plus such Revolving Credit Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of
all Foreign Currency Fronting Loans shall not exceed such Revolving Credit
Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment, and (C) the Outstanding Amount of all
Foreign Currency Fronting Loans, plus the Outstanding Amount of all Revolving
Credit Loans that were made in a Foreign Currency shall not exceed the Foreign
Currency Sublimit; provided further, however, that on the Closing Date no new
Loans may be made as Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Within the limits of each
Revolving Credit Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment, and subject to the other
terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01(a),
prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.01(a). Revolving
Credit Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as further
provided herein.

      (b) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Term Loan
Lender severally agrees to make a portion of a term loan (the "Term Loan") to
the Borrower in Dollars on the Closing Date

                                       34
<PAGE>

in an amount of such Term Loan Lender's Term Loan Commitment. Amounts repaid or
prepaid on the Term Loan may not be reborrowed. The Term Loan may consist of
Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as further provided herein;
provided, however, that the funding of the Term Loan on the Closing Date shall
be made as a Base Rate Loan.

      2.02 BORROWINGS, CONVERSIONS AND CONTINUATIONS OF LOANS.

      (a) Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other,
and each continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made upon the
Borrower's irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by
telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not
later than (i) 9:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days (or five (5) Business Days in
the case of a Special Notice Currency) prior to the requested date of any
Borrowing or continuation of Foreign Currency Fronting Loans or Revolving Credit
Loans made in a Foreign Currency, (ii) 1:00 p.m. three (3) Business Days (or
five (5) Business Days in the case of a Special Notice Currency) prior to the
requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of
Eurocurrency Rate Loans (other than Eurocurrency Rate Loans made in a Foreign
Currency) or of any conversion of Eurocurrency Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans,
(iii) 1:00 p.m. one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of any
Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, and (iv) 11:00 a.m. on the requested date of any
Borrowing of Base Rate Loans the proceeds of which will be used to repay L/C
Borrowings. Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section
2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly (and in any event on the date of such
telephonic notice) by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Loan
Notice or Foreign Currency Fronting Loan Notice, as applicable, appropriately
completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each Borrowing
of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans (other than with
respect to a Foreign Currency Fronting Loan) shall be in a principal amount of
$2,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided
in Section 2.03(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be
in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess
thereof. Each Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i)
whether the Borrower is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one
Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (ii) the
requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be
(which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be
borrowed, converted or continued, which, in the case of a Revolving Credit Loan
to be made in a Foreign Currency, shall be in a minimum amount of $2,000,000,
(iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be
converted, (v) if applicable, the Foreign Currency in which such Loans are to be
made, and (vi) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect
thereto. If the Borrower fails to specify a currency in a Loan Notice requesting
a Borrowing, then the Loan so requested shall be made in Dollars. If the
Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Loan Notice or if the Borrower
fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the
applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans; provided,
however, that in the case of a failure to timely request a continuation of Loans
denominated in a Foreign Currency, such Loans shall be continued as Eurocurrency
Rate Loans in their original currency with an Interest Period of one month. Any
such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last
day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable
Eurocurrency Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to,
or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in any such Loan Notice, but fails to
specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest
Period of one month. No Loan may be converted into or continued as a Loan
denominated in a different currency, but instead must be prepaid in the original
currency of such Loan and reborrowed in the other currency.

      (b) Following receipt of a Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the amount (and currency) of its Pro
Rata Share of the applicable Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or
continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify
each Appropriate Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate
Loans or

                                       35
<PAGE>

continuation of Loans denominated in a currency other than Dollars, in each
case, described in the preceding subsection (a). In the case of a Borrowing,
each Appropriate Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the
Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the Administrative Agent's Office for
the applicable currency not later than 1:00 p.m., in the case of any Loan
denominated in Dollars, and not later than the Applicable Time specified by the
Administrative Agent in the case of any Loan in a Foreign Currency, in each case
on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction
of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.02, the Administrative Agent
shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as
received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the
Borrower on the books of Bank of America (or such other bank as may be the
Administrative Agent at such time) with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire
transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to
(and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower;
provided, however, that if, on the date the Loan Notice with respect to such
Borrowing is given by the Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then
the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied, first, to the payment in full
of any such L/C Borrowings, and second, to the Borrower, as provided above.

      (c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be
continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such
Eurocurrency Rate Loan. During the existence of a Default, no Loans may be
requested as, converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans (whether in
Dollars or any Foreign Currency) without the consent of the Required Lenders,
and the Required Lenders may demand that (i) any or all of the then outstanding
Eurocurrency Rate Loans be converted immediately to Base Rate Loans and (ii) any
or all of the then outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in a Foreign
Currency be prepaid, or redenominated into Dollars in the amount of the Dollar
Equivalent thereof, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with
respect thereto..

      (d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the
Appropriate Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for
Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The
determination of the Eurocurrency Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error. At any time that Base Rate Loans
are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the
Appropriate Lenders of any change in the prime rate of Bank of America (or such
other bank as may be the Administrative Agent at such time) used in determining
the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

      (e) After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from
one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there
shall not be more than ten (10) Interest Periods in effect with respect to the
Revolving Credit Loans and ten (10) Interest Periods in effect with respect to
the Term Loan.

      (f) The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as part of
any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any,
hereunder to make its Loan on the date of such Borrowing, 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 the date of any Borrowing.

      2.03 LETTERS OF CREDIT.

      (a) The Letter of Credit Commitment.

                  (i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the
            Existing Letters of Credit shall be continued as Letters of Credit
            governed by this Agreement and (A) the L/C Issuer agrees, in
            reliance upon the agreements of the other Revolving Credit Lenders

                                       36
<PAGE>

            set forth in this Section 2.03, (1) from time to time on any
            Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the
            Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit
            denominated in Dollars or in one or more Foreign Currencies for the
            account of the Borrower, and to amend Letters of Credit previously
            issued by it, in accordance with subsection (b) below, and (2) to
            honor drafts under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Revolving
            Credit Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit
            issued for the account of the Borrower; provided that after giving
            effect to any L/C Credit Extension, (x) the Revolving Credit
            Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Facility, (y) the
            aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any
            Revolving Credit Lender, plus such Revolving Credit Lender's Pro
            Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus
            such Revolving Credit Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding
            Amount of all Swing Line Loans plus such Revolving Credit Lender's
            Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Foreign Currency
            Fronting Loans shall not exceed such Lender's Revolving Credit
            Commitment, and (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations
            shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Within the foregoing
            limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the
            Borrower's ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully
            revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing
            period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that
            have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.

                  (ii) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue any
            Letter of Credit if:

                        (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental
                  Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin
                  or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit,
                  or any Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or
                  directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any
                  Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer
                  shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer refrain from,
                  the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of
                  Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with
                  respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or
                  capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise
                  compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or
                  shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost
                  or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and
                  which the L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it;

                        (B) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit
                  would occur more than twelve months after the date of
                  issuance, unless the Required Lenders have approved such
                  expiry date, it being understood that no such approval shall
                  be required for the issuance of any Letter of Credit that has
                  an expiry date of 12 months or less from the date of issuance,
                  but that includes provision for automatic renewal beyond such
                  12 month period;

                        (C) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit
                  would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless
                  all the Revolving Credit Lenders have approved such expiry
                  date;

                        (D) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate
                  one or more policies of the L/C Issuer;

                                       37
<PAGE>

                        (E) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative
                  Agent and the L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is to be
                  denominated in a currency other than Dollars, or a Foreign
                  Currency;

                        (F) the L/C Issuer does not as of the issuance date of
                  such requested Letter of Credit issue Letters of Credit in the
                  requested currency; or

                        (G) a default of any Revolving Credit Lender's
                  obligations to fund under Section 2.03(c) exists or any
                  Revolving Credit Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender
                  hereunder, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into satisfactory
                  arrangements with the Borrower or such Revolving Credit Lender
                  to eliminate the L/C Issuer's risk with respect to such
                  Revolving Credit Lender.

                  (iii) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any
            Letter of Credit if (A) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at
            such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under
            the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit
            does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

                  (iv) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of
            Credit Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute
            discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic
            extension provisions (each, an "Auto-Extension Letter of Credit");
            provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit
            the L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each
            twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such
            Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof
            not later than a day (the "Non-Extension Notice Date") in each such
            twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of
            Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the
            Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C
            Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of
            Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have
            authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the
            extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not
            later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however,
            that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the
            L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would
            have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in
            its revised (as extended) form under the terms hereof (by reason of
            the provisions clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or
            otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone
            or in writing) on or before the day that is five (5) Business Days
            before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative
            Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such
            extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any
            Loan Party that one or more of the applicable conditions specified
            in Section 5.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case
            directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

      (b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit.

                  (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the
            case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the L/C
            Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a
            Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by
            a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit
            Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and the
            Administrative Agent (A) not later than 1:00 p.m. at least three (3)
            Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date or date of
            amendment, as the case may be, of any Letter of Credit denominated
            in Dollars,

                                       38
<PAGE>

            and (B) not later than 1:00 p.m. at least ten (10) Business Days
            prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the
            case may be, of any Letter of Credit denominated in a Foreign
            Currency; or in each case such later date and time as the
            Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular
            instance in its sole discretion. In the case of a request for an
            initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit
            Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C
            Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of
            Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount and currency
            thereof and in the absence of specification of currency shall be
            deemed a request for a Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars; (C)
            the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary
            thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in
            case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate
            to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing
            thereunder; and (G) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may
            reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any
            outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application
            shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the L/C
            Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date
            of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature
            of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the L/C
            Issuer may reasonably require. Additionally, the Borrower shall
            furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other
            documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of
            Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the
            L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may require.

                  (ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit
            Application, the L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative
            Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has
            received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the
            Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative
            Agent with a copy thereof. Upon receipt by the L/C Issuer of
            confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested
            issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms
            hereof, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C
            Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for
            the account of the Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment,
            as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer's
            usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the
            issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Credit Lender
            shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
            agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such
            Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender's
            Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

                  (iii) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or
            any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect
            thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also
            deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and
            complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

                  (iv) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue or
            amend any Letter of Credit if the L/C Issuer has received written
            notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party,
            on or prior to the Business Day prior to the requested date of
            issuance or amendment of such Letter of Credit, that one or more
            applicable conditions contained in Article V shall not then be
            satisfied.

      (c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

                  (i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit
            of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C
            Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
            thereof. In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in a Foreign
            Currency, the Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer in such
            Foreign Currency, unless (A) the L/C Issuer (at its option) shall
            have specified in such notice that it will require reimbursement in
            Dollars, or (B) in the absence of any such requirement for
            reimbursement in Dollars, the Borrower shall have notified the L/C
            Issuer promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the
            Borrower will reimburse the L/C Issuer in Dollars. In the case of
            any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of
            Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency, the L/C Issuer shall
            notify the Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the
            drawing promptly following the determination thereof. Not later than
            1:00 p.m. on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a
            Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in Dollars if the L/C Issuer
            delivers notice of such payment by 11:00 a.m. on such day (or, if
            notice of such payment by the L/C Issuer is made after 11:00 a.m.,
            not later than 10:00 a.m. the next succeeding Business Day), or the
            Applicable Time on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a
            Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in a Foreign Currency (each such
            date, an "Honor Date"), the Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer
            through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of
            such drawing and in the applicable currency. If the Borrower fails
            to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative
            Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the
            Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (expressed in
            Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case
            of a Letter of Credit denominated in Foreign Currency) (the
            "Unreimbursed Amount"), and the Dollar Equivalent amount of such
            Lender's Pro Rata Share thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall
            be deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Borrowing in Dollars
            of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in a Dollar
            Equivalent amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard
            to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the
            principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of
            the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Facility and the
            conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (other than the delivery of a
            Loan Notice). Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the
            Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be
            given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided
            that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the
            conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

                  (ii) Each Revolving Credit Lender (including the Revolving
            Credit Lender acting as L/C Issuer) shall upon any notice pursuant
            to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative
            Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer at the Administrative
            Agent's Office in a Dollar Equivalent amount equal to its Pro Rata
            Share of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the
            Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent,
            whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each
            Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be
            deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan in Dollars under the Revolving
            Credit Facility to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative
            Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer in
            Dollars, or if requested by the L/C Issuer, the equivalent amount
            thereof in a Foreign Currency as determined by the Administrative
            Agent at such time on the basis of the Spot Rate (determined as of
            such funding date) for the purchase of such Foreign Currency with
            Dollars.

                  (iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not
            fully refinanced by a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans
            because the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 cannot be satisfied
            or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have
            incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the
            Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing
            shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and
            shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each
            Revolving Credit Lender's payment to the Administrative Agent for
            the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall
            be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C
            Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in
            satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section
            2.03.

                  (iv) Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Revolving
            Credit Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to
            reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of
            Credit, interest in respect of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of such
            amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.

                  (v) Each Revolving Credit Lender's obligation to make
            Revolving Credit Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer
            for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this
            Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not
            be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff,
            counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender
            may have against the L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person
            for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a
            Default; or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or
            not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each
            Revolving Credit Lender's obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans
            pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set
            forth in Section 5.02 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Loan
            Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise
            impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer
            for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any
            Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

                  (vi) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to
            the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any
            amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing
            provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section
            2.03(c)(ii), the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such
            Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such
            amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such
            payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately
            available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the
            applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate
            of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Credit Lender (through
            the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under
            this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

      (d) Repayment of Participations.

                  (i) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under
            any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Credit
            Lender such Revolving Credit Lender's L/C Advance in respect of such
            payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative
            Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in
            respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon
            (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds
            of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the

                                       41
<PAGE>


            Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to
            such Revolving Credit Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof
            (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to
            reflect the period of time during which such Lender's L/C Advance
            was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the
            Administrative Agent.

                  (ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for
            the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is
            required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in
            Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by
            the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender
            shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C
            Issuer its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative
            Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the
            date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum
            equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect.
            The obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders under this clause
            shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the
            termination of this Agreement.

      (e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the
L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C
Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid
strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances,
including the following:

                  (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of
            Credit, this Agreement, any other agreement or instrument relating
            thereto or any other Loan Document;

                  (ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense
            or other right that the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may have
            at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter
            of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such
            transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person,
            whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions
            contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or
            instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

                  (iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document
            presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged,
            fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement
            therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or
            delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in
            order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

                  (iv) any payment by the L/C Issuer to the beneficiary under
            such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate
            that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of
            Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of
            Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy,
            debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors,
            liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any
            beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including
            any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor
            Relief Law;

                  (v) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any collateral,
            or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure
            from the Guaranty or any other guarantee, for all or any of the
            Obligations of the Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit;

                                       42
<PAGE>

                  (vi) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in
            the availability of the relevant Foreign Currency to the Borrower or
            any Subsidiary or in the relevant currency markets generally; or

                  (vii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether
            or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other
            circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to,
            or a discharge of, the Borrower or any Subsidiary.

      The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and
each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of
noncompliance with the Borrower's instructions or other irregularity, the
Borrower will immediately notify the L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall be
conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its
correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

      (f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Revolving Credit Lender and the Borrower
agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall
not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft,
certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to
ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the
authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the
L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties,
nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C
Issuer shall be liable to any Revolving Credit Lender for (i) any action taken
or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the
Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted
in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due
execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or
instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower
hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or
transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however,
that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower's
pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or
transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, the
Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any of the
respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer, shall be
liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through
(v) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer,
and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the
extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages
suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by the L/C
Issuer's willfull misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer's willful
failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the
beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the
terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation
of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face
to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of
any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be
responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or
assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights
or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove
to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

      (g) Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if
the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter
of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of
the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any Letter of Credit may for any reason
remain outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, the Borrower shall
immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C
Obligations (in an amount equal to such Outstanding Amount determined as of the
date of such L/C Borrowing or the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, as the case
may be). The Administrative Agent may, at any time and from time to time after
the initial deposit of such Cash Collateral, request that additional Cash
Collateral be provided in order to

                                       43
<PAGE>

protect against the results of exchange rate fluctuations. For purposes hereof,
"Cash Collateralize" means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Revolving Credit
Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances
pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer (which documents are hereby consented to
by the Revolving Credit Lenders). Derivatives of such term have corresponding
meanings. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the
benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Revolving Credit Lenders, a security interest
in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of
the foregoing. Cash collateral shall be maintained in blocked, interest bearing
deposit accounts at Bank of America (or such other bank as may be the
Administrative Agent at such time). If at any time the Administrative Agent
determines that any funds held as Cash Collateral are subject to any right or
claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent or that the total amount
of such funds is less than the aggregate Outstanding Amount thereof, the
Borrower will, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the
Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited and held in the
deposit accounts at Bank of America (or such other bank as may be the
Administrative Agent at such time) as aforesaid, an amount equal to the excess
of (a) such aggregate Outstanding Amount over (b) the total amount of funds, if
any, then held as Cash Collateral that the Administrative Agent determines to be
free and clear of any such right and claim. Upon the drawing of any Letter of
Credit for which funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be
applied, to the extent permitted under applicable law, to reimburse the L/C
Issuer. So long as no Default has occurred and is continuing and no Obligations
of the Borrower or any Loan Party that are due and payable remain unpaid, if any
amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have
either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be returned to
the Borrower.

      (h) Applicability of ISP98 and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by
the L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules
of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of
the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently
published by the International Chamber of Commerce (the "ICC") at the time of
issuance (including the ICC decision published by the Commission on Banking
Technique and Practice on April 6, 1998 regarding the European single currency
(euro)) shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

      (i) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Pro
Rata Share, in Dollars, a Letter of Credit fee for each Letter of Credit equal
to the Applicable Rate times the daily maximum amount available to be drawn
under such Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in
effect under such Letter of Credit). Such letter of credit fees shall be
computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such letter of credit fees shall be
due and payable on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and
December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of
such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on
demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the
daily maximum amount of each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied
by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such
Applicable Rate was in effect.

      (j) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C
Issuer. The Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account,
in Dollars, a letter of credit fee for each Letter of Credit issued by the L/C
Issuer equal to 0.20% per annum times the daily maximum amount available to be
drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in
effect under such Letter of Credit). Such letter of credit fees shall be
computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such letter of credit fees shall be
due and payable on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and
December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of
such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on
demand.

      (k) Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. In the event of any
conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit
Application, the terms hereof shall control.

      2.04 SWING LINE LOANS AND FOREIGN CURRENCY FRONTING LOANS.

      (a) Swing Line Loans.

                  (i) The Swing Line Facility. Subject to the terms and
            conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees to make
            loans (each such loan, a "Swing Line Loan") to the Borrower in
            Dollars from time to time on any Business Day during the
            Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time
            outstanding, the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding
            the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Pro
            Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of Loans (other than Swing Line
            Loans) and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as a Swing Line
            Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender's Revolving Credit
            Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing
            Line Loan, (1) the Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed
            the Revolving Credit Facility, and (2) the aggregate Outstanding
            Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Revolving Credit Lender,
            plus such Revolving Credit Lender's Pro Rata Share of the
            Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Revolving
            Credit Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all
            Swing Line Loans plus such Revolving Credit Lender's Pro Rata Share
            of the Outstanding Amount of all Foreign Currency Fronting Loan
            shall not exceed such Revolving Credit Lender's Revolving Credit
            Commitment, and provided, further, that the Borrower shall not use
            the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding
            Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the
            other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under
            this Section 2.04(a), prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under
            this Section 2.04(a). Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate
            Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each
            Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably
            and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a
            risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the
            product of such Lender's Pro Rata Share times the amount of such
            Swing Line Loan.

                  (ii) Borrowing Procedures. Each Borrowing of Swing Loans shall
            be made upon the Borrower's irrevocable notice to the Swing Line
            Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by
            telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line
            Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the
            requested borrowing date, and shall specify (A) the amount to be
            borrowed, which shall be a minimum of principal amount of $250,000
            and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof and (B) the
            requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such
            telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the
            Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing
            Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a
            Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the
            Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the
            Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by
            telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also
            received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line
            Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in
            writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has
            received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative
            Agent (including at the request of any Revolving Credit Lender)
            prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing
            (1) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan
            as a result of the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first
            sentence of Section 2.04(a)(i), or (2) that one or more of the
            applicable conditions specified in Article V is not then satisfied,
            then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line

                                       45

            Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date
            specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its
            Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower.

                  (iii) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.

                  (A) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute
            discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby
            irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its
            behalf), that each Revolving Credit Lender make a Revolving Loan
            that is a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender's Pro
            Rata Share of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such
            request shall be made in writing and in accordance with the
            requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and
            multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate
            Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit
            Facility and the conditions set forth in Section 5.02. The Swing
            Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable
            Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the
            Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall make an
            amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount specified in such
            Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately
            available funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the
            Administrative Agent's Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day
            specified in such Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section
            2.04(a)(iii)(B), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds
            available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the
            Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the
            funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

                  (B) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced
            by such a Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(a)(iii)(A), the
            request for Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as
            set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line
            Lender that each of the Revolving Credit Lenders fund its risk
            participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Revolving
            Credit Lender's payment to the Administrative Agent for the account
            of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(a)(iii) shall be
            deemed payment in respect of such participation.

                  (C) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to
            the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender
            any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the
            foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(a)(iii) by the time
            specified in Section 2.04(a)(iii)(A), the Swing Line Lender shall be
            entitled to recover from such Revolving Credit Lender (acting
            through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with
            interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is
            required to the date on which such payment is immediately available
            to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the applicable
            Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the
            Swing Line Lender submitted to any Revolving Credit Lender (through
            the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under
            this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

                  (D) Each Revolving Credit Lender's obligation to make
            Revolving Credit Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations
            in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(a)(iii) shall be
            absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
            circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment,
            defense or other right which such Revolving Credit Lender may have
            against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for
            any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a
            Default or Event of Default, (C) non-compliance with the conditions
            set forth in Section 5.02 or (D) any other occurrence, event or
            condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. No such
            purchase or funding of risk participations shall relieve or
            otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swing Line
            Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

                                       46
<PAGE>

                  (iv) Repayment of Participations.

                        (A) At any time after any Revolving Credit Lender has
            purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if
            the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing
            Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Revolving
            Credit Lender its Pro Rata Share of such payment (appropriately
            adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of
            time during which such Revolving Credit Lender's risk participation
            was funded) in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line
            Lender.

                        (B) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in
            respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required
            to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the
            circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any
            settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion),
            each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its
            Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus
            interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such
            amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable
            Overnight Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon
            the request of the Swing Line Lender.

                  (v) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line
            Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest
            on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds
            its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section
            2.04(a) to refinance such Lender's Pro Rata Share of any Swing Line
            Loan, interest in respect of such Pro Rata Share shall be solely for
            the account of the Swing Line Lender.

                  (vi) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrower
            shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the
            Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

      (b) Foreign Currency Fronting Loans.

                  (i) The Foreign Currency Fronting Facility. Subject to the
            terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) the Existing Foreign
            Currency Fronting Loans shall be continued as Foreign Currency
            Fronting Loans governed by this Agreement and (B) the Foreign
            Currency Fronting Lender agrees to make loans (each such loan, a
            "Foreign Currency Fronting Loan") to the Borrower from time to time
            on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate
            amount for all such Foreign Currency Fronting Loans not in excess of
            $10,000,000 and not to exceed at any time outstanding, together with
            the Outstanding Amount of all Revolving Credit Loans that were
            denominated in a Foreign Currency, the amount of the Foreign
            Currency Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Foreign
            Currency Fronting Loans, when aggregated with the Pro Rata Share of
            the Outstanding Amount of Loans (other than Foreign Currency
            Fronting Loans) and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Foreign
            Currency Fronting Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender's
            Revolving Credit Commitment; provided, however, that after giving
            effect to any Foreign Currency Fronting Loan, (1) the Revolving
            Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Facility,
            and (2) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit
            Loans of any Revolving Credit Lender, plus such Lender's Pro Rata
            Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such
            Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line
            Loans plus such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of
            all Foreign Currency Fronting Loans shall not exceed such Lender's
            Revolving Credit Commitment. Within the foregoing limits, and
            subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may
            borrow under this Section 2.04(b), prepay under Section 2.05, and
            reborrow under this Section 2.04(b). Each Foreign Currency Fronting
            Loan

                                       47
<PAGE>

            shall be a Eurocurrency Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making of a
            Foreign Currency Fronting Loan, each Revolving Credit Lender shall
            be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to,
            purchase from the Foreign Currency Fronting Lender a risk
            participation in such Foreign Currency Fronting Loan in an amount
            equal to the product of such Lender's Pro Rata Share times the
            amount of such Foreign Currency Fronting Loan.

                  (ii) Borrowing Procedures. Each Foreign Currency Fronting
            Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower's irrevocable notice to
            the Foreign Currency Fronting Lender and the Administrative Agent,
            which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received
            by the Foreign Currency Fronting Lender and the Administrative Agent
            not later than 9:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days prior to the
            requested borrowing date, and shall specify (A) the amount to be
            borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000, (B) the requested
            borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day and (C) the Foreign
            Currency in which such borrowing is to be made. Each such telephonic
            notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Foreign
            Currency Fronting Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written
            Foreign Currency Fronting Loan Notice, appropriately completed and
            signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Promptly after
            receipt by the Foreign Currency Fronting Lender of any telephonic
            Foreign Currency Fronting Loan Notice, the Foreign Currency Fronting
            Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or
            in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such
            Foreign Currency Fronting Loan Notice and, if not, the Foreign
            Currency Fronting Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by
            telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Foreign
            Currency Fronting Lender has received notice (by telephone or in
            writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of
            any Revolving Credit Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the
            proposed Foreign Currency Fronting Borrowing (1) directing the
            Foreign Currency Fronting Lender not to make such Foreign Currency
            Fronting Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the
            proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(b)(i), or (2) that one
            or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article V is not
            then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof,
            the Foreign Currency Fronting Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m.
            on the borrowing date specified in such Foreign Currency Fronting
            Loan Notice, make the amount of its Foreign Currency Fronting Loan
            available to the Borrower at its office by crediting the account of
            the Borrower on the books of the Foreign Currency Fronting Lender in
            Same Day Funds.

                  (iii) Refinancing of Foreign Currency Fronting Loans.

                        (A) The Foreign Currency Fronting Lender at any time in
                  its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the
                  Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Foreign
                  Currency Fronting Lender to so request on its behalf), that
                  each Revolving Credit Lender make a Eurocurrency Rate Loan in
                  an amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the amount
                  of Foreign Currency Fronting Loans then outstanding. Such
                  request shall be made in writing and in accordance with the
                  requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum
                  and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of
                  Eurocurrency Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion
                  of the Revolving Credit Facility and the conditions set forth
                  in Section 5.02. The Foreign Currency Fronting Lender shall
                  furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Loan Notice
                  promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative
                  Agent. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall make an amount equal
                  to its Pro Rata Share of the amount specified in such Loan
                  Notice available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds
                  for the account of the Foreign Currency Fronting Lender at the
                  Administrative Agent's Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the
                  day specified in such Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to
                  Section 2.04(b)(iii)(A), each Revolving Credit Lender that

                                       48
<PAGE>

                  so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a
                  Eurocurrency Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The
                  Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the
                  Foreign Currency Fronting Lender.

                        (B) If for any reason any Foreign Currency Fronting Loan
                  cannot be refinanced by such a Borrowing in accordance with
                  Section 2.04(b)(iii)(A), the request for Eurocurrency Rate
                  Loans submitted by the Foreign Currency Fronting Lender as set
                  forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Foreign
                  Currency Fronting Lender that each of the Revolving Credit
                  Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Foreign
                  Currency Fronting Loan and each Revolving Credit Lender's
                  payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
                  Foreign Currency Fronting Lender pursuant to Section
                  2.04(b)(iii)(A) shall be deemed payment in respect of such
                  participation.

                        (C) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make
                  available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
                  Foreign Currency Fronting Lender any amount required to be
                  paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of
                  this Section 2.04(b)(iii) by the time specified in Section
                  2.04(b)(iii)(A), the Foreign Currency Fronting Lender shall be
                  entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the
                  Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest
                  thereon for the period from the date such payment is required
                  to the date on which such payment is immediately available to
                  the Foreign Currency Fronting Lender at a rate per annum equal
                  to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect.
                  A certificate of the Foreign Currency Fronting Lender
                  submitted to any Revolving Credit Lender (through the
                  Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under
                  this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

                        (D) Each Revolving Credit Lender's obligation to make
                  Revolving Credit Loans or to purchase and fund risk
                  participations in Foreign Currency Fronting Loans pursuant to
                  this Section 2.04(b)(iii) shall be absolute and unconditional
                  and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A)
                  any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right
                  which such Revolving Credit Lender may have against the
                  Foreign Currency Fronting Lender, the Borrower or any other
                  Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or
                  continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event
                  or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing;
                  provided, however, that each Revolving Credit Lender's
                  obligation to make Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is
                  subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.02. No such
                  funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise
                  impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Foreign
                  Currency Fronting Loans, together with interest as provided
                  herein.

                  (iv) Repayment of Participations.

                        (A) At any time after any Revolving Credit Lender has
                  purchased and funded a risk participation in a Foreign
                  Currency Fronting Loan, if the Foreign Currency Fronting
                  Lender receives any payment on account of such Foreign
                  Currency Fronting Loan, the Foreign Currency Fronting Lender
                  will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share of such
                  payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest
                  payments, to reflect the period of time during which such
                  Revolving Credit Lender's risk participation was funded) in
                  the same funds as those received by the Foreign Currency
                  Fronting Lender.

                        (B) If any payment received by the Foreign Currency
                  Fronting Lender in respect of principal or interest on any
                  Foreign Currency Fronting Loan is required to be

                                       49
<PAGE>

                  returned by the Foreign Currency Fronting Lender under any of
                  the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including
                  pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Foreign
                  Currency Fronting Lender in its discretion), each Revolving
                  Credit Lender shall pay to the Foreign Currency Fronting
                  Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the
                  Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of
                  such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per
                  annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate. The
                  Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of
                  the Foreign Currency Fronting Lender.

                  (v) Interest for Account of Foreign Currency Fronting Lender.
            The Foreign Currency Fronting Lender shall be responsible for
            invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Foreign Currency Fronting
            Loans. Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Eurocurrency
            Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to
            refinance such Lender's Pro Rata Share of any Foreign Currency
            Fronting Loan, interest in respect of such Pro Rata Share shall be
            solely for the account of the Foreign Currency Fronting Lender.

                  (vi) Payments Directly to Foreign Currency Fronting Lender.
            The Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in
            respect of the Foreign Currency Fronting Loans directly to the
            Foreign Currency Fronting Lender.

      2.05 VOLUNTARY PREPAYMENTS.

      The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or
from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium
or penalty; provided that (a) such notice must be received by the Administrative
Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (i) three Business Days prior to any date of
prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, (ii) four Business
Days (or five, in the case of prepayment of Loans denominated in Special Notice
Currencies) prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans
denominated in Foreign Currencies, and (iii) one Business Day prior to any date
of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (b) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans
shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in
excess thereof; (c) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal
amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each
case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding; and (d) any
prepayment of the Term Loan shall be applied ratably to the remaining principal
amortization payments thereunder. Each such notice shall specify the date and
amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and whether the
Loans to be prepaid are Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Line Loans or Foreign
Currency Fronting Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each
Appropriate Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such
Lender's Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the
Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount
specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.
Any prepayment of a Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon,
together with, in the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, any additional amounts
required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the
Loans of the Appropriate Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata
Shares.

      2.06 MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS.

      (a) The Borrower shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business
Days) upon receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds by the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries from (i) the Disposition of any assets of the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries (other than any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of
assets pursuant to clause (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (g) of Section 8.05)
for an aggregate amount of $25,000,000 or more after the Closing Date, (ii) the
incurrence or issuance by the Borrower or

                                       50
<PAGE>

any of its Subsidiaries of any Indebtedness (including Indebtedness incurred
under Section 8.03(d)) (other than Indebtedness incurred or issued pursuant to
clause (a), (b), (c), (e), (f), (g), (h), (i), (j), (k), (m), (n) or (o) of
Section 8.03), (iii) the sale or issuance by the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries of any Equity Interests (including, without limitation, receipt of
any capital contribution) (other than Net Cash Proceeds received from (x) the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or (y) purchases of stock and exercise of
options by employees of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to
employee benefit plans in an aggregate amount not to exceed $25,000,000 in any
Fiscal Year and in any event excluding any issuance of Indebtedness convertible
into Equity Interests and any subsequent conversion of such Indebtedness into
Equity Interests) and (iv) any Extraordinary Receipt received by or paid to or
for the account of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in an aggregate
amount of $7,500,000 or more in any Fiscal Year and not otherwise included in

Loans and Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an amount equal to (x) in
the case of clauses (i), (ii) and (iv) above, 100% of the amount of such Net
Cash Proceeds and (y) in the case of clause (iii) above, 50% of the amount of
such Net Cash Proceeds. Each such prepayment shall be applied first to the Term
Loan (applied ratably to the remaining principal amortization payments thereof)
and then (after the Term Loan has been paid in full) to the Revolving Credit
Facility as set forth in clause (d) below; provided that (x) Net Cash Proceeds
received from Indebtedness incurred pursuant to clause (p) of Section 8.03 shall
be applied to the Term Loan only (applied ratably to the remaining principal
amortization payments thereof) and (y) with respect to any Net Cash Proceeds
realized (I) under a Disposition described in clause (i) above or (II) proceeds
of insurance described in clause (iv) above, at the option of the Borrower (as
elected by the Borrower in writing to the Administrative Agent on or prior to
the date of such Disposition or the receipt of such insurance proceeds), and so
long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
the Borrower may reinvest all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in
operating assets used in the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries so
long as (A) within 180 days following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, a
definitive agreement for the purchase of such assets with such proceeds shall
have been entered into (as certified by the Borrower in writing to the
Administrative Agent) and (B) within 360 days after the receipt of such Net Cash
Proceeds, such purchase shall have been consummated (as certified by the
Borrower in writing to the Administrative Agent); provided further, however,
that any Net Cash Proceeds not subject to such definitive agreement or so
reinvested shall be immediately applied to the prepayment of the Loans as set
forth above. Furthermore, within 90 days after the end of each Fiscal Year
commencing with the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2005, the Borrower shall, if
the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio as of the end of such Fiscal Year is
greater than 2.75 to 1.0, first prepay the Term Loan (applied ratably to the
remaining principal amortization payments thereof) and then (after the Term Loan
has been paid in full) to the Revolving Credit Facility as set forth in clause
(d) below, in an amount equal to 50% of Excess Cash Flow for such Fiscal Year.

      (b) If for any reason the Revolving Credit Outstandings at any time exceed
the Revolving Credit Facility then in effect, the Borrower shall immediately
prepay Revolving Credit Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in
an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided, however, that the Borrower
shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this
Section 2.06(b) unless after the prepayment in full of the Revolving Credit
Loans, the Swing Line Loans and Foreign Currency Fronting Loans the Revolving
Credit Outstandings exceed the Revolving Credit Facility then in effect.

      (c) The Borrower shall, on each Business Day, Cash Collateralize the L/C
Obligations in an amount equal to the amount by which the L/C Obligations
exceeds the Letter of Credit Sublimit on such Business Day.

      (d) Prepayments of the Revolving Credit Facility made pursuant to clause
(a) or (b) above shall be first applied to prepay L/C Advances then outstanding
until such L/C Advances are paid in full, and second applied to prepay Revolving
Credit Loans then outstanding comprising part of the same

                                       51
<PAGE>

Borrowings until such Loans are paid in full and third applied to Cash
Collateralize 100% of the L/C Obligations; and, in the case of prepayments of
the Revolving Credit Facility required pursuant to clause (a) above, the amount
remaining (if any) after the prepayment in full of the Loans then outstanding
and the Cash Collateralization of 100% of the L/C Obligations (the sum of such
prepayment amounts, Cash Collateralization amounts and remaining amount being
referred to herein as the "Reduction Amount") may be retained by the Borrower
and the Revolving Credit Facility shall be permanently reduced as set forth in
Section 2.07(e). Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit that has been Cash
Collateralized, such funds shall be applied to reimburse the L/C Issuer or
Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable.

      (e) If as of any Determination Date (i) the Dollar Equivalent of the
Revolving Credit Outstandings exceeds the Revolving Credit Facility then in
effect, (ii) the Dollar Equivalent of the sum of (A) all Foreign Currency
Fronting Loans and (B) the Outstanding Amount of all Revolving Credit Loans
denominated in a Foreign Currency exceeds the Foreign Currency Sublimit then in
effect or (iii) the Dollar Equivalent of all L/C Obligations exceeds the Letter
of Credit Sublimit, in each case, the Borrower shall, on such Determination
Date, prepay Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Foreign Currencies, prepay
Foreign Currency Fronting Loans and/or Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit
denominated in a Foreign Currency in an aggregate amount equal to such excess;
provided that to the extent that the Borrower has a Swap Contract with a
counterparty reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent for the Foreign
Currency of such Revolving Credit Loan, Foreign Currency Fronting Loan or Letter
of Credit, such Swap Contract shall be considered in making the calculation in
this clause (e).

      (f) Within the parameters of the applications set forth above, prepayments
shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans and then to Eurocurrency Rate Loans in
direct order of Interest Period maturities. All prepayments under this Section
2.06 shall be made together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment
on the principal amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required
to Section 3.05.

      2.07 TERMINATION OR REDUCTION OF COMMITMENTS.

      (a) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate
unused amounts of the Revolving Credit Facility, or from time to time
permanently reduce the unused portions of the Revolving Credit Facility;
provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent
not later than 1:00 p.m. two Business Days prior to the date of termination or
reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of
$2,000,000 or any whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, (iii) the
Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Credit Facility if, after
giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Revolving
Credit Outstandings would exceed the Revolving Credit Facility, and (iv) if,
after giving effect to any reduction of the Revolving Credit Facility, the
Letter of Credit Sublimit, the Swing Line Sublimit or the Foreign Currency
Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility, such Letter of
Credit Sublimit, Swing Line Sublimit or Foreign Currency Sublimit shall be
automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. The Administrative Agent
will promptly notify the Appropriate Lenders of any such notice of termination
or reduction of the Revolving Credit Facility. Any reduction of the Revolving
Credit Facility shall be applied to the Commitment of each Appropriate Lender
according to its Pro Rata Share. All commitment fees accrued until the effective
date of any termination of the Revolving Credit Facility shall be paid on the
effective date of such termination.

      (b) The Letter of Credit Sublimit shall be permanently reduced from time
to time on the date of each reduction in the Revolving Credit Facility by the
amount, if any, by which the amount of the Letter of Credit Sublimit exceeds the
Revolving Credit Facility after giving effect to such reduction of the Revolving
Credit Facility.

                                       52
<PAGE>

      (c) The Swing Line Sublimit shall be permanently reduced from time to time
on the date of each reduction in the Revolving Credit Facility by the amount, if
any, by which the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the Revolving Credit
Facility after giving effect to such reduction of the Revolving Credit Facility.

      (d) The Foreign Currency Sublimit shall be permanently reduced from time
to time on the date of each reduction in the Revolving Credit Facility by the
amount, if any, by which the amount of the Foreign Currency Sublimit exceeds the
Revolving Credit Facility after giving effect to such reduction of the Revolving
Credit Facility.

      (e) The Revolving Credit Facility shall be automatically and permanently
reduced, on a pro rata basis, on each date on which prepayment thereof is
required to be made pursuant to Section 2.06(a) in an amount equal to the
applicable Reduction Amount, provided that each such reduction of the Revolving
Credit Facility shall be made ratably among the Revolving Credit Lenders in
accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitments.

      2.08 REPAYMENT OF LOANS.

      (a) Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative
Agent for the ratable account of the Revolving Credit Lenders on the Maturity
Date the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans then
outstanding.

      (b) Term Loan. The Borrower shall repay the outstanding principal amount
of the Term Loan in installments on the dates and in the amounts set forth in
the table below (as such installments may hereafter be adjusted as a result of
prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.05 or Section 2.06), unless accelerated
sooner pursuant to Section 9.02:

      2.09 INTEREST.

      (a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each
Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount
thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency
Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate plus (in the case of a
Eurocurrency Rate Loan of any Lender which is lent from a Lending Office in the
United Kingdom or a Participating Member State) the Mandatory Cost; (ii) each
Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof
from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate
plus the Applicable Rate; (iii) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the
outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a
rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate and (iv) each
Foreign Currency Fronting Loan of any Lender which is lent from a Lending Office
in the United Kingdom or a Participating Member State shall bear interest on the
outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per
annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the
Applicable Rate plus the Mandatory Cost.

      (b) If any amount payable by the Borrower under any Loan Document is not
paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at
stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear
interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the
Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Furthermore,
while any Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall pay interest on the amount
of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per
annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including
interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

      (c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each
Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be
specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with
the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the
commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

      2.10 FEES.

      In addition to certain fees described in subsections (i) and (j) of
Section 2.03:

            (a) Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative
      Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with
      its Pro Rata Share, a commitment fee in Dollars equal to 0.50% per annum
      times the actual daily amount by which the Revolving Credit Facility
      exceeds the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans
      and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations; provided, however,
      that no commitment fee shall accrue on the Revolving Credit Commitment of
      a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.
      The commitment fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability
      Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions
      in Article V is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears
      on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December,
      commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and
      on the Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit Facility. The commitment fee
      shall be calculated in arrears. For purposes hereof, Swing Line Loans and
      Foreign Currency Fronting Loans shall not be counted toward or be
      considered as usage of the Revolving Credit Facility.

                                       54
<PAGE>

            (b) Other Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent
      for its own account fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the
      Administrative Agent Fee Letter. The Borrower shall pay to the
      Administrative Agent, BAS, Lehman Commercial Paper Inc. and Lehman
      Brothers Inc. for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and at
      the times specified in the Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned
      when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

      2.11 COMPUTATION OF INTEREST AND FEES.

      All computations of interest for Foreign Currency Fronting Loans and for
Base Rate Loans and when the Base Rate is determined by the prime rate of Bank
of America (or such other bank as may be the Administrative Agent at such time)
shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and
actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made
on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more
fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a
365-day year), or, in the case of interest in respect of Loans denominated in
Foreign Currencies as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in
accordance with such market practice. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the
day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion
thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that
any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to
Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the
Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive
and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

      2.12 EVIDENCE OF DEBT.

      (a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or
more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative
Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by
the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest
error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower
and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in
doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the
Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In
the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any
Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of
such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control
in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Appropriate Lender
made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to
such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) (i) in the case of Revolving
Credit Loans, a Revolving Credit Note and (ii) in the case of the Term Loan, a
Term Note which shall evidence such Appropriate Lender's Loans in addition to
such accounts or records. Each Appropriate Lender may attach schedules to its
Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of
its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

      (b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a),
each Revolving Credit Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in
accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases
and sales by such Revolving Credit Lender of participations in Letters of
Credit, Swing Line Loans and Foreign Currency Fronting Loans. In the event of
any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative
Agent and the accounts and records of any Revolving Credit Lender in respect of
such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control
in the absence of manifest error.

      (c) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register
pursuant to subsection (b) above, and by each Lender in its account or accounts
pursuant to subsection (a) above, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of
principal and interest due and payable or to become due

                                       55
<PAGE>

and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and,
in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, absent manifest error; provided that the failure of
the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an
entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit
or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents.

      2.13 PAYMENTS GENERALLY; ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT'S CLAWBACK.

      (a) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without
condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower
hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the
respective Appropriate Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the
Administrative Agent's Office in Dollars, or, with respect to Revolving Credit
Loans made in a Foreign Currency and Foreign Currency Fronting Loans, the
applicable Foreign Currency and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on
the date specified herein. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all
payments by the Borrower hereunder with respect to principal and interest on
Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency shall be made to the Administrative
Agent, for the account of the respective Revolving Credit Lenders to which such
payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent's Office in such Foreign
Currency and in Same Day Funds not later than the Applicable Time specified by
the Administrative Agent on the dates specified herein. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may require that any
payments due under this Agreement be made in the United States. If, for any
reason, the Borrower is prohibited by any Law from making any required payment
hereunder in a Foreign Currency, the Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars
in the Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency payment amount. The
Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Appropriate Lender its Pro
Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in
like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender's Lending Office. All
payments received by the Administrative Agent (i) after 2:00 p.m. in the case of
payments in Dollars, or (ii) after the Applicable Time specified by the
Administrative Agent in the case of payments in a Foreign Currency, shall in
each case be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any
applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

      (b) If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day
other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business
Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or
fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause
payment of interest on or principal of Eurocurrency Rate Loans to be made in the
next succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately
preceding Business Day.

      (c) Unless the Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative
Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the
Administrative Agent hereunder, that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case
may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the
Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and
may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a
corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that
such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds,
then:

            (i) if the Borrower failed to make such payment, each Appropriate
      Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the
      portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in
      Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from
      and including the date such amount was made available by the
      Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to
      the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the applicable Overnight
      Rate from time to time in effect; and

                                       56
<PAGE>

            (ii) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall
      forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in
      Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the
      date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the
      Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent
      (the "Compensation Period") at a rate per annum equal to the applicable
      Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. If such Lender pays such
      amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such
      Lender's Loan included in the applicable Borrowing. If such Lender does
      not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent's demand
      therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon the
      Borrower, and the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative
      Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a
      rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable
      Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Appropriate
      Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any
      rights which the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any
      Appropriate Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

      A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with
respect to any amount owing under this subsection (c) shall be conclusive,
absent manifest error.

      (d) If any Appropriate Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent
funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing
provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the
Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable
Credit Extension set forth in Article V are not satisfied or waived in
accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such
funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without
interest.

      (e) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to fund
participations in Letters of Credit, Swing Line Loans and Foreign Currency
Fronting Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 11.04(c) are several and
not joint. The failure of any Appropriate Lender to make any Loan, to fund any
such participation or to make any payment under Section 11.04(c) on any date
required hereunder shall not relieve any other Appropriate Lender of its
corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Appropriate Lender shall
be responsible for the failure of any other Appropriate Lender to so make its
Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section
11.04(c).

      (f) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the
funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a
representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for
any Loan in any particular place or manner.

      2.14 SHARING OF PAYMENTS BY LENDERS.

      If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall
obtain on account of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C
Obligations, Swing Line Loans or in Foreign Currency Fronting Loans held by it
(excluding any amounts applied by the Swing Line Lender to outstanding Swing
Line Loans or by the Foreign Currency Fronting Lender to outstanding Foreign
Currency Fronting Loans), any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through
the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable
share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall
immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase
from the other Appropriate Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them
and/or such subparticipations in the participations in L/C Obligations, Swing
Line Loans or Foreign Currency Fronting Loans held by them, as the case may be,
as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess
payment in

                                       57
<PAGE>

respect of such Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with
each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess
payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the
circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement
entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to
that extent be rescinded and each other Appropriate Lender shall repay to the
purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount
equal to such paying Lender's ratable share (according to the proportion of (i)
the amount of such paying Lender's required repayment to (ii) the total amount
so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or
payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered,
without further interest thereon. The Borrower agrees that any Appropriate
Lender so purchasing a participation from another Appropriate Lender may, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including
the right of setoff, but subject to Section 11.08) with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the
Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep
records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error)
of participations purchased under this Section and will in each case notify the
Appropriate Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that
purchases a participation pursuant to this Section shall from and after such
purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and
other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the
Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were
the original owner of the Obligations purchased.

      2.15 FOREIGN CURRENCY BORROWINGS.

      (a) Determination of Dollar Equivalents. The Administrative Agent will
determine the Dollar Equivalent amount on each of the following dates: (a) the
date a Request for Credit Extension is delivered to the Administrative Agent
with respect to each Credit Extension issued or advanced that results in such
Outstanding Amount denominated in a Foreign Currency, (b) each date on which any
such Outstanding Amount is due, (c) any Interest Payment Date applicable
thereto, (d) the Honor Date with respect to any Letter of Credit denominated in
a Foreign Currency, (e) each date of an amendment of any such Letter of Credit
denominated in a Foreign Currency having the effect of increasing the amount
thereof, (f) any date on which an L/C Borrowing is deemed to have been made with
respect to a Letter of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency, and (g) any
additional and more frequent dates as the Administrative Agent in its sole
discretion may, or at the direction of the Required Lenders shall, select from
time to time (each such date under clauses (a) through (g), being a
"Determination Date").

      (b) Notification of Availability. If on any date on which a Foreign
Currency Fronting Loan or a Revolving Credit Loan made in a Foreign Currency is
requested to be made or continued, in the event that the Foreign Currency
requested or elected by the Borrower to be continued is not available to the
Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower no
later than 3:00 p.m., three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Borrowing or
proposed continuation.

      (c) Consequences of Non-Availability. If the Administrative Agent notifies
the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.15(b) that the Foreign Currency requested or
elected by the Borrower to be continued is not available, such notification
shall (i) in the case of any request for a Borrowing, revoke such request and
(ii) in the case of any continuation or conversion, result in the Eurocurrency
Rate Loans denominated in such Foreign Currency being automatically converted
into Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars for a one month Interest
Period on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect to such
Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in such Foreign Currency.

      (d) Automatic Conversions. During the existence of an Event of Default,
all outstanding Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency shall be redenominated
and converted into their Dollar

                                       58
<PAGE>

Equivalent of Base Rate Loans in Dollars on the last day of the Interest Period
applicable to any such Loans.

      2.16 DEFAULTING LENDERS.

      (a) In the event that, at any one time, (i) any Lender shall be a
Defaulting Lender, (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall owe a Defaulted Amount to
the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender, the Foreign
Currency Fronting Lender or any of the other Lenders and (iii) the Borrower
shall make any payment hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender, then the
Administrative Agent may, on its behalf or on behalf of the L/C Issuer, the
Swing Line Lender, the Foreign Currency Fronting Lender or such other Lender and
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, apply at such time the amount
so paid by the Borrower to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender to the
payment of each such Defaulted Amount to the extent required to pay such
Defaulted Amount. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall so apply any
such amount to the payment of any such Defaulted Amount on any date, the amount
so applied by the Administrative Agent shall constitute for all purposes of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents payment, to such extent, of such
Defaulted Amount on such date. Any such amount so applied by the Administrative
Agent shall be retained by the Administrative Agent or distributed by the
Administrative Agent to such the L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender, the Foreign
Currency Fronting Lender and the other Lenders, ratably in accordance with the
respective portions of such Defaulted Amounts payable at such time to the
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender, the Foreign
Currency Fronting Lender and the other Lenders and, if the amount of such
payment made by the Borrower shall at such time be insufficient to pay all
Defaulted Amounts owing at such time to the Administrative Agent, the L/C
Issuer, the Swing Line Lender, the Foreign Currency Fronting Lender and the
other Lenders, in the following order of priority:

            (i) first, to the Administrative Agent for any Defaulted Amount then
      owing to the Administrative Agent; and

            (ii) second, to the L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender, the Foreign
      Currency Fronting Lender or any other Lenders for any Defaulted Amounts
      then owing to the L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender, the Foreign Currency
      Fronting Lender or any other Lenders, ratably in accordance with such
      respective Defaulted Amounts then owing to the L/C Issuer, the Swing Line
      Lender, the Foreign Currency Fronting Lender or such other Lenders.

Any portion of such amount paid by the Borrower for the account of such
Defaulting Lender remaining, after giving effect to the amount applied by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to this subsection (a), shall be applied by the
Administrative Agent as specified in subsection (b) of this Section 2.16.

      (b) In the event that, at any one time, (i) any Lender shall be a
Defaulting Lender, (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall not owe a Defaulted Loan or
a Defaulted Amount and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C
Issuer, the Swing Line Lender, the Foreign Currency Fronting Lender or any other
Lender shall be required to pay or distribute any amount hereunder or under any
other Loan Document to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender, then the
Borrower, the L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender, the Foreign Currency Fronting
Lender or such other Lender shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent to
be held by the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, in escrow or the Administrative Agent shall, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, hold in escrow such amount otherwise held by
it. Any funds held by the Administrative Agent in escrow under this subsection
(b) shall be deposited by the Administrative Agent in an account with Bank of
America (or such other bank as may be the Administrative Agent at such time), in
the name and under the control of the Administrative Agent, but subject to the
provisions of this subsection (b). The terms applicable to

                                       59
<PAGE>

such account, including the rate of interest payable with respect to the credit
balance of such account from time to time, shall be Bank of America's (or such
other bank's) standard terms applicable to escrow accounts maintained with it.
Any interest credited to such account from time to time shall be held by the
Administrative Agent in escrow under, and applied by the Administrative Agent
from time to time in accordance with the provisions of, this subsection (b). The
Administrative Agent shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
apply all funds so held in escrow from time to time to the extent necessary to
make any Loans required to be made by such Defaulting Lender and to pay any
amount payable by such Defaulting Lender hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender,
the Foreign Currency Fronting Lender or any other Lender, as and when such Loans
or amounts are required to be made or paid and, if the amount so held in escrow
shall at any time be insufficient to make and pay all such Loans and amounts
required to be made or paid at such time, in the following order of priority:

            (i) first, to the Administrative Agent for any amount then due and
      payable by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder;

            (ii) second, to the L/C Issuer, Swing Line Lender, the Foreign
      Currency Fronting Lender or any other Lender for any amount then due and
      payable by such Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuer, Swing Line Lender,
      the Foreign Currency Fronting Lender or such other Lender hereunder,
      ratably in accordance with such respective amounts then due and payable to
      the L/C Issuer, Swing Line Lender, the Foreign Currency Fronting Lender
      and such other Lenders; and

            (iii) third, to the Borrower for any Loan then required to be made
      by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to a Revolving Credit Commitment of
      such Defaulting Lender.

In the event that any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender shall, at any time,
cease to be a Defaulting Lender, any funds held by the Administrative Agent in
escrow at such time with respect to such Lender shall be distributed by the
Administrative Agent to such Lender and applied by such Lender to the
Obligations owing to such Lender at such time under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents ratably in accordance with the respective amounts of such
Obligations outstanding at such time.

      (c) The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section
2.16 are in addition to other rights and remedies that the Borrower may have
against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Defaulted Loan and that the
Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender with
respect to any Defaulted Amount.

                                  ARTICLE III.

                     TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

      3.01 TAXES.

      (a) Subject to compliance with the provisions of Section 11.14, any and
all payments by the Borrower to or for the account of the Administrative Agent
or any Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and
without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies,
imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and all
liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of the Administrative
Agent and each Lender, taxes imposed on or measured by its net income, and
franchise taxes imposed on it (in lieu of net income taxes) and any branch
profits taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision
thereof) under the

                                       60
<PAGE>

Laws of which the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, is
organized, maintains its principal office or maintains a lending office (all
such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees,
withholdings or similar charges, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to
as "Taxes"). Subject to Section 11.14, if the Borrower shall be required by any
Laws to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan
Document to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (i) the sum payable shall be
increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including
deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01), each
of the Administrative Agent and such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum
it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall
make such deductions, (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to
the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable
Laws, and (iv) as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of such payment,
the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent (which shall forward the
same to such Lender) the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing
payment thereof to the extent such a receipt is issued therefor, or other
written proof of payment thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent.

      (b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future
stamp, court or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes or
charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under any Loan
Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or
registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (hereinafter
referred to as "Other Taxes").

      (c) If the Borrower shall be required to deduct or pay any Taxes or Other
Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, the Borrower shall also pay to the
Administrative Agent or to such Lender, as the case may be, at the time interest
is paid, such additional amount that the Administrative Agent or such Lender
specifies with reasonable support is necessary to preserve the after-tax yield
(after factoring in all taxes, including taxes imposed on or measured by net
income, and tax credits that are attributable to such taxes and reasonably
anticipated to be utilized during the taxable year such taxes are imposed) that
the Administrative Agent or such Lender would have received if such Taxes or
Other Taxes had not been imposed.

      (d) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each
Lender for (i) the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or
Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under
this Section 3.01) paid by the Administrative Agent and such Lender, (ii)
amounts payable under Section 3.01(c) and (iii) any liability (including
additions to tax, penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with
respect thereto, in each case whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were
correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.
Payment under this subsection (d) shall be made within 30 days after the date
the Lender or the Administrative Agent makes a demand therefor.

      (e) If the Borrower determines in good faith that a reasonable basis
exists for contesting any Taxes for which indemnification has been demanded
hereunder or on account of which the Borrower's payment to a Lender has been
increased hereunder, the relevant Lender or the Administrative Agent, as
applicable, shall cooperate with the Borrower in challenging such Taxes at the
Borrower's expense if so requested by the Borrower in writing. If any Lender or
the Administrative Agent, as applicable, receives a refund or credit of a Tax
for which a payment has been made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section,
which credit or refund in the good faith judgment of such Lender or
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, is attributable to such payment made
by the Borrower, then the Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may
be, shall reimburse the Borrower for such amount as the Lender or the
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, determines in their respective good
faith judgments to be the proportion of the credit or refund as will leave it,
after such reimbursement, in no better or worse position than it would have been
in if the payment had not been required. If a Lender or the Administrative Agent

                                       61
<PAGE>

is required to return all or a portion of any credit or refund for which
reimbursement was made under the preceding sentence to the authority that
granted such refund, the Borrower shall pay over to such Lender or the
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, the portion of such reimbursement as
will leave such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in no
better or worse position than if no such reimbursement had been made. Nothing
herein contained shall (i) interfere with the right of a Lender or the
Administrative Agent to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks
fit, (ii) oblige any Lender or the Administrative Agent to disclose any
information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof
or (iii) require any Lender or the Administrative Agent to do anything that
would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other reliefs, remissions or
repayments to which it may be entitled.

      3.02 ILLEGALITY.

      If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any
Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its
applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurocurrency Rate Loans
(whether denominated in Dollars or a Foreign Currency), or to determine or
charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, or any Governmental
Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to
purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars or a Foreign Currency in the
applicable interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the
Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make
or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies or,
in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in Dollars to convert Base Rate Loans to
Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such
determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall,
upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay
or, if applicable and such Loans are denominated in Dollars, convert all
Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last
day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to
maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such
Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Upon
any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest
on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a
different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice
and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially
disadvantageous to such Lender.

      3.03 INABILITY TO DETERMINE RATES.

      If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with
any request for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation
thereof that (a) deposits (whether in Dollars or Foreign Currency) are not being
offered to banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for such currency
for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan,
(b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency
Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency
Rate Loan (whether in Dollars or a Foreign Currency), or (c) the Eurocurrency
Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency
Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of
funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower
and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain
Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies shall be
suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required
Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may
revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of
Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies or, failing that,
will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of
Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

                                       62
<PAGE>

      3.04 INCREASED COST AND REDUCED RETURN; CAPITAL ADEQUACY; RESERVES ON
           EUROCURRENCY RATE LOANS.

      (a) If any Lender determines that as a result of the introduction after
the Closing Date of or any change after the Closing Date in or in the
interpretation of any Law, or such Lender's compliance therewith, there shall be
any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding
or maintaining Eurocurrency Rate Loans or (as the case may be) issuing or
participating in Letters of Credit, or a reduction in the amount received or
receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the foregoing (excluding for
purposes of this subsection (a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount
resulting from (i) any taxes (as to which Section 3.01 shall govern to the
extent applicable), (ii) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income
or overall gross income by the United States or any foreign jurisdiction or any
political subdivision of either thereof under the Laws of which such Lender is
organized or has its Lending Office, and (iii) reserve requirements contemplated
by Section 3.04(c)), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender (with a
copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such
Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased
cost or reduction.

      (b) If any Lender determines that the introduction after the Closing Date
of any Law regarding capital adequacy or any change after the Closing Date
therein or in the interpretation thereof, or compliance by such Lender (or its
Lending Office) therewith, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the
capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a
consequence of such Lender's obligations hereunder (taking into consideration
its policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender's desired return
on capital), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender (with a copy of
such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender
such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction.

      (c) The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be
required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting
of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as "Eurocurrency
Liabilities"), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each
Eurocurrency Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to
such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which
determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date
on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower shall have
received at least 15 days prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent)
of such additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice
15 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest
shall be due and payable 15 days from receipt of such notice.

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

      (e) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to demand
compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not
constitute a waiver of such Lender's or the L/C Issuer's right to demand such
compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a
Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section
for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months
prior to the date that such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be,
notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs
or reductions and of such Lender's or the L/C Issuer's intention to claim
compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions is retroactive,

                                       63
<PAGE>

then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the
period of retroactive effect thereof).

      3.05 FUNDING LOSSES.

      Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from
time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold
such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result
of:

            (a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan
      other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the
      Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by
      reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

            (b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure
      of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any
      Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by
      the Borrower;

            (c) any failure by the Borrower to make payment of any Loan or
      drawing under any Letter of Credit (or interest due thereon) denominated
      in Foreign Currency on its scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a
      different currency; or

            (d) any assignment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a day other than
      the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of an assignment
      by Bank of America or Lehman Commercial Paper Inc. as part of the primary
      syndication of the Term Loan during the 180-day period immediately
      following the Closing Date;

including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from
the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or
from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained
or from the performance of any foreign exchange contract. The Borrower shall
also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection
with the foregoing.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under
this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency
Rate Loan made by it at the Eurocurrency Rate for such Loan by a matching
deposit or other borrowing in the offshore interbank Eurocurrency market for
such currency for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or
not such Eurocurrency Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

      3.06 MATTERS APPLICABLE TO ALL REQUESTS FOR COMPENSATION.

      (a) A written notice from the Administrative Agent or any Lender claiming
compensation under this Article III and setting forth the additional amount or
amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error. In determining such amount, the Administrative Agent or such
Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

      (b) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, to the
extent any notice under this Article III is given by any Lender more than 180
days after such Lender has knowledge of the occurrence of the event giving rise
to the additional cost, reduction in amounts, loss, tax or other additional
amounts described in this Article III or if such additional cost, reduction in
amounts, loss or other additional amounts are the result of any change in Law

Lender shall not be entitled to compensation under such Section for any such
amounts incurred or accruing prior to the giving of such notice to the Borrower.

      3.07 SURVIVAL.

      All of the Borrower's obligations under this Article III shall survive

hereunder.

                                   ARTICLE IV.

                                    GUARANTY

      4.01 THE GUARANTY.

      (a) Each of the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantees to each
Lender, each Affiliate of a Lender that enters into a Swap Contract or a
Treasury Management Agreement, and the Administrative Agent as hereinafter
provided, as primary obligor and not as surety, the prompt payment of the
Obligations in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory
prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise)
strictly in accordance with the terms thereof. The Guarantors hereby further
agree that if any of the Obligations are not paid in full when due (whether at
stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash
collateralization or otherwise), the Guarantors will, jointly and severally,
promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the
case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Obligations,
the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity,
as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash
collateralization or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension
or renewal.

      (b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in
any other of the Loan Documents, Swap Contracts or Treasury Management
Agreements, the obligations of each Guarantor under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest
amount that would not render such obligations subject to avoidance under the
Debtor Relief Laws or any comparable provisions of any applicable Law.

      4.02 OBLIGATIONS UNCONDITIONAL.

      (a) The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 4.01(a) are joint and
several, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness,
validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents, Swap
Contracts or Treasury Management Agreements, or any other agreement or
instrument referred to therein, or any substitution, release, impairment or
exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Obligations, and,
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other
circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable
discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this
Section 4.02 that the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute
and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Each Guarantor agrees that
such Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or
contribution against the Borrower or any other Guarantor for amounts paid under
this Article IV until such time as the Obligations have been paid in full and
the Commitments have expired or terminated.

      (b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing subsection (a), it is
agreed that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the occurrence of any one
or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of any
Guarantor hereunder, which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described
above:

                                       65
<PAGE>

            (i) at any time or from time to time, without notice to any
      Guarantor, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the
      Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be
      waived;

            (ii) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of any of
      the Loan Documents, any Swap Contract or Treasury Management Agreement
      between any Loan Party and any Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender, or
      any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Loan Documents, such
      Swap Contracts or such Treasury Management Agreements shall be done or
      omitted;

            (iii) the maturity of any of the Obligations shall be accelerated,
      or any of the Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in
      any respect, or any right under any of the Loan Documents, any Swap
      Contract or Treasury Management Agreement between any Loan Party and any
      Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender, or any other agreement or instrument
      referred to in the Loan Documents, such Swap Contracts or such Treasury
      Management Agreements shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the
      Obligations or any security therefor shall be released, impaired or
      exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;

            (iv) any Lien granted to, or in favor of, the Administrative Agent
      or any Lender or Lenders as security for any of the Obligations shall fail
      to attach or be perfected; or

            (v) any of the Obligations shall be determined to be void or
      voidable (including, without limitation, for the benefit of any creditor
      of any Guarantor) or shall be subordinated to the claims of any Person
      (including, without limitation, any creditor of any Guarantor).

      With respect to its obligations hereunder, each Guarantor hereby expressly
waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices
whatsoever, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender
exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Person under any of
the Loan Documents, any Swap Contract or any Treasury Management Agreement
between any Loan Party and any Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender, or any
other agreement or instrument referred to in the Loan Documents, such Swap
Contracts or such Treasury Management Agreements, or against any other Person
under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Obligations.

      4.03 REINSTATEMENT.

      The obligations of the Guarantors under this Article IV shall be
automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by
or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must be
otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Obligations, whether as a result
of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and each
Domestic Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify the Administrative Agent and
each Lender on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent
or such Lender in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any
such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that
such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment
under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

      4.04 CERTAIN ADDITIONAL WAIVERS.

      Without limiting the generality of the provisions of this Article IV, each
Guarantor further agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of recourse to
security for the Obligations, except through the exercise of rights of
subrogation pursuant to Section 4.02 and through the exercise of rights of
contribution pursuant to Section 4.06.

                                       66
<PAGE>

      As used in this paragraph, any reference to "the principal" includes the
Borrower, and any reference to "the creditor" includes the Lenders. In
accordance with Section 2856 of the California Civil Code: (a) each Guarantor
unconditionally and irrevocably waives any and all rights and defenses available
to it by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, 2899 and 3433 of the
California Civil Code; and (b) each Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably
waives any and all rights and defenses available to it by reason of the
Obligations being secured by real property or otherwise, including without
limitation, any rights and defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726
of the California Code of Civil Procedure or other law, which means, among other
things, (1) the creditor may collect from such Guarantor without first
foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by the principal
or any other Guarantor, (2) if the creditor forecloses on any real property
collateral pledged by the principal or such other Guarantor, (A) the amount of
the Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is
sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale
price and (B) the creditor may collect from such Guarantor even if the creditor,
by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right such
Guarantor may have to collect from the principal or any other Guarantor, and (3)
such Guarantor is waiving all rights and defenses arising out of an election of
remedies by the creditor, even though that election of remedies, such as a
nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Obligations, has
destroyed such Guarantor's rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the
principal by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil
Procedure or otherwise, and even though that election of remedies by the
creditor, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for an
obligation of any other Guarantor of any of the Obligations, has destroyed such
Guarantor's rights of contribution against such other Guarantor. No other
provision of this Article IV shall be construed as limiting the generality of
any of the covenants and waivers set forth in this paragraph. The guarantee
provided pursuant to this Article IV shall be governed by, and shall be
construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
This paragraph is included solely out of an abundance of caution, and shall not
be construed to mean that any of the above-referenced provisions of California
law are in any way applicable to this Article IV or to any of the Obligations.

      4.05 REMEDIES.

      The Guarantors agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, as
between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders, on the other hand, the Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due
and payable as provided in Section 9.02 (and shall be deemed to have become
automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in said Section
9.02) for purposes of Section 4.01(a) notwithstanding any stay, injunction or
other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing the Obligations
from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and
that, in the event of such declaration (or the Obligations being deemed to have
become automatically due and payable), the Obligations (whether or not due and
payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by the
Guarantors for purposes of Section 4.01(a). The Guarantors acknowledge and agree
that their obligations hereunder are secured in accordance with the terms of the
Collateral Documents and that the Lenders may exercise their remedies thereunder
in accordance with the terms thereof.

      4.06 RIGHTS OF CONTRIBUTION.

      The Guarantors agree among themselves that, in connection with payments
made hereunder, each Guarantor shall have contribution rights against the other
Guarantors as permitted under applicable law. Such contribution rights shall be
subordinate and subject in right of payment to the obligations of such
Guarantors under the Loan Documents and no Guarantor shall exercise such rights
of contribution until all Obligations have been paid in full and the Commitments
have terminated.

                                       67
<PAGE>

      4.07 GUARANTEE OF PAYMENT; CONTINUING GUARANTEE.

      The guarantee given by the Guarantors in this Article IV is a guaranty of
payment and not of collection, is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all
Obligations whenever arising.

                                   ARTICLE V.

      material respects on and as of the date of such Credit Extension, except
      to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer
      to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all
      material respects as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of
      this Section 5.02, the representations and warranties contained in
      subsections (a) and (b) of Section 6.05 shall be deemed to refer to the
      most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b),

            (c) The Administrative Agent and, if applicable, the L/C Issuer,

      After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 9.02 (or after the
Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable and the L/C
Obligations have automatically been required to be Cash Collateralized as set
forth in the proviso to Section 9.02), any amounts received on account of the
Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order:

            First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting

      III) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;

            Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting
      fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest)
      payable to the Lenders (including Attorney Costs and amounts payable under
      Article III), ratably among them in proportion to the amounts described in
      this clause Second payable to them;

            Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting
      accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans and L/C Borrowings, ratably among
      the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this
      clause Third payable to them;

            Fourth, ratably (i) to payment of that portion of the Obligations
      constituting unpaid principal of the Loans and L/C Borrowings, ratably
      among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in
      this subclause (i) to this clause Fourth held by them and (ii) to payment
      of that portion of the Obligations constituting amounts owing under or in
      respect of Secured Swap Contracts, ratably among the Swap Banks in
      proportion to the respective amounts described in this subclause (ii) to
      this clause Fourth held by them;

            Fifth, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C
      Issuer, to Cash Collateralize that portion of L/C Obligations comprised of
      the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit; and

            Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been
      indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by
      Law.

Subject to Section 2.03(c), amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate
undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fifth above shall be
applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any
amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have
either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to
the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above.

Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may
accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any
other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with
the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were
not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor
to the Lenders.

      Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be
      expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided
      that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action
      that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the
      Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document
      or applicable law; and

      (c)   shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other
      Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the
      failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of

circumstances as provided in Sections 12.01 and 10.02) or (ii) in the absence of
its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall
be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice
describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a
Lender or the L/C Issuer.

      The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to
ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in
or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the
contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or
thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or
observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set
forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity,
enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan
Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction
of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to
confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the
Administrative Agent.

      10.04 RELIANCE BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.

      The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not
incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent,
statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic
message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by
it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the
proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to
it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper
Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining
compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance
of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction
of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such
condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the L/C Issuer unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender
or the L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such
Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who
may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts
selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it
in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

      10.05 DELEGATION OF DUTIES.

      The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and
exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or
through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its
duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related
Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such
sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such
sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the
syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities
as Administrative Agent.

      10.06 RESIGNATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.

      The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to
the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of
resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the
Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the
United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United
States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required
Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the
retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then

                                      110
<PAGE>

the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C
Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set
forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower
and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then
such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such
notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its
duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that
in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on
behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the
retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security
until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all
payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or
through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and
the L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a
successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the
acceptance of a successor's appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such
successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the
retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and
obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already
discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the
Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable
to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such
successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.04
shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent,
its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative
Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

      Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to
this Section shall also constitute its resignation as L/C Issuer. Upon the
acceptance of a successor's appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a)
such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights,
powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer, (b) the retiring L/C
Issuer shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor L/C Issuer
shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any,
outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangement
satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of
the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

      10.07 NON-RELIANCE ON ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND OTHER LENDERS.

      Each Lender and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and
without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of
their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this
Agreement. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other
Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and
information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its
own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement,
any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished
hereunder or thereunder.

      10.08 NO OTHER DUTIES, ETC.

      Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the titles as
necessary listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or
responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except
in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the L/C
Issuer hereunder.

      10.09 ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM.

      In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation,
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other
judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent
(irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then
be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and
irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on
the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such
proceeding or otherwise:

            (a)   to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the
      principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C
      Obligations and all other Obligations (other than obligations under Swap
      Contracts or Treasury Management Agreements to which the Administrative
      Agent is not a party) that are owing and unpaid and to file such other
      documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of
      the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent (including any
      claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
      advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent and
      their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders,
      the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03(i) and
      (j), 2.09 and 11.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

            (b)   to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or
      deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or
other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
each Lender, the L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent
and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of
such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, to pay to the
Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and
counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.08
and 11.04.

      Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative
Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or
the L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to
authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender
in any such proceeding.

      10.10 RELEASES.

      The Lenders and the L/C Issuer irrevocably authorize the Administrative
Agent, at its option and in its discretion,

      (a)   to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the
      Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the
      Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than
      contingent indemnification obligations) and the expiration or termination
      of all Letters of Credit, (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in
      connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan
      Document, or (iii) subject to Section 11.01, if approved, authorized or
      ratified in writing by the Required Lenders;

                                      112
<PAGE>

      (b)   to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the
      Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on
      such property that is permitted by Section 8.01(j); and

      (c)   to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if
      such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction
      permitted hereunder.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will
confirm in writing the Administrative Agent's authority to release or
subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release
any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section
10.10.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

      11.01 AMENDMENTS, ETC.

      No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan
Party therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Required
Lenders and the Borrower or the applicable Loan Party, as the case may be, and
acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and each such waiver or consent shall
be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for
which given; provided, however, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall:

            (a)   extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender (or reinstate
      any Commitment terminated pursuant to Section 9.02) without the written
      consent of such Lender (it being understood and agreed that a waiver of

      Event of Default or a mandatory reduction in Commitments is not considered
      an extension or increase in Commitments of any Lender);

            (b)   postpone any date scheduled for any payment of principal under
      Section 2.08, interest, fees or other amounts due to the Lenders (or any

      payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the written
      consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided, however, that
      only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary (i) to amend
      the definition of "Default Rate" or to waive any obligation of the
      Borrower to pay interest at the Default Rate or (ii) to amend any
      financial covenant hereunder (or any defined term used therein) even if
      the effect of such amendment would be to reduce the rate of interest on
      any Loan or L/C Borrowing or to reduce any fee payable hereunder;

            (d)   change Section 2.14 or Section 9.03 in a manner that would
      alter the pro rata sharing of payments or the order of application of
      payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender
      directed affected thereby;

            (e)   change any provision of this Section or the definition of
      "Required Lenders" or any other provision hereof specifying the number or
      percentage of Lenders required to amend,

      or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender
      (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required Lenders,
      additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included
      in the determination of Required Lenders on substantially the same basis
      as the extensions of the Term Loan and the Revolving Credit Commitments
      are included on the Closing Date);

            (f)   release all or substantially all the Guarantors, from its or
      their obligations under the Loan Documents, or release all or
      substantially all of the Collateral, in each case, without the written
      consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

            (g)   amend the definition of "Foreign Currency" without the consent
      of each Revolving Credit Lender, or amend the definition of "Interest
      Period" to permit any Interest Period with a duration longer than six
      months, without the consent of each Lender affected thereby;

            (h)   without the consent of the majority of the Revolving Credit
      Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders), (i) waive any Default or Event of
      Default for purposes of Section 5.02 for purposes of any Borrowing of a
      Revolving Credit Loan or L/C Credit Extension and (ii) amend, change,
      waive, discharge or terminate Section 2.01(a), 2.02, 2.03 or 2.06 or any
      term, covenant or agreement contained in Article VIII or Article IX;

            (i)   without the consent of the majority of the Term Loan Lenders
      (other than Defaulting Lenders), (i) amend, change, waive, discharge or
      terminate Section 2.06 so as to alter the manner or application of
      proceeds of any mandatory prepayment required by such Section 2.06 and
      (ii) amend, change, waive, discharge or terminate Section 2.05(d)
      (although if additional extensions of term loans are extended after the
      Closing Date pursuant to this Agreement with the consent of the Required
      Lenders, such extensions of term loans shall be included on a pro rata
      basis in the various prepayments or repayments required pursuant to
      Section 2.05 and Section 2.06);

      and, provided further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall,
      unless in writing and signed by the L/C Issuer in addition to the Lenders
      required above, affect the rights or duties of the L/C Issuer under this
      Agreement or any Letter of Credit Application relating to any Letter of
      Credit issued or to be issued by it; (ii) no amendment, waiver or consent
      shall, unless in writing and signed by the Swing Line Lender in addition
      to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Swing
      Line Lender under this Agreement; (iii) no amendment, waiver or consent
      shall, unless in writing and signed by the Foreign Currency Fronting
      Lender in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or
      duties of the Foreign Currency Fronting Lender under this Agreement; (iv)
      no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the
      Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the
      rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any
      other Loan Document; and (v) the Administrative Agent Fee Letter and the
      Fee Letter may each be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived,
      in a writing executed only by the parties thereto. Notwithstanding
      anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right
      to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder,
      except that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended
      without the consent of such Lender.

delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial

or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or

cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges
provided by law.

      11.04 EXPENSES; INDEMNITY; DAMAGE WAIVER.

any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including
the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), incurred
by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by
the Borrower or any other Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a
result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan
Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the
performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or
thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the

for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection
with such demand do not strictly comply with

                                      116
<PAGE>

the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or
release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in
any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or
prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of
the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether
brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, 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 (x) are determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have
resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or
(y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Loan Party against
an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee's obligations hereunder
or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower or such Loan Party has
obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

      (c)   Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any
reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b)
of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent
thereof), the L/C Issuer or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each
Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such
sub-agent), the L/C Issuer or such Related Party, 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 the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the L/C Issuer in
its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing
acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or L/C Issuer in
connection with such capacity; provided that to the extent the L/C Issuer is
entitled to indemnification pursuant to this subsection solely in its capacity
and role as L/C Issuer, only the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be required to
indemnify the L/C Issuer in accordance with this subsection (c) and provided
further that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to the Administrative
Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Related Party for any portion of the liability
required to be reimbursed pursuant to this subsection, to the extent determined
in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted from such Person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The
obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the
provisions of Section 2.11(d).

      (d)   Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, no Borrower shall assert, and hereby waives, any
claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages)
arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other
Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the
use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above
shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of
any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications,
electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby.

      11.05 PAYMENTS SET ASIDE.

      To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to
the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any
Lender exercises its right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such
set-off or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any
settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its
discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other

                                      117
<PAGE>

party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or
otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part
thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in
full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such set-off had
not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid
by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand
to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable
Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, in the applicable currency of such
recovery or payment. The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer under
clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the
Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

      11.06 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

      (a)   The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may
assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without
the prior written consent of each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise
transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible
Assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section,
(ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d)
of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest
subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section (and any other
attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).
Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer
upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d)
of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the
Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of
this Agreement.

      (b)   Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees
all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including
all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this
subsection (b), participations in L/C Obligations, in Swing Line Loans and in
Foreign Currency Fronting Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that (i)
except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the
assigning Lender's Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the
case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved
Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for
this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not
then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning
Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment
and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the
Administrative Agent or, if "Trade Date" is specified in the Assignment and
Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless the
Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Borrower, otherwise consents (each such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) (treating assignments on the same day to more
than one Approved Fund of a single Lender as a single assignment for purposes of
such minimum amount); (ii) each partial assignment of the Revolving Credit
Outstandings shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the
assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to
the Revolving Credit Outstandings, except that this clause (ii) shall not apply
to rights in respect of Swing Line Loans and Foreign Currency Fronting Loans;
(iii) any assignment of a Revolving Credit Commitment or a Loan must be approved
by the Administrative Agent and with respect to Revolving Credit Commitments,
the L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender and the Foreign Currency Fronting Lender
unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender (whether or
not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee); and
(iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing
and recordation fee of $3,500; provided, that no such fee shall be payable in
the case of an assignment to another Lender, an

                                      118
<PAGE>

Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender (and in the
case of assignments on the same day by a Lender to more than one fund managed or
advised by the same investment advisor (which funds are not then Lenders), only
a single $3,500 processing and recordation fee shall be payable for all such
assignments by such Lender to such funds), and the Eligible Assignee, if it
shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Administrative Questionnaire. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after
the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible
Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and
obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender
thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the
case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender's
rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a
party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01,
3.04, 3.05, 11.04 and 11.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring
prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, the Borrower (at
its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any
assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement
that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this
Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and
obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.

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

      (d)   Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to,
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person
(other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower's Affiliates
or Subsidiaries) (each, a "Participant") in all or a portion of such Lender's
rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of
its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender's participations in L/C
Obligations and/or Foreign Currency Fronting Loans) owing to it); provided that
(i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii)
such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent
and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this
Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a
participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to
enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of
any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may
provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree
to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in clauses (a) through
(f) of the first proviso to Section 11.01 that directly affects such
Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that
each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and
3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by
assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted
by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.08
as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to
Section 2.12 as though it were a Lender.

                                      119
<PAGE>

      (e)   A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment
under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 than the applicable Lender would have been
entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant,
unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the
Borrower's prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender
if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless
the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such
Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section
3.01(e) as though it were a Lender.

      (f)   Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in
all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note,
if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment
to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or
assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or
substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

      (g)   The words "execution," "signed," "signature," and words of like
import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic
signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be
of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed
signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be,
to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal
Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State
Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on
the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

      (h)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any
time Bank of America assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to
subsection (b) above, Bank of America may, (i) upon 30 days' notice to the
Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer, (ii) upon 30 days' notice to the
Borrower, resign as Swing Line Lender and/or (ii) upon 30 days' notice to the
Borrower, resign as Foreign Currency Fronting Lender. In the event of any such
resignation as L/C Issuer, Swing Line Lender or Foreign Currency Fronting
Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a
successor L/C Issuer, Swing Line Lender or Foreign Currency Fronting Lender
hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any
such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as L/C Issuer,
Swing Line Lender or Foreign Currency Fronting Lender, as the case may be. If
Bank of America resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights and
obligations of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit
outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all
L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders
to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts
pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If Bank of America resigns as Swing Line Lender,
it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder
with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective
date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make
Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans
pursuant to Section 2.04(a)(iii). If Bank of America resigns as Foreign Currency
Fronting Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Foreign Currency Fronting
Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Foreign Currency Fronting Loans
made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation,
including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk
participations in outstanding Foreign Currency Fronting Loans pursuant to
Section 2.04(b)(iii).

      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender that
is a fund may create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans
owing to it and the Notes, if any, held by it to the trustee for holders of
obligations owed, or securities issued, by such fund as security for such
obligations or securities, provided that unless and until such trustee actually
becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 11.06,
(i) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations
under the Loan Documents and (ii) such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise
any of the

                                      120
<PAGE>

rights of a Lender under the Loan Documents even though such trustee may have
acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through
foreclosure or otherwise.

      11.07 CONFIDENTIALITY.

      The Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and each of the Lenders agrees to
maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that Information (as
defined below) may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates' directors,
officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other
advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made
will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed
to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any
regulatory authority; (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or
regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party
to this Agreement; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder
or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement
of rights hereunder; (f) subject to provisions substantially the same as those
of this Section, to (i) any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any
prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any direct or indirect contractual
counterparty or prospective counterparty (or such contractual counterparty's or
prospective counterparty's professional advisor) to any credit derivative
transaction relating to obligations of the Loan Parties; (g) with the consent of
the Borrower; (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available
other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to
the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source
other than the Borrower or a party that has provided such information in
violation of this Section 11.07 (i) to any state, Federal or foreign authority
or examiner (including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or
any other similar organization) regulating any Lender; or (j) to any rating
agency when required by it (it being understood that, prior to any such
disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality
of any Information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from such
Lender). In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the
existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data
collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service
providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the
administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the
Commitments, and the Credit Extensions. For the purposes of this Section,
"Information" means all information received from any Loan Party relating to any
Loan Party or its business, other than any such information that is available to
the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to
disclosure by any Loan Party. Any Person required to maintain the
confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered
to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the
same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such
Person would accord to its own confidential information.

      11.08 SET-OFF.

      In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law,
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each
Lender, the L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is authorized at
any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower or any
other Loan Party, any such notice being waived by the Borrower (on its own
behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party) to the fullest extent permitted by law,
to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time
owing by, such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan
Parties against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender hereunder or under
any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or
not the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made demand under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be
contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the
applicable deposit or indebtedness.

                                      121
<PAGE>

Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, however,
that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such
set-off and application.

      11.09 INTEREST RATE LIMITATION.

      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document,
the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed
the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the
"Maximum Rate"). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive
interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall
be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid
principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest
contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender
exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable
Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or
premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects
thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal
parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the
Obligations hereunder.

      11.10 COUNTERPARTS.

      This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and
the same instrument.

      11.11 INTEGRATION.

      This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the
complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof
and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such
subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this
Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement
shall control, provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in
favor of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document
shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was
drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall
be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance
with the fair meaning thereof.

      11.12 SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

      All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan
Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection
herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and
thereof Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by
the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made
by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding
that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of
any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full
force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall
remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

      11.13 SEVERABILITY.

      If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to
be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and
enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall
endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which
comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable

                                      122
<PAGE>

provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not
invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

      11.14 TAX FORMS.

      (a)   (i)   Each Lender that is not a "United States person" within the
meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a "Foreign Lender") shall deliver to
the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, prior to or upon becoming a party to
this Agreement (or upon accepting an assignment of an interest herein), two duly
signed completed copies of either IRS Form W-8BEN or any successor thereto
(relating to such Foreign Lender and entitling it to an exemption from, or
reduction of, withholding tax on all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender
by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement) or IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor
thereto (relating to all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the
Borrower pursuant to this Agreement) or such other evidence satisfactory to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent that such Foreign Lender is entitled to an
exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. withholding tax, including any exemption
pursuant to Section 881(c) of the Code, and in the case of a Foreign Lender
claiming such exemption under Section 881(c) of the Code, a certificate that
establishes in writing to the Administrative Agent that such Foreign Lender is
not (x) a "bank" as defined in Section 88l(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (y) a 10
percent shareholder within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code and
(z) a controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower within the meaning
of Section 864(d) of the Code. Thereafter and from time to time, each such
Foreign Lender shall (A) promptly submit to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent such additional duly completed and signed copies of one of such forms (or
such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant
United States taxing authorities) as may then be available under then current
United States laws and regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is satisfactory
to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any available exemption from or
reduction of, United States withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be
made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, (B)
promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any change in
circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or
reduction, and (C) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to
it, in the reasonable judgment of such Foreign Lender, and as may be reasonably
necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any
requirement of applicable Laws that the Borrower make any deduction or
withholding for taxes from amounts payable to such Foreign Lender. Subject to
Section 11.14(a)(iii), if the forms provided by a Foreign Lender at any time
indicate a U.S. interest withholding rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at
such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such
forms; provided, however, that, if at the date of the Assignment and Assumption
pursuant to which a Foreign Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, the
Foreign Lender assignor was entitled to payments under subsection (a) of Section
3.01 in respect of U.S. withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such
date, then, to such extent, Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding tax
that may be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise includible in
Taxes) U.S. withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to the Foreign
Lender assignee on such date. If any form or document referred to in this
subsection (a) requires the disclosure of information, other than information
necessary to compute the tax payable and information required on the date hereof
by IRS Forms W-8BEN or W-8ECI, that the Foreign Lender reasonably considers to
be confidential, the Foreign Lender shall give notice thereof to the Borrower
and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential
information unless arrangements satisfactory to such Foreign Lender have been
made to preserve the confidential nature of such information.

            (ii)  Each Foreign Lender, to the extent it does not act or ceases
      to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or
      payable to such Foreign Lender under any of the Loan Documents (for
      example, in the case of a typical participation by such Foreign Lender),
      shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on the date
      when such Foreign Lender ceases to act for its own account with respect to
      any portion of any such sums

                                      123
<PAGE>

      paid or payable, and at such other times as may be necessary in the
      determination of the Administrative Agent (in the reasonable exercise of
      its discretion), (A) two duly signed completed copies of the forms or
      statements required to be provided by such Foreign Lender as set forth
      above in Section 11.14(a)(i), to establish the portion of any such sums
      paid or payable with respect to which such Foreign Lender acts for its own
      account that is not subject to U.S. withholding tax, and (B) two duly
      signed completed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor thereto),
      together with any information such Foreign Lender chooses to transmit with
      such form, and any other certificate or statement of exemption required
      under the Code, to establish that such Foreign Lender is not acting for
      its own account with respect to a portion of any such sums payable to such
      Foreign Lender. Any Foreign Lender who provides forms or statements
      pursuant to Section 11.14(a)(ii)(A) shall be subject to Section
      11.14(a)(i) to the extent of the portion of the sums paid or payable with
      respect to which such Foreign Lender acts for its own account.

            (iii) The Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional
      amount to any Foreign Lender under Section 3.01, (A) with respect to any
      Taxes required to be deducted or withheld on the basis of the information,
      certificates or statements of exemption such Foreign Lender transmits with
      an IRS Form W-8IMY pursuant to this Section 11.14(a) or (B) if such
      Foreign Lender shall have failed to satisfy the foregoing provisions of
      this Section 11.14(a); provided that if such Foreign Lender shall have
      satisfied the requirement of this Section 11.14(a) on the date such
      Foreign Lender became a Lender or ceased to act for its own account with
      respect to any payment under any of the Loan Documents, nothing in this
      Section 11.14(a) shall relieve the Borrower of its obligation to pay any
      amounts pursuant to Section 3.01 in the event that, solely as a result of
      any change in any applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation
      or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or
      application thereof, such Foreign Lender is no longer properly entitled to
      deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date
      establishing the fact that such Foreign Lender or other Person for the
      account of which such Foreign Lender receives any sums payable under any
      of the Loan Documents is not subject to withholding or is subject to
      withholding at a reduced rate; provided, further, that should a Foreign
      Lender become subject to Taxes because of its failure to satisfy the
      foregoing provisions of this Section 11.14(a), the Borrower shall take
      such steps as such Foreign Lender shall reasonably request to assist such
      Foreign Lender in recovering such Taxes.

            (iv)  The Borrower or the Administrative Agent may, without
      reduction, withhold any taxes required to be deducted and withheld from
      any payment under any of the Loan Documents with respect to which the
      Borrower is not required to pay additional amounts under Section 3.01 or
      this Section 11.14(a).

      (b)   Upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, each
Lender that is a "United States person" within the meaning of Section
7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent two duly signed completed copies of IRS Form W-9. If such Lender fails to
deliver such forms, then the Borrower or the Administrative Agent may withhold
from any interest payment to such Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable

the L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender, the Foreign Currency Fronting Lender or
the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a

Issuer, the Swing Line Lender, the Foreign Currency Fronting Lender or the
Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency,
such Lender, the L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender, the Foreign Currency

replace any Lender that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to
Section 3.01 or, (b) is affected in the manner described in Section 3.02 and as
a result thereof any of the actions described in such Section is required to be
taken or, (c) becomes a Defaulting Lender or, (d) becomes a non-consenting
Lender as provided below, with a replacement bank or other financial
institution, provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Laws,
(ii) except in the case of clause (d) above, no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) the Borrower
shall repay (or the replacement bank or institution shall purchase, at par) all
Loans and other amounts (other than any reasonably disputed amounts), pursuant
to Section 3.01 and 3.04, as the case may be) owing to such replaced Lender
prior to the date of replacement, (iv) the replacement bank or institution, if
not already a Lender, and the terms and conditions of such replacement, shall be
an Eligible Assignee, (v) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such
replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.06 (provided that
the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee
referred to therein) and (vi) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a
waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other
Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

termination to any of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by
clauses (b) through (f), inclusive of the first proviso of Section 11.01, the

such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then the Borrower
shall have the right to replace each such non-consenting Lender or Lenders with
one or more replacement banks or financial institutions pursuant to this Section
11.18 so long as at the time of replacement, each such replacement bank or
financial institution consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or
termination; provided that, the failure by such non-consenting Lender to execute
and deliver an Assignment and Assumption shall not impair the validity of the
removal of such non-consenting Lender and the mandatory assignment of such
non-consenting Lender's Commitments and outstanding Loans and participations in
L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans and Foreign Currency Fronting Loan pursuant
to this Section 11.18 shall nevertheless be effective without the execution by
such non-consenting Lender of an Assignment and Assumption.

            L/C OBLIGATIONS WITH RESPECT TO EXISTING LETTERS OF CREDIT.

recourse and re-allocated among the Lenders so that, and credit extensions and
commitments shall be made by the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement so that as
