Subject to Sections 2.10(a) and 2.11, all amounts owed hereunder with respect to
the Dollar Term Loans and the Euro Term Loans shall be paid in full no later
than the Term Loan Maturity Date. Each Lender's Dollar Term Loan Commitment and
Euro Term Loan Commitment shall terminate immediately and without further action
on the Closing Date after giving effect to the funding of such Lender's Dollar
Term Loan Commitment and Euro Term Loan Commitment on such date.

          (c) Borrowing Mechanics.

               (i) The Company shall each deliver to Administrative Agent a
     fully executed Funding Notice at least one day prior to the Closing Date.
     Promptly upon receipt by Administrative Agent of such Certificate,
     Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed borrowing.

               (ii) Each Lender shall make its Dollar Term Loan and/or Euro Term
     Loan, as the case may be, available to Administrative Agent not later than
     12:00 p.m. (Local Time) on the Closing Date, by wire transfer of same day
     funds in Dollars or Euro, as applicable, at Administrative Agent's
     Principal Office. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent
     specified herein, Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of (a) the
     Dollar Term Loans available to Company on the Closing Date by causing an
     amount of same day funds in Dollars equal to the proceeds of all such Loans
     received by Administrative Agent from Lenders to be credited to the account
     of Company at Administrative Agent's Principal Office or to such other
     account as may be designated in writing to Administrative Agent by Company
     and (b) Euro Term Loans available to Company on the Closing Date by causing
     an amount of same day funds in Euro, equal to the proceeds of all such
     Loans received by Administrative Agent from Lenders to be credited to the
     account of Company at Administrative Agent's Principal Office or to such
     other account as may be designated in writing to Administrative Agent by
     Company.

     2.2 Pro Rata Shares. All Loans shall be made, and all participations
purchased, by Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro
Rata Shares, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any
default by any other Lender in such other Lender's obligation to make a Loan
requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby nor shall any
Term Loan Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of a
default by any other Lender in such other Lender's obligation to make a Loan
requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby.

     2.3 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Dollar Term Loans and Euro Term
Loans made on the Closing Date shall be used by the Company to repay First Lien
Term Loans, to pay Second Lien Transaction Costs and for working capital and
general corporate purposes of Holdings and its Subsidiaries (including the
repayment of revolving loans outstanding under the First Lien Credit Agreement).
No portion of the proceeds of any Credit Extension shall be used in any manner
that causes or might cause such Credit Extension or the application of such
proceeds to violate Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other regulation thereof or to
violate the Exchange Act.

     2.4 Evidence of Debt; Register; Lenders' Books and Records; Notes.

          (a) Lenders' Evidence of Debt. Each Lender shall maintain on its
internal records an account or accounts evidencing the Obligations of the
Company to such Lender, including the amounts of the Loans made by it and each
repayment and prepayment in respect thereof. Any such recordation shall be
conclusive and binding on the Company, absent manifest error; provided, that the
failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall
not affect the


                                       19

<PAGE>

Company's Obligations in respect of any applicable Term Loans; and provided
further, in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender's
records, the recordations in the Register shall govern.

          (b) Register. Administrative Agent shall maintain at its Principal
Office a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders and
the Term Loans of each Lender from time to time (the "Register"). The Register
shall be available for inspection by the Company at any reasonable time and from
time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In addition, Administrative Agent
shall make the Register available for inspection by the Lenders upon reasonable
prior notice at reasonable times, provided that a Lender shall only be entitled
to inspect its own entry in the Register and not that of any other Lender.
Administrative Agent shall record in the Register the Term Loans, and each
repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans, and any
such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and each Lender,
absent manifest error; provided, failure to make any such recordation, or any
error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender's Term Loans or the
Company's Obligations in respect of any Loan. The Company hereby designates
Administrative Agent to serve as Company's agent solely for purposes of
maintaining the Register as provided in this Section 2.4, and the Company hereby
agrees that, to the extent Administrative Agent serves in such capacity,
Administrative Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents and
affiliates shall constitute "Indemnitees."

          (c) Notes. If so requested by any Lender by written notice to the
Company (with a copy to Administrative Agent) at least two Business Days prior
to the Closing Date, or at any time thereafter, the Company shall execute and
deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such
notice, to any Person who is an assignee of such Lender pursuant to Section
10.6) on the Closing Date (or, if such notice is delivered after the Closing
Date, promptly after the Company's receipt of such notice) a Term Loan Note or
Term Loan Notes to evidence such Lender's Dollar Term Loan or Euro Term Loan
(including any amounts added thereto pursuant to Section 2.5(b)). Any Term Loan
Note issued to a Lender on any Interest Payment Date with respect to the Dollar
PIK Amount or Euro PIK Amount, as the case may be, shall be in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the applicable PIK Amount with respect to such Term
Loan for such Interest Payment Date, and shall otherwise be identical to the
outstanding Dollar Term Loan Notes or Euro Term Loan Notes, as the case may be.

     2.5 Interest on Loans.

          (a) Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Term Loans shall bear
interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through
repayment (whether by acceleration or otherwise) thereof as follows:

               (i) in the case of Dollar Term Loans:

                    (1) if a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate plus the
          Applicable Margin; or

                    (2) if a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, at the Adjusted
          Eurocurrency Rate plus the Applicable Margin; and

               (ii) in the case of Euro Term Loans, at the Adjusted Eurocurrency
     Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

          (b) Company may, at its option, (i) pay up to 1.50% per annum of the
interest payable in respect of the Dollar Term Loans on any Interest Payment
Date by capitalizing and adding such interest to the then outstanding principal
amount of the Dollar Term Loans (the "Dollar PIK Amount") and (ii) pay up to
1.50% per annum of the interest payable in respect of the Euro Term Loans on any
Interest Payment Date by capitalizing and adding such interest to the then
outstanding principal amount of the Euro Term Loans (the "Euro PIK Amount"), in
each case in lieu of payment of such portion of interest in Cash. Each Lender
having Dollar Term Loan Exposure shall receive the same ratio of cash interest
to Dollar PIK Amount on such Interest Payment Date. Each Lender having Euro Term
Loan Exposure shall receive the same ratio of cash interest to Euro PIK Amount
on such Interest Payment Date. From and after the applicable Interest Payment
Date, references to the "Term Loans," "Dollar Term Loans" and "Euro Term Loans"
shall include the applicable PIK Amount capitalized and added to the principal
of such Loans on such date. Unless Company notifies Administrative Agent in
writing at least three Business Days prior to an Interest Payment Date that it
intends to pay in Cash all or any portion of the interest permitted to be paid
in kind on such date pursuant to this Section 2.5(b), Company shall be deemed to
have elected to pay in kind on such Interest Payment Date the maximum amount
permitted by this Section 2.5(b). To the extent the


                                       20

<PAGE>

Company elects to pay in Cash any portion of the interest payable on any
Interest Payment Date permitted to be paid in kind pursuant to this Section
2.5(b), the amount of such Cash payment shall be applied ratably to interest
payable on such date in respect of the Dollar Term Loans and the interest
payable on such date in respect of the Euro Term Loans.

          (c) The basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any
Loan, and the Interest Period with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Loan, shall
be selected by the Company and notified to Administrative Agent and Lenders
pursuant to the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as
the case may be; provided, until the date that Syndication Agent notifies
Company that the primary syndication of the Loans has been completed, as
determined by Syndication Agent, the Term Loans shall be maintained as either
(1) Eurocurrency Rate Loans having an Interest Period of no longer than one
month or (2) in the case of Dollar Loans, Base Rate Loans. If on any day a Loan
is outstanding with respect to which a Conversion/Continuation Notice has not
been delivered to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof
specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest, then for
that day such Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan if such Loan is denominated in
Dollars or a Eurocurrency Loan with an Interest Period of one month if such Loan
is denominated in Euro.

          (d) In connection with Eurocurrency Rate Loans there shall be no more
than four (4) Interest Periods outstanding at any time. In the event Company
fails to specify between a Base Rate Loan or a Eurocurrency Rate Loan in the
Conversion/Continuation Notice, such Loan (if outstanding as a Eurocurrency Rate
Loan) will be automatically converted into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of
the then-current Interest Period for such Loan (or if outstanding as a Base Rate
Loan will remain as a Base Rate Loan). In the event the Company fails to specify
an Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Rate Loan in the applicable
Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Company shall be deemed to have selected an
Interest Period of one month. As soon as practicable after 10:00 a.m. (Local
Time) on each Interest Rate Determination Date, Administrative Agent shall
determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final,
conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to
the Eurocurrency Rate Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined
for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in
writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Company and each Lender.

          (e) Interest payable pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be computed
(i) in the case of Base Rate Loans on the basis of a 365-day or 366-day year, as
the case may be, and (ii) in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, on the basis
of a 360-day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the
period during which it accrues. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of
the making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to
such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted from a
Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan to
such Base Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be included, and the date of
payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to
such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted to a Eurocurrency
Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Base Rate Loan to such Eurocurrency
Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be excluded; provided, if a Loan is repaid
on the same day on which it is made, one day's interest shall be paid on that
Loan.

          (f) Except as otherwise set forth herein, interest on each Loan shall
be payable in arrears on and to (i) each Interest Payment Date applicable to
that Loan; (ii) upon any prepayment of that Loan, whether voluntary or
mandatory, to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid; and (iii) at
maturity, including final maturity; provided, however, with respect to any
voluntary prepayment of a Base Rate Loan, accrued interest shall instead be
payable on the applicable Interest Payment Date.

     2.6 Conversion/Continuation.

          (a) Subject to Section 2.15 and so long as no Default or Event of
Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, the Company shall have the
option:

               (i) to convert at any time all or any part of any Term Loan in
     Dollars equal to $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess
     of that amount from one Type of Loan to another Type of Loan; provided, a
     Eurocurrency Rate Loan may only be converted on the expiration of the
     Interest Period applicable to such Eurocurrency Rate Loan unless Company
     shall pay all amounts due under Section 2.15 in connection with any such
     conversion; or


                                       21

<PAGE>

               (ii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any
     Eurocurrency Rate Loan, to continue all or any portion of such Loan equal
     to $1,000,000 or E1,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 or
     E1,000,000 in excess of that amount as a Eurocurrency Rate Loan.

          (b) The Company shall deliver a Conversion/Continuation Notice to
Administrative Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (Local Time) on the proposed
conversion date (in the case of a conversion to a Base Rate Loan) and at least
three Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date (in
the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan).
Except as otherwise provided herein, a Conversion/Continuation Notice for
conversion to, or continuation of, any Eurocurrency Rate Loans (or telephonic
notice in lieu thereof) shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest
Rate Determination Date, and the Company shall be bound to effect a conversion
or continuation in accordance therewith.

     2.7 Default Interest. The amount of Loans, interest, fees or other amounts
not paid when due hereunder or under any other Credit Document, and, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments on such Loans,
interest, fees or other amounts not paid when due hereunder or under any other
Credit Document, shall thereafter bear interest to the fullest extent permitted
by law (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy
Code or other applicable bankruptcy laws) payable on demand at a rate that is 2%
per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder with
respect to the applicable Loans (or, in the case of any such fees and other
amounts, at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate
otherwise payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans); provided, in the case of
Eurocurrency Rate Loans in Dollars, upon the expiration of the Interest Period
in effect at the time any such increase in interest rate is effective such
Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall thereupon become Base Rate Loans and shall
thereafter bear interest payable upon demand at a rate which is 2% per annum in
excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans.
Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this
Section 2.7 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not
constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any
rights or remedies of Administrative Agent or any Lender.

     2.8 Fees. Company agrees to pay to Agents fees in the amounts and at the
times separately agreed upon in writing.

     2.9 Repayment of Loans. Company shall repay in full the aggregate principal
amount of Term Loans outstanding and all other amounts owing hereunder with
respect thereto no later than the Term Loan Maturity Date.

     2.10 Voluntary Prepayments/Commitment Reductions.

          (a) Voluntary Prepayments. The Loans shall not be prepayable at the
Company's option prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date.

               (i) Subject to the provisions of paragraph (b) below, at any time
     and from time to time on or after the first anniversary of the Closing
     Date:

                    (1) with respect to Base Rate Loans, Company may prepay any
          such Loans on any Business Day in whole or in part, in an aggregate
          minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in
          excess of that amount;

                    (2) with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Loans in Dollars,
          Company may prepay any such Loans on any Business Day in whole or in
          part in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral
          multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount; and

                    (3) with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Loans in Euro, Company
          may prepay any such Loans on any Business Day in whole or in part in
          an aggregate minimum amount of E1,000,000 and integral multiples of
          E1,000,000 in excess of that amount.


                                       22

<PAGE>

               (ii) All such prepayments shall be made:

                    (1) upon written or telephonic notice on the day of
          prepayment in the case of Base Rate Loans; and

                    (2) upon not less than three Business Days' prior written or
          telephonic notice in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans;

in each case given to Administrative Agent by the Company by 12:00 p.m. (Local
Time) on the date required and, if given by telephone, promptly confirmed in
writing to Administrative Agent (and Administrative Agent will promptly transmit
such telephonic or original notice for Term Loans by telefacsimile or telephone
to each Lender). Upon the giving of any such notice, the principal amount of the
Loans specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the prepayment
date specified therein. Any such voluntary prepayment shall be applied as
specified in Section 2.12(a).

          (b) Prepayment Premium. In the event that any Term Loan is voluntarily
prepaid on or after the first anniversary of the Closing Date but prior to the
third anniversary of the Closing Date, Company shall pay Lenders a prepayment
premium equal to the percentage set forth below opposite the period in which
prepayment is made multiplied by the principal amount of the Term Loans so
prepaid.

          (c) Certain Permitted Term Loan Repurchases.

               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Section 2.10 or any other provision of this Agreement but subject to the terms
of the First Lien Credit Agreement, so long as (i) there is no Default, (ii)
there is no Event of Default and (iii) no Default or Event of Default would
result therefrom, the Company may repurchase outstanding Term Loans on the
following basis:

               (i) Company may repurchase all or any portion of its Term Loans
     of one or more Lenders, who elect in their sole discretion to sell the
     same, pursuant to an Assignment Agreement, between Company and such Lender
     or Lenders in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $15,000,000 with
     respect to all such repurchases pursuant to this clause (i); provided that,
     with respect to such repurchases, Company shall simultaneously provide a
     copy of such Assignment Agreement and any other agreements between Company
     and such Lender with respect to such repurchase to Administrative Agent and
     Syndication Agent;

               (ii) In addition, Company may make one or more offers (each, an
     "Offer") to repurchase all or any portion of its Term Loans (such Term
     Loans, the "Offer Loans") of Lenders, provided, (A) Company delivers a
     notice of such Offer to Administrative Agent and all Lenders no later than
     noon (New York City time) at least five Business Days in advance of a
     proposed consummation date of such Offer indicating (1) the last date on
     which such Offer may be accepted, (2) the maximum dollar amount of the
     Offer, (3) the repurchase price per dollar of principal amount of such
     Offer Loans at which Company is willing to repurchase the Offer Loans
     (which, in the case of Euro Term Loans, shall be converted to Euro based on
     the Spot Exchange Rate as of the date the Offer is made) and (4) the
     instructions, consistent with this Section 2.10(c) with respect to the
     Offer (which shall be reasonably acceptable to Company, Administrative
     Agent and Syndication Agent), that a Lender must follow in order to have
     its Offer Loans repurchased; (B) the maximum dollar amount of the Offer
     shall be no less than an aggregate $1,000,000; (C) Company shall hold the
     Offer open for a minimum period of two Business Days; (D) a Lender who
     elects to participate in the Offer may choose to tender all or part of such
     Lender's Offer Loans; and (E) the Offer shall be made to Lenders holding
     the Offer Loans on a pro rata basis in accordance with their Pro Rata
     Shares; provided,


                                       23

<PAGE>

     further that, if any Lender elects not to participate in the Offer, either
     in whole or in part, the amount of such Lender's Offer Loans not being
     tendered shall be excluded in calculating the pro rata amount applicable to
     the balance of such Offer Loans;

               (iii) With respect to all repurchases made by Company pursuant to
     this Section 2.10(c), (A) Company shall pay all accrued and unpaid
     interest, if any, on the repurchased Term Loans to the date of repurchase
     of such Term Loans, (B) the repurchase of such Term Loans by Company shall
     not be taken into account in the calculation of Consolidated Excess Cash
     Flow, (C) Company shall have provided to all Lenders all information that,
     together with any previously provided information, would satisfy the
     requirements of Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act with respect to an offer by
     Company to repurchase securities registered under the Securities Act of
     1933 (whether or not such securities are outstanding) as if such offer was
     being made as of the date of such repurchase of Term Loans from a Lender
     and (D) such repurchases shall not be deemed to be voluntary prepayments
     pursuant to this Section 2.10, Section 2.12 or 2.13 hereunder except that
     the amount of the Loans so repurchased shall be applied on a pro rata basis
     to reduce the scheduled remaining installments of principal on such Term
     Loan; and

               (iv) Following repurchase by Company pursuant to this Section
     2.10(c), the Term Loans so repurchased shall be deemed cancelled for all
     purposes and no longer outstanding (and may not be resold by Company), for
     all purposes of this Agreement and all other Credit Documents, including,
     but not limited to (A) the making of, or the application of, any payments
     to the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (B) the
     making of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or
     waiver under this Agreement or any other Credit Document or (C) the
     determination of Requisite Lenders, or for any similar or related purpose,
     under this Agreement or any other Credit Document. Any payment made by
     Company in connection with a repurchase permitted by this Section 2.10(c)
     shall not be subject to the provisions of either Section 2.13(a) or Section
     2.14. Failure by Company to make any payment to a Lender required by an
     agreement permitted by this Section 2.10(c) shall not constitute an Event
     of Default under Section 8.1(a).

Notwithstanding any of the provisions set forth in this Agreement to the
contrary, Company, the Lenders and Agents hereby agree that nothing in this
Agreement shall be understood to mean or suggest that the Term Loans constitute
"securities" for purposes of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

     2.11 Mandatory Prepayments. Subject to Section 2.13, the Company shall
apply the following amounts at the following times in the manner described in
Section 2.12(b):

and its Subsidiaries (including any such capital assets acquired in a Permitted
Acquisition), which investment may include the repair, restoration or
replacement of the applicable assets thereof.

          (c) Issuance of Equity Securities. No later than the third Business
Day following the date of receipt by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries of any

issuer is a Subsidiary), to the extent such proceeds are not used to pay
Permitted Acquisition Expenses or, solely in the case of proceeds from
Additional Sponsor Equity, to substantially concurrently pay Consolidated

Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.1(d) calculating the Leverage Ratio)
shall be less than 3.00:1.00, Company shall only be required to apply an amount
equal to 25% of such net proceeds.

          (d) Issuance of Debt. No later than the third Business Day following
the date of receipt by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries of any Cash proceeds
from the incurrence of any Indebtedness of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries
(other than with respect to any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant
to Section 6.1 except Section 6.1(c)(ii)), Company shall apply an amount equal
to 100% of such proceeds (net of underwriting or placement discounts and
commissions and other reasonable costs and expenses associated therewith,
including reasonable legal fees and expenses) in accordance with Section
2.12(b).

          (e) Consolidated Excess Cash Flow. In the event that there shall be
Consolidated Excess Cash Flow after the Closing Date for any Fiscal Year
(commencing with Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2004), Company shall, no later
than one hundred twenty days after the end of such Fiscal Year, apply an amount
equal to 75% of such Consolidated Excess Cash Flow in accordance with Section
2.12(b); provided, during any period in which the Leverage Ratio (determined for
any such period by reference to the most recent Compliance Certificate delivered
pursuant to Section 5.1(d) calculating the Leverage Ratio) shall be less than
3.00:1.00, Company shall only be required to apply an amount equal to 50% of
such Consolidated Excess Cash Flow.

          (f) Prepayment Certificate. Concurrently with any prepayment of the
Loans pursuant to Sections 2.11(a) through 2.11(e), Company shall deliver to
Administrative Agent a certificate of an Authorized Officer demonstrating the
calculation of the amount of the applicable net proceeds or Consolidated Excess
Cash Flow, as the case may be. In the event that Company shall subsequently
determine that the actual amount received exceeded the amount set forth in such
certificate, Company shall promptly apply an amount equal to such excess in
accordance with Section 2.12(b), and Company shall concurrently therewith
deliver to Administrative Agent a certificate of an Authorized Officer
demonstrating the derivation of such excess.

     2.12 Application of Prepayments/Reductions.

          (a) Application of Voluntary Prepayments. Any prepayment of any Term
Loan pursuant to Section 2.10(a) shall be applied as specified by the Company in
the applicable notice of prepayment; provided, if the Company fails to specify
the Loans to which any such prepayment shall be applied, such prepayment shall
be applied to prepay the Dollar Term Loans and the Euro Term Loans on a pro rata
basis (in accordance with the respective outstanding principal amounts thereof).

          (b) Application of Mandatory Prepayments. Any amount required to be
paid pursuant to Sections 2.11(a) through 2.11(e) shall be applied as follows:

               first, to prepay the "Obligations" under (and as defined in) the
     First Lien Credit Agreement to the extent such prepayment is required
     pursuant to the terms thereof;

               second, to prepay the Dollar Term Loans and Euro Term Loans to
     the full extent thereof on a pro rata basis (in accordance with the
     respective outstanding principal amounts thereof); and

               third, any amounts remaining after application in accordance
     herewith may be retained by the Company.

          (c) Waivable Mandatory Prepayment. Anything contained herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, in the event Company is required to make any mandatory
prepayment (a "Waivable Mandatory Prepayment") of the Loans pursuant to clause
"second" of Section (b), not less than three Business Days prior to the date
(the "Required Prepayment Date") on which Company is required to make such
Waivable Mandatory Prepayment, Company shall notify Administrative Agent of the
amount of such prepayment, and Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter
notify each Lender holding an outstanding Loan of the amount of such Lender's
Pro Rata Share of such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment and such


                                       25

<PAGE>

Lender's option to refuse such amount. Each such Lender may exercise such option
by giving written notice to Company and Administrative Agent of its election to
do so on or before the first Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date
(it being understood that any Lender which does not notify Company and
Administrative Agent of its election to exercise such option on or before the
first Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date shall be deemed to have
elected, as of such date, not to exercise such option). On the Required
Prepayment Date, Company shall pay to Administrative Agent an amount equal to
that portion of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment payable to those Lenders that
have elected not to exercise such option, to prepay the Loans of such Lenders
(which prepayment shall be applied to the scheduled installments of principal of
the Loans in accordance with Section 2.12(b)). Company may retain any portion of
the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment not otherwise payable to Lenders hereunder.

          (d) Application of Prepayments of Loans to Base Rate Loans and
Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Considering each Class of Loans being prepaid
separately, any prepayment thereof shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to
the full extent thereof before application to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, in each
case in a manner which minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made
by Company pursuant to Section 2.15(c).

     2.13 General Provisions Regarding Payments.

          (a) All payments by the Company of principal, interest, fees and other
Obligations shall be made in the currency in which such Obligation is
denominated (either Dollars or Euro) in same day funds, without defense, setoff
or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to
Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (Local Time) on the date due at
Administrative Agent's Principal Office for the account of Lenders; funds
received by Administrative Agent after that time on such due date shall be
deemed to have been paid by the Company on the next succeeding Business Day.

          (b) All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan shall
be accompanied by payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being
repaid or prepaid, and all such payments (and, in any event, any payments in
respect of any Loan on a date when interest is due and payable with respect to
such Loan) shall be applied to the payment of interest before application to
principal.

          (c) Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender at
such address as such Lender shall indicate in writing, such Lender's applicable
Pro Rata Share of all payments and prepayments of principal and interest due
hereunder, together with all other amounts due thereto.

          (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions hereof, if any
Conversion/Continuation Notice is withdrawn as to any Affected Lender or if any
Affected Lender makes Base Rate Loans in lieu of its Pro Rata Share of any
Eurocurrency Rate Loans, Administrative Agent shall give effect thereto in
apportioning payments received thereafter.

          (e) Subject to the provisos set forth in the definition of "Interest
Period", whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on
a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next
succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the
computation of the payment of interest hereunder.

          (f) The Company hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to charge the
Company's accounts with Administrative Agent in order to cause timely payment to
be made to Administrative Agent of all principal, interest, fees and expenses
due hereunder (subject to sufficient funds being available in its accounts for
that purpose).

          (g) Administrative Agent may deem any payment by or on behalf of the
Company hereunder that is not made in same day funds prior to 12:00 p.m. (Local
Time) to be a non-conforming payment. Any such payment shall not be deemed to
have been received by Administrative Agent until the later of (i) the time such
funds become available funds, and (ii) the applicable next Business Day.
Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephonic or electronic notice to the
Company and each applicable Lender (confirmed in writing) if any payment is
non-conforming. Any non-conforming payment may constitute or become a Default or
Event of Default in accordance with the terms of Section 8.1(a). Interest shall
continue to accrue on any principal as to which a non-conforming payment is made
until such funds become available funds (but in no event less than the period
from the date of such payment to the next succeeding applicable Business Day) at


                                       26

<PAGE>

the rate determined pursuant to Section 2.7 from the date such amount was due
and payable until the date such amount is paid in full.

          (h) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and not otherwise been
waived, and the maturity of the Obligations shall have been accelerated pursuant
to Section 8.1, all payments or proceeds received by Agents hereunder in respect
of any of the Obligations, shall be applied in accordance with the application
arrangements described in Section 7.2 of the Pledge and Security Agreement.

     2.14 Ratable Sharing. Lenders hereby agree among themselves that, except as
otherwise provided in the Collateral Documents with respect to amounts realized
from the exercise of rights with respect to Liens on the Collateral, if any of
them shall, whether by voluntary or mandatory payment (other than a voluntary or
mandatory payment or prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the
terms hereof), through the exercise of any right of set-off or banker's lien, by
counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Credit
Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash
collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a
proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, fees and other
amounts then due and owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Credit
Documents (collectively, the "Aggregate Amounts Due" to such Lender) which is
greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the
Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such
proportionately greater payment shall (a) notify Administrative Agent and each
other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (b) apply such proportionately
greater payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have
purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by
such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the
other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be
shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them;
provided, if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by
such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the
bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise, those purchases shall
be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be
returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but
without interest. The Company expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement
and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and
all rights of banker's lien, set-off or counterclaim with respect to any and all
monies owing by the Company to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if
that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder.

     2.15 Making or Maintaining Eurocurrency Rate Loans.

          (a) Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate. In the event that
Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be final
and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error), on
any Interest Rate Determination Date with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate
Loans, that by reason of circumstances affecting the applicable interbank market
adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate
applicable to such Loans on the basis provided for in the definition of Adjusted
Eurodollar Rate, Administrative Agent shall on such date give notice (by
telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Company and each Lender
of such determination, whereupon (i) no Loans may be made as, or converted to,
Eurocurrency Rate Loans until such time as Administrative Agent notifies Company
and Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist,
and (ii) any Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice given by the
Company with respect to the Loans in respect of which such determination was
made shall be deemed to be rescinded by the Company.

          (b) Illegality or Impracticability of Eurocurrency Rate Loans. In the
event that on any date any Lender shall have determined (which determination
shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but shall be
made only after consultation with Company and Administrative Agent) that the
making, maintaining or continuation of its Eurocurrency Rate Loans (i) has
become unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any
law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would
conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order
not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would
not be unlawful), or (ii) has become impracticable, as a result of contingencies
occurring after the date hereof which materially and adversely affect the
applicable interbank market or the position of such Lender in that market, then,
and in any such event, such Lender shall be an "Affected Lender" and it shall on
that day give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to
Company and Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice
Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Thereafter
(1) the obligation of the Affected Lender to make Loans as, or to convert Loans
to, Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended until such notice shall be
withdrawn by the Affected Lender, (2) to the extent such determination by the
Affected Lender relates to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan then being requested by
Company pursuant


                                       27

<PAGE>

to a Funding Notice or a Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Affected Lender
shall make such Loan as (or continue such Loan as or convert such Loan to, as
the case may be) a Base Rate Loan, (3) the Affected Lender's obligation to
maintain its outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loans (the "Affected Loans") shall be
terminated at the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Interest Period then
in effect with respect to the Affected Loans or when required by law, (4) the
Affected Loans in Dollars shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans on
the date of such termination, and (5) the Affected Loans in Euro shall be repaid
by the Company on the date of such termination, together with all interest
accrued thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by
an Affected Lender as described above relates to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan then
being requested by the Company pursuant to a Funding Notice or a
Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Company shall have the option, subject to
the provisions of Section 2.15(c), to rescind such Funding Notice or
Conversion/Continuation Notice as to all Lenders by giving notice (by
telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Administrative Agent of
such rescission on the date on which the Affected Lender gives notice of its
determination as described above (which notice of rescission Administrative
Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Except as provided in the
immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this Section 2.15(b) shall affect the
obligation of any Lender other than an Affected Lender to make or maintain Loans
as, or to convert Loans to, Eurocurrency Rate Loans in accordance with the terms
hereof.

          (c) Compensation for Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods.
The Company shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by such Lender
(which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts), for all
reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid by such
Lender to Lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its Eurocurrency Rate
Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by such Lender in connection
with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds but excluding loss of
anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other
than a default by such Lender) a borrowing of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan by the
Company does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Funding Notice or a
telephonic request for borrowing, or a conversion to or continuation of any
Eurocurrency Rate Loan of the Company does not occur on a date specified
therefor in a Conversion/Continuation Notice or a telephonic request for
conversion or continuation; (ii) if any prepayment or other principal payment
of, or any conversion of, any of its Eurocurrency Rate Loans occurs on a date
prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan (including,
without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.10(c) hereof); or (iii) if any
prepayment of any of its Eurocurrency Rate Loans is not made on any date
specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Company.

          (d) Booking of Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Any Lender may make, carry or
transfer Eurocurrency Rate Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its branch
offices or the office of an Affiliate of such Lender.

          (e) Assumptions Concerning Funding of Eurocurrency Rate Loans.
Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 2.15 and under
Section 2.16 shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded each of its
relevant Eurocurrency Rate Loans through the purchase of a Eurocurrency deposit
bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to clause (i) of the definition
of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such
Eurocurrency Rate Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest
Period and through the transfer of such Eurodollar deposit from an offshore
office of such Lender to a domestic office of such Lender in the United States
of America; provided, however, each Lender may fund each of its Eurocurrency
Rate Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be
utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section
2.15 and under Section 2.16.

     2.16 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.

          (a) Compensation For Increased Costs and Taxes. Subject to the
provisions of Section 2.17 (which shall be controlling with respect to the
matters covered thereby), in the event that any Lender shall determine (which
determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding
upon all parties hereto) that any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation
or order, or any change therein or in the interpretation, administration or
application thereof (including the introduction of any new law, treaty or
governmental rule, regulation or order), or any determination of a court or
governmental authority, in each case that becomes effective after the date
hereof (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on the
Closing Date), or after the effective date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant
to which such Lender became a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), and
with respect to any Lender that changes its lending office, after the date of
such change in lending office, or compliance by such Lender with any guideline,
request or directive issued or made after the date hereof by any central bank or
other governmental or quasi-governmental authority (whether or not having the
force of law): (i) subjects such Lender (or its applicable lending office) to
any additional Tax (other than any


                                       28

<PAGE>

Excluded Tax) with respect to this Agreement or any of the Credit Documents or
any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or any payments to such Lender
(or its applicable lending office) of principal, interest, fees or any other
amount payable hereunder; (ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve
(including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve),
special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against
assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or
advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of
funds by, any office of such Lender (other than any such reserve or other
requirements with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Loans that are reflected in the
definition of Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate); or (iii) imposes any other condition
(other than with respect to a Tax matter) on or affecting such Lender (or its
applicable lending office) or its obligations hereunder or the London interbank
market or the European interbank market; and the result of any of the foregoing
is to increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making or
maintaining Loans hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by
such Lender (or its applicable lending office) with respect thereto; then, in
any such case, Company shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon receipt of the
statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts
(in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating,
interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as
may be necessary to compensate such Lender for any such increased cost or
reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder. Such Lender shall deliver
to Company (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting
forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed
to such Lender under this Section 2.16(a), which statement shall be conclusive
and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

          (b) Capital Adequacy Adjustment. In the event that any Lender shall
have determined that the adoption, effectiveness, phase-in or applicability
after the Closing Date of any law, rule or regulation (or any provision thereof)
regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein or in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable
agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance
by any Lender (or its applicable lending office) with any guideline, request or
directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of
any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would
have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or
any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of, or with reference
to, such Lender's Loans or participations therein or other obligations hereunder
with respect to the Loans to a level below that which such Lender or such
controlling corporation could have achieved but for such adoption,
effectiveness, phase-in, applicability, change or compliance (taking into
consideration the policies of such Lender or such controlling corporation with
regard to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within five Business Days
after receipt by Company from such Lender of the statement referred to in the
next sentence, Company shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Lender or such controlling corporation on an
after-tax basis for such reduction. Such Lender shall deliver to Company (with a
copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable
detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under
this Section 2.16(b), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all
parties hereto absent manifest error.

     2.17 Taxes; Withholding, etc.

          (a) Payments to Be Free and Clear. All sums payable by any Credit
Party hereunder and under the other Credit Documents shall (except to the extent
required by law) be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or
withholding on account of, any Tax (other than any Excluded Tax) imposed,
levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or within the United States of
America or any political subdivision in or of the United States of America or
any other jurisdiction from or to which a payment is made by or on behalf of any
Credit Party or by any federation or organization of which the United States of
America or any such jurisdiction is a member at the time of payment.

          (b) Withholding of Taxes. If any Credit Party or any other Person is
required by law to pay or make any deduction or withholding on account of any
Tax from any sum paid or payable by any Credit Party to Administrative Agent or
any Lender under any of the Credit Documents: (i) Company shall notify
Administrative Agent of any such requirement or any change in any such
requirement as soon as Company becomes aware of it; (ii) Company shall pay any
such Tax before the date on which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be
made (if the liability to pay is imposed on any Credit Party) for its own
account or (if that liability is imposed on Administrative Agent or such Lender,
as the case may be) on behalf of and in the name of Administrative Agent or such
Lender; (iii) except with respect to any Excluded Tax, the sum payable by such
Credit Party in respect of which the relevant deduction, withholding or payment
is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the
making of that deduction, withholding or payment, Administrative Agent or such
Lender, as the case may be, receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it
would have received had no such deduction, withholding or payment been required
or made; and (iv) within thirty days after paying any sum from which


                                       29

<PAGE>

it is required by law to make any deduction or withholding, and within thirty
days after the due date of payment of any Tax which it is required by clause
(ii) above to pay, Company shall deliver to Administrative Agent evidence
satisfactory to the other affected parties of such deduction, withholding or
payment and of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other authority;
provided, no such additional amount shall be required to be paid to any Lender
under clause (iii) above except to the extent that any change in any applicable
law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the
interpretation, administration or application thereof after the date hereof (in
the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on the Closing
Date) or after the effective date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which
such Lender became a Lender (in the case of each other Lender) in any such
requirement for a deduction, withholding or payment as is mentioned therein
shall result in an increase in the rate of such deduction, withholding or
payment from that in effect at the date hereof or at the date of such Assignment
Agreement, as the case may be, in respect of payments to such Lender. Moreover,
if any Taxes (other than any Excluded Taxes) are directly asserted against
Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to any payments under any Credit
Document, such payee may pay such Taxes, and, upon receipt of reasonably
satisfactory documentation evidencing such payment, the Credit Parties shall
promptly pay such additional amounts (including, without limitation, any
penalties, interest or reasonable expenses) as may be necessary in order that
the net amount received by such payee after the payment of such Taxes (including
any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such payee would
have received had no such Taxes been asserted; provided that Administrative
Agent and each Lender shall use reasonable efforts, to the extent consistent
with applicable laws and regulations, to minimize to the extent possible any
such Taxes if they can do so without material cost or regulatory disadvantage;
and provided further that no additional amount shall be required to be paid to
any Lender under this sentence except to the extent that any change in the law
(including any administrative or judicial interpretation thereof) under which
the liability for such Taxes arises after the date hereof (in the case of each
Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on the Closing Date) or after the
effective date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which such Lender became
a Lender (in the case of each other Lender) shall result in an increase in the
amount or rate of such Tax from those in effect at the date hereof or at the
date of such Assignment Agreement, as the case may be.

          (c) Evidence of Exemption From U.S. Withholding Tax. (i) Each Lender
with Term Loan Exposure that is not a United States Person (as such term is
defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) for U.S. federal
income tax purposes (a "Non-U.S. Lender") shall deliver to Administrative Agent
for transmission to Company, on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of
each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on the Closing Date) or on or
prior to the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a
Lender (in the case of each other Lender), upon designation of a new lending
office and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of
Company or Administrative Agent (each in the reasonable exercise of its
discretion), (1) two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or
W-8ECI (or any successor forms), properly completed and duly executed by such
Lender, and such other documentation reasonably requested by Company, to
establish that such Lender is not subject to or is subject to a reduced rate of
deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any
payments to such Lender of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable
under any of the Credit Documents, or (2) if such Lender is not a "bank" or
other Person described in Section 881(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and
cannot establish that it is not subject to deduction or withholding of United
States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of
interest payable under any of the Credit Documents pursuant to clause (1) above,
a Certificate re Non-Bank Status together with two original copies of the
appropriate Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 (or any successor form), properly
completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation
reasonably requested by Company, to establish that such Lender is not subject to
deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to
such payments.

          (ii) Each Lender that is a United States Person (as such term in
     defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) for U.S.
     federal income tax purposes and is not an exempt recipient (as such term is
     defined in Section 6049(b)(4) and the U.S. Treasury regulations thereunder
     (a "U.S. Lender") shall deliver to Administrative Agent for transmission to
     Company, on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each Lender listed
     on the signature pages hereof on the Closing Date) or on or prior to the
     date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in
     the case of each other Lender), two original copies of Internal Revenue
     Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms), properly completed and duly
     executed by such Lender, and such other documentation reasonably requested
     by Company or Administrative Agent, to establish that such Lender is not
     subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal backup
     withholding tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of principal,
     interest, fees or other amounts payable under any of the Credit Documents.

          (iii) Each Lender hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial
     delivery by such Lender of such forms, certificates or other evidence
     required to be provided by subsection (i) or (ii) of this Section 2.17(c),
     whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms,
     certificates or other evidence obsolete or


                                       30

<PAGE>

     inaccurate in any material respect, that such Lender shall promptly deliver
     to Administrative Agent for transmission to Company two new original copies
     of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-9, or a Certificate re
     Non-Bank Status and two original copies of the appropriate Internal Revenue
     Service Form W-8 (or applicable successor form), as the case may be,
     properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other
     documentation reasonably requested by Company or Administrative Agent, to
     confirm or establish that such Lender is not subject to or is subject to a
     reduced rate of deduction or withholding of United States federal income
     tax with respect to payments to such Lender under the Credit Documents, or
     notify Administrative Agent and Company of its inability to deliver any
     such forms, certificates or other evidence.

          (iv) Company shall not be required to pay any additional amount to any
     Lender under Section 2.17(b)(iii) and shall withhold from any payment to
     such Lender the amount equal to the applicable withholding tax required by
     law if such Lender shall have failed (1) to deliver the forms, certificates
     or other evidence referred to in this Section 2.17(c), or (2) to notify
     Administrative Agent and Company of its inability to deliver any such
     forms, certificates or other evidence, as the case may be; provided, if
     such Lender shall have satisfied the requirements of this Section 2.17(c)
     on the Closing Date or on the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to
     which it became a Lender, as applicable, nothing in this subsection (iv) of
     Section 2.17(c) shall relieve Company of its obligation to pay any
     additional amounts pursuant this Section 2.17 in the event that, 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 Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver
     forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the
     fact that such Lender is not subject to withholding as described herein.

          (d) Tax Refund. (i) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender
determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund (whether by
way of a direct payment or by offset) of any Taxes as to which it has been
indemnified by the Company pursuant to Section 2.16 or with respect to which the
Company has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay
over the amount of such refund to the Company (but only to the extent of
indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Company with respect
to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of
the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any
interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such
refund); provided, however, that the Company, upon the request of the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the
Company (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant
Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event
the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such
Governmental Authority.

          (ii) If a Lender which has received indemnification from the Company
     pursuant to Section 2.16 or with respect to which the Company has paid
     additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall become aware that it
     is entitled to a refund (whether by way of a direct payment or by offset)
     of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by or has received
     additional amounts from the Company, such Lender shall, at the expense of
     the Company, reasonably cooperate with the Company in seeking to obtain
     such refund. (iii) Nothing contained in this Section 2.17 shall require the
     Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or
     any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to
     the Company or any other Person.

     2.18 Obligation to Mitigate. Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as
practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible for administering its
Loans, becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a
condition that would cause such Lender to become an Affected Lender or that
would entitle such Lender to receive payments under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17,
it will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such
Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable
efforts to (a) make, issue, fund or maintain its Credit Extensions, including
any Affected Loans, through another office of such Lender, or (b) take such
other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the
circumstances which would cause such Lender to be an Affected Lender would cease
to exist or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid
to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17 would be materially
reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making,
funding or maintaining of such Loans through such other office or in accordance
with such other measures would not otherwise adversely affect such Loans or the
interests of such Lender; provided, such Lender will not be obligated to utilize
such other office pursuant to this Section 2.18 unless Company agrees to pay all
incremental expenses incurred by such Lender as a result of utilizing such other
office as described in clause (a) above. A certificate as to the amount of any
such expenses payable by Company


                                       31

<PAGE>

pursuant to this Section 2.18 (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for
requesting such amount) submitted by such Lender to the Company (with a copy to
Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

     2.19 Removal or Replacement of a Lender. Anything contained herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, in the event that: (a)(i) any Lender (an
"Increased-Cost Lender") shall give notice to the Company that such Lender is an
Affected Lender or that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under
Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17 or the Company shall have established to the
reasonable satisfaction of Administrative Agent and such Lender that such Lender
is entitled to such payments, (ii) the circumstances which have caused such
Lender to be an Affected Lender or which entitle such Lender to receive such
payments shall remain in effect, and (iii) such Lender shall fail to (x)
withdraw such notice or (y) waive in writing the right to receive applicable
payments, in each of cases (a)(i) and (a)(ii) above, within five Business Days
after Company's request for such withdrawal or waiver; or (b) in connection with
any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with
respect to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 10.5(b), the
consent of Requisite Lenders shall have been obtained but the consent of one or
more of such other Lenders (each a "Non-Consenting Lender") whose consent is
required shall not have been obtained; then, with respect to each such
Increased-Cost Lender or Non-Consenting Lender (the "Terminated Lender"),
Company may, by giving written notice to Administrative Agent and any Terminated
Lender of its election to do so, elect to cause such Terminated Lender (and such
Terminated Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Loans in
full to one or more Eligible Assignees (each a "Replacement Lender") in
accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 and Terminated Lender shall pay
any fees payable thereunder in connection with such assignment; provided, (1) on
the date of such assignment, the Replacement Lender shall pay to Terminated
Lender an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all
outstanding Loans of the Terminated Lender and all accrued but unpaid fees owing
to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.8 (including any prepayment
premiums payable on such Loans pursuant to Section 2.10(b) if the Loans of such
Lender were prepaid on such date); (2) on the date of such assignment, Company
shall pay any amounts payable to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section
2.15(c), 2.16 or 2.17; and (3) in the event such Terminated Lender is a
Non-Consenting Lender, each Replacement Lender shall consent, at the time of
such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Terminated Lender was a
Non-Consenting Lender. Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any
Terminated Lender, such Terminated Lender shall no longer constitute a "Lender"
for purposes hereof; provided, any rights of such Terminated Lender to
indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Terminated Lender.

GSCP has received all of the necessary deliveries, and made, or instructed

required to be approved by any Agent, Requisite Lenders or Lenders, as
applicable on the Closing Date.

     3.2 Additional Conditions to the Credit Extension.

          (a) Conditions Precedent. The obligation of each Lender to make any

     and correct in all material respects;

               (iii) as of the Closing Date, no event shall have occurred and be
     continuing or would result from the consummation of the Credit Extension on
     the Closing Date that would constitute an Event of Default or a Default.

Any Agent or Requisite Lenders shall be entitled, but not obligated to, request
and receive, prior to the making of the Loans, additional information reasonably
satisfactory to the requesting party confirming the satisfaction of any of the
foregoing if, in the good faith judgment of such Agent or Requisite Lenders such
request is warranted under the circumstances.

          (b) Notices. Any Notice shall be executed by an Authorized Officer in
a writing delivered to Administrative Agent. In lieu of delivering a Notice,
Company may give Administrative Agent telephonic notice by the required time of
any proposed borrowing or conversion/continuation, as the case may be; provided

applicable Notice to Administrative Agent on or before the applicable date of
borrowing or continuation/conversion. Neither Administrative Agent nor any
Lender shall incur any liability to Company in acting upon any telephonic notice
referred to above that Administrative Agent believes in good faith to have been
given by a duly authorized officer or other person authorized on behalf of
Company or for otherwise acting in good faith.

SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

     In order to induce Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the

carry out the transactions contemplated thereby, and (c) is qualified to do
business and in good standing in every jurisdiction where its assets are located

     4.2 Capital Stock and Ownership. The Capital Stock of each of Holdings and
its Subsidiaries has been duly authorized and validly issued and is fully paid
and non-assessable. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.2, as of the date hereof,

Securities convertible into, exchangeable for or evidencing the right to
subscribe for or purchase, a membership interest or other Capital Stock of

ownership interest of Holdings and each of its Subsidiaries in their respective
Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date.

     4.3 Due Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance of the
Credit Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part
of each Credit Party that is a party thereto.

     4.4 No Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance by Credit Parties

transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents do not and will not (a)
violate any provision of any law or any governmental rule or regulation
applicable to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, any of the Organizational
Documents of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, or any order, judgment or
decree of any court or other agency of government binding on Holdings or any of
its Subsidiaries except to the extent such violation could not be reasonably
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (b) conflict with, result in a
breach of or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default
under any Contractual Obligation of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries except
to the extent such conflict, breach or default could not reasonably be expected

imposition of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of Holdings or any
of its Subsidiaries (other than any Liens created under any of the Credit

partners or any approval or consent of any Person under any Contractual
Obligation of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, except for such approvals or
consents which will be obtained on or before the Closing Date and disclosed in
writing to Lenders and except for any such approvals or consents the failure of
which to obtain could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. Each Credit Extension constitutes "Permitted Debt" under (and as defined
in) the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture as of the Closing Date.

     4.5 Governmental Consents. The execution, delivery and performance by
Credit Parties of the Credit Documents to which they are parties and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents do not and
will not require any registration with, consent or approval of, or notice to, or
other action to, with or by, any Governmental Authority except for filings and
recordings with respect to the Collateral to be made, or otherwise delivered to
Collateral Agent for filing and/or recordation, as of the Closing Date, and
except for such registrations, consents, approvals, notices or actions the
failure of which to obtain, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     4.6 Binding Obligation. Each Credit Document has been duly executed and
delivered by each Credit Party that is a party thereto and is the legally valid
and binding obligation of such Credit Party, enforceable against such Credit
Party in accordance with its respective terms, except as may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to
or limiting creditors' rights generally or by equitable principles relating to
enforceability.

     4.7 Historical Financial Statements. The Historical Financial Statements
were prepared in conformity with GAAP and fairly present, in all material
respects, the financial position, on a consolidated basis, of the Persons
described in


                                       36

<PAGE>

such financial statements as at the respective dates thereof and the results of
operations and cash flows, on a consolidated basis, of the entities described
therein for each of the periods then ended, subject, in the case of any such
unaudited financial statements, to changes resulting from audit and normal
year-end adjustments. As of the Closing Date, neither Holdings nor any of its
Subsidiaries has any contingent liability or liability for taxes, long-term
lease or unusual forward or long-term commitment that is not reflected in the
Historical Financial Statements or the notes thereto and which in any such case
is material in relation to the business, operations, properties, assets,
condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of Holdings and any of its
Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

and its Subsidiaries for the period of the last Fiscal Quarter of Fiscal Year
2005, through and including Fiscal Year 2010 (the "Projections"), copies of
which have been delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Syndication Agent,
are based on good faith estimates and assumptions believed to be reasonable by
the management of Holdings; provided, the Projections are not to be viewed as
facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by the
Projections may differ from such Projections and that the differences may be
material.

     4.9 No Material Adverse Change. Since September 30, 2005, no event,

ordered, paid or made, or set apart any sum or property for, any Restricted
Junior Payment or agreed to do so except as permitted pursuant to Section 6.5.

     4.11 Adverse Proceedings, etc. There are no Adverse Proceedings,
individually or in the aggregate, that could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries (a) is in
violation of any applicable laws (including Environmental Laws) that,
individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect, or (b) is subject to or in default with respect to any
final judgments, writs, injunctions, decrees, rules or regulations of any court
or any federal, state, municipal or other governmental department, commission,
board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, that,
individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

     4.12 Payment of Taxes. Except as otherwise permitted under Section 5.3, all
tax returns and reports of Holdings and its Subsidiaries required to be filed by
any of them have been timely filed, and all taxes shown on such tax returns to
be due and payable and all assessments, fees and other governmental charges upon
Holdings and its Subsidiaries and upon their respective properties, assets,
income, businesses and franchises which are due and payable have been paid when
due and payable except to the extent failure to do so could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Holdings knows of no proposed tax
assessment against Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries which is not being
actively contested by Holdings or such Subsidiary in good faith and by
appropriate proceedings; provided, such reserves or other appropriate
provisions, if any, as shall be required in conformity with GAAP shall have been
made or provided therefor.

sufficient and legal title to (in the case of fee interests in real property),

Statements referred to in Section 4.7 and in the most recent financial

all such properties and assets are free and clear of Liens.

          (b) Real Estate. As of the Closing Date, Schedule 4.13 contains a
true, accurate and complete list of (i) all Real Estate Assets, and (ii) all
leases, subleases or assignments of leases (together with all amendments,
modifications, supplements, renewals or extensions of any thereof) affecting
each Real Estate Asset of any Credit Party, regardless of whether such Credit
Party is the landlord or tenant (whether directly or as an assignee or successor
in interest) under such lease, sublease or assignment. Each agreement listed in
clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence is in full force and effect
and Holdings does not have knowledge of any default that has occurred and is
continuing thereunder with respect to a


                                       37

<PAGE>

Material Real Estate Asset, and each such agreement constitutes the legally
valid and binding obligation of each applicable Credit Party, enforceable
against such Credit Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement
may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar
laws relating to or limiting creditors' rights generally or by equitable
principles.

     4.14 Environmental Matters. Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries
nor any of their respective Facilities or operations are subject to any
outstanding written order, consent decree or settlement agreement with any
Person relating to any Environmental Law, any Environmental Claim, or any
Hazardous Materials Activity that, individually or in the aggregate, could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are and, to each
of Holdings' and its Subsidiaries' knowledge, have been, no conditions,
occurrences, or Hazardous Materials Activities which could reasonably be
expected to form the basis of an Environmental Claim against Holdings or any of
its Subsidiaries that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither Holdings nor any of its
Subsidiaries nor, to any Credit Party's knowledge, any predecessor of Holdings
or any of its Subsidiaries has filed any notice under any Environmental Law
indicating past or present treatment of Hazardous Materials at any Facility.
Compliance with all current or reasonably foreseeable future requirements
pursuant to or under Environmental Laws could not be reasonably expected to
have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. No event or
condition has occurred or is occurring with respect to Holdings or any of its
Subsidiaries relating to any Environmental Law, any Release of Hazardous
Materials, or any Hazardous Materials Activity which individually or in the
aggregate has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse
Effect.

     4.15 No Defaults. Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries is in
default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations,
covenants or conditions contained in any of its Contractual Obligations, and no
condition exists which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both,
could constitute such a default, except where the consequences, direct or
indirect, of such default or defaults, if any, could not reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     4.16 Material Contracts. All Material Contracts are in full force and
effect and no defaults currently exist thereunder that has had or could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     4.17 Governmental Regulation. Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries
is subject to regulation under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935,
the Federal Power Act or the Investment Company Act of 1940 or under any other
federal or state statute or regulation which may limit its ability to incur
Indebtedness or which may otherwise render all or any portion of the Obligations
unenforceable. Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries is a "registered
investment company" or a company "controlled" by a "registered investment
company" or a "principal underwriter" of a "registered investment company" as
such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.

     4.18 Margin Stock. Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged
principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending
credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. No part of
the proceeds of the Loans made to such Credit Party will be used to purchase or
carry any such margin stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of
purchasing or carrying any such margin stock or for any purpose that violates,
or is inconsistent with, the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

its Subsidiaries or to the knowledge of Holdings and Company, threatened against
any of them, (b) no strike or work stoppage in existence or threatened involving
Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect, and (c) to the knowledge of Holdings and Company, no

matter specified in clause (a), (b) or (c) above, either individually or in the
aggregate) such as is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     4.20 Employee Benefit Plans. Except as, individually or in the aggregate,
could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, Holdings,
each of its Subsidiaries and each of their respective ERISA Affiliates are in
substantial compliance with all applicable provisions and requirements of ERISA
and the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations and published interpretations
thereunder with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan, and have substantially
performed all their obligations under each Employee Benefit Plan. Each Employee
Benefit Plan which is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal
Revenue Service indicating that such Employee Benefit Plan is so qualified and
to the Company's knowledge, nothing has occurred subsequent to the issuance of
such determination letter which, if not corrected, would cause such Employee
Benefit Plan to lose its qualified status. No liability to the PBGC (other than
required premium payments), has been or is reasonably expected to be incurred by
Holdings, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates. No ERISA
Event that would constitute an Event of Default under Section 8.1(k) has
occurred or is reasonably expected to occur. Except to the extent required under
Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code or similar state laws, no Employee
Benefit Plan provides health or welfare benefits (through the purchase of
insurance or otherwise) for any retired or former employee of Holdings, any of
its Subsidiaries or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates. The present value
of the aggregate benefit liabilities under each Pension Plan sponsored,
maintained or contributed to by Holdings, any of its Subsidiaries or any of
their ERISA Affiliates, (determined as of the end of the most recent plan year
on the basis of the actuarial assumptions specified for funding purposes in the
most recent actuarial valuation for such Pension Plan), did not exceed the
aggregate current value of the assets of such Pension Plan by more than
$500,000. To the Company's knowledge, as of the most recent valuation date for
each Multiemployer Plan for which the actuarial report is available, the
potential liability of Holdings, its Subsidiaries and their respective ERISA
Affiliates for a complete withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan (within the
meaning of Section 4203 of ERISA), when aggregated with such potential liability
for a complete withdrawal from all Multiemployer Plans, based on information
available pursuant to Section 4221(e) of ERISA does not exceed $500,000.
Holdings, each of its Subsidiaries and each of their ERISA Affiliates have
complied in all material respects with the requirements of Section 515 of ERISA
with respect to each Multiemployer Plan and are not in material "default" (as
defined in Section 4219(c)(5) of ERISA) with respect to payments to a
Multiemployer Plan. As of the date hereof, Company and its Subsidiaries have
made full payment when due of all required contributions to any Foreign Plan.

     4.21 Certain Fees. Except as contemplated by Section 2.8, no broker's or
finder's fee or commission will be payable with respect hereto or any of the
transactions contemplated hereby.

     4.22 Solvency. Each Credit Party (other than Autocam-Har, Inc., as a result
of Franklin Park Lease Termination Charges) is and, upon the incurrence of any
Obligation by such Credit Party on any date on which this representation and
warranty is made, will be, Solvent.

     4.23 First Lien Credit Agreement and Other Agreements. The Company has
heretofore delivered to the Administrative Agent true, correct and complete
copies of the First Lien Credit Documents, all exhibits and schedules thereto,
the Management Services Agreement and the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture.

     4.24 Compliance with Statutes, etc. Each of Holdings and its Subsidiaries
is in compliance with all applicable statutes, regulations and orders of, and
all applicable restrictions imposed by, all Governmental Authorities, in respect
of the conduct of its business and the ownership of its property (including
compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws with respect to any Real
Estate Asset or governing its business and the requirements of any permits
issued under such Environmental Laws with respect to any such Real Estate Asset
or the operations of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries), except such
non-compliance that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

     4.25 Disclosure. No representation or warranty of any Credit Party
contained in any Credit Document or in any other documents, certificates or
written statements furnished to Lenders by or on behalf of Holdings or any of
its Subsidiaries (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished
in writing) for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby at
the time such representation or warranty is made contains any untrue statement
of a material fact or, considering such representations and warranties as a
whole, omits to state a material fact (known to Holdings or Company, in the case
of any document not furnished by either of them) necessary in order to make the
statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the
circumstances in which the same were made. Any projections and pro forma
financial information contained in such materials are based upon good faith
estimates and assumptions believed by Holdings or Company to be reasonable at
the time made, it being recognized by Lenders that such projections as to future
events are not


                                       39

<PAGE>

to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods
covered by any such projections may differ materially from the projected
results. There are no facts known to Holdings or Company (other than matters of
a general economic nature) that, individually or in the aggregate, could
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and that have not
been disclosed herein or in such other documents, certificates and statements
furnished to Lenders for use in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby (including the Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2005 filed by
the Company with the Securities Exchange Commission).

     4.26 Second Lien Claims. The Obligations constitute "Second Lien Claims"
under the Intercreditor Agreement.

     4.27 Quarterly Financials. The Company's quarterly financial statements for
the quarterly period ended after September 30, 2005 were prepared in conformity
with GAAP and fairly present in all material respects, the financial position,
on a consolidated basis, of the Persons described in such financial statements
as at the respective dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows,
on a consolidated basis, of the entities described therein for each of the
periods then ended, subject to changes resulting from audit and normal year-end
adjustments that individually or in the aggregate do not constitute or evidence
a Material Adverse Effect.

Obligations, each Credit Party shall perform, and shall cause each of its
Subsidiaries to perform, all covenants in this Section 5.

from those used in the preparation of the Historical Financial Statements, the
consolidated financial statements of Holdings and its Subsidiaries delivered
pursuant to Section 5.1(b) or 5.1(c) will differ in any material respect from
the consolidated financial statements that would have been delivered pursuant to
such subdivisions had no such change in accounting principles and policies been
made, then, together with the first delivery of such financial statements after
such change, one or more statements of reconciliation for all such prior
financial statements in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent;

legal and perfected security interest in all the Collateral as contemplated in
the Collateral Documents. Company also agrees promptly to notify Collateral

Agent or any Lender.

     5.2 Existence. Except as otherwise permitted under Section 6.9, each Credit
Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, at all times preserve
and keep in full force and effect its existence and all rights and franchises,
licenses and permits material to its business; provided, no Credit Party or any
of its Subsidiaries shall be required to preserve any such existence, right or
franchise, licenses and permits if such Person's board of directors (or similar
governing body) shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer
desirable in the conduct of the business of such Person, and that the loss
thereof could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     5.3 Payment of Taxes and Claims. Each Credit Party will, and will cause
each of its Subsidiaries to, pay all material Taxes imposed upon it or any of
its properties or assets or in respect of any of its income, businesses or
franchises before any penalty or fine accrues thereon, and all claims (including
claims for labor, services, materials and supplies) for sums that have become
due and payable and that by law have or may become a Lien upon any of its
properties or assets, prior to the time when any penalty or fine shall be
incurred with respect thereto; provided, no such Tax or claim need be paid if it
is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings promptly instituted
and diligently conducted, so long as (a) adequate reserve or other appropriate
provision, as shall be required in conformity with GAAP shall have been made
therefor, and (b) in the case of a Tax or claim which has or may become a Lien
against any of the Collateral, such contest proceedings conclusively operate to
stay the sale of any portion of the Collateral to satisfy such Tax or claim. No
Credit Party will, nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, file or
consent to the filing of any consolidated income tax return with any Person
(other than Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or Parent, provided that Parent
and each Credit Party shall have agreed in a Credit Document (in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent and Syndication Agent)
that Parent shall be subject to limitations on its activities substantially
equivalent to those set forth in Section 6.14 (as applied to Parent rather than
Holdings)(such Credit Document being referred to herein as the "Parent Credit
Document")).

     5.4 Maintenance of Properties. Each Credit Party will, and will cause each
of its Subsidiaries to, maintain or cause to be maintained in good repair,
working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, all material
properties


                                       42

<PAGE>

used or useful in the business of Holdings and its Subsidiaries and from time to
time will make or cause to be made all appropriate repairs, renewals and
replacements thereof.

     5.5 Insurance. Holdings will maintain or cause to be maintained, with
financially sound and reputable insurers, such public liability insurance, third
party property damage insurance, business interruption insurance and casualty
insurance with respect to liabilities, losses or damage in respect of the
assets, properties and businesses of Holdings and its Subsidiaries as may
customarily be carried or maintained under similar circumstances by Persons of
established reputation engaged in similar businesses, in each case in such
amounts (giving effect to self-insurance), with such deductibles, covering such
risks and otherwise on such terms and conditions as shall be customary for such
Persons. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Holdings will
maintain or cause to be maintained (a) flood insurance with respect to each
Flood Hazard Property that is located in a community that participates in the
National Flood Insurance Program, in each case in compliance with any applicable
regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and (b)
replacement value casualty insurance on the Collateral under such policies of
insurance, with such insurance companies, in such amounts, with such
deductibles, and covering such risks as are at all times carried or maintained
under similar circumstances by Persons of established reputation engaged in
similar businesses. Each such policy of insurance shall (i) name Collateral
Agent, on behalf of Lenders as an additional insured thereunder as its interests
may appear and (ii) in the case of each casualty insurance policy, contain a
loss payable clause or endorsement, satisfactory in form and substance to
Collateral Agent, that names Collateral Agent, on behalf of Lenders as the loss
payee thereunder for any covered loss thereunder in excess of $500,000 and
provides for at least thirty days' prior written notice to Collateral Agent of
any modification or cancellation of such policy.

     5.6 Inspections. Each Credit Party will, and will cause each of its
Subsidiaries to, permit any authorized representatives designated by any Lender
to visit and inspect any of the properties of any Credit Party and any of its
respective Subsidiaries, to inspect, copy and take extracts from its and their
financial and accounting records, and to discuss its and their affairs, finances
and accounts with its and their officers and independent public accountants, all
upon reasonable notice and at such reasonable times during normal business hours
and as often as may reasonably be requested; provided that any such
representatives not employed by such Lender shall have been advised by such
Lender of and agreed to comply with Section 10.17. If such visit and inspection
occurs at a time when no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, such visit and inspection shall be at the expense of such Lender
and, if such visit and inspection occur at a time when a Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, such visit and inspection shall be paid
by Company pursuant to Section 10.2. By this provision, each Credit Party
authorizes its independent public accountants to discuss the affairs, finances
and accounts of such Credit Party and its Subsidiaries, provided, such Credit
Party may, if its so chooses, be present and participate in any such discussion.

     5.7 Lenders Meetings. Holdings and Company will, upon the request of
Administrative Agent or Requisite Lenders, participate in a meeting of
Administrative Agent and Lenders once during each Fiscal Year to be held at
Company's corporate offices (or at such other location as may be agreed to by
Company and Administrative Agent) at such time as may be agreed to by Company
and Administrative Agent.

     5.8 Compliance with Laws. Each Credit Party will comply, and shall cause
each of its Subsidiaries and all other Persons, if any, on or occupying any
Facilities to comply, with the requirements of all applicable laws, rules,
regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority (including all
Environmental Laws), noncompliance with which could reasonably be expected to
have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

     5.9 Environmental.

          (a) Environmental Disclosure. Holdings will deliver to Administrative
Agent and Lenders the following information and materials, in each case to the
extent that they relate to circumstances that, individually or in the aggregate,
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect:

               (i) as soon as practicable following receipt thereof, copies of
     all environmental audits, investigations, analyses and reports of any kind
     or character, whether prepared by personnel of Holdings or any of its
     Subsidiaries or by independent consultants, governmental authorities or any

          (b) Certain Calculations. With respect to any period during which a
Permitted Acquisition involving the payment by Holdings and its Subsidiaries of
consideration in excess of $500,000 or an Asset Sale involving the receipt by
Holdings and its Subsidiaries of gross proceeds in excess of $500,000 has
occurred (each, a "Subject Transaction"), for purposes of determining compliance
with the financial covenant set forth in this Section 6.8, Consolidated Adjusted
EBITDA shall be calculated with respect to such period on a pro forma basis
(including pro forma adjustments arising out of events which are directly
attributable to a specific transaction, are factually supportable and are
expected to have a continuing impact, in each case determined on a basis
consistent with Article 11 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities
Act and as interpreted by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
which would include cost savings resulting from head count reduction, closure of
facilities and similar restructuring charges, which pro forma adjustments shall
be certified by the chief financial officer of Parent) using the historical
audited financial statements of any business so acquired or to be acquired or
sold or to be sold and the consolidated financial statements of Holdings and its
Subsidiaries which shall be reformulated as if such Subject Transaction, and any
Indebtedness incurred or repaid in connection therewith, had been consummated or
incurred or repaid at the beginning of such period (and assuming that such
Indebtedness bears interest during any portion of the applicable measurement
period prior to the relevant acquisition at the weighted average of the interest
rates applicable to outstanding Loans incurred during such period).

     6.9 Fundamental Changes; Disposition of Assets; Acquisitions. No Credit
Party shall, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into any
transaction of merger or consolidation, or liquidate, wind-up or dissolve itself

transaction or a series of transactions, all or any part of its business, assets
or property of any kind whatsoever, whether real, personal or mixed and whether
tangible or intangible, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or acquire by
purchase or otherwise (other than purchases or other acquisitions of inventory,

any Guarantor Domestic Subsidiary, or be liquidated, wound up or dissolved, or

leased, transferred or otherwise disposed of, in one transaction or a series of
transactions, to Company or any Guarantor Domestic Subsidiary; provided, in the

Autocam France or with or into any Wholly Owned Subsidiary of Autocam France, or
be liquidated, wound up or dissolved, or all or any part of its business,
property or assets may be conveyed, sold, leased, transferred or otherwise
disposed of, in one transaction or a series of transactions, to Autocam France
or to any Wholly Owned Subsidiary of Autocam France; provided, in the case of
such a merger, Autocam France or the Wholly Owned Subsidiary of Autocan France,
as the case may be, shall be the continuing or surviving Person;

          (c) sales or other dispositions of assets that do not constitute Asset
Sales;

          (d) Asset Sales, the proceeds of which (valued at the principal amount

series of related Asset Sales and (ii) when aggregated with the proceeds of all
other Asset Sales made within the same Fiscal Year, are less than $11,500,000;
provided (1) the


                                       53

<PAGE>

consideration received for such assets shall be in an amount at least equal to
the fair market value thereof (determined in good faith by the board of
directors of Company (or similar governing body)), (2) no less than 75% thereof
shall be paid in Cash or in securities, notes or other obligations converted
into Cash within 30 days of receipt and (3) the Net Asset Sale Proceeds thereof

          (e) disposals of obsolete, worn out or surplus property or disposals

allow for investments by foreign nationals, in either case, to the extent
required by applicable law;

          (i) sales of receivables and related rights under Receivables

Permitted Lien.

     6.10 Disposal of Subsidiary Interests. Except for (i) Liens created under
any of the Credit Documents and the First Lien Credit Documents and (ii) any
sale of all of its interests in the Capital Stock of any of its Subsidiaries in
compliance with the provisions of Section 6.9, no Credit Party shall, nor shall

nationals, in either case, if required by applicable law. Any Subsidiary that

deemed a wholly-owned Subsidiary for purposes of this Agreement.

     6.11 Sales and Lease-Backs. Except for leases permitted pursuant to Section
6.1(i), no Credit Party shall, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to,
directly or indirectly, become or remain liable as lessee or as a guarantor or
other surety with respect to any lease of any property (whether real, personal
or mixed), whether now owned or hereafter acquired, which such Credit Party (a)
has sold or transferred or is to sell or to transfer to any other Person (other
than Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries), or (b) intends to use for
substantially the same purpose as any other property which has been or is to be
sold or transferred by such Credit Party to any Person (other than Holdings or
any of its Subsidiaries) in connection with such lease (it being acknowledged
that equipment and other personal property first acquired in the ordinary course
of business of Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with, and not more
than 180 days prior to the commencement of, a Capital Lease or operating lease
otherwise permitted by this Agreement is not considered a sale and lease-back
governed by this Section 6.11 or an Asset Sale); provided, that Company and its
Subsidiaries may become and remain liable as lessee, guarantor or other surety
with respect to any such lease if and to the extent that the applicable lessee,
guarantor or other surety would not be prohibited under Section 6.1 from
entering into, and remaining liable under, such lease. The sale and lease back
transaction shall be deemed to be (i) the sale of the asset subject to such
transaction (and any Net Asset Sale Proceeds arising from such sale shall be
subject to application by the Company or its Subsidiaries pursuant to Section
2.11(a)), and (ii) the incurrence of Indebtedness in a principal amount equal to
the amount of any liability for the


                                       54

<PAGE>

lease shown (or required to be shown) on the consolidated balance sheet of the
Company and its Subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP.

     6.12 Transactions with Shareholders and Affiliates. No Credit Party shall,
nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter
into or permit to exist any transaction (including the purchase, sale, lease or
exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with any holder of 10%
or more of any class of Capital Stock of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or
with any Affiliate of Holdings or of any such holder, on terms taken as a whole
that are less favorable to Holdings or that Subsidiary, as the case may be, than
those available at the time from a Person who is not such a holder or Affiliate;
provided, the foregoing restriction shall not apply to (a) any transaction
between Company and any Guarantor Subsidiary; (b) reasonable and customary fees
paid to members of the board of directors (or similar governing body) of

may be consented to by Requisite Lenders.

     6.14 Permitted Activities of Holdings. Holdings shall not (a) incur,
directly or indirectly, any Indebtedness or any other obligation or liability
whatsoever other than the Indebtedness and obligations under or in connection
with the Credit Documents, the Management Services Agreement, the Senior
Subordinated Note Indenture and the First Lien Credit Documents (and any related
Credit Documents as defined therein); (b) create or suffer to exist any Lien
upon any property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired by it other than the
Liens created under the Collateral Documents to which it is a party or permitted

Company and, indirectly, Company's Subsidiaries, (ii) performing its obligations
and activities incidental thereto under the Credit Documents, the Management
Services Agreement, the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture and the First Lien
Credit Documents (and any related Credit Documents as defined therein); and
(iii) making Restricted Junior Payments and Investments to the extent permitted

amendment, restatement, supplement or other modification to, or waiver of, any
of its material rights under the First Lien Credit Agreement or any related
document, or make any payment consistent with an amendment thereof or change

terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.

     6.16 Amendments or Waivers with respect to Subordinated Indebtedness. No
Credit Party shall, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, amend or
otherwise change the terms of any Subordinated Indebtedness, or make any payment
consistent with an amendment thereof or change thereto, if the effect of such
amendment or change is to increase the interest rate on such Subordinated
Indebtedness, change (to earlier dates) any dates upon which payments of
principal or interest are due thereon, change any event of default or condition
to an event of default with respect thereto (other than to eliminate any such
event of default or increase any grace period related thereto), change the

subordination provisions of such Subordinated Indebtedness (or of any guaranty
thereof), or if the effect of such amendment or change, together with all other
amendments or changes made, is to increase materially the obligations of the
obligor thereunder or to confer any additional rights on the holders of such
Subordinated Indebtedness (or a trustee or other representative on their behalf)
which would be adverse to any Credit Party or Lenders.

to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Beneficiaries the due and
punctual payment in full of all Obligations when the same shall become due,
whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration,
demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the
operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11
U.S.C. Section 362(a)) (collectively, the "Guaranteed Obligations").

     7.2 Contribution by Guarantors. All Guarantors desire to allocate among
themselves (collectively, the "Contributing Guarantors"), in a fair and
equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Guaranty. Accordingly, in
the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor (a
"Funding Guarantor") under this Guaranty such that its Aggregate Payments
exceeds its Fair Share as of such date, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled
to a contribution from each of the other Contributing Guarantors in an amount
sufficient to cause each Contributing Guarantor's Aggregate Payments to equal
its Fair Share as of such date. "Fair Share" means, with respect to a
Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a)
the ratio of (i) the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to such
Contributing Guarantor to (ii) the aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution
Amounts with respect to all Contributing Guarantors multiplied by (b) the
aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding
Guarantors under this Guaranty in respect of the obligations Guaranteed. "Fair
Share Contribution Amount" means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of
any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of
such Contributing Guarantor under this Guaranty that would not render its
obligations hereunder or thereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent
transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code
or any comparable applicable provisions of state law; provided, solely for
purposes of calculating the "Fair Share Contribution Amount" with respect to any
Contributing Guarantor for purposes of this Section 7.2, any assets or
liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to
subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of
contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such
Contributing Guarantor. "Aggregate Payments" means, with respect to a
Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (1)
the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such
date by such Contributing Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty (including,
without limitation, in respect of this Section 7.2), minus (2) the aggregate
amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Contributing
Guarantor from the other Contributing Guarantors as contributions under this
Section 7.2. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined
as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the
applicable Funding Guarantor. The allocation among Contributing Guarantors of
their obligations as set forth in this Section 7.2 shall not be construed in any
way to limit the liability of any Contributing Guarantor hereunder. Each
Guarantor is a third party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth
in this Section 7.2.

     7.3 Payment by Guarantors. Subject to Section 7.2, Guarantors hereby
jointly and severally agree, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in
limitation of any other right which any Beneficiary may have at law or in equity
against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of the Company to
pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due,
whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration,
demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the
operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11
U.S.C. Section 362(a)), Guarantors will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in
Cash, to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of Beneficiaries, an
amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Guaranteed
Obligations then due as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on such
Guaranteed Obligations (including interest which, but for Company's becoming the
subject of a case under the Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such
Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against Company for
such interest in the related bankruptcy case) and all other Guaranteed
Obligations then owed to Beneficiaries as aforesaid.

     7.4 Liability of Guarantors Absolute. Each Guarantor agrees that its
obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional
and shall not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or
equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than payment in full of the
Guaranteed Obligations (or the release of such Guarantor permitted by the Credit
Documents). In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality
thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows:


                                       56

<PAGE>

          (a) this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of
collectability. This Guaranty is a primary obligation of each Guarantor and not
merely a contract of surety;

          (b) Administrative Agent may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between the
Company and any Beneficiary with respect to the existence of such Event of
Default;

          (c) the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the
obligations of Company and the obligations of any other guarantor (including any
other Guarantor) of the obligations of Company, and a separate action or actions
may be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor whether or not any action
is brought against Company or any of such other guarantors and whether or not
Company is joined in any such action or actions;

          (d) payment by any Guarantor of a portion, but not all, of the
Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge any
Guarantor's liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which has
not been paid. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if
Administrative Agent is awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce any
Guarantor's covenant to pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, such
judgment shall not be deemed to release such Guarantor from its covenant to pay
the portion of the Guaranteed Obligations that is not the subject of such suit,
and such judgment shall not, except to the extent satisfied by such Guarantor,
limit, affect, modify or abridge any other Guarantor's liability hereunder in
respect of the Guaranteed Obligations;

          (e) any Beneficiary, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without
notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability hereof or
giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination
of any Guarantor's liability hereunder, from time to time may (i) renew, extend,
accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or otherwise change the time,
place, manner or terms of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) settle,
compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance
with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any
agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the
payment of any other obligations; (iii) request and accept other guaranties of
the Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold security for the payment hereof or
the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute,
compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or modify, with or
without consideration, any security for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations,
any other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other obligation of
any Person (including any other Guarantor) with respect to the Guaranteed
Obligations; (v) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for
the benefit of such Beneficiary in respect hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations
and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or
remedy that such Beneficiary may have against any such security, in each case as
such Beneficiary in its discretion may determine consistent herewith or the
applicable Hedge Agreement and any applicable security agreement, including
foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial
sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable,
and even though such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of
reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against
Company or any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; and (vi) exercise any
other rights available to it under the Credit Documents or the Hedge Agreements;
and

          (f) this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be
valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation,
impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than payment in full
of the Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the
following, whether or not any Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of
any of them: (i) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or
election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court,
by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim
or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Credit
Documents or the Hedge Agreements, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect
to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect
to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed
Obligations; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any
consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions
relating to events of default) hereof, any of the other Credit Documents, any of
the Hedge Agreements or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto,
or of any other guaranty or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, in each
case whether or not in accordance with the terms hereof or such Credit Document,
such Hedge Agreement or any agreement relating to such other guaranty or
security; (iii) the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto,
at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect;
(iv) the application of payments received from any source (other than payments
received pursuant to the other Credit Documents or any of the Hedge Agreements
or from the proceeds of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, except to
the extent such security also serves as collateral for indebtedness other than
the Guaranteed Obligations) to the payment of indebtedness other than the
Guaranteed Obligations, even though any Beneficiary


                                       57

<PAGE>

might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed
Obligations; (v) any Beneficiary's consent to the change, reorganization or
termination of the corporate structure or existence of Holdings or any of its
Subsidiaries and to any corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed
Obligations; (vi) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security
interest in any collateral which secures any of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(vii) any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which Company may allege or assert
against any Beneficiary in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including
failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds,
statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury; and (viii) any other
act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or
might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor as an
obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.

     7.5 Waivers by Guarantors. Each Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of
Beneficiaries: (a) any right to require any Beneficiary, as a condition of
payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against Company, any
other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations or
any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from
Company, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or
have resort to any balance of any Deposit Account or credit on the books of any
Beneficiary in favor of Company or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other
remedy in the power of any Beneficiary whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by
reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense
of Company or any other Guarantor including any defense based on or arising out
of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or
any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of
the liability of Company or any other Guarantor from any cause other than
payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) any defense based upon any
statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be
neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the
principal; (d) any defense based upon any Beneficiary's errors or omissions in
the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior which amounts
to willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith; (e) (i) any principles or
provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict
with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor's
obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting
such Guarantor's liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights
to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and
any requirement that any Beneficiary protect, secure, perfect or insure any
security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands,
presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of
any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default
hereunder, the Hedge Agreements or any agreement or instrument related thereto,
notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations
or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to Company
and notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 7.4 and any right to
consent to any thereof; and (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived
from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or
sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof.

     7.6 Guarantors' Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, etc. Until the
Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full, each Guarantor
hereby waives any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such
Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against Company or any other Guarantor
or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance by such
Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right
or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or
otherwise and including without limitation (a) any right of subrogation,
reimbursement or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter
have against Company with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any right
to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any
Beneficiary now has or may hereafter have against Company, and (c) any benefit
of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter
held by any Beneficiary. In addition, until the Guaranteed Obligations shall
have been indefeasibly paid in full, each Guarantor shall withhold exercise of
any right of contribution such Guarantor may have against any other guarantor
(including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations, including,
without limitation, any such right of contribution as contemplated by Section
7.2. Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement
to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement,
indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of
subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification such Guarantor may have against
Company or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution
such Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, shall be junior and
subordinate to any rights any Beneficiary may have against Company, to all
right, title and interest any Beneficiary may have in any such collateral or
security, and to any right any Beneficiary may have against such other
guarantor. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of any such
subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution rights at any time
when all Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been finally and indefeasibly
paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for Administrative Agent on
behalf of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to Administrative Agent
for the benefit of


                                       58

<PAGE>

Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations,
whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof.

     7.7 Subordination of Other Obligations. Any Indebtedness of Company or any
Guarantor now or hereafter held by any Guarantor (the "Obligee Guarantor") is
hereby subordinated in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations, and any
such indebtedness collected or received by the Obligee Guarantor after an Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be held in trust for
Administrative Agent on behalf of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over
to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Beneficiaries to be credited and
applied against the Guaranteed Obligations but without affecting, impairing or
limiting in any manner the liability of the Obligee Guarantor under any other
provision hereof.

     7.8 Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall
remain in effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in
full. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty
as to future transactions giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligations.

     7.9 Authority of Guarantors or Company. It is not necessary for any
Beneficiary to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Guarantor or Company
or the officers, directors or any agents acting or purporting to act on behalf
of any of them.

     7.10 Financial Condition of Company. Any Credit Extension may be made to
Company or continued from time to time, and any Hedge Agreements may be entered
into from time to time, in each case without notice to or authorization from any
Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of Company at the time
of any such grant or continuation or at the time such Hedge Agreement is entered
into, as the case may be. No Beneficiary shall have any obligation to disclose
or discuss with any Guarantor its assessment, or any Guarantor's assessment, of
the financial condition of Company. Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain
information from Company on a continuing basis concerning the financial
condition of Company and its ability to perform its obligations under the Credit
Documents and the Hedge Agreements, and each Guarantor assumes the
responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of
Company and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the
Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty
on the part of any Beneficiary to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to
the business, operations or conditions of Company now known or hereafter known
by any Beneficiary.

     7.11 Bankruptcy, etc. (a) Without limiting any Guarantor's ability to file
a voluntary bankruptcy petition in respect of itself, so long as any Guaranteed
Obligations remain outstanding, no Guarantor shall, without the prior written
consent of Administrative Agent acting pursuant to the instructions of Requisite
Lenders, commence or join with any other Person in commencing any bankruptcy,
reorganization or insolvency case or proceeding of or against Company or any
other Guarantor. The obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced,
limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any case or
proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of Company or any other
Guarantor or by any defense which Company or any other Guarantor may have by
reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body
resulting from any such proceeding.

          (b) Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any
portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which accrues after the commencement of
any case or proceeding referred to in clause (a) above (or, if interest on any
portion of the Guaranteed Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by
reason of the commencement of such case or proceeding, such interest as would
have accrued on such portion of the Guaranteed Obligations if such case or
proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in the Guaranteed
Obligations because it is the intention of Guarantors and Beneficiaries that the
Guaranteed Obligations which are guaranteed by Guarantors pursuant hereto should
be determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve
Company of any portion of such Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantors will permit
any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the
benefit of creditors or similar person to pay Administrative Agent, or allow the
claim of Administrative Agent in respect of, any such interest accruing after
the date on which such case or proceeding is commenced.

          (c) In the event that all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations
are paid by Company, the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall continue and
remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the
event that all or any part of such payment(s) are rescinded or recovered
directly or indirectly from any Beneficiary as a


                                       59

<PAGE>

preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and any such payments which are so
rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guaranteed Obligations for all purposes
hereunder.

     7.12 Discharge of Guaranty Upon Sale of Guarantor. If all of the Capital
Stock of any Guarantor or any of its successors in interest hereunder shall be
sold or otherwise disposed of (including by merger or consolidation) in a
transaction consummated in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, the
Guaranty of such Guarantor or such successor in interest, as the case may be,
hereunder shall automatically be discharged and released without any further
action by any Beneficiary or any other Person effective as of the time of such
Asset Sale.

     7.13 Dutch Law Limitation. To the extent applicable and notwithstanding any
other provision of this Section 7, the guarantee, indemnity and other
obligations of any Guarantor incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands
(each, a "Dutch Guarantor") or any Subsidiary of a Dutch Guarantor expressed to
be assumed in this Section 7 shall be deemed not to be assumed by such Guarantor
or such Subsidiary to the extent that the same would constitute unlawful
financial assistance within the meaning of Articles 2:207(c) or 2:98(c) of the
Dutch Civil Code and the provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents shall be construed accordingly.

          (c) Breach of Certain Covenants. Failure of any Credit Party to
perform or comply with any term or condition contained in Section 2.3, Section
5.2 or Section 6; or

the date made or deemed made; or


                                       60

<PAGE>

          (e) Other Defaults Under Credit Documents. Any Credit Party shall

to it or shall commence a voluntary case under the Bankruptcy Code or under any

Agent shall have only those duties and responsibilities that are expressly
specified herein and the other Credit Documents. Each Agent may exercise such
powers, rights and remedies and perform such duties by or through its Related
Parties, its agents, sub-agents, Affiliates or employees. The exculpatory
provisions of this Agreement shall apply to any such agent, Related Parties,
sub-agents, affiliates and employees of any Agent and any such agent or

regardless of whether a Default exists; and nothing herein or any of the other
Credit Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed
as to impose upon any Agent any obligations in respect hereof or any of the
other Credit Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein. No Agent

          (a) No Responsibility for Certain Matters. No Agent nor any Related
Party shall be responsible to any Lender for the execution, effectiveness,
genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency hereof or
any other Credit Document (other than solely to confirm receipt of items

representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or
made in any written or oral statements or in any financial or other statements,
instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents furnished or made by
any Agent to Lenders or by or on behalf of any Credit Party to any Agent or any
Lender in connection with the Credit Documents and the transactions contemplated
thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of any Credit Party
or any other Person liable for the payment of any Obligations, nor shall any
Agent be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of
any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in
any of the Credit Documents or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or as
to the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or Default or to
make any disclosures with respect to the foregoing. Anything contained herein to
the contrary notwithstanding, Administrative Agent shall not have any liability
arising from confirmations of the amount of outstanding Loans or the component
amounts thereof. No Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its
opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or
that is contrary to any Credit Document or applicable law.

          (b) Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent or any Related Party shall be
liable to Lenders for any action taken or omitted by any Agent under or in
connection with any of the Credit Documents except to the extent caused by such
Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment. Each Agent may at
any time request instructions from Requisite Lenders or all affected Lenders
with respect to any actions or approvals, which by the terms of this Agreement
or any of the Credit Documents, such Agent is permitted or required to take or
to grant. Each Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of
any action (including the failure to take an action) in connection herewith or
any of the other Credit Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion
or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until such Agent
shall have received instructions in respect thereof from Requisite Lenders (or
such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section
10.5) and, upon receipt of such instructions from Requisite Lenders (or such
other Lenders, as the case may be), such Agent shall be entitled to act or
(where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion
or authority, in accordance with such instructions. Without prejudice to the
generality of the foregoing, (i) each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall
be fully protected in relying, upon any communication, instrument or document
believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the
proper Person or Persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected
in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for
Holdings and its Subsidiaries), accountants, experts and other professional
advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Lender shall have any right of action
whatsoever against any Agent as a result of such Agent acting or (where so
instructed) refraining from acting hereunder or any of the other Credit
Documents in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Lenders (or such
other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 10.5).

          (c) Delegation of Duties. Administrative Agent may perform any and all
of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement or under
any other Credit Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by

any and all of its duties and


                                       63

<PAGE>

exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. The
exculpatory, indemnification and other provisions of this Section 9.3 and of
Section 9.6 shall apply to the Affiliates of Administrative 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. All of the rights, benefits, and privileges (including the exculpatory
and indemnification provisions) of this Section 9.3 and of Section 9.6 shall
apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of any such sub-agent, and
shall apply to their respective activities as sub-agent as if such sub-agent and
Affiliates were named herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
with respect to each sub-agent appointed by the Administrative Agent, (i) such
sub-agent shall be a third party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect
to all such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and
rights to indemnification) and shall have all of the rights and benefits of a
third party beneficiary, including an independent right of action to enforce
such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to
indemnification) directly, without the consent or joinder of any other Person,
against any or all of the Credit Parties and the Lenders, (ii) such rights,
benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to
indemnification) shall not be modified or amended without the consent of such
sub-agent, and (iii) such sub-agent shall only have obligations to
Administrative Agent and not to any Credit Party, Lender or any other Person and
no Credit Party, Lender or any other Person shall have any rights, directly or
indirectly, as a third party beneficiary or otherwise, against such sub-agent.

     9.4 Agents Entitled to Act as Lender. The agency hereby created shall in no
way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or
obligations upon, any Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder.
With respect to its participation in the Loans, each Agent shall have the same
rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as if
it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder, and
the term "Lender" shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include
each Agent in its individual capacity. Any Agent and its Affiliates may accept
deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, and generally engage in any
kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with Holdings or
any of its Affiliates as if it were not performing the duties specified herein,
and may accept fees and other consideration from Company for services in
connection herewith and otherwise without having to account for the same to
Lenders.

     9.5 Lenders' Representations, Warranties and Acknowledgment.

          (a) Each Lender represents and warrants that it has made its own
independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Holdings and
its Subsidiaries in connection with Credit Extensions hereunder and that it has
made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of
Holdings and its Subsidiaries. No Agent shall have any duty or responsibility,
either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any such investigation or any
such appraisal on behalf of Lenders or to provide any Lender with any credit or
other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession
before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter, and no Agent
shall have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the
completeness of any information provided to Lenders.

          (b) Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement
and funding its Dollar Term Loan and/or Euro Term Loan on the Closing Date,
shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved,
each Credit Document and each other document required to be approved by any
Agent, Requisite Lenders or Lenders, as applicable on the Closing Date.

     9.6 Right to Indemnity. Each Lender, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share,
severally agrees to indemnify each Agent and each of its Related Parties, to the
extent that such Agent or such Related Party shall not have been reimbursed by
any Credit Party, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including
counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent
in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder
or under the other Credit Documents or otherwise in its capacity as such Agent
in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Credit
Documents; provided, no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent's gross negligence or
willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final
and non-appealable judgment. If any indemnity furnished to any Agent for any
purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired,
such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do
the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished;
provided, in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any
Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action,
judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender's Pro
Rata Share thereof; and provided further, this sentence shall not be deemed to


                                       64

<PAGE>

require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation,
loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement
described in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence.

     9.7 Successor Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent. Administrative Agent
may resign at any time by giving forty-five days' prior written notice thereof
to Lenders and the Company, and Administrative Agent may be removed at any time
with or without cause by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing
delivered to the Company and Administrative Agent and signed by Requisite
Lenders. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Requisite Lenders
shall have the right, in consultation with the Company, to appoint a successor,
which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of
any such bank with an office in New York, New York. If no such successor shall
have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders and shall have accepted such
appoint appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives
notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf
of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the
qualifications set forth above provided that if the Administrative Agent shall
notify the Company and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such
appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in
accordance with such notice and (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations thereunder and under the other Credit
Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Credit Documents,
the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral
security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and
(ii) 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
directly, until such time as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor
Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the
acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor
Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties
of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent and the retiring or removed
Administrative Agent shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor
Administrative Agent all sums, Securities and other items of Collateral held
under the Collateral Documents, together with all records and other documents
necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the

deliver to such successor Administrative Agent such amendments to financing
statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in
connection with the assignment to such successor Administrative Agent of the
security interests created under the Collateral Documents, whereupon such
retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder. After any retiring or removed Administrative Agent's
resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this
Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by it while it was Administrative Agent hereunder. Any resignation or
removal of BNY or its successor as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section
shall also constitute the resignation or removal of BNY or its successor as
Collateral Agent, and any successor Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to
this Section shall, upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the
successor Collateral Agent for all purposes hereunder and under the other Credit
Documents.

     9.8 Collateral Documents, Guaranty and Intercreditor Agreement.

          (a) Agents under Collateral Documents, Guaranty and Intercreditor
Agreement. Each Lender hereby further authorizes Administrative Agent or
Collateral Agent, as applicable, on behalf of and for the benefit of Lenders, to
be agent for and representative of Lenders with respect to the Guaranty, the
Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral and the Collateral Documents and to
execute and deliver on its behalf the Intercreditor Agreement and each of the
Collateral Documents to which it is party. Subject to Section 10.5, without
further written consent or authorization from Lenders, Administrative Agent or
Collateral Agent, as applicable may execute any documents or instruments
necessary to (i) release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the

Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent
under Section 10.5) have otherwise consented or (ii) release any Guarantor from
the Guaranty pursuant to Section 7.12 or with respect to which Requisite Lenders
(or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section
10.5) have otherwise consented.

          (b) Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guaranty. Anything
contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding,
Company, Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and each Lender hereby agree
that (i) no Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the
Collateral or to enforce the Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all
powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by Administrative
Agent, on behalf of Lenders in accordance with the terms hereof and all powers,
rights and remedies under the Collateral Documents may be exercised solely by
Collateral Agent, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by Collateral Agent on
any of the Collateral


                                       65

<PAGE>

pursuant to a public or private sale, Collateral Agent or any Lender may be the
purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale and Collateral
Agent, as agent for and representative of Secured Parties (but not any Lender or
Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Requisite
Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of
bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any
portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of
the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral
payable by Collateral Agent at such sale.

     9.9 Dutch Collateral Debt Covenant.

          (a) Definitions. In this Section 9.9:

          "Dutch Obligor" means (i) Autocam Corporation, (ii) Autocam Europe if
and when it grants a Lien to Collateral Agent pursuant to Dutch Law, and (iii)
any Foreign Subsidiary of Company not in existence on the Closing Date organized
under the laws of the Netherlands, which becomes a Guarantor Foreign Subsidiary
and grants a Lien to Collateral Agent pursuant to Dutch law.

          (b) Parallel Debt Undertaking. The Dutch Obligor irrevocably and
unconditionally undertakes (and to the extent necessary undertakes in advance
(bij voorbaat)) to pay to Collateral Agent amounts equal to any amounts owing by
each Credit Party to the Agents (including former Agents), the Lenders or any of
them and Lender Counterparties in respect of the Obligations (whether present or
future and whether actual or contingent) as and when the same fall due for
payment thereunder. Such a payment undertaking and the obligations and
liabilities resulting from it by the Dutch Obligor to Collateral Agent are
referred to as the "Parallel Debt".

          (c) Acknowledgment. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that (i)
the Parallel Debt constitutes, undertakings, obligations and liabilities of the
Dutch Obligor to Collateral Agent separate and independent from, and without
prejudice to the Obligations (whether present or future and whether actual or
contingent) of each Credit Party to the Agents (including former Agents), the
Lenders or any of them and Lender Counterparties, and (ii) the Parallel Debt
represents the Collateral Agent's own separate and independent claim (eigen en
zelfstandige vordering) to receive payment of the Parallel Debt from the Dutch
Obligor; provided that in all events the aggregate amount which may become due
under the Parallel Debt shall never exceed the aggregate amount which may become
due under the Obligations.

          (d) Decrease Parallel Debt. Each party to this Agreement agrees that
the aggregate amount due by the Dutch Obligor under the Parallel Debt will be
decreased to the extent a Credit Party has paid any amounts to the Agents, the
Lenders or any of them and Lender Counterparties to reduce its outstanding
Obligations provided except to the extent such payment shall have been
subsequently avoided or reduced by virtue of provisions or enactments relating
to bankruptcy, insolvency, preference, liquidation or similar laws of general
application.

          (e) Decrease Obligations. Each party to this Agreement agrees that to
the extent the Dutch Obligor has paid any amounts to Collateral Agent under the
Parallel Debt the aggregate amount due by each Credit Party under the
Obligations will be decreased accordingly, except to the extent such payment
shall have been subsequently avoided or reduced by virtue of provisions or
enactments relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, preference, liquidation or
similar laws of general application.

          (f) Application Parallel Debt. To the extent Collateral Agent receives
any amount in payment of the Parallel Debt subject to the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement, Collateral Agent shall distribute such amount among the
Lenders and Lender Counterparties in accordance with the terms of the Credit
Documents.

          (g) Default. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parallel Debt will become
due and payable (opeisbaar) at the same time and to the same extent as the
related Obligations become due and payable.

          (h) No common property. Each party to this Agreement confirms that, in
accordance with this Section 9.9 the claim of Collateral Agent against the Dutch
Obligor in respect of the Parallel Debt does not constitute common property (een
gemeenschap) within the meaning of Article 3:166 Dutch Civil Code and that the
provisions relating to such common property shall not apply. If, however, it
shall be held that such claim of Collateral Agent does constitute


                                       66

<PAGE>

such common property and such provisions do apply, the parties to this Agreement
agree that this Agreement shall constitute the administration agreement
(beheersregeling) within the meaning of Article 3:168 Dutch Civil Code.

          (i) No agent. For the purpose of this Section 9.9 Collateral Agent
acts in its own name and on behalf of itself and not as agent or representative
of any other party to this Agreement and any Lien granted by a Dutch Obligor to
Collateral Agent to secure the Parallel Debt is granted to Collateral Agent in
its capacity as creditor of the Parallel Debt.

          (j) Governing Law. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.14,
this Section 9.9 shall be governed by the law of the Netherlands.

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

and disbursements of any auditors, accountants, consultants or appraisers; (f)
all the out-of-pocket actual costs and reasonable expenses (including the
reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of any appraisers, consultants,
advisors and agents employed or retained by Collateral Agent and its counsel) in
connection with the custody or preservation of any of the Collateral; (g) all
other out-of-pocket actual and reasonable costs and expenses incurred by each
Agent in connection with the syndication of the Loans and Commitments and the
negotiation, preparation and execution of the Credit Documents and any consents,
amendments, waivers or other modifications thereto and the transactions
contemplated thereby; and (h) during the continuance of a Default or an Event of
Default, (i) all costs and expenses of inspections and visits by any Agent or
Lender pursuant to Section 5.6 and (ii) all costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of settlement, incurred by any Agent and
Lenders in enforcing any Obligations of or in collecting any payments due from
any Credit Party hereunder or under the other Credit Documents by reason of such
Default or Event of Default (including in connection with the sale of,
collection from, or other realization upon any of the Collateral or the
enforcement of the Guaranty) or in connection with any refinancing or
restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a
"work-out" or pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy cases or proceedings.

          (b) Reimbursement. To the extent that Company for any reason fails to
indefeasibly pay any amount required under this Section 10 to be paid by it to
any Agent (or any sub-agent thereof, or any Related Party of any of the
foregoing), each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent (or any such
sub-agent) 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
reimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related
expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against any Agent (or
any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any
of the foregoing acting for such Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection
with such capacity). All amounts due under this Section 10.2(b) shall be paid
promptly after demand therefore.

     10.3 Indemnity.

          (a) In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to Section 10.2,
whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, each
Credit Party agrees to defend (subject to Indemnitees' selection of counsel),
indemnify, pay and hold harmless, each Agent, the Lead Arranger and Lender and
their respective Related Parties (each, an "Indemnitee"), from and against any
and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided, no Credit Party shall have any
obligation to any Indemnitee hereunder with respect to any Indemnified
Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction


                                       68

<PAGE>

by a final and non-appealable judgment. To the extent that the undertakings to
defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 10.3 may be
unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any law or
public policy, the applicable Credit Party shall contribute the maximum portion
that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and
satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of
them.

          (b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Credit Party shall
assert, and each Credit Party hereby waives, any claim against Lenders, Agents
and their respective Related Parties, on any theory of liability, for special,
indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual
damages) (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty
imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with,
arising out of, as a result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any
Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or
referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby,
any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event
occurring in connection therewith, and Holdings and Company hereby waives,
releases and agrees not to sue upon any such claim or any such damages, whether
or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

     10.4 Set-Off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under
applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default each Lender and each Agent is hereby
authorized by each Credit Party at any time or from time to time subject to the
consent of Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), without notice to any Credit Party or to any other Person (other than
Administrative Agent), any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off
and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special,
including Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or
unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any other Indebtedness at any
time held or owing by such Lender or such Agent to or for the credit or the
account of any Credit Party against and on account of the obligations and
liabilities of any Credit Party to such Lender or such Agent hereunder and under
the other Credit Documents, including all claims of any nature or description
arising out of or connected hereto or with any other Credit Document,
irrespective of whether or not (a) such Lender or such Agent shall have made any
demand hereunder or (b) the principal of or the interest on the Loans or any
other amounts due hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to
Section 2 and although such obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be
contingent or unmatured. A Lender's failure to obtain the required consent of
the Administrative Agent described above shall not affect the validity of any
such set off or application. Each Credit Party hereby further grants to
Administrative Agent and each Lender a security interest in all Deposit Accounts
maintained with Administrative Agent or such Lender as security for the
Obligations.

     10.5 Amendments and Waivers.

          (a) Requisite Lenders' Consent. Subject to Section 10.5(b), no
amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of the Credit
Documents, or consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, shall in
any event be effective without the written concurrence of the Requisite Lenders
(and, to the extent the rights or obligations of an Agent are affected, such
Agent).

          (b) Affected Lenders' Consent. Without the written consent of each
Lender that would be affected thereby (and the consent of an Agent if the rights
or obligations of such Agent are affected), no amendment, modification,
termination, or consent shall be effective if the effect thereof would:

               (i) extend the scheduled final maturity of any Loan or Note;

               (ii) waive, reduce or postpone any scheduled repayment (but not
     prepayment);

               (iii) reduce the rate of interest on any Loan (other than any
     waiver of any increase in the interest rate applicable to any Loan pursuant
     to Section 2.7) or any fee payable hereunder;

               (iv) extend the time for payment of any such interest or fees;

               (v) reduce the principal amount of any Loan;

               (vi) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of this
     Section 10.5(b);


                                       69

<PAGE>

               (vii) amend the definition of "Requisite Lenders" or "Pro Rata
     Share"; provided, with the consent of Requisite Lenders, additional
     extensions of credit pursuant hereto may be included in the determination
     of "Requisite Lenders" or "Pro Rata Share" on substantially the same basis
     as the Term Loan Commitments and the Term Loans are included on the Closing
     Date;

               (viii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or all
     or substantially all of the Guarantors from the Guaranty except as
     expressly provided in the Credit Documents; or

               (ix) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Party of
     any of its rights and obligations under any Credit Document except as
     expressly provided in any Credit Document.

          (c) Other Consents. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver
of any provision of the Credit Documents, or consent to any departure by any
Credit Party therefrom, shall:

               (i) amend the definition of "Requisite Class Lenders" without the
     consent of Requisite Class Lenders of each Class; provided, with the
     consent of the Requisite Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant
     hereto may be included in the determination of such "Requisite Class
     Lenders" on substantially the same basis as the Term Loan Commitments and
     the Term Loans are included on the Closing Date;

               (ii) alter the required application of any repayments or
     prepayments as between Classes pursuant to Section 2.12 without the consent
     of Requisite Class Lenders of each Class which is being allocated a lesser
     repayment or prepayment as a result thereof; provided, Requisite Lenders
     may waive, in whole or in part, any prepayment so long as the application,
     as between Classes, of any portion of such prepayment which is still
     required to be made is not altered; or

               (iii) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of Section
     9 as the same applies to any Agent, or any other provision hereof as the
     same applies to the rights or obligations of any Agent, in each case
     without the consent of such Agent.

          (d) Execution of Amendments, etc. Administrative Agent may, but shall
have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments,
modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender. Any waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in
any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand
in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination,
waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section 10.5 shall be binding
upon each Lender at the time outstanding, each future Lender and, if signed by a
Credit Party, on such Credit Party.

     10.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations.

          (a) Generally. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of
the parties hereto and the successors and assigns of Lenders. No Credit Party's
rights or obligations hereunder nor any interest therein may be assigned or
delegated by any Credit Party without the prior written consent of all Lenders.
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 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby,
Affiliates of each of the Agents and Lenders) any legal or equitable right,
remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

          (b) Register. Company, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall deem and
treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders and owners of
the corresponding Loans listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no
assignment or transfer of any such Loan shall be effective, in each case, unless
and until an Assignment Agreement effecting the assignment or transfer thereof
shall have been delivered to and accepted by Administrative Agent and recorded
in the Register as provided in Section 10.6(e). Prior to such recordation, all
amounts owed with respect to the applicable Loan shall be owed to the Lender
listed in the Register as the owner thereof, and any request, authority or
consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such
authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive
and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the
corresponding Loans.


                                       70

<PAGE>

          (c) Right to Assign. Each Lender shall have the right at any time to
sell, assign or transfer all or a portion of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement, including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Loans
owing to it or other Obligation (provided, however, that each such assignment
shall be of a uniform, and not varying, percentage of all rights and obligations
under and in respect of any Loan):

               (i) to any Person meeting the criteria of clause (i) of the
     definition of the term of "Eligible Assignee" upon the giving of notice to
     Company and Administrative Agent; and

               (ii) to any Person meeting the criteria of clause (ii) of the
     definition of the term of "Eligible Assignee"; provided, that each such
     assignment pursuant to this Section 10.6(c)(ii) shall be in an aggregate
     amount of not less than $1,000,000 or E1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as
     may be agreed to by Company and Administrative Agent or as shall constitute
     the aggregate amount of the Dollar Term Loans or Euro Term Loans with
     respect to the assignment of Term Loans).

          (d) Mechanics. The assigning Lender and the assignee thereof shall
execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement, together
with such forms, certificates or other evidence, if any, with respect to United
States federal income tax withholding matters as the assignee under such
Assignment Agreement may be required to deliver to Administrative Agent pursuant
to Section 2.17(c).

          (e) Notice of Assignment. Upon its receipt of a duly executed and
completed Assignment Agreement (and any forms, certificates or other evidence
required by this Agreement in connection therewith), Administrative Agent shall
record the information contained in such Assignment Agreement in the Register,
shall give prompt notice thereof to Company and shall maintain a copy of such
Assignment Agreement.

          (f) Representations and Warranties of Assignee. Each Lender, upon
execution and delivery hereof or upon executing and delivering an Assignment
Agreement, as the case may be, represents and warrants as of the Closing Date or
as of the applicable Effective Date (as defined in the applicable Assignment
Agreement) that (i) it is an Eligible Assignee; (ii) it has experience and
expertise in the making of or investing in loans such as the applicable Loans;
and (iii) it will make or invest in, as the case may be, its Loans for its own
account in the ordinary course of its business and without a view to
distribution of such Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act or other federal securities laws (it being understood that, subject
to the provisions of this Section 10.6, the disposition of such Loans or any
interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control).

          (g) Effect of Assignment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Section 10.6, as of the "Effective Date" specified in the applicable Assignment
Agreement: (i) the assignee thereunder shall have the rights and obligations of
a "Lender" hereunder to the extent such rights and obligations hereunder have
been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement and shall thereafter
be a party hereto and a "Lender" for all purposes hereof; (ii) the assigning
Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder
have been assigned thereby pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, relinquish its
rights (other than any rights which survive the termination hereof under Section
10.8) and be released from its obligations hereunder (and, in the case of an
Assignment Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning
Lender's rights and obligations hereunder, such Lender shall cease to be a party
hereto; provided, anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the
contrary notwithstanding, such assigning Lender shall continue to be entitled to
the benefit of all indemnities hereunder as specified herein with respect to
matters arising out of the prior involvement of such assigning Lender as a
Lender hereunder); (iii) if applicable, the Term Loan Commitments shall be
modified to reflect the Term Loan Commitment of such assignee; and (iv) if any
such assignment occurs after the issuance of any Note hereunder, the assigning
Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly
thereafter as practicable, surrender its applicable Notes to Administrative
Agent for cancellation, and thereupon Company shall issue and deliver new Notes,
if so requested by the assignee and/or assigning Lender, to such assignee and/or
to such assigning Lender, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the new
outstanding Loans of the assignee and/or the assigning Lender.

          (h) Participations. Each Lender shall have the right at any time to
sell one or more participations to any Person (other than Holdings, any of its
Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliates) in all or any part of its Loans or in any
other Obligation. The holder of any such participation, other than an Affiliate
of the Lender granting such participation, shall not be entitled to require such
Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except with respect to any
amendment, modification or waiver that would (i) extend the final scheduled
maturity of any Loan or Note in which such participant is participating, or
reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon
(except in connection with a waiver


                                       71

<PAGE>

of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the
principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant's
participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a
waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall not constitute a change in the
terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Loan shall be permitted
without the consent of any participant if the participant's participation is not
increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by
any Credit Party of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or
(iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Collateral
Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) supporting the
Loans hereunder in which such participant is participating. Company agrees that
each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15(c), 2.16 and
2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by
assignment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section; provided, (i) a
participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section
2.16 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with
respect to the participation sold to such participant, unless the sale of the
participation to such participant is made with Company's prior written consent
and (ii) a participant that would be a Non-U.S. Lender if it were a Lender shall
not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless Company is notified of
the participation sold to such participant and such participant agrees, for the
benefit of Company, to comply with Section 2.17 as though it were a Lender. To
the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the
benefits of Section 10.4 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant
agrees to be subject to Section 2.14 as though it were a Lender.

          (i) Certain Other Assignments. In addition to any other assignment
permitted pursuant to this Section 10.6, any Lender may assign and/or pledge all
or any portion of its Loans, the other Obligations owed by or to such Lender,
and its Notes, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender including, without
limitation, any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to
Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any
operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank; provided, no Lender, as
between Company and such Lender, shall be relieved of any of its obligations
hereunder as a result of any such assignment and pledge, and provided further,
in no event shall the applicable Federal Reserve Bank, pledgee or trustee be
considered to be a "Lender" or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to
take or omit to take any action hereunder unless and until an assignment is made
in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6(c).

     10.7 Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given
independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted
by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception
to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not
avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken
or condition exists.

     10.8 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. All
representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the
execution and delivery hereof and the making of any Credit Extension.
Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law to the contrary, the
agreements of each Credit Party set forth in Sections 2.15(c), 2.16, 2.17, 10.2,
10.3 and 10.4 and the agreements of Lenders set forth in Sections 2.14, 9.3(b)
and 9.6 shall survive the payment of the Loans and the termination hereof.

     10.9 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any
Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder
or under any other Credit Document shall impair such power, right or privilege
or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall
any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude
other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. The
rights, powers and remedies given to each Agent and each Lender hereby are
cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and
remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other
Credit Documents or any of the Hedge Agreements. Any forbearance or failure to
exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder
shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver
thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or
remedy.

     10.10 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither any Agent nor any Lender
shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Credit Party
or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.
To the extent that any Credit Party makes a payment or payments to
Administrative Agent or Lenders (or to Administrative Agent, on behalf of
Lenders), or Administrative Agent or Lenders enforce any security interests or
exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of
such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be
repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any
other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the
extent of


                                       72

<PAGE>

such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be
satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall
be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments
had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

     10.11 Severability. In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or any
Note shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or
obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall
not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

     10.12 Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders' Rights. The
obligations of Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible
for the obligations or Commitment of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing
contained herein or in any other Credit Document, and no action taken by Lenders
pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Lenders as a
partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The
amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and
independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its
rights arising out hereof and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to
be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

     10.13 Headings. Section headings herein are included herein for convenience
of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose
or be given any substantive effect.

     10.14 APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE
PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 AND
SECTION 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATION LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK) WITHOUT
REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

     10.15 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST ANY
CREDIT PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING HERETO OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT, OR
ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS, MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF
COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE STATE, COUNTY AND CITY OF NEW YORK. BY EXECUTING
AND DELIVERING THIS AGREEMENT, EACH CREDIT PARTY, FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION
WITH ITS PROPERTIES, IRREVOCABLY (a) ACCEPTS GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY THE
NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS; (b) WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF
FORUM NON CONVENIENS; (c) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH
PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN
RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO THE APPLICABLE CREDIT PARTY AT ITS ADDRESS PROVIDED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 10.1; (d) AGREES THAT SERVICE AS PROVIDED IN CLAUSE (c)
ABOVE IS SUFFICIENT TO CONFER PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER THE APPLICABLE CREDIT
PARTY IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND OTHERWISE CONSTITUTES
EFFECTIVE AND BINDING SERVICE IN EVERY RESPECT; AND (e) AGREES AGENTS AND
LENDERS RETAINS THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW
OR TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY CREDIT PARTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER
JURISDICTION.

     10.16 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO
WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION
BASED UPON OR ARISING HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR
ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS LOAN
TRANSACTION OR THE LENDER/COMPANY RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED. THE
SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES
THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS
TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS AND
ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT
THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP THAT
EACH HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THIS WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT
EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER IN ITS RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. EACH
PARTY HERETO FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER
WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY
TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER IS
IRREVOCABLE,


                                       73

<PAGE>

MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A
MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS SECTION 10.16 AND EXECUTED
BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT
AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS HERETO OR ANY OF THE OTHER
CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE LOANS
MADE HEREUNDER. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A
WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

     10.17 Confidentiality. Each Lender shall hold all non-public information
regarding Company and its Subsidiaries and their businesses identified as such
by Company and obtained by such Lender pursuant to the requirements hereof in
accordance with such Lender's customary procedures for handling confidential
information of such nature, it being understood and agreed by Company that, in
any event, a Lender may make (i) disclosures of such information to Affiliates
of such Lender and to their agents and advisors (and to other persons authorized
by a Lender or Agent to organize, present or disseminate such information in
connection with disclosures otherwise made in accordance with this Section
10.17, (ii) disclosures of such information reasonably required by any bona fide
or potential assignee, transferee or participant in connection with the
contemplated assignment, transfer or participation by such Lender of any Loans
or any participations therein or by any direct or indirect contractual
counterparties (or the professional advisors thereto) in Hedge Agreements
(provided, such assignees, transferees, participants, counterparties and
advisors are advised of and agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section
10.17), (iii) disclosure to any rating agency when required by it, provided
that, prior to any disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake in writing to
preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the
Credit Parties received by it from any of the Agents or any Lender, and (iv)
disclosures required or requested by any governmental agency or representative
thereof or by the NAIC or pursuant to legal or judicial process; provided,
unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender
shall make reasonable efforts to notify Company of any request by any
governmental agency or representative thereof (other than any such request in
connection with any examination of the financial condition or other routine
examination of such Lender by such governmental agency) for disclosure of any
such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, each party (and each
of their respective employees, representatives or other agents) may disclose to
any and all persons, without limitations of any kind, the tax treatment and tax
structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all materials
of any kind (including opinions and other tax analyses) that are provided to any
such party relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. However, any
information relating to the tax treatment or tax structure shall remain subject
to the confidentiality provisions hereof (and the foregoing sentence shall not
apply) to the extent reasonably necessary to enable the parties hereto, their
respective Affiliates, and their and their respective Affiliates' directors and
employees to comply with applicable securities laws. For this purpose, "tax
structure" means any facts relevant to the federal income tax treatment of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement but does not include information
relating to the identity of any of the parties hereto or any of their respective

     10.18 Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the
aggregate interest rate charged with respect to any of the Obligations,
including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of
interest under applicable law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the
rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under
this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding
amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful
Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of
interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set
forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when
the Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder
(taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total
amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of
interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to
the extent permitted by law, Company shall pay to Administrative Agent an amount
equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of
interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times
been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of Lenders
and Company to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if
any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which
constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess
shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender's
option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be
refunded to Company.

     10.19 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an
original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the
same instrument.

     10.20 Judgment Currency.

          (a) If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is
necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in any currency (the "Original
Currency") into another currency (the "Other Currency"), the parties hereto
agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that the rate of exchange used
shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures
Administrative Agent or a Lender could purchase the Original Currency with such
Other Currency in New York, New York on the Business Day immediately preceding
the day on which any such judgment, or any relevant part thereof, is given.

          (b) The obligations of Company in respect of any sum due from it to
any Agent or Lender hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in such Other
Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following
receipt by such Agent or Lender of any sum adjudged to be so due in such Other
Currency such Agent or Lender may in accordance with normal banking procedures
purchase the Original Currency with such Other Currency; if the Original
Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due such Agent or Lender
in the Original Currency, Company agrees, as a separate obligation and
notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Agent or Lender against
such loss, and if the Original Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally
due to such Agent or Lender in the Original Currency, such Agent or Lender shall
remit such excess to Company.

     10.21 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective upon the
execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto and receipt by
Company and Administrative Agent of written or telephonic notification of such
execution and authorization of delivery thereof.

     10.22 Intercreditor Agreement.

EACH LENDER HEREUNDER (A) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS RECEIVED A COPY OF THE
INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, (B) CONSENTS TO THE SUBORDINATION OF LIENS PROVIDED FOR
IN THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, (C) AGREES THAT IT WILL BE BOUND BY AND WILL
TAKE NO ACTIONS CONTRARY TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND
(D) AUTHORIZES AND INSTRUCTS THE COLLATERAL AGENT TO ENTER INTO THE
INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AS COLLATERAL AGENT AND ON BEHALF OF SUCH LENDER. THE
FOREGOING PROVISIONS ARE INTENDED AS AN INDUCEMENT TO THE FIRST LIEN LENDERS TO
EXTEND CREDIT TO THE COMPANY AND SUCH LENDERS ARE INTENDED THIRD PARTY
BENEFICIARIES OF SUCH PROVISIONS.
