outstanding Domestic Swingline Loans, the Dollar Equivalent (determined as of
the most recent Determination Date) of all outstanding Sterling Swingline Loans
and the aggregate amount of all L/C Obligations exceed the Total Revolving
Credit Commitment Amount from time to time in effect.

      Section 2.02. Domestic Revolving Commitment.

            (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth

the amount of Domestic Revolving Loans then being requested shall be aggregated
with the amount of all other Domestic Revolving Loans, Domestic Swingline Loans
and Domestic L/C Obligations then outstanding; and provided further that the
aggregate amount of all Domestic Revolving Loans and Domestic L/C's outstanding,
including the amount of any Domestic Revolving Loan or Domestic L/C then being

Swingline Loan, L/C Obligations, and the Dollar Equivalent of all outstanding
Sterling Revolving Loans and Sterling Swingline Loan shall not exceed the
Borrowing Limit. The Domestic Borrower shall be entitled to repay and reborrow
Domestic Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

            (b) Each Domestic Revolving Loan shall, at the option of the
Domestic Borrower, be made or continued as, or converted into, part of one or
more Borrowings that shall consist entirely of Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans.
The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing of Domestic Revolving Loans
shall be not less than $500,000 or a greater integral multiple of $100,000. At
no time shall the total number of Borrowings of the Revolving Loans comprised of
LIBOR Loans at any one time outstanding exceed ten in any case.

            (c) Whenever the Domestic Borrower desires to make a Borrowing of
Domestic Revolving Loans (other than one resulting from a conversion or
continuation pursuant to Section 2.02(d)), the Borrower Representative shall
give the Administrative Agent prior written notice (or telephonic notice
promptly confirmed in writing) of such Borrowing (a "Domestic Revolving Notice

            (d) Whenever the Domestic Borrower desires to convert all or a
portion of an outstanding Domestic Revolving Borrowing consisting of Base Rate
Loans into a Domestic Revolving Borrowing consisting of LIBOR Loans or to
continue outstanding a Domestic Revolving Borrowing consisting of LIBOR Loans
for a new Interest Period, the Borrower Representative shall give the
Administrative Agent prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly
confirmed in writing) of each such Borrowing to be converted into or continued
as LIBOR Loans (a "Domestic Revolving Notice of Conversion/Continuation") prior
to 11:30 am. (Atlanta, Georgia time) three (3) Business Days prior to the
requested date of continuation or conversion. Notice received after such time
shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. The Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify each Domestic Revolving Lender upon its receipt of a
Domestic Revolving Notice of Conversion/Continuation. Each such Domestic
Revolving Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall be irrevocable and shall
specify (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Borrowing to be converted or
continued, (ii) the date of such conversion or continuation and (iii) the
Interest Period to be applicable thereto. If, upon the expiration of any
Interest Period in respect of any Domestic Revolving Borrowing consisting of
LIBOR Loans, the Borrower Representative shall have failed to deliver the
Domestic Revolving Notice of Conversion/Continuation, the Domestic Borrower
shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Borrowing to a Borrowing
consisting of Base Rate Loans. So long as any Default or Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, no Domestic Revolving Borrowing may be
converted into or continued (upon expiration of the current Interest Period) as
LIBOR Loans unless the Administrative Agent and each of the Domestic Revolving
Lenders shall have otherwise consented in writing. No conversion of any Domestic
Revolving Borrowing of LIBOR Loans shall be permitted except on the last day of
the Interest Period in respect thereof.

            (e) The Domestic Borrower's obligation to pay the principal of, and
interest on, the Domestic Revolving Loans to each Domestic Revolving Lender
shall be evidenced by the records of the Administrative Agent and such Domestic
Revolving Lender and by the Domestic Revolving Note payable to such Domestic
Revolving Lender (or its the assignor) completed in conformity with this
Agreement.

            (f) The entire outstanding principal amount of the Domestic
Revolving Loans, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, shall be
due and payable in full on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

      Section 2.03. Sterling Revolving Credit Commitment.

            (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth
(including the limitation set forth in Section 2.01), each Sterling Revolving
Lender severally agrees to make to the Sterling Borrower, from time to time
prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, Sterling Revolving Loans in an
aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time not to exceed an amount equal
to:

                  (A) such Sterling Revolving Lender's Pro Rata Share of the
Sterling Revolving Credit Commitment Amount minus (B) the Dollar Equivalent
(determined as of the most recent Determination Date) of the Revolving Lender's
aggregate outstanding Sterling Revolving Loans, minus (C) the Dollar Equivalent
(determined as of the most recent Determination Date) of such Sterling Lender's
Foreign Currency L/C Exposure minus (D) the Dollar Equivalent (determined as of
the most recent Determination Date) of such Sterling Revolving Lender's Sterling
Swingline Exposure;

provided, however, that the conditions set forth in Sections 2.01, 6.01 and 6.02
have been fulfilled before and after giving effect to each Borrowing of Sterling
Revolving Loans; and provided further that at no time may the Dollar Equivalent
(determined as of the most recent Determination Date) of all Sterling Revolving
Loans plus the Dollar Equivalent of all Foreign Currency L/C Obligations plus
the Dollar Equivalent of all Sterling Swingline Loans exceed the Sterling
Revolving Credit Commitment Amount. For the purpose of determining the
unutilized portion of the Sterling Revolving Credit Commitment of each Sterling
Revolving Lender on the date of a requested Borrowing under the Sterling
Revolving Credit Commitment, the Dollar Equivalent of the Sterling Borrowing
then being requested shall be aggregated with the Dollar Equivalent (as of the
most recent Determination Date) of all other Sterling Revolving Loans, Sterling
Swingline Loan, and Foreign Currency L/C Obligations then outstanding; and
provided further that the aggregate amount of all Sterling Revolving Loans and
Foreign Currency L/C's outstanding, including the amount of any Sterling
Borrowing or L/C then being requested and the amount of all


                                      -39-
<PAGE>

Sterling Revolving Loans and Sterling Swingline Loan (determined as of the most
recent Determination Date), L/C Obligations, Domestic Revolving Loans and
Domestic Swingline Loans shall not exceed the Borrowing Limit. The Sterling
Borrower shall be entitled to repay and reborrow Sterling Revolving Loans in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

            (b) Each Sterling Revolving Loan shall be made or continued as part
of one or more Borrowings that shall consist entirely of LIBOR Loans. The
aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing of Sterling Revolving Loans shall
be not less than (pound)500,000 or a greater integral multiple of
(pound)100,000. At no time shall the total number of Revolving Loans comprised
of LIBOR Loans at any one time outstanding exceed ten.

            (c) Whenever the Sterling Borrower desires to make a Borrowing of
Sterling Revolving Loans (other than one resulting from a continuation pursuant
to Section 2.03(d)), the Borrower Representative shall give the Administrative
Agent prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing)
of such Borrowing (a "Sterling Revolving Notice of Borrowing" in the form of
Exhibit L attached) at the Payment Office prior to 11:30 a.m. (Atlanta, Georgia
time) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of such Borrowing.
Notices received after the times set forth above shall be deemed received on the
next Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Sterling
Revolving Lender upon its receipt of a Sterling Revolving Notice of Borrowing.
Each Sterling Revolving Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall
specify (i) the aggregate principal amount of such Borrowing in Sterling, (ii)
the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), and (iii) the
Interest Period to be applicable thereto.

            (d) Whenever the Sterling Borrower desires to continue all or a
portion of an outstanding Sterling Revolving Borrowing consisting of LIBOR Loans
for a new Interest Period, the Borrower Representative shall give the
Administrative Agent prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly
confirmed in writing) of each such Sterling Revolving Borrowing to be continued
as LIBOR Loans (a "Sterling Revolving Notice of Continuation" in the form of
Exhibit M attached) (x) prior to 11:30 am. (Atlanta, Georgia time) three (3)
Business Days prior to the requested date of continuation. Notice received after
such time shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. The Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify each Sterling Revolving Lender upon its receipt of a
Sterling Revolving Notice of Continuation. Each such Sterling Revolving Notice
of Continuation shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the aggregate
principal amount of the Sterling Revolving Borrowing to be converted or
continued, (ii) the date of such continuation and (iii) the Interest Period to
be applicable thereto. If, upon the expiration of any Interest Period in respect
of any Sterling Revolving Borrowing consisting of LIBOR Loans, the Borrower
Representative shall have failed to deliver a Sterling Revolving Notice of
Continuation, the Sterling Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to continue
such Borrowing to a Borrowing consisting of LIBOR Loans for an Interest Period
of one month. So long as any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, no Sterling Revolving Borrowing may be continued (upon expiration
of the current Interest Period) as LIBOR Loans unless the Administrative Agent
and each of the Revolving Lenders shall have otherwise consented in writing.
Absent such consent, such Borrowings must be paid. No continuation of any
Sterling Revolving Borrowing of LIBOR Loans shall be permitted except on the
last day of the Interest Period in respect thereof.

            (e) The Sterling Borrower's obligation to pay the principal of, and
interest on, the Sterling Revolving Loans to each Sterling Revolving Lender
shall be evidenced by the records of the Administrative Agent and such Sterling
Revolving Lender and by the Sterling Revolving Note payable to such Sterling
Revolving Lender (or its the assignor) completed in conformity with this
Agreement.

            (f) The entire outstanding principal amount of the Sterling
Revolving Loans, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, shall be
due and payable in full on the Revolving Credit Termination Date in Sterling.

      Section 2.04. L/C Subcommitments.

            (a) Domestic L/C Subcommitment. Subject to, and upon the terms and
conditions hereof, the Domestic Borrower may request, in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 2.04 and Section 2.05, that the


                                      -40-
<PAGE>

Domestic Issuing Bank issue one or more Domestic L/Cs for the account of the
Domestic Borrower; provided that (i) no Domestic L/C shall have an expiration
date that is later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit
Termination Date; (ii) each Domestic L/C issued by the Domestic Issuing Bank
shall be in a stated amount of at least $20,000, and (iii) the Domestic Borrower
shall not request that the Domestic Issuing Bank issue a Domestic L/C if, after

Obligations would exceed the Domestic L/C Subcommitment, or (B) the aggregate

outstanding Domestic Revolving Loans, plus the Dollar Equivalent (as of the
relevant Determination Date) of the aggregate outstanding Sterling Revolving
Loans, plus the aggregate outstanding amount of all Domestic Swingline Loans

aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Sterling Swingline Loans would
exceed the Borrowing Limit, or (C) the aggregate amount of Domestic L/C
Obligations plus the aggregate amount of all Domestic Swingline Loans, plus the
aggregate outstanding Domestic Revolving Loans, would exceed the Domestic
Revolving Credit Commitment Amount. Upon the issuance of each Domestic L/C, each
Domestic Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Domestic Issuing Bank without
recourse a participation in such Domestic L/C equal to such Revolving Lender's
Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Domestic
L/C. Each issuance of a Domestic L/C shall be deemed to utilize the Domestic
Revolving Credit Commitment of each Domestic Revolving Lender by an amount equal
to the amount of such participation.

            (b) Sterling L/C Subcommitment. Subject to, and upon the terms and
conditions hereof, the Sterling Borrower may request, in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 2.04 and Section 2.05, that the UK Issuing Bank issue
one or more Foreign Currency L/Cs for the account of the Sterling Borrower;
provided that (i) no Foreign Currency L/C shall have an expiration date that is
later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination
Date; (ii) each Foreign Currency L/C issued by the UK Issuing Bank shall be in a
stated amount of at least (pound)13,000, and (iii) the Sterling Borrower shall
not request that the UK Issuing Bank issue a Foreign Currency L/C if, after
giving effect to such issuance, (A) the aggregate amount of the Dollar
Equivalent (as of the relevant Determination Date) of the Foreign Currency L/C
Obligations would exceed the Foreign Currency L/C Subcommitment, (B) the
aggregate amount of all L/C Obligations, plus the aggregate principal amount of
all outstanding Domestic Revolving Loans, plus the Dollar Equivalent (as of the
relevant Determination Date) of the aggregate outstanding Sterling Revolving
Loans, plus the aggregate outstanding amount of all Domestic Swingline Loans
plus the Dollar Equivalent (as of the relevant Determination Date) of the

relevant Determination Date) of the aggregate principal amount of all
outstanding Sterling Swingline Loans, plus the Dollar Equivalent (as of the
relevant Determination Date) of the aggregate outstanding Sterling Revolving
Loans, would exceed the Sterling Revolving Credit Commitment Amount. Upon the
issuance of each Foreign Currency L/C, each Sterling Revolving Lender shall be
deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from
the UK Issuing Bank without recourse a participation in such Foreign Currency
L/C equal to such Sterling Revolving Lender's Pro Rata Share of the aggregate
amount available to be drawn under such Foreign Currency L/C. Each issuance of a
Foreign Currency L/C shall be deemed to utilize the Sterling Revolving Credit
Commitment of each Sterling Revolving Lender by an amount equal to the amount of
such participation.

      Section 2.05. Notice of Issuance of L/C; Agreement to Issue.

            (a) Whenever the Domestic Borrower desires the issuance of a
Domestic L/C, the Borrower Representative shall, in addition to any application
and documentation procedures required by the Domestic Issuing Bank for the
issuance of such L/C, deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Domestic
Issuing Bank, a written notice no later than 11:30 a.m. (Atlanta, Georgia time)
at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the proposed date of issuance
(which amount shall be specified in US Dollars). Whenever the Sterling Borrower
desires the issuance of a Foreign Currency L/C, the Borrower Representative
shall, in addition to any application and documentation procedures required by
the UK Issuing Bank for the issuance of such Foreign Currency L/C, deliver to
the Administrative Agent and the UK Issuing Bank a written notice no later than
11:30 a.m. (Atlanta, Georgia time) at least three (3) Business Days in advance
of the proposed date of issuance (which amount shall be specified in the
appropriate Freely Available Foreign Currency). Any UK Subsidiary of the
Sterling Borrower may


                                      -41-
<PAGE>

make an application and deliver notice to the UK Issuing Bank for issuance of a
Foreign Currency L/C, and such Foreign Currency L/C shall be issued in the name
of such UK Subsidiary. Notwithstanding the fact that such Foreign Currency L/C
shall be issued in the name of such UK Subsidiary, the Sterling Borrower shall
be obligated to indemnify the UK Issuing Bank for such Foreign Currency L/C in
the manner prescribed in Section 2.09 as if such Foreign Currency L/C was issued
in the name of the Sterling Borrower. Each such notice, whether given by the
Sterling Borrower or any of its UK Subsidiaries shall specify (i) the proposed
date of issuance (which shall be a Business Day); (ii) the face amount of the
L/C (which amount shall be specified in the applicable Freely Available Foreign
Currency); (iii) the expiration date of the L/C; and (iv) the name and address
of the beneficiary with respect to such L/C, and shall attach a precise
description of the documentation and a verbatim text of any certificate to be
presented by the beneficiary of such L/C which would require the Domestic
Issuing Bank or UK Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to make payment under the
L/C, provided that the Domestic Issuing Bank or UK Issuing Bank, as the case may
be, may require changes in any such documents and certificates in accordance
with its customary letter of credit practices, and provided further, that no L/C
shall require payment against a conforming draft to be made thereunder on the
same Business Day that such draft is presented if such presentation is made
after 11:30 a.m. (Atlanta, Georgia time) in the case of a Domestic L/C or within
two Business Days in the case of a Foreign Currency L/C. To the extent any
application and notice shall be inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement,
then the terms of this Agreement shall prevail. Absent such inconsistency, the
terms of the application and notice and this Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect. In determining whether to pay under any L/C, the applicable
Issuing Bank shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and
certificate required to be delivered under its L/C have been delivered, and that
they comply on their face with the requirements of the L/C. Promptly after
receiving the notice of issuance of a L/C, the Administrative Agent shall notify
each Domestic Revolving Lender or Sterling Revolving Lender, as the case may be,
of such Revolving Lender's respective participation therein, determined in
accordance with its respective Pro Rata Share of the respective Revolving
Domestic or Sterling Credit Commitments on the date of the issuance of such L/C.

            (b) The Domestic Issuing Bank agrees, subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement, to issue for the account of the Domestic
Borrower one or more Domestic L/Cs, each in a face amount equal to the face
amount requested under Section 2.05(a) above, following its receipt of a notice
and the application and other documents required by Section 2.05(a). The UK
Issuing Bank agrees, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement, to issue for the account of the Sterling Borrower one or more Foreign
Currency L/Cs, each in a face amount equal to the face amount requested under
Section 2.05(a) above, following its receipt of a notice and the application and
other documents required by Section 2.05(a). Immediately upon the issuance of
each L/C, each Domestic Revolving Lender or Sterling Revolving Lender shall be
deemed to, and hereby agrees to, have irrevocably purchased from the Domestic
Issuing Bank or the UK Issuing Bank, as the case may be, a participation in such
L/C and any drawing thereunder in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender's Pro
Rata Share of the Domestic Revolving Credit Commitments or the Sterling
Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be, multiplied by the face amount
of such L/C.

            (c) Each Domestic Revolving Lender hereby purchases a participation
in the Existing Domestic L/Cs and any drawings thereunder in an amount equal to
such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Domestic Revolving Credit Commitments
multiplied by the face amount of such Existing Domestic L/Cs.

            (d) Each Sterling Revolving Lender hereby purchases a participation
in the Existing Foreign Currency L/Cs and any drawings thereunder in an amount
equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Sterling Revolving Credit
Commitments multiplied by the face amount of such Existing Foreign Currency
L/Cs.

      Section 2.06. Payment of Amounts drawn under any L/C.

            (a) In the event of any request for a drawing under a Domestic L/C
by the beneficiary thereof, the Domestic Issuing Bank shall notify the Domestic
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Domestic Revolving Lenders on or
before the date on which the Domestic Issuing Bank intends to honor such
drawing, and the Domestic Borrower agrees to reimburse the Domestic Issuing Bank
on the day on which such drawing is honored in an amount, in same day funds,
equal to the amount of such drawing, provided that anything contained in this
Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, unless the Domestic Borrower shall
have notified the Domestic


                                      -42-
<PAGE>

Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent prior to 11:30 a.m. (Atlanta, Georgia
time) on the Business Day immediately prior to the date on which such drawing is
honored, that the Domestic Borrower intends to reimburse the Domestic Issuing
Bank for the amount of such drawing with funds other than the proceeds of
Domestic Revolving Loans, the Domestic Borrower shall be deemed to have timely
given a Domestic Revolving Notice of Borrowing to the Administrative Agent
requesting Domestic Revolving Loans which are Base Rate Loans on the date on
which such drawing is honored in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing,
and the Domestic Revolving Lenders shall by 1:00 p.m. (Atlanta, Georgia time) on
the date of such drawing, make Domestic Revolving Loans which are Base Rate
Loans in the amount of such drawing, the proceeds of which shall be applied
directly by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Domestic Issuing Bank for
the amount of such drawing, provided that for the purposes solely of such
Domestic Revolving Borrowing, the conditions and requirements set forth in
Sections 2.01, 2.02, 6.01 and 6.02 hereof shall not be applicable, and provided
further that if for any reason proceeds of the Domestic Revolving Loans are not
received by the Domestic Issuing Bank on such date in the amount equal to the
amount of such drawing, the Domestic Borrower shall reimburse the Domestic
Issuing Bank on the Business Day immediately following the date of such drawing
in an amount, in US Dollars and immediately available funds, equal to the excess
of the amount of such drawing over the amount of such Domestic Revolving Loans,
if any, which are so received, plus accrued interest on the amount at the
applicable rate of interest for Base Rate Loans.

            (b) In the event of any request for a drawing under a Foreign
Currency L/C by the beneficiary thereof, the UK Issuing Bank shall notify the
Sterling Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Sterling Revolving Lenders
on or before the date on which the UK Issuing Bank intends to honor such
drawing, and the Sterling Borrower agrees to reimburse the UK Issuing Bank on
the day on which such drawing is honored in an amount, in same day funds in the
Freely Available Foreign Currency the L/C is issued under, equal to the amount
of such drawing, provided that anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, unless the Sterling Borrower shall have notified the
UK Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent prior to 11:30 a.m. (Atlanta,
Georgia time) on the Business Day three (3) Business Days prior to the date on
which such drawing is honored, that the Sterling Borrower intends to reimburse
the UK Issuing Bank for the amount of such drawing with funds other than the
proceeds of Sterling Revolving Loans, the Sterling Borrower shall be deemed to
have timely given a Sterling Revolving Notice of Borrowing to the Administrative
Agent requesting Sterling Revolving Loans on the date on which such drawing is
honored in an amount equal to the Sterling Equivalent of the amount of such

purposes solely of such Sterling Revolving Borrowing, the conditions and
requirements set forth in Sections 2.01, 2.03, 6.01 and 6.02 hereof shall not be
applicable, and provided further that if for any reason proceeds of the Sterling
Revolving Loans are not received by the UK Issuing Bank on such date in the
amount equal to the Sterling Equivalent of the amount of such drawing, the
Sterling Borrower shall reimburse the UK Issuing Bank on the Business Day

respective participation in such L/C, such Issuing Bank shall be entitled to
recover such amount on demand from such Domestic or Sterling Revolving Lender
together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate for the first two Business Days
after demand and thereafter at the Base Rate. Each Issuing Bank shall distribute
to the Administrative Agent all payments received by such Issuing Bank from the
Domestic Borrower and Sterling Borrower in reimbursement of drawings honored by
such Issuing Bank under such L/C when such payments are received. The
Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each respective Domestic or

or any of their Subsidiaries and Affiliates and the beneficiary for which such
L/C was issued);

            (c) Any draft, demand, certificate or any other document presented

statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

            (d) Payment by either Issuing Bank under any L/C against
presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not

      Section 2.10. Domestic Swingline Subcommitment.

            (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth,
the Domestic Swingline Lender agrees to make to the Domestic Borrower, from time
to time prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, Domestic Swingline Loans
in an aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time not to exceed the
Domestic Swingline Subcommitment; provided, however, that the conditions set

Borrower shall be entitled to repay and reborrow Domestic Swingline Loans in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

            (b) Each Domestic Swingline Loan shall be made as a Base Rate Loan.

            (c) Whenever the Domestic Borrower desires to make a Borrowing of
Domestic Swingline Loans, it shall give the Domestic Swingline Lender (with a

confirmed in writing) of such Borrowing (each a "Domestic Swingline Notice of

            (f) At any time on the request of the Domestic Swingline Lender,
each Domestic Revolving Lender other than the Domestic Swingline Lender shall
purchase a participating interest in all outstanding Domestic Swingline Loans in
an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such Domestic Swingline Loans, and upon
request of any Domestic Revolving Lender, the Domestic Swingline Lender shall
furnish such Domestic Revolving Lender with a certificate evidencing such
participating interest. Such purchase shall be made one Business Day after such
request is made. On the date of such required purchase, each Domestic Revolving
Lender will immediately transfer to the Domestic Swingline Lender, in
immediately available funds, the amount of its participation. At any time after
the Domestic Swingline Lender has received from any such Domestic Revolving
Lender the funds for its participating interest in a Domestic Swingline Loan, if
the Administrative Agent or the Domestic Swingline Lender receives any payment
on account thereof, the Administrative Agent or the Domestic Swingline Lender,
as the case may be, will distribute to such Domestic Revolving Lender its
participating interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of
interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Domestic
Revolving Lender's participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided,
however, that if such payment received by the Administrative Agent or the
Domestic Swingline Lender is required to be returned, such Domestic Revolving
Lender will return to the Administrative Agent or the Domestic Swingline Lender
any portion thereof previously distributed by the Administrative Agent or the
Domestic Swingline Lender to it. Each Domestic Revolving Lender's obligation to
purchase such participating interests shall be absolute and unconditional and
shall not be affected by any circumstance, including without limitation (i) any
setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Domestic
Revolving Lender or any other Person may have against the Domestic Swingline
Lender requesting such purchase or any other Person for any reason whatsoever,
(ii) the occurrence or continuation of a Default or an Event of Default or the
termination of the Domestic Revolving Credit Commitments, (iii) any adverse
change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Borrower, any of their
Subsidiaries, or any other Person, (iv) any breach of this Agreement by any
Borrower or any other Lender, or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event
whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however,
that no such obligation shall exist to the extent that the aggregate Domestic
Swingline Loans were advanced in excess of the Domestic Swingline Subcommitment
then in effect.

            (g) The Domestic Swingline Lender, at any time and from time to time
in its sole discretion, may, on behalf of the Domestic Borrower (which hereby
irrevocably authorized and direct the Domestic Swingline Lender to act on its
behalf), give a Domestic Revolving Notice of Borrowing to the Administrative
Agent requesting the Domestic Revolving Lenders (including the Domestic
Swingline Lender) to make Base Rate Loans in an amount equal to the unpaid
principal amount of any Domestic Swingline Loan. Each Domestic Revolving Lender
will make the proceeds of its Base Rate Loan included in such Borrowing
available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Domestic Swingline
Lender, which will be used solely for the repayment of such Domestic Swingline
Loans.

      Section 2.11. Sterling Swingline Subcommitment.

            (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth,
the UK Swingline Lender agrees to make to the Sterling Borrower, from time to
time prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, Sterling Swingline Loans in
an aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time not to exceed the Sterling
Swingline Subcommitment; provided, however, that the conditions set forth in
Sections 2.01, 2.03, 6.01 and 6.02 have been fulfilled before and after giving

            (b) Each Sterling Swingline Loan shall be made as a LIBOR Loan. The
principal amount of each Sterling Swingline Loan shall be at least
(pound)100,000 or a greater integral multiple of (pound)50,000.

            (c) Whenever the Sterling Borrower desires to make a Borrowing of
Sterling Swingline Loans, it shall give the UK Swingline Lender (with a copy to
the Administrative Agent) written notice (or telephonic notice promptly
confirmed in writing) of such Borrowing (each a "Sterling Swingline Notice of
Borrowing" in the form of Exhibit N attached) prior to 11:00 a.m. (Atlanta,
Georgia time) on the requested date of such Borrowing three (3) days prior to
the date of such Borrowing. Notices received after the times set forth above
shall be


                                      -46-
<PAGE>

deemed received on the next Business Day. Each Sterling Swingline Notice of
Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the aggregate principal
amount of such Borrowing in Sterling, and (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which
shall be a Business Day).

            (d) The Sterling Borrower's obligation to pay the principal of, and

            (f) At any time on the request of the UK Swingline Lender, each
Sterling Revolving Lender other than the UK Swingline Lender shall purchase a
participating interest in all outstanding Sterling Swingline Loans in an amount
equal to its Pro Rata Share of such Sterling Swingline Loans, and upon request
of any Sterling Revolving Lender, the UK Swingline Lender shall furnish such
Sterling Revolving Lender with a certificate evidencing such participating
interest. Such purchase shall be made three Business Days after such request is
made, and shall be made at the end of an Interest Period. On the date of such
required purchase, each Sterling Revolving Lender will immediately transfer to
the UK Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds in Sterling, the amount
of its participation. At any time after the UK Swingline Lender has received
from any such Sterling Revolving Lender the funds for its participating interest
in a Sterling Swingline Loan, if the Administrative Agent or the UK Swingline
Lender receives any payment on account thereof, the Administrative Agent or the
UK Swingline Lender, as the case may be, will distribute to such Sterling
Revolving Lender its participating interest in such amount (appropriately
adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during
which such Sterling Revolving Lender's participating interest was outstanding
and funded); provided, however, that if such payment received by the
Administrative Agent or the UK Swingline Lender is required to be returned, such
Sterling Revolving Lender will return to the Administrative Agent or the UK
Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the
Administrative Agent or the UK Swingline Lender to it. Each Sterling Revolving
Lender's obligation to purchase such participating interests shall be absolute
and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including
without limitation (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other
right that such Sterling Revolving Lender or any other Person may have against
the UK Swingline Lender requesting such purchase or any other Person for any
reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuation of a Default or an Event
of Default or the termination of the Sterling Revolving Credit Commitments,
(iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any
Borrower, any of their Subsidiaries, or any other Person, (iv) any breach of
this Agreement by any Borrower or any other Lender, or (v) any other
circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of
the foregoing; provided, however, that no such obligation shall exist to the
extent that the aggregate Sterling Swingline Loans were advanced in excess of
the Sterling Swingline Subcommitment then in effect.

            (g) The UK Swingline Lender, at any time and from time to time in
its sole discretion, may, on behalf of the Sterling Borrower (which hereby
irrevocably authorized and direct the UK Swingline Lender to act on its behalf),
give a Notice of Sterling Revolving Borrowing to the Administrative Agent
requesting the Lenders (including the UK Swingline Lender) to make Fourteen Day
LIBOR Loans in an amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of any Sterling
Swingline Loan. Each Lender will make the proceeds of its Fourteen Day LIBOR
Loan included in such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the UK Swingline Lender, which will be used solely for the repayment
of such Sterling Swingline Loans.

      Section 2.12. Reductions of Revolving Credit Commitments.

            (a) Upon at least five (5) days' prior written notice (or telephonic
notice promptly confirmed in writing) from the Domestic Borrower or the Sterling
Borrower to the Administrative Agent, the Domestic Borrower or the Sterling
Borrower shall have the right, without premium or penalty, to reduce the

subcommitment thereof, in part or to terminate the respective Domestic or

Loans, the Dollar Equivalent of all Sterling Revolving Loans (determined as of
the most recent Determination Date), the Dollar Equivalent of all Sterling
Swingline Loans (determined as of the most recent Determination Date) and all
L/C Obligations (determined as of the most recent Determination Date).

      Section 5.01. Disbursement of Funds.

            (a) Not later than 2:00 p.m. (Atlanta, Georgia time) on the date of
any requested Domestic or Sterling Borrowing , each respective Lender, as
applicable, will make available its Pro Rata Share of the amount of such
Domestic or Sterling Borrowing in immediately available funds at the Payment
Office. The Administrative Agent will make available to the Borrower requesting
such Borrowing the aggregate of the amounts (if any) so made available by such
Lenders to the Administrative Agent in a timely manner by crediting such amounts
to such


                                      -49-
<PAGE>

Borrower's demand deposit account maintained with the Administrative Agent or,
at the Borrower Representative's option, by effecting a wire transfer of such
amounts to any other account specified by the Borrower Representative to the
Administrative Agent in writing, by the close of business on such Business Day.
In the event that any such Lender does not make its Pro Rata Share of such
Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent by the time prescribed above,
but such amount is received by the Administrative Agent later that day, such
amount may be credited to such Borrower in the manner described in the preceding
sentence on the next Business Day (with interest on such amount to begin
accruing hereunder on such next Business Day).

            (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any
Lender prior to the date of a Borrowing of Revolving Loans or Term Loans that
such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such
Lender's portion of the Borrowing to be made on such date, the Administrative
Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the
Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may make
available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. If such
corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent
by such Lender on the date of Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender
together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate if such Lender pays the
Administrative Agent within two Business Days after demand, and otherwise at the
Base Rate. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon
the Agent's demand therefor, the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower
Representative, and the applicable Borrower shall immediately pay such
corresponding amount to the Agent together with interest at the rate specified
for the Borrowing. Nothing in this subsection shall be deemed to relieve any
Lender from its obligation to fund its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any
rights which any Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default
by such Lender hereunder.

            (c) All Borrowings comprising the Revolving Loans shall be made by
the Domestic Revolving Lenders and the Sterling Revolving Lenders on the basis
of their Pro Rata Shares of the Domestic Revolving Credit Commitments and the
Sterling Revolving Commitments, respectively. All Borrowings comprising the Term
Loans shall be made by the Term Lenders on the basis of their Pro Rata Shares of
the Term A Loan Commitments and the Term B Loan Commitments, respectively. No

a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month
at the end of such Interest Period shall, subject to part (iv) below, expire on
the last Business Day of such calendar month;

            (iv) No Interest Period shall extend beyond any date upon which any

will expire on or before the date of the respective payment or prepayment, is
equal to or in excess of the amount of any such principal payments or
prepayments to be made;

otherwise applicable for the then-current Interest Period plus an additional two
percent (2%) per annum;

            (ii) in the case of Loans outstanding as Base Rate Loans and all
other Obligations hereunder, at the rate otherwise then in effect for Base Rate

provided that no Loan shall bear interest after maturity (whether by
acceleration, notice of prepayment or otherwise) at a rate per annum less than
two percent (2%) per annum in excess of the original rate of interest applicable
thereto at maturity; provided, further, that in no event shall the Applicable
LIBOR Margin be greater than five percent (5%) per annum (the "Margin Cap"), but
the rate may be increased over the Margin Cap as a result of the Whitewash
Interest Increase or a Warrant Interest Increase.

      Section 5.05. Fees.

            (a) On the Closing Date, the Domestic Borrower and the Sterling

including the Revolving Credit Termination Date, equal to the average daily
unused portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments multiplied by the Applicable
Commitment Fee Percentage. The Revolving Credit Commitment Fee shall be payable
quarterly in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter, commencing on

            (c) The Domestic Borrower and the Sterling Borrower, as the case may
be, agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of each

Sterling Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be a letter of credit fee
for standby letters of credit (the "Standby L/C Fee") for the period commencing
on the Original Closing Date to and including the Revolving Credit Termination
Date, equal to the Applicable LIBOR Margin then in effect multiplied by the L/C
Obligations consisting of standby letters of credit; provided, however, that if
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Standby L/C Fee shall be
increased to an amount equal to two percentage points above the Applicable LIBOR
Margin then in effect multiplied by the L/C Obligations consisting of standby
letters of credit. The Standby L/C Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on
the last day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the last day of the

each Revolving Lender based upon its respective Pro Rata Share of the Domestic
and


                                      -52-
<PAGE>

Sterling Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be a letter of credit fee
for commercial/trade letters of credit (the "Commercial L/C Fee"), payable at
the time of issuance, for the period commencing on the Original Closing Date to
and including the Revolving Credit Termination Date, equal to .25% of the face
amount on issuance and/or increases for each 90 day period and 1% per annum of
the face amount on acceptance of a draw under a L/C plus usual and customary
bank charges for the Issuing Bank's account as agreed upon between Issuing Bank
and the Domestic Borrower or the Sterling Borrower; provided, however, that if
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Commercial L/C Fee shall
be increased to an amount equal to two percentage points above the fee then in
effect. Fees payable for Foreign Currency L/C's shall be paid in Dollars.

            (d) The Domestic Borrower agrees to pay to the Domestic Issuing Bank
for its own account, a facing fee (the "Domestic Facing Fee") for the period
commencing on the Original Closing Date to and including the Revolving Credit
Termination Date, equal to 0.25% per annum multiplied by the Domestic L/C
Obligations, plus customary issuance and administration fees. The Sterling
Borrower agrees to pay to the UK Issuing Bank for its own account a facing fee
(the "UK Facing Fee" payable in Dollars; together with the Domestic Facing Fee,
the "Facing Fees") for the period commencing on the Original Closing Date to and
including the Revolving Credit Termination Date, equal to 0.25% per annum
multiplied by the Foreign Currency L/C Obligations, plus customary issuance and
administration fees. The Facing Fees shall be payable quarterly in arrears on
the last day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the last day of the
calendar quarter in which the first L/C is issued, and on the Revolving Credit
Termination Date.

thereto, all compensation payments required pursuant to Section 5.16. The
Domestic Borrower and Sterling Borrower may designate the Types of Loans and the
specific Borrowings of Revolving Loans that are to be prepaid as part of any
prepayment pursuant to this Section 5.06(a), provided that (i) if any prepayment
of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing of Domestic Revolving Loans
shall reduce the outstanding Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount
less than $500,000, such Borrowing shall immediately be converted into Base Rate
Loans, (ii) if any prepayment of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing
of Sterling Revolving Loans shall reduce the outstanding Loans made pursuant to
such Borrowing to an amount less than (pound) 500,000 such Borrowing shall
immediately be converted into a Sterling Swingline Loan, and (iii) each
prepayment made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among
the Loans comprising such Borrowing. In the absence of a designation by the
Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent shall make such designation in
its sole discretion.

                                      -53-
<PAGE>

            (b) The Domestic Borrower may, at its option, prepay the Term B

the date of prepayment (which date shall be the last day of a calendar month),
(ii) whether such prepayment shall be applied to Term A Loans or Term B Loans
and (iii) the principal amount to be prepaid.

            (d) Each payment made pursuant to this Section 5.07 shall be applied

      Section 5.08. Mandatory Prepayments of Loans.

            (a) The Borrowers shall prepay the Loans in accordance with Section
5.08(e) below in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Cash
Proceeds of all sales or dispositions consummated after the Original Closing

with a detailed calculation showing all deductions from gross proceeds in order
to arrive at Net Cash Proceeds.

            (b) The Borrowers shall prepay the Loans in accordance with Section

            (c) The Borrowers shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to one
hundred percent (100%) of the Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance by any

any Borrower of any such Net Cash Proceeds.

            (d) The Borrowers shall, concurrently with the delivery of the
financial information required under Section 8.07(a) with respect to each Fiscal
Year (but in no event later than the date such information is required to be
delivered), commencing with the delivery of the financial information with
respect to Fiscal Year 2002, make a mandatory prepayment of the outstanding
principal amount of the Term Loans pro rata (i) in an amount equal to fifty
percent (50%) of Excess Cash Flow; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall
not be required to prepay the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 5.08(d) with
respect to any Fiscal Year, to the extent any such prepayment would cause the
sum of (A) the amount of prepayments of the Term Loans made during such Fiscal
Year pursuant to this Section 5.08(d), plus (B) the amount of principal
repayments of the Term Loans made during such Fiscal Year pursuant to Section
3.01(c) and 4.01(c), to be (in Sterling and Dollars) in excess of the Dollar
Equivalent of $6,000,000.

            (e) Prepayments required under subsections (a), (b) and (c) of this
Section 5.08 shall be applied as follows: first to the Administrative Agent's
Fee and reimbursable expenses of the Administrative Agent then due and payable
pursuant to any of the Credit Documents; second, to all other Fees and
reimbursable expenses of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks then due and payable
pursuant to any of the Credit Documents, to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks
based on their respective pro rata share of such expenses; third, to the
interest then due and payable on the Term Loans made to the Term Lenders based
on their respective Pro Rata Shares of the aggregate outstanding principal
amounts of the Term Loans, fourth, to the principal balance of the Term Loans
applied against the remaining installments of principal due in respect of the
Term Loans, in the inverse order of maturity,


                                      -54-
<PAGE>

until the same shall have been paid in full, to the Term Lenders based on their
respective Pro Rata Shares of the aggregate outstanding principal amounts of the
Term Loan, fifth, if required pursuant to subsections 5.08(a), (b) and (c)
above, to the interest then due and payable on the Revolving Loans made to the
Revolving Lenders based on their respective Pro Rata Shares of both aggregate
outstanding principal amounts of all Revolving Loans, sixth, if required
pursuant to subsections 5.08(a), (b) and (c) above, to the principal balance of
the Sterling and Domestic Revolving Loans applied against the aggregate
outstanding principal amounts of all Revolving Loans, until the same shall have
been paid in full, pro rata to the Revolving Lenders based on their respective
Pro Rata Shares of the aggregate outstanding principal amounts of all Revolving
Loans; provided, however, in connection with any prepayment required under
Section 5.08(a), if the prepayment of the Term A Loan shall, at the time, be
unlawful because of the failure of the Sterling Borrower and its subsidiaries to
complete the Whitewash Procedure, then such prepayment shall be made immediately
upon the completion of the Whitewash Procedure.

            (f) If at any time the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the
Domestic Revolving Loans, the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of Sterling Revolving Loans (as of the most recent
Determination Date), the aggregate amount of L/C Obligations (as of the most
recent Determination Date), the aggregate outstanding principal amount of
Domestic Swingline Loans and the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of Sterling Swingline Loans (as of the most recent
Determination Date) exceeds the Borrowing Limit, as reduced pursuant to Section
2.12(a) or otherwise (a "Revolving Credit Deficiency"), the Domestic Borrower
shall immediately repay the Domestic Revolving Loans and the Domestic Swingline
Loans and the Sterling Borrower shall immediately repay the Sterling Revolving
Loans and the Sterling Swingline Loans in an amount equal to such excess,
together with all accrued and unpaid interest on such excess amount and any
amounts due under Section 5.16. Each such prepayment by the Domestic Borrower
shall be applied first to the Domestic Swingline Loans to the full extent
thereof, then to Base Rate Loans comprising Domestic Revolving Loans to the full
extent thereof, and finally to LIBOR Loans comprising Domestic Revolving Loans
to the full extent thereof. Each such prepayment by the Sterling Borrower shall
be applied first to the Sterling Swingline Loans to the full extent thereof, and
finally to Sterling Revolving Loans to the full extent thereof. In the event
that following such repayment of Domestic and Sterling Revolving Loans and
Domestic and Sterling Swingline Loans, there remains a Revolving Credit
Deficiency, (i) the Domestic Borrower shall immediately deliver to the
Administrative Agent an amount in Dollars equal to the amount of such excess, to
be delivered to and held by the Domestic Issuing Bank in the Cash Collateral
Account of the Domestic Issuing Bank, or (ii) the Sterling Borrower shall
immediately deliver to the Administrative Agent an amount in Sterling equal to
the amount of such excess, to be delivered to and held by the UK Issuing Bank in
the Cash Collateral Account of the UK Issuing Bank. In the event that following
such repayment of Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans, and collateralization of
L/C Obligations, a Revolving Credit Deficiency still exists, the Holdings
Borrower shall prepay the Term A Loans, to be applied against installments in
the inverse order of maturity, and the Domestic Borrower shall prepay the Term B
Loans, to be applied against installments in the inverse order of maturity,
until such Revolving Credit Deficiency does not exist. All such payments to the
Lenders pursuant to this Section 5.08(f) in respect of the Loans specified
herein shall be made to the respective Lenders for such loans in accordance with
their respective Pro Rata Shares of such Loans.

            (g) Term A Loans are outstanding in the amount of (pound)
9,934,432.74, which is the Sterling Equivalent of $15,000,000, as of the date of
funding the Term A Loans. If at any Determination Date the aggregate amounts
outstanding under the Term A Loans exceeds the Dollar Equivalent of the
principal amount of the Term A Loans then permitted to be outstanding hereunder,
after giving effect to the Dollar Equivalent of all required payments and
prepayments thereof, then the amount of such excess shall automatically reduce
the Borrowing Availability of the Domestic Borrower and the Sterling Borrower by
the Dollar Equivalent of such excess, and if, after giving effect thereto, there
is then no Borrowing Availability, then the Sterling Borrower and/or the
Domestic Borrower shall pay an aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans or
Term Loans to reduce the Dollar Equivalent outstanding under all the Loans and
L/C Obligations to be equal to or less than the total Dollar Equivalent of the
Revolving Credit Commitment Amount plus the principal amount of the Term Loans
then permitted to be outstanding hereunder after giving effect to the Dollar
Equivalent of required amortization payments and prepayments thereof (the Dollar
Equivalent of the required amortization payments being shown on Schedule 5.08),
with all accrued interest on such amounts paid plus all compensation payments
required under Section 5.16. Payments shall be applied in the following order:
first to all Domestic and Sterling Swingline


                                      -55-
<PAGE>

Loans; second to all other Sterling and Domestic Revolving Loans; third to cash
collaterlize all L/C Obligations; fourth to Term A Loans, in the inverse order
of installments; fifth to Term B Loans, in inverse order of installments. All
such payments to the Lenders pursuant to this Section 5.08(g) in respect of the
Loans specified herein shall be made to the respective Lenders for such loans in
accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares of such Loans.

      Section 5.09. Payments, etc.

            (a) All payments and prepayments of principal, interest and fees
with respect to the Loans or L/C's or other Obligations shall be made without
set-off or counterclaim not later than 1:00 p.m. (Atlanta, Georgia time) on the
date when due and in immediately available funds at the Payment Office of the
Administrative Agent and in Dollars or Sterling, as applicable.

            (b) (i) Any and all payments by any Borrower hereunder or under the
Notes shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all
present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings,
and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender,
taxes imposed on or measured by its net income and franchise taxes (all such
excluded net income taxes and franchise taxes, collectively referred to as the
"Excluded Taxes"; all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions,
charges, withholdings and liabilities being collectively referred to in this
Section 5.09(b) as "Taxes"). If any Borrower shall be required by law to deduct
any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note to
any Lender, (x) the sum so payable shall be increased by such amount (the
"Gross-up Amount") as may be necessary so that after making all required
deductions (including deductions with respect to Taxes and Excluded Taxes owed
by such Lender on the Gross-up Amount payable under this Section 5.09(b)(i))
such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no
such deductions been made, (y) such Borrower shall make such deductions, and (z)
such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation
authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law subject to
section 5.09 (b)(iii) and (iv).

                  (ii) The Borrowers will indemnify each Lender for the full
      amount of Taxes (together with any Taxes or Excluded Taxes owed by such
      Lender applicable to the Gross-up Amount payable under clause (x) of
      Section 5.09(b)(i) or on the indemnification payments made by such
      Borrower under this Section 5.09(b)(ii), but without duplication thereof),
      and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising
      therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or such
      Excluded Taxes were correctly or legally asserted, so as to compensate
      such Lender for any loss, cost, expense or liability incurred as a
      consequence of any such Taxes. Payment pursuant to such indemnification
      shall be made within ten (10) days from the date such Lender makes written
      demand therefor. Within thirty (30) days after the date of any Borrower's
      payment of Taxes, such Borrower will furnish to the relevant Lender, at
      its appropriate Lending Office, the original or a certified copy of a
      receipt evidencing payment thereof.

                  (iii) Each Lender that is not a "United States Person" as
defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) hereby agrees that:

                        (A) it shall, prior to the time it becomes a Lender
            hereunder, deliver to the Borrower Representative and the
            Administrative Agent:

                              (1) for each Lending Office located in the United
                  States, three (3) accurate and complete signed originals of
                  Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto
                  ("Form W-8ECI"), and/or

                              (2) for each Lending Office located outside the
                  United States, three (3) accurate and complete signed
                  originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or any
                  successor thereto ("Form W-8BEN");

            in each case indicating that such Lender, on the date of delivery
            thereof, is entitled to receive payments of principal, interest and
            fees for the account of such Lending Office under this Agreement and
            the Notes free from withholding of United States Federal income tax;
            provided, that if the Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN, as the case may
            be, supplied by a Lender fails to establish a complete exemption
            from United States withholding tax as of the date such Lender
            becomes a Lender, such Lender shall, within 15 days after a written
            request from the Borrower Representative or the Administrative
            Agent, deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative
            Agent the forms or other documents necessary to establish a complete
            exemption from United States withholding tax as of such date;

                        (B) if at any time such Lender changes its Lending
            Office or selects an additional Lending Office, it shall, at the
            same time or reasonably promptly thereafter (but only to the extent
            the forms previously delivered by it hereunder are no longer
            effective) deliver to the Borrower Representative and the
            Administrative Agent in replacement for the forms previously
            delivered by it hereunder:

                              (1) for such changed or additional applicable
                  Lending Office located in the United States, three (3)
                  accurate and complete signed originals of Form W-8ECI; or

                              (2) otherwise, three (3) accurate and complete
                  signed originals of Form W-8BEN;

            in each case indicating that such Lender is on the date of delivery
            thereof entitled to receive payments of principal, interest and fees
            for the account of such changed or additional Lending Office under
            this Agreement and the Notes, free from withholding of United States
            Federal income tax.

                  (iv) In addition to the documents to be furnished pursuant to
      Section 5.09(b)(iii), each Lender shall promptly deliver to the Borrower
      Representative and the Administrative Agent such other accurate and
      complete forms or similar documentation as such Lender is legally able to
      provide and as may be required from time to time by any applicable law,
      treaty, rule or regulation of any jurisdiction in order to establish such
      Lender's tax status for withholding purposes or as may otherwise be
      appropriate to eliminate or minimize any Taxes, or deduction or
      withholdings of Taxes from, on payments under this Agreement and the
      Notes, including, without limitation, copies of all signed United Kingdom
      Forms REF FD 13, certified by U.K. Inland Revenue and Internal Revenue
      Service exemption forms.

                  (v) Each Lender shall use reasonable efforts to avoid or
      minimize any amounts which might otherwise be payable by any Borrower
      pursuant to this Section 5.09(b), except to the extent that a Lender
      determines that such efforts would be disadvantageous to such Lender, as
      determined by such Lender and which determination, if made in good faith,
      shall be binding and conclusive on all parties hereto.

                  (vi) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement
      of any Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrowers
      and the Lenders contained in this Section 5.09(b) shall survive the
      termination of this Agreement and the payment in full of the principal of,
      premium, if any, interest, and fees hereunder and under the Notes.

            (c) Subject to Section 5.03(ii), whenever any payment to be made
hereunder or under any Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a
Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding
Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall
be payable at the applicable rate during such extension.


                                      -57-

            (d) All computations of interest accruing at the Base Rate and LIBOR
(if such LIBOR Loans are made in Sterling) shall be made on the basis of a year
of 365 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding
the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable (to the
extent computed on the basis of days elapsed), and all computations of Fees and
interest accruing at LIBOR (if such LIBOR Loans are made in Dollars) shall be
made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including
the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such
interest or fees are payable (to the extent computed on the basis of days
elapsed). Interest on the Term Loans shall be calculated from and including the
Original Closing Date but excluding the date of the repayment of all or any
portion thereof. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of the Base Rate
or LIBOR, the interest rates applicable after an Event of Default or any Fee
hereunder shall be made in good faith and, except for manifest error, shall be
final, conclusive and binding for all purposes.

            (e) Payment by any Borrower to the Administrative Agent in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall, as to such Borrower,
constitute payment to the applicable Lenders under this Agreement.

            (f) Any Lender not organized under the laws of the United Kingdom
must, prior to the time it becomes a Lender, furnish the Company and
Administrative Agent with forms or certificates as may be appropriate to verify
that such Lender has completed the appropriate forms and certificates and
delivered them to the Internal Revenue Service of the United States to be
processed.

      Section 5.10. Apportionment of Payments; Allocation of Proceeds from
Collateral.

            (a) Aggregate principal and interest payments in respect of Loans
shall be apportioned among all outstanding Loans to which such payments relate,
proportionately to the Lenders' respective Pro Rata Shares of such outstanding
Loans. The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender at its
primary address set forth beside its name on the appropriate signature page
hereof or such other address as any Lender may request, its Pro Rata Share of
all such payments received by the Administrative Agent.

Any payments received by the Administrative Agent as a result of the exercise of
remedies under Collateral Documents shall be applied as follows: first, the
costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and any Person appointed by the
Administrative Agent or any Credit Party in connection with the exercise of
remedies under the Collateral Documents, second, to the Fees and reimbursable
expenses of the Administrative Agent then due and payable pursuant to any of the
Credit Documents; third, to the reimbursable expenses of the Lenders then due
and payable pursuant to any of the Credit Documents, pro rata to such Lenders
based upon their respective pro rata shares of such expenses; fourth, to the
Fees and interest then due and payable to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank
pursuant to any of the Credit Documents, pro rata to the Lenders and Issuing
Banks based upon their respective pro rata shares of such Fees and interest;
fifth, to the principal balance of the outstanding Swingline Loans, until the
same shall have been paid in full pro rata to the Swingline Lenders; sixth, to
the principal balance of the Revolving Loans and the Term Loans (in inverse
order of maturity), until the same shall have been paid in full, pro rata to the
Revolving Lenders and the Term Lenders based on their respective pro rata shares
of the aggregate Revolving Loans and Term Loans outstanding at the time of
application of proceeds; seventh, to the Cash Collateral Accounts to be held by
the Issuing Banks as cash collateral for the L/C Obligations then outstanding in
an amount equal to the then outstanding L/C Obligations, distributed pro rata to
the Issuing Banks based on their respective outstanding L/C Obligations, and
eighth, to the payment of any amounts then due and payable to any Lender under
any Interest Rate Contracts to which any Credit Party is a party and any Lender
is a counterparty, pro rata to the Lenders based on their respective pro rata
shares of all such obligations owed to the Lenders at such time. In the
application of the foregoing, all payments received by the Administrative Agent
as a result of the exercise of remedies under the Collateral Documents shall be
applied in such a manner that the expenses related to and proceeds of such
realization and the pro rata allocations shall be allocated to the fullest
extent possible to the Obligations specifically secured by the respective
Collateral Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, it is the intention that
expenses, proceeds and pro rata calculations relating to Collateral Documents
securing repayment of Sterling Obligations for the benefit of Sterling Lenders
shall be allocated to the Sterling Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, it
is the intention that expenses, proceeds and pro rata calculations relating to
Collateral


                                      -58-
<PAGE>

Documents securing repayment of both Domestic and Sterling Obligations for the
benefit of both Sterling Lenders and Domestic Lenders shall be allocated to the
aggregate of such Sterling and Domestic Obligations.

      Section 5.11. Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any
payment or reduction (including, without limitation, any amounts received as
adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy
Code but excluding principal and interest payments in respect of the Loans and
Fees paid under Section 5.05 prior to the exercise of remedies under the
Collateral Documents) of any Obligation of any Borrower hereunder (whether
voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or
otherwise) in excess of its Pro Rata Share of payments or reductions on account
of such obligations obtained by all Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith (i)
notify the Administrative Agent of such receipt, and (ii) purchase from the
other Lenders such participations in the affected Obligations as shall be
necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or
reduction, net of costs incurred in connection therewith, ratably with each of
them, provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment or reduction is
thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender or additional costs are
incurred, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the
extent of such recovery or such additional costs, but without interest unless
such Lender obligated to return such funds is required to pay interest on such
funds at the Federal Funds Rate. The Borrowers agree that any Lender so
purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 5.11
may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment
(including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as
if such Lender were the direct creditor of any Borrower in the amount of such
participation.

      Section 5.12. Interest Rate Not Ascertainable; etc. In the event that the
Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be made in
good faith and, absent manifest error, shall be final, conclusive and binding
upon all parties) that on any date for determining LIBOR for any Interest
Period, by reason of (a) (i) any changes arising after the date of this
Agreement affecting the London interbank market or (ii) the Administrative
Agent's position in such markets, adequate and fair means do not exist for
ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the
definition of LIBOR or (b) the interest rate for LIBOR Loans pursuant to the
basis provided for in the definition of LIBOR does not adequately reflect the
cost to the Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their LIBOR Loan for such
Interest Period then and in any such event, the Administrative Agent shall
forthwith give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower
Representative and to the Lenders of such determination and a summary of the
basis for such determination. Until the Administrative Agent notifies the
Borrower Representative that the circumstances giving rise to the suspension
described herein no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Lenders to permit
portions of the Loans to remain outstanding as LIBOR Loans shall be suspended
and (ii) (x) all such affected LIBOR Loans (other than Sterling Loans) shall
bear the same interest as Base Rate Loans, and (y) all such affected Sterling
Loans consisting of LIBOR Loans shall bear the same interest as Fourteen Day
LIBOR Loans (or if the Fourteen Day LIBOR rate is not reflective of the cost to
the Lenders of funding or maintaining any Loan from any reasonable source they
may select, interest at the rate that reflects such cost, calculated by the
Administrative Agent).

      Section 5.13. Illegality.

            (a) In the event that any Lender shall have determined (which
determination shall be made in good faith and, absent manifest error, shall be
final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) at any time that the making or
continuance of any LIBOR Loan has become unlawful by compliance by such Lender
in good faith with any applicable law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline
or order (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not failure to
comply therewith would be unlawful), then, in any such event, such Lender shall
give prompt notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower
Representative and to the Administrative Agent of such determination and a
summary of the basis for such determination (which notice the Administrative
Agent shall promptly transmit to the other Lenders).

            (b) Upon the giving of the notice to the Borrower Representative
referred to in subsection (a) above, each Borrower's right to request and such
Lender's obligation to fund its portion of LIBOR Loans shall be immediately
suspended, whereupon any request for a LIBOR Loan shall, as to such Lender only,
(A) if such Loan is not a Sterling Loan, be deemed to have been a request for a
Base Rate Loan and (B) if such Loan is a Sterling


                                      -59-
<PAGE>

Loan, shall be deemed to have been a request for a Loan in Sterling at such rate
of interest as is available to such Lender, and if match-funding for such
Sterling Loan is still unavailable, such request be deemed to have been a
request for a Loan in Dollars, unless and until such Lender shall advise the
Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no
longer exist. In addition, such Lender may require that all outstanding LIBOR
Loans made by it (A) if such Loans are not Sterling Loans, be converted to Base
Rate Loans, and (B) if such Loans are Sterling Loans be converted to Sterling
Loans at another available interest rate, and if such rate is unavailable, to
Dollar Loans; provided that if more than one Lender is affected at any time,
then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section
5.13(b).

            (c) For purposes of this Section 5.13, a notice to the Borrower
Representative by any Lender shall be effective as to each such Loan, if lawful,
on the last day of the Interest Period currently applicable thereto and in all
other cases, such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the
Borrower Representative.

      Section 5.14. Increased Costs.

            (a) If, by reason of (x) after the date hereof, the introduction of
or any change (including, without limitation, any change by way of imposition or
increase of reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation of any law or
regulation, or (y) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central
bank or other Governmental Authority or quasi-governmental authority exercising
control over banks or financial institutions generally (whether or not having
the force of law):

                  (i) any Lender (or its applicable Lending Office) shall be
subject to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to its portion of a
Borrowing consisting of LIBOR Loans or its obligation to fund a portion of a
Borrowing consisting of LIBOR Loans or the basis of taxation of payments to any
Lender of the principal of or interest on its portion of a Borrowing consisting
of LIBOR Loans), or its obligation to fund a portion of a Borrowing consisting
of LIBOR Loans shall have changed (except for changes in the tax on the overall
net income of such Lender or its applicable Lending Office imposed by the
jurisdiction in which such Lender's principal executive office or applicable
Lending Office is located); or

                  (ii) any reserve (including, without limitation, any imposed
by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), special deposit or
similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or
credit extended by, any Lender's applicable Lending Office shall be imposed or
deemed applicable or any other condition affecting its portion of a Borrowing
consisting of LIBOR Loans or its obligation to fund a portion of a Borrowing
consisting of LIBOR Loans shall be imposed on any Lender or its applicable
Lending Office or the London interbank market;

and as a result thereof there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender
of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining a portion of a Borrowing
consisting of LIBOR Loans (except to the extent already included in the
determination of the applicable interest rate in effect for such portion of a
Borrowing consisting of LIBOR Loans), or there shall be a reduction in the
amount received or receivable by such Lender or its applicable Lending Office,
then the Borrowers shall from time to time (subject, in the case of certain
Taxes, to the applicable provisions of Section 5.09(b)), upon written notice
from and demand by such Lender on the Borrower Representative (with a copy of
such notice and demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of such Lender, within five (5) Business Days after the
date of such notice and demand, additional amounts sufficient to indemnify such
Lender against such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such
increased cost, submitted to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative
Agent by such Lender in good faith and accompanied by a statement prepared by
such Lender describing in reasonable detail the basis for and calculation of
such increased cost, shall, except for manifest error, be final, conclusive and
binding for all purposes.

            (b) If any Lender shall advise the Administrative Agent that at any
time, because of the circumstances described in clauses (x) or (y) in Section
5.14(a) or any other circumstances beyond such Lender's reasonable control
arising after the date of this Agreement affecting such Lender or the London
interbank market or such Lender's position in such market, that LIBOR, as
determined by the Administrative Agent, will not


                                      -60-
<PAGE>

adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of funding its portion of
a Borrowing consisting of LIBOR Loans, then, and in any such event:

                  (i) the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice (by
telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower Representative and to the other
Lenders of such advice;

                  (ii) each Borrower's right to request and such Lender's
obligation to make or permit portions of the Borrowings to remain outstanding as
a LIBOR Loan shall be immediately suspended until such Lender advises the
Administrative Agent that the reasons for such suspension no longer exist; and

                  (iii) such Lender shall make a Loan (which, in the case of a
Sterling Borrowing, shall be made in Dollars at the Dollar Equivalent thereof)
as part of the requested Borrowing consisting of LIBOR Loans as a Base Rate
Loan, which Base Rate Loan shall, for all other purposes, be considered part of
such Borrowing.

      Section 5.15. Lending Offices.

            (a) Each Lender agrees that, if requested by the Borrower
Representative, it will use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy
considerations of such Lender) to designate an alternate Lending Office with
respect to any of its portions of LIBOR Loans affected by the matters or
circumstances described in Sections 5.12, 5.13, 5.14 and 12.20, to reduce the
liability of the Borrowers or avoid the results provided thereunder, so long as
such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender as determined by such
Lender, which determination if made in good faith, shall be conclusive and
binding on all parties hereto. Nothing in this Section 5.15 shall affect or
postpone any of the obligations of such Borrower or any right of any Revolving
Lender provided hereunder.

            (b) If any Lender that is organized under the laws of any
jurisdiction other than the United States issues a public announcement with
respect to the closing of its lending offices in the United States such that any
withholdings or deductions and additional payments with respect to Taxes may be
required to be made by the Borrowers thereafter pursuant to Section 5.09(b),
such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to furnish the Borrower Representative
notice thereof as soon as practicable thereafter; provided, however, that no
delay or failure to furnish such notice shall in any event release or discharge
the Borrowers from their obligations to such Lender pursuant to Section 5.09(b)
or otherwise result in any liability of such Lender.

      Section 5.16. Funding Losses. Each Borrower agrees to compensate each
Lender, upon such Lender's written request to the Borrower Representative (which
request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts in reasonable
detail and which request shall be made in good faith and, absent manifest error,
shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all of the parties hereto), for all
losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any interest
paid by such Lender to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its
portions of LIBOR Loans and any amounts required to be paid by any Lender as a
result of currency fluctuation of Sterling borrowed by the Sterling Borrower or
the Holdings Borrower, in either case to the extent not recovered by such Lender
in connection with the re-employment of such funds and including loss of
anticipated profits), which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason
(other than a default by such Lender) a borrowing of, or conversion to or
continuation of, LIBOR Loans to such Borrower does not occur on the date
specified therefor in a notice given by the Borrower Representative to the
Administrative Agent as provided herein (whether or not withdrawn), (ii) if any
repayment (including mandatory prepayments and any conversions pursuant to
Section 5.13(b) or Section 5.14) of any LIBOR Loans to such Borrower occurs on a
date which is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, or
(iii), if, for any reason, such Borrower defaults in its obligation to repay its
LIBOR Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement.

      Section 5.17. Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Loans. Calculation
of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Agreement shall be made as though
that Lender had actually funded its portions of relevant LIBOR Loans through the
purchase of deposits in the relevant market bearing interest at the rate
applicable to such LIBOR Loans in an amount equal to the amount of its portions
of the LIBOR Loans and


                                      -61-
<PAGE>

having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period and, in the case of
LIBOR Loans, through the transfer of such LIBOR Loans from an offshore office of
that Lender to a U. S. office of that Lender in the United States; provided,
however, that each Lender may fund its portions of each of the LIBOR Loans in
any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be used only for
calculation of amounts payable under Sections 5.13 through 5.16.

      Section 5.18. Capital Adequacy. Without limiting any other provision of
this Agreement, in the event that any Lender shall have determined that any law,
treaty, governmental (or quasi-governmental) rule, regulation, guideline or
order regarding capital adequacy not currently in effect or fully applicable as
of the Closing Date, or any change therein or in the interpretation or
application thereof, or compliance by such Lender with any request or directive
regarding capital adequacy not currently in effect or fully applicable as of the
Closing Date (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not failure
to comply therewith would be unlawful) from a central bank or Governmental
Authority or body having jurisdiction, does or shall have the effect of reducing
the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation owning or
controlling such Lender as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level
below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such law, treaty, rule,
regulation, guideline or order, or such change or compliance (taking into
consideration such Lender's policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an
amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then within ten (10) days after
written notice and demand by such Lender to the Borrower Representative (with
copies thereof to the Administrative Agent), each Borrower agrees to pay such
Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such
reduction. Each certificate as to the amount payable under this Section 5.18
(which certificate shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts in
reasonable detail), submitted to the Borrower Representative by any Lender in
good faith, shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding for
all purposes.

      Section 5.19. Right to Replace Lenders. If (i) any Taxes referred to in
Section 5.09(b) have been levied or imposed so as to require withholdings or
deductions by any Borrower and payment by any Borrower of additional amounts to
any Lender as a result thereof, (ii) any Lender determines that LIBOR is illegal
pursuant to Section 5.13, or (iii) any Lender shall make demand for payment of
increased costs or reduced rate of return pursuant to Section 5.14 or Section
5.18, then and in such event, upon request from the Borrower Representative
delivered to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall assign,
in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.06(c), all of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents to another
Lender or another financial institution selected by Borrower Representative and
acceptable to the Administrative Agent, in consideration for (x) the payment by
such assignee to the Lender of the principal of, and interest on, the
outstanding Loans accrued to the date of such assignment, and the assumption of
such Lender's Commitments hereunder, together with any and all other amounts
owing to such Lender under any provisions of this Agreement or the other Credit
Documents accrued to the date of such assignment and (y) the payment by the
Borrowers of all compensation payments required pursuant to Section 5.16;
provided, however, Lenders subject to this Section 5.19 shall be treated in a
substantially identical manner.

      Section 5.20. Failure to Pay in Appropriate Currency. If the Sterling
Borrower or the Holdings Borrower is unable for any reason to effect payment of
a Sterling Loan in Sterling as required hereunder or if the Sterling Borrower or
the Holdings Borrower shall default in the payment when due of any payment in
Sterling, the Lenders may, at their option, require such payment to be made to
the Administrative Agent in the Dollar Equivalent of such Sterling payment at
the Administrative Agent's Payment Office specified for payments of Loans in US
Dollars. In any such case, each of the Sterling Borrower and the Holdings
Borrower agrees to hold Lenders harmless from any loss incurred by such Lender
arising from any change in the value of US Dollars in relation to Sterling
between the date such payment became due and the date of payment thereof.

      Section 5.21. Effect of Monetary Union. If the country of any national
currency in which any amount is expressed to be payable under this Agreement
participates in the Economic and Monetary Union in accordance with article 109J
of the treaty on the European Union, then:


                                      -62-
<PAGE>

            (a)   any amount expressed to be payable under this Agreement in
                  that national currency shall be made in that national currency
                  or in Euro as the Administrative Agent may, by not less than
                  three Business Days' notice to the relevant Borrower to that
                  effect, require;

            (b)   any amount so required to be paid in Euros shall be converted
                  from that national currency at the rate stipulated pursuant to
                  Article 109L(4) of the Treaty on European Union and payment of
                  the amount in Euros derived from such conversion shall
                  discharge the obligation of the relevant party to pay such
                  national currency amount in accordance with, and subject to,
                  the Regulation(s) made pursuant to Article 109L(4); and

            (c)   after consultation with the relevant Borrower, the
                  Administrative Agent shall be entitled to make such amendments
                  to this Agreement as it may reasonably determine to be
                  necessary to take account of monetary union and any consequent
                  changes in market practices (whether as to the settlement or
                  rounding of obligations, the calculation of interest or
                  otherwise howsoever).

                                  ARTICLE VI.

                               CONDITIONS TO LOANS

            The obligation of each Lender to make the Loans to the Borrowers,
and the obligation of each Issuing Bank to issue any L/C on behalf of the

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

      Each Borrower (as to itself and all other Consolidated Companies)
represents and warrants that the following statements are, and after giving
effect to the Acquisition will be, true and correct:

      Section 7.01. Organizational Existence; Compliance with Law. Each of the
Consolidated Companies (i) is duly organized, validly existing, and in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (ii) has the
corporate or other organizational power and authority and the legal right to own
and operate its property and to conduct its business, (iii) is duly qualified as
a foreign corporation or other organization and in good standing under the laws
of each jurisdiction where its ownership of property or the conduct of its
business requires such qualification, except where a failure to be so qualified
could not reasonably be expected to have a Materially Adverse Effect, and (iv)
is in compliance with all Requirements of Law except where the failure to be in
compliance could not reasonably be expected to have a Materially Adverse Effect
and has not received any notice of any violation of any Requirement of Laws that
could reasonably be expected to have a Materially Adverse Effect.

      Section 7.02. Organizational Power; Authorization. Each Credit Party has
the corporate or other organizational power and authority to make, deliver and
perform the Credit Documents to which it is a party and has taken all necessary
corporate or other organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery
and performance of the Credit Documents to which it is a party. No consent,
Governmental Approval, authorization of, or registration or filing with, any
Person under any material Contractual Obligation, with any Person under the
articles of incorporation or bylaws of any Credit Party, or with any
Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery or
performance by any Credit Party, or the validity or enforceability against any
Credit Party of the Credit Documents to which it is a party or any of the
transactions contemplated thereby, other than such consents, Governmental
Approvals, authorizations, registrations or filings which have been made or
obtained and are in full force and effect.

      Section 7.03. Enforceable Obligations. This Agreement has been duly
executed and delivered, and each other Credit Document will be duly executed and
delivered, by the Credit Parties, and this Agreement constitutes, and each other
Credit Document when executed and delivered will constitute, legal, valid and
binding obligations of the Credit Parties, enforceable against them in
accordance with their respective terms, except as may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws affecting
the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general principles of
equity.

      Section 7.04. No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance by the
Credit Parties of the Credit Documents to which it is a party will not violate
any Requirement of Law or cause a breach or default under any of their
respective Contractual Obligations, articles of incorporation or bylaws.

      Section 7.05. No Material Litigation. Except as set forth on schedule
7.05, no litigation, investigations or proceedings of or before any Governmental
Authority are pending or, to the knowledge of any Credit Party, threatened by or
against any of the Consolidated Companies, or against any of their respective
properties or revenues, existing or future (a) with respect to any Credit
Document or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, or (b) which, if
adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to have a Materially Adverse
Effect.

      Section 7.06. Investment Company Act, Etc. No Credit Party is an
"investment company" or a company "controlled" by an "investment company" (as
each of the quoted terms is defined or used in the Investment Company Act of

1985, no Credit Party is subject to regulation under the Public Utility Holding
Company Act of 1935, the Federal Power Act, or any foreign, federal or local
statute or regulation limiting its ability to incur indebtedness for money


                                      -67-
<PAGE>

borrowed, guarantee such indebtedness, or pledge its assets to secure such
indebtedness, as contemplated hereby or by any other Credit Document.

      Section 7.07. Margin Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any of the
Loans will be used for any purpose which violates, or which would be
inconsistent or not in compliance with, the provisions of the applicable Margin
Regulations.

      Section 7.08. Compliance With Environmental Laws. Except as set forth on
Schedule 7.08 or as would not reasonably be expected to result in penalties,
fines, claims or other liabilities (including, without limitation, remediation
costs and expenses) to the Consolidated Companies in amounts in excess of
$100,000 either individually or in the aggregate:

            (a) The Consolidated Companies have received no notices of claims or
potential liability under, and are in compliance with, all applicable
Environmental Laws.

            (b) None of the Consolidated Companies has received during the
period from January 1, 1990 through the date of this Agreement, any notice of
violation, or notice of any action, either judicial or administrative, from any
Governmental Authority (whether United States or foreign) relating to the actual
or alleged violation of any Environmental Law, including, without limitation,
any notice of any actual or alleged spill, leak, or other release of any
Hazardous Substance, waste or hazardous waste by any Consolidated Company or its
employees or agents, or as to the existence of any contamination on any
properties owned by any Consolidated Company.

            (c) The Consolidated Companies have obtained, and are in compliance

businesses, with financially sound and reputable insurers, having coverages

companies in the same or similar businesses, such insurance being in amounts no
less than those amounts which are customary for such companies under similar
circumstances. The Consolidated Companies have paid all of insurance premiums
now due and owing with respect to such insurance policies and coverages, and
such policies and coverages are in full force and effect.

      Section 7.10. No Default. None of the Consolidated Companies is in default
under or with respect to any Contractual Obligation in any respect which has had
or could reasonably be expected to have a Materially Adverse Effect.

      Section 7.11. No Burdensome Restrictions. None of the Consolidated
Companies is a party to or bound by any Contractual Obligation or Requirement of
Law which has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Materially Adverse
Effect.

      Section 7.12. Taxes. Each of the Consolidated Companies have filed or
caused to be filed all material declarations, reports and tax returns which are
required to have been filed, and has paid all taxes, custom duties, levies,
charges and similar contributions ("taxes" in this Section 7.12) shown to be due
and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or its
properties, and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of
its properties by any Governmental Authority (other than those (i) the amount or
validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been
provided in its books and (ii) for which an extension has been filed); and no
tax


                                      -68-
<PAGE>

liens have been filed and, to the knowledge of any Consolidated Company, no
claims are being asserted with respect to any such taxes, fees or other charges.

      Section 7.13. Subsidiaries. Except as set forth on Schedule 7.13, the
Borrowers have no Subsidiaries, and no Consolidated Company is a joint venture
partner or general partner in any partnership. Each Subsidiary listed in Part A
of Schedule 7.13 is an Active Subsidiary and each Subsidiary listed in Part B of
Schedule 7.13 is a Dormant Subsidiary.

      Section 7.14. Financial Statements. The Domestic Borrower and the Sterling
Borrower have furnished to the Administrative Agent (i) the audited consolidated
balance sheet of the Domestic Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries as at
September 30, 1999 and of Sterling Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries as
at June 30, 1999, as well as the related consolidated statements of income,
shareholders' equity and cash flows for the Fiscal Year then ended, including in
each case the related schedules and notes, (ii) the unaudited consolidated
balance sheet of the Domestic Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries for the
Fiscal Quarters ending December 31, 1999 and March 31, 2000 and of the Sterling
Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries for the six month period ending
December 31, 1999 and the Fiscal Quarter ending March 31, 2000, and the related
unaudited consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash
flows for each of the periods then ended, (iii) the Pro Forma Balance Sheet
which was based on the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Domestic
Borrower dated as of March 31, 2000, and (iv) the Projections. The foregoing
financial statements fairly present in all material respects the financial
condition of the Domestic Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries and of the
Sterling Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries as at the dates thereof and
results of operations for such periods in conformity with GAAP consistently
applied. The Consolidated Companies taken as a whole do not have any material
contingent obligations, contingent liabilities, or material liabilities for
known taxes, long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments not
reflected in the foregoing financial statements or the notes thereto. Since
September 30, 1999 there have been no changes with respect to the Domestic
Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries or with respect to the Sterling
Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries which have had or could reasonably be
expected to have, singly or in the aggregate, a Materially Adverse Effect.

Consolidated Companies maintains or contributes to any Foreign Plan;

            (b) Compliance. Each Plan maintained by a Consolidated Company is by
its terms and in operation, in substantial compliance with all applicable laws,
and no Consolidated Company has been assessed, and to the knowledge of
Borrowers, is subject to, any tax or penalty with respect to any Plan of such
Consolidated Company or any ERISA Affiliate thereof, including without
limitation, any tax or penalty under Title I or Title IV of ERISA or under
Chapter 43 of the Tax Code, or any tax or penalty resulting from a loss of
deduction under Sections 162, 404, or 419 of the Tax Code;

            (c) Liabilities. The Consolidated Companies have not been assessed
and to the knowledge of the Borrowers are not subject to, any material monetary
liabilities (including withdrawal liabilities) with respect to any Plans or
Foreign Plans of such Consolidated Companies or any of their ERISA Affiliates,

ERISA, other than obligations to fund benefits under an ongoing Plan and to pay

of ERISA has an "amount of unfunded benefit liabilities" (as defined in Section
4001 (a)(18) of ERISA), determined as if such Plan terminated on any date on
which this representation and warranty is deemed made. The Consolidated
Companies are subject to no liabilities with respect to post-retirement medical
benefits;

            (e) Prohibited Transactions. No Consolidated Company has engaged in,
or has any knowledge of, any non-exempt prohibited transaction (within the
meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Tax Code) with respect to
any Plan.

            (f) Qualification of Plans. A favorable determination as to the
qualification under Section 401(a) of the Tax Code has been made by the Internal
Revenue Service with respect to each Plan intended to be qualified under Section
401(a) of the Tax Code and, to the best knowledge of each of the Consolidated
Companies, nothing has occurred since the date of such determination that could
adversely affect such qualification.

            (g) Withdrawal. None of the Consolidated Companies nor any of their
respective ERISA Affiliates has:

                  (i) ceased operations at a facility so as to become subject to

Companies.

            (h) Proceedings. There are no actions, suits or claims pending
(other than routine claims for benefits) or, to the knowledge of any
Consolidated Companies, which could reasonably be expected to be asserted,
against any Plan maintained for employees or the assets of any such Plan. No
civil or criminal action brought pursuant to the provisions of Title I, Subtitle
B, Part 5 of ERISA, is pending or, to the best knowledge of any of the
Consolidated Companies, threatened against any fiduciary or any Plan.

      Section 7.16. Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights, Licenses, Etc. (x) The
Consolidated Companies have obtained and hold in full force and effect or have
the right to use all material patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names,

and marketable fee simple title to or a valid leasehold interest in all of its
real property and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all of its
other property, as such properties are reflected in the consolidated balance

effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Credit

claim, and "claim" means (a) the right to payment, whether or not such right is
reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured,
unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured or unsecured, or (b)

or, to any Credit Party's knowledge, threatened against or affecting any
Consolidated Company, and no significant unfair labor practice, charges or
grievances are pending against any Consolidated Company, to any Credit Party's
knowledge, threatened against any of them before any Governmental Authority. All

agreement or understanding restricting or limiting the payment of any dividends
or other distributions by any such Consolidated Companies.

                  (vi) To the best of the Domestic Borrower's knowledge and the
Sterling Borrower's knowledge, the Account Debtors thereunder had the capacity
to contract at the time any contract or other document giving rise to the
Accounts were executed and such Account Debtors are solvent; and

                  (vii) No Borrower has knowledge of any fact or circumstance
which would impair the validity or collectibility of the Accounts, and to the

writing, with respect to all Eligible Inventory reflected in a Borrowing Base
Certificate, the Administrative Agent may rely upon all statements, warranties,

any shares of its Stock, and there are no agreements restricting the transfer of
any shares of the Company's Stock

      Section 7.25. Disclosure. No representation or warranty contained in the

Administrative Agent or the Lenders by the Borrowers, their advisors, counsel or
representatives pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, contains or will
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omits or will omit to state

in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders shall be
automatically released and the Administrative Agent shall, upon the reasonable
request and at the expense of the Borrowers, and without the necessity of any
consent of the Lenders, execute and deliver such releases, lien terminations and
other documents as the Borrowers shall reasonably request to evidence the
release of such Liens.

      Section 12.03. No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the
part of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any holder of a Note in
exercising any right or remedy hereunder or any other Credit Document, and no
course of dealing between any Borrower and the Administrative Agent, any Lender
or the holder of any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or any other Credit
Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right or remedy hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies herein
expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies
which the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the holder of any Note would
otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Borrower not required hereunder or
any other Credit Document in any case shall entitle any Borrower to any other or
further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a
waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the holder of
any Note to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or
demand.

      Section 12.04. Payment of Expenses, Etc. The Borrowers agree to:

                  (i) whether or not the transactions hereby contemplated are
consummated, pay all reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the
Administrative Agent and the Arranger in the administration (both before and
after the execution hereof and including advice of counsel as to the rights and
duties of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect thereto) of, and
in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of, preservation of
rights under, enforcement of, and refinancing, renegotiation or restructuring
of, this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the documents and
instruments referred to therein, and any amendment, waiver or consent relating
thereto (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of
counsel for the Administrative Agent), and in the case of enforcement of this
Agreement or any Credit Document, all such reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and
expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements
of counsel) for any of the Lenders;

                  (ii) pay and hold each of the Administrative Agent, the
Lenders, the Swingline Lenders and the Issuing Banks harmless from and against
any and all present and future stamp, documentary, and other similar Taxes with
respect to this Agreement, the Notes, the L/Cs, the other Credit Documents, the
Collateral and any payments due thereunder, and save the Administrative Agent,
each Lender, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank harmless from and against
any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission
to pay such Taxes;

                  (iii) indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, the
Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lenders, the Lenders and their respective officers,
directors, employees, representatives and agents (whether or not any of them is
designated a party thereto) (an "Indemnitee") from, and hold each of them
harmless against, any and all costs, losses, liabilities, claims, damages or
expenses incurred by any of them arising out of or by reason of any
investigation, litigation or other proceeding related to any actual or proposed
use of the proceeds of any of the Loans or L/Cs or Borrowers' entering into and
performing of the Agreement, the Notes or the other Credit Documents, including,
without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (including
foreign counsel) incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation
or other proceeding; provided, however, the Borrowers shall not be obligated to
indemnify any Indemnitee for any of the foregoing arising solely out of such
Indemnitee's gross negligence or willful misconduct or solely from the breach by
such Indemnitee of its obligations hereunder.

                  (iv) without limiting the indemnities set forth in subsection
(iii) above, indemnify each Indemnitee for any and all expenses and costs
(including without limitation, remedial, removal, response, abatement, cleanup,
investigative, closure and monitoring costs), losses, claims (including claims
for contribution or indemnity and including the cost of investigating or
defending any claim and whether or not such claim is ultimately defeated, and
whether such claim arose before, during or after Borrowers' ownership,
operation, possession or control of its business, property or facilities or
before, on or after the date hereof, and including also any amounts paid
incidental to any compromise or settlement by the Indemnitee or Indemnitees to
the holders of any such claim), lawsuits, liabilities, obligations, actions,
judgments, suits, disbursements, encumbrances, liens, damages (including without
limitation damages for contamination or destruction of natural resources),
penalties and fines of any kind or nature whatsoever (including without
limitation in all cases the reasonable fees, other


                                      -92-
<PAGE>

charges and disbursements of counsel in connection therewith) incurred, suffered
or sustained by that Indemnitee based upon, arising under or relating to
Environmental Laws based on, arising out of or relating to in whole or in part,
the existence or exercise of any rights or remedies by any Indemnitee under this
Agreement, any other Credit Document or any related documents.

If and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrowers under this Section
12.04 are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrowers hereby agrees to make the
maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which
is permissible under applicable law.

      Section 12.05. Right of Setoff. In addition to and not in limitation of
all rights of offset that any Lender or other holder of a Note may have under
applicable law, each Lender or other holder of a Note shall, upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of any Event of Default and whether or not such
Lender or such holder has made any demand to any Credit Party or any Borrower's
obligations are matured, have the right to appropriate and apply to the payment
of Borrowers' obligations hereunder and the other Credit Documents, all deposits
of all Borrowers (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) then
or thereafter held by and other indebtedness or property then or thereafter
owing by such Lender or other holder to the Borrowers, whether or not related to
this Agreement or any transaction hereunder, and whether or not the obligations
of the Borrowers under the Credit Documents are payable in the same currency as
any such deposits, indebtedness or property.

      Section 12.06. Benefit of Agreement.

            (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties
hereto, provided that no Borrower may assign or transfer any of its interest
hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lenders.

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

            (c) Each Lender may assign all or a portion of its interests, rights
and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of any of its
Commitments, the Loans owing to it, its participations in the L/C Obligations
and the Swingline Loans, and the Notes held by it) to any Eligible Assignee;
provided, however, that (i) the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower Representative must give
their prior written consent to such assignment, which consents shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the
Revolving Credit Commitment or any Term A Loan assigned (determined as of the
date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered
to the Administrative Agent) shall be in a minimum amount of the Sterling
Equivalent of $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of the Sterling Equivalent of
$1,000,000, or any Term B Loan assigned (determined as of the date of the
Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the
Administrative Agent) shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and in integral
multiples of $1,000,000, (iii) such assigning Lender shall assign a
proportionate share of all of its rights and obligations with respect thereto,
and (iv) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with Note or Notes
subject to such assignment and a processing and recordation fee of $1,000 and
reasonable attorney fees paid by the assigning Lender or the assignee Lender;
provided, further, that the minimum amounts required in clause (ii) above shall
not apply to any assignments made (x) at any time an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, (y) by a Lender assigning the entire amount of its
Revolving Credit Commitment (including its Domestic Revolving Loans, Sterling
Revolving Loans, Revolving Credit Notes and its participations in any L/C
Obligations and Swingline Loans) or its Term A Loans, or its Term B Loans, or
(z) by a Lender assigning any portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment
(including its Revolving Loans, Revolving Credit Notes and its participations in
any L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans) or its Term A Loans or its Term B Loans
to one of its Affiliates or to a Person that is already a Lender under this
Agreement prior to giving effect to such assignment. From and after the
effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date
shall be at least five (5) Business Days after the execution thereof, the
assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest
assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a
Lender under this Agreement. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of the
notice and the Assignment and


                                      -93-
<PAGE>

Acceptance, each Borrower, as applicable, at its own expense, shall execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent, in exchange for the surrendered Note or
Notes, a new Note or Notes to the order of such assignee in a principal amount
equal to the applicable Revolving Credit Commitment, Term A Loan or Term B Loan,
as the case may be, assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and
new Note or Notes to the assigning Lender in the amount of its retained
Revolving Credit Commitment and Loans. Such new Note or Notes shall be in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such
surrendered Note or Notes, shall be dated the date of the surrendered Note or
Notes which they replace, and shall otherwise be in substantially the form
attached hereto.

            (d) Each Lender may, without the consent of, the Borrower
Representative and the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more
banks, financial institutions, insurance companies or other entities in all or a
portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a
portion of any of its Commitments, its Loans and its participation in L/C
Obligations and Swingline Loan and the Notes held by it); provided, however,
that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged,
(ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for
the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participating bank, financial
institution, insurance company or other entity shall not be entitled to the
benefit (except through its selling Lender) of the cost protection provisions
contained in Section 5.09, 5.12 through 5.17 or Section 5.19 of this Agreement,
and (iv) the Borrowers, the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent,
the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and other Lenders shall continue to deal
solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and such Lender
shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrowers relating
to its Commitments, its Loans and its participation in L/C Obligations and
Swingline Loans. Any Lender or participant may, in connection with the
assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation, pursuant to
this Section, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or
participant any information relating to any Borrower or the other Consolidated
Companies furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of such Borrower or any other
Consolidated Company.

            (e) Any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its
rights in this Agreement and the Notes issued to it to a Federal Reserve Bank;
provided that no such assignment shall release any Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder.

      Section 12.07. Exchange of Notes; Lost Notes. At the option of the holder
of any Note, such Note may be exchanged for other Notes of the same type, of
like tenor and of any denominations, and of a like aggregate principal amount,
upon surrender of such Note to be exchanged at the address for notices of the
Borrower Representative. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the
Borrowers shall, at their own expense, execute and deliver the Notes which the
holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Note surrendered for
exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer duly executed, by the holder of such Note or such holder's attorney
duly authorized in writing. Any Note or Notes issued in exchange for any Note or
upon transfer thereof shall carry the rights to unpaid interest and interest to
accrue which were carried by the Note so exchange or transferred, so that
neither gain nor loss of interest shall result from any such transfer or
exchange. Upon receipt of written notice from the holder of any Note of the
loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of such Note and, in the case of any such
loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of such holder's unsecured indemnity
agreement, or in the case of any such mutilation upon surrender and cancellation
of such Note, the Borrowers will make and deliver a new Note, of the same type
and of like tenor, in lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.

      Section 12.08. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.

            (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES
HEREUNDER AND UNDER THE NOTES SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE
GOVERNED BY THE LAW (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES
THEREOF) OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA.


                                      -94-
<PAGE>

            (b) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT,
THE NOTES, OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY COURT OF THE STATE
OF GEORGIA OR IN ANY COURT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE NORTHERN
DISTRICT OF GEORGIA, AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH
BORROWER HEREBY ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY, THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS. THE PARTIES HERETO
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY, AND EACH BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING
OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR
HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH
RESPECTIVE JURISDICTIONS.

            (c) EACH BORROWER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OF
ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING
OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO EACH
BORROWER AT ITS SAID ADDRESS, SUCH SERVICE TO BECOME EFFECTIVE 30 DAYS AFTER
SUCH MAILING.

            (d) Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lenders, any Lender, any holder of a
Note or any Borrower to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to
commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any Borrower in any
other jurisdiction.

Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates, appoints and empowers CT
Corporation System, whose present address is 1201 Peachtree Street, N.E.,
Atlanta, Georgia 30361, as its authorized agent to receive, for and on its
behalf and its property, service of process in the State of Georgia when and as
such legal actions or proceedings may be brought in the courts of the State of
Georgia or of the United States of America sitting in Georgia, and such service
of process shall be deemed complete upon the date of delivery thereof to such
agent whether or not such agent gives notice thereof to such Borrower, or upon
the earliest of any other date permitted by applicable law. Each Borrower shall
furnish the consent of CT Corporation System so to act to the Administrative
Agent on or prior to the Original Closing Date. It is understood that a copy of
said process served on such Administrative Agent will as soon as practicable be
forwarded to said Borrower, at its address set forth below, but its failure to
receive such copy shall not affect in any way the service of said process on
said agent as the agent of said Borrower. Each Borrower irrevocably consents to
the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such
action or proceeding by the mailing of the copies thereof by certified mail,
return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to it at its address set forth
herein, such service to become effective upon the earlier of (i) the date 10
calendar days after such mailing or (ii) any earlier date permitted by
applicable law. Each Borrower agrees that it will at all times continuously
maintain an agent to receive service of process in the State of Georgia on
behalf of itself and its properties and in the event that, for any reason, the
agent named above or its successor shall no longer serve as its agent to receive
service of process in the State of Georgia on its behalf, it shall promptly
appoint a successor so to serve and shall advise the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders thereof (and shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the consent
of any successor agent so to act). Nothing in this Section 12.08 shall affect
the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to bring proceedings against
any Borrower in the courts of any other jurisdiction or to serve process in any
other manner permitted by applicable law.

      Section 12.09. Independent Nature of Lenders' Rights. 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 pursuant to
this Agreement and its Notes, and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender
to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

      Section 12.10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts,
each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of
which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

      Section 12.11. Survival. The obligations of the Borrowers under Sections
5.12 through 5.16, 5.18, 5.19, 5.09(b) and 12.04 hereof shall survive the
payment in full of the Notes and the Term A Loan Maturity Date


                                      -95-
<PAGE>

and Term B Loan Maturity Date. All representations and warranties made herein
and in the other Credit Documents, in the certificates, reports, notices, and
other documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the execution
and delivery of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, the making of the
Loans and the issuance of the L/Cs and shall continue until the Notes are paid
in full and the Commitments are terminated.

      Section 12.12. Severability. In case any provision in or obligation under
this Agreement or the other Credit Documents shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, in whole or in part, 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.

      Section 12.13. Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder and
under the other Credit Documents 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 be otherwise within the
limitation of, another covenant, shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or
an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

      Section 12.14. Change in Accounting Principles, Fiscal Year or Tax Laws.
If (i) any preparation of the financial statements referred to in Section 8.07
hereafter occasioned by the promulgation of rules, regulations, pronouncements
and opinions by or required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (or successors thereto or
agencies with similar functions) result in a material change in the method of
calculation of financial covenants, standards or terms found in this Agreement,
(ii) there is any change in the Domestic Borrower's Fiscal Month, Fiscal Quarter
or Fiscal Year, or (iii) there is a material change in United States or the
United Kingdom tax laws which materially affects any of the Consolidated
Companies' ability to comply with the financial covenants, standards or terms
found in this Agreement, the parties agree to enter into negotiations in order
to amend such provisions so as to equitably reflect such changes with the
desired result that the criteria for evaluating any of the Consolidated
Companies' financial condition shall be the same after such changes as if such
changes had not been made. Unless and until such provisions have been so
amended, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.

      Section 12.15. Headings Descriptive; Entire Agreement. The headings of the
several sections and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience
only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any
provision of this Agreement. This Agreement, the other Credit Documents, and the
agreements and documents required to be delivered pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto and thereto
regarding the subject matters hereof and thereof and supersede all prior
agreements, representations and understandings related to such subject matters

      Section 12.16. Maximum Interest Rate. Nothing contained in this Agreement
or any Note shall require the Borrowers to pay interest at a rate exceeding the
Maximum Permissible Rate. If interest payable to any Lender for any period would
exceed the Maximum Permissible Rate, such interest shall be reduced
automatically to the maximum amount that would not exceed the Maximum
Permissible Rate, and interest payable to any Lender for any subsequent period,
to the extent less than the Maximum Permissible Rate, shall, to that extent, be
increased by the aggregate amount of all such reductions.

      Section 12.17. Judgment Currency.

            (a) The Credit Parties' obligations hereunder and the other Credit
Documents to make payments in a particular currency as the case may be (the
"Obligation Currency") shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or
recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency
other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or
recovery actually results in the effective receipt by the Administrative Agent
or a Lender of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be
payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or the
other Credit Documents. If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment
against any Borrower or other Credit Party in any court or in any jurisdiction,
it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the
Obligation Currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the
"Judgment Currency") an amount due in the Obligation Currency, the


                                      -96-
<PAGE>

conversion shall be made, and the currency equivalent determined, in each case,
as on the day immediately preceding the day on which the judgment is given (such
Business Day being hereafter referred to as the "Judgment Currency Conversion
Date").

            (b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between
the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the
amount due, the Credit Parties covenant and agree to pay, or cause to be paid,
such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount), as may
be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when
converted at the rate of exchange quoted by the Administrative Agent at its
prevailing rate for such currency exchange on the date of payment, will produce
the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the
amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the
rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date.

            (c) For purposes of determining the currency equivalent for this
Section, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection
with the purchase of the Obligation Currency.

      Section 12.18. Dollar Equivalent Computations. Unless otherwise provided
herein, to the extent that the determination of compliance with any requirement
of this Agreement requires the conversion to US Dollars of foreign currency
amounts, such US Dollar amount shall be computed using the Dollar Equivalent of
the amount of such foreign currency at the time such item is to be calculated or
is to be or was incurred, created or suffered or permitted to exist, or assumed
or transferred or sold for purposes of this Agreement (except if such item was
incurred, created or assumed, or suffered or permitted to exist or transferred
or sold prior to the Original Closing Date, such conversion shall be made based
on the Dollar Equivalent of the amounts of such foreign currency at the date
hereof).

      Section 12.19. Sterling Equivalent Computations. Unless otherwise provided
herein, to the extent that the determination of compliance with any requirement
of this Agreement requires the conversion to Sterling of US Dollar amounts, such
Sterling amount shall be computed using the Sterling Equivalent of the amount of
US Dollars at the time such item is to be calculated or is to be or was
incurred, created or suffered or permitted to exist, or assumed or transferred
or sold for purposes of this Agreement (except if such item was incurred,
created or assumed, or suffered or permitted to exist or transferred or sold
prior to the Original Closing Date, such conversion shall be made based on the
Sterling Equivalent of the amounts of such US Dollars at the date hereof).

      Section 12.20. Market Disruption. Notwithstanding the satisfaction of all
conditions referred to in this Article 12 with respect to any Loans in Sterling,
if there shall occur on or prior to the date of any such Loan any change in
national or international financial, political or economic conditions or
currency exchange rates or exchange controls which would in the reasonable
opinion of the Administrative Agent or any Lender make it impracticable for the
Loans to be denominated in Sterling, then the Administrative Agent shall
forthwith give notice thereof to Borrowers and the Lenders, and such Sterling
Loans shall not be denominated in Sterling but shall be made in Dollars, in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate
principal amount specified in the related Borrowing Notice, as Revolving Loans,
unless the applicable Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent at least one
(1) Business Day before such date that it elects not to borrow on such date and
in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate
principal amount specified in the related Borrowing Notice.
