consolidation or otherwise) or series of related acquisitions by the Borrower or
any Subsidiary of all or substantially all of the assets of, or all or a
majority of the Equity Interests in, a Person or division or line of business of

          "Acquisition Consideration" means the sum of all consideration paid or
otherwise delivered or deliverable in connection with an Acquisition, including

the extent deducted from revenues in determining Consolidated Net Income, (i)

not exceeding $2,000,000 in any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters, (vi)
non-cash charges solely with respect to the impairment of intangible assets
resulting from the discontinuation of use of the tradenames of the Borrower, and
(vii) non-cash charges arising from compensation expense as a result of the
adoption of the proposed amendment to Financial Accounting Standards Board
Statement 123, "Share Based Payments," which would require certain stock based
compensation to be recorded as expense within the Borrower's consolidated
statement of operations minus, (a) to the extent included in Consolidated Net
Income, extraordinary or non-recurring non-cash gains realized other than in the
ordinary course of business and (b) the amount of any subsequent cash payments
in respect of any non-cash charges described in the preceding clause (vii), all

Acquired Entity or Business, (c) expense of such Acquired Entity or Business for
taxes accrued during such period, (d) depreciation during such period, (e)
amortization during such period, (f) extraordinary or non-recurring non-cash
losses incurred other than in the ordinary course of business and in an amount

fiscal quarters minus extraordinary or non-recurring non-cash gains realized
other than in the ordinary course of business, in each case on a pro forma basis
reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent but without giving effect to
any projected synergies and based on the actual net income (or loss), interest
expense, tax expense, depreciation expense, non-cash losses and non-cash gains
of such Acquired Entity or Business for the entire period (including the portion
thereof occurring prior to the relevant Acquisition).

          "Adjusted LIBO Rate" means, with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing
for any Interest Period, an interest rate per annum (rounded upwards, if

Period multiplied by (b) the Statutory Reserve Rate.

percentage of the total Commitments represented by such Lender's Commitment. If

determined based upon the percentage obtained by dividing such Lender's
outstanding Loans by the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all of the
Loans at such time.

          "Applicable Pledge Percentage" means 100%, but 65% in the case of a
pledge of Equity Interests in a Foreign Subsidiary to the extent a 100% pledge

          (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the
     Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such
     election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the
     term "Interest Period".

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does
not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have
selected an Interest Period of one month's duration.

          (d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the
Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such
Lender's portion of each resulting Borrowing.

          (e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election
Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest
Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided
herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to
an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the
request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an
Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to
or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar
Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest
Period applicable thereto.

          SECTION 2.09. Termination of Commitments. The Commitments shall
terminate on the Effective Date in accordance with Section 4.1.

          SECTION 2.10. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower
hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan on the
Maturity Date.

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

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

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


                                       24

<PAGE>

          (e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a
promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such
Lender a single promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if
requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns)
substantially in the form of Exhibit G. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such
promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after
assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by a promissory note in such
form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory
note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

          SECTION 2.11. Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower shall have the
right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in
part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section.

          (b) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone
(confirmed by telecopy or electronic communication in accordance with the terms
of Section 9.01(b)) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of
a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Chicago, Illinois time, three
Business Days before the date of prepayment and (ii) in the case of prepayment
of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Chicago, Illinois time, one
Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be
irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of
each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid. Promptly following receipt of
any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the
contents thereof. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the
Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by
accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13.

          SECTION 2.12. Fees.

          (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its
own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon
between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

          (b) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in
immediately available funds and shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

          SECTION 2.13. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing
shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

          (b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest
at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing
plus the Applicable Rate.

          (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on
any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not
paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such
overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate
per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the
rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs
of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate
applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.


                                       25

<PAGE>

          (d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each
Interest Payment Date for such Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant
to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event
of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal
amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or
prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior
to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such
Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

          (e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of
360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate
at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be
computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in
each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the
first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate,
Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent,
and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

          SECTION 2.14. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement
of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

          (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be
     conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not
     exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as
     applicable, for such Interest Period; or

          (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that
     the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest
     Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or
     Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such
     Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the
Lenders by telephone, electronic communication in accordance with the terms of
Section 9.01(b) or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the
Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the
circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest
Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or
continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective;
provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one
Type of Borrowings, then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted.

          SECTION 2.15. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law generally
applicable to financial institutions of the same classification as a Lender
shall:

          (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or
     similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of,
     or credit extended by, such Lender (except any such reserve requirement
     reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or


                                       26

<PAGE>

          (ii) impose on such Lender or the London interbank market any other
     condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender
     or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such
Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its
obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or
receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or
otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or
reduction suffered.

          (b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law generally
applicable to financial institutions of the same classification as such Lender
regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate
of return on such Lender's capital or on the capital of such Lender's holding
company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, such
Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender's holding company
could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such
Lender's policies and the policies of such Lender's holding company with respect
to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such
Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such
Lender's holding company for any such reduction suffered.

          (c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts
necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be,
as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the
Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay
such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after
receipt thereof.

          (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation
pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's right to
demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to
compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or
reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender
notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs
or reductions and of such Lender's intention to claim compensation therefor;
provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs
or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be
extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

          SECTION 2.16. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment
of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an
Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of
Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day
of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert,
continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice
delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked
under Section 2.11(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith) or (d) the
assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest
Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to
Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender
for the loss,


                                       27

<PAGE>

cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan,
such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount
determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of
interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such
event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to
such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the
then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow,
convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for
such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such
principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would
bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a
comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A
certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender
is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the
Borrower promptly and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower
shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10
days after receipt thereof.

          SECTION 2.17. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any
obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without
deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the
Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from
such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that
after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or Lender
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the
Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable law.

          (b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

          (c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each
Lender, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such
Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account
of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this
Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom
or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered
to the Borrower by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or
on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

          (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a
receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of
the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

          (e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or
reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the
Borrower is located, or any treaty


                                       28

<PAGE>

to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this
Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly
completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably
requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without
withholding or at a reduced rate.

          (f) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole
discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to
which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the
Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay
over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments
made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.17 with
respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without
interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority
with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of
the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to
the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the
relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in
the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such
refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to
require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns
(or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to
the Borrower or any other Person.

          SECTION 2.18. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of
Set-offs.

          (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it
hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees, or of amounts payable under
Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 1:00 p.m. Chicago, Illinois
time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or
counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the
discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the
next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All
such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its main office at
Chicago, Illinois, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17
and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The
Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the
account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following
receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a
Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding
Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest
thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments
hereunder shall be made in dollars.

          (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to
the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and
fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment
of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled
thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such
parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder,
ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of
principal then due to such parties.


                                       29

<PAGE>

          (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or
counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or
interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a
greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest
thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender
receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value)
participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the
benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in
accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on
their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are
purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is
recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price
restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the
provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made
by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this
Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the
assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or to any assignee
or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate
thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower
consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so
under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the
foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and
counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were
a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

          (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from
the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make
such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made
such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such
assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the
Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally
agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so
distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and
including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of
payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds
Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance
with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

          (e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made
by it pursuant to Section 2.05(c), 2.06(d) or (e), 2.07(b), 2.18(d) or 9.03(c),
then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any
contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender's
obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully
paid.

          SECTION 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If
any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental
Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such
Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for
funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations
hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment
of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce
amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the
future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any


                                       30

<PAGE>

unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such
Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

          (b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the
Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17,
or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the
Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the
Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without
recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in
Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to
an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another
Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower
shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which
consent shall not unreasonably be withheld and shall not be required in the
event that the Lender being replaced is also then acting as the Administrative
Agent, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the
outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and
all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of
such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in
the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment
resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required
to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction
in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any
such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by
such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require
such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

                                   ARTICLE III

                         Representations and Warranties

            The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders that:

          SECTION 3.01. Organization; Powers. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries
is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power and authority to carry
on its business as now conducted and, except where the failure to do so,
individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in
a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do business in, and is in good
standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required. Schedule
3.01 hereto (as supplemented from time to time) identifies each Subsidiary, the
jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, as the case may be, the
percentage of issued and outstanding shares of each class of its capital stock
or other equity interests owned by the Borrower and the other Subsidiaries and,
if such percentage is not 100% (excluding directors' qualifying shares as
required by law), a description of each class issued and outstanding. All of the
outstanding shares of capital stock and other equity interests of each
Subsidiary are validly issued and outstanding and fully paid and nonassessable
and all such shares and other equity interests indicated on Schedule 3.01 as


                                       31

<PAGE>

owned by the Borrower or another Subsidiary are owned, beneficially and of
record, by the Borrower or any Subsidiary free and clear of all Liens (other
than Liens created by the Collateral Documents). Other than pursuant to
stock-based compensation plans and Equity Interests of the Borrower or its
Subsidiaries issuable as Acquisition Consideration in connection with pending or
completed Permitted Acquisitions, there are no outstanding commitments or other
obligations of the Borrower or any Subsidiary to issue, and no options, warrants
or other rights of any Person to acquire, any shares of any class of capital
stock or other equity interests of the Borrower or any Subsidiary.

          SECTION 3.02. Authorization; Enforceability. The Transactions are
within the Borrower's corporate powers and have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate and, if required, stockholder action. This Agreement has
been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and constitutes a legal, valid
and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its
terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
or other laws affecting creditors' rights generally and subject to general
principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity
or at law.

          SECTION 3.03. Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions
(a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing (other
than Form 8-K filings to be filed with the SEC by the Borrower within 5 Business
Days of the Effective Date) with, or any other action by, any Governmental
Authority, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and
effect, (b) will not violate any applicable law or regulation or the charter,
bylaws or other organizational documents of the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries or any order of any Governmental Authority, (c) will not violate or
result in a default under any indenture, material agreement or other instrument
binding upon the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or its assets, or give rise
to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries, and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of
any Lien (other than Liens permitted under Section 6.02(b)) on any asset of the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, other than pursuant to the Collateral
Documents.

          SECTION 3.04. Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Effect. (a) The
Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Lenders its consolidated balance sheet
and statements of income, stockholders equity and cash flows (i) as of and for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, reported on by KPMG LLP, independent
public accountants, and (ii) as of and for the fiscal quarter and the portion of
the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, certified by its chief financial officer.
Such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower and
its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such dates and for such periods in
accordance with GAAP, subject to year-end audit adjustments and the absence of
footnotes in the case of the statements referred to in clause (ii) above.

          (b) Since December 31, 2004, there has been no event or circumstance
which has resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a Material
Adverse Effect.

          SECTION 3.05. Properties and Insurance. (a) The Borrower and its

          SECTION 5.07. Compliance with Laws. The Borrower will, and will cause

pursuant to which the certificate described under clause (h) of the definition
of Permitted Acquisition demonstrates that a Foreign Pledge Event will occur as
a result of such acquisition, a Pledge Agreement in favor of the Collateral
Agent for the benefit of the Holders of Secured Obligations with respect to the
Applicable Pledge Percentage of the Equity Interests in each First-Tier Foreign
Subsidiary and all to the extent necessary or appropriate so that a Foreign
Pledge Event no longer exists or, notwithstanding such Acquisition, will not
exist, in each case after giving effect to such pledges; provided that no such
pledge of the Equity Interests in a First-Tier Foreign Subsidiary shall be
required hereunder to the extent such pledge is prohibited by applicable law or
the Administrative Agent and its counsel reasonably determine that such pledge
would not provide material Collateral for the benefit of the Holders of Secured
Obligations pursuant to legally binding, valid and enforceable Pledge
Agreements. The Borrower further agrees to deliver to the Collateral Agent all
such Pledge Agreements and other related Collateral Documents, together with
appropriate corporate resolutions and other corporate documentation (including,
to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent, legal opinions, stock
certificates representing the Equity Interests subject to such pledge, stock
powers with respect thereto executed in blank, and such other documents as shall
be reasonably requested to perfect the Lien of such pledge) in each case in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its
counsel,

document, agreement or instrument evidencing any Indebtedness incurred pursuant
to the Subordinated Indebtedness Documents (or any replacements, substitutions,
extensions or renewals thereof) or pursuant to which such Indebtedness is issued
where such amendment, modification or supplement provides for the following or
which has any of the following effects:

          (a) increases the overall principal amount of any such Indebtedness or
     increases the amount of any single scheduled installment of principal or

     principal or interest becomes due or adds any additional mandatory

     any material respect to the Borrower or such Subsidiary or which is
     otherwise materially adverse to the Borrower, any Subsidiary and/or the
     Lenders or, in the case of any such covenant, which places material
     additional restrictions on the Borrower or such Subsidiary or which
     requires the Borrower or such Subsidiary to comply with more restrictive
     financial ratios or which requires the Borrower to better its financial
     performance, in each case from that set forth in the existing applicable
     covenants in the Subordinated Indebtedness Documents or the applicable
     covenants in this Agreement; or

          (g) amends, modifies or adds any affirmative covenant in a manner
     which (i) when taken as a whole, is materially adverse to the Borrower, any
     Subsidiary and/or the Lenders or (ii) is more onerous than the existing
     applicable covenant in the Subordinated Indebtedness Documents or the
     applicable covenant in this Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                  The Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent

          Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the JPMorgan Chase
Bank, N.A. as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent hereunder and under each
other Loan Document, and each of the Lenders authorizes each of the Agents to
enter into the Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of such Lender (each Lender
hereby agreeing to be bound by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement as if it
were a party thereto) and to take such actions on its behalf and on behalf of
the Holders of Secured Obligations and to exercise such powers as are delegated
to the Agents by the terms hereof and the terms of the other Loan Documents,
together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

          The Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers in its
capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it
were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept
deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with
the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the
Administrative Agent hereunder.

          No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly
set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no Agent
shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether
a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) no Agent shall have any duty to
take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except
discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that such Agent is
required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such
other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the
circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set
forth herein, no Agent shall have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable
for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as
either Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. No Agent shall be liable
for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of
the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall
be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the
absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. No Agent shall be
deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof
is given to such Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and neither shall be
responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement,
warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii)
the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or
in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the
covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the
validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any
other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the


                                       49

<PAGE>

satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other
than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such
Agent or (vi) the perfection or priority of any of the Liens on any of the
Collateral.

          The Agents shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any
liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent,
statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine
and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Agents also may rely
upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be
made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying
thereon. The Agents may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the
Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall
not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the
advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

          Either Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its
rights and powers by or through any one or more subagents appointed by such
Agent. The Agents and any such subagent may perform any and all its duties and
exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The
exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such
subagent and to the Related Parties of the Agents and any such subagent, and
shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of
the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as an Agent.

          Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor
Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may
resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. The Administrative
Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by written notice
received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower and the Required Lenders.
Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right,
with the consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, to appoint a successor; provided, that if any Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, no consent of the Borrower shall be
required. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders
and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the such removal
or resignation, then the retiring or removed Administrative Agent may, on behalf
of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent with the consent of the
Borrower; provided, that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
no consent of the Borrower shall be required. Upon the acceptance of its
appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor
shall 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. The fees
payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as
those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower
and such successor. After the Administrative Agent's resignation or removal
hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in
effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and
their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to
be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

          Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without
reliance upon either Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender


                                       50

<PAGE>

also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon either
Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it
shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in
taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related
agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

          None of the Lenders, if any, identified in this Agreement as a
Co-Syndication Agent shall have any right, power, obligation, liability,
responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all
Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of such Lenders shall have
or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender
hereby makes the same acknowledgments with respect to the relevant Lenders in
their capacity as Co-Syndication Agents as it makes with respect to the
Administrative Agent in the preceding paragraph.

          Except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights of any Lender in
accordance with Section 9.08, the proceeds of which are applied in accordance
with this Agreement, each Lender agrees that it will not take any action, nor
institute any actions or proceedings, against the Borrower or with respect to
any Loan Document, without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders or,
as may be provided in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, with the
consent of the Administrative Agent.

          The Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be
liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in
case of the Administrative Agent) authorized to act for, any other Lender. The
Agents shall have the exclusive right on behalf of the Lenders to enforce the
payment of the principal of and interest on any Loan after the date such
principal or interest has become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement.

          In its capacity, the Collateral Agent is a "representative" of the
Holders of Secured Obligations within the meaning of the term "secured party" as
defined in the Illinois Uniform Commercial Code. Each Lender authorizes the
Collateral Agent to enter into each of the Collateral Documents to which it is a
party and to take all action contemplated by such documents. Each Lender agrees
that no Holder of Secured Obligations (other than the Collateral Agent) shall
have the right individually to seek to realize upon the security granted by any
Collateral Document, it being understood and agreed that such rights and
remedies may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the
Holders of Secured Obligations upon the terms of the Collateral Documents. In
the event that any Collateral is hereafter pledged by any Person as collateral
security for the Obligations, the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized, and
hereby granted a power of attorney, to execute and deliver on behalf of the
Holders of Secured Obligations any Loan Documents necessary or appropriate to
grant and perfect a Lien on such Collateral in favor of the Collateral Agent on
behalf of the Holders of Secured Obligations. The Lenders hereby authorize the
Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien
granted to or held by the Collateral Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon
termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction of all of the
Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations and Obligations in
respect of Swap Agreements) at any time arising under or in respect of this
Agreement or the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby; (ii) as permitted by, but only in accordance with, the terms of the
applicable Loan Document; or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in
writing by the Required Lenders, unless such release is required to be approved
by all of the Lenders hereunder.


                                       51

<PAGE>

Upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in
writing the Collateral Agent's authority to release particular types or items of
Collateral pursuant hereto. Upon any sale or transfer of assets constituting
Collateral which is permitted pursuant to the terms of any Loan Document, or
consented to in writing by the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as
applicable, and upon at least five Business Days' prior written request by the
Borrower to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall (and is hereby
irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be
necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent
for the benefit of the Holders of Secured Obligations herein or pursuant hereto
upon the Collateral that was sold or transferred; provided, however, that (i)
the Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms
which, in the Collateral Agent's reasonable opinion, would expose the Collateral
Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than
the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release
shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens
upon (or obligations of the Borrower or any Subsidiary in respect of) all
interests retained by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, including (without
limitation) the proceeds of the sale, all of which shall continue to constitute
part of the Collateral.

          The Borrower, on its behalf and on behalf of its Subsidiaries, and
each Lender, on its behalf and on the behalf of its affiliated Holders of
Secured Obligations, hereby irrevocably constitute the Collateral Agent as the
holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (fonde de pouvoir within the meaning
of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec) in order to hold hypothecs and
security granted by the Borrower or any Subsidiary on property pursuant to the
laws of the Province of Quebec to secure obligations of the Borrower or any
Subsidiary under any bond, debenture or similar title of indebtedness issued by
the Borrower or any Subsidiary in connection with this Agreement, and agree that
the Collateral Agent may act as the bondholder and mandatary with respect to any
bond, debenture or similar title of indebtedness that may be issued by the
Borrower or any Subsidiary and pledged in favor of the Holders of Secured
Obligations in connection with this Agreement. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 32 of the An Act respecting the special powers of legal persons
(Quebec), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Collateral Agent may acquire and be the
holder of any bond issued by the Borrower or any Subsidiary in connection with
this Agreement (i.e., the fonde de pouvoir may acquire and hold the first bond
issued under any deed of hypothec by the Borrower or any Subsidiary).

          The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to execute and deliver any
documents necessary or appropriate to create and perfect the rights of pledge
for the benefit of the Holders of Secured Obligations including a right of
pledge with respect to the entitlements to profits, the balance left after
winding up and the voting rights of the Borrower as ultimate parent of any
subsidiary of the Borrower which is organized under the laws of the Netherlands
and the Equity Interests of which are pledged in connection herewith (a "Dutch
Pledge"). Without prejudice to the provisions of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree with the creation of
parallel debt obligations of the Borrower or any relevant Subsidiary as will be
described in any Dutch Pledge (the "Parallel Debt"), including that any payment
received by the Collateral Agent in respect of the Parallel Debt will -
conditionally upon such payment not subsequently being avoided or reduced by
virtue of any provisions or enactments relating to bankruptcy, insolvency,
preference, liquidation or similar laws of general application - be deemed a
satisfaction of a pro rata portion of the corresponding amounts of the
Obligations, and any payment to the Holders of Secured Obligations in
satisfaction of the


                                       52

<PAGE>

Obligations shall - conditionally upon such payment not subsequently being
avoided or reduced by virtue of any provisions or enactments relating to
bankruptcy, insolvency, preference, liquidation or similar laws of general
application - be deemed as satisfaction of the corresponding amount of the
Parallel Debt. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, for purposes of a
Dutch Pledge, any resignation by the Collateral Agent is not effective until its
rights under the Parallel Debt are assigned to the successor Collateral Agent.

          (b) Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be

<PAGE>

          (c) Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number or
e-mail address for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the
other parties hereto. All notices and other communications given to any party
hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to
have been given on the date of receipt.

          SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to
enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not
exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of
any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower
therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by
paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not
be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the
Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such
Default at the time.

          (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived,
amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing
entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that (1)
no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the
written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or
reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder,
without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the
scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any interest
thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse
any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any
Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv)
change Section 2.18(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing
of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (v)
change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of "Required
Lenders" or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of
Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any
determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of
each Lender or (vi) other than pursuant to a transaction permitted by the terms
of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, release all or substantially all
of the Collateral which is subject to the Loan Documents; (2) no such agreement
shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder without the prior written
consent of such Agent, as the case may be and (3) anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required for
any amendment to this Agreement made pursuant to the provisions of the Fee
Letter that provide for amendments or modifications to the Credit Agreement
without the consent of the Borrower.

          SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrower
shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents and
their Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of
counsel for each Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit
facilities provided for herein, the preparation and


                                       54

<PAGE>

administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers
of the provisions thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby
or thereby shall be consummated) and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
either Agent or any Lender, including the reasonable fees, charges and
disbursements of any counsel for either Agent or any Lender, in connection with
the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan
Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the
Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during
any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.

          (b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Agents and each Lender, and each
Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an
"Indemnitee") against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees,
charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or
asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a
result of (i) the execution or delivery of the Loan Documents or any agreement
or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of
their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions
or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the
proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous
Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim,
litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing,
whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether
any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to
any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. A Person seeking to be
indemnified under this Section 9.03 shall notify the Borrower of any event
requiring indemnification within 30 days following such Person's receipt of
notice of commencement of any action or proceeding, or such Person's obtaining
knowledge of the occurrence of any other event, giving rise to a claim for
indemnification hereunder, and furthermore such Person agrees to notify the
Borrower from time to time of the status of any such action or proceeding;
provided, that the failure to so notify the Borrower shall not affect the
Borrower's duty or obligations under this Section 9.03.

          (c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required
to be paid by it to the Agents under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each
Lender severally agrees to pay to the relevant Agent such Lender's Applicable
Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense
or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the
unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related
expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the relevant
Agent in its capacity as such.

          (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not
assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of
liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed
to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result
of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the
Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.


                                       55

<PAGE>

          (e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than
15 days after written demand therefor.

          SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i)
the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any
attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be
null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or
obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this
Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person
(other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this
Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties
of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable
right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

          (b)(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below,
any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights
and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent
(such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:

               (A) the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall
     be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an
     Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
     any other assignee; and

               (B) the Administrative Agent.

          (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional
conditions:

               (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an
     Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of
     the assigning Lender's Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or
     Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined
     as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such
     assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than
     $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
     otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be
     required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

               (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a
     proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations
     under this Agreement;

               (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to
     the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a
     processing and recordation fee of $3,500; and


                                       56

<PAGE>

               (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to
     the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and shall agree to
     be bound by Section 9.12 hereof.

          For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term "Approved Fund" has
the following meaning:

          "Approved Fund" means any Person (other than a natural person) that is
engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar
extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is
administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an
entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

          (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to
paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified
in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party
hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement,
and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest
assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations
under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering
all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such
Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a
Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with
this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by
such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with
paragraph (c) of this Section.

          (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of
the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and
Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and
addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the
Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the
"Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower,
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is
recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for
all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The
Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at
any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

          (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption
executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee's completed
Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender
hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of
this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph
(b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and
Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register;
provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed
to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05(c),
2.06(d) or (e), 2.07(b), 2.18(d) or 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have
no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the
information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have
been made in full,


                                       57

<PAGE>

together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for
purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as
provided in this paragraph.

          (b) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent sell participations to one or more banks or other entities
(a "Participant") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and obligations
under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans
owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement
shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the
other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the
Borrower, 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. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which
a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain
the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such
agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the
consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver
described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant.
Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each
Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to
the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by
assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by
law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as
though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to
Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender.

          (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater
payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been
entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant,
unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the
Borrower's prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender
if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless
the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such
Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section
2.17(e) as though it were a Lender.

          (c) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in
all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of
such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure
obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any
such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge
or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender
as a party hereto.

          SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other
instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be
considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall
survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any
Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its
behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have
had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty
at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force
and effect as long as the principal of or any


                                       58

<PAGE>

accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this
Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not
expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and
Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the
Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of
this Agreement or any provision hereof.

          SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement
may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different
counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when
taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the Fee
Letter and any other letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the
Administrative Agent, and other matters described therein constitute the entire
contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede
any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to
the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement
shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative
Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof
which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties
hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an
executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or
electronic communication in accordance with the terms of Section 9.01(b) shall
be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

          SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in
a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other
jurisdiction.

          SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby
authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or
demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time
owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the
Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter
existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or
not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although
such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section
are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff)
which such Lender may have.

          SECTION 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of
Process. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed
by the internal laws (including, without limitation, 735 ILCS Section 105/5-1 et
seq, but otherwise without regard to the conflict of laws provisions) of the
State of Illinois, but giving effect to federal laws applicable to national
banks.

          (b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for
itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any United States
federal or Illinois state court sitting in Chicago, Illinois, and any appellate
court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating
to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each
of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all
claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined
in such Illinois State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal
court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such
action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent
or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to
this Agreement against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any
jurisdiction.

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

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

          SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES,
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER
BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES
THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED,
EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF
LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT
AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY,
AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

          SECTION 9.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of
Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this
Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into
consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

          SECTION 9.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as
defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its
Affiliates' directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants,
legal counsel and other advisors who request the Information in order to
implement the terms of this Agreement and establish, administer and enforce
rights or remedies with respect to the credit facility hereunder (it being
understood that the Persons to


                                       60

<PAGE>

whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such
Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the
extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by
applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d)
(i) to any other party to this Agreement which has agreed to be bound by the
terms of this Section and (ii) to any prospective or proposed Lender which has
agreed to be bound by an agreement containing confidentiality provisions
substantially the same as this paragraph or otherwise acceptable to the
Borrower, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any
suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of
rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions
substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or
Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its
rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective
counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to
the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to
the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a
result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source
other than the Borrower, which source is not known by the relevant officers and
employees of the Administrative Agent or such Lender involved in the credit
facility evidenced hereby to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with the
Borrower. For the purposes of this Section, "Information" means (i) the
commitment letter, term sheet and fee letters entered into in connection
herewith, (ii) all financial information and projections as has been requested
by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower in connection with the arrangement
and syndication of the credit facility evidenced hereby and (iii) all other
information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business,
other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or
any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower. Any
Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in
this Section (i) shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do
so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the
confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own
confidential information and (ii) agrees that money damages would not be a
sufficient remedy for any breach of agreement under this paragraph by such
Person or its agents, advisors or employees and that, in addition to all other
available legal or equitable remedies, the Borrower shall be entitled to
equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, for any breach
of the provisions of this Section, without proof of actual damages.

          SECTION 9.13. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the
requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into
law October 26, 2001)) (the "Act") hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to
the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record
information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name
and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to
identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.
