         2.1. Term Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof:

         (a) Tranche A Term Loans. Each Tranche A Lender severally agrees to
make a loan in Dollars (individually, a "Tranche A Term Loan"; and collectively,
the "Tranche A Term Loans") to Borrower at any time or from time to time after
the Closing Date but prior to the Tranche A Term Loan Commitment Termination
Date, in an amount equal to the portion of such Lender's Tranche A Term Loan
Commitment as requested by Borrower to be made on


<PAGE>
                                      -35-


such day (subject to a maximum of two drawings total) in an aggregate amount not
to exceed at any time outstanding such Lender's Tranche A Term Loan Commitment.
The minimum amount drawn on any permitted funding date shall be $20 million;
provided, however, in the event the initial drawing exceeds $55 million, the
second drawing must be in a minimum amount of at least $5 million and made in
increments of $1 million.

         (b) Tranche B Term Loans. Each Tranche B Lender severally agrees to
make a loan in Dollars (individually, an "Initial Tranche B Term Loan"; and
collectively, the "Initial Tranche B Term Loans") to Borrower (i) on the Closing
Date and (ii) at any time (but only once) prior to the Tranche B Term Loan
Commitment Termination Date, in an amount equal to such Lender's Tranche B Term
Loan Commitment as requested by Borrower to be made on such day in an aggregate
amount not to exceed at any time outstanding such Lender's Tranche B Term Loan
Commitment. The amounts drawn on the Closing Date and on the date prior to the
Tranche B Term Loan Commitment Termination Date shall each be $100 million.

         (c) Increased or Additional Tranche B Term Loans. Borrower may, at any
time prior to the Tranche B Maturity Date, request an increase to the principal
amount of the Term Loan B Facility of no more than $150 million in the form as
agreed between Borrower and the Administrative Agent of (i) an increase to the
then existing Term Loan B Facility in a principal amount of at least $50 million
(an "Existing Term Loan B Facility Increase") and/or (ii) the creation of an
additional Term Loan B Facility in a principal amount of at least $100 million
(an "Additional Term Loan B Facility") (either (i), (ii) or (i) and (ii)) to be
referred to as the "Term Loan B Facility Increase"). Each Existing or Additional
Tranche B Lender severally agrees to make a loan, in Dollars (individually, an
"Increased or Additional Tranche B Term Loan"; together with the Initial Tranche
B Term Loans, the "Tranche B Term Loans"; together with the Tranche A Term
Loans, the "Term Loans"), in accordance with subsection 2.1(d).

         (d) Conditions to Increased or Additional Tranche B Term Loans. Any
Term Loan B Facility Increase will only become effective (i) if at the time of
and after giving effect to such increase, Borrower is in pro forma compliance
with subsection 8.9, (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing or would result therefrom and (iii) existing Lenders or other
financial institutions reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent commit
(in their absolute and sole discretion) in writing to be Lenders and fund the
Term Loan B Facility Increase (the "Existing or Additional Tranche B Lenders"),
it being expressly agreed and understood that no Lender need agree to any such
commitment or extend any additional credit. The existing Lenders shall have the
first right, but no obligation, to commit all or a portion of any Term Loan B
Facility Increase. If the existing Lenders do not commit to provide the full
amount of the Term Loan B Facility Increase, then Borrower may offer the
uncommitted amount of the Term Loan B Facility Increase to other financial
institutions reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; provided, that
the minimum commitment of


<PAGE>
                                      -36-


each such new financial institution equals or exceeds $5,000,000. The terms and
conditions of any Additional Term Loan B Facility shall be the same as those
applicable to the existing Term Loan B Facility provided that (i) the interest
rate for the Additional Term Loan B Facility may be higher or lower than the
rate otherwise applicable to the existing Term Loan B Facility, (ii) the final
maturity date for the Additional Term Loan B Facility may be later than the
final maturity date of the existing Term Loan B Facility and (iii) the
amortization schedule for the Additional Term Loan B Facility may differ from
that applicable to the existing Term Loan B Facility so long as the weighted
average life to maturity of the Additional Term Loan B Facility is no shorter
than the weighted average life to maturity of the existing Term Loan B Facility.
The terms "Tranche B Term Loans", "Tranche B Term Note", "Term Loans", "Tranche
B Lender", "Tranche B Term Loan Commitment" and "Tranche B Term Loan Commitment
Percentage" shall include any Loan, Lender or Commitment under or pursuant to
any Term B Loan Facility Increase.

         (e) Commitment Fee. Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent
for the account of each Lender a commitment fee from and including the Closing
Date to but excluding the Tranche A Term Loan Commitment Termination Date or
Tranche B Term Loan Commitment Termination Date, as the case may be, computed at
the Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Available Tranche A
Term Credit Commitment or the Available Tranche B Term Credit Commitment, as the
case may be, of such Lender during the period for which payment is made. Such
commitment fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each
March, June, September and December and on the Tranche A Term Loan Commitment
Termination Date or Tranche B Term Loan Commitment Termination Date, as the case
may be, commencing on the first such date to occur on or following the Closing
Date (or, if earlier, the Tranche A Term Loan Commitment Termination Date or
Tranche B Loan Commitment Termination Date, as the case may be).

         2.2. Repayment of Term Loans. Borrower may repay the Term Loans as
provided in subsection 4.4(a) and shall repay the Term Loans as provided in
subsections 4.4(b), (c) and (d), in each case subject to the provisions of
subsection 4.4(e) (to the extent applicable).

         2.3. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Term Loans shall be used to
finance a portion of the Transactions and Permitted Acquisitions and to pay
fees, expenses and financing costs in connection therewith and to fund working
capital requirements.

         SECTION 3. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF REVOLVING CREDIT COMMITMENTS

         3.1. Revolving Credit Commitments. (a) Subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, each Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees to the extent
of its Revolving Credit Commitment to extend credit to Borrower at any time and
from time to time on any Borrow-

<PAGE>
                                      -37-


ing Date during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period (i) by purchasing an L/C
Participating Interest in each Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender and
(ii) by making loans in Dollars (individually, a "Revolving Credit Loan", and
collectively, the "Revolving Credit Loans") to Borrower from time to time.
Notwithstanding the above, in no event shall any Revolving Credit Loans be made,
or Letter of Credit be issued, if the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit
Loans to be made or Letter of Credit to be issued would, after giving effect to
the use of proceeds, if any, thereof, exceed the aggregate Available Revolving
Credit Commitments nor shall any Letter of Credit be issued if after giving
effect thereto the sum of the undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of
Credit and the amount of all L/C Obligations would exceed $30,000,000.

         (b) During the Revolving Credit Commitment Period, Borrower may use the
Revolving Credit Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the Revolving Credit Loans
in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and
conditions hereof, and/or by having the Issuing Lender issue Letters of Credit,
having such Letters of Credit expire undrawn upon or if drawn upon, reimbursing
the Issuing Lender for such drawing, and having the Issuing Lender issue new
Letters of Credit.

         (c) Each borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to the Revolving
Credit Commitments shall be in an aggregate principal amount of the lesser of
(i) $3,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof in the case
of Alternate Base Rate Loans, and $3,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000
in excess thereof, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, and (ii) the Available
Revolving Credit Commitments, except that any borrowing of Revolving Credit
Loans to be used solely to pay a like amount of Swing Line Loans may be in the
aggregate principal amount of such Swing Line Loans.

         3.2. Commitment Fee. Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent
for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender (other than any Non-Funding
Lender) a commitment fee from and including the Closing Date to but excluding
the Revolving Credit Termination Date, computed at the Commitment Fee Rate on
the average daily amount of the Available Revolving Credit Commitment of such
Revolving Credit Lender during the period for which payment is made (whether or
not Borrower shall have satisfied the applicable conditions to borrow or for the
issuance of a Letter of Credit set forth in Section 6). Such commitment fee
shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June,
September and December and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, as the case
may be, commencing on the first such date to occur on or following the Closing
Date (or, if earlier, the Revolving Credit Termination Date).

         3.3. Proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans. Borrower shall use the
proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans to finance Permitted Acquisitions and to pay
fees, expenses and financing costs in connection therewith and to provide for
the ongoing working capital and gen-


<PAGE>
                                      -38-


eral corporate purposes of Borrower, its Subsidiaries and the Guarantors on and
after the Closing Date.

         3.4. Swing Line Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, the Swing Line Lender agrees, so long as the Administrative Agent has
not received notice that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to
make swing line loans (individually, a "Swing Line Loan"; collectively, the
"Swing Line Loans") to Borrower at any time and from time to time during the
Revolving Credit Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount at any one
time outstanding not to exceed $15,000,000; provided that no Swing Line Loan may
be made if the aggregate principal amount of the Swing Line Loans to be made
would exceed the aggregate Available Revolving Credit Commitments at such time.
Amounts borrowed by Borrower under this subsection 3.4 may be repaid and,
through but excluding the Revolving Credit Termination Date, reborrowed. All
Swing Line Loans (1) shall be made as Alternate Base Rate Loans, (2) shall not
be entitled to be converted into Eurodollar Loans and (3) must be repaid in full
within seven days of making of such Loan or, if sooner, upon the making of any
Revolving Credit Loan and shall in any event mature no later than the Revolving
Credit Termination Date. Borrower shall give the Swing Line Lender irrevocable
notice (which notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender prior to 1:00
p.m., New York City time) on the requested Borrowing Date specifying the amount
of each requested Swing Line Loan, which shall be in an aggregate minimum amount
of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof. The Swing Line
Lender shall, before 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such requested Borrowing
Date, make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of Borrower in
same day funds, the proceeds of such Swing Line Loans. The proceeds of each
Swing Line Loan will be made available by the Swing Line Lender to Borrower by
crediting the account of Borrower at the office of the Swing Line Lender with
such proceeds. The proceeds of Swing Line Loans may be used solely for the
purposes referred to in subsection 3.3.

         (b) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute
discretion may, and on the fifteenth day (or if such day is not a Business Day,
the next Business Day) and last Business Day of each month shall, on behalf of
Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the Swing Line Lender to act on its
behalf) request each Revolving Credit Lender, including the Swing Line Lender,
to make a Revolving Credit Loan in an amount equal to such Lender's Revolving
Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of the Swing Line Loans (the
"Refunded Swing Line Loans") outstanding on the date such notice is given.
Unless any of the events described in paragraph (f) of Section 9 shall have
occurred and be continuing (in which event the procedures of paragraph (c) of
this subsection 3.4 shall apply), each such Lender shall make the proceeds of
its Revolving Credit Loan available to the Swing Line Lender for the account of
the Swing Line Lender at the office of the Swing Line Lender specified in
subsection 11.2 (or such other location as the Swing Line Lender may direct)
prior to 12:00 noon (New York City time) in funds immediately available on the
Business Day next succeeding


<PAGE>
                                      -39-


the date such notice is given. The proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans shall
be immediately applied to repay the Refunded Swing Line Loans.

         (c) If, prior to the making of a Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this subsection 3.4, one of the events described in paragraph
(f) of Section 9 shall have occurred and be continuing, each Revolving Credit
Lender will, on the date such Loan was to have been made, purchase an undivided
participating interest in the Refunded Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to its
Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Refunded Swing Line Loan. Each
such Lender will immediately transfer to the Swing Line Lender in immediately
available funds, the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof the
Swing Line Lender will deliver to such Lender a Swing Line Loan Participation
Certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount.

         (d) Whenever, at any time after the Swing Line Lender has received from
any Revolving Credit Lender such Lender's participating interest in a Refunded
Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account thereof,
the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its participating interest
in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to
reflect the period of time during which such Lender's participating interest was
outstanding and funded) in like funds as received; provided that, in the event
that such payment received by the Swing Line Lender is required to be returned,
such Lender will return to the Swing Line Lender any portion thereof previously
distributed by the Swing Line Lender to it in like funds as such payment is
required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender.

         (e) The obligation of each Revolving Credit Lender to purchase
participating interests pursuant to subsection 3.4(c) shall be absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without
limitation, (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right
which such Revolving Credit Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender,
Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or
continuance of an Event of Default; (iii) any adverse change in the condition
(financial or otherwise) of MCL or any of its Subsidiaries; (iv) any breach of
this Agreement by MCL or any of its Subsidiaries or any other Lender; or (v) any
other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any
of the foregoing.

         3.5. Issuance of Letters of Credit. (a) Borrower may from time to time
request the Issuing Lender to issue a Standby L/C or a Commercial L/C by
delivering to the Administrative Agent at its address specified in subsection
11.2 (or such other location as the Issuing Lender may direct) a letter of
credit application in the Issuing Lender's then customary form (the "L/C
Application") completed to the satisfaction of the Issuing Lender, together with
the proposed form of such Letter of Credit (which shall comply with the
applicable requirements of paragraph (b) below) and such other certificates,
documents and other papers and informa-


<PAGE>
                                      -40-


tion as the Issuing Lender may reasonably request; provided that if the Issuing
Lender informs Borrower that it is for any reason unable to open such Letter of
Credit, Borrower may request any Lender to open such Letter of Credit upon the
same terms offered to the Issuing Lender and each reference to the Issuing
Lender for purposes of subsections 3.5 through 3.13, 6.1 and 6.2 shall be deemed
to be a reference to such Issuing Lender.

         (b) Each Standby L/C and Commercial L/C issued hereunder shall be
issued for the account of Borrower and shall, among other things, (i) be in such
form requested by Borrower as shall be acceptable to the Issuing Lender in its
sole discretion and (ii) have an expiry date occurring not later than 365 days
after the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit and, in the case of Standby
L/Cs, may be automatically renewed on its expiry date for an additional period
equal to the initial term. Each L/C Application and each Letter of Credit shall
be subject to the International Standby Practices (ISP 98) of the International
Chamber of Commerce (in the case of Standby L/Cs) or the Uniform Customs (in the
case of Commercial L/Cs) and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the laws
of the State of New York.

         3.6. Participating Interests. Effective in the case of each Standby L/C
and Commercial L/C (if applicable) as of the date of the opening thereof, the
Issuing Lender agrees to allot and does allot, to itself and each other
Revolving Credit Lender, and each such Lender severally and irrevocably agrees
to take and does take in such Letter of Credit and the related L/C Application
(if applicable), an L/C Participating Interest in a percentage equal to such
Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage.

         3.7. Procedure for Opening Letters of Credit. The Issuing Lender will
notify each Lender after the end of each calendar month of any L/C Applications
received by the Issuing Lender from Borrower during such month. Upon receipt of
any L/C Application from Borrower, the Issuing Lender will process such L/C
Application, and the other certificates, documents and other papers delivered to
the Issuing Lender in connection therewith, in accordance with its customary
procedures and, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, shall promptly open
such Letter of Credit by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the
beneficiary thereof and by furnishing a copy thereof to Borrower and, after the
end of the calendar month in which such Letter of Credit was opened, to the
other Lenders; provided that no such Letter of Credit shall be issued if
subsection 3.1 would be violated thereby.

         3.8. Payments in Respect of Letters of Credit. (a) Borrower agrees
forthwith upon demand by the Issuing Lender and otherwise in accordance with the
terms of the L/C Application relating thereto, (i) to reimburse the Issuing
Lender for any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit
issued for the account of Borrower and (ii) to pay interest on any unreimbursed
portion of any such payment from the date of such payment until reimbursement in
full thereof at a rate per annum equal to (a) on or prior to the date which is
one Business Day after the day on which the Issuing Lender demands reimbursement
from


<PAGE>
                                      -41-


Borrower for such payment, the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin
for the Revolving Credit Loans and (b) thereafter, the Alternate Base Rate plus
the Applicable Margin for the Revolving Credit Loans plus 2%. Each drawing under
any Letter of Credit shall (unless an event of the type described in paragraph
(f) of Section 9 shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the
procedures specified in this subsection 3.8 for payments in respect of Letters
of Credit shall apply) constitute a request by Borrower to the Administrative
Agent for a borrowing pursuant to subsection 3.1(a) of Alternate Base Rate Loans
(or, at the option of the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender in
their sole discretion, a borrowing pursuant to subsection 3.4 of Swing Line
Loans) in the amount of such drawing. The Borrowing Date with respect to such
borrowing shall be the date of payment of the relevant drawing.

         (b) In the event that the Issuing Lender makes a payment under any
Letter of Credit and is not reimbursed in full therefor forthwith upon demand of
the Issuing Lender, and otherwise in accordance with the terms of the L/C
Application relating to such Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender will promptly
notify each other Revolving Credit Lender. Forthwith upon its receipt of any
such notice, each such other Lender will transfer to the Issuing Lender, in
immediately available funds, an amount equal to such other Lender's pro rata
share (based on its Revolving Credit Commitment) of the L/C Obligation arising
from such unreimbursed payment. Promptly, upon its receipt from such other
Lender of such amount, the Issuing Lender will complete, execute and deliver to
such other Lender an L/C Participation Certificate dated the date of such
receipt and in such amount.

         (c) Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Lender has made a payment
under any Letter of Credit and has received from any other Revolving Credit
Lender such other Lender's pro rata share of the L/C Obligation arising
therefrom, the Issuing Lender receives any reimbursement on account of such L/C
Obligation or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Issuing Lender
will promptly distribute to such other Lender its pro rata share thereof in like
funds as received; provided that in the event that the receipt by the Issuing
Lender of such reimbursement or such payment of interest (as the case may be) is
required to be returned, such other Lender will return to the Issuing Lender any
portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Lender to it in like funds
as such reimbursement or payment is required to be returned by the Issuing
Lender.

         3.9. Letter of Credit Fees. (a) In lieu of any letter of credit
commissions and fees provided for in any L/C Application relating to Standby or
Commercial L/Cs (other than standard issuance, amendment and negotiation fees),
Borrower agrees to pay the Administrative Agent, (i) for the account of the
Issuing Lender and the Participating Lenders, with respect to each Standby or
Commercial L/C issued for the account of Borrower, a Standby or Commercial L/C
fee, as the case may be, equal to the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit
Loans which are Eurodollar Loans per annum; and (ii) in addition to the Standby
or Commer-


<PAGE>
                                      -42-


cial L/C fee referred to in subsection 3.9(a)(i) above, for the account of the
Issuing Lender and not on account of its L/C Participating Interest therein,
0.25% per annum, each on the daily average amount available to be drawn under
each Standby L/C in the case of a Standby L/C and on the maximum face amount of
each Commercial L/C in the case of a Commercial L/C, in either case, payable, in
arrears, on the last day of each fiscal quarter of Borrower. The Administrative
Agent will disburse any Standby or Commercial L/C fees received pursuant to
subsection 3.9(a)(i) to the respective Lenders promptly following the receipt of
any such fees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower agrees to pay standard
issuance, amendment and negotiation fees to the Issuing Lender.

         (b) For purposes of any payment of fees required pursuant to this
subsection 3.9, the Administrative Agent agrees to provide to Borrower a
statement of any such fees to be so paid; provided that the failure by the
Administrative Agent to provide Borrower with any such invoice shall not relieve
Borrower of its obligation to pay such fees.

         3.10. Letter of Credit Reserves. (a) If any Change in Law shall either
(i) impose, modify, deem or make applicable any reserve, special deposit,
assessment or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by the
Issuing Lender or (ii) impose on the Issuing Lender any other condition
regarding this Agreement (with respect to Letters of Credit) or any Letter of
Credit, and the result of any event referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above
shall be to increase the cost of the Issuing Lender of issuing or maintaining
any Letter of Credit (which increase in cost shall be the result of the Issuing
Lender's reasonable allocation of the aggregate of such cost increases resulting
from such events), then, upon demand by the Issuing Lender, Borrower shall
immediately pay to the Issuing Lender, from time to time as specified by the
Issuing Lender, additional amounts which shall be sufficient to compensate the
Issuing Lender for such increased cost, together with interest on each such
amount from the date demanded until payment in full thereof at a rate per annum
equal to the rate applicable to Alternate Base Rate Loans pursuant to subsection
4.5(b). Borrower shall not be required to make any payments to the Issuing
Lender for any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection 3.10(a) unless the
Issuing Lender has given written notice to Borrower of its intent to request
such payments prior to or within 60 days after the date on which the Issuing
Lender became entitled to claim such amounts. A certificate, setting forth in
reasonable detail the calculation of the amounts involved, submitted by the
Issuing Lender to Borrower concurrently with any such demand by the Issuing
Lender, shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, as to the amount thereof.

         (b) In the event that any Change in Law with respect to the Issuing
Lender shall, in the reasonable opinion of the Issuing Lender, require that any
obligation under any Letter of Credit be treated as an asset or otherwise be
included for purposes of calculating the appropriate amount of capital to be
maintained by the Issuing Lender or any corporation controlling the Issuing
Lender, and such Change in Law shall have the effect of reducing the rate


<PAGE>
                                      -43-


of return on the Issuing Lender's or such corporation's capital, as the case may
be, as a consequence of the Issuing Lender's obligations under such Letter of
Credit to a level below that which the Issuing Lender or such corporation, as
the case may be, could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into
account the Issuing Lender's or such corporation's policies, as the case may be,
with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by the Issuing Lender to
be material, then from time to time following notice by the Issuing Lender to
Borrower of such Change in Law, within 15 days after demand by the Issuing
Lender, Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate the Issuing Lender or such corporation, as the case
may be, for such reduction. The Issuing Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence
of any event giving rise to the operation of paragraph (a) or (b) of this
subsection 3.10 with respect to the Issuing Lender, it will, if requested by
Borrower and to the extent permitted by law or by the relevant Governmental
Authority, endeavor in good faith to avoid or minimize the increase in costs or
reduction in payments resulting from such event; provided that such avoidance or
minimization can be made in such a manner that the Issuing Lender, in its sole
determination, suffers no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage. Borrower
shall not be required to make any payments to the Issuing Lender for any
additional amounts pursuant to this subsection 3.10(b) unless the Issuing Lender
has given written notice to Borrower of its intent to request such payments
prior to or within 60 days after the date on which the Issuing Lender became
entitled to claim such amounts. A certificate, in reasonable detail setting
forth the calculation of the amounts involved, submitted by the Issuing Lender
to Borrower concurrently with any such demand by the Issuing Lender, shall be
conclusive, absent manifest error, as to the amount thereof.

         (c) Borrower and each Participating Lender agree that the provisions of
the foregoing paragraphs (a) and (b) shall apply equally to each Participating
Lender in respect of its L/C Participating Interest in such Letter of Credit, as
if the references in such paragraphs and provisions referred to, where
applicable, such Participating Lender or, in the case of paragraph (b), any
corporation controlling such Participating Lender.

         3.11. Further Assurances. Borrower hereby agrees, from time to time, to
do and perform any and all acts and to execute any and all further instruments
reasonably requested by the Issuing Lender more fully to effect the purposes of
this Agreement and the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder.

         3.12. Obligations Absolute. The payment obligations of Borrower under
this Agreement with respect to the Letters of Credit shall be unconditional and
irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, the following
circumstances:

         (i) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which
    Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may have at any time against any
    beneficiary, or any


<PAGE>
                                      -44-


    transferee, of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such
    beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Issuing Lender, the
    Administrative Agent or any Lender, or any other Person, whether in
    connection with this Agreement, any Credit Document, the transactions
    contemplated herein, or any unrelated transaction;

         (ii) any statement or any other document presented under any Letter of
    Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid or any statement therein
    being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, except arising from the gross
    negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender;

         (iii) payment by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit against
    presentation of a draft or certificate or other document which does not
    comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or is insufficient in any
    respect, except where such payment constitutes gross negligence or willful
    misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender; or

         (iv) any other circumstances or happening whatsoever, whether or not
    similar to any of the foregoing, except for any such circumstances or
    happening constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of
    the Issuing Lender.

         3.13. Participations. The obligation of each Revolving Credit Lender to
purchase participating interests pursuant to subsection 3.6 shall be absolute
and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including,
without limitation, (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other
right which such Revolving Credit Lender may have against the Issuing Lender,
Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or
continuance of an Event of Default; (iii) any adverse change in the condition
(financial or otherwise) of Borrower; (iv) any breach of this Agreement by
Borrower or any other Lender; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event
whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

         SECTION 4. GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO LOANS

         4.1. Procedure for Borrowing. (a) Borrower may borrow under the
Commitments on any Business Day; provided that, with respect to any borrowing,
Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (which notice
must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. (or, with
respect to Swing Line Loans, 1:00 p.m.), New York City time, (i) three Business
Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date if all or any part of the Loans are
to be Eurodollar Loans and (ii) one Business Day prior to the requested
Borrowing Date (or, in the case of Swing Line Loans and, if the Closing Date
occurs on the date this Agreement is executed and delivered, Loans made on the
Closing Date, on the requested Borrowing Date) if the borrowing is to be solely
of Alternate Base Rate Loans) and specifying


<PAGE>
                                      -45-


(a) the amount of the borrowing, (b) whether such Loans are initially to be
Eurodollar Loans or Alternate Base Rate Loans or a combination thereof, (c) if
the borrowing is to be entirely or partly Eurodollar Loans, the length of the
Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loans and (d) whether the Loan is a Tranche
A Term Loan or a Tranche B Term Loan, a Swing Line Loan or Revolving Credit
Loan. Upon receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify
each affected Lender thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on
the Borrowing Date specified in such notice, each affected Lender shall make
available to the Administrative Agent at the office of the Administrative Agent
specified in subsection 11.2 (or at such other location as the Administrative
Agent may direct) an amount in immediately available funds equal to the amount
of the Loan to be made by such Lender (except that proceeds of Swing Line Loans
will be made available to Borrower in accordance with subsection 3.4(a)). Loan
proceeds received by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall promptly be made
available to Borrower by the Administrative Agent's crediting the account of
Borrower, at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in subsection
11.2, with the aggregate amount actually received by the Administrative Agent
from the Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

         (b) Any borrowing of Eurodollar Loans hereunder shall be in such
amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect
thereto, (i) the aggregate principal amount of all Eurodollar Loans having the
same Interest Period shall not be less than $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof, and (ii) no more than seven Interest Periods shall
be in effect at any one time.

         4.2. Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) Subject to subsection
4.12, Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans into
Alternate Base Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice
of such election, to be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00
a.m., New York City time, at least three Business Days prior to the proposed
conversion date. Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all or a
portion of the Alternate Base Rate Loans (other than Swing Line Loans) then
outstanding to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent irrevocable
notice of such election, to be received by the Administrative Agent prior to
11:00 a.m., New York City time, at least three Business Days prior to the
proposed conversion date, specifying the Interest Period selected therefor. Such
conversion shall be made on the requested conversion date or, if such requested
conversion date is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day;
provided that no such conversion shall be made when any Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing and the Required Lenders have, by prior written
notice to Borrower, determined that such conversion is not appropriate. Upon
receipt of any notice pursuant to this subsection 4.2, the Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify each affected Lender thereof. All or any part of the
outstanding Loans (other than Swing Line Loans) may be converted as provided
herein; provided that partial conversions of Alternate Base Rate Loans shall be
in the aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof and


<PAGE>
                                      -46-


the aggregate principal amount of the resulting Eurodollar Loans outstanding in
respect of any one Interest Period shall be at least $5,000,000 or a whole
multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

         (b) Any Eurodollar Loans may be continued as such upon the expiration
of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by Borrower giving
notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions
of the term "Interest Period" set forth in subsection 1.1, of the length of the
next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans; provided that no Eurodollar
Loan may be continued as such (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and the Required Lenders have, by written notice to Borrower,
determined that such a continuation is not appropriate, (ii) if, after giving
effect thereto, subsection 4.1(b) would be contravened or (iii) after the date
that is one month prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date (in the case of
continuations of Revolving Credit Loans) or the final Installment Payment Date
of the Term Loans.

         4.3. Changes of Commitment Amounts. (a) Borrower shall have the right,
upon not less than three Business Days' notice to the Administrative Agent, to
terminate or from time to time to permanently reduce the Revolving Credit
Commitments or the Tranche A Term Loan Commitments, subject to the provisions of
this subsection 4.3.

         To the extent, if any, that the sum of the amount of the Revolving
Credit Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations then outstanding and the
amounts available to be drawn under outstanding Letters of Credit exceeds the
amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments as then reduced, Borrower shall be
required to make a prepayment equal to such excess amount, the proceeds of which
shall be applied, first, to payment of the Swing Line Loans then outstanding,
second, to payment of the Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding, third, to
payment of any L/C Obligations then outstanding, and fourth, to cash
collateralize any outstanding Letters of Credit on terms reasonably satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent. Any such termination of the Revolving Credit
Commitments shall be accompanied by prepayment of the excess of the sum of the
Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations then outstanding
over the then outstanding Revolving Credit Commitments and by cash
collateralization of any outstanding Letters of Credit on terms reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Upon termination of the Revolving
Credit Commitments, any Letter of Credit then outstanding that has been so cash
collateralized shall no longer be considered a "Letter of Credit" as defined in
subsection 1.1 and any L/C Participating Interests heretofore granted by the
Issuing Lender to the Lenders in such Letter of Credit shall be deemed
terminated (subject to automatic reinstatement in the event that such cash
collateral is returned and the Issuing Lender is not fully reimbursed for any
such L/C Obligations) but the Letter of Credit fees payable under subsection 3.9
shall continue to accrue to the Issuing Lender and the Participating Lenders
(or, in the event of any such automatic reinstatement, as provided in subsection
3.9) with respect to such Letter of Credit until the expiry

<PAGE>
                                      -47-


thereof (provided that in lieu of paying a Standby or Commercial L/C fee, as the
case may be, equal to the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit Loans which are
Eurodollar Loans per annum, Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an
amount equal to 0.25% per annum).

         (b) In the case of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments,
interest accrued on the amount of any prepayment relating thereto and any unpaid
commitment fee accrued hereunder shall be paid on the date of such termination.
Any such partial reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an
amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and
shall, in each case, reduce permanently the amount of the Revolving Credit
Commitments then in effect.

         4.4. Optional and Mandatory Prepayments; Repayments of Term Loans.

         (a) Optional Prepayments. Subject to subsection 4.12, Borrower may at
any time and from time to time prepay Loans, in whole or in part, without
premium or penalty, by irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent by
12:00 noon, New York City time, on the same Business Day in the case of
Alternate Base Rate Loans, and one Business Day's notice in the case of
Eurodollar Loans, specifying the date and amount of prepayment and whether the
prepayment is of Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans. Upon receipt of such
notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. If
such notice is given, Borrower shall make such prepayment, and the payment
amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable, on the date specified
therein. Partial prepayments of Term Loans shall be in an aggregate principal
amount equal to the lesser of (a) (i) $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000
in excess thereof with respect to Eurodollar Loans or (ii) $500,000 or a whole
multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof with respect to Alternate Base Rate Loans
and (b) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the applicable Term Loan.
Partial prepayments of Revolving Credit Loans shall be in an aggregate principal
amount equal to the lesser of (a)(i) $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000
in excess thereof with respect to Eurodollar Loans or (ii) $500,000 or a whole
multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof with respect to Alternate Base Rate Loans
and (b) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans (or
the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans maintained as
Alternate Base Rate Loans (in the case of a prepayment of such Revolving Credit
Loans) or as Eurodollar Loans with a single Interest Period (in the case of a
prepayment of such Revolving Credit Loans)), as the case may be. Prepayments of
the Term Loans pursuant to this subsection 4.4(a) shall be applied in accordance
with subsection 4.4(f) below.

         (b) Mandatory Prepayments. (i) So long as any Term Loans are
outstanding, if, subsequent to the Closing Date, any Credit Party or any of its
Subsidiaries shall issue any Capital Stock (other than to any Credit Party or
any of its wholly owned Subsidiaries) (it being understood that the issuance of
debt securities convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable


<PAGE>
                                      -48-


for, Capital Stock shall be governed by subsection 4.4(b)(ii) below), 50% of the
Net Proceeds thereof shall be applied within five Business Days of receipt
thereof toward the prepayment of the Term Loans in accordance with subsection
4.4(f) below; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to employee
benefit and stock option plans and Capital Stock issued in connection with
Permitted Acquisitions.

         (ii) If, subsequent to the Closing Date, any Credit Party or any of its
Subsidiaries shall incur or permit the incurrence of any Indebtedness (including
pursuant to debt securities which are convertible into, or exchangeable or
exercisable for, Capital Stock but excluding any Indebtedness permitted by
subsection 8.1 other than subsection 8.1(g)), 100% of the Net Proceeds thereof
shall be applied within five Business Days of receipt thereof toward the
prepayment of the Term Loans in accordance with subsection 4.4(f) below.

         (iii) If, subsequent to the Closing Date, any Credit Party or any of
its Subsidiaries shall receive Net Proceeds from any Asset Sale, 100% of such
Net Proceeds shall be applied within five Business Days of receipt thereof
toward the prepayment of the Term Loans in accordance with subsection 4.4(f)
below; provided that such Net Proceeds need not be applied to the prepayment
of Term Loans until the date that the aggregate amount of Net Proceeds received
by any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries from any Asset Sales exceeds
$5,000,000 (and has not yet been applied to the prepayment of Term Loans
hereunder).

         (iv) If, subsequent to the Closing Date, any Credit Party or any of its
Subsidiaries shall receive proceeds from insurance recoveries in respect of any
Destruction in excess of $10,000,000 (but in any event excluding proceeds of
business interruption insurance) or any proceeds or awards in respect of Taking,
100% of the Net Proceeds thereof shall be applied within five Business Days of
receipt thereof toward the prepayment of the Term Loans in accordance with
subsection 4.4(f) below (it being agreed that subject to subsection 8.5(l), any
amounts paid or payable in connection with a Destruction or Taking which are not
then required to be used to pay or prepay Loans, shall be paid to the applicable
Credit Party or Subsidiary of a Credit Party).

         (v) If (a) for any fiscal year of MCL commencing with its fiscal year
ending on December 31, 2003, there shall be Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal
year and (b) at the last day of such fiscal year the Leverage Ratio was equal to
or greater than 2.0 : 1.0, 50% of such Excess Cash Flow shall be applied not
later than 30 days after the delivery of annual financial statements in
accordance with subsection 7.1(a) toward prepayment of the Term Loans in
accordance with subsection 4.4(f) below.

         (c) Repayment of Tranche A Term Loans. The Tranche A Term Loans shall
be repaid in consecutive quarterly installments on the dates set forth below

date (each, a "Tranche B Prepayment Acceptance Date"), which shall be not fewer
than four days or more than six days after the date of the Tranche B Prepayment
Option Notice, the Tranche B Term Loans of such Tranche B Lender in an amount
equal to the portion of the Tranche B Prepayment Amount indicated in such
Tranche B Lender's Tranche B Prepayment


<PAGE>
                                      -51-

Option Notice as being applicable to such Tranche B Lender, (iii) request such
Tranche B Lender to notify Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing, no
later than the second day prior to the Tranche B Prepayment Acceptance Date, of
such Tranche B Lender's acceptance or rejection of such offer of prepayment and
(iv) inform such Tranche B Lender that failure by such Tranche B Lender to
accept or reject such offer in writing on or before the second day prior to the
Tranche B Prepayment Acceptance Date shall be deemed an acceptance of such
prepayment offer. Each Tranche B Prepayment Option Notice shall be given by
telecopy, confirmed by hand delivery, overnight courier service or registered or
certified mail, in each case addressed as provided in subsection 11.2. On the
Tranche B Prepayment Acceptance Date, Borrower shall pay the Administrative
Agent in immediately available funds (i) the aggregate amount necessary to
prepay the portion of the Tranche B Prepayment Amount in respect of which the
Tranche B Lenders have accepted prepayment as described above (such Tranche B
Lenders, the "Accepting Tranche B Lenders"), and the Administrative Agent shall
apply such amount on behalf of Borrower in inverse order against the remaining
installments of principal due in respect of the Tranche B Term Loans of the
Accepting Tranche B Lenders, and (ii) the aggregate amount of the portion of the
Tranche B Prepayment Amount not accepted by the Tranche B Lenders, and the
Administrative Agent shall apply such amount on behalf of Borrower pro rata
against the remaining installments of principal due in respect of the Tranche A
Term Loans.

         (f) Application of Optional and Mandatory Term Loan Prepayments.
Optional prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to subsection 4.4(a) shall be
applied as elected by Borrower. Mandatory prepayments of Terms Loans pursuant to
subsection 4.4(b) shall be applied pro rata to the Tranche A Term Loans and the
Tranche B Term Loans; within each Tranche prepayments will be applied to the
remaining installments of principal on a pro rata basis for the Tranche A Term
Loans and in inverse order for the Tranche B Term Loans. Except as otherwise may
be directed by Borrower, any prepayment of Loans pursuant to this subsection 4.4
shall be applied, first, to any Alternate Base Rate Loans of the applicable
Tranche then outstanding and the balance of such prepayment, if any, to the
Eurodollar Loans of the applicable Tranche then outstanding; provided that
prepayments of Eurodollar Loans, if not on the last day of the Interest Period
with respect thereto, shall, at the option of Borrower, be prepaid subject to
the provisions of subsection 4.12 or the amount of such prepayment (after
application to any Alternate Base Rate Loans) shall be deposited with the
Administrative Agent as cash collateral for the Loans on terms reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and thereafter shall be applied in the
order of the Interest Periods of the applicable Tranche next ending most closely
to the date such prepayment is required to be made and on the last day of each
such Interest Period. After such application, unless an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing (in which case such interest shall be held as
cash collateral or applied by the Administrative Agent to any Obligations then
due and payable), any remaining interest earned on such cash collateral shall be
paid to Borrower.

                                      -52-


         (g) Application of Prepayments After No Term Loans Outstanding. After
such time as no Term Loans remain outstanding, the Revolving Credit Commitments
shall be permanently reduced pro rata in an amount equal to the remaining amount
of any such required prepayment that would have been applied to the Term Loans
(at the same time that the prepayment of the Term Loans would have been made and
assuming an unlimited amount thereof then outstanding) and to the extent that,
after giving effect to such reduction, the aggregate principal amount of
Revolving Credit Loans, plus the aggregate principal amount of Swing Line Loans,
plus the aggregate amount of all L/C Obligations would exceed the Revolving
Credit Commitments, Borrower shall, first, prepay outstanding Swing Line Loans,
second, prepay outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and, third, provide cash
collateral for L/C Obligations in a manner acceptable to the Administrative
Agent, in an amount equal to 105% of such L/C Obligations.

         4.5. Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Eurodollar Loans shall bear
interest for each day during each Interest Period applicable thereto, commencing
on (and including) the first day of such Interest Period to, but excluding, the
last day of such Interest Period, on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a
rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such Interest Period
plus the Applicable Margin.

         (b) Alternate Base Rate Loans shall bear interest for the period from
and including the date such Loans are made to, but excluding, the maturity date
thereof, or to, but excluding, the conversion date if such Loans are earlier
converted into Eurodollar Loans on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a rate
per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

         (c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, the Loans shall, without limiting the rights of the Lenders under
Section 9, bear interest (which shall be payable on demand) at a rate per annum
(computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365
days) equal to the otherwise then applicable interest rate plus 2%.

         (d) Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this subsection 4.5,
interest shall be payable in arrears (i) for Eurodollar Loans, at the end of
each Interest Period (or, for any Interest Period longer than three months, at
three month intervals following the first day of such Interest Period) and on
the final maturity of the Loans, and (ii) for Alternate Base Rate Loans,
quarterly in arrears and on the final maturity of the Loans.

         4.6. Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest in respect of
Alternate Base Rate Loans shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number
of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be (except when
the Alternate Base Rate is determined pursuant to clause (3) of the definition
thereof). Interest in respect of Eurodollar Loans and Alternate Base Rate Loans
under clause (3) of the definition thereof (and all fees here-

<PAGE>
                                      -53-


under) shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed
over a year of 360 days. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable
notify Borrower and the Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any
change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Alternate
Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of
the opening of business on the day on which such change in the Alternate Base
Rate is announced or such change in the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements
becomes effective, as the case may be. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as
practicable notify Borrower and the Lenders of the effective date and the amount
of each such change.

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

         4.7. Certain Fees. Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent,
for its own account, a non-refundable agent's fee in an amount previously agreed
to with the Administrative Agent, payable annually in advance on the Closing
Date and on each anniversary thereof unless all Loans have been (or are on such
date) repaid and all Commitments hereunder have been (or are on such date)
terminated.

         4.8. Inability to Determine Interest Rate. In the event that the
Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall have reasonably determined
(which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower) that (a) by
reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market, adequate and
reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for any
Interest Period with respect to (i) proposed Loans that Borrower has requested
be made as Eurodollar Loans, (ii) any Eurodollar Loans that will result from the
requested conversion of all or part of the Alternate Base Rate Loans into
Eurodollar Loans or (iii) the continuation of any Eurodollar Loan as such for an
additional Interest Period, or (b) dollar deposits in the relevant amount and
for the relevant period with respect to any such Eurodollar Loan are not
generally available to the Lenders in their respective Eurodollar Lending
Offices' interbank eurodollar markets, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith
give telecopy notice of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower
and the Lenders at least one day prior to, as the case may be, the requested
Borrowing Date, the conversion date or the last day of such Interest Period. If
such notice is given (i) any requested Eurodollar Loans shall be made as
Alternate Base Rate Loans, (ii) any Alternate Base Rate Loans that were to have
been converted to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as Alternate Base Rate
Loans, and (iii) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans shall be converted on the last
day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto into Alternate Base
Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no
further Eurodollar Loans shall be made and no Alternate Base Rate Loans shall be
converted to Eurodollar Loans.

                                      -54-


         4.9. Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Except to the extent
otherwise provided herein, each borrowing of Loans by Borrower from the Lenders
and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders hereunder shall be made pro
rata according to the relevant Commitment Percentages of the Lenders with
respect to the Loans borrowed or the Commitments to be reduced.

         (b) Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under
this Agreement or any Note or any other Credit Document is insufficient to pay
in full all amounts then due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders under this Agreement, such payment shall be distributed by the
Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in
the following order: first, to pay interest on and then principal of any portion
of the Revolving Credit Loans that the Administrative Agent may have advanced on
behalf of any Lender for which the Administrative Agent has not then been
reimbursed by such Lender or Borrower; second, to pay interest on and then
principal of any Swing Line Loan; third, to pay Obligations in respect of any
expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Administrative Agent;
fourth, to pay Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements or
indemnities then due to the Lenders and any of their Affiliates; fifth, to pay
Obligations in respect of any fees then due to the Administrative Agent, the
Lenders and any of their respective Affiliates; sixth, to pay interest then due
and payable in respect of the Loans and L/C Obligations; seventh, to pay or
prepay principal amounts on the Loans and L/C Obligations and to provide cash
collateral for outstanding undrawn Standby L/Cs and Commercial L/Cs in the
manner described in subsection 4.4(g), ratably to the aggregate principal amount
of such Loans, L/C Obligations and outstanding undrawn Standby L/Cs and
Commercial L/Cs; and eighth, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations.

         (c) If any Lender (a "Non-Funding Lender") has (x) failed to make a
Revolving Credit Loan required to be made by it hereunder, and the
Administrative Agent has determined that such Lender is not likely to make such
Revolving Credit Loan or (y) given notice to Borrower or the Administrative
Agent that it will not make, or that it has disaffirmed or repudiated any
obligation to make, any Revolving Credit Loan, in each case by reason of the
provisions of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of
1989, as amended, or otherwise, (i) any payment made on account of the principal
of the Revolving Credit Loans outstanding shall be made as follows:

         (A) in the case of any such payment made on any date when and to the
    extent that in the determination of the Administrative Agent, Borrower would
    be able under the terms and conditions hereof to reborrow the amount of such
    payment under the Commitments and to satisfy any applicable conditions
    precedent set forth in Section 6 to such reborrowing, such payment shall be
    made on account of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans held by the
    Lenders other than the Non-Funding Lender pro


<PAGE>
                                      -55-


    rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the
    Revolving Credit Loans of such Lenders; and

         (B) otherwise, such payment shall be made on account of the outstanding
    Revolving Credit Loans held by the Lenders pro rata according to the
    respective outstanding principal amounts of such Revolving Credit Loans; and

(ii) any payment made on account of interest on the Revolving Credit Loans shall
be made pro rata according to the respective amounts of accrued and unpaid
interest due and payable on the Revolving Credit Loans with respect to which
such payment is being made. Borrower agrees to give the Administrative Agent
such assistance in making any determination pursuant to subparagraph (i)(A) of
this paragraph (c) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. Any such
determination by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding on the
Lenders.

         (d) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by Borrower on
account of principal, interest and fees shall be made without set-off,
counterclaim or other defense and shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for
the account of the Lenders at the Administrative Agent's office located at Two
Penns Way, Suite 200, New Castle, Delaware 19720, in lawful money of the United
States and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall
promptly distribute such payments in accordance with the provisions of
subsection 4.9(b) upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment
hereunder (other than payments on Eurodollar Loans) would become due and payable
on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall become due and payable on
the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal,
interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such
extension. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day
other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next
succeeding Business Day (and with respect to payments of principal, interest
thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension),
unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another
calendar month in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately
preceding Business Day.

         (e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing
by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount
which would constitute its Commitment Percentage of such borrowing available to
the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender
is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent in accordance with
subsection 4.1 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is
not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the
Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on
demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average
Federal Funds Rate for the


<PAGE>
                                      -56-


period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the
Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any
Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this subsection 4.9(e) shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. If such Lender's Commitment Percentage of such
borrowing is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such
Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative
Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the
rate per annum applicable to Alternate Base Rate Loans hereunder (in lieu of any
otherwise applicable interest), on demand, from Borrower, without prejudice to
any rights which any such Borrower or the Administrative Agent may have against
such Lender hereunder. Nothing contained in this subsection 4.9 shall relieve
any Lender which has failed to make available its ratable portion of any
borrowing hereunder from its obligation to do so in accordance with the terms
hereof.

         (f) The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it on any
Borrowing Date shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any,
hereunder to make its Loan on such Borrowing Date, but no Lender shall be
responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by
such other Lender on such Borrowing Date.

         (g) All payments and optional prepayments (other than prepayments as
set forth in subsection 4.11 with respect to increased costs) of Eurodollar
Loans hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections
so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of all
Eurodollar Loans with the same Interest Period shall not be less than $5,000,000
plus a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

         4.10. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if any
Change in Law occurring after the date that any lender becomes a Lender party to
this Agreement shall make it unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain
Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, the commitment of such
Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans or to convert all or a portion of
Alternate Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be suspended
until such time, if any, as such illegality shall no longer exist and such
Lender's Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted
automatically to Alternate Base Rate Loans for the duration of the respective
Interest Periods (or, if permitted by applicable law, at the end of such
Interest Periods) and all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied
to such Eurodollar Loans shall be applied instead to such Lender's Alternate
Base Rate Loans. Borrower hereby agrees to pay any Lender, promptly upon its
demand, any amounts payable pursuant to subsection 4.12 in connection with any
conversion in accordance with this subsection 4.10 (such Lender's notice of such
costs, as certified in reasonable detail as to such amounts to Borrower through
the Administrative Agent, to be conclusive absent manifest error).


<PAGE>
                                      -57-


         4.11. Requirements of Law. (a) In the event that any Change in Law or
compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having
the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority
occurring after the date that any lender becomes a Lender party to this
Agreement:

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

         (ii) does or shall impose on such Lender any other condition which is
    applicable to lenders generally;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or
its Eurodollar Lending Office of making, converting, renewing or maintaining
advances or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder,
in each case, in respect of its Eurodollar Loans, then, in any such case,
Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts
necessary to compensate such Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount
receivable which such Lender deems to be material as determined by such Lender
with respect to such Eurodollar Loans, together with interest on each such
amount from the date demanded until payment in full thereof at a rate per annum
equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus 1%.

         (b) In the event that any Change in Law occurring after the date that
any lender becomes a Lender party to this Agreement with respect to any such
Lender shall, in the reasonable opinion of such Lender, require that any
Commitment of such Lender be treated as an asset or otherwise be included for
purposes of calculating the appropriate amount of capital to be maintained by
such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender, and such Change in Law
shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or such
corporation's capital, as the case may be, as a consequence of such Lender's
obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such
corporation, as the case may be, could have achieved but for such Change in Law
(taking into account such Lender's or such corporation's policies, as the case
may be, with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to
be material, then from time to time following notice by such Lender to Borrower
of such Change in Law as provided in paragraph (c) of this subsection 4.11,
within 15 days after demand by such Lender, Borrower shall pay to such Lender
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such
corporation on an after-tax basis, as the case may be, for such reduction.

         (c) Borrower shall not be required to make any payments to any Lender
for any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection 4.11 unless such Lender
has given written no-


<PAGE>
                                      -58-


tice to Borrower, through the Administrative Agent, of its intent to request
such payments prior to or within 60 days after the date on which such Lender
became entitled to claim such amounts. If any Lender has notified Borrower
through the Administrative Agent of any increased costs pursuant to paragraph
(a) of this subsection 4.11, Borrower at any time thereafter may, upon at least
three Business Days' notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly
notify the Lenders thereof), and subject to subsection 4.12, prepay (or convert
into Alternate Base Rate Loans) all (but not a part) of the Eurodollar Loans of
the applicable Lender then outstanding. Each Lender agrees that, upon the
occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of paragraph (a) of this
subsection 4.11 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by Borrower
and to the extent permitted by law or by the relevant Governmental Authority,
endeavor in good faith to avoid or minimize the increase in costs or reduction
in payments resulting from such event (including, without limitation,
endeavoring to change its Eurodollar Lending Office); provided that such
avoidance or minimization can be made in such a manner that such Lender, in its
sole determination, suffers no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage. If
any Lender requests compensation from any Borrower under this subsection 4.11,
Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender thereafter to make or continue
Loans of the Type with respect to which such compensation is requested, or to
convert Loans of any other Type into Loans of such Type, until the Requirement
of Law giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect; provided that such
suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation
so requested.

         (d) (i) All payments by Borrower to or for the account of any Lender or
Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Note shall be made without setoff,
counterclaim or other defense and free and clear of, and without deduction or
withholding for, any and all Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes). If Borrower
shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes (other than Excluded
Taxes) from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note to any
Lender or Administrative Agent, (a) the sum payable shall be increased as
necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings
(including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable
under this subsection 4.11(d)) such Lender or Administrative Agent (as the case
may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions or withholdings been made (without taking into account Excluded
Taxes, but taking into account any related expenses incurred by such Lender or
Administrative Agent), (b) Borrower shall make such deductions or withholdings,
(c) Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the
relevant authority in accordance with applicable law and (d) Borrower shall
furnish to Administrative Agent the original copy of a receipt evidencing
payment thereof (or other proof of payment reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent) within 30 days after such payment is made.


<PAGE>
                                      -59-


         (ii) In addition, Borrower hereby agrees to pay any present or future
stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges or
similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any Note or
from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to,
this Agreement or any Note ("Other Taxes").

         (iii) Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify Administrative Agent and each
Lender for the full amount of Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) or Other Taxes
(including, without limitation, any Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) or Other
Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this subsection 4.11(d)) paid by
Administrative Agent or such Lender and any liability (including penalties,
interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not
such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted; provided, however,
that Borrower shall not be obligated to so indemnify in respect of interest or
penalties attributable to any Taxes or Other Taxes: (1) to the extent that such
interest or penalties resulted from the failure of the Administrative Agent or
such Lender to notify Borrower of the imposition of such Taxes or Other Taxes
within 60 days after the Administrative Agent or the Lender (as the case may be)
actually received written notice of such imposition from the applicable taxing
authority or (2) such interest or penalties resulted from the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Lender. Payments due
under this indemnification shall be made within 30 days of the date
Administrative Agent or such Lender makes written demand therefor together with
a reasonable explanation of such demand.

         (iv) Each Lender or Assignee that is not a United States Person (as
defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for federal income tax purposes
either (1) (i) agrees to furnish to Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative
Agent, either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or U.S. Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8BEN (or successor form) (wherein such Lender claims entitlement
on the Closing Date or such Assignee claims entitlement on the date it becomes
an Assignee to a complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax with
respect to all interest payments hereunder (or, in the case of an Assignee, an
exemption or reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax at least as extensive as
the exemption or reduction to which the assignor Lender was entitled at the time
of such assignment)) and (ii) agrees (for the benefit of Borrower and the
Administrative Agent), to the extent it may lawfully do so at such times, upon
reasonable request by Borrower or the Administrative Agent, to provide to
Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a new Form W-8ECI or Form
W-8BEN (or successor form) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously
delivered form to reconfirm any complete exemption from, or any entitlement to a
reduction in, U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to any interest payment
hereunder or (2) in the case of any such Lender or Assignee that is not a "bank"
within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (i) agrees to furnish to
Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, either (a) a Non-Bank
Certificate and two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or successor form) or (b) an Internal Revenue Form
W-8ECI (or successor form), certifying (in each case) to such Lender's legal
entitlement

<PAGE>
                                      -60-


on the Closing Date (or, in the case of an Assignee, its legal entitlement on
the date it becomes an Assignee) to a complete exemption from U.S. federal
withholding tax with respect to all interest payments hereunder (or, in the case
of an Assignee, an exemption or reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax at
least as extensive as the exemption or reduction to which the assignor Lender
was entitled at the time of such assignment), and (ii) agrees (for the benefit
of Borrower and the Administrative Agent) to the extent it may lawfully do so at
such times, upon reasonable request by Borrower or the Administrative Agent, to
provide to Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a new Form W-8BEN
or W-8ECI (or successor form) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any
previously delivered form to reconfirm any complete exemption from, or any
entitlement to a reduction in, U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to any
interest payment hereunder. Notwithstanding any provision of this subsection
4.11 to the contrary, Borrower shall have no obligation to pay any amount to or
for the account of any Lender or Assignee (or the Eurodollar Lending Office of
any Lender or Assignee) on account of any Taxes pursuant to this subsection 4.11
(which failure shall include, solely for purposes of this sentence, an inability
to provide new forms because a Lender or Assignee could not lawfully do so at
such time(s)), to the extent that such amount results from the failure of any
Lender or Assignee to comply with its obligations pursuant to this clause
4.11(d)(iv), unless such failure would not have occurred but for a Change in
Law.

         (v) If Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the
account of any Lender pursuant to this subsection 4.11(d) as a result of a
Change in Law, then such Lender will, at the request of Borrower, change the
jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if such change (i) will eliminate
or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue and (ii) is,
in such Lender's reasonable discretion, determined not to be materially
disadvantageous to and not to cause material hardship to such Lender; provided
that any fees, charges, costs or expenses that would be incurred by such Lender
in connection with such change shall be borne by Borrower, and the mere
existence of such fees, charges, costs or expenses shall not be deemed to be
materially disadvantageous to or to cause material hardship to such Lender if
Borrower pays all such fees, charges, costs and expenses before any change is
made to such Lender's applicable lending office (or otherwise provides assurance
reasonably satisfactory to such Lender that all such fees, charges, costs and
expenses will be paid).

         (vi) If and to the extent that any Lender determines (in its sole
discretion) that it has actually realized a net refund, net credit or other
similar net Tax benefit as a result of any additional amounts paid by Borrower
on account of such Lender pursuant to this subsection 4.11(d), such Lender
shall, to the extent such Lender determines in its sole discretion that such
Lender may do so without prejudice to the retention of such net refund, net
credit or other net Tax benefit and without any other adverse Tax consequences
to such Lender, pay to Borrower an amount equal to such net Tax benefit actually
realized by such Lender; provided, however, that: (1) in no event will any
Lender be required to pay any amount to Borrower the payment of which would
place such Lender in a less favorable net after-tax position than such


<PAGE>
                                      -61-


Lender would have been in had the additional amounts giving rise to such net
refund, net credit or other net Tax benefit never been paid in the first place,
(2) if any net refund, net credit or other net Tax benefit resulting in a
payment by a Lender to Borrower under this clause (vi) is ultimately disallowed
(in whole or in part, and including, without limitation, as a result of a
settlement with an applicable taxing authority), Borrower shall, within 10 days
after receiving written notice from such Lender, return to such Lender such
portion of the payment previously made to Borrower by such Lender (plus interest
for the relevant period(s) at the applicable underpayment rate(s)) as such
Lender shall determine (in such Lender's sole discretion) to be due and owing in
accordance with this clause (vi) and (3) any determination made by any Lender
under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

         (e) A certificate in reasonable detail as to any amounts submitted by
such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to Borrower, shall be conclusive
in the absence of manifest error. The covenants contained in this subsection
4.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and repayment of the Loans.

         4.12. Indemnity. Each Credit Party agrees to indemnify each Lender and
each of their respective affiliates and to hold such Lender and each of their
respective affiliates harmless from any loss or expense (but (x) without
duplication of any amounts payable as default interest and (y) excluding any
loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain or incur as a
consequence of (a) default by Borrower in making a borrowing after Borrower has
given a notice in accordance with subsection 4.1 or in making a conversion of
Alternate Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans or in continuing Eurodollar Loans
as such, in either case, after Borrower has given notice in accordance with
subsection 4.2, (b) default by any Credit Party in making any prepayment after
Borrower has given a notice in accordance with subsection 4.4 or (c) a payment
or prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan or conversion (including without limitation,
as a result of subsection 4.4 and/or a conversion pursuant to subsection 4.10)
of any Eurodollar Loan into an Alternate Base Rate Loan, in either case on a day
which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, including,
but not limited to, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees
payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain
its Eurodollar Loans hereunder (but excluding loss of profit). This covenant
shall survive termination of this Agreement and repayment of the Loans.

         4.13. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) Borrower hereby
unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of
each Lender (i) the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan
of such Lender on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, (ii) the principal
amount of the Tranche A Term Loan of such Lender, in installments, payable on
each Tranche A Installment Payment Date, in accordance with subsection 4.4(c)
(or the then unpaid principal amount of such Tranche A Term Loan on the date
that the Tranche A Term Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 9),
(iii)


<PAGE>
                                      -62-


the principal amount of the Tranche B Term Loan of such Lender, in installments,
payable on each Tranche B Installment Payment Date, in accordance with
subsection 4.4(d) (or the then unpaid principal amount of such Tranche B Term
Loan on the date that the Tranche B Term Loans become due and payable pursuant
to Section 9), and (iv) the then unpaid principal amount of the Swing Line Loans
of the Swing Line Lender on the Revolving Credit Termination Date. Borrower
hereby further agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the
Loans from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until payment in full
thereof at the rates per annum and on the dates set forth in subsection 4.5.

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

         (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to
subsection 11.6(d), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be
recorded (i) the amount of each Revolving Credit Loan, Tranche A Term Loan and
Tranche B Term Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and each Interest Period
applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable
or to become due and payable from Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii)
both the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from
Borrower and each Lender's share thereof.

         (d) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender
maintained pursuant to subsection 4.13(b) shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the
obligations of Borrower therein recorded; provided that the failure of any
Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account,
or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of Borrower
to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to Borrower by such Lender or
to repay any other obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

         (e) Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent
by any Lender, Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender (i) a promissory
note of Borrower evidencing the Revolving Credit Loans of such Lender,
substantially in the form of Exhibit A with appropriate insertions as to date
and principal amount (a "Revolving Credit Note"), (ii) a promissory note of
Borrower evidencing the Tranche A Term Loan of such Lender, substantially in the
form of Exhibit B-1 with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount
(a "Tranche A Term Note"), (iii) a promissory note of such Borrower evidencing
the Tranche B Term Loan of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2
with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount (a "Tranche B Term
Note"), and/or (iv) in the case of the Swing Line Lender, a promissory note of
Borrower evidencing the Swing Line Loans of the


<PAGE>
                                      -63-


Swing Line Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit C with appropriate
insertions as to date and principal amount (the "Swing Line Note").

         4.14. Replacement of Lenders. In the event any Lender or the Issuing
Lender is a Non-Funding Lender, exercises its rights pursuant to subsection 4.10
or requests payments pursuant to subsections 3.10 or 4.11, Borrower may require,
at Borrower's expense (including payment of any processing fees under subsection
11.6(e)) and subject to subsection 4.12, such Lender or the Issuing Lender to
assign, at par plus accrued interest and fees, without recourse (in accordance
with subsection 11.6) all of its interests, rights and obligations hereunder
(including all of its Commitments and the Loans and other amounts at the time
owing to it hereunder and its Notes and its interest in the Letters of Credit)
to a bank, financial institution or other entity specified by Borrower; provided
that (i) such assignment shall not conflict with or violate any law, rule or
regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority, (ii) Borrower
shall have received the written consent of the Administrative Agent, which
consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, to such assignment, (iii) Borrower
shall have paid to the assigning Lender or the Issuing Lender all monies other
than principal, interest and fees accrued and owing hereunder to it (including
pursuant to subsections 3.10, 4.10, 4.11 and 4.12) and (iv) in the case of a
required assignment by the Issuing Lender, the Letters of Credit shall be
canceled and returned to the Issuing Lender.

         4.15. Aggregate Maximum Loans Borrowed. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein or otherwise, there shall be no extensions of credit
under this Agreement exceeding $140,000,000 until the Existing Senior Notes have
been paid in full (unless the proceeds of such extensions of credit are being
contemporaneously used to repay the Existing Senior Notes in full).

         SECTION 5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

         In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make
the Loans and to induce the Issuing Lender to issue, and the Participating
Lenders to participate in, the Letters of Credit, each Credit Party hereby
represents and warrants to each Lender and the Administrative Agent as of the
Closing Date and as of the date of the making of any extension of credit
hereunder:

         5.1. Financial Condition. (a) The unaudited pro forma consolidated
balance sheet of MCL and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at June 30, 2002
(including the notes thereto) (the "Pro Forma Balance Sheet"), copies of which
have heretofore been furnished to each Lender, has been prepared giving effect
(as if such events had occurred on such date) to (i) the consummation of the
Transactions, (ii) the incurrence of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters
of Credit to be incurred or issued, as the case may be, on the Closing Date and
all Indebtedness that MCL and its Subsidiaries expect to incur in connection
with the Transactions and the issuance of the Loans and the use of proceeds
thereof and (iii) the payment of


<PAGE>
                                      -64-


fees and expenses in connection with the foregoing. The Pro Forma Balance Sheet
presents fairly in all material respects on a pro forma basis the estimated
financial position of MCL and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at June 30, 2002,
assuming that the events specified in the preceding sentence had actually
occurred at such date.

         (b) The audited consolidated balance sheets of MCL and its Subsidiaries
as at December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements
of income and of cash flows for the fiscal years ended on such dates, reported
on by and accompanied by an unqualified report from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLC
or Deloitte & Touche LLP, present fairly in all material respects the
consolidated financial condition of MCL and its Subsidiaries as at each such
date, and the consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash flows for
the respective fiscal years then ended. The unaudited consolidated balance sheet
of MCL and its Subsidiaries as at March 31, 2002, and the related unaudited
consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three-month period
ended on such date, present fairly in all material respects the consolidated
financial condition of MCL and its Subsidiaries as at such date, and the
consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash flows for the
three-month period then ended (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments).
All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes
thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently
throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm
of accountants and disclosed therein). During the period from March 31, 2002 to
and including the date hereof there has been no disposition by MCL and its
Subsidiaries of any material part of their business or property.

         (c) Except as set forth in Schedule 5.1(c), in the financial statements
or other information referred to in subsections 5.1(a) and (b), as of the
Closing Date, (i) there are no material liabilities of any Credit Party or any
of its Subsidiaries of any kind (including, without limitation, liabilities for
taxes, or any long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments,
including any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or
other obligation in respect of derivatives) required to be set forth on a
balance sheet or in the notes thereto prepared in accordance with GAAP, whether
accrued, contingent, absolute, determined, determinable or otherwise, which are
reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and (ii) there is no
existing condition, situation or set of circumstances which is reasonably likely
to result in such a Material Adverse Effect.

         5.2. No Change. Since December 31, 2001, there has been no change,
development or event affecting the business, assets, operation, properties,
condition (financial or otherwise), contingent liabilities, prospects (as such
prospects relate to the initial and updated annual financial projections of MCL
and its Subsidiaries) or material agreements (that are filed or are required to
be filed in any report with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act) of MCL and its
Subsidiaries which, individually or when taken together with all other
circum-

<PAGE>
                                      -65-


stances, changes or events, has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, a
Material Adverse Effect.

         5.3. Existence; Compliance with Law. Except as disclosed in Schedule
5.3, each Credit Party and each of its Subsidiaries (a) is duly organized and
validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or
organization, (b) has full power and authority and possesses all governmental
franchises, licenses, permits, authorizations and approvals necessary to enable
it to use its corporate name and to own, lease or otherwise hold its properties
and assets and to carry on its business as presently conducted other than such
franchises, licenses, permits, authorizations and approvals the lack of which,
individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect, (c)
is duly qualified and in good standing (to the extent such concept is applicable
in the applicable jurisdiction) to do business in each jurisdiction in which the
nature of its business or the ownership, leasing or holding of its properties
makes such qualification necessary, except such jurisdictions where the failure
so to qualify, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material
Adverse Effect and (d) is in compliance with all applicable statutes, laws,
ordinances, rules, orders, permits and regulations of any Governmental Authority
or instrumentality, domestic or foreign (including, without limitation, those
related to Hazardous Materials and substances), except where noncompliance
individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect. None
of MCL nor any of its Subsidiaries have received any written communication from
a Governmental Authority that alleges that MCL or any of its Subsidiaries is not
in compliance with federal, state, local or foreign laws, ordinances, rules and
regulations except to the extent such noncompliance, individually or in the
aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

         5.4. Power; Authorization. Each Credit Party has the power and
authority to execute, deliver and perform each of the Credit Documents to which
it is a party, and Borrower has the power and authority and legal right to
borrow hereunder and to have Letters of Credit issued for its account hereunder.
Each Credit Party has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution,
delivery and performance of each of the Credit Documents to which it is or will
be a party and Borrower has taken all necessary action to authorize the
borrowings hereunder and the issuance of Letters of Credit for its account
hereunder. No consent or authorization of, or filing with, any Person
(including, without limitation, any Governmental Authority) is required in
connection with the execution, delivery or performance by any Credit Party, or
for the validity or enforceability in accordance with its terms against any
Credit Party, of any Credit Document except for (i) consents, authorizations and
filings which have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (ii)
such consents, authorizations and filings which the failure to obtain or
perform, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse
Effect, and (iii) such filings as are necessary to perfect the Liens of the
Administrative Agent, for its benefit and for the benefit of the other Secured
Parties created

<PAGE>
                                      -66-


pursuant to this Agreement and the Security Documents, which filings are listed
in Schedule 5.15(b) annexed hereto.

         5.5. Enforceable Obligations. This Agreement has been, and each of the
other Credit Documents and any other agreement to be entered into by any Credit
Party pursuant to each of the Transaction Documents will be, duly executed and
delivered on behalf of each Credit Party that is party thereto. This Agreement
and each of the Transaction Documents each constitute, and each of the other
Credit Documents and any other agreement to be entered into by any Credit Party
pursuant to the Transaction Documents will constitute upon execution and
delivery thereof, the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Credit Party
that is party thereto, and is enforceable against each Credit Party that is
party thereto in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws
affecting creditors' rights generally and by general principles of equity
(regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at
law).

         5.6. No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of each
Credit Document and the incurrence or issuance of and use of the proceeds of the
Loans and of drawings under the Letters of Credit and the Transactions (a) will
not violate any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation applicable to
or binding upon any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their
respective properties or assets, in any manner which, individually or in the
aggregate, would have a Material Adverse Effect, and (b) will not result in the
creation or imposition of any Lien on any of its properties or assets pursuant
to any Requirement of Law applicable to it, as the case may be, or any of its
Contractual Obligations, except for the Liens arising under the Security
Documents and Permitted Liens.

         5.7. No Material Litigation. Except as disclosed in Schedule 5.7, no
lawsuits, claims, proceedings or investigations are pending or, to the knowledge
of each Credit Party and its Subsidiaries, threatened in writing against or
affecting MCL and/or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective
properties, assets, operations, or businesses, which would affect the legality,
validity and enforceability of this Agreement and/or the Transaction Documents
of which have had, or are reasonably likely to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

         5.8. Investment Company Act. No Credit Party is an "investment company"
or a company "controlled" by an "investment company" (as each of the quoted
terms is defined or used in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended).

         5.9. Federal Regulation. The extensions of credit hereunder will not be
used for "buying" or "carrying" any "margin stock" within the respective
meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U as now and from time to
time hereafter in effect for any purpose that violates the provisions of the
regulations of the Board. If requested by any Lender or the Administrative
Agent, Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a
statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR
Form G-3 or FR

<PAGE>
                                      -67-


Form U-1, as applicable, referred to in Regulation U. Following application
of the proceeds of each extension of credit hereunder, not more than 25 percent
of the value of the assets of any Credit Party will be Margin Stock (as defined
in Regulation U). None of the Credit Parties is a "holding company", or an
"affiliate" of a "holding company" or a "subsidiary company" of a "holding
company", within the meaning of the United States Public Utility Holding Company
Act of 1935, as amended. No Credit Party is subject to regulation under any law
or regulation which limits its ability to incur Indebtedness, other than
Regulation X of the Board.

         5.10. No Default. Except as disclosed in Schedule 5.10, each Credit
Party and its Subsidiaries have performed all material obligations required to
be performed by them under their respective Contractual Obligations (including
after giving effect to the Transactions) relating to material agreements that
are filed or required to be filed in any report with the SEC pursuant to the
Exchange Act, and none of them is (with or without the lapse of time or the
giving of notice, or both) in breach or default in any respect thereunder,
except to the extent that such breach or default, individually or in the
aggregate, would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. No
Credit Party nor any of its Subsidiaries (including after giving effect to the
Transactions) is in default under any material judgment, order or decree of any
Governmental Authority, domestic or foreign, applicable to it or any of its
respective properties, assets, operations or business, except to the extent that
any such defaults would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably
likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

         5.11. Taxes. Except as disclosed in Schedule 5.11, each Credit Party
and its Subsidiaries (including after giving effect to the Transactions) (i)
have filed or caused to be filed all material Tax Returns required to be filed,
and all such Tax Returns are true and correct in all material respects and (ii)
have paid all Taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any
assessments made against them or any of their respective property and all other
Taxes, fees or other charges imposed on them or any of their respective property
by any Governmental Authority (other than any (x) the amount of which is
currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with
respect to which reserves (or other sufficient provisions) in conformity with
GAAP have been provided on the books of MCL or its Subsidiaries (including after
giving effect to the Transactions), as the case may be, or (y) which would not,
individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect). Each Credit
Party and its Subsidiaries have made adequate provision (in accordance with
GAAP) for all Taxes not yet due and payable. No Credit Party is aware of any
proposed or pending tax assessments, deficiencies or audits that are reasonably
likely to, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

         5.12. Subsidiaries. After giving effect to the consummation of the
Transactions, the Subsidiaries of MCL, their jurisdictions of incorporation and
their owners (by holder and percentage interest) on the Closing Date shall be as
set forth on Schedule 5.12.
<PAGE>
                                      -68-


         5.13. Ownership of Property; Liens. As of the Closing Date and as of
the making of any extension of credit hereunder (subject to transfers and
dispositions of property permitted under subsection 8.5), each Credit Party has
good and valid title to all of its owned material assets (other than minor
irregularities or deficiencies in title which, individually or in the aggregate,
would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect) in each case
free and clear of all Liens except Permitted Liens.

         5.14. ERISA. (a) No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected
to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which
liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all accumulated
benefit obligations of all Pension Plans (based on the assumptions used for
purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of
the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed
by more than $1,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of all Pension
Plans. Each ERISA Entity is in compliance in all material respects with the
presently applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code with respect to each
Employee Benefit Plan unless such noncompliance would not reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect. Using actuarial assumptions and computation
methods consistent with subpart 1 of subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA, the
aggregate liabilities of each ERISA Entity to all Multiemployer Plans in the
event of a complete withdrawal therefrom, as of the close of the most recent
fiscal year of each such Multiemployer Plan, would not reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect.

         (b) Each Foreign Plan has been maintained in substantial compliance
with its terms and with the requirements of any and all applicable laws,
statutes, rules, regulations and orders and has been maintained, where required,
in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities, unless such
noncompliance would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. No Credit Party nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred any material
obligation in connection with the termination of or withdrawal from any Foreign
Plan, unless such noncompliance would not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. The present value of the accrued benefit liabilities
(whether or not vested) under each Foreign Plan which is funded, determined as
of the end of the most recently ended fiscal year of MCL or any of its
Subsidiaries on the basis of actuarial assumptions, each of which is reasonable
under applicable law, did not exceed the current value of the assets of such
Foreign Plan by more than $1,000,000.

         5.15. Collateral Documents. (a) Upon execution and delivery thereof by
the parties thereto, the Security Documents will be effective to create in favor
of the Administrative Agent, for its benefit (as provided in clause 10.12)
and/or for the benefit of the other Secured Parties, a legal, valid and
enforceable security interest in the pledged stock and intercompany notes
described therein and, when stock certificates representing or constituting the
pledged stock described in the Security Documents and intercompany notes
described in the

<PAGE>
                                      -69-


Security Documents are delivered to the Administrative Agent, such security
interest shall, subject to (1) Permitted Liens of the type described in
subsection 8.2(a) and (2) compliance with applicable law other than the laws of
(i) Canada or any political subdivision or province thereof and (ii) the United
States (which laws shall be complied with in accordance with subsection 7.10
hereof); constitute a perfected first lien on, and security interest in (or
substantially the equivalent thereof relating to Collateral outside the United
States), all right, title and interest of the pledgor party thereto in the
pledged stock and intercompany notes described therein.

         (b) Upon execution and delivery thereof by the parties thereto, the
Security Documents will be effective to create in favor of the Administrative
Agent, for its benefit (as provided in clause 10.12) and/or for the benefit of
the other Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest (or
substantially the equivalent thereof relating to collateral outside the United
States) in the collateral described therein, and upon such filing of UCC and
PPSA financing statements in the locations listed on Schedule 5.15(b) and
appropriate filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the
United States Copyright Office (which filings shall be made to the extent set
forth on Schedule 5.15(b) or otherwise required by the applicable Security
Documents), and upon the taking of possession or control by the Administrative
Agent of any such collateral, the security interests in which may be perfected
only by possession or control, (which possession or control shall be given to
the Administrative Agent to the extent possession by the Administrative Agent is
required by any Security Document), such security interests will to the extent
such lien can be perfected by the filing of a financing statement pursuant to
the UCC, PPSA or possession or control by the Administrative Agent or by the
filing of an appropriate filing at the United States Patent and Trademark Office
or the United States Copyright Office, subject to the existence of Permitted
Liens, constitute perfected first priority liens on, and security interests in,
all right, title and interest of the debtor party thereto in the collateral
described therein.

         5.16. Copyrights, Patents, Permits, Trademarks and Licenses. Schedules
15(a) and 15(b) of the Perfection Certificate set forth a true and complete list
as of the Closing Date of all material United States federally registered
Intellectual Property owned by a Credit Party and, with respect to such material
United States federally registered Intellectual Property, contain a list of all
jurisdictions in which such Intellectual Property is registered or applied for,
all registration and application numbers and other information relating thereto
required pursuant to the Perfection Certificate. Except as disclosed in Schedule
15(a) or 15(b) of the Perfection Certificate, a Credit Party or one of its
Subsidiaries owns or has the right to use the Intellectual Property and
applications therefor referred to in such Schedule. Except as disclosed in
Schedules 15(a) and 15(b) of the Perfection Certificate, no claims are pending
by any Person with respect to the ownership, validity, enforceability or a
Credit Party's or any of its Subsidiaries' use of such Intellectual Property, or
applications therefor, challenging or questioning the validity or effectiveness
of any of the foregoing, in any jurisdiction, domestic or foreign, except to

<PAGE>
                                      -70-


the extent such claims, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

         5.17. Environmental Matters. Except as disclosed in Schedule 5.17 and
except insofar as any exceptions to the following, individually or in the
aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect:

         (a) the properties owned, leased or otherwise operated by any Credit
    Party or any of its Subsidiaries do not contain therein, thereon or
    thereunder, including, without limitation, the soil and groundwater
    thereunder, any Hazardous Materials in amounts or concentrations or in a
    manner that constitutes a violation of, or could reasonably be expected to
    give rise to liability under, Environmental Laws;

         (b) the properties owned, leased or otherwise operated by any Credit
    Party or any of its Subsidiaries and all operations and facilities at such
    properties are in compliance with all Environmental Laws;

         (c) no Credit Party nor any of its Subsidiaries has received or is
    aware of any written complaint, notice of violation, alleged violation or
    notice of investigation or of potential liability under any Environmental
    Law with regard to any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any
    properties or facilities owned, leased or otherwise operated by any of them,
    nor does any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries have knowledge that any

of a Responsible Officer of Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the
occurrence referred to therein and (in the cases of clauses (a) through (d))
stating what action (if any) the Credit Parties propose to take with respect
thereto. It is understood that, in an effort to comply with its covenants
hereunder, Borrower may from time to time deliver notices of events (including
events of the types described above) to the Administrative Agent and/or the
Lenders, and that the notification of any event or events shall not constitute
an admission or determination by any Credit Party that the event or events
covered by such notice have resulted or will result in a Material Adverse
Effect.

in good faith or (y) which would not reasonably be expected to give rise to a
Material Adverse Effect.

         (c) Maintain, update as appropriate and implement in all material
respects an environmental program designed to (i) ensure that each Credit Party

compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws; (ii) reasonably and prudently

Laws; and (iii) ensure that each Credit Party and its Subsidiaries undertake
reasonable efforts to identify, and evaluate, issues of compliance with and
potential liability under Environmental Laws prior to acquiring, directly or
indirectly, any ownership or leasehold interest in real property, or other
interest in any real property that could give rise to any Credit Party or any of
its Subsidiaries being subjected to liability under any Environmental Law as a
result of such acquisition, in each case except where any failures to maintain,
update as appropriate, and implement in all material respects an environmental
program as described above, individually or in the aggregate, after giving
effect to any mainte-


<PAGE>
                                      -85-

         7.9. Additional Collateral and Guarantees. (a) With respect to any
Properties acquired after the Closing Date by Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries or MCL (other than any Foreign Subsidiary of Borrower) that are

paragraph (b) of this subsection promptly (and in any event within 60 days after
the acquisition thereof)): (x) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent
such amendments or supplements to the relevant Security Documents or such other
documents as the Administrative Agent shall deem necessary or advisable to grant
to the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and for the benefit of the other
Secured Parties, a Lien on such Properties subject to no Liens other than
Permitted Liens, and (y) take all actions necessary to cause such Lien to be
duly perfected to the extent required by such Security Document in accordance
with all applicable Requirements of Law, including, without limitation, the
filing of financing statements in such jurisdictions as may be reasonably
requested by the Administrative Agent. Each Credit Party shall otherwise take
such actions and execute and/or deliver to the Administrative Agent such
documents as the Administrative Agent shall require to confirm the validity,
perfection and priority of the Lien of the Security Documents against such
after-acquired Properties.

         (b) With respect to any Person that is or becomes (1) a direct
Subsidiary of MCL; (2) a Subsidiary of Moore Holdings U.S.A. Inc. which holds
directly or indirectly 100% of the Capital Stock of Borrower; or (3) a direct or
indirect Subsidiary of Borrower, in each case that has assets having either book

within 60 days after such Person becomes a Subsidiary or has such assets) (i)
deliver to the Administrative Agent the certificates representing the Capital

to the Subsidiary Guarantee and the applicable Security Agreement or such
comparable documentation which is in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent, and (y) to take all actions necessary or advisable
to cause the Lien created by the applicable Security Agreement to be duly
perfected to the extent required by such agreement in accordance with all
applicable Requirements of Law, including, without limitation, if applicable,
the filing of financing statements in such jurisdictions as may be reasonably
requested by the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that (a) subject to
subsection 7.9(c)(B), no Foreign Subsidiary of Borrower need be-

                                      -86-


come a Subsidiary Guarantor or a party to the applicable Security Agreement and

Subsidiary of Borrower or a direct Subsidiary of a Domestic Subsidiary of
Borrower, neither MCL nor any of its Subsidiaries need comply with clause (i)
above, (b) no direct Subsidiary of MCL need become a party to the applicable
Security Agreement (other than Borrower, Moore Holdings U.S.A. Inc. or any
Subsidiary of Moore Holdings U.S.A. Inc. which holds directly or indirectly 100%
of the Capital Stock of Borrower), (c) subject to subsection 7.9(c)(B), no
direct Subsidiary of MCL that is not a wholly owned Subsidiary of MCL need
become party to a Subsidiary Guarantee and (d) subject to subsection 7.9(c)(B),
no Subsidiary of MCL need become party to a Subsidiary Guarantee or any Security
Agreement to the extent prohibited by applicable law.

         (c) If (A) at any time any two or more wholly owned Subsidiaries in the
aggregate of MCL not otherwise subject to subsection 7.9(b) other than by virtue
of clauses (a)-(d) of the proviso thereof produce revenue in excess of 5% of
total revenue of MCL and its Subsidiaries (as evidenced by the most recent
financial statements delivered pursuant to subsection 7.1), comply with
subsection 7.9(b) within 60 days after the end of the most recent fiscal quarter
then ended so that no two or more such Subsidiaries produce revenue in excess of
5% of total revenue of MCL and its Subsidiaries or (B) any Subsidiary which is
not a Guarantor guarantees any Indebtedness of MCL or any of its Subsidiaries
(other than a guarantee by a Non-Qualified Subsidiary of another Non-Qualified
Subsidiary's Indebtedness), comply immediately with subsection 7.9(b) regardless
of whether such Subsidiary is a Foreign Subsidiary of Borrower.

         (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) the Subsidiaries of MCL or
Borrower listed on Schedule 7.9 need not comply with subsection 7.9, and (2)
Borrower may designate any Subsidiary of MCL or Borrower created or acquired
after the Closing Date as a Non-Qualified Subsidiary which need not comply with
subsection 7.9 if (i) such designation is made prior to any Investment made in
such Subsidiary, (ii) such designation is made prior to any Affiliate
transaction as described in subsection 8.12 and (iii) Borrower shall have
provided the Administrative Agent with prior written notice of such designation.

limits specified on such schedule.

         7.11. Compliance with Law. Conduct its business and affairs in

later than 5 days), upon the reasonable request of Administrative Agent or any
Lender, at Bor-

rower's expense, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause the execution,
acknowledgment and delivery of, and thereafter register, file or record, or
cause to be registered, filed or recorded, in an appropriate governmental
office, any document or instrument supplemental to or confirmatory of the
Security Documents or otherwise deemed by Administrative Agent reasonably
necessary or desirable for the continued validity, perfection and priority of
the Liens on the Collateral covered thereby superior to and prior to the rights
of all third Persons other than the holders of Permitted Liens and subject to
other Liens except as permitted by the Security Documents, or use good faith
efforts to obtain any consents, including, without limitation, landlord or
similar lien waivers and consents, as may be necessary or appropriate in
connection therewith. Deliver or cause to be delivered to the Administrative
Agent from time to time such other documentation, consents, authorizations,
approvals and orders in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent as Administrative Agent shall reasonably deem necessary to
perfect or maintain the Liens on the Collateral pursuant to the Security
Documents. Upon the exercise by Administrative Agent or the Lenders of any
power, right, privilege or remedy pursuant to any Credit Document which requires
any consent, approval, registration, qualification or authorization of any
Governmental Authority execute and deliver all applications, certifications,
instruments and other documents and papers that Administrative Agent or the
Lenders may be so required to obtain.

         7.13. Required Interest Rate Agreements. Within 35 days after the

outstanding shall enter into Interest Rate Agreements designed to protect
Borrower against fluctuations in interest rates with respect to at least 50% of
the aggregate principal amount of the Tranche B Term Loans on terms and with
counterparties reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

         7.14. Use of Proceeds and Letters of Credit. The proceeds of any
Tranche A Term Loan will be used only to fund certain Permitted Acquisitions and
any related initial working capital requirements with respect thereto. The
proceeds of any Tranche B Term Loan will be used to fund the refinancing of the
Existing Senior Notes. The proceeds from the Revolving Credit Loans and the
Swing Line Loans will be used only for general corporate purposes and to fund
Borrower's working capital requirements.

         7.15. Taxes. MCL shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to,
timely and correctly file all material Tax Returns required to be filed by it.
MCL shall pay or cause to be paid or discharged, when due, all Taxes, charges
and assessments against MCL and its Subsidiaries or their property and all other
lawful claims required to be paid by MCL or such Subsidiaries, except as
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and with
respect to which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with
GAAP.

         7.16. Existing Senior Notes. The Existing Senior Notes shall be paid in
full prior to all extensions of credit under this Agreement exceeding
$140,000,000 (unless the pro-


<PAGE>

ceeds of such extensions of credit are being contemporaneously used to repay the
Existing Senior Notes in full).

permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, so long as the

    Subsidiary shall comply with the requirements of such subsection within 10
    days of the transaction giving rise to such requirement;

    ordinary course of business (provided that such financing is entered into
    within 180 days of the acquisition of such property) of MCL or its
    Subsidiaries in an amount (based on the remaining balance of the obligations

    (including seller earnouts) which such Indebtedness to any seller shall be

terminate any provisions of the documentation governing the organization of MCL

foregoing, Indebtedness incurred by a Non-Qualified Subsidiary may contain a
provision that no Lien on the assets of such Non-Qualified Subsidiary may exist
unless such Indebtedness is equally and ratably secured with any other
Indebtedness secured by such assets.

obligations of the Credit Parties in respect of the Letters of Credit, although
contingent and unmatured, shall become immediately due and payable and the
Issuing Lender's obligations to issue the Letters of Credit shall immediately
terminate and (y) if such event is any other Event of Default, so long as any
such Event of Default shall be continuing, either or both of the following
actions may be taken: (i) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the
Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the
Administrative Agent shall, by notice to Borrower, declare the Commitments and
the Issuing Lender's obligations to issue the Letters of Credit to be terminated
forthwith, whereupon the Commitments and such obligations shall immediately
terminate; and (ii) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative
Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent
shall, by notice of default to Borrower, (a) declare all or a portion of the
Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing
under this Agreement and the Notes to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon
the same shall immediately become due and payable, and (b) declare all or a
portion of the obligations of Borrower in respect of the Letters of Credit,
although contingent and unmatured, to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon
the same shall immediately become due and payable and/or demand that Borrower
discharge any or all of the obligations supported by the Letters of Credit by
paying or prepaying any amount due or to become due in respect of such
obligations. All payments under this Section 9 on account of undrawn Letters of
Credit shall be made by Borrower directly to a cash collateral account
established by the Administrative Agent for such purpose for application to
Borrower's reimbursement obligations under subsection 3.8 as drafts are
presented under the Letters of Credit, (x) with the balance, if any, to be
applied to Borrower's obligations under this Agreement and the Notes as the
Administrative Agent shall determine with the approval of the Required Lenders
and (y) after all Letters of Credit have terminated in accordance with their
terms (or been fully drawn upon), and after all obligations under this Agreement
and the Notes have been paid in full (other than ongoing indemnity obligations
where no demand for payment has been made), any excess amounts on deposit shall
be returned to Borrower. Except as expressly provided above in this Section 9,
presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any kind are hereby
expressly waived.

         SECTION 10. THE AGENTS AND THE ISSUING LENDER

         10.1. Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designate and appoint
Citicorp USA, Inc. as the Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents and
irrevocably authorize Citicorp USA, Inc., as Administrative Agent for such
Lender, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of the Credit
Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly
delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the


<PAGE>
                                     -108-


Credit Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. For the purposes of holding any security granted by any Credit Party
pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec to secure payment of any
debenture or other title of indebtedness issued by any Credit Party, the
Administrative Agent shall be the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney
(fonde de pouvoir within the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of
Quebec) for all present and future Lenders. By executing an Assignment and
Acceptance, each future Lender shall be deemed to ratify the power of attorney
(fonde de pouvoir) granted to the Administrative Agent hereunder. The
Administrative Agent agrees to act in such capacity. The Lenders and the Credit
Parties agree that notwithstanding Section 32 of the Act respecting the Special
Powers of Legal Persons (Quebec), the Administrative Agent may, as the person
holding the power of attorney of the Lenders, acquire any debentures or other
titles of indebtedness secured by any hypothec granted by any Credit Party to
the Administrative Agent pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec. Unless
expressly provided to the contrary in the relevant document, the Administrative
Agent holds any security granted by any Credit Party under the laws of England
in trust for the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders from
time to time. Subject to the terms of the Credit Documents, each of the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and each Lender authorizes the
Administrative Agent to execute, hold and enforce any security granted by any
Credit Party under the laws of England. The perpetuity period for the trusts in
this subsection 10.1 is 80 years. (Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
elsewhere in this Agreement, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities,
except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship (except
to the extent that the Administrative Agent acts as trustee as specifically set
out above) with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions,
responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into the
Credit Documents or otherwise exist against any Agent.)

         10.2. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of
its duties under this Agreement and each of the other Credit Documents by or
through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel
concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall
not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or
attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care, except as otherwise
provided in subsection 10.3.

         10.3. Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent nor any of its officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (i)
liable to any Lender for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it
or such Person under or in connection with the Credit Documents (except for its
or such Person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii)
responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements,
representations or warranties made by any Credit Party or any officer thereof
contained in the Credit Documents or in any certificate, report, statement or
other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under
or in connection with, the Credit Documents or for the value, validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of the Credit


<PAGE>
                                     -109-


Documents or for any failure of any Credit Party to perform its obligations
thereunder. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to
ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the
agreements contained in, or conditions of, any Credit Document, or to inspect
the properties, books or records of any Credit Party.

         10.4. Reliance by Agents. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to
rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any Note, entries maintained
in the Register, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit,
letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement,
order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct
and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon
advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel
to Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of
any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of
assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in
failing or refusing to take any action under any Credit Document unless it shall
first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, where a
higher percentage of the Lenders is expressly required hereunder, such Lenders)
as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by
the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by
it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative
Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from
acting, under any Credit Document in accordance with a request of the Required
Lenders (unless a higher percentage of Lenders is expressly required), and such
request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding
upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Notes.

         10.5. Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or
notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless
such Agent has received written notice from an Agent, a Lender or Borrower or
any other Credit Party referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or
Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default". In the
event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative
Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative
Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as
shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided that unless and
until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the
Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or
refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of
Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

         10.6. Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly
acknowledges that no Agent nor any officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates thereof has made any representations or
warranties to it and that no act by any Agent


<PAGE>
                                     -110-


hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Credit Parties,
shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Agent to
any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and
without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents
and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and
investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other
condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and its Subsidiaries and made its own
decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender
also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent
or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall
deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis,
appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under the Credit
Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself
as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of Borrower and its Subsidiaries. Except for notices, reports
and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the
Administrative Agent hereunder, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility
to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the
business, operations, property, financial and other condition or
creditworthiness of the Credit Parties which may come into the possession of
such Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

         10.7. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Agents in
their capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Credit Parties and
without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), ratably
according to the respective amounts of their respective Commitments (or, to the
extent such Commitments have been terminated, according to the respective
outstanding principal amounts of the Loans and the L/C Obligations and the
respective obligations, whether as Issuing Lender or a Participating Lender,
under the Letter of Credit), from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (whether
before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Commitments, the
Credit Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the
transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent
under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall
be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements resulting solely from such Agent's gross negligence or willful
misconduct. The agreements in this subsection 10.7 shall survive the repayment
of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

         10.8. Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its Affiliates
may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of
business with any Credit Party as though such Agent were not an Agent hereunder.
With respect to Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of
Credit issued or participated in by it, each


<PAGE>
                                     -111-


Agent shall have the same rights and powers, duties and liabilities under the
Credit Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not
an Agent, and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" shall include such Agent in its
individual capacity.

         10.9. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may
resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days' notice to the Lenders and Borrower.
If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under the
Credit Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders
a successor agent for the Lenders which successor agent shall, so long as no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, be approved by Borrower, which
shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval, whereupon such successor
agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative
Agent, and the term "Administrative Agent" shall mean such successor agent
effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative
Agent's rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated,
without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former
Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of
the Notes. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the applicable
Administrative Agent by the date which is 30 days following the retiring
Administrative Agent's notice of registration, the retiring Administrative
Agent's registration shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the
Lenders shall perform all of the duties of such Administrative Agent hereunder
until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as
provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation
hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 10 shall inure
to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was
the Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents.

         10.10. Issuing Lender as Issuer of Letters of Credit. Each Revolving
Credit Lender hereby acknowledges that the provisions of this Section 10 shall
apply to the Issuing Lender, in its capacity as issuer of the Letters of Credit,
in the same manner as such provisions are expressly stated to apply to the
Administrative Agent, except that obligations to indemnify the Issuing Lender
shall be ratable among the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their
respective Revolving Credit Commitments (or, if the Revolving Credit Commitments
have been terminated, the outstanding principal amount of their respective
Revolving Credit Loans and L/C Obligations and their respective participating
interests in the outstanding Letters of Credit).

         10.11. Other Agents. Each Lender hereby acknowledges that neither the
Syndication Agent, the Sole Lead Arranger, the Co-Documentation Agents nor any
other Lender designated as "Agent" hereunder or herein or in any Credit Document
has any liability hereunder other than in its capacity as a Lender. Each party
hereto agrees that each Agent not a signatory hereto shall be a third party
beneficiary of the rights herein set forth applicable to such Agent.


<PAGE>
                                     -112-


         10.12. Parallel Debt. (a) Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally undertake to pay the Administrative Agent amounts equal to any
amounts owing by such Credit Party to each Lender under the Credit Documents as
and when the same fall due for payment thereunder, so that the Administrative
Agent shall be the obligee of such covenant to pay and shall be entitled to
claim performance thereof in its own name and not as agent acting on behalf of
the Lenders.


         (b) The Credit Parties and the Administrative Agent acknowledge that
for this purpose such obligations of the Credit Parties are several and are
separate and independent from, and without prejudice to, the identical
obligations which the Credit Parties have to each Lender under the relevant
Credit Documents, provided that this shall not, at the time, result in any
Credit Party incurring an aggregate obligation to the Lenders and Administrative
Agent which is greater than the obligation to the Lenders under the Credit
Documents.

         (c) Without prejudice to the foregoing, it is agreed by the parties
that (i) the amounts due and payable by any Credit Party under this subsection
10.12 (the "Parallel Debt") shall be decreased to the extent that such Credit
Party has paid any amounts to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in respect
of liabilities hereunder and vice versa and (ii) the Parallel Debt shall not
exceed the aggregate of the corresponding obligations which any Credit Party has
to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Credit Documents.

         (d) Nothing in this subsection 10.12 shall in any way negate, affect or
increase the obligations of any Credit Party to the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders under the Credit Documents in respect of the liabilities under this
Agreement. For the purpose of this subsection 10.12, the Administrative Agent
acts in its own name and on behalf of itself and not as agent or representative
of any other party hereto and any security granted to the Administrative Agent
to secure the Parallel Debt is granted to the Administrative Agent in its
capacity as creditor of the Parallel Debt as well as any other capacity under
the Credit Documents.

         (e) Without limiting or affecting the Administrative Agent's rights
against the Credit Parties (whether under this subsection 10.12 or under any
other provision of the Credit Documents), the Administrative Agent agrees with
each Lender (on a several and divided basis) that, subject as set out in the
next sentence, it will not exercise its rights as parallel creditor except with
the consent of each Lender. However, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the
previous sentence shall in any way limit the Administrative Agent's right to act
in the protection or preservation of rights under, or to enforce any, Credit
Document (or to do any act reasonably incidental to any of the foregoing).

         SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS

         11.1. Amendments and Waivers. Except as otherwise expressly set forth
in this Agreement, no Credit Document nor any terms thereof may be amended,
supplemented, waived or modified except in accordance with the provisions of
this subsection 11.1. With the written consent of the Required Lenders, the
Administrative Agent (acting at the request of the Required Lenders) and the
applicable Credit Parties or their Subsidiaries may, from time to time, enter
into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto for the purpose of
adding any provisions to any Credit Document to which they are parties or
changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of any such Credit Party or
its Subsidiaries thereunder or waiving, on such terms and conditions as the
Administrative Agent may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of
any such Credit Document or any Default or Event of Default and its
consequences; provided that:

         (a) no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification
    shall release all or substantially all of the Guarantees or the Collateral
    without the written consent of each affected Lender; provided that,
    notwithstanding the foregoing, this paragraph (a) shall not be applicable to
    and no consent shall be required for releases of Collateral in connection
    with any dispositions permitted by subsection 8.5;

         (b) no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification
    shall forgive the principal amount or extend the date for any scheduled
    amortization payment of any Loan or Note, or extend the stated expiration
    date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving Credit Termination Date as
    then in effect, or reduce the stated rate of any interest, fee or letter of
    credit commission payable hereunder (except in connection with the waiver of
    applicability of any post-default increase in interests, fees or letter of
    credit commission, and it being further understood and agreed that any
    amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement
    shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest, fees or letter of
    credit commission for the purposes of this clause (b)) or extend the
    scheduled date of any payment of any interest, fee or commitment commission,
    or increase the amount of the Commitments (it being understood that waivers
    or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults of Events of
    Default or of mandatory reductions in the Commitments shall not constitute
    an increase in the Commitments of any Lender), or modify subsection 11.7(a)
    or subsection in case without the written consent of each Lender whose
    obligations or Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be, held
    hereunder are being directly modified thereby;

         (c) no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification
    shall amend, modify or waive any provision of this subsection 11.1 (except
    for technical amendments with respect to additional extensions of credit
    pursuant to this Agreement


<PAGE>
                                     -114-


    which afford the protections to such additional extensions of credit of the
    type provided to the Loans and the Commitments on the Closing Date) or
    reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders (it
    being understood that, with the written consent of the Required Lenders
    (such consent not required with respect to the Term Loan B Facility
    Increase), additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be
    included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the
    same basis as the extensions of Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments are
    included in the Closing Date), or consent to the assignment or transfer by
    any Credit Party of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
    and the other Credit Documents, in each case without the written consent of
    all Lenders;

         (d) no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification
    shall change the allocation of payments between the Term Loan Facilities
    pursuant to subsection 4.4 or make any change to subsection 4.4(e), in each
    case without the written consent of the Majority Facility Lenders in respect
    of each Term Loan Facility adversely affected thereby (it being understood
    and agreed that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional
    extensions of term loans may be included for purposes of allocation of
    payments pursuant to subsection 4.4 on substantially the same basis as
    either the Tranche A Term Loans or Tranche B Term Loans (as agreed by
    Borrower and the Required Lenders) are treated on the Closing Date) and that
    only the consent of the Credit Parties and the entities providing the Term
    Loan B Facility Increase need be obtained for any such allocation of
    payments in respect of the Term Loan B Facility Increase;

         (e) no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification
    shall reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Majority Facility
    Lenders without the written consent of all Lenders under each affected
    Facility;

         (f) no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification
    shall reduce the amount of, or extend the date of, any scheduled
    amortization payment in respect of any Term Loan without the written consent
    of all of the Lenders holding Term Loans pursuant to the respective
    Facility, and all of the Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility may
    extend the Revolving Credit Termination Date (it being understood that the
    consent of no other Lender or Agent need be obtained);

         (g) no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification
    affecting the then Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender shall amend,
    modify or waive any provision of Section 10 without the written consent of
    such Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender, as the case may be; and

         (h) without the consent of any other Agent or of any Lender, the Credit
    Parties and the Administrative Agent may (in their respective sole
    discretion, or shall, to the

<PAGE>
                                     -115-



    extent required by any Credit Document) enter into any amendment,
    modification or waiver of any Credit Document, or enter into any new
    agreement or instrument, to effect the granting, perfection, protection,
    expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or
    additional Property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured
    Parties, or as required by local law to give effect to, or protect any
    security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any Property or
    so that the security interests therein comply with applicable law.

Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification described in
this subsection 11.1 shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be
binding upon each Credit Party and its Subsidiaries, the Lenders, the
Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender and all future holders of the Notes
and the Loans. Any extension of a Letter of Credit by the Issuing Lender shall
be treated hereunder as a new Letter of Credit. In the case of any waiver, the
Credit Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and Issuing Lender shall
be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the
outstanding Notes, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to
be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent
or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

         11.2. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the
respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing (including by
telecopy or telex, if one is listed), and, unless otherwise expressly provided
herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered by hand,

provided that any notice, request or demand to or upon the Administrative Agent
or the Lenders pursuant to subsections 3.4, 3.5, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 shall not
be effective until received and provided, further, that the failure to provide
the copies of notices to Borrower provided for in this subsection 11.2 shall not
result in any liability to the Administrative Agent.

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

         11.4. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations
and warranties made hereunder and in any document, certificate or statement
delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution
and delivery of this Agreement, the Letters of Credit and the Notes and the
making of the extensions of credit hereunder.

         11.5. Indemnification; Payment of Expenses and Taxes. (a) MCL and
Borrower jointly and severally agree to pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by the Agents, the Sole Lead Arranger and their respective
Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel
for the Agents and the Sole Lead Arranger in connection with the syndication of
the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of
the Credit Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the
provisions thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby shall be consummated or any such amendment, modification or waiver
becomes effective), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Issuing Lenders in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension
of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents, the Sole Lead Arranger
the Issuing Lenders or any Lender, including the reasonable fees, charges and
disbursements of any counsel for the Agents, the Sole Lead Arranger, the Issuing
Lenders or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of their
rights in connection with the Credit Documents, including their rights under
this subsection 11.5, or in connection with the Loans made, or Letters of Credit
issued or drawn hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred
during any workout, restructuring or negotiations relating to any workout or
restructuring in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

         (b) MCL and Borrower jointly and severally agree to indemnify the
Agents, the Sole Lead Arranger, the Issuing Lender and each Lender, and each of
their Affiliates, officers, directors and controlled parties of any of the
foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an "Indemnitee") against, and
hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims,


<PAGE>
                                     -118-


damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and
disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against
any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the
execution or delivery of any Credit Document or any other agreement or
instrument contemplated hereby by any Credit Party, the performance by any
Credit Party of its respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the
Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or
Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by
an Issuing Lender to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the
documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with
the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or
release of Hazardous Materials on, under, at or from any Real Property or any
other property or facility currently or formerly owned, leased or operated by
any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or any liability under or violation
of Environmental Laws related in any way to any Credit Party or any of its
Subsidiaries, (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or
proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or
any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto;
provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to
the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses
are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
such Indemnitees or (v) any and all recording and filing fees and any and all
liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp,
excise and other similar taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be
payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation of any
of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or
modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, any Credit
Document and any such other documents.

         (c) To the extent that MCL or Borrower fails to pay any amount required
to be paid by it to an Agent or an Issuing Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of
this subsection 11.5, each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent or such
Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such Lender's pro rata share (determined as
of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is
sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or
indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may
be, was incurred by or asserted against such Agent or such Issuing Lender in its
capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender's "pro rata share" shall be
determined based upon its share of the sum of the aggregate amount of the total
Loans and Commitments at the time.

         (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, neither MCL nor Borrower
shall assert, and each of MCL and Borrower hereby waives, any claim against any
Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or
punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or
instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan, Letter of Credit or
the use of the proceeds thereof.

                                     -119-


         (e) All amounts due under this subsection 11.5 shall be payable
promptly after written demand therefor.

         11.6. Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Credit Party,
the Lenders, each Agent, all future holders of the Notes and the Loans, and
their respective successors and assigns, except that no Credit Party may assign
or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the
prior written consent of each Lender.

         (b) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking,
lending or investment business and in accordance with applicable law, at any
time sell to one or more banks or other entities ("Participants") participating
interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any participating interest in the
Letters of Credit of such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment
of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder. In the event of
any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such
Lender's obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement
shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the
performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for
all purposes under this Agreement and Borrower and the Administrative Agent
shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with
such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents. Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and
the Notes are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become
due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant
shall be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating
interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and any Note to the same extent
as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a
Lender under this Agreement or any Note; provided that such right of setoff
shall be subject to the obligation of such Participant to share with the
Lenders, and the Lenders agree to share with such Participant, as provided in
subsection 11.7. Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to
the benefits of subsections 3.10, 4.11 and 4.12 with respect to its
participation in the Letters of Credit and in the Commitments and the Loans
outstanding from time to time as if it were a Lender; provided that no
Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such
subsection than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in
respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender
to such Participant had no such transfer occurred. Each Lender agrees that the
participation agreement pursuant to which any Participant acquires its
participating interest (or any other document) may afford voting rights to such
Participant, or any right to instruct such Lender with respect to voting
hereunder, only with respect to matters requiring the consent of either all of
the Lenders hereunder or all of the Lenders holding the relevant Term Loans or
Revolving Credit Commitments subject to such participation.

         (c) Subject to paragraph (g) of this subsection 11.6, any Lender may at
any time and from time to time, in accordance with applicable law,

         (i) assign all or any part of its rights and obligations under this
    Agreement relating to the Term Loans and the Term Notes to any Lender or any
    Affiliate or Approved Fund of any Lender or the Federal Reserve Bank
    pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance executed by such Assignee and such
    assigning Lender, and delivered to the Administrative Agent (for its
    acceptance and recording in the Register (as defined below));

         (ii) assign, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which in
    each case shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), all or any part of
    its rights and obligations under this Agreement relating to the Revolving
    Credit Loans or the Revolving Credit Commitment and the Revolving Credit
    Notes to any Lender or any Affiliate thereof pursuant to an Assignment and
    Acceptance executed by such Assignee and such assigning Lender and the
    Administrative Agent, and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its
    acceptance and recording in the Register; and

         (iii) assign to one or more Eligible Assignees, all or any part of its
    rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes pursuant to an
    Assignment and Acceptance executed by such Assignee and such assigning
    Lender (and, in the case of an Eligible Assignee that is not then a Lender
    or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender, by Borrower (to the extent
    such assignment is not in connection with assignments by Citicorp USA, Inc.
    or any of its Affiliates in connection with the syndication of the Loans and
    Commitments within 60 days of the date hereof and so long as no Default or
    Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) and the
    Administrative Agent), and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its
    acceptance and recording in the Register.

Unless an assignment is to any Lender or any Affiliate or Approved Fund of any
Lender or the Federal Reserve Bank or unless the assigning Lender is
transferring all of its rights and obligations, each sale pursuant to clause
(iii) of this subsection 11.6(c) shall be in a principal amount of at least
$5,000,000 ($1,000,000 in the case of the Term Loan B Facility) (or such lesser
amounts as the Administrative Agent and Borrower may determine) unless the
assigning Lender is transferring all of its rights and obligations. In the event
of a sale of less than all of such rights and obligations, such Lender after any
such sale shall retain Commitments and/or Loans and/or L/C Participating
Interests aggregating at least $1,000,000 (or in such lesser amount as the
Administrative Agent and Borrower may determine). Upon such execution, delivery,
acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant
to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party
hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the
rights and obligations of a


<PAGE>
                                     -121-


Lender hereunder with a Commitment as set forth therein, and (y) the assigning
Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest transferred, as reflected
in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this
Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the
remaining portion of a transferor Lender's rights and obligations under this
Agreement, such transferor Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall
continue to be entitled to the benefits of the indemnification provisions set
forth in subsection 11.5).

         (d) The Administrative Agent, which for purposes of this subsection
11.6(d) only shall be deemed to be the agent of Borrower, shall maintain at the
address of the Administrative Agent referred to in subsection 11.2 a copy of
each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the "Register")
for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the
Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender from
time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error, and Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall
treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Loan
or other obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this
Agreement and the other Credit Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the
contrary. Any assignment of any Loan or other obligation hereunder shall be
effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the
Register. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower or any
Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice.

         (e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an
assigning Lender and an Assignee (and by Borrower and the Administrative Agent
to the extent required by paragraph (c) of this subsection 11.6), together with
payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of
$3,500 if the Assignee is not a Lender prior to the execution of such Assignment
and Acceptance and $1,000 otherwise, the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly
accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) on the effective date determined
pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and
give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and Borrower (and
no such assignment shall become effective unless and until so recorded);
provided that, in the case of contemporaneous assignments by a Lender to more
than one fund managed by the same investment advisor or an Affiliate of such
investment advisor (which funds are not then Lenders hereunder), only a single
$3,500 fee shall be payable for all such contemporaneous assignments. On or
prior to such effective date, Borrower at its own expense, shall execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent (in exchange for any or all of the Term
Notes or Revolving Credit Notes of the assigning Lender, if any (or if any Note
is lost, an affidavit of such loss and indemnity satisfactory to Borrower)) new
Term Notes or Revolving Credit Notes, as the case may be, to the order of such
Assignee (if requested) in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment or
the Term Loans, as the case may be, assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment
and Acceptance and, if the assigning Lender has retained a Commitment or any



<PAGE>
                                     -122-


Term Loans hereunder, new Term Loan Notes or Revolving Credit Notes, as the case
may be, to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the
Commitment or such Term Loans, as the case may be, retained by it hereunder (if
requested). Such new Notes shall be dated the Closing Date and shall otherwise
be in the form of the Notes replaced thereby.

         (f) Each Agent and the Lenders agree that they will use reasonable
efforts to protect the confidentiality of any confidential information
concerning each Credit Party and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates. Each Credit
Party authorizes each Lender to disclose (i) to its directors, employees,
officers, Affiliates and advisors, who shall be bound by the confidentiality
provisions hereof, (ii) to any regulatory authority as required by law or to any
quasi-regulatory authority (including the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners), (iii) in connection with any enforcement or other legal action,
(iv) to any Participant or Assignee (each, a "Transferee") and any prospective
Transferee any and all information in such Lender's possession concerning any
Credit Party and its Subsidiaries which has been delivered to such Lender by or
on behalf of any Credit Party pursuant to this Agreement or which has been
delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of any Credit Party in connection with
such Lender's credit evaluation of each Credit Party and its Subsidiaries prior
to becoming a party to this Agreement; provided that each Lender shall cause its
respective prospective and actual Transferees to agree in writing to protect the
confidentiality of any confidential information concerning each Credit Party and
its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, (v) as has become generally available to the
public, (vi) as may be required or appropriate in any report, statement or
testimony submitted to any municipal, state or Federal regulatory body having or
claiming to have jurisdiction over such party or to the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or
similar organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their
successors, and (vii) as may be required or appropriate in response to any
summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation or regulatory
proceeding; provided, however, that each Credit Party acknowledges that the
Administrative Agent has disclosed and may continue to disclose such information
as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion determines is appropriate to
the Lenders from time to time.

         (g) If, pursuant to this subsection 11.6, any interest in this
Agreement or any Note is transferred to any Transferee which is organized under
the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any State thereof,
the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the
effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the terms of this Agreement
including without limitation subsection 4.11(d).

         (h) For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge
that the provisions of this subsection 11.6 concerning assignments of Loans and
Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not
prohibit assignments merely creating security interests, including, without
limitation, any pledge or assignment creating a security interest by a Lender of
any Loan or Note to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with ap-


<PAGE>
                                     -123-


plicable law; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest
shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any
such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

         11.7. Adjustments; Set-off. (a) If any relevant Lender (a "benefited
Lender") shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of any of its
Loans or L/C Participating Interests, as the case may be, or interest thereon,
or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or
involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature
referred to in clause (f) of Section 9, or otherwise) in a greater proportion
than any such payment to and collateral received by any other relevant Lender
(other than in accordance with subsection 4.4(e) or any other provision hereof
expressly providing for payments to be made only to an individual Lender or to
the Lenders of a particular Facility), if any, in respect of such other relevant
Lender's Loans or L/C Participating Interests, as the case may be, or interest
thereon, such benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other relevant
Lenders such portion of each such other relevant Lender's Loans or L/C
Participating Interests, as the case may be, or shall provide such other
relevant Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds
thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such benefited Lender to share the
excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of
the relevant Lenders; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment
or benefits is thereafter recovered from such benefited Lender, such purchase
shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent
of such recovery, but without interest. Each Credit Party agrees that each
Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender's Loans and/or L/C
Participating Interests may exercise all rights of payment (including, without
limitation, rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such
Lender were the direct holder of such portion. The Administrative Agent shall
promptly give Borrower notice of any set-off; provided that the failure to give
such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off.

         (b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by
law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to any Credit Party,
any such notice being expressly waived by each Credit Party to the extent
permitted by applicable law, upon (i) the filing of a petition under any of the
provisions of the federal Bankruptcy Code or amendments thereto, by or against;
(ii) the making of an assignment for the benefit of creditors by; (iii) the
application for the appointment, or the appointment, of any receiver of, or of
any substantial portion of the property of; (iv) the issuance of any execution
against any substantial portion of the property of; (v) the issuance of a
subpoena or order, in supplementary proceedings, against or with respect to any
substantial portion of the property of; or (vi) the issuance of a warrant of
attachment against any substantial portion of the property of any Credit Party
to set off and apply against any indebtedness, whether matured or unmatured, of
any Credit Party to such Lender, any amount owing from such Lender to any Credit
Party, at or at any time after, the happening of any of the above mentioned
events. As security for such indebtedness, each Credit Party hereby grants to
each Lender a continuing security interest in any and all deposits,


<PAGE>
                                     -124-


accounts or moneys of each Credit Party then or thereafter maintained with such
Lender, subject in each case to subsection 11.7(a) of this Agreement. The
aforesaid right of set-off may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be
exercised by such Lender against any Credit Party or against any trustee in
bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors,
receiver or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of any Credit Party, or
against anyone else claiming through or against any Credit Party or such trustee
in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors,
receiver, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor, notwithstanding the
fact that such right of set-off shall not have been exercised by such Lender
prior to the making, filing or issuance, or service upon such Lender of, or of
notice of, any such petition; assignment for the benefit of creditors;
appointment or application for the appointment of a receiver; or issuance of
execution, subpoena, order or warrant. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify
Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application
made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not
affect the validity of such set-off and application.

         11.8. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of
the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts and all of
said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same
instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties
shall be lodged with Borrower and the Administrative Agent. This Agreement shall
become effective with respect to Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders when the Administrative Agent shall have received copies of this
Agreement executed by the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders, or, in the case of any Lender, shall have received telephonic
confirmation from such Lender stating that such Lender has executed counterparts
of this Agreement or the signature pages hereto and sent the same to the
Administrative Agent.

         11.9. Governing Law; Third Party Rights. This Agreement and the Notes
and the rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement and the Notes
shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the law
of the State of New York. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, and, except as set
forth in this subsection 11.9, no other Persons shall have any right, benefit,
priority or interest under, or because of the existence of, this Agreement. The
designation of any Agent by the Administrative Agent in connection with the
syndication hereof shall entitle such Agents to certain rights as third-party
beneficiaries as provided herein, without any further act by any party hereto.

         11.10. Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. (a) Each party to this
Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

         (i) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or
    proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents,
    or for recognition and


<PAGE>
                                     -125-


    enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general
    jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the
    United States for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts
    from any thereof;

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

         (iii) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding
    may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail
    (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such party
    at its address set forth in subsection 11.2 or at such other address of
    which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;
    and

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

         (b) Each party hereto unconditionally waives trial by jury in any legal
action or proceeding referred to in paragraph (a) above and any counterclaim
therein.

         11.11. [Reserved] .

         11.12. Interest. Each provision in this Agreement and each other Credit
Document is expressly limited so that in no event whatsoever shall the amount
paid, or otherwise agreed to be paid, by Borrower for the use, forbearance or
detention of the money to be loaned under this Agreement or any other Credit
Document or otherwise (including any sums paid as required by any covenant or
obligation contained herein or in any other Credit Document which is for the
use, forbearance or detention of such money), exceed that amount of money which
would cause the effective rate of interest to exceed the highest lawful rate
permitted by applicable law (the "Highest Lawful Rate"), and all amounts owed
under this Agreement and each other Credit Document shall be held to be subject
to reduction to the effect that such amounts so paid or agreed to be paid which
are for the use, forbearance or detention of money under this Agreement or such
other Credit Document shall in no event exceed that amount of money which would
cause the effective rate of interest to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate.
Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or any other Credit Document to
the contrary, if the maturity of the Loans or the obligations in respect of the
other Credit Documents are accelerated for any reason, or in the event of any
prepayment of all or any portion of the Loans or the obligations in respect of
the other Credit Documents by Borrower or in any other event, earned interest on
the Loans and such other obligations of Borrower may never exceed the Highest
Lawful Rate, and any unearned interest otherwise payable on the


<PAGE>
                                     -126-


Loans or the obligations in respect of the other Credit Documents that is in
excess of the Highest Lawful Rate shall be canceled automatically as of the date
of such acceleration or prepayment or other such event and (if theretofore paid)
shall, at the option of the holder of the Loans or such other obligations, be
either refunded to Borrower or credited on the principal of the Loans. In
determining whether or not the interest paid or payable, under any specific
contingency, exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, Borrower and the Lenders shall, to
the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, amortize, prorate, allocate and
spread, in equal parts during the period of the actual term of this Agreement,
all interest at any time contracted for, charged, received or reserved in
connection with this Agreement.

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

         11.14. Integration. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents (and
those provisions of the commitment letter dated July 1, 2002 among Borrower,
MCL, Salomon Smith Barney Inc. and Citicorp USA, Inc. that expressly by their
terms survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement) represent the entire
agreement of the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with
respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises,
undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any
Lender relative to the subject matter hereof and thereof not expressly set forth
or referred to herein or in the other Credit Documents.

         11.15. Acknowledgments. Each Credit Party hereby acknowledges that:

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

         (b) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary
    relationship with or duty to any Credit Party arising out of or in
    connection with this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, and the
    relationship between the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on one hand,
    and each Credit Party, on the other hand, in connection herewith or
    therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

         (c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Credit Documents
    or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among
    the Lenders or among any Credit Party and the Lenders.

         SECTION 12. COLLATERAL ACCOUNT; APPLICATION OF COLLATERAL PROCEEDS

         12.1. Collateral Account. (a) The Administrative Agent is hereby
authorized to establish and maintain at its office at 390 Greenwich Street, New
York, NY 10013, in the name of the Administrative Agent and pursuant to a
Control Agreement, a restricted deposit account designated "Moore North America,
Inc. -- Collateral Account" with respect to which the Administrative Agent shall
at all times have "control" (as defined in Section 9-104 of the UCC). Each
Credit Party shall deposit into the Collateral Account from time to time;
provided that there shall be no obligation to deposit any such net proceeds
unless and until, and only to the extent that, the aggregate amount at any time
outstanding (and not applied in accordance with this Agreement) exceeds
$15,000,000 (such $15,000,000 to be calculated net of the amount to be
reinvested under any then existing binding contract entered into by MCL or any
of its Subsidiaries to reinvest such net proceeds), (A) the cash proceeds of any
of the Collateral (including pursuant to any disposition thereof) to the extent
contemplated herein or in any other Credit Document, (B) the cash proceeds of
any Taking or Destruction with respect to Collateral, (C) any cash in respect of
any Collateral to which the Collateral Agent is entitled pursuant to the Credit
Documents, and (D) any cash such Credit Party is required to pledge as
additional collateral security hereunder pursuant to the Credit Documents.

         (b) The balance from time to time in the Collateral Account shall
constitute part of the Collateral and shall not constitute payment of the
Obligations until applied as hereinafter provided. So long as no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing or will result therefrom, the
Administrative Agent shall within two Business Days of receiving a request of
the applicable Credit Party for release of cash proceeds constituting (A) net
insurance proceeds or net awards from the Collateral Account remit such cash
proceeds on deposit in the Collateral Account to or upon the order of such
Credit Party, so long as such Credit Party has satisfied the conditions relating
thereto set forth in subsection 12.2, (B) net cash proceeds from any sale or
other disposition of Collateral from the Collateral Account, remit such cash
proceeds on deposit in the Collateral Account, so long as such Credit Party has
satisfied the conditions relating thereto set forth in subsection 12.2 and (C)
with respect to the L/C Sub-Account at such time as all Letters of Credit shall
have been terminated and all of the liabilities in respect of the Letters of
Credit have been paid in full. At any time following the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may (and, if
instructed by the Lenders as specified herein, shall) in its (or their)
discretion apply or cause to be applied (subject to collection) the balance from
time to time outstanding to the credit of the Collateral Account to the payment
of the Obligations in the manner specified in subsection 12.3 hereof subject,
however, in the case of amounts deposited in the L/C Sub-Account, to the
provisions of subsection 12.1(d). The Credit Parties shall have no right to
withdraw, transfer or otherwise receive any fund deposited in the Collateral
Account except to the extent specifically provided herein.


<PAGE>
                                     -128-


         (c) Amounts on deposit in the Collateral Account shall be invested from
time to time in Cash Equivalents as the applicable Credit Party (or, after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative
Agent) shall determine, which Cash Equivalents shall be held in the name and be
under the control of the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent); provided that
at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, the Administrative Agent may (and, if instructed by the Lenders as
specified herein, shall) in its (or their) discretion at any time and from time
to time elect to liquidate any such Cash Equivalents and to apply or cause to be
applied the proceeds thereof to the payment of the Obligations in the manner
specified in subsection 12.3 hereof.

         (d) Amounts deposited into the Collateral Account as cover for
liabilities in respect of Letters of Credit under any provision of this
Agreement requiring such cover shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a
separate sub-account designated as the "L/C Sub-Account" (the "L/C Sub-Account")
and, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, all amounts
held in the L/C Sub-Account shall constitute collateral security first for the
liabilities in respect of Letters of Credit outstanding from time to time and
second as collateral security for the other Obligations hereunder until such
time as all Letters of Credit shall have been terminated and all of the
liabilities in respect of Letters of Credit have been paid in full.

         12.2. Proceeds of Destruction, Taking and Collateral Dispositions. (a)
So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in the
event there shall be any net award in respect of any Taking or net insurance
proceeds in respect of any Destruction or net cash proceeds from any sale or
disposition of Collateral of the type contemplated in subsection 8.5(h), the
applicable Credit Party shall have the right, at such Credit Party's option, to
apply such net award or net insurance proceeds within 270 days from the date of
the applicable Destruction or Taking (or, in the case of such disposition, to
apply such net cash proceeds within 270 days from the date of such disposition)
to reinvest in properties or assets owned (or to be owned) by Borrower or a
wholly owned Subsidiary of Borrower having a fair market value at least equal to
the amount of such net insurance proceeds or net awards or net cash proceeds, as
the case may be, in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement.
In the event such Credit Party elects so to reinvest such net insurance proceeds
or net awards or net cash proceeds, as the case may be, such Credit Party shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent (A) a written notice of such election and
(B) an Officers' Certificate stating that (1) the net insurance proceeds or net
awards, as the case may be, shall be utilized so to reinvest in Collateral in
the manner contemplated by the proviso set forth in clause (b) of the definition
of Net Proceeds, or the net cash proceeds shall be utilized so to reinvest in
Collateral in the manner contemplated by the proviso set forth in subsection
8.5(h), as the case may be, and (2) no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing (the items described in clauses (1) and (2) of this sentence,
collectively, the "Investment Election Notice"). Upon receipt of an Investment
Election Notice, the Administrative Agent shall release such net insurance
pro-


<PAGE>
                                     -129-

ceeds or net awards or net cash proceeds to such Credit Party in accordance with
the provisions of subsection 12.1(b) hereof.

         12.3. Application of Proceeds. The proceeds received by the
Administrative Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from or other
realization upon all or any part of the Collateral pursuant to the exercise by
the Administrative Agent of its remedies shall be applied, together with any
other sums then held by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement,
promptly by the Administrative Agent as follows:

         FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses, fees,
    commissions and taxes of such sale, collection or other realization
    including, without limitation, compensation to the Administrative Agent and
    its agents and counsel, and all expenses, liabilities and advances made or
    incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith, together with
    interest on each such amount at the highest rate then in effect under this
    Agreement from and after the date such amount is due, owing or unpaid until
    paid in full;

         SECOND, to the payment of all other reasonable costs and expenses of
    such sale, collection or other realization including, without limitation,
    compensation to the other Secured Parties and their agents and counsel and
    all costs, liabilities and advances made or incurred by the other Secured
    Parties in connection therewith, together with interest on each such amount
    at the highest rate then in effect under this Agreement from and after the
    date such amount is due, owing or unpaid until paid in full;

         THIRD, without duplication of amounts applied pursuant to clauses FIRST
    and SECOND above, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash, pro rata, of
    (i) interest, principal and other amounts constituting Obligations (other
    than the obligations arising under the Interest Rate Agreements) in each
    case equally and ratably in accordance with the respective amounts thereof
    then due and owing and (ii) the obligations arising under the Interest Rate
    Agreements in accordance with the terms of the Interest Rate Agreements; and

         FOURTH, the balance, if any, to the Person lawfully entitled thereto
    (including the applicable Credit Party or its successors or assigns).

         In the event that any such proceeds are insufficient to pay in full the
items described in clauses FIRST through THIRD of this subsection 12.3, the
Credit Parties shall remain liable for any deficiency.
