                                    AGREEMENT

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants
hereinafter contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
parties hereto agree as follows:

1. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF CREDIT

     1.1 Credit Facilities.

          (a) Revolving Credit Facility.

               (i) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Revolving
Lender agrees to make available to Borrowers from time to time until the
Commitment Termination Date its Pro Rata Share of advances (each, a "Revolving
Credit Advance"). The Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan of any Revolving
Lender shall not at any time exceed its separate Revolving Loan Commitment. The
obligations of each Revolving Lender hereunder shall be several and not joint.
Until the Commitment Termination Date, Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow
under this SECTION 1.1(A); provided, that the amount of any Revolving Credit
Advance to be made at any time shall not exceed Borrowing Availability at such
time. Borrowing Availability may be reduced by Reserves imposed by Agent in its
reasonable credit judgment. Each Revolving Credit Advance shall be made on
notice by Borrower Representative on behalf of the applicable Borrower to one of
the representatives of Agent identified in SCHEDULE 1.1 at the address specified
therein. Any such notice must be given no later than (1) 1:00 p.m. (New York
time) on the Business Day of the proposed Revolving Credit Advance, in the case
of an Index Rate Loan, or (2) 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date which is two
Business Days prior to the proposed Revolving Credit Advance, in the case of a
LIBOR Loan. Each such notice (a "Notice of Revolving Credit Advance") must be
given in writing (by telecopy or overnight courier) substantially in the form of
EXHIBIT 1.1(A)(I), and shall include the information required in such Exhibit
and such other information as may be required by Agent. If Borrower desires to
have the Revolving Credit Advances bear interest by reference to a LIBOR Rate,
Borrower Representative must comply with SECTION 1.5(E).

               (ii) Except as provided in SECTION 1.12, each Borrower shall
execute and deliver to each Revolving Lender a note to evidence the Revolving
Loan Commitment of that Revolving Lender. Each note shall be in the principal
amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment of the applicable Revolving Lender,
dated the Closing Date and substantially in the form of EXHIBIT 1.1(A)(II) (each
a "Revolving Note" and, collectively, the "Revolving Notes"). Each Revolving
Note shall represent the joint and several obligations of Borrowers to pay the
amount of the applicable Revolving Lender's Revolving Loan Commitment or, if
less, such Revolving Lender's Pro Rata Share of the aggregate unpaid principal
amount of all Revolving Credit Advances to Borrowers together with interest
thereon as prescribed in SECTION 1.5. The entire unpaid balance of the Revolving
Loan and all other non-contingent Obligations shall be immediately due and
payable in full in immediately available funds on the Commitment Termination
Date.

          (b) Swing Line Facility.

               (i) Agent shall notify the Swing Line Lender upon Agent's receipt
of any Notice of Revolving Credit Advance. Subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, the Swing Line Lender may, in its discretion, make available from time
to time until the Commitment Termination Date advances (each, a "Swing Line
Advance") in accordance with any such notice. The provisions of this SECTION
1.1(B) shall not relieve Revolving Lenders of their obligations to

make Revolving Credit Advances under SECTION 1.1(A); provided, that if the Swing
Line Lender makes a Swing Line Advance pursuant to any such notice, such Swing
Line Advance shall be in lieu of any Revolving Credit Advance that otherwise may
be made by Revolving Credit Lenders pursuant to such notice. The aggregate
amount of Swing Line Advances outstanding shall not exceed at any time the
lesser of (A) the Swing Line Commitment and (B) the lesser of the Maximum Amount
and the Aggregate Borrowing Base, in each case, less the outstanding balance of
the Revolving Loan at such time ("Swing Line Availability"). Until the
Commitment Termination Date, Borrowers may from time to time borrow, repay and
reborrow under this SECTION 1.1(B). Each Swing Line Advance shall be made
pursuant to a Notice of Revolving Credit Advance delivered to Agent by Borrower
Representative on behalf of the applicable Borrower in accordance with SECTION
1.1(A). Any such notice must be given no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on
the Business Day of the proposed Swing Line Advance. Unless the Swing Line
Lender has received at least one Business Day's prior written notice from
Requisite Revolving Lenders instructing it not to make a Swing Line Advance, the
Swing Line Lender shall, notwithstanding the failure of any condition precedent
set forth in SECTIONS 2.2, be entitled to fund that Swing Line Advance, and to
have each Revolving Lender make Revolving Credit Advances in accordance with
SECTION 1.1(B)(III) or purchase participating interests in accordance with
SECTION 1.1(B)(IV). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents, the Swing Line Loan shall constitute an Index Rate Loan.
Borrowers shall repay the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Swing
Line Loan upon demand therefor by Agent.

               (ii) Borrowers shall execute and deliver to the Swing Line Lender
a promissory note to evidence the Swing Line Commitment, which note shall be in
the principal amount of the Swing Line Commitment of the Swing Line Lender,
dated the Closing Date and substantially in the form of EXHIBIT 1.1(B)(II) (each
a "Swing Line Note," and collectively the "Swing Line Notes"). The Swing Line
Note shall represent the joint and several obligations of Borrowers to pay the
amount of the Swing Line Commitment or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal
amount of all Swing Line Advances made to Borrowers together with interest
thereon as prescribed in SECTION 1.5. The entire unpaid balance of the Swing
Line Loan and all other noncontingent Obligations shall be immediately due and
payable in full in immediately available funds on the Commitment Termination
Date if not sooner paid in full.

               (iii) The Swing Line Lender, at any time and from time to time no
less frequently than once weekly, shall on behalf of any Borrower (and each
Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so act on its
behalf) request each Revolving Lender (including the Swing Line Lender) to make
a Revolving Credit Advance to each Borrower (which shall be an Index Rate Loan)
in an amount equal to that Revolving Lender's Pro Rata Share of the principal
amount of the applicable Borrower's Swing Line Loan (the "Refunded Swing Line
Loan") outstanding on the date such notice is given. Unless any of the events
described in SECTIONS 8.1(H) or 8.1(I) has occurred (in which event the
procedures of SECTION 1.1(B)(IV) shall apply) and regardless of whether the
conditions precedent set forth in this Agreement to the making of a Revolving
Credit Advance are then satisfied, each Revolving Lender shall disburse directly
to Agent, its Pro Rata Share of a Revolving Credit Advance on behalf of the
Swing Line Lender, prior to 3:00 p.m. (New York time), in immediately available
funds on the Business Day next succeeding the date that notice is given. The
proceeds of those Revolving Credit Advances shall be immediately paid to the
Swing Line Lender and applied to repay the Refunded Swing Line Loan of the
applicable Borrower.

               (iv) If, prior to refunding a Swing Line Loan with a Revolving
Credit Advance pursuant to SECTION 1.1(B)(III), one of the events described in
SECTIONS 8.1(H) or 8.1(I) has occurred, then, subject to the provisions of
SECTION 1.1(B)(V), each Revolving Lender shall, on the date such Revolving
Credit Advance was to have been made for the benefit of the applicable Borrower,
purchase from the Swing Line Lender an undivided participation interest in the
Swing Line Loan to such Borrower in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of
such Swing Line Loan. Upon request, each Revolving Lender shall promptly
transfer to the Swing Line Lender, in immediately available funds, the amount of
its participation interest.

               (v) Each Revolving Lender's obligation to make Revolving Credit
Advances in accordance with SECTION 1.1(B)(III) and to purchase participation
interests in accordance with SECTION 1.1(B)(IV) shall be absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any
setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Revolving
Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, any Borrower or any other Person
for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of any Default or
Event of Default; (C) any inability of Borrower to satisfy the conditions
precedent to borrowing set forth in this Agreement at any time or (D) any other
circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of
the foregoing. If any Revolving Lender does not make available to Agent or the
Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the amount required pursuant to SECTIONS
1.1(B)(III) or 1.1(B)(IV), as the case may be, the Swing Line Lender shall be
entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Lender, together
with interest thereon for each day from the date of non-payment until such
amount is paid in full at the Federal Funds Rate for the first two Business Days
and at the Index Rate thereafter.

          (c) Reliance on Notices; Appointment of Borrower Representative. Agent
shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon,
any Notice of Revolving Credit Advance, Notice of Conversion/Continuation or
similar notice believed by Agent to be genuine. Agent may assume that each
Person executing and delivering any notice in accordance herewith was duly
authorized, unless the responsible individual acting thereon for Agent has
actual knowledge to the contrary. Each Borrower hereby designates Borrower
Representative as its representative and agent on its behalf for the purposes of
issuing Notices of Revolving Credit Advances and Notices of
Conversion/Continuation, giving instructions with respect to the disbursement of
the proceeds of the Loans, selecting interest rate options, requesting Letters
of Credit, giving and receiving all other notices and consents hereunder or
under any of the other Loan Documents and taking all other actions (including in
respect of compliance with covenants) on behalf of any Borrower or Borrowers
under the Loan Documents. Borrower Representative hereby accepts such
appointment. Agent and each Lender may regard any notice or other communication
pursuant to any Loan Document from Borrower Representative as a notice or
communication from all Borrowers, and may give any notice or communication
required or permitted to be given to any Borrower or Borrowers hereunder to
Borrower Representative on behalf of such Borrower or Borrowers. Each Borrower
agrees that each notice, election, representation and warranty, covenant,
agreement and undertaking made on its behalf by Borrower Representative shall be
deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Borrower and shall be binding
upon and enforceable against such Borrower to the same extent as if the same had
been made directly by such Borrower.

     1.2 Letters of Credit. Subject to and in accordance with the terms and
conditions contained herein and in ANNEX B, Borrower Representative, on behalf
of the applicable Borrower, shall have the right to request, and Revolving
Lenders agree to incur, or purchase participations in, Letter of Credit
Obligations in respect of each Borrower.

     1.3 Prepayments.

          (a) Voluntary Prepayments. Borrowers may at any time on at least five
days' prior written notice by Borrower Representative to Agent permanently
reduce (but not terminate) the Revolving Loan Commitment; provided, that (i) any
such reductions shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral
multiples of $250,000 in excess of such amount, (ii) the Revolving Loan
Commitment shall not be reduced to an amount less than the amount of the
Revolving Loan then outstanding, and (C) after giving effect to such reductions,
Borrowers shall comply with SECTION 1.3(B)(I). In addition, Borrowers may at any
time on at least ten days' prior written notice by Borrower Representative to
Agent terminate the Revolving Loan Commitment; provided, that upon such
termination, all Loans and other Obligations shall be immediately due and
payable in full and all Letter of Credit Obligations shall be cash
collateralized or otherwise satisfied in accordance with ANNEX B. Any such
voluntary reduction or termination of the Revolving Loan Commitment must be
accompanied by the payment of any LIBOR funding breakage costs in accordance
with SECTION 1.13(B). Upon any such reduction or termination of the Revolving
Loan Commitment, each Borrower's right to request Revolving Credit Advances, or
request that Letter of Credit Obligations be incurred on its behalf, or request
Swing Line Advances, shall simultaneously be permanently reduced or terminated,
as the case may be; provided, that a permanent reduction of the Revolving Loan
Commitment shall require a corresponding pro rata reduction in the L/C Sublimit.

          (b) Mandatory Prepayments.

               (i) If at any time (A) the outstanding balances of the Revolving
Loan and the Swing Line Loan exceed the lesser of (i) the Maximum Amount and
(ii) the Aggregate Borrowing Base, or (B) the outstanding balance of the
Revolving Loan and the Swing Line Loan plus the outstanding balance of the
Canadian Revolving Loan and the Canadian Swing Line Loan exceed the least of (i)
the Maximum Amount, (ii) the sum of the Aggregate Borrowing Base and the
Canadian Aggregate Borrowing Base, and (iii) the Revolving Loan Commitment, then
Borrowers shall immediately repay the aggregate outstanding Revolving Credit
Advances to the extent required to eliminate such excess. If any such excess
remains after repayment in full of the aggregate outstanding Revolving Credit
Advances, Borrowers shall provide cash collateral for the Letter of Credit
Obligations in the manner set forth in ANNEX B to the extent required to
eliminate such excess.

               (ii) Within five Business Days of receipt (or at all times
following the occurrence of a Dominion Activation Event, immediately upon
receipt) by any Credit Party of any cash proceeds of any asset disposition
(including as a result of permitted sale/leaseback transactions under Section
6.12), Borrowers shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to all


                                        5

<PAGE>

such proceeds, net of (A) commissions and other reasonable and customary
transaction costs, fees and expenses properly attributable to such transaction
and payable by Borrowers in connection therewith (in each case, paid to
non-Affiliates), (B) transfer taxes, (C) amounts payable to holders of senior
Liens on such asset (to the extent such Liens constitute Permitted Encumbrances
hereunder), if any, (D) an appropriate reserve for income taxes in accordance
with GAAP in connection therewith, and (E) so long as no Dominion Activation
Event has occurred, the amount of any voluntary reductions in the Revolving Loan
Commitment made pursuant to Section 1.3(a) during the immediately preceding 12
months. Any such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with Section 1.3(c).
So long as no Dominion Activation Event has occurred, the following shall not be
subject to mandatory prepayment under this clause (ii): (1) proceeds of sales of
Inventory in the ordinary course of business; (2) asset disposition proceeds of
less than $300,000 in the aggregate in any Fiscal Year; (3) proceeds not to
exceed $500,000 in the aggregate in any Fiscal Year from the disposition of
property or assets, including Intellectual Property, that are no longer used or
useful in the ordinary course of business; (4) asset disposition proceeds, and
insurance recovery and condemnation proceeds that are reinvested in Equipment,
Fixtures or Real Estate within 180 days following receipt thereof, provided that
Borrower notifies Agent of its intent to reinvest at the time such proceeds are
received and when such reinvestment occurs; and (5) proceeds of asset
dispositions allowed under SECTION 6.8(E).

               (iii) If any Borrower or Subsidiary Guarantor issues Stock, no
later than the Business Day following the date of receipt of the proceeds
thereof, Borrowers shall prepay the Loans (and cash collateralize Letter of
Credit Obligations) in an amount equal to all such proceeds, net of underwriting
discounts and commissions and other reasonable costs paid to non-Affiliates in
connection therewith. Any such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with
SECTION 1.3(C).

          (c) Application of Certain Mandatory Prepayments. Any prepayments made
by any Borrower pursuant to SECTIONS 1.3(B)(II) or (B)(III) shall be applied as
follows: first, to Fees and reimbursable expenses of Agent then due and payable
pursuant to any of the Loan Documents; second, to interest then due and payable
on all Borrowers' Swing Line Loans; third, to the principal balance of all
Borrowers' Swing Line Loans until the same has been repaid in full; fourth, to
interest then due and payable on the Revolving Credit Advances to all Borrowers;
fifth, to the outstanding principal balance of Revolving Credit Advances made to
all Borrowers until the same has been repaid in full; sixth, to any Letter of
Credit Obligations of all Borrowers, to provide cash collateral therefor in the
manner set forth in ANNEX B, until all such Letter of Credit Obligations have
been fully cash collateralized in the manner set forth in ANNEX B; and last, to
the Canadian Obligations of the same type and order set forth in the preceding
CLAUSES "FIRST" through "SIXTH" of the Canadian Borrowers. Neither the Revolving
Loan Commitment nor the Swing Line Commitment shall be permanently reduced by
the amount of any such prepayments listed in SECTION 1.3.

          (d) Application of Prepayments from Insurance and Condemnation
Proceeds. Prepayments from insurance or condemnation proceeds in accordance with
SECTION 5.4(C) shall be applied first, to the Swing Line Loans, and second, to
the Revolving Credit Advances.


                                        6

<PAGE>

Neither the Revolving Loan Commitment nor the Swing Line Loan Commitment shall
be permanently reduced by the amount of any such prepayments.

          (e) No Implied Consent. Nothing in this SECTION 1.3 shall be construed
to constitute Agent's or any Lender's consent to any transaction that is not
permitted by other provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

     1.4 Use of Proceeds. Borrowers shall utilize the proceeds of the Loans
solely for the refinancing of any outstanding Obligations under the Existing
Credit Agreement, and the financing of Borrowers' ordinary working capital and
general corporate needs.

     1.5 Interest.

          (a) Borrowers shall pay interest to Agent, for the ratable benefit of
Lenders in accordance with the various Loans being made by each Lender, in
arrears on each applicable Interest Payment Date, at the following rates: (i)
with respect to the Revolving Credit Advances, the Index Rate plus the
Applicable Revolver Index Margin per annum or, at the election of Borrower
Representative, the applicable LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Revolver LIBOR
Margin per annum; and (ii) with respect to the Swing Line Loan, the Index Rate
plus the Applicable Revolver Index Margin per annum.

     The Applicable Margins are as follows:

<TABLE>
<S>                                <C>
Applicable Revolver Index Margin   0.00%
Applicable Revolver LIBOR Margin   1.50%
Applicable L/C Margin              1.50%
</TABLE>

          (b) If any payment on any Loan becomes due and payable on a day other
than a Business Day, the maturity thereof will be extended to the next
succeeding Business Day (except as set forth in the definition of LIBOR Period)
and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at
the then applicable rate during such extension.

          (c) All computations of Fees calculated on a per annum basis and
interest shall be made by Agent on the basis of a 360-day year, in each case for
the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest and
Fees are payable. The Index Rate is a floating rate determined for each day.
Each determination by Agent of an interest rate and Fees hereunder shall be
presumptive evidence of the correctness of such rates and Fees.

          (d) So long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
under SECTION 8.1(A), (H) or (I), or so long as any other Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing and at the election of Requisite Lenders confirmed by
written notice from Agent to Borrower Representative, the interest rates
applicable to the Loans and the Letter of Credit Fees shall be increased by two
percentage points (2%) per annum above the rates of interest or the rate of such
Fees otherwise applicable hereunder unless Agent or Requisite Lenders elect to
impose a smaller increase (the "Default Rate"), and all outstanding Obligations
shall bear interest at the Default


                                        7

<PAGE>

Rate applicable to such Obligations. Interest and Letter of Credit Fees at the
Default Rate shall accrue from the initial date of such Event of Default until
that Event of Default is cured or waived and shall be payable upon demand.

          (e) Subject to the conditions precedent set forth in SECTION 2.2,
Borrower Representative shall have the option to (i) request that any Revolving
Credit Advance be made as a LIBOR Loan, (ii) convert at any time all or any part
of outstanding Loans (other than the Swing Line Loan) from Index Rate Loans to
LIBOR Loans, (iii) convert any LIBOR Loan to an Index Rate Loan, subject to
payment of LIBOR breakage costs in accordance with SECTION 1.13(B) if such
conversion is made prior to the expiration of the LIBOR Period applicable
thereto, or (iv) continue all or any portion of any Loan (other than the Swing
Line Loan) as a LIBOR Loan upon the expiration of the applicable LIBOR Period
and the succeeding LIBOR Period of that continued Loan shall commence on the
first day after the last day of the LIBOR Period of the Loan to be continued.
Any Loan or group of Loans having the same proposed LIBOR Period to be made or
continued as, or converted into, a LIBOR Loan must be in a minimum amount of
$1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of such amount. Any such
election must be made by 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the second Business Day
prior to (1) the date of any proposed Advance which is to bear interest at the
LIBOR Rate, (2) the end of each LIBOR Period with respect to any LIBOR Loans to
be continued as such, or (3) the date on which Borrower Representative wishes to
convert any Index Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan for a LIBOR Period designated by
Borrower Representative in such election. If no election is received with
respect to a LIBOR Loan by 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the second Business Day
prior to the end of the LIBOR Period with respect thereto (or if a Default or an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or if the additional conditions
precedent set forth in SECTION 2.2 shall not have been satisfied), that LIBOR
Loan shall be converted to an Index Rate Loan at the end of its LIBOR Period.
Borrower Representative must make such election by notice to Agent in writing,
by telecopy or overnight courier. In the case of any conversion or continuation,
such election must be made pursuant to a written notice (a "Notice of
Conversion/Continuation") in the form of EXHIBIT 1.5(E).

          (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this SECTION
1.5, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final order that the
rate of interest payable hereunder exceeds the highest rate of interest
permissible under law (the "Maximum Lawful Rate"), then so long as the Maximum
Lawful Rate would be so exceeded, the rate of interest payable hereunder shall
be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate; provided, that if at any time thereafter
the rate of interest payable hereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate,
Borrowers shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate
until such time as the total interest received by Agent, on behalf of Lenders,
is equal to the total interest that would have been received had the interest
rate payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the
interest rate payable since the Closing Date as otherwise provided in this
Agreement. In no event shall the total interest received by any Lender pursuant
to the terms hereof exceed the amount that such Lender could lawfully have
received had the interest due hereunder been calculated for the full term hereof
at the Maximum Lawful Rate.

     1.6 Eligible Accounts. All of the Accounts owned by each Borrower and
reflected in the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate delivered by Borrower
Representative to Agent shall


                                        8

<PAGE>

be "Eligible Accounts" for purposes of this Agreement, except any Account to
which any of the exclusionary criteria set forth below applies. Agent shall have
the right to establish, modify or eliminate Reserves against Eligible Accounts
from time to time in its reasonable credit judgment. In addition, Agent reserves
the right, at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date, to adjust
any of the criteria set forth below and to establish new criteria, and to adjust
advance rates with respect to Eligible Accounts, in its reasonable credit
judgment, reflecting changes in the collectibility or realization values of such
Accounts arising or discovered by Agent after the Closing Date subject to the
approval of Supermajority Revolving Lenders in the case of adjustments or new
criteria or changes in advance rates which have the effect of making more credit
available. Eligible Accounts shall not include any Account of any Borrower:

the Account represents a progress billing consisting of an invoice for goods

Debtor's obligation to pay that invoice is subject to such Borrower's completion
of further performance under such contract or is subject to the equitable lien
of a surety bond issuer;

          (c) to the extent that any defense, counterclaim, setoff or dispute is
asserted as to such Account (it being understood that only the amount subject to

States government or a political subdivision thereof, or any state, county or

its sole discretion, has agreed to the contrary in writing and such Borrower, if
necessary or desirable, has complied with respect to such obligation with the
Federal Assignment of Claims Act of 1940, or any applicable state, county or
municipal law restricting the assignment thereof with respect to such
obligation;


                                        9

<PAGE>

          (i) that is the obligation of an Account Debtor located in a foreign
country other than Canada;

          (j) to the extent such Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof is liable
for goods sold or services rendered by the applicable Account Debtor to such
Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof but only to the extent of the potential

          (k) that arises with respect to goods that are delivered on a

conditional;

          (l) that is in default; provided, that without limiting the generality

following its due date or 90 days following its original invoice date;

               (ii) the Account Debtor obligated upon such Account suspends

     1.7 Eligible Inventory. At any time after the Inventory Inclusion Date, all
of the Inventory owned by each Borrower and reflected in the most recent
Borrowing Base Certificate delivered by Borrower's Representative to Agent shall
be "Eligible Inventory" for purposes of this Agreement, except any Inventory to
which any of the exclusionary criteria set forth below applies. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in no event shall the total amount of Eligible Inventory as of
any date exceed $5,000,000 for any Borrower's individual Borrowing Base or the
Aggregate Borrowing Base. Agent shall have the right to establish, modify or
eliminate Reserves against Eligible Inventory from time to time in its
reasonable credit judgment. In addition, Agent reserves the right, at any time
and from time to time after the Closing Date, to adjust the criteria set forth
below and to establish new criteria and to adjust advance rates with respect to
Eligible Inventory, in its reasonable credit judgment reflecting changes in the
saleability or realization values of Inventory arising or discovered by Agent
after the Closing Date, subject to the approval of Supermajority Revolving
Lenders in the case of adjustments or new criteria or changes in advance rates
which have the effect of making more credit available. Eligible Inventory shall
not include any Inventory of any Borrower that:

          (a) is not owned by such Borrower free and clear of all Liens and
rights of any other Person (including the rights of a purchaser that has made
progress payments and the rights of a surety that has issued a bond to assure
such Borrower's performance with respect to that Inventory), except the Liens in
favor of Agent, on behalf of itself and Lenders, and Permitted Encumbrances in
favor of landlords and bailees to the extent permitted in Section 5.9 hereof
(subject to Reserves established by Agent in accordance with Section 5.9
hereof);

          (b) (i) is not located on premises owned, leased or rented by such
Borrower and set forth in Disclosure Schedule (3.2), or (ii) is stored at a

reasonably satisfactory, acknowledged bailee letter has been received by Agent
and Reserves reasonably satisfactory to Agent have been established with respect
thereto, or (iv) is located at an owned location subject to a mortgage in favor

          (c) is placed on consignment or is in transit;

     1.8 Cash Management System. On or prior to the Closing Date, Borrowers will
establish and will maintain until the Termination Date, the cash management
system described in ANNEX C (the "Cash Management System").

     1.9 Fees.

          (a) Borrowers shall pay to GE Capital, individually, the Fees
specified in the GE Capital Fee Letter on the Closing Date.

          (b) As additional compensation for the Revolving Lenders, Borrowers
shall pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of such Lenders, in arrears, on the
first Business Day of each month prior to the Commitment Termination Date and on
the Commitment Termination Date, a Fee for Borrowers' non-use of available funds
in an amount equal to 0.25% per annum (calculated on the basis of a 360 day year
for actual days elapsed) multiplied by the difference between (x) the Maximum
Amount (as it may be reduced from time to time) and (y) the average for the
period of the aggregate daily closing balances of (A) the Revolving Loan and the
Swing Line Loan, and (B) the Canadian Revolving Loan and the Canadian Swing Line
Loan, in each case outstanding during the period for which such Fee is due.

          (c) Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Revolving
Lenders, the Letter of Credit Fee as provided in ANNEX B.

     1.10 Receipt of Payments. Borrowers shall make each payment under this
Agreement not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day when due in
immediately available funds in Dollars to the Collection Account. For purposes
of computing Fees and determining Borrowing Availability as of any date, all
payments shall be deemed received on the Business Day on which


                                       12

<PAGE>

immediately available funds therefor are received in the Collection Account
prior to 2:00 p.m. New York time. For purposes of computing interest, all
payments shall be deemed received on the first Business Day following the
Business Day on which immediately available funds therefor are received in the
Collection Account prior to 2:00 p.m. New York time. Payments received after
2:00 p.m. New York time on any Business Day or on a day that is not a Business
Day shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day.

     1.11 Application and Allocation of Payments.

          (a) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (i)
payments consisting of proceeds of Accounts received in the ordinary course of
business shall be applied, first, to the Swing Line Loan and, second, to the
Revolving Loan; and (ii) mandatory prepayments shall be applied as set forth in
SECTIONS 1.3(C) and 1.3(D). All payments and prepayments applied to a particular
Loan shall be applied ratably to the portion thereof held by each Lender as
determined by its Pro Rata Share. As to any other payment, and as to all
payments made when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or
following the Commitment Termination Date, each Borrower hereby irrevocably
waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments received from
or on behalf of such Borrower, and each Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees that
Agent shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply any and all such
payments against the Obligations as Agent may deem advisable notwithstanding any
previous entry by Agent in the Loan Account or any other books and records. In
the absence of a specific determination by Agent with respect thereto, payments
shall be applied to amounts then due and payable in the following order: (1) to
Fees and Agent's expenses reimbursable hereunder; (2) to interest on the Swing
Line Loan; (3) to principal payments on the Swing Line Loan; (4) to interest on
the other Loans, ratably in proportion to the interest accrued as to each Loan;
(5) to principal payments on the other Loans and to provide cash collateral for
Letter of Credit Obligations in the manner described in ANNEX B, ratably to the
aggregate, combined principal balance of the other Loans and outstanding Letter
of Credit Obligations; and (6) to all other Obligations including expenses of
Lenders to the extent reimbursable under SECTION 11.3.

          (b) Agent is authorized to, and at its sole election may, charge to
the Revolving Loan balance on behalf of each Borrower and cause to be paid all
Fees, expenses, Charges, costs (including insurance premiums in accordance with
SECTION 5.4(A)) and interest and principal, other than principal of the
Revolving Loan, owing by Borrowers under this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents if and to the extent Borrowers fail to pay promptly any such amounts
as and when due, even if the amount of such charges would exceed Borrowing
Availability at such time. At Agent's option and to the extent permitted by law,
any charges so made shall constitute part of the Revolving Loan hereunder.

     1.12 Loan Account and Accounting. Agent shall maintain a loan account (the
"Loan Account") on its books to record all Advances and all payments made by
Borrowers, and all other debits and credits as provided in this Agreement with
respect to the Loans or any other Obligations. All entries in the Loan Account
shall be made in accordance with Agent's customary accounting practices as in
effect from time to time. The balance in the Loan Account, as recorded on
Agent's most recent printout or other written statement, shall, absent manifest
error, be presumptive evidence of the amounts due and owing to Agent and Lenders
by each Borrower; provided that any failure to so record or any error in so
recording shall not limit or


                                       13

<PAGE>

otherwise affect any Borrower's duty to pay the Obligations. Agent shall render
to Borrower Representative a monthly accounting of transactions with respect to
the Loans setting forth the balance of the Loan Account as to each Borrower for
the immediately preceding month. Unless Borrower Representative notifies Agent
in writing of any objection to any such accounting (specifically describing the
basis for such objection), 30 days after the date thereof, each and every such
accounting shall be presumptive evidence of all matters reflected therein. Only
those items expressly objected to in such notice shall be deemed to be disputed
by Borrowers. Notwithstanding any provision herein contained to the contrary,
any Lender may elect (which election may be revoked) to dispense with the
issuance of Notes to that Lender and may rely on the Loan Account as evidence of
the amount of Obligations from time to time owing to it.

     1.13 Indemnity.

          (a) Each Credit Party that is a signatory hereto shall jointly and
severally indemnify and hold harmless each of Agent, Lenders and their
respective Affiliates, and each such Person's respective officers, directors,
employees, attorneys, agents and representatives (each, an "Indemnified
Person"), from and against any and all suits, actions, proceedings, claims,
damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees
and disbursements and other costs of investigation or defense, including those
incurred upon any appeal) that may be instituted or asserted against or incurred
by any such Indemnified Person as the result of credit having been extended,
suspended or terminated under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and
the administration of such credit, and in connection with or arising out of the
transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder and any actions or failures
to act in connection therewith, including any and all Environmental Liabilities
and legal costs and expenses arising out of or incurred in connection with
disputes between or among any parties to any of the Loan Documents
(collectively, "Indemnified Liabilities"); provided, that no such Credit Party
shall be liable for any indemnification to an Indemnified Person to the extent
that any such suit, action, proceeding, claim, damage, loss, liability or
expense results from that Indemnified Person's gross negligence or willful
misconduct. NO INDEMNIFIED PERSON SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO ANY OTHER
PARTY TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, ANY SUCCESSOR, ASSIGNEE OR THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY
OF SUCH PERSON OR ANY OTHER PERSON ASSERTING CLAIMS DERIVATIVELY THROUGH SUCH
PARTY, FOR INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHICH MAY BE
ALLEGED AS A RESULT OF CREDIT HAVING BEEN EXTENDED, SUSPENDED OR TERMINATED
UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR AS A RESULT OF ANY OTHER TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED
HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.

          (b) To induce Lenders to provide the LIBOR Rate option on the terms
provided herein, if (i) any LIBOR Loans are repaid in whole or in part prior to
the last day of any applicable LIBOR Period (whether that repayment is made
pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or occurs
as a result of acceleration, by operation of law or otherwise); (ii) any
Borrower shall default in payment when due of the principal amount of or
interest on any LIBOR Loan; (iii) any Borrower shall refuse to accept any
borrowing of, or shall request a termination of any borrowing of, conversion
into or continuation of LIBOR Loans after Borrower Representative has given
notice requesting the same in accordance herewith; or


                                       14

<PAGE>

(iv) any Borrower shall fail to make any prepayment of a LIBOR Loan after
Borrower Representative has given a notice thereof in accordance herewith, then
Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless each Lender
from and against all losses, costs and expenses resulting from or arising from
any of the foregoing. Such indemnification shall include any loss (including
loss of margin) or expense arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by it
or from fees payable to terminate deposits from which such funds were obtained.
For the purpose of calculating amounts payable to a Lender under this
subsection, each Lender shall be deemed to have actually funded its relevant
LIBOR Loan through the purchase of a deposit bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate
in an amount equal to the amount of that LIBOR Loan and having a maturity
comparable to the relevant LIBOR Period; provided, that each Lender may fund
each of its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit, and the foregoing assumption
shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under this
subsection. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and
the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder. As promptly as
practicable under the circumstances, each Lender shall provide Borrower
Representative with its written calculation of all amounts payable pursuant to
this SECTION 1.13(B), and such calculation shall be binding on the parties
hereto unless Borrower Representative shall object in writing within ten
Business Days of receipt thereof, specifying the basis for such objection in
detail.

     1.14 Access.

          (a) Each Credit Party that is a party hereto shall, during normal
business hours, from time to time upon two Business Days' prior notice as
frequently as Agent reasonably determines to be appropriate: (a) provide Agent
and any of its officers, employees and agents access to its properties,
facilities, advisors, officers and employees of each Credit Party and to the
Collateral, (b) permit Agent, and any of its officers, employees and agents, to
inspect, audit and make extracts from any Credit Party's books and records, and
(c) permit Agent, and its officers, employees and agents, to inspect, review,
evaluate and make test verifications and counts of the Accounts, Inventory and
other Collateral of any Credit Party. If an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, each such Credit Party shall provide such access to Agent at all
times and without advance notice. Furthermore, so long as any Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers shall provide Agent with access to
their suppliers and customers. Each Credit Party shall make available to Agent
and its counsel reasonably promptly originals or copies of all books and records
that Agent may reasonably request. Each Credit Party shall deliver any document
or instrument necessary for Agent, as it may from time to time reasonably
request, to obtain records from any service bureau or other Person that
maintains records for such Credit Party, and shall maintain duplicate records or
supporting documentation on media, including computer tapes and discs owned by
such Credit Party. Agent will give Lenders at least five days' prior written
notice of regularly scheduled audits. Representatives of other Lenders may
accompany Agent's representatives on regularly scheduled audits at no charge to
Borrowers.

          (b) Borrowers shall pay Agent the Fee specified in the GE Capital Fee
Letter in connection with Lender's field examinations permitted under SECTION
1.14(A) and SECTION 4(C) of the Security Agreement. Such Fees and expenses shall
be charged against the Revolving Loan in connection with each field audit
conducted after the Closing Date, but shall not be duplicative of the Fees and
expenses payable under SECTION 1.14(B) of the Canadian Credit Agreement.


                                       15

     1.15 Taxes.

          (a) Any and all payments by each Borrower hereunder (including any
payments made pursuant to SECTION 12) or under the Notes shall be made, in
accordance with this SECTION 1.15, free and clear of and without deduction for
any and all present or future Taxes. If any Borrower shall be required by law to
deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder (including any
sum payable pursuant to SECTION 12) or under the Notes, (i) the sum payable
shall be increased as much as shall be necessary so that after making all
required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable
under this SECTION 1.15) Agent or Lenders, as applicable, receive an amount
equal to the sum they would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii)
such Borrower shall make such deductions, and (iii) such Borrower shall pay the
full amount deducted to the relevant taxing or other authority in accordance
with applicable law. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes,
Borrower Representative shall furnish to Agent the original or a certified copy
of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

          (b) Each Credit Party that is a signatory hereto shall jointly and
severally indemnify and, within ten days of demand therefor, pay Agent and each
Lender for the full amount of Taxes (including any Taxes imposed by any
jurisdiction on amounts payable under this SECTION 1.15) paid by Agent or such
Lender, as appropriate, and any liability (including penalties, interest and
expenses, except to the extent that any such penalties, interest or expenses
resulted from Agent's or such Lender's, as the case may be, gross negligence or
willful misconduct) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not
such Taxes were correctly or legally asserted.

          (c) Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the
United States (a "Foreign Lender") as to which payments to be made under this
Agreement or under the Notes are wholly exempt from United States withholding
tax under an applicable statute or tax treaty shall provide to Borrower
Representative and Agent a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8ECI or
Form W-8BEN or other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the
IRS or the United States certifying as to such Foreign Lender's entitlement to
such exemption (a "Certificate of Exemption"). Any foreign Person that seeks to
become a Lender under this Agreement shall provide a Certificate of Exemption to
Borrower Representative and Agent prior to becoming a Lender hereunder. No
foreign Person may become a Lender hereunder if such Person fails to deliver a
Certificate of Exemption in advance of becoming a Lender.

          (d) If a Lender receives a refund of any Charges or other amounts as
to which such Lender has been indemnified in accordance with SECTION 1.15 or on
account of which additional amounts have been paid by Credit Parties in
accordance with SECTIONS 1.15 or 12, then Lender will pay over such refund or
other amount to the applicable Credit Party, together with any cash interest
actually received thereupon from the applicable Governmental Authority;
provided, that no such refund shall include any foreign tax credit or similar
credit provided by any jurisdiction to any Lender.

     1.16 Capital Adequacy; Increased Costs; Illegality.

          (a) If any law, treaty, governmental (or quasi-governmental) rule,
regulation, guideline or order regarding capital adequacy, reserve requirements
or similar requirements or compliance by any Lender with any request or
directive regarding capital adequacy, reserve requirements or similar
requirements (whether or not having the force of law), in each case, adopted
after the Closing Date, from any central bank or other Governmental Authority
increases or would have the effect of increasing the amount of capital, reserves
or other funds required to be maintained by such Lender and thereby reducing the
rate of return on such Lender's capital as a consequence of its obligations
hereunder, then Borrowers shall from time to time upon demand by such Lender
(with a copy of such demand to Agent) pay to Agent, for the account of such
Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such
reduction. A certificate as to the amount of that reduction and showing the
basis of the computation thereof submitted by such Lender to Borrower
Representative and to Agent shall be presumptive evidence of the matters set
forth therein.

          (b) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in any law
or regulation (or any change in the interpretation thereof) or (ii) the
compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other
Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), in each case
adopted after the Closing Date, there shall be any increase in the cost to any
Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Loan, then
Borrowers shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of
such demand to Agent), pay to Agent for the account of such Lender additional
amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost. A
certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to Borrower
Representative and to Agent by such Lender, shall be presumptive evidence of the
matters set forth therein. Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable
after it becomes aware of any circumstances referred to above which would result
in any such increased cost, the affected Lender shall, to the extent not
inconsistent with such Lender's internal policies of general application, use
reasonable commercial efforts to minimize costs and expenses incurred by it and
payable to it by Borrowers pursuant to this SECTION 1.16(B).

          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the
introduction of or any change in any law or regulation (or any change in the
interpretation thereof) shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other
Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender to agree
to make or to make or to continue to fund or maintain any LIBOR Loan, then,
unless that Lender is able to make or to continue to fund or to maintain such
LIBOR Loan at another branch or office of that Lender without, in that Lender's
reasonable opinion, materially adversely affecting it or its Loans or the income
obtained therefrom, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to
Borrower Representative through Agent, (i) the obligation of such Lender to
agree to make or to make or to continue to fund or maintain LIBOR Loans shall
terminate and (ii) each Borrower shall forthwith prepay in full all outstanding
LIBOR Loans owing by such Borrower to such Lender, together with interest
accrued thereon, unless Borrower Representative on behalf of such Borrower,
within five Business Days after the delivery of such notice and demand, converts
all LIBOR Loans owing to such Lender into Index Rate Loans.


                                       17

<PAGE>

          (d) Within 30 days after receipt by Borrower Representative of written
notice and demand from any Lender (an "Affected Lender") for payment of
additional amounts or increased costs as provided in SECTIONS 1.15(A), 1.16(A),
1.16(B) or 1.16(C), Borrower Representative may, at its option, notify Agent and
such Affected Lender of its intention to replace the Affected Lender. So long as
no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower
Representative, with the consent of Agent, may obtain, at Borrowers' expense, a
replacement Lender ("Replacement Lender") for the Affected Lender, which
Replacement Lender must be reasonably satisfactory to Agent. If Borrowers obtain
a Replacement Lender within 120 days following notice of their intention to do
so, the Affected Lender must sell and assign its Loans and Commitments to such
Replacement Lender for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Loans
held by the Affected Lender and all accrued interest and Fees with respect
thereto through the date of such sale and such assignment shall not require the
payment of an assignment fee to Agent; provided, that Borrowers shall have
reimbursed such Affected Lender for the additional amounts or increased costs
that it is entitled to receive under this Agreement through the date of such
sale and assignment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrowers shall not have the
right to obtain a Replacement Lender if the Affected Lender rescinds its demand
for increased costs or additional amounts within 15 days following its receipt
of Borrowers' notice of intention to replace such Affected Lender. Furthermore,
if Borrowers give a notice of intention to replace and do not so replace such
Affected Lender within 120 days thereafter, Borrowers' rights under this SECTION
1.16(D) shall terminate with respect to such Affected Lender and Borrowers shall
promptly pay all increased costs or additional amounts demanded by such Affected
Lender pursuant to SECTIONS 1.15(A), 1.16(A) and 1.16(B).

     1.17 Single Loan. All Loans to each Borrower and all of the other
Obligations of each Borrower arising under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents shall constitute one general obligation of that Borrower secured,
until the Termination Date, by all of the Collateral.

2. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

     2.1 Conditions to the Initial Loans. No Lender shall be obligated to make
any Loan or incur any Letter of Credit Obligations on the Closing Date, or to
take, fulfill, or perform any other action hereunder, until the following
conditions have been satisfied or provided for in a manner reasonably
satisfactory to Agent, or waived in writing by Agent and Requisite Lenders:

          (a) Credit Agreement; Loan Documents. This Agreement or counterparts
hereof shall have been duly executed by, and delivered to, Borrowers, each other
Credit Party, Agent and Lenders, and Agent shall have received such documents,
instruments, agreements and legal opinions as Agent shall reasonably request in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, including all those listed in the Schedule of Documents attached
hereto as ANNEX D, each in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

          (b) Intercreditor Agreement. The Intercreditor Agreement shall remain
in full force and effect both before and after giving effect to this Agreement
and the transactions contemplated hereby, all on terms and in form and substance
satisfactory to Agent and its counsel.


                                       18

<PAGE>

          (c) Approvals. Agent shall have received (i) satisfactory evidence
that the Credit Parties have obtained all required consents and approvals of all
Persons (with the consent of Key Bank being deemed a required consent) including
all requisite Governmental Authorities, to the execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation
of the Related Transactions or (ii) an officer's certificate in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent affirming that no such consents or
approvals are required.

          (d) Opening Liquidity. The Eligible Accounts and Eligible Inventory
supporting the initial Revolving Credit Advance and the initial Letter of Credit
Obligations incurred and the amount of the Reserves to be established on the
Closing Date shall be sufficient in value, as determined by Agent, to provide
Borrowers, collectively, with Liquidity, after giving effect to the initial
Revolving Credit Advance made to each Borrower, the incurrence of any initial
Letter of Credit Obligations and the consummation of the Related Transactions
(on a pro forma basis, with trade payables being paid currently, and expenses
and liabilities being paid in the ordinary course of business and without
acceleration of sales) of at least $5,000,000.

          (e) Payment of Fees. Borrowers shall have paid the Fees required to be
paid on the Closing Date in the respective amounts specified in SECTION 1.9, and
shall have reimbursed Agent for all fees, costs and expenses of closing
presented as of the Closing Date to the extent reimbursable under SECTION 11.3.

          (f) Capital Structure: Other Indebtedness. The capital structure of
each Credit Party and the terms and conditions of all Indebtedness of each
Credit Party shall be acceptable to Agent in its sole discretion.

          (g) Due Diligence. Agent shall have completed its business and legal
due diligence, including a roll forward of its previous Collateral audit with
results reasonably satisfactory to Agent. Without limiting the foregoing, the
corporate structure, capital structure, other debt instruments, material
contracts, and governing documents of Borrowers, the other Credit Parties and
their respective Affiliates must be acceptable to Agent.

          (h) Consummation of Related Transactions. Agent shall have received
fully executed copies of each of the Related Transactions Documents, each of
which shall be in full force and effect in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Agent. The Related Transactions shall have been consummated in
accordance with the terms of the Related Transactions Documents.

     2.2 Further Conditions to Each Loan. Except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, no Lender shall be obligated to fund any Advance, convert or continue
any Loan as a LIBOR Loan or incur any Letter of Credit Obligation, if, as of the
date thereof:

          (a) any representation or warranty by any Credit Party contained
herein or in any other Loan Document is untrue or incorrect as of such date as
determined by Agent or Requisite Lenders, except to the extent that such
representation or warranty expressly relates to an earlier date and except for
changes therein expressly permitted or expressly contemplated by this Agreement,
and Agent or Requisite Revolving Lenders have determined not to make such


                                       19

<PAGE>

Advance, convert or continue any Loan as LIBOR Loan or incur such Letter of
Credit Obligation as a result of the fact that such warranty or representation
is untrue or incorrect;

          (b) (i) any "Default" or "Event of Default" has occurred and is
continuing under and as defined in the Canadian Credit Agreement, or (ii) any
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result
hereunder after giving effect to any Advance (or the incurrence of any Letter of
Credit Obligation), and Agent or Requisite Revolving Lenders shall have
determined not to make any Advance, convert or continue any Loan as a LIBOR Loan
or incur any Letter of Credit Obligation as a result of that "Default" or "Event
of Default" under the Canadian Credit Agreement or that Default or Event of
Default hereunder; or

          (c) after giving effect to any Advance (or the incurrence of any
Letter of Credit Obligations), the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving
Loan would exceed the lesser of (i) the Aggregate Borrowing Base less the then
outstanding principal amount of the Swing Line Loan, and (ii) the Maximum Amount
less the sum of then outstanding principal amount of the Swing Line Loan,
Canadian Revolving Loan and Canadian Swing Line Loan.

The request and acceptance by any Borrower of the proceeds of any Advance, the
incurrence of any Letter of Credit Obligations or the conversion or continuation
of any Loan into, or as, a LIBOR Loan shall be deemed to constitute, as of the
date thereof, (i) a representation and warranty by Borrowers that the conditions
in this SECTION 2.2 have been satisfied and (ii) a reaffirmation by Borrowers of
the cross-guaranty provisions set forth in SECTION 12 and of the granting and
continuance of Agent's Liens, on behalf of itself and Lenders, pursuant to the
Collateral Documents.

     2.3 Special Provisions Relating to Sovereign and Sovereign Flex.

     Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
the following terms and conditions shall apply to and in respect of Sovereign
and Sovereign Flex from and after the Closing Date until the date on which the
Agent notifies Borrower Representative that the Agent is satisfied (in its sole
discretion) with the terms and conditions of the Key Amendment Documents (all
capitalized terms used in this SECTION 2.3 not otherwise defined in this
Agreement shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto at the end of this
SECTION 2.3):

          (a) Neither Sovereign nor Sovereign Flex shall directly or indirectly
receive any proceeds of any Loans, whether from any Lender or from any other
Credit Party, whether in the form of an intercompany loan or advance or
contribution or otherwise;

          (b) Neither Sovereign nor Sovereign Flex shall receive any proceeds of
any loans or advances directly or indirectly from any Credit Party or Key Bank
(all references in this SECTION 2.3 to Key Bank shall be deemed to include
reference to any successor or assign of Key Bank) whether in the form of a loan
or an intercompany loan or advance or contribution or otherwise, it being
acknowledged by Sovereign and Sovereign Flex that their current operations and
cash are sufficient for their working capital needs during the period prior to
the Key Amendment Date.


                                       20

<PAGE>

          (c) No assets of Sovereign or Sovereign Flex shall be eligible for
inclusion in any Borrowing Base or any Aggregate Borrowing Base;

          (d) The representations and warranties made by Sovereign and Sovereign
Flex in the Loan Documents, insofar as they are inaccurate due solely to the
continued existence of the Existing Key Documents, shall not be deemed made by
the Borrowers or any of them until the earlier to occur of the Key Amendment
Date and April 20, 2007;

          (e) The covenants made by Sovereign and Sovereign Flex in the Loan
Documents to the extent that they prohibit the existence of the Existing Key
Documents shall not be deemed breached due solely to the continued existence of
the Existing Key Documents during the period expiring on the earlier to occur of
the Key Amendment Date and April 20, 2007;

          (f) The Borrowers represent and warrant to the Lenders and the Agent
as follows:

               (i) No Borrower has any liabilities, indebtedness or obligations
of any kind owing to Key Bank except for the direct obligations of Sovereign and
Sovereign Flex arising under the Existing Key Documents, the payment of which

covenants of Sovereign and Sovereign Flex under the Loan Documents that conflict
with the obligations owing by Sovereign and Sovereign Flex under the Existing
Key Documents;

          (h) The Existing Key Documents shall not be amended, modified or

Agreement, Lenders shall be entitled at their option to impose a reserve equal
to the aggregate amount of the obligations owing under the Existing Key
Documents until such time as all obligations owing to Key Bank are secured

be deemed to preclude unsecured obligations owing to Key Bank in the ordinary
course of business in respect of customary cash management arrangements between
Sovereign and Sovereign Flex, on the one hand, and Key Bank, on the other hand,
such arrangements to be and remain subject in any event to all other applicable
provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents);

     3.4 Financial Statements and Projections. Except for the Projections, all
Financial Statements concerning Borrowers and their Subsidiaries that are
referred to below have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently
applied throughout the periods covered (except as disclosed therein and except,
with respect to unaudited Financial Statements, for the absence of footnotes and
normal year-end audit adjustments) and present fairly in all material respects
the financial position of the Persons covered thereby as at the dates thereof
and the results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended.

          (a) Financial Statements. The following Financial Statements have been
delivered to Agent on or prior to the date hereof:

               (i) The audited consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2006,
and the related statements of income and cash flows for Parent and its
Subsidiaries for the Fiscal Year then ended.

               (ii) The unaudited balance sheet(s) at February 28, 2007 and the

          (b) Projections. The Projections delivered to Agent on or prior to the
date hereof have been prepared by Borrowers in light of the past operations of
their businesses, but including future payments of known contingent liabilities
and reflect projections for the one-year period beginning on January 1, 2007, on
a month-by-month basis. The Projections are based upon the same accounting
principles as those used in the preparation of the financial statements


                                       24

<PAGE>

described above and the estimates and assumptions stated therein, all of which
Borrowers believe to be reasonable and fair in light of current conditions and
current facts known to Borrowers and, as of the Closing Date, reflect Borrowers'
good faith and reasonable estimates of the future financial performance of
Borrowers for the period set forth therein, it being understood that uncertainty
is inherent in any forecasts or projections and that no assurance can be given
that the results set forth in the Projections will actually be obtained. The
Projections are not a guaranty of future performance, and actual results may
differ from the Projections.

     3.5 Material Adverse Effect. Between January 1, 2007, and the Closing Date,
(a) no Credit Party has incurred any obligations, contingent or noncontingent
liabilities, liabilities for Charges, long-term leases or unusual forward or
long-term commitments that are not reflected in the Projections and that, alone
or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect, (b) no contract, lease or other agreement or instrument has been entered
into by any Credit Party or has become binding upon any Credit Party's assets
and no law or regulation applicable to any Credit Party has been adopted that
has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and
(c) no Credit Party is in default, and to the best of Borrowers' knowledge no
third party is in default, under any material contract, lease or other agreement
or instrument, that alone or in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect. Since January 1, 2007, no event has occurred,
that alone or together with other events, could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

     3.6 Ownership of Property; Liens. As of the Closing Date, the real estate
("Real Estate") listed in DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE (3.6) constitutes all of the real
property owned, leased, subleased, or used by any Credit Party. Each Credit
Party owns good and marketable fee simple title to all of its owned Real Estate,
and valid and marketable leasehold interests in all of its leased Real Estate,
all as described in DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE (3.6), and copies of all such leases or
a summary of terms thereof reasonably satisfactory to Agent have been delivered
to Agent. DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE (3.6) further describes any Real Estate with
respect to which any Credit Party is a lessor, sublessor or assignor as of the
Closing Date. Each Credit Party also has good and marketable title to, or valid
leasehold interests in, all of its personal property and assets. As of the
Closing Date, none of the properties and assets of any Credit Party are subject
to any Liens other than Permitted Encumbrances, and there are no facts,
circumstances or conditions known to any Credit Party that may result in any
Liens (including Liens arising under Environmental Laws) other than Permitted
Encumbrances. Each Credit Party has received all deeds, assignments, waivers,
consents, nondisturbance and attornment or similar agreements, bills of sale and
other documents, and has duly effected all recordings, filings and other actions
necessary to establish, protect and perfect such Credit Party's right, title and
interest in and to all such Real Estate and other properties and assets.
DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE (3.6) also describes any purchase options, rights of first
refusal or other similar contractual rights pertaining to any Real Estate. As of
the Closing Date, no portion of any Credit Party's Real Estate has suffered any
material damage by fire or other casualty loss that has not heretofore been
repaired and restored in all material respects to its original condition or
otherwise remedied. As of the Closing Date, all material permits required to
have been issued or appropriate to enable the Real Estate to be lawfully
occupied and used for all of the purposes for which it is currently occupied and
used have been lawfully issued and are in full force and effect.

Credit Party comply in all material respects with the Fair Labor Standards Act

organizing activity involving any Credit Party pending or, to any Credit Party's

complaints or charges against any Credit Party pending or, to the knowledge of
any Credit Party, threatened to be filed with any Governmental Authority or
arbitrator based on, arising out of, in connection with, or otherwise relating
to the employment or termination of employment by any Credit Party of any
individual.

     3.8 Ventures, Subsidiaries and Affiliates; Outstanding Stock and
Indebtedness. Except as set forth in DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE (3.8), as of the
Closing Date, no Credit Party has any Subsidiaries, is engaged in any joint
venture or partnership with any other Person, or is an Affiliate of any other
Person. All of the issued and outstanding Stock of each Credit Party is owned by
each of the Stockholders and in the amounts set forth in DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE
(3.8). Except as set forth in DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE (3.8), there are no
outstanding rights to purchase, options, warrants or similar rights or
agreements pursuant to which any Credit Party may be required to issue, sell,
repurchase or redeem any of its Stock or other equity securities or any Stock or
other equity securities of its Subsidiaries. All outstanding Indebtedness and
Guaranteed Indebtedness of each Credit Party as of the Closing Date (except for
the Obligations) is described in SECTION 6.3 (including DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE
(6.3)).

     3.9 Government Regulation. No Credit Party is an "investment company" or an
"affiliated person" of, or "promoter" or "principal underwriter" for, an
"investment company," as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of
1940. No Credit Party is subject to regulation under the Public Utility Holding
Company Act of 1935, the Federal Power Act, or any other federal or state
statute that restricts or limits its ability to incur Indebtedness or to perform
its obligations hereunder. The making of the Loans by Lenders to Borrowers, the
incurrence of the Letter of Credit Obligations on behalf of Borrowers, the
application of the proceeds thereof and repayment thereof and the consummation
of the Related Transactions will not violate any provision of any such statute
or any rule, regulation or order issued by the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

     3.10 Margin Regulations. No Credit Party is engaged, nor will it engage,
principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending
credit for the purpose of "purchasing" or "carrying" any "margin stock" as such
terms are defined in Regulation U of the Federal Reserve Board as now and from
time to time hereafter in effect (such securities being referred to herein as
"Margin Stock"). No Credit Party owns any Margin Stock, and none of the proceeds
of the Loans or other extensions of credit under this Agreement will be used,
directly or


                                       26

<PAGE>

indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock, for the
purpose of reducing or retiring any Indebtedness that was originally incurred to
purchase or carry any Margin Stock or for any other purpose that might cause any
of the Loans or other extensions of credit under this Agreement to be considered
a "purpose credit" within the meaning of Regulations T, U or X of the Federal
Reserve Board. No Credit Party will take or permit to be taken any action that
might cause any Loan Document to violate any regulation of the Federal Reserve
Board.

     3.11 Taxes. All Federal and other material tax returns, reports and
statements, including information returns, required by any Governmental
Authority to be filed by any Credit Party have been filed with the appropriate
Governmental Authority, and all Charges have been paid prior to the date on
which any fine, penalty, interest or late charge may be added thereto for
nonpayment thereof, excluding Charges or other amounts being contested in
accordance with SECTION 5.2(B) and unless the failure to so file or pay would
not reasonably be expected to result in fines, penalties or interest in excess
of $250,000 in the aggregate. Proper and accurate amounts have been withheld by
each Credit Party from its respective employees for all periods in full and
complete compliance with all applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws
and such withholdings have been timely paid to the respective Governmental
Authorities. DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE (3.11) sets forth as of the Closing Date those
taxable years for which any Credit Party's tax returns are currently being
audited by the IRS or any other applicable Governmental Authority and any
assessments or threatened assessments in connection with such audit, or
otherwise currently outstanding. Except as described in DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE
(3.11), as of the Closing Date, no Credit Party has executed or filed with the
IRS or any other Governmental Authority any agreement or other document
extending, or having the effect of extending, the period for assessment or
collection of any Charges. None of the Credit Parties and their respective
predecessors are liable for any Charges (a) under any agreement (including any
tax sharing agreements) or (b) to each Credit Party's knowledge, as a
transferee. As of the Closing Date, no Credit Party has agreed or been requested
to make any adjustment under IRC Section 481(a), by reason of a change in
accounting method or otherwise, which would reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

     3.12 ERISA.

          (a) DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE (3.12) lists as of the Closing Date all
material Plans. Copies of all listed Title IV Plans, if any, together with a
copy of the latest Form 5500-series report for each such Title IV Plan, have
been made available to Agent. Except with respect to Multiemployer Plans, each
Qualified Plan has received a favorable determination or opinion letter from the
IRS or is within the applicable remedial amendment period. Except as would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: (i) each Plan is in
compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the
IRC and its terms, including the timely filing of all reports required under the
IRC or ERISA; (ii) neither any Credit Party nor ERISA Affiliate has failed to
make any material contribution or pay any material amount due as required by
either Section 412 of the IRC or Section 302 of ERISA or the terms of any such
Plan; and (iii) no non-exempt "prohibited transaction," as defined in Section
406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the IRC, has occurred with respect to any Plan,
that would reasonably be expected to subject any Credit Party to a material tax
on prohibited transactions imposed by Section 502(i) of ERISA or Section 4975 of
the IRC.


                                       27

of any Credit Party, threatened material claims (other than claims for benefits
in the normal course), sanctions, actions or lawsuits, asserted or instituted
against any Plan or any Person as fiduciary or sponsor of any Plan that could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (iv) no Credit Party
or ERISA Affiliate has incurred or reasonably expects to incur any material
liability as a result of a complete or partial withdrawal from a Multiemployer
Plan; and (v) within the last five years no Title IV Plan of any Credit Party or
ERISA Affiliate has been terminated, whether or not in a "standard termination"
as that term is used in Section 4041 of ERISA, nor has any Title IV Plan of any
Credit Party or any ERISA Affiliate (determined at any time within the last five
years) with material Unfunded Pension Liabilities been transferred outside of
the "controlled group" (within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(14) of ERISA) of
any Credit Party or ERISA Affiliate (determined at such time).

     3.13 No Litigation. No action, claim, lawsuit, demand, investigation or
proceeding is now pending or, to the knowledge of any Credit Party, threatened
against any Credit Party, before any Governmental Authority or before any
arbitrator or panel of arbitrators (collectively, "Litigation"), (a) that
challenges any Credit Party's right or power to enter into or perform any of its
obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party, or the validity or
enforceability of any Loan Document or any action taken thereunder, or (b) that
has a reasonable risk of being determined adversely to any Credit Party and
that, if so determined, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. Except as set forth in DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE (3.13), as of the Closing
Date there is no Litigation pending or, to any Credit Party's knowledge,
threatened, that seeks damages (if specified) in excess of $500,000 or
injunctive relief against, or alleges criminal misconduct of, any Credit Party.

     3.14 Brokers. Except as set forth in DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE (3.14), no broker
or finder brought about the obtaining, making or closing of the Loans or the
Related Transactions, and no Credit Party or Affiliate thereof has any
obligation to any Person in respect of any finder's or brokerage fees in
connection therewith.

     3.15 Intellectual Property. As of the Closing Date, each Credit Party owns
or has rights to use all Intellectual Property necessary to continue to conduct
its business as now conducted by it or presently proposed to be conducted by it
in all material respects, and each Patent, Trademark, Copyright and License is
listed, together with application or registration numbers, as applicable, in
DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE (3.15). Each Credit Party conducts its business and affairs
without infringement of or interference with any Intellectual Property of any
other Person in any material respect. Except as set forth in DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE
(3.15), no Credit Party is aware of any material infringement claim by any other
Person with respect to any Intellectual Property.

     3.16 Full Disclosure. No information contained in this Agreement, any of
the other Loan Documents, Financial Statements or Collateral Reports or other
written reports from time to time prepared by any Credit Party and delivered
hereunder or any written statement prepared by any Credit Party and furnished by
or on behalf of any Credit Party to Agent or any Lender pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement contains or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact
or omits or will omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under
which they were made. Projections from time to time delivered hereunder are or

financial performance of Borrowers and of the other information projected
therein for the period set forth therein. Such Projections are not a guaranty of
future performance and actual results may differ from those set forth in such
Projections. The Liens granted to Agent, on behalf of itself and Lenders,
pursuant to the Collateral Documents will at all times be fully perfected first
priority Liens in and to the Collateral described therein to the extent
perfection can be achieved under the Code through either possession, control, or
the filing of financing statements, and such possession, control or filings, as
appropriate, has occurred, subject, as to priority, only to Permitted
Encumbrances.

          (a) Except as set forth in DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE (3.17), as of the
Closing Date: (i) the Real Estate is free of contamination from any Hazardous
Material except for such contamination that would not adversely impact the value

Liabilities that could reasonably be expected to exceed $500,000; (ii) no Credit
Party has caused or permitted any material Release of Hazardous Materials on,

in good standing; (v) no Credit Party is involved in operations or knows of any
facts, circumstances or conditions, including any Releases of Hazardous

identifying it as a "potentially responsible party" or requesting information

before any thereof shall become past due, except in the case of CLAUSES (I),
(III) and (IV) where the failure to pay or discharge such Charges would not
result in aggregate liabilities in excess of $300,000.

          (b) Each Credit Party may in good faith contest, by appropriate
proceedings, the validity or amount of any Charges, Taxes or claims described in
SECTION 5.2(A); provided, that: (i) adequate reserves with respect to such

GAAP; (ii) no Lien shall be imposed to secure payment of such Charges (other

basis consistent with the Financial Statements attached as Disclosure Schedule

     5.4 Insurance; Damage to or Destruction of Collateral.

          (a) The Credit Parties shall, at their sole cost and expense, maintain
from and after the Closing Date at all times the policies of insurance described
in DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE (3.18) as in effect on the date hereof or otherwise in
form and amounts and with insurers reasonably acceptable to Agent, provided that
with respect to Sovereign and Sovereign Flex , such period shall commence on May
1, 2007 rather than the Closing Date. Such policies of insurance (or the loss
payable and additional insured endorsements delivered to Agent, which with
respect to only Sovereign and Sovereign Flex shall be delivered on or before May
31, 2007) shall contain provisions pursuant to which the insurer agrees to
provide 30 days prior written notice to Agent in the event of any non-renewal,
cancellation or amendment of any such


                                       32

<PAGE>

insurance policy. If any Credit Party at any time or times hereafter shall fail
to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance required above or to pay
all premiums relating thereto, Agent may at any time or times thereafter obtain
and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premiums and take any other
action with respect thereto that Agent deems advisable in its reasonable credit
judgment. Agent shall have no obligation to obtain insurance for any Credit
Party or pay any premiums therefor. By doing so, Agent shall not be deemed to
have waived any Default or Event of Default arising from any Credit Party's
failure to maintain such insurance or pay any premiums therefor. All sums so
disbursed, including reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs and other charges
related thereto, shall be payable on demand by Borrowers to Agent and shall be
additional Obligations hereunder secured by the Collateral.

          (b) Agent reserves the right at any time upon any change in any Credit
Party's risk profile (including any change in the product mix maintained by any
Credit Party or any laws affecting the potential liability of such Credit Party)
to require additional forms and limits of insurance to, in Agent's reasonable
credit judgment, adequately protect both Agent's and Lenders' interests in all
or any portion of the Collateral and to ensure that each Credit Party is
protected by insurance in amounts and with coverage customary for its industry.
If reasonably requested by Agent, each Credit Party shall deliver to Agent from
time to time a report of a reputable insurance broker reasonably satisfactory to
Agent, with respect to its insurance policies.

          (c) Each Borrower shall deliver to Agent, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Agent, endorsements to (i) all "All Risk" and
business interruption insurance naming Agent, on behalf of itself and Lenders,
as loss payee, and (ii) all general liability and other liability policies
naming Agent, on behalf of itself and Lenders, as additional insured. Each
Borrower irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints Agent (and all officers,
employees or agents designated by Agent), so long as any Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing or the anticipated insurance proceeds
exceed $500,000, as such Borrower's true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact
for the purpose of making, settling and adjusting claims under such "All Risk"
policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Borrower on any check or other
item of payment for the proceeds of such "All Risk" policies of insurance and
for making all determinations and decisions with respect to such "All Risk"
policies of insurance. Agent shall have no duty to exercise any rights or powers
granted to it pursuant to the foregoing power-of-attorney. Borrower
Representative shall promptly notify Agent of any loss, damage, or destruction
to the Collateral in the amount of $250,000 or more, whether or not covered by
insurance. At any time after the occurrence of a Dominion Activation Event, and
after deducting from such proceeds (i) the expenses incurred by Agent in the
collection or handling thereof, and (ii) amounts required to be paid to
creditors (other than Lenders) having Permitted Encumbrances, Agent may, at its
option, apply such proceeds to the reduction of the Obligations in accordance
with SECTION 1.3(D). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the casualty giving rise
to such insurance proceeds could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect and such insurance proceeds do not exceed $500,000 in the
aggregate, Agent shall permit the applicable Borrower to replace, restore,
repair or rebuild the property; provided, that if such Borrower shall not have
completed or entered into binding agreements to complete such replacement,
restoration, repair or rebuilding within 180 days of such casualty, Agent may
apply such insurance proceeds to the Obligations in accordance with SECTION
1.3(D). All insurance


                                       33

<PAGE>

proceeds that are to be made available to any Borrower following the occurrence
of a Dominion Activation Event to replace, repair, restore or rebuild the
Collateral shall be applied by Agent to reduce the outstanding principal balance
of the Revolving Loan of such Borrower (which application shall not result in a
permanent reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitment) and upon such application,
Agent shall establish a Reserve against such Borrower's separate Borrowing Base
in an amount equal to the amount of such proceeds so applied. To the extent not
used to replace, repair, restore or rebuild the Collateral, such insurance
proceeds shall be applied in accordance with SECTION 1.3(D).

     5.5 Compliance with Laws. Each Credit Party shall comply with all federal,
state, local and foreign laws and regulations applicable to it, including those
relating to ERISA, labor laws, and Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits,
except to the extent that the failure to comply, individually or in the
aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     5.6 Supplemental Disclosure. From time to time as may be reasonably
requested by Agent (which request will not be made more frequently than once
each year absent the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default) or at
Credit Parties' election, the Credit Parties shall supplement each Disclosure
Schedule hereto, or any representation herein or in any other Loan Document,
with respect to any matter hereafter arising that, if existing or occurring at
the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or
described in such Disclosure Schedule or as an exception to such representation
or that is necessary to correct any information in such Disclosure Schedule or
representation which has been rendered inaccurate thereby (and, in the case of
any supplements to any Disclosure Schedule, such Disclosure Schedule shall be
appropriately marked to show the changes made therein); provided, that (a) no
such supplement to any such Disclosure Schedule or representation shall amend,
supplement or otherwise modify any Disclosure Schedule or representation, or be
or be deemed a waiver of any Default or Event of Default resulting from the
matters disclosed therein, except as consented to by Agent and Requisite Lenders
in writing, and (b) no supplement shall be required or permitted as to
representations and warranties that relate solely to the Closing Date.

     5.7 Intellectual Property. Each Credit Party will conduct its business and
affairs without infringement of or interference with any Intellectual Property
of any other Person in any material respect and shall comply with the terms of
its Licenses, except where such infringement, interference or non-compliance
could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

     5.8 Environmental Matters. Each Credit Party shall and shall cause each
Person within its control to: (a) conduct its operations and keep and maintain
its Real Estate in compliance with all Environmental Laws and Environmental
Permits other than noncompliance that could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect; (b) implement any and all investigation, remediation,
removal and response actions that are necessary to comply with Environmental
Laws and Environmental Permits pertaining to the presence, generation,
treatment, storage, use, disposal, transportation or Release of any Hazardous
Material on, at, in, under, above, to, from or about any of its Real Estate in
all material respects; (c) notify Agent promptly after such Credit Party becomes
aware of any violation of Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits or any
Release on, at, in, under, above, to, from or about any Real Estate


                                       34

<PAGE>

that is reasonably likely to result in Environmental Liabilities in excess of
$500,000; and (d) promptly forward to Agent a copy of any order, notice, request
for information or any communication or report received by such Credit Party in
connection with any such violation or Release or any other matter relating to
any Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits that could reasonably be
expected to result in Environmental Liabilities in excess of $500,000 in each
case whether or not the Environmental Protection Agency or any Governmental
Authority has taken or threatened any action in connection with any such
violation, Release or other matter. If Agent at any time has a reasonable basis
to believe that any Credit Party has caused a violation of any Environmental
Laws or Environmental Permits by any Credit Party or any Environmental Liability
arising thereunder, or a Release of Hazardous Materials on, at, in, under,
above, to, from or about any of its Real Estate, that, in each case, could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, then each Credit Party
shall, upon Agent's written request (i) cause the performance of such
environmental audits including subsurface sampling of soil and groundwater, and
preparation of such environmental reports, at Borrowers' expense, as Agent may
reasonably request relating to such violation or Release, which shall be
conducted by reputable environmental consulting firms reasonably acceptable to
Agent and shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Agent
("Environmental Investigation"), or (ii) permit Agent or its representatives to
have access to all Real Estate for the purpose of conducting such Environmental
Investigation. Borrowers shall reimburse Agent for the costs of such
Environmental Investigations conducted by Agent or its representatives.

     5.9 Landlords' Agreements, Mortgagee Agreements, Bailee Letters and Real
Estate Purchases. Each Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a landlord's agreement, mortgagee
agreement or bailee letter, as applicable, from the lessor of each leased
property, mortgagee of owned property or bailee with respect to any warehouse,
processor or converter facility or other location where Collateral is stored or
located, which agreement or letter shall contain a waiver or subordination of
all Liens or claims that the landlord, mortgagee or bailee may assert against
the Collateral at that location, and shall otherwise be reasonably satisfactory
in form and substance to Agent. With respect to such locations or warehouse
space leased or owned as of the Closing Date and thereafter, if Agent has not
received a landlord or mortgagee agreement or bailee letter as of the Closing
Date (or, if later, as of the date such location is acquired or leased), any
Borrower's Eligible Inventory at that location shall, in Agent's discretion, be
excluded from the Borrowing Base or be subject to such Reserves as may be
established by Agent in its reasonable credit judgment. Following the Inventory
Inclusion Date, no real property or warehouse space shall be leased by any
Credit Party and no Inventory shall be shipped to a processor or converter under
arrangements established after the Closing Date without the prior written
consent of Agent (which consent, in Agent's discretion, may be conditioned upon
the exclusion from the Borrowing Base of Eligible Inventory at that location or
the establishment of Reserves acceptable to Agent) or, unless and until a
reasonably satisfactory landlord agreement or bailee letter, as appropriate,
shall first have been obtained with respect to such location, other than with
respect to any location if the aggregate book value of Inventory at such
individual location is less than $100,000 individually, provided, that the
aggregate book value of Inventory for all such locations shall not exceed
$250,000. Each Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall timely and fully pay
and perform its obligations under all leases and other agreements with respect
to each leased location or public warehouse where any Collateral is or may be
located. To the extent otherwise permitted


                                       35

<PAGE>

hereunder, if any Borrower or Subsidiary Guarantor proposes to acquire a fee
ownership interest in Real Estate after the Closing Date, it shall first provide
to Agent a mortgage or deed of trust granting Agent, other than with respect to
any location if the aggregate book value of Inventory at such location or the
fair market value of such location is less than $100,000 individually, provided
that the aggregate book value of Inventory for all such locations and the fair
market value of all such locations shall be less than $250,000, a first priority
Lien on such Real Estate, together with environmental audits, mortgage title
insurance commitment, real property survey, local counsel opinion(s), and, if
required by Agent, supplemental casualty insurance and flood insurance, and such
other documents, instruments or agreements reasonably requested by Agent, in
each case, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

     5.10 Further Assurances. Each Credit Party executing this Agreement agrees
that it shall and shall cause each other Credit Party to, at such Credit Party's
expense and upon the reasonable request of Agent, duly execute and deliver, or
cause to be duly executed and delivered, to Agent such further instruments and
do and cause to be done such further acts as may be necessary or proper in the
reasonable opinion of Agent to carry out more effectively the provisions and
purposes of this Agreement and each Loan Document.

     5.11 Foreign Assets Control Regulations and Anti-Money Laundering.

          (a) OFAC. No Borrower nor any other Credit Party (i) is a person whose
property or interest in property is blocked or subject to blocking pursuant to

order.

          (b) Patriot Act. Each of the Credit Parties and each of their
respective Subsidiaries are in compliance, in all material respects, with the
Patriot Act. No part of the proceeds of the Loans will be used, directly or
indirectly, for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political
party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone
else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct
business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States
Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.

located in the United States and Canada comprising a business, or those assets
of a business, of the type engaged in by Borrowers as of the Closing Date or
reasonably related thereto in Agent's good faith credit judgment, and which
business would not subject Agent or any Lender to regulatory or third party
approvals in connection with the exercise of its rights and remedies under this
Agreement or any other Loan Documents, other than approvals applicable to the
exercise of such rights and remedies with respect to Borrowers prior to such
Permitted Acquisition;

               (iv) each Target shall have become a "Credit Party" under this
Agreement, and shall have executed and delivered to Lender all documents
reasonably requested by Lender in furtherance of the foregoing, including, (a)
with respect to a Target owned by any Parent Guarantor, a Guaranty in form and
substance satisfactory to Agent, and (b) with respect to a Target organized

Guarantor, a joinder to the Security Agreement, a joinder to the Pledge
Agreement, and if requested by Agent, a Guaranty in form and substance
satisfactory to Agent;

               (v) such Credit Party shall execute and deliver to Agent such
agreements and documents reasonably requested by Agent in order to grant to the
Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, a perfected first priority security
interest in all of the Stock of the Target (or up to 65% of Capital Stock of any
Target organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United
States);

               (vi) the costs, fees or expenses of forming or acquiring any such
new Target shall be provided by a direct or indirect contribution from any
Parent Guarantor; provided, that if after the payment of such costs, fees or
expenses of formation or acquisition, Liquidity exceeds $15,000,000, then there
shall be no limitation on the source of such costs, fees or expenses with
respect to Targets who become "Borrowers" or "Subsidiary Guarantors"; provided,
that, except as otherwise set forth in SECTION 6.17, in no event will Borrowers
and Canadian Borrowers contribute more than $5,000,000 in the aggregate in any
Fiscal Year for such costs, fees or expenses;

               (vii) no additional Indebtedness, Guaranteed Indebtedness,
contingent obligations or other liabilities shall be incurred, assumed, or
otherwise reflected on the consolidated balance sheet of Borrowers and their
Subsidiaries after giving effect to the Permitted Acquisition, except (A) Loans
made hereunder and (B) ordinary course trade payables,


                                       37

<PAGE>

accrued expenses and unsecured Indebtedness and contingent obligations of the
Target to the extent no Default or Event of Default would result after giving
effect to such Permitted Acquisition;

               (viii) the business and assets of each Target shall be free and
clear of all Liens (other than the first priority Lien of Agent and Permitted
Encumbrances);

               (ix) at or prior to the consummation of the Permitted
Acquisition, Lender shall have received from Borrowers a written supplement to
DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE (3.8) and to any other Schedule to the Loan Agreement, in
each case to the extent necessary to correct any information in such Schedule
after giving effect to the Permitted Acquisition;

               (x) Concurrently with delivery of the notice referred to in
CLAUSE (I) above, Credit Parties shall have delivered to Agent, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent:

                    (A) a pro forma consolidated balance sheet, income statement
     and cash flow statement of Parent and its Subsidiaries (other than DDi
     Europe Limited and each of its Subsidiaries) (the "Acquisition Pro Forma"),
     based on recent financial statements, which shall be complete and shall
     fairly present in all material respects the assets, liabilities, financial
     condition and results of operations of Parent and its Subsidiaries in
     accordance with GAAP consistently applied, but taking into account such
     Permitted Acquisition and the funding of all Loans in connection therewith,
     and such Acquisition Pro Forma shall reflect that (y) average Liquidity of
     Borrowers and Canadian Borrowers in the aggregate for the 90-day period
     preceding the consummation of such Permitted Acquisition would have
     exceeded $15,000,000 on a pro forma basis (after giving effect to such
     Permitted Acquisition and all Loans funded in connection therewith as if
     made on the first day of such period) and the Acquisition Projections (as
     hereinafter defined) shall reflect that such Liquidity of $15,000,000 shall
     continue for at least 90 days after the consummation of such Permitted
     Acquisition, and (z) on a pro forma basis, no Event of Default has occurred
     and is continuing or would result after giving effect to such Permitted
     Acquisition and Borrowers would have been in compliance with the financial
     covenants set forth in ANNEX G for the four quarter period reflected in the
     Compliance Certificate most recently delivered to Agent pursuant to ANNEX E
     prior to the consummation of such Permitted Acquisition (after giving
     effect to such Permitted Acquisition and all Loans funded in connection
     therewith as if made on the first day of such period);

                    (B) updated versions of the most recently delivered
     Projections covering the one-year period commencing on the date of such
     Permitted Acquisition and otherwise prepared in accordance with the
     Projections (the "Acquisition Projections") and based upon historical
     financial data of a recent date reasonably satisfactory to Agent, taking
     into account such Permitted Acquisition; and


                                       38

<PAGE>

                    (C) a certificate of the chief financial officer of Parent
     to the effect that: (w) Credit Parties taken as a whole (after taking into
     consideration all rights of contribution and indemnity Credit Parties have
     against each other) will be Solvent upon the consummation of the Permitted
     Acquisition; (x) the Acquisition Pro Forma fairly presents the financial
     condition of Parent and Borrowers (on a consolidated basis) as of the date
     thereof after giving effect to the Permitted Acquisition; (y) the
     Acquisition Projections are reasonable estimates of the future financial
     performance of Parent and Borrowers subsequent to the date thereof based
     upon the historical performance of Credit Parties and the Target and show
     that Borrowers shall continue to be in compliance with the financial
     covenants set forth in ANNEX G for the one-year period thereafter, it being
     understood that uncertainty is inherent in any forecasts or projections and

occurred and is continuing, Agent may (and at the written request of Requisite
Lenders shall), without notice except as otherwise expressly provided herein,
increase the rate of interest applicable to the Loans and the Letter of Credit
Fees to the Default Rate.

          (b) If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent may
(and at the written request of the Requisite Lenders shall), without notice: (i)
terminate the Revolving Loan facility with respect to further Advances or the
incurrence of further Letter of Credit Obligations; (ii) reduce the Revolving
Loan Commitment from time to time; (iii) declare all or any portion of the
Obligations, including all or any portion of any Loan to be forthwith due and
payable, and require that the Letter of Credit Obligations be cash
collateralized in the manner set


                                       48

<PAGE>

forth in ANNEX B, all without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of
any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrowers and each other Credit
Party; or (iv) exercise any rights and remedies provided to Agent under the Loan
Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code;
provided, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in SECTIONS
8.1(H) or (I), the Commitments shall be immediately terminated and all of the
Obligations, including the Revolving Loan, shall become immediately due and
payable without declaration, notice or demand by any Person.

     8.3 Waivers by Credit Parties. Except as otherwise provided for in this
Agreement or by applicable law, each Credit Party waives (including for purposes
of SECTION 12): (a) presentment, demand and protest and notice of presentment,
dishonor, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, protest,
default, nonpayment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or
renewal of any or all commercial paper, accounts, contract rights, documents,
instruments, chattel paper and guaranties at any time held by Agent on which any
Credit Party may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies and confirms whatever
Agent may do in this regard, (b) all rights to notice and a hearing prior to
Agent's taking possession or control of, or to Agent's replevy, attachment or
levy upon, the Collateral or any bond or security that might be required by any
court prior to allowing Agent to exercise any of its remedies, and (c) the
benefit of all valuation, appraisal, marshaling and exemption laws.

9. ASSIGNMENT AND PARTICIPATIONS; APPOINTMENT OF AGENT

     9.1 Assignment and Participations.

          (a) Subject to the terms of this SECTION 9.1, any Lender may make an
assignment to a Qualified Assignee of, or sell participations in, at any time or
times, the Loan Documents, Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations and any
Commitment or any portion thereof or interest therein, including any Lender's
rights, title, interests, remedies, powers or duties thereunder. Any assignment
by a Lender shall: (i) require the consent of Agent (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed with respect to a Qualified Assignee) and the
execution of an assignment agreement (an "Assignment Agreement") substantially
in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT 9.1(A) and otherwise in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to, and acknowledged by, Agent; (ii) be
conditioned on such assignee Lender representing to the assigning Lender and
Agent that it is purchasing the applicable Loans to be assigned to it for its
own account, for investment purposes and not with a view to the distribution
thereof; (iii) after giving effect to any such partial assignment, the assignee
Lender shall have Commitments in an amount at least equal to $5,000,000 and the
assigning Lender shall have retained Commitments in an amount at least equal to
$5,000,000; (iv) include a payment to Agent of an assignment fee of $3,500 and
(v) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, require the
consent of Borrower Representative, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed; provided, that (i) no such consent shall be required for an assignment
to a Qualified Assignee, and (ii) so long as no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, no such assignment shall be made, to the knowledge of an
assigning Lender, to a direct competitor of Borrowers. In the case of an
assignment by a Lender under this SECTION 9.1, the assignee shall have, to the
extent of such assignment, the same rights, benefits and obligations as all
other Lenders hereunder. The assigning Lender shall be relieved of its
obligations hereunder with respect to its Commitments or assigned portion
thereof from and after the date of such assignment. Each Borrower hereby


                                       49

<PAGE>

acknowledges and agrees that any assignment shall give rise to a direct
obligation of Borrowers to the assignee and that the assignee shall be
considered to be a "Lender." In all instances, each Lender's liability to make
Loans hereunder shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to such
Lender's Pro Rata Share of the applicable Commitment. In the event Agent or any
Lender assigns or otherwise transfers all or any part of the Obligations, Agent
or any such Lender shall so notify Borrowers and Borrowers shall, upon the
request of Agent or such Lender, execute new Notes in exchange for the Notes, if
any, being assigned. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this SECTION
9.1(A), any Lender may at any time pledge the Obligations held by it and such
Lender's rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to a Federal
Reserve Bank, and any Lender that is an investment fund may assign the
Obligations held by it and such Lender's rights under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents to another investment fund managed by the same investment
advisor; provided, that no such pledge to a Federal Reserve Bank shall release
such Lender from such Lender's obligations hereunder or under any other Loan
Document.

          (b) Any participation by a Lender of all or any part of its
Commitments shall be made with the understanding that all amounts payable by
Borrowers hereunder shall be determined as if that Lender had not sold such
participation, and that the holder of any such participation shall not be
entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder
except actions directly affecting (i) any reduction in the principal amount of,
or interest rate or Fees payable with respect to, any Loan in which such holder
participates, (ii) any extension of the scheduled amortization of the principal
amount of any Loan in which such holder participates or the final maturity date
thereof, and (iii) any release of all or substantially all of the Collateral
(other than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Collateral
Documents or the other Loan Documents). Solely for purposes of SECTIONS 1.13,
1.15, 1.16 and 9.8, each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that a participation
shall give rise to a direct obligation of Borrowers to the participant and the
participant shall be considered to be a "Lender." Except as set forth in the
preceding sentence no Borrower or other Credit Party shall have any obligation
or duty to any participant. Neither Agent nor any Lender (other than the Lender
selling a participation) shall have any duty to any participant and may continue
to deal solely with the Lender selling a participation as if no such sale had
occurred.

          (c) Except as expressly provided in this SECTION 9.1, no Lender shall,
as between Borrowers and that Lender, or Agent and that Lender, be relieved of
any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any sale, assignment, transfer
or negotiation of, or granting of participation in, all or any part of the
Loans, the Notes or other Obligations owed to such Lender.

          (d) Each Credit Party executing this Agreement shall assist any Lender
permitted to sell assignments or participations under this SECTION 9.1 as
reasonably required to enable the assigning or selling Lender to effect any such
assignment or participation, including the execution and delivery of any and all
agreements, notes and other documents and instruments as shall be requested and,
if requested by Agent, the preparation of informational materials for, and the
participation of management in meetings with, potential assignees or
participants. Each Credit Party executing this Agreement shall certify the
correctness, completeness and accuracy of all descriptions of the Credit Parties
and their respective affairs contained in any selling materials provided by them
and all other information provided by them and included in such


                                       50

<PAGE>

materials, except that any Projections delivered by Borrowers shall only be
certified by Borrowers as having been prepared by Borrowers in compliance with
the representations contained in SECTION 3.4(C).

          (e) Any Lender may furnish any information concerning Credit Parties
in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and participants
(including prospective assignees and participants); provided that such Lender
shall obtain from assignees or participants confidentiality covenants
substantially equivalent to those contained in SECTION 11.8.

          (f) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no
Lender shall assign or sell participations in any portion of its Loans or
Commitments to a potential Lender or participant, if, as of the date of the
proposed assignment or sale, the assignee Lender or participant would be subject
to capital adequacy or similar requirements under SECTION 1.16(A), increased
costs under SECTION 1.16(B), an inability to fund LIBOR Loans under SECTION
1.16(C), or withholding taxes in accordance with SECTION 1.15(A).

     9.2 Appointment of Agent. GE Capital is hereby appointed to act on behalf
of all Lenders as Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The
provisions of this SECTION 9.2 are solely for the benefit of Agent and Lenders
and no Credit Party nor any other Person shall have any rights as a third party
beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and
duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Agent shall act solely
as an agent of Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have
assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for any
Credit Party or any other Person. Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities
except for those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. The duties of Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature
and Agent shall not have, or be deemed to have, by reason of this Agreement, any
other Loan Document or otherwise a fiduciary relationship in respect of any
Lender. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable
for failure to disclose, any information relating to any Credit Party or any of
their respective Subsidiaries or any Account Debtor that is communicated to or
obtained by GE Capital or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Neither Agent
nor any of its Affiliates nor any of their respective officers, directors,
employees, agents or representatives shall be liable to any Lender for any
action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any other Loan
Document, or in connection herewith or therewith, except for damages caused by
its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

     If Agent shall request instructions from Requisite Lenders, Requisite
Revolving Lenders, Supermajority Revolving Lenders or all affected Lenders with
respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, then Agent shall be entitled to refrain
from such act or taking such action unless and until Agent shall have received
instructions from Requisite Lenders, Requisite Revolving Lenders, Supermajority
Revolving Lenders, or all affected Lenders, as the case may be, and Agent shall
not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Agent shall be
fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder or under any
other Loan Document (a) if such action would, in the opinion of Agent, be
contrary to law or the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (b)
if such action would, in the opinion of Agent, expose Agent to Environmental
Liabilities or (c) if Agent shall not first be indemnified to its satisfaction
against


                                       51

<PAGE>

any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of
taking or continuing to take any such action. Without limiting the foregoing, no
Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of
Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Loan
Document in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Lenders, Requisite
Revolving Lenders, Supermajority Revolving Lenders or all affected Lenders, as
applicable.

     9.3 Agent's Reliance, Etc. Neither Agent nor any of its Affiliates nor any
of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for
any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection
with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for damages caused by
its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Agent: (a) may treat the payee of any Note as the
holder thereof until Agent receives written notice of the assignment or transfer
thereof signed by such payee and in form reasonably satisfactory to Agent; (b)
may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts
selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be
taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel,
accountants or experts; (c) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender
and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or
representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents; (d) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the
performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents on the part of any Credit Party or to
inspect the Collateral (including the books and records) of any Credit Party;
(e) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality,
validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant
hereto or thereto; and (f) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents by acting upon any notice, consent,
certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telecopy, telegram,
cable or telex) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper
party or parties.

     9.4 GE Capital and Affiliates. With respect to its Commitments hereunder,
GE Capital shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it
were not Agent; and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless otherwise
expressly indicated, include GE Capital in its individual capacity. GE Capital
and its Affiliates may lend money to, invest in, and generally engage in any
kind of business with, any Credit Party, any of their Affiliates and any Person
who may do business with or own securities of any Credit Party or any such
Affiliate, all as if GE Capital were not Agent and without any duty to account
therefor to Lenders. GE Capital and its Affiliates may accept fees and other
consideration from any Credit Party for services in connection with this
Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders. Each
Lender acknowledges the potential conflict of interest between GE Capital as a
Lender holding disproportionate interests in the Loans and GE Capital as Agent.

     9.5 Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has,
independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender and based on
the Financial Statements referred to in SECTION 3.4(A) and such other documents
and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit and financial
analysis of the Credit Parties and its own decision


                                       52

<PAGE>

to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will,
independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender and based on
such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time,
continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under
this Agreement. Each Lender acknowledges the potential conflict of interest of
each other Lender as a result of Lenders holding disproportionate interests in
the Loans, and expressly consents to, and waives any claim based upon, such
conflict of interest.

     9.6 Indemnification. Lenders agree to indemnify Agent (to the extent not
reimbursed by Credit Parties and without limiting the obligations of Credit
Parties hereunder), ratably according to their respective Pro Rata Shares, from
and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or
nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Agent
in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or any action taken or omitted to be taken by Agent in connection
therewith; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from Agent's gross negligence or
willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender agrees to
reimburse Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket
expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by Agent in connection
with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification,
amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or
otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under,
this Agreement and each other Loan Document, to the extent that Agent is not
reimbursed for such expenses by Credit Parties.

     9.7 Successor Agent. Agent may resign at any time by giving not less than
30 days' prior written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrower Representative.
Upon any such resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint
a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the
Requisite Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after
the resigning Agent's giving notice of resignation, then the resigning Agent
may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a Lender,
if a Lender is willing to accept such appointment, or otherwise shall be a
commercial bank or financial institution or a subsidiary of a commercial bank or
financial institution if such commercial bank or financial institution is
organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof
and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $300,000,000. If no successor
Agent has been appointed pursuant to the foregoing, within 30 days after the
date such notice of resignation was given by the resigning Agent, such
resignation shall become effective and the Requisite Lenders shall thereafter
perform all the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the
Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided above. Any successor
Agent appointed by Requisite Lenders hereunder shall be subject to the approval
of Borrower Representative, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed; provided, that such approval shall not be required if a Default or an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Upon the acceptance of any
appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties
of the resigning Agent. Upon the earlier of the acceptance of any appointment as
Agent hereunder by a successor Agent or the effective date of the resigning
Agent's resignation, the resigning Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations under this Agreement and the


                                       53

<PAGE>

other Loan Documents, except that any indemnity rights or other rights in favor
of such resigning Agent shall continue. After any resigning Agent's resignation
hereunder, the provisions of this SECTION 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any
actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

     9.8 Setoff and Sharing of Payments. In addition to any rights now or
hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such
rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default
and subject to SECTION 9.9(F), each Lender is hereby authorized at any time or
from time to time, without prior notice to any Credit Party or to any Person
other than Agent, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to offset and
to appropriate and to apply any and all balances held by it at any of its
offices for the account of any Borrower or Guarantor (regardless of whether such
balances are then due to such Borrower or Guarantor) and any other properties or
assets at any time held or owing by that Lender or that holder to or for the
credit or for the account of any Borrower or Guarantor against and on account of
any of the Obligations that are not paid when due; provided that the Lender
exercising such offset rights shall give notice thereof to the affected Credit
Party promptly after exercising such rights. Any Lender exercising a right of
setoff or otherwise receiving any payment on account of the Obligations in
excess of its Pro Rata Share thereof shall purchase for cash (and the other
Lenders or holders shall sell) such participations in each such other Lender's
or holder's Pro Rata Share of the Obligations as would be necessary to cause
such Lender to share the amount so offset or otherwise received with each other
Lender or holder in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, (other
than offset rights exercised by any Lender with respect to SECTIONS 1.13, 1.15
or 1.16). Each Lender's obligation under this SECTION 9.8 shall be in addition
to and not in limitation of its obligations to purchase a participation in an
amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Swing Line Loans under SECTION 1.1.
Each Credit Party that is a Borrower or a Guarantor agrees, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, that (a) any Lender may exercise its right to offset
with respect to amounts in excess of its Pro Rata Share of the Obligations and
may sell participations in such amounts so offset to other Lenders and holders
and (b) any Lender so purchasing a participation in the Loans made or other
Obligations held by other Lenders or holders may exercise all rights of offset,
bankers' lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation
as fully as if such Lender or holder were a direct holder of the Loans and the
other Obligations in the amount of such participation. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if all or any portion of the offset amount or payment otherwise
received is thereafter recovered from the Lender that has exercised the right of
offset, the purchase of participations by that Lender shall be rescinded and the
purchase price restored without interest.

     9.9 Advances; Payments; Non-Funding Lenders; Information; Actions in
Concert.

          (a) Advances; Payments.

               (i) Revolving Lenders shall refund or participate in the Swing
Line Loan in accordance with CLAUSES (III) and (IV) of SECTION 1.1(B). If the
Swing Line Lender declines to make a Swing Line Loan or if Swing Line
Availability is zero, Agent shall notify Revolving Lenders, promptly after
receipt of a Notice of Revolving Credit Advance and in any event prior to 1:00
p.m. (New York time) on the date such Notice of Revolving Advance is received,
by telecopy, telephone or other similar form of transmission. Each Revolving
Lender shall make the amount of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of such Revolving
Credit Advance


                                       54

<PAGE>

available to Agent in same day funds by wire transfer to Agent's account as set
forth in ANNEX H not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the requested
funding date, in the case of an Index Rate Loan and not later than 11:00 a.m.
(New York time) on the requested funding date in the case of a LIBOR Loan. After
receipt of such wire transfers (or, in the Agent's sole discretion, before
receipt of such wire transfers), subject to the terms hereof, Agent shall make
the requested Revolving Credit Advance to the Borrower designated by Borrower
Representative in the Notice of Revolving Credit Advance. All payments by each
Revolving Lender shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any
kind.

               (ii) Not less than once during each calendar week or more
frequently at Agent's election (each, a "Settlement Date"), Agent shall advise
each Lender by telephone, or telecopy of the amount of such Lender's Pro Rata
Share of principal, interest and Fees paid for the benefit of Lenders with
respect to each applicable Loan. Provided that each Lender has funded all
payments or Advances required to be made by it and has purchased all
participations required to be purchased by it under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents as of such Settlement Date, Agent shall pay to each Lender such
Lender's Pro Rata Share of principal, interest and Fees paid by Borrowers since
the previous Settlement Date for the benefit of such Lender on the Loans held by
it. To the extent that any Lender (a "Non-Funding Lender") has failed to fund
all such payments and Advances or failed to fund the purchase of all such
participations, Agent shall be entitled to set off the funding short-fall
against that Non-Funding Lender's Pro Rata Share of all payments received from
Borrowers. Such payments shall be made by wire transfer to such Lender's account
(as specified by such Lender in Annex H or the applicable Assignment Agreement)
not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the next Business Day following each
Settlement Date.

          (b) Availability of Lender's Pro Rata Share. Agent may assume that
each Revolving Lender will make its Pro Rata Share of each Revolving Credit
Advance available to Agent on each funding date. If such Pro Rata Share is not,
in fact, paid to Agent by such Revolving Lender when due, Agent will be entitled
to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Lender without setoff,
counterclaim or deduction of any kind. If any Revolving Lender fails to pay the
amount of its Pro Rata Share forthwith upon Agent's demand, Agent shall promptly
notify Borrower Representative and Borrowers shall immediately repay such amount
to Agent. Nothing in this SECTION 9.9(B) or elsewhere in this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents shall be deemed to require Agent to advance funds on behalf
of any Revolving Lender or to relieve any Revolving Lender from its obligation
to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Borrowers
may have against any Revolving Lender as a result of any default by such
Revolving Lender hereunder. To the extent that Agent advances funds to any
Borrower on behalf of any Revolving Lender and is not reimbursed therefor on the
same Business Day as such Advance is made, Agent shall be entitled to retain for
its account all interest accrued on such Advance until reimbursed by the
applicable Revolving Lender.

          (c) Return of Payments.

               (i) If Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in
the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by
Agent from Borrowers and such related payment is not received by Agent, then
Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from such Lender on demand without
setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.


                                       55

<PAGE>

               (ii) If Agent determines at any time that any amount received by
Agent under this Agreement must be returned to any Borrower or paid to any other
Person pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any
other term or condition of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Agent will
not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition,
each Lender will repay to Agent on demand any portion of such amount that Agent
has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if any, as
Agent is required to pay to any Borrower or such other Person, without setoff,
counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

          (d) Non-Funding Lenders. The failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make
any Revolving Credit Advance or any payment required by it hereunder, or to
purchase any participation in any Swing Line Loan to be made or purchased by it
on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender (each such
other Revolving Lender, an "Other Lender") of its obligations to make such
Advance or purchase such participation on such date, but neither any Other
Lender nor Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender
to make an Advance, purchase a participation or make any other payment required
hereunder. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, a
Non-Funding Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with
respect to any Loan Document or constitute a "Lender" or a "Revolving Lender"
(or be included in the calculation of "Requisite Lenders," "Requisite Revolving
Lenders" or "Supermajority Revolving Lenders" hereunder) for any voting or
consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document. At Borrower
Representative's request, Agent or a Person reasonably acceptable to Agent shall
have the right with Agent's consent and in Agent's sole discretion (but shall
have no obligation) to purchase from any Non-Funding Lender, and each
Non-Funding Lender agrees that it shall, at Agent's request, sell and assign to
Agent or such Person, all of the Commitments of that Non-Funding Lender for an
amount equal to the principal balance of all Loans held by such Non-Funding
Lender and all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto through the date
of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed
Assignment Agreement.

          (e) Dissemination of Information. Agent shall use reasonable efforts
to provide Lenders with any notice of Default or Event of Default received by
Agent from, or delivered by Agent to, any Credit Party, with notice of any Event
of Default of which Agent has actually become aware and with notice of any
action taken by Agent following any Event of Default; provided, that Agent shall
not be liable to any Lender for any failure to do so, except to the extent that
such failure is attributable to Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Lenders acknowledge that Borrowers are required to provide Financial Statements
and Collateral Reports to Lenders in accordance with ANNEXES E and F hereto and
agree that Agent shall have no duty to provide the same to Lenders.

          (f) Actions in Concert. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, each Lender hereby agrees with each other Lender that no Lender
shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this
Agreement or the Notes (including exercising any rights of setoff) without first
obtaining the prior written consent of Agent and Requisite Lenders, it being the
intent of Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights


                                       56

<PAGE>

under this Agreement and the Notes shall be taken in concert and at the
direction or with the consent of Agent or Requisite Lenders.

     9.10 Patriot Act.

          Each Lender that is subject to the Patriot Act hereby notifies
Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required
to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrowers, which
information includes the name and address of Borrowers and other information
that will allow such Lender to identify Borrowers in accordance with the Patriot
Act.

10. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS

     This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding on and shall
inure to the benefit of each Credit Party, Agent, Lenders and their respective
successors and assigns (including, in the case of any Credit Party, a
debtor-in-possession on behalf of such Credit Party), except as otherwise
provided herein or therein. No Credit Party may assign, transfer, hypothecate or
otherwise convey its rights, benefits, obligations or duties hereunder or under
any of the other Loan Documents without the prior express written consent of
Agent and Lenders. Any such purported assignment, transfer, hypothecation or
other conveyance by any Credit Party without the prior express written consent
of Agent and Lenders shall be void. The terms and provisions of this Agreement
are for the purpose of defining the relative rights and obligations of each
Credit Party, Agent and Lenders with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby and no Person shall be a third party beneficiary of any of the terms and
provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

11. MISCELLANEOUS

     11.1 Complete Agreement; Modification of Agreement. The Loan Documents and
the Canadian Loan Documents constitute the complete agreement between the
parties with respect to the subject matter thereof and may not be modified,
altered or amended except as set forth in SECTION 11.2. Any letter of interest,
commitment letter, fee letter or confidentiality agreement, if any, between any
Credit Party and Agent or any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates,
predating this Agreement and relating to a financing of substantially similar
form, purpose or effect shall be superseded by this Agreement.

     11.2 Amendments and Waivers.

          (a) Except for actions expressly permitted to be taken by Agent, no
amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any
Credit Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be
in writing and signed by Agent and Borrowers, and by Requisite Lenders,
Requisite Revolving Lenders, Supermajority Revolving Lenders or all affected
Lenders, as applicable. Except as set forth in SECTIONS 11.2(B) AND (C), all
such amendments, modifications, terminations or waivers requiring the consent of
any Lenders shall require the written consent of Requisite Lenders.

          (b) No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of or consent
with respect to any provision of this Agreement that increases the percentage
advance rates set forth in the definition of any Borrowing Base, or that makes
less restrictive the nondiscretionary criteria for exclusion from Eligible
Accounts and Eligible Inventory set forth in SECTION 1.6, shall be effective
unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Agent, Supermajority Revolving
Lenders and Borrowers. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of or
consent with respect to any provision of this Agreement that waives compliance
with the conditions precedent set forth in SECTION 2.2 to the making of any Loan
or the incurrence of any Letter of Credit Obligations shall be effective unless
the same shall be in writing and signed by Agent, Requisite Revolving Lenders
and Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary, no waiver or consent with respect to any Default or any Event of
Default shall be effective for purposes of the conditions precedent to the
making of Loans or the incurrence of Letter of Credit Obligations set forth in
SECTION 2.2 unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Agent, Requisite
Revolving Lenders and Borrowers.

          (c) No amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall, unless in
writing and signed by Agent and each Lender directly affected thereby: (i)
increase the principal amount of any Lender's Commitment (which action shall be
deemed to directly affect all Lenders); (ii) reduce the principal of, rate of
interest on or Fees payable with respect to any Loan or Letter of Credit
Obligations of any affected Lender; (iii) extend any scheduled payment date
(other than payment dates of mandatory prepayments under SECTIONS 1.3(B)(II) and
(III)) or final maturity date of the principal amount of any Loan of any
affected Lender; (iv) waive, forgive, defer, extend or postpone any payment of
interest or Fees as to any affected Lender; (v) release any Guaranty or, except
as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents, release, or permit
any Credit Party to sell or otherwise dispose of, any Collateral with a value
exceeding $5,000,000 in the aggregate (which action shall be deemed to directly
affect all Lenders); (vi) change the percentage of the Commitments or of the
aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans that shall be required for
Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder; and (vii) amend or waive
this SECTION 11.2 or the definitions of the terms "Requisite Lenders,"
"Requisite Revolving Lenders" or "Supermajority Revolving Lenders" insofar as
such definitions affect the substance of this SECTION 11.2. Furthermore, no
amendment, modification, termination or waiver affecting the rights or duties of
Agent or L/C Issuer under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be
effective unless in writing and signed by Agent or L/C Issuer, as the case may
be, in addition to Lenders required hereinabove to take such action. Each
amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No
amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall be required for Agent to
take additional Collateral pursuant to any Loan Document. No amendment,
modification, termination or waiver of any provision of any Note shall be
effective without the written concurrence of the holder of that Note. No notice
to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle such Credit Party or
any other Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or
other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent
effected in accordance with this SECTION 11.2 shall be binding upon each holder
of the Notes at the time outstanding and each future holder of the Notes.


                                       58

          (d) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification,
waiver or termination (a "Proposed Change"):

               (i) requiring the consent of all affected Lenders, the consent of
Requisite Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other Lenders whose consent is
required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as
described in this CLAUSE (I) and in CLAUSES (II), (III) and (IV) below being
referred to as a "Non Consenting Lender");

               (ii) requiring the consent of Supermajority Revolving Lenders,
the consent of Requisite Lenders is obtained, but the consent of Supermajority
Revolving Lenders is not obtained;

               (iii) requiring the consent of Requisite Revolving Lenders, the
consent of Revolving Lenders holding 51% or more of the aggregate Revolving Loan
Commitments is obtained, but the consent of Requisite Revolving Lenders is not
obtained; or

               (iv) requiring the consent of Requisite Lenders, the consent of
Lenders holding 51% or more of the aggregate Commitments is obtained, but the
consent of Requisite Lenders is not obtained;

then, so long as Agent is not a Non Consenting Lender, at Borrower
Representative's request Agent, or a Person reasonably acceptable to Agent,
shall have the right with Agent's consent and in Agent's sole discretion (but
shall have no obligation) to purchase from such Non Consenting Lenders, and such
Non Consenting Lenders agree that they shall, upon Agent's request, sell and
assign to Agent or such Person, all of the Commitments of such Non Consenting
Lenders for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Loans held by the
Non Consenting Lenders and all accrued interest and Fees with respect thereto
through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to
an executed Assignment Agreement.

          (e) Upon payment in full in cash and performance of all of the
Obligations (other than indemnification Obligations), termination of the
Commitments and a release of all claims against Agent and Lenders, and so long
as no suits, actions proceedings, or claims are pending or threatened against
any Indemnified Person asserting any damages, losses or liabilities that are
Indemnified Liabilities, Agent shall deliver to Borrowers termination
statements, mortgage releases and other documents necessary or appropriate to
evidence the termination of the Liens securing payment of the Obligations.

     11.3 Fees and Expenses. Borrowers shall reimburse (i) Agent for all fees,
costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of all of its
counsel, advisors, consultants and auditors) and (ii) Agent (and, with respect
to CLAUSES (C) and (D) below, all Lenders) for all fees, costs and expenses,
including the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of counsel or other advisors
(including environmental and management consultants and appraisers) incurred in
connection with the negotiation, preparation and filing and/or recordation of
the Loan Documents and incurred in connection with:

          (a) any amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect
to, or termination of, any of the Loan Documents or Related Transactions
Documents or advice in connection with the syndication and administration of the
Loans made pursuant hereto or its rights hereunder or thereunder;


                                       59

<PAGE>

          (b) any litigation, contest, dispute, suit, proceeding or action
(whether instituted by Agent, any Lender, any Credit Party or any other Person
and whether as a party, witness or otherwise) in any way relating to the
Collateral, any of the Loan Documents or any other agreement to be executed or
delivered in connection herewith or therewith, including any litigation,
contest, dispute, suit, case, proceeding or action, and any appeal or review
thereof, in connection with a case commenced by or against any or all of the
Credit Parties or any other Person that may be obligated to Agent by virtue of
the Loan Documents, including any such litigation, contest, dispute, suit,
proceeding or action arising in connection with any work-out or restructuring of
the Loans during the pendency of one or more Events of Default; provided, that
in the case of reimbursement of counsel for Lenders other than Agent, such
reimbursement shall be limited to one counsel for all such Lenders; provided
further, that no Person shall be entitled to reimbursement under this CLAUSE (B)
in respect of any litigation, contest, dispute, suit, proceeding or action to
the extent any of the foregoing results from such Person's gross negligence or
willful misconduct;

          (c) any attempt to enforce any remedies of Agent or any Lender against
any or all of the Credit Parties or any other Person that may be obligated to
Agent or any Lender by virtue of any of the Loan Documents, including any such
attempt to enforce any such remedies in the course of any work-out or
restructuring of the Loans during the pendency of one or more Events of Default;
provided, that in the case of reimbursement of counsel for Lenders other than
Agent, such reimbursement shall be limited to one counsel for all such Lenders;

          (d) any workout or restructuring of the Loans during the pendency of
one or more Events of Default; and

          (e) efforts to (i) monitor the Loans or any of the other Obligations,
(ii) evaluate, observe or assess any of the Credit Parties or their respective
affairs, and (iii) verify, protect, evaluate, assess, appraise, collect, sell,
liquidate or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral, in each case in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

including, as to each of CLAUSES (A) through (E) above, all reasonable
attorneys' and other professional and service providers' fees arising from such
services and other advice, assistance or other representation, including those
in connection with any appellate proceedings, and all reasonable expenses,
costs, charges and other fees incurred by such counsel and others in connection
with or relating to any of the events or actions described in this SECTION 11.3,
all of which shall be payable, on demand, by Borrowers to Agent. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, such expenses, costs, charges and fees
may include: reasonable fees, costs and expenses of accountants, environmental
advisors, appraisers, investment bankers, management and other consultants and
paralegals; court costs and expenses; photocopying and duplication expenses;
court reporter fees, costs and expenses; long distance telephone charges; air
express charges; telegram or telecopy charges; secretarial overtime charges; and
expenses for travel, lodging and food paid or incurred in connection with the
performance of such legal or other advisory services provided, that in no event
shall such expenses, costs, charges and fees be duplicative of the expenses,
costs, charges and fees and expenses paid under SECTION 11.3 of the Canadian
Credit Agreement.


                                       60

<PAGE>

     11.4 No Waiver. Agent's or any Lender's failure, at any time or times, to
require strict performance by the Credit Parties of any provision of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect or diminish any
right of Agent or such Lender thereafter to demand strict compliance and
performance herewith or therewith. Any suspension or waiver of an Event of
Default shall not suspend, waive or affect any other Event of Default whether
the same is prior or subsequent thereto and whether the same or of a different
type. Subject to the provisions of SECTION 11.2, none of the undertakings,
agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of any Credit Party
contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and no Default or
Event of Default by any Credit Party shall be deemed to have been suspended or
waived by Agent or any Lender, unless such waiver or suspension is by an
instrument in writing signed by an officer of or other authorized employee of
Agent and the applicable required Lenders and directed to Borrowers specifying
such suspension or waiver.

     11.5 Remedies. Agent's and Lenders' rights and remedies under this
Agreement shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any other rights and remedies
that Agent or any Lender may have under any other agreement, including the other
Loan Documents, by operation of law or otherwise. Recourse to the Collateral
shall not be required.

     11.6 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be
effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement
or any other Loan Document shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable
law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition
or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the
remaining provisions of this Agreement or such other Loan Document.

     11.7 Conflict of Terms. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents or in the Canadian Loan Documents by specific
reference to the applicable provisions of this Agreement, (a) if any provision
contained in this Agreement applicable to Canadian Borrowers conflicts with any
provision in any of the other Loan Documents or in the Canadian Loan Documents,
the provision contained in the Canadian Loan Documents shall govern and control,
and (b) if any provision contained in this Agreement applicable to the Credit
Parties (other than Canadian Borrowers) conflicts with any provision in any of
the other Loan Documents or in the Canadian Loan Documents, the provision
contained in this Agreement shall govern and control.

     11.8 Confidentiality. Agent and each Lender agree to use commercially
reasonable efforts (equivalent to the efforts Agent or such Lender applies to
maintaining the confidentiality of its own confidential information) to maintain
as confidential all confidential information provided to them by the Credit
Parties and designated as confidential for a period of two years following
receipt thereof, except that Agent and any Lender may disclose such information
(a) to Persons employed or engaged by Agent or such Lender; (b) to any bona fide
assignee or participant or potential assignee or participant that has agreed to
comply with the covenant contained in this SECTION 11.8 (and any such bona fide
assignee or participant or potential assignee or participant may disclose such
information to Persons employed or engaged by them as described in CLAUSE (A)
above); (c) as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or reasonably
believed by Agent or such Lender to be compelled by any court decree, subpoena
or legal or administrative order or process; (d) as, on the advice of Agent's or
such Lender's


                                       61

<PAGE>

counsel, is required by law; (e) in connection with the exercise of any right or
remedy under the Loan Documents or in connection with any Litigation to which
Agent or such Lender is a party; or (f) that ceases to be confidential through
no fault of Agent or any Lender.

     11.9 GOVERNING LAW. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN ANY OF THE
LOAN DOCUMENTS, IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY
AND PERFORMANCE, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE OBLIGATIONS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY,
AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN THAT STATE AND ANY
APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. EACH CREDIT PARTY HEREBY
CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN LOS ANGELES
COUNTY, CITY OF LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO
HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN THE CREDIT PARTIES, AGENT AND
LENDERS PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR TO
ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS; PROVIDED, THAT AGENT, LENDERS AND THE CREDIT PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT
ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF
LOS ANGELES COUNTY AND; PROVIDED FURTHER, THAT NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL
BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE AGENT FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL
ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER
SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS, OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN
FAVOR OF AGENT. EACH CREDIT PARTY EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO
SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND EACH
CREDIT PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT SUCH CREDIT PARTY MAY HAVE BASED
UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND
HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED
APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT. EACH CREDIT PARTY HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF
THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND
AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINTS AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY
REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO SUCH CREDIT PARTY AT THE ADDRESS SET
FORTH IN ANNEX I OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED
COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF SUCH CREDIT PARTY'S ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR
THREE DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE UNITED STATES MAILS, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID.

     11.10 Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever it is provided
herein that any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other
communication shall or may be given to or served upon any of the parties by any
other parties, or whenever any of the parties desires to give or serve upon any
other parties any communication with respect to this Agreement, each such
notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication
shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been validly served, given or


                                       62

<PAGE>

delivered (a) upon the earlier of actual receipt and three Business Days after
deposit in the United States Mail, registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, with proper postage prepaid, (b) upon transmission, when sent by
telecopy or other similar facsimile transmission (with such telecopy or
facsimile promptly confirmed by delivery of a copy by personal delivery or
United States Mail as otherwise provided in this SECTION 11.10); (c) one
Business Day after deposit with a reputable overnight courier with all charges
prepaid or (d) when delivered, if hand-delivered by messenger, all of which
shall be addressed to the party to be notified and sent to the address or
facsimile number indicated in ANNEX I or to such other address (or facsimile
number) as may be substituted by notice given as herein provided. The giving of
any notice required hereunder may be waived in writing by the party entitled to
receive such notice. Failure or delay in delivering copies of any notice,
demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication to any
Person (other than Borrower Representative or Agent) designated in ANNEX I to
receive copies shall in no way adversely affect the effectiveness of such
notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication.

     11.11 Section Titles. The Section titles and Table of Contents contained in
this Agreement are and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any
kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the parties hereto.

     11.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
separate counterparts, each of which shall collectively and separately
constitute one agreement.

     11.13 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH
COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN
EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL
LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR
DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO
ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF
ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION,
SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN
CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, AMONG AGENT, LENDERS AND ANY CREDIT PARTY ARISING
OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP
ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO.

     11.14 Press Releases and Related Matters. Each Credit Party executing this
Agreement agrees that neither it nor its Affiliates will in the future issue any
press releases or other public disclosure (other than the filing of this
Agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission) using the name of GE
Capital or its affiliates or referring to this Agreement, the other Loan
Documents or the Related Transactions Documents without at least two Business
Days' prior notice to GE Capital and without the prior written consent of GE
Capital unless (and only to the extent that) such Credit Party or Affiliate is
required to do so under applicable law and then, in any event, such Credit Party
or Affiliate will consult with GE Capital before issuing such press release or
other public disclosure. Each Credit Party consents to the publication by Agent
or any Lender of advertising material relating to the financing transactions
contemplated


                                       63

<PAGE>

by this Agreement using any Borrower's name, product photographs, logo or
trademark. Agent or such Lender shall provide a draft of any advertising
material to each Credit Party for review and comment prior to the publication
thereof. Agent reserves the right to provide to industry trade organizations
information necessary and customary for inclusion in league table measurements.

     11.15 Reinstatement. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect
and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any
Credit Party for liquidation or reorganization, should any Credit Party become
insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or
should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any
Credit Party's assets, and shall continue to be effective or to be reinstated,
as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Obligations,
or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in
amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the
Obligations, whether as a "voidable preference," "fraudulent conveyance," or
otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the
event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or
returned, the Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such
amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

     11.16 Advice of Counsel. Each of the parties represents to each other party
hereto that it has discussed this Agreement and, specifically, the provisions of
SECTIONS 11.9 and 11.13, with its counsel.

     11.17 No Strict Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly
in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or
question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed
as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of
proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship
of any provisions of this Agreement.

     11.18 Amendment and Restatement.

          (a) Amendment and Restatement; No Novation. On the Closing Date, the
Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety by this
Agreement and (i) all references to the Existing Credit Agreement in any Loan
Document other than this Agreement (including in any amendment, waiver or
consent) shall be deemed to refer to the Existing Credit Agreement as amended
and restated hereby, (ii) all references to any section (or subsection) of the
Existing Credit Agreement in any Loan Document (but not herein) shall be amended
to be, mutatis mutandis, references to the corresponding provisions of this
Agreement and (iii) except as the context otherwise provides, all references to
this Agreement herein (including for purposes of indemnification and
reimbursement of fees) shall be deemed to be reference to the Existing Credit
Agreement as amended and restated hereby. This Agreement is not intended to
constitute, and does not constitute, a novation of the obligations and
liabilities under the Existing Credit Agreement (including the Obligations) or
to evidence payment of all or any portion of such obligations and liabilities.

          (b) Effect on Existing Credit Agreement and on the Obligations. On and
after the Closing Date, (i) the Existing Credit Agreement shall be of no further
force and effect except


                                       64

<PAGE>

as amended and restated hereby and except to evidence (A) the incurrence by any
Credit Party of the "Obligations" under and as defined therein (whether or not
such "Obligations" are contingent as of the Closing Date), (B) the
representations and warranties made by any Credit Party prior to the Closing
Date and (C) any action or omission performed or required to be performed
pursuant to such Existing Credit Agreement prior to the Closing Date (including
any failure, prior to the Closing Date, to comply with the covenants contained
in such Existing Credit Agreement) and (ii) the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and the Agent's and Lenders' rights and remedies under the Loan
Documents, shall apply to all Obligations incurred under the Existing Credit
Agreement, the Notes issued thereunder and the Existing Letters of Credit.
Notwithstanding the amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement
by this Agreement, the Obligations of the Borrowers and the other Credit Parties
outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement (including, without limitation,
all Letters of Credit and Letter of Credit Obligations) and the other Loan
Documents as of the Closing Date shall remain outstanding and shall constitute
continuing Obligations and shall continue as such to be secured by the
Collateral. In addition, each Borrower and each Credit Party hereby
acknowledges, confirms and agrees that all Intercompany Notes executed prior to
the Closing Date in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement shall remain
outstanding, and each party thereto reaffirms its obligations and liabilities
under such Intercompany Notes.

          (c) No Implied Waivers. Except as expressly provided in any Loan
Document, this Agreement (i) shall not cure any breach of the Existing Credit
Agreement or any "Default" or "Event of Default" thereunder existing prior to
the date hereof and (ii) is limited as written and is not a consent to any other
modification of any term or condition of any Loan Document, each of which shall
remain in full force and effect.

          (d) Reaffirmation of Liens. Each Borrower and the other Credit Parties
reaffirm the Liens granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents to the Agent for
the benefit of Agent and Lenders, which Liens shall continue in full force and
effect during the term of this Agreement and any renewals or extensions thereof
and shall continue to secure the Obligations.

12. CROSS-GUARANTY

     12.1 Cross-Guaranty. Each Borrower hereby agrees that such Borrower is
jointly and severally liable for, and hereby absolutely and unconditionally
guarantees to Agent and Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, the
full and prompt payment (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise) and performance of, all Obligations owed or hereafter owing to Agent
and Lenders by each other Borrower. Each Borrower agrees that its guaranty
obligation hereunder is a continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not
of collection, that its obligations under this SECTION 12 shall not be
discharged until payment and performance, in full, of the Obligations has
occurred, and that its obligations under this SECTION 12 shall be absolute and
unconditional, irrespective of, and unaffected by,

          (a) 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;


                                       65

<PAGE>

          (b) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including
this SECTION 12) or any other Loan Document or the waiver or consent by Agent
and Lenders with respect to any of the provisions thereof;

          (c) 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 Agent and Lenders in respect thereof (including the release of
any such security);

          (d) the insolvency of any Credit Party; or

          (e) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute
a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor.

Each Borrower shall be regarded, and shall be in the same position, as principal
debtor with respect to the Obligations guaranteed hereunder.

     12.2 Waivers by Borrowers. Each 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 Agent or Lenders to marshal assets or to proceed
in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereunder against any other Credit
Party, 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 Borrower. It is agreed among each Borrower, Agent and 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 12 and such waivers, Agent and Lenders would decline to enter into this
Agreement.

     12.3 Benefit of Guaranty. Each Borrower agrees that the provisions of this
SECTION 12 are for the benefit of Agent and Lenders and their respective
successors, transferees, endorsees and assigns, and nothing herein contained
shall impair, as between any other Borrower and Agent or Lenders, the
obligations of such other Borrower under the Loan Documents.

     12.4 Waiver of Subrogation, Etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, and except as set forth in
SECTION 12.7, each Borrower hereby expressly and irrevocably waives any and all
rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration,
contribution, indemnification or set off and any and all defenses available to a
surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor. Each Borrower acknowledges and
agrees that this waiver is intended to benefit Agent and Lenders and shall not
limit or otherwise affect such Borrower's liability hereunder or the
enforceability of this Section 12, and that Agent, Lenders and their respective
successors and assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and
agreements set forth in this SECTION 12.4.

     12.5 Election of Remedies. If Agent or any Lender may, under applicable
law, proceed to realize its benefits under any of the Loan Documents giving
Agent or such Lender a Lien upon any Collateral, whether owned by any Borrower
or by any other Person, either by judicial foreclosure or by non judicial sale
or enforcement, Agent or any Lender may, at its sole option, determine which of
its remedies or rights it may pursue without affecting any of its rights and
remedies under this SECTION 12. If, in the exercise of any of its rights and
remedies, Agent or


                                       66

<PAGE>

any Lender shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including its right to
enter a deficiency judgment against any Borrower or any other Person, whether
because of any applicable laws pertaining to "election of remedies" or the like,
each Borrower hereby consents to such action by Agent or such Lender and waives
any claim based upon such action, even if such action by Agent or such Lender
shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation that each
Borrower might otherwise have had but for such action by Agent or such Lender.
Any election of remedies that results in the denial or impairment of the right
of Agent or any Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against any Borrower shall
not impair any other Borrower's obligation to pay the full amount of the
Obligations. In the event Agent or any Lender shall bid at any foreclosure or
trustee's sale or at any private sale permitted by law or the Loan Documents,
Agent or such Lender may bid all or less than the amount of the Obligations and
the amount of such bid need not be paid by Agent or such Lender but shall be
credited against the Obligations. The amount of the successful bid at any such
sale, whether Agent, Lender or any other party is the successful bidder, shall
be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral and the
difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Obligations
shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Obligations guaranteed
under this SECTION 12, notwithstanding that any present or future law or court
decision or ruling may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency
claim to which Agent or any Lender might otherwise be entitled but for such
bidding at any such sale.

     12.6 Limitation. Notwithstanding any provision herein contained to the
contrary, each Borrower's liability under this SECTION 12 (which liability is in
any event in addition to amounts for which such Borrower is primarily liable
under Section 1) shall be limited to an amount not to exceed as of any date of
determination the greater of:

          (a) the net amount of all Loans advanced to any other Borrower under
this Agreement and then re-loaned or otherwise transferred to, or for the
benefit of, such Borrower; and

          (b) the amount that could be claimed by Agent and Lenders from such
Borrower under this SECTION 12 without rendering such claim voidable or
avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any
applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance
Act or similar statute or common law after taking into account, among other
things, such Borrower's right of contribution and indemnification from each
other Borrower under SECTION 12.7.

     12.7 Contribution with Respect to Guaranty Obligations.

          (a) To the extent that any Borrower shall make a payment under this
SECTION 12 of all or any of the Obligations (other than Loans made to that
Borrower for which it is primarily liable) (a "Guarantor Payment") that, taking
into account all other Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made
by any other Borrower, exceeds the amount that such Borrower would otherwise
have paid if each Borrower had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such
Guarantor Payment in the same proportion that such Borrower's "Allocable Amount"
(as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment)
bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Borrowers as determined
immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment, then, following
indefeasible payment in full in cash of


                                       67

<PAGE>

the Obligations and termination of the Commitments, such Borrower shall be
entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be
reimbursed by, each other Borrower for the amount of such excess, pro rata based
upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such
Guarantor Payment.

          (b) As of any date of determination, the "Allocable Amount" of any
Borrower shall be equal to the maximum amount of the claim that could then be
recovered from such Borrower under this SECTION 12 without rendering such claim
voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or
under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent
Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law.

          (c) This SECTION 12.7 is intended only to define the relative rights
of Borrowers and nothing set forth in this SECTION 12.7 is intended to or shall
impair the obligations of Borrowers, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts
as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement, including SECTION 12.1. Nothing contained in this SECTION
12.7 shall limit the liability of any Borrower to pay the Loans made directly or
indirectly to that Borrower and accrued interest, Fees and expenses with respect
thereto for which such Borrower shall be primarily liable.

          (d) The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and
indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of the Borrower to which such
contribution and indemnification is owing.

          (e) The rights of the indemnifying Borrowers against other Credit
Parties under this SECTION 12.7 shall be exercisable upon the full and
indefeasible payment of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments.

     12.8 Liability Cumulative. The liability of Borrowers under this SECTION 12
is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Borrower
to Agent and Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which
such Borrower is a party or in respect of any Obligations or obligation of the
other Borrower, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or
agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to
the contrary.

                                       TO
                      AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

                                LETTERS OF CREDIT

     (a) Issuance. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, Agent
and Revolving Lenders agree to incur, from time to time prior to the Commitment
Termination Date, upon the request of Borrower Representative on behalf of the
applicable Borrower and for such Borrower's account, Letter of Credit
Obligations by causing Letters of Credit to be issued by GE Capital or a
Subsidiary thereof or a bank or other legally authorized Person selected by or
acceptable to Agent in its sole discretion (each, an "L/C Issuer") for such
Borrower's account and guaranteed by Agent; provided, that if the L/C Issuer is
a Revolving Lender, then such Letters of Credit shall not be guaranteed by Agent
but rather each Revolving Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth, purchase (or be deemed to have purchased) risk
participations in all such Letters of Credit issued with the written consent of
Agent, as more fully described in PARAGRAPH (B)(II) below. The aggregate amount
of all such Letter of Credit Obligations shall not at any time exceed the least
of (i) TEN MILLION DOLLARS ($10,000,000) (the "L/C Sublimit"), and (ii) the
Maximum Amount less the aggregate outstanding principal balance of (A) the
Revolving Credit Advances and the Swing Line Loan and (B) the Canadian Revolving
Loan and the Canadian Swing Line Loan, and (iii) the Aggregate Borrowing Base
less the aggregate outstanding principal balance of (A) the Revolving Credit
Advances and the Swing Line Loan and (B) the Canadian Revolving Loan and the

that is more than one year following the date of issuance thereof, unless
otherwise determined by Agent in its sole discretion (including with respect to
customary evergreen provisions), and neither Agent nor Revolving Lenders shall
be under any obligation to incur Letter of Credit Obligations in respect of, or
purchase risk participations in, any Letter of Credit having an expiry date that
is later than the Commitment Termination Date.

     (b) Advances Automatic; Participations.

               (i) In the event that Agent or any Revolving Lender shall make
any payment on or pursuant to any Letter of Credit Obligation, such payment
shall then be deemed automatically to constitute a Revolving Credit Advance to
the applicable Borrower under SECTION 1.1(A) regardless of whether a Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and notwithstanding any
Borrower's failure to satisfy the conditions precedent set forth in SECTION 2,
and each Revolving Lender shall be obligated to pay its Pro Rata Share thereof
in accordance with the Agreement. The failure of any Revolving Lender to make
available to Agent for Agent's own account its Pro Rata Share of any such
Revolving Credit Advance or payment by Agent under or in respect of a Letter of
Credit shall not relieve any other Revolving Lender of its obligation hereunder
to make available to Agent its Pro Rata Share thereof, but no Revolving Lender
shall be responsible for the failure of any other Revolving Lender to make
available such other Revolving Lender's Pro Rata Share of any such payment.

shall be illegal or unlawful for any Revolving Lender to be deemed to have
assumed a ratable share of the reimbursement obligations owed to an L/C Issuer,
or if the L/C Issuer is a Revolving Lender, then (i) immediately and without
further action whatsoever, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have
irrevocably and unconditionally purchased from Agent (or such L/C Issuer, as the
case may be) an undivided interest and participation equal to such Revolving
Lender's Pro Rata Share (based on the Revolving Loan Commitments) of the Letter
of Credit Obligations in respect of all Letters of Credit then outstanding and
(ii) thereafter, immediately upon issuance of any Letter of Credit, each
Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally
purchased from Agent (or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be) an undivided
interest and participation in such Revolving Lender's Pro Rata Share (based on
the Revolving Loan Commitments) of the Letter of Credit Obligations with respect
to such Letter of Credit on the date of such issuance. Each Revolving Lender
shall fund its participation in all payments or disbursements made under the
Letters of Credit in the same manner as provided in the Agreement with respect
to Revolving Credit Advances.

     (c) Cash Collateral.

               (i) If Borrowers are required to provide cash collateral for any

the ratable benefit of itself and Revolving Lenders cash or cash equivalents
acceptable to Agent ("Cash Equivalents") in an amount equal to 105% of the
maximum amount then available to be drawn under each applicable Letter of Credit
outstanding for the benefit of such Borrower. Such funds or Cash Equivalents
shall be held by Agent in a cash collateral account (the "Cash Collateral
Account") maintained at a bank or financial institution acceptable to Agent. The
Cash Collateral Account shall be in the name of the applicable Borrower and
shall be pledged to, and subject to the control of, Agent, for the benefit of
Agent and Lenders, in a manner satisfactory to Agent. Each Borrower hereby
pledges and grants to Agent, on behalf of itself and Lenders, a security
interest in all such funds and Cash Equivalents held in the Cash Collateral
Account from time to time and all proceeds thereof, as security for the payment
of all amounts due in respect of the Letter of Credit Obligations and other
Obligations, whether or not then due. The Agreement, including this ANNEX B,
shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.

               (ii) If any Letter of Credit Obligations, whether or not then due
and payable, shall for any reason be outstanding on the Commitment Termination
Date, Borrowers shall either (A) provide cash collateral therefor in the manner
described above, or (B) cause all such Letters of Credit and guaranties thereof,
if any, to be canceled and returned, or (C) deliver a stand-by letter (or
letters) of credit in guarantee of such Letter of Credit Obligations, which
stand-by letter (or letters) of credit shall be of like tenor and duration (plus
30 additional days) as, and in an amount equal to 105% of the aggregate maximum
amount then available to be drawn under, the Letters of Credit to which such
outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations relate and shall be issued by a Person,
and shall be subject to such terms and conditions, as are be satisfactory to
Agent in its sole discretion.

               (iii) From time to time after funds are deposited in the Cash
Collateral Account by any Borrower, whether before or after the Commitment
Termination Date, Agent may apply such funds or Cash Equivalents then held in
the Cash Collateral Account to the payment of any amounts, and in such order as
Agent may elect, as shall be or shall become due and payable by such Borrower to
Agent and Lenders with respect to such Letter of Credit Obligations of such
Borrower and, upon the satisfaction in full of all Letter of Credit Obligations
of such Borrower, to any other Obligations of any Borrower then due and payable.

               (iv) No Borrower nor any Person claiming on behalf of or through
any Borrower shall have any right to withdraw any of the funds or Cash
Equivalents held in the Cash Collateral Account, except that upon the
termination of all Letter of Credit Obligations and the payment of all amounts
payable by Borrowers to Agent and Lenders in respect thereof, any funds
remaining in the Cash Collateral Account shall be applied to other Obligations
then due and owing and upon payment in full of such Obligations any remaining
amount shall be paid to Borrowers or as otherwise required by law. Interest
earned on deposits in the Cash Collateral Account shall be held as additional
collateral.

     (d) Fees and Expenses. Borrowers agree to pay to Agent for the benefit of
Revolving Lenders, as compensation to such Lenders for Letter of Credit
Obligations incurred hereunder, (i) all costs and expenses incurred by Agent or
any Lender on account of such Letter of Credit Obligations, and (ii) for each
month during which any Letter of Credit Obligation shall remain outstanding, a
fee (the "Letter of Credit Fee") in an amount equal to the Applicable L/C Margin
multiplied by the maximum amount available from time to time to be drawn under
the applicable Letter of Credit. Such fee shall be paid to Agent for the benefit
of the Revolving Lenders in arrears, on the first day of each month and on the
Commitment Termination Date. In addition, Borrowers shall pay to any L/C Issuer,
on demand, such fees (including all per annum fees), charges and expenses of
such L/C Issuer in respect of the issuance, negotiation, acceptance, amendment,
transfer and payment of such Letter of Credit or otherwise payable pursuant to
the application and related documentation under which such Letter of Credit is
issued.

     (e) Request for Incurrence of Letter of Credit Obligations. Borrower
Representative shall give Agent at least two Business Days' prior written notice

be accompanied by the form of the Letter of Credit (which shall be acceptable to
the L/C Issuer) and a completed Master Agreement for Standby Letter of Credit or
Master Agreement for Documentary Letter of Credit, as applicable, in the form of
EXHIBIT B-1 or B-2, respectively. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to
the contrary, Letter of Credit applications by Borrower Representative and
approvals by Agent and the L/C Issuer may be made and transmitted pursuant to

<PAGE>

Borrowers and Revolving Lenders shall be paid strictly in accordance with the
terms hereof under all circumstances including the following:

               (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of
Credit or the Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other agreement;

               (ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right
that any Borrower or any of its Affiliates or any Lender may at any time have
against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons
or entities for whom any such transferee may be acting), Agent, any Lender, or
any other Person, whether in connection with the Agreement, the Letter of
Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or therein or any unrelated
transaction (including any underlying transaction between any Borrower or any of
its Affiliates and the beneficiary for which the Letter of Credit was procured);

               (iii) any draft, demand, certificate or any other document
presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid
or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or
inaccurate in any respect;

               (iv) payment by Agent (except as otherwise expressly provided in
PARAGRAPH (G)(II)(C) below) or any L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit or
guaranty thereof against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other
document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or such
guaranty;

               (v) any other circumstance or event whatsoever, that is similar
to any of the foregoing; or

               (vi) the fact that a Default or an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing.

     (g) Indemnification; Nature of Lenders' Duties.

               (i) In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in the
Agreement, Borrowers hereby agree to pay and to protect, indemnify, and save
harmless Agent and each Lender from and against any and all claims, demands,
liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and allocated costs of internal counsel) that Agent or any
Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (A)
the issuance of any Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof, or (B) the failure of
Agent or any Lender seeking indemnification or of any L/C Issuer to honor a
demand for payment under any Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof 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, in each case other than
to the extent solely as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of Agent or such Lender (as finally determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction).

               (ii) As between Agent and any Lender and Borrowers, Borrowers
assume all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of any Letter of Credit
by beneficiaries of any Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation
of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law neither Agent nor any
Lender shall be responsible for: (A) the form, validity,


                                       B-4

<PAGE>

party in connection with the application for and issuance of any Letter of
Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid,
insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (B) 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) failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply fully with
conditions required in order to demand payment under such Letter of Credit;
provided, that in the case of any payment by Agent under any Letter of Credit or
guaranty thereof, Agent shall be liable to the extent such payment was made
solely as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as finally
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) in determining that the demand
for payment under such Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof complies on its face
with any applicable requirements for a demand for payment under such Letter of
Credit or guaranty thereof; (D) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in
transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or
otherwise, whether or not they may be in cipher; (E) errors in interpretation of
technical terms; (F) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any
document required in order to make a payment under any Letter of Credit or
guaranty thereof or of the proceeds thereof; (G) the credit of the proceeds of
any drawing under any Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof; and (H) any
consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Agent or any Lender. None
of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of any of Agent's or
any Lender's rights or powers hereunder or under the Agreement.

               (iii) Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit or to
expand any waivers, covenants or indemnities made by Borrowers in favor of any
L/C Issuer in any letter of credit application, reimbursement agreement or
similar document, instrument or agreement between or among Borrowers and such
L/C Issuer, including a Master Agreement for Documentary Letter of Credit or a
Master Agreement for Standby Agreement entered into with Agent.

                              ANNEX C (SECTION 1.8)
                                       TO
                      AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

                             CASH MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

     Each Credit Party shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, establish and
maintain the Cash Management Systems described below:

     (a) On or before the Closing Date and until the Termination Date, each
Borrower and Subsidiary Guarantor shall (i) establish the lock boxes ("Lock
Boxes") identified in DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE (3.19), and shall request in writing
and otherwise take such reasonable steps to ensure that all Account Debtors
forward payment directly to such Lock Boxes, and (ii) deposit and cause its
Subsidiaries to deposit or cause to be deposited promptly, and in any event no
later than the first Business Day after the date of receipt thereof, all cash,
checks, drafts or other similar items of payment relating to or constituting
payments made in respect of any and all Collateral (whether or not otherwise
delivered to a Lock Box) into one or more blocked accounts in such Borrower's
name or any such Subsidiary's name ("Blocked Accounts") identified in DISCLOSURE
SCHEDULE (3.19) at the banks corresponding thereto (each, a "Relationship
Bank"). On or before the Closing Date, Borrowers shall have established
concentration account (the "Concentration Account") identified in DISCLOSURE
SCHEDULE (3.19) at the bank corresponding thereto (the "Concentration Account
Bank").

     (b) Each Credit Party may maintain, in its name, an account (each a
"Disbursement Account" and collectively, the "Disbursement Accounts") at a bank
reasonably acceptable to Agent into which Agent shall, from time to time with
respect to Borrowers, deposit proceeds of Revolving Credit Advances and Swing
Line Advances made to Borrowers pursuant to SECTION 1.1 for use by such Borrower
solely in accordance with the provisions of SECTION 1.4.

     (c) On or before the Closing Date (or such later date as Agent shall
consent to in writing), the Concentration Account Bank, each bank where a
Disbursement Account is maintained and all other Relationship Banks, shall have
entered into tri-party blocked account agreements with Agent, for the benefit of
itself and Lenders, and the applicable Credit Party, in form and substance
reasonably acceptable to Agent, which shall become operative on or prior to the
Closing Date. Each such blocked account agreement shall provide, among other
things, that (i) all items of payment deposited in such account and proceeds
thereof deposited in the applicable deposit account are held by such bank as
agent or bailee-in-possession for Agent, on behalf of itself and Lenders, (ii)
the bank executing such agreement has no rights of setoff or recoupment or any
other claim against such account, as the case may be, other than for payment of
its service fees and other charges directly related to the administration of
such account and for returned checks or other items of payment, and (iii) from
and after the Closing Date (A) with respect to banks at which a Blocked Account
is maintained, such bank agrees, from and after the receipt of a notice (an
"Activation Notice") from Agent (which Activation Notice may be given by Agent
at any time at which a Dominion Activation Event has occurred), to forward
immediately all amounts in each Blocked Account to the Concentration Account
Bank and to commence the process of daily sweeps from such Blocked Account into
the Concentration


                                      C-1

<PAGE>

Account and (B) with respect to the Concentration Account Bank, such bank agrees
from and after the receipt of an Activation Notice from Agent, to immediately
forward all amounts received in the Concentration Account to the Collection
Account through daily sweeps from such Concentration Account into the Collection
Account. Following the delivery of an Activation Notice, Agent has the right to
continue to direct the daily sweeps and other actions described in clauses
(iii)(A) and (B) above for a period of at least 90 days thereafter subject to
the terms of the following provisions (each such 90 day period occurring at any
time and from time to time, a "Triggered Sweep Period"). At such time as
Borrowers achieve and maintain average Borrowing Availability in excess of
$7,500,000 (as of any applicable date, a "Borrowing Availability Resolution")
for a period of 30 consecutive days commencing no earlier than the 60th day
after the applicable Triggered Sweep Period ( as of any applicable date, a"30
Day Look Back Period"), Agent shall no longer (subject to the provisions of the
last paragraph of this subsection (c)) have any such right as of the end of the
next Fiscal Quarter occurring after the expiration of such 30 day Look Back
Period following an applicable Triggered Sweep Period, and shall take all
necessary actions to notify the applicable banks thereof.

     For purposes of clarity, and by way of example, if a Dominion Activation
Event shall occur on April 15, 2007, the Triggered Sweep Period shall be from
April 15, 2007 through and including July 14, 2007, during which time, following
the delivery of an Activation Notice, Agent has the right to direct the daily
sweeps and other actions described in clauses (iii)(A) and (B) above. If
Borrowers achieve the Borrowing Availability Resolution on July 14, 2007 by
achieving and maintaining average Borrowing Availability in excess of $7,500,000
from June 15, 2007 through and including July 14, 2007 (which time period would
be the 30 Day Look Back Period), Agent has the right to continue to direct the
daily sweeps and other actions described in clauses (iii)(A) and (B) above for
and at all times from the first day of the Triggered Sweep Period (which in this
example is April 15, 2007) through and including the Fiscal Quarter ending
September 30, 2007. If on September 30, 2007 (i) a Dominion Activation Event has
not occurred as of such date and (ii) no Default or Event of Default has
occurred (including, without limitation, a breach of the financial covenants set
forth in Annex G hereof as calculated and measured on September 30, 2007), Agent
shall no longer have the right to continue to direct the daily sweeps and other
actions described in clauses (iii)(A) and (B) above as of the end of the next
Fiscal Quarter ended December 31, 2007. If either of clauses (i) or (ii) of the
preceding sentences is not met on September 30, 2007, the Agent shall have the
right to continue to direct the daily sweeps and other actions described in
clauses (iii)(A) and (B) above for the Fiscal Quarter ended December 31, 2007.

     In addition, it is understood and agreed that upon the occurrence of any
subsequent Dominion Activation Event, the Borrowers shall comply with the
provisions of this Annex C once again (i.e., Agent may again have the right to
present an Activation Notice and commence sweeps of the accounts as described
above).

     (d) So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Borrowers may amend DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE (3.19) to add or replace a
Relationship Bank, Lock Box or Blocked Account or to replace any Concentration
Account or any Disbursement Account; provided, that (i) Agent shall have
consented in writing in advance to the opening of such account or Lock Box with
the relevant bank and (ii) prior to the time of the opening of such


                                      C-2

<PAGE>

account or Lock Box, the applicable Borrower or its Subsidiaries, as applicable,
and such bank shall have executed and delivered to Agent a tri-party blocked
account agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent.
Borrowers shall close any of their accounts (and establish replacement accounts
in accordance with the foregoing sentence) promptly and in any event within 30
days following notice from Agent that the creditworthiness of any bank holding
an account is no longer acceptable in Agent's reasonable judgment, or as
promptly as practicable and in any event within 60 days following notice from
Agent that the operating performance, funds transfer or availability procedures
or performance with respect to accounts or Lock Boxes of the bank holding such
accounts or Agent's liability under any tri-party blocked account agreement with
such bank is no longer acceptable in Agent's reasonable judgment.

     (e) The Lock Boxes, Blocked Accounts, Disbursement Accounts and the
Concentration Account shall be cash collateral accounts, with all cash, checks
and other similar items of payment in such accounts securing payment of the
Loans and all other Obligations, and in which each Borrower and each Subsidiary
thereof shall have granted a Lien to Agent, on behalf of itself and Lenders,
pursuant to the Security Agreement.

     (f) All amounts deposited in the Collection Account shall be deemed
received by Agent in accordance with SECTION 1.10 and shall be applied (and
allocated) by Agent in accordance with SECTION 1.11. In no event shall any
amount be so applied unless and until such amount shall have been credited in
immediately available funds to the Collection Account.

     (g) Each Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall and shall cause its
Affiliates, officers, employees, agents, directors or other Persons acting for
or in concert with such Borrower (each a "Related Person") to (i) hold in trust
for Agent, for the benefit of itself and Lenders, all checks, cash and other
items of payment received by such Borrower or any such Related Person, and (ii)
within one Business Day after receipt by such Borrower or any such Related
Person of any checks, cash or other items of payment, deposit the same into a
Blocked Account of such Borrower. Each Borrower on behalf of itself and each
Related Person thereof acknowledges and agrees that all cash, checks or other
items of payment constituting proceeds of Collateral are part of the Collateral.
All proceeds of the sale or other disposition of any Collateral, shall be
deposited directly into the applicable Blocked Accounts.

     (h) [RESERVED]

     (I) From and after the date Agent has delivered an Activation Notice to any
Relationship Bank with respect to any Blocked Account, no Borrower shall, or
shall permit any of its Subsidiaries to, accumulate or maintain cash in
Disbursement Accounts or payroll accounts as of any date of determination in
excess of the aggregate amount of checks outstanding against such accounts as of
that date and amounts necessary to meet Relationship Bank-imposed minimum
balance requirements; provided, that notwithstanding the generality of the
foregoing:

          (A) so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and the aggregate Revolving Loan and Canadian Revolving Loan balance
is $0 (other than with respect to outstanding LIBOR Loans is an aggregate amount
not to exceed $10,000,000), then, subject to paragraph (B) below, Borrowers may
maintain Excess Proceeds (as defined below) in the Disbursement Accounts; and


                                      C-3

<PAGE>

          (B) (i) for so long as no Control Agreement is in effect with respect
to each of (A) account numbers 2000008311812 and 2000008311935 held at Wachovia
Bank by Virginia; (B) account number 35681196200 held at Key Bank by Sovereign
Flex and (C) account numbers 352251000902, 359683000426 and 359681024683 held at
Key Bank by Sovereign, the aggregate balance of funds in all such accounts in
excess of the aggregate amount necessary to fund payroll for the next 3 days and
the amount of checks outstanding against such accounts as of that date and
amounts necessary to meet Relationship Bank-imposed minimum balance requirements
shall at no time exceed $500,000, either individually or in the aggregate for
all such accounts, all of which such accounts shall remain payroll accounts or
Disbursement Accounts.

     (j) If at any time Borrowers have repaid all outstanding Index Rate Loans
and all outstanding LIBOR Loans for which a LIBOR Period has expired, and funds
continue to be transferred to the Collection Account from the Concentration
Account in accordance with this ANNEX C, then such funds either (i) shall be
applied against any outstanding LIBOR Loan (with Borrowers paying any LIBOR
funding breakage costs occasioned thereby in accordance with SECTION 1.13(B)),
or (ii) provided that the following conditions precedent have been satisfied,
shall be redirected by Agent to the "Master Disbursement Account" identified in
DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE (3.19) (such redirected funds being the "Excess Proceeds"):

          (A) Agent shall have received a written notice from the Chief
Financial Officer of Borrower Representative, dated as of the date any such
funds are deposited in the Collection Account, which notice shall include (1)
Borrowers' request to redirect the Excess Proceeds to the Master Disbursement
Account, and (2) a certification that after giving effect to such redirection
(x) Borrowing Availability will be not less than $15,000,000, and (y) the
outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loan will not exceed the lesser of
(I) the Aggregate Borrowing Base less the then outstanding principal amount of
the Swing Line Loan, and (II) the Maximum Amount less the sum of then
outstanding principal amount of the Swing Line Loan, Canadian Revolving Loan and
Canadian Swing Line Loan;

          (B) the aggregate amount of the outstanding LIBOR Loans shall not
exceed $10,000,000; and

          (C) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing.

Any funds subject to redirection under this PARAGRAPH (J) that are first
received in the Collection Account after 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on any
Business Day, or on a day that is not a Business Day, shall be redirected to the
Master Disbursement Account on the following Business Day.

                             ANNEX G (SECTION 6.10)
                                       TO
                      AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

                               FINANCIAL COVENANTS

     At any time, and from time to time, commencing as of any date when
Liquidity is less than $7,500,000 (the "Liquidity Trigger Event"), and for a
period of 90 days following such time (each such 90 day period at any time and
from time to time being a "Liquidity Trigger Period"), Borrowers shall not
breach or fail to comply with any of the following financial covenants, each of
which shall be calculated in accordance with GAAP consistently applied:

     (a) Maximum Capital Expenditures. Borrowers and their Subsidiaries on a
consolidated basis shall not make Capital Expenditures during the following
periods that exceed in the aggregate the amounts set forth opposite each of such
periods:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                                  Maximum Capital
             Period                 Expenditures
             ------               ---------------
<S>                               <C>
Fiscal Year ending 12/31/07 and
   each Fiscal Year thereafter      $13,000,000
</TABLE>

     (b) Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. Borrowers and their Subsidiaries
shall have on a consolidated basis at the end of each Fiscal Quarter, beginning
with the Fiscal Quarter ending June 30, 2007, a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for
the 12-month period then ended of not less than 1.10:1.0.

     At the end of such Liquidity Trigger Period, during such time Borrowers
achieve and maintain average Liquidity in excess of $7,500,000 (the "Liquidity
Resolution") for a period of 30 consecutive days commencing no earlier than the
60th day after the applicable 90 day Liquidity Trigger Period (for purposes of
clarity, such 30 day look back period may include consecutive preceding days of
such Liquidity Trigger Period, and is referred to herein as the "30 Day Look
Back Period"), the financial covenants set forth in this Annex G will be
suspended temporarily as of the next Fiscal Quarter occurring after the
expiration of the Liquidity Trigger Period and such 30 Day Look Back period,
subject however to reinstatement of such obligations at any time when Liquidity
is less than $7,500,000.

     For purposes of clarity, and by way of example, if a Liquidity Trigger
Event shall occur on April 15, 2007, the first Liquidity Trigger Period shall be
from April 15, 2007 through and including July 14, 2007, during which time all
financial covenants above must be complied with by Borrowers. If Borrowers
achieve the Liquidity Resolution on July 14, 2007 by achieving and maintaining
average Liquidity in excess of $7,500,000 from June 15, 2007 through and
including July 14, 2007 (which time period would be the 30 Day Look Back
Period), Borrowers shall not breach or fail to comply with any of the preceding
obligations to comply with financial covenants at all times from the first day
of the Liquidity Trigger Period (which in this example is April 15, 2007)
through and including the quarter ending September 30, 2007. If on September


                                      G-1

<PAGE>

30, 2007 (i) a Liquidity Trigger Event has not occurred as of such date and (ii)
no Default or Event of Default has occurred (including, without limitation, a
breach of the foregoing financial covenants as tested on September 30, 2007),
the financial covenants set forth in this Annex G will be temporarily suspended
as of the next Fiscal Quarter ended December 31, 2007. If either of clauses (i)
or (ii) of the preceding sentences are not met on September 30, 2007, the
financial covenants set forth in this Annex G will be tested for the Fiscal
Quarter ended December 31, 2007.

     In addition, it is understood and agreed that upon the occurrence of any
subsequent Liquidity Trigger Event, the provisions of this Annex G shall once
again govern (i.e., the financial covenants set forth in this Annex G will be
tested for the next Fiscal Quarter and thereafter in the manner as described
above and for the periods described above)

     Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any accounting term used in
the Agreement shall have the meaning customarily given such term in accordance
with GAAP, and all financial computations hereunder shall be computed in
accordance with GAAP consistently applied. That certain items or computations
are explicitly modified by the phrase "in accordance with GAAP" shall in no way
be construed to limit the foregoing. If any "Accounting Changes" (as defined
below) occur and such changes result in a change in the calculation of the
financial covenants, standards or terms used in the Agreement or any other Loan
Document, then Borrowers, Agent and Lenders agree to enter into negotiations in
order to amend such provisions of the Agreement so as to equitably reflect such
Accounting Changes with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating
Borrowers' and their Subsidiaries' financial condition shall be the same after
such Accounting Changes as if such Accounting Changes had not been made;
provided, that the agreement of Requisite Lenders to any required amendments of
such provisions shall be sufficient to bind all Lenders. "Accounting Changes"
means (i) changes in accounting principles required by the promulgation of any
rule, regulation, pronouncement or opinion by the Financial Accounting Standards
Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (or successor
thereto or any agency with similar functions), (ii) changes in accounting
principles concurred in by any Borrower's certified public accountants; (iii)
purchase accounting adjustments under A.P.B. 16 or 17 and EITF 88-16, and the
application of the accounting principles set forth in FASB 109, including the
establishment of reserves pursuant thereto and any subsequent reversal (in whole
or in part) of such reserves; and (iv) the reversal of any reserves established
as a result of purchase accounting adjustments. All such adjustments resulting
from expenditures made subsequent to the Closing Date (including capitalization
of costs and expenses or payment of pre-Closing Date liabilities) shall be
treated as expenses in the period the expenditures are made and deducted as part
of the calculation of EBITDA in such period. If Agent, Borrowers and Requisite
Lenders agree upon the required amendments, then after appropriate amendments
have been executed and the underlying Accounting Change with respect thereto has
been implemented, any reference to GAAP contained in the Agreement or in any
other Loan Document shall, only to the extent of such Accounting Change, refer
to GAAP, consistently applied after giving effect to the implementation of such
Accounting Change. If Agent, Borrowers and Requisite Lenders cannot agree upon
the required amendments within 30 days following the date of implementation of
any Accounting Change, then all Financial Statements delivered and all
calculations of financial covenants and other standards and terms in accordance
with the Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be prepared, delivered and


                                      G-2

<PAGE>

made without regard to the underlying Accounting Change. For purposes of SECTION
8.1, a breach of a Financial Covenant contained in this ANNEX G shall be deemed
to have occurred as of any date of determination by Agent or as of the last day
of any specified measurement period, regardless of when the Financial Statements
reflecting such breach are delivered to Agent.
