be served in any such action or proceedings at the
address of AHL as specified in Section 12.1. Such service may be made by mailing
or delivering a copy of such process to such Borrowers in care of AHL, as agent

                                      -88-


<PAGE>


as specified in Section 12.1, and each of the Borrowers (other than AHL) hereby
irrevocably authorizes and directs AHL, as agent for service of process, to
receive such service on its behalf. Nothing in this Section 12.4 shall affect
the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to serve legal process in
any other manner permitted by Applicable Law or to bring any action or
proceeding against any Borrower or its properties in the courts of any other
jurisdictions.

         SECTION 12.5 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, EACH LENDER AND EACH BORROWER HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY
ACTION, CLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF ANY DISPUTE IN CONNECTION WITH
THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, ANY RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS
HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER, OR THE PERFORMANCE OF SUCH RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS.

         SECTION 12.6 Reversal of Payment. To the extent any Borrower makes a
payment or payments to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the
Lenders or the Administrative Agent receives any payment or proceeds of the
Collateral which payments or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or
required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any
bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to
the extent of such payment or proceeds repaid, the Obligations or part thereof
intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect
as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Administrative
Agent.

         SECTION 12.7 Successors and Assigns; Participations.

         (a) Assignment by Lenders. Each Lender may assign to one or more other
Eligible Assignees (each, an "Assignee") all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a
portion of its Commitment, the outstanding Loans made by it and the Note or
Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) any such assignment (other than
an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender) shall not be made without
the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and, if no Event of
Default then exists, the Borrowers (to be evidenced by their counter execution
of the relevant Assignment and Acceptance), which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or
an Affiliate of a Lender, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender
being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of
the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to each such assignment) shall in no
event be less than the lesser of (y) the entire Commitment of such Lender
immediately prior to such assignment or (z) $5,000,000, and (iii) the parties to
each such assignment will execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for
its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance (an
"Assignment and Acceptance") in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto, together
with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment, and, except in the case of an
assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, will pay a nonrefundable
processing fee of $3,500 to the Administrative Agent for its own account. Upon
such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording of the Assignment and
Acceptance, from and after the effective date specified therein, which effective
date shall be at least five Business Days after the


                                      -89-


<PAGE>


execution thereof (unless the Administrative Agent shall otherwise agree), (A)
the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights
and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment
and Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender
hereunder with respect thereto and (B) the assigning Lender shall, to the extent
that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such
Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other than rights under the
provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents relating to
indemnification or payment of fees, costs and expenses, to the extent such
rights relate to the time prior to the effective date of such Assignment and
Acceptance) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in
the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion
of such assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such
Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). The terms and provisions of each
Assignment and Acceptance shall, upon the effectiveness thereof, be incorporated
into and made a part of this Agreement, and the covenants, agreements and
obligations of each Lender set forth therein shall be deemed made to and for the
benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other parties hereto as if set forth
at length herein.

         (b) Maintenance of the Register. The Administrative Agent will maintain
at its address for notices referred to herein a copy of each Assignment and
Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of
the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments of, and principal
amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time (the "Register").
The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes,
absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender
hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available
for inspection by Borrowers and each Lender at any reasonable time and from time
to time upon reasonable prior notice.

         (c) Acceptance of Assignment; Replacement Notes. Upon its receipt of a
duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an
Assignee and counter executed by the Borrowers (if required), together with any
Note or Notes subject to such assignment and the processing fee referred to in
subsection (a) above, the Administrative Agent will (i) accept such Assignment
and Acceptance, (ii) on the effective date thereof, record the information
contained therein in the Register and (iii) give notice thereof to the Borrowers
and the Lenders. Within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of such notice,
the Borrowers, at their own expense, will execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent in exchange for the surrendered Note or Notes a new Note or
Notes to the order of such Assignee in an aggregate principal amount equal to
the principal amount of the Commitment (or, if the Commitments have been
terminated, the principal amount of the Loans) assumed by it pursuant to such
Assignment and Acceptance and, to the extent the assigning Lender has retained
its Loans and/or Commitment hereunder, a new Note or Notes to the order of the
assigning Lender in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount
of the Commitment (or, if the Commitments have been terminated, the principal
amount of the Loans) retained by it hereunder. Such new Note or Notes shall be
dated the date of the replaced Note or Notes and shall otherwise be in
substantially the forms of the Notes attached hereto as Exhibits A-1 and A-2.
The Administrative Agent will return canceled Notes to the Borrowers.

         (d) Participations. Each Lender may, without the consent of the
Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, sell to one or more
other Persons (each, a


                                      -90-


<PAGE>


"Participant") participations in any portion comprising less than all of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, a
portion of its Commitment, the outstanding Loans made by it and the Note or
Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender's obligations under
this Agreement shall remain unchanged and such Lender shall remain solely
responsible for the performance of such obligations, (ii) any such participation
(other than a participation by Bank Leumi Le-Israel, B.M., Miami Agency to its
subsidiary Bank Leumi USA) shall be in an amount of not less than $5,000,000,
but no Lender shall sell any participation that, when taken together with all
other participations, if any, sold by such Lender, covers more than fifty
percent of the beneficial interests in all of such Lender's rights and
obligations under this Agreement, (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent
and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this
Agreement, and no Lender shall permit any Participant to have any voting rights
or any right to control the vote of such Lender with respect to any amendment,
modification, waiver, consent or other action hereunder or under any other Loan
Document (except as to actions that would (w) reduce or forgive the principal
amount of, or rate of interest (other than interest accruing as provided in
Section 3.1(f)) on, any Loan, or reduce or forgive any fees or other
Obligations, (x) extend any date (including without limitation, the Revolving
Facility Termination Date) fixed for the payment of any principal of or interest
on any Loan, any fees or any other Obligations, (y) release any material portion
of Collateral securing the Obligations (other than (1) upon termination of the
Commitments and payment and satisfaction of all Obligations (other than any
Obligations that survive the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section
12.12), (2) Collateral constituting property being sold or disposed of if
Borrowers certify to the Administrative Agent that the sale or disposition is
made in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Security
Documents, upon which certification the Administrative Agent may conclusively
rely in good faith, without further inquiry, or (3) otherwise in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement and the Security Documents), or (z) increase any
Commitment of any Lender), and (iv) except as expressly set forth in this
Agreement, no Participant shall have any rights under this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents, each Participant's rights against the granting Lender
in respect of any participation are to be those set forth in the participation
agreement, and all amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder shall be
determined as if such Lender had not granted such participation. Each
Participant may be entitled, pursuant to the terms of its participation
agreement, to compensation calculated in accordance with the provisions of
Sections 3.7, 3.8, 3.9 and 3.10 and to rights of setoff in accordance with
Section 10.4, in each case to the extent that the Lender from which it purchased
its participation would be entitled to such benefits if the participation had
not been made; provided that nothing contained herein shall cause the
Participant to be deemed to be a Lender or to otherwise be granted any rights
under this Agreement.

         (e) Other Assignments. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to
prohibit any Lender from pledging or assigning all or any portion of its rights
and interest hereunder or under any Note to any Federal Reserve Bank as security
for borrowings therefrom; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment
shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

         (f) Disclosure of Information; Confidentiality. The Administrative
Agent and the Lenders shall treat as confidential all non-public information,
including, without limitation, all financial projections, obtained pursuant to
the Loan Documents and shall disclose such


                                      -91-


<PAGE>

information outside their organizations only as may be deemed appropriate by any
of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in the exercise of its or their
rights under the Loan Documents or as compelled by judicial or administrative
process or by other requirements of Applicable Law or as requested by regulatory
authorities or pursuant to legal process. The Administrative Agent and any
Lender may, in connection with any assignment, proposed assignment,
participation or proposed participation pursuant to this Section 12.7, disclose
to the assignee, participant, proposed assignee or proposed participant, any
information relating to the Borrowers furnished to the Administrative Agent or
such Lender.

         SECTION 12.8 Amendments, Waivers and Consents: Renewal. Except as set
forth below, any term, covenant, agreement or condition of this Agreement or any
of the other Loan Documents may be amended or waived by the Lenders, and any
consent given by the Lenders, if, but only if, such amendment, waiver or consent
is in writing signed by the Required Lenders (or by the Administrative Agent
with the consent of the Required Lenders) and delivered to the Administrative
Agent and, in the case of an amendment, signed by the Borrowers; provided, that
no amendment, waiver or consent shall (a) increase the amount or extend the time
of the obligation of the Lenders to make Loans, provided, however, that the
Required Lenders may at any time, in their sole discretion (but shall be under
no obligation to), approve any increases requested by Borrowers in the amount of
the Aggregate Commitment above Three Hundred Seventy-Five Million Dollars
($375,000,000) without the approval of any other Lender or Lenders (but in no
event will any Lender's Commitment be increased without the prior written
consent of such Lender) so long as after giving effect to any such proposed
increase no Default or Event of Default has occurred and shall be continuing,
(b) extend the originally scheduled time or times of payment of the principal of
any Loan or the time or times of payment of interest on any Loan or any fees due
hereunder, (c) reduce the rate of interest or fees payable on any Loan (other
than interest accruing as provided in Section 3.1(f)), (d) permit any
subordination of the principal or interest on any Loan to any other Debt, (e)
release any material portion of the Collateral or Security Document (other than
(i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction of all
Obligations (other than any Obligations that survive the termination of this
Agreement pursuant to Section 12.12), (ii) Collateral constituting property
being sold or disposed of if Borrowers certify to the Administrative Agent that
the sale or disposition is made in compliance with the provisions of this
Agreement and the Security Documents, upon which certification the
Administrative Agent may conclusively rely in good faith, without further
inquiry, or (iii) as specifically permitted in this Agreement or the applicable
Security Document), (f) amend the provisions of this Section 12.8 or the
definition of Required Lenders, (g) amend the provisions of Section 3.5, (h)
change the provisions of Section 2.4(f) so that the percentage of the
Commitments allocated to each Lender is changed upon a reduction of the
Commitments, or (i) amend the definition of Alternative Currency, in each case,
without the prior written consent of each Lender. In addition, no amendment,
waiver or consent to the provisions of Article XI shall be made without the
written consent of the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the provisions of
this Section 12.8, a Lender party to a Hedging Agreement is not required to
obtain the consent of any other Lender in order to amend such Hedging Agreement,
or grant its consent or waiver with respect thereto.

         SECTION 12.9 Performance of Duties. The Borrowers' obligations under
this Agreement and each of the Loan Documents shall be performed at the joint
and several sole cost and expense of the Borrowers.

         SECTION 12.10 Indemnification. The Borrowers agree to reimburse the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders for all reasonable costs and expenses,
including reasonable counsel, appraisal, or other expert or consultant fees and
disbursements incurred, and the Borrowers hereby indemnify and hold the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless from and against all losses
suffered by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with (a) the
exercise by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of any right or remedy
granted to them under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (b) any
claim, and the prosecution or defense thereof, arising out of or in any way
connected with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and (c) the
collection or enforcement of the Obligations or any of them; provided, that the
indemnity contained herein shall not apply to the extent that such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or other expenses result from the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of such indemnified person.

         SECTION 12.11 All Powers Coupled with Interest. All powers of attorney
and other authorizations granted to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and
any Persons designated by the Administrative Agent or such Lenders pursuant to
any provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be
deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable so long as any of the
Obligations remain unpaid or unsatisfied or the Credit Facilities have not been
terminated.

         SECTION 12.12 Survival of Indemnities. Notwithstanding any termination
of this Agreement, the indemnities to which the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders are entitled under the provisions of this Article XII and any other
provision of this Agreement and the Loan Documents shall continue in full force
and effect and shall protect the Administrative Agent and the Lenders against
events arising after such termination as well as before.

         SECTION 12.13 Provision of Loan Documents. Upon request by AHL, the
Administrative Agent shall use its best efforts to provide to AHL, or to cause

Sections and subsections in this Agreement are for convenience only, and neither
limit nor amplify the provisions of this Agreement.

         SECTION 12.15 Severability of Provisions. Any provision of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document which is prohibited or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent
of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of
such provision or the remaining provisions hereof or thereof or affecting the
validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

         SECTION 12.16 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts,
each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and shall be
binding upon all parties, their successors and assigns, and all of which taken
together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

         SECTION 12.17 AHL as Agent for Other Borrowers. Each Borrower hereby
irrevocably appoints and authorizes AHL to be its agent to transact all matters
relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including, without
limitation, (a) to provide the Administrative Agent with all notices with
respect to Loans for the benefit of any other Borrower and all other notices and
instructions under this Agreement and (b) to take, on behalf of Borrowers, all
actions, including, without limitation, the provision of consents, as are
required or permitted to be taken by any or all of the Borrowers pursuant to
this Agreement.

         SECTION 12.18 Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall remain in effect
from the Closing Date through and including the date upon which all Obligations
shall have been paid and satisfied in full (other than any Obligations that
survive the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.12) and the
Commitments have been terminated. No termination of this Agreement shall affect
the rights and obligations of the parties hereto arising prior to such
termination.

         SECTION 12.19 EMU; Continuity of Contract, Etc.

         (a) Definitions. As used in this Section 12.19 the following terms have
the following meanings:

         "beginning of the third stage of EMU" means the date the third stage of
         EMU began or the date on which circumstances arise which, in the
         opinion of the Administrative Agent, have substantially the same effect
         and result in substantially the same consequences as the beginning of
         the third stage of EMU as contemplated by the Treaty on European Union.

         "EMU" means economic and monetary union as contemplated in the Treaty
         on European Union.

         "EMU legislation" means legislative measures of the European Council
         for the introduction of change over to or operation of a single or
         unified European currency (whether known as the euro or otherwise),
         being in part the implementation of the third stage of EMU.

         "euro" means the single currency to which participating member states
         of the European Union have converted and may from time to time in the
         future convert.

         "euro unit" means the currency unit of the euro.

         "fixed exchange rate" means the exchange rate for a national currency
         unit into a euro unit set in accordance with EMU legislation in effect
         from time to time.

         "national currency unit" means the unit of currency (other than a euro
         unit) of a participating member state.

         "participating member state" means each state so described in any EMU
         legislation that converts from its national currency unit to the euro.


                                      -94-
<PAGE>


         "Treaty on European Union" means the treaty of Rome of March 25, 1957,
         as amended by the Single European Act 1986 and the Maastricht Treaty
         (signed February 7, 1992), as amended from time to time.

         (b) Effectiveness of Provisions. The provisions of clauses (c) through
(m) below, inclusive, shall be effective at and from the later of the execution
of this Agreement or the beginning of the third stage of EMU, provided, that if
and to the extent that any such provision relates to any state (or the currency
of such state) that is not a participating member state on the beginning of the
third stage of EMU, such provision shall become effective in relation to such
state (and the currency of such state) at and from the date on which such state
becomes a participating member state.

         (c) Continuity of Contract. The parties to this Agreement agree that
the occurrence or non-occurrence of EMU, any event or events associated with the
EMU and/or the introduction of the euro in all or any part of the European Union
will not result in the discharge, cancellation, rescission or termination in
whole or in part of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or give the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Borrowers the right to cancel, rescind,
terminate or vary this Agreement or any other Loan Document, other than as
specifically provided in this Agreement.

         (d) Redenomination and Alternative Currencies. Each obligation of any
party under this Agreement which has been denominated in the national currency
unit of a participating member state shall be redenominated into the euro unit
at the fixed exchange rate, provided, that if and to the extent that any EMU
legislation provides that following the beginning of the third stage of EMU an
amount denominated either in the euro unit or in the national currency unit of a
member state and payable within the member state by crediting an account of a
creditor can be paid by a debtor either in the euro unit or in that national
currency unit, each party to this Agreement shall be entitled to pay or repay
any such amount either in the euro unit or in such national currency unit;
provided, however, any amount paid in a national currency unit shall equal, at
the fixed exchange rate for that national currency unit, the required amount
stated to be due in euro units.

         (e) Loans. Any Loan in the currency of a participating member state
shall be made in the euro unit, provided that any Loan may, if so requested by
any Borrower, be made in the national currency unit (based upon the published
fixed exchange rate) of any participating member state so long as such national
currency unit continues to be available as legal tender for obligations of the
same type or character as the obligations set forth in this Agreement, is freely
convertible and is not subject to exchange controls.

         (f) Business Days. With respect to any amount denominated or to be
denominated in the euro unit or a national currency unit, any reference to a
"Business Day" shall be construed as a reference to a day (other than a Saturday
or Sunday) on which banks are generally open for business in New York City and
prime banks in London generally provide quotations for deposits denominated in
the euro unit and such national currency unit.

         (g) Payments to the Administrative Agent. Those Sections of this
Agreement providing for payment or repayment in a national currency unit shall
be construed so that, in


                                      -95-


<PAGE>


relation to the payment of any amount of euro units or national currency units,
such amount shall be made available to the Administrative Agent in immediately
available, freely transferable, cleared funds to such account with each bank (in
such principal financial center) as the Administrative Agent may from time to
time nominate for this purpose.

         (h) Payment by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders. Any amount
payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders under this Agreement in the
national currency unit of a participating member state shall be paid in the
currency received by it from the Borrowers.

         (i) Payments by the Administrative Agent or Lenders Generally. With
respect to the payment of any amount denominated in the euro unit or in a
national currency unit, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable to the
Borrowers or any of the Lenders, nor shall any Lender be liable to the Borrower
or the Administrative Agent, in any way whatsoever for any delay, or the
consequences of any delay, in the crediting to any account of any amount
required by this Agreement to be paid by the Administrative Agent or such
Lender, as the case may be, if the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the
case may be, has made reasonable effort to effect all relevant steps to achieve,
on the date required by the Agreement, the payment of such amount in immediately
available, freely transferable, cleared funds (in the euro unit or, as the case
may be, in a national currency unit) to the account with the bank in the
principal financial center in the participating member state which the Borrowers
or, as the case may be, the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have
specified for such purpose. In this paragraph, "all relevant steps" means all
such steps as may be prescribed from time to time by the regulations or
operating procedures of such clearing or settlement system as the Administrative
Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, may from time to time reasonably
believe to be in effect for the purpose of clearing or settling payment of the
euro.

         (j) Basis of Accrual. If the basis of accrual of interest or fees
expressed in this Agreement with respect to the currency of any state that
becomes a participating member state, in Administrative Agent's judgment, shall
not be available because interest rate quotes for a national currency unit are
no longer provided, or shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in
the London Interbank Market for the basis of accrual of interest or fees in
respect of the euro, such convention or practice shall replace such expressed
basis effective as of and from the date on which such state becomes a
participating member state; provided, however, if any Loan in the currency of
such state is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall
take effect, with respect to such Loan, at the end of the then current Interest
Period.

         (k) Rounding and Other Consequential Changes. Without prejudice and in
addition to any method of conversion or rounding prescribed by any EMU
legislation and without prejudice to the respective liabilities for indebtedness
of the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent and to the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders to the Borrowers under or pursuant to this
Agreement:

                  (i) each reference in this Agreement to a minimum amount (or
         an integral multiple thereof) in a national currency unit to be paid to
         or by the Administrative Agent or Lenders shall be replaced by a
         reference to such reasonably comparable amount (or an integral multiple
         thereof) in the euro unit as the Administrative Agent may from time to
         time specify; and


                                      -96-


<PAGE>


                  (ii) except as expressly provided in this Agreement, each
         provision of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the right
         to combine currencies to effect a set off, shall be subject to such
         reasonable changes of interpretation as the Administrative Agent may
         from time to time specify to be necessary or appropriate to reflect the
         implementation of the EMU to place the parties hereto in substantially
         the position they would have occupied had the EMU not been implemented.

         (l) Exchange Indemnification and Increased Costs. The Borrowers shall
upon demand from the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent for
the account of each Lender the amount of (i) any loss or cost or increased cost
incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in respect of any Loans made
hereunder as a result of the Borrowers' election to borrow in national currency
units and repay in euro units or to borrow in euro units and repay in national
currency units, (ii) any reduction in any amount payable to, or in the effective
return on its capital to, the Administrative Agent or such Lender in respect of
any Loans made hereunder as a result of the Borrowers' election to borrow in
national currency units and repay in euro units or to borrow in euro units and
repay in national currency units, (iii) any interest or other return in respect
of any Loans made hereunder, including principal, foregone by the Administrative
Agent or its holding company or any Lender or its holding company, as a result
of the introduction of, change over to or operation of the euro in any
participating member state, or (iv) any currency exchange loss that the
Administrative Agent or such Lender sustains in respect of any Loans made
hereunder as a result of the Borrowers' election to borrow in national currency
units and repay in euro units or to borrow in euro units and repay in national
currency units.

         (m) Further Assurance. Each Borrower agrees, at the request of the
Administrative Agent, at the time of or at any time following the implementation
of the EMU, to enter into an agreement amending this Agreement in such manner as
the Administrative Agent reasonably shall request in order to reflect the
conversion of a participating member state's national currency unit into the
euro unit and to place the parties hereto in the position they would have been
in had the EMU not been implemented.

         SECTION 12.20 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan
Documents referred to herein embody the final, entire agreement among the
parties hereto and supersede any and all prior commitments, agreements,
representations, and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the
subject matter hereof and may not be contradicted or varied by evidence of
prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements or discussions of the
parties hereto. There are no oral agreements among the parties hereto.

         SECTION 12.21 Transitional Provisions.

         Prior Credit Agreement Superseded. This Agreement shall on the
Effective Date supersede the Prior Credit Agreement in its entirety, except as
provided in this Section 12.21. On the Closing Date, (i) the rights and
obligations of the parties evidenced by the Prior Credit Agreement shall be

principal amount of all Existing LIBOR Rate Loans, together with all accrued and
unpaid

Administrative Agent on the Effective Date for allocation among the Existing
Lenders in accordance with the terms of the Prior Credit Agreement, (iv) all
"Swingline Loans" as defined in the Prior Credit Agreement (the "Existing
Swingline Loans") shall be continued as Swingline Loans hereunder, provided,

paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender in
accordance with the terms of the Prior Credit Agreement, (v) all "European
Swingline Loans" as defined in the Prior Credit Agreement (the "Existing
European Swingline Loans") shall be continued as European Swingline Loans

account of the European Swingline Lender in accordance with the terms of the

of this Credit Agreement, be Letters of Credit hereunder, and (vii) all fees and

of the Effective Date (prorated in the case of any fractional periods), and
shall be paid on the Effective Date to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Existing Lenders in
accordance with the terms of the Prior Credit Agreement.

         SECTION 12.22 Acknowledgments. The Borrowers hereby acknowledge that:

         (b) neither the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank nor any Lender
