Lender, the Defaulting Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced
hereunder, and agrees to execute and deliver a completed form of Assignment and
Acceptance Agreement in favor of the substitute Lender (and agrees that it shall
be deemed to have executed and delivered such document if it fails to do so)
subject only to being repaid its share of the outstanding Obligations (other
than Bank Product Obligations) (including an assumption of its Pro Rata Share of
the Risk Participation Liability) without any premium or penalty of any kind
whatsoever; provided further, however, that any such assumption of the
Commitment of such Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver
of any of the Lender Groups' or Borrowers' rights or remedies against any such
Defaulting Lender arising out of or in relation to such failure to fund."

                  "(i) Agent hereby is authorized by Borrowers and the Lenders,
from time to time in Agent's sole discretion, (1) after the occurrence and
during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, or (2) at any time
that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3
have not been satisfied, to make Advances to Borrowers on behalf of the Lenders

preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (B) to enhance the
likelihood of repayment of the Obligations (other than the Bank Product
Obligations), or (C) to pay any other amount chargeable to Borrowers pursuant to

<PAGE>
Advances described in this Section 2.3(c) shall be referred to as "Agent
Advances"); provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Section 2.3(c), the aggregate principal amount of Agent Advances
outstanding at any one time, when taken together with the aggregate principal
amount of Overadvances made in accordance with Section 2.3(g) outstanding at any
time, shall not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (x) 10% of the Borrowing
Base then in effect and (y) $2,000,000. Each Agent Advance is an Advance
hereunder and shall be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to
other Advances, except that all payments thereon shall be payable to Agent
solely for its own account (and for the account of the holder of any
participation interest with respect to such Agent Advance)."

                  "(i) Except as otherwise provided with respect to Defaulting
Lenders and except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents (including letter
agreements between Agent and individual Lenders), aggregate principal and
interest payments shall be apportioned ratably among the Lenders (according to
the unpaid principal balance of the Obligations to which such payments relate
held by each Lender) and payments of fees and expenses (other than fees or
expenses that are for Agent's separate account, after giving effect to any
letter agreements between Agent and individual Lenders) shall be apportioned
ratably among the Lenders having a Pro Rata Share of the type of Commitment or
Obligation to which a particular payment relates. All payments shall be remitted
to Agent and all such payments not relating to principal or interest of specific
Obligations (other than payments constituting the payment of specific fees), and
all proceeds of Accounts or other Collateral received by Agent, shall be applied
as follows:

separate account, after giving effect to any letter agreements between Agent and
the individual Lenders) under the Loan Documents until paid in full,

                           D. fourth, to pay any fees then due to any or all of

occurred and is continuing or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and Agent agrees in its sole discretion, to pay interest due in
respect of the Term Loans until paid in full (if an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the priority of the payment of interest on the Term
Loan Amount, including the Term Loan B PIK Amount, is deferred to item
"fourteenth" below),

                           H. eighth, to pay the principal of all Agent Advances

contemplation of, the subject Event of Default until Borrower's and its
Subsidiaries' obligations in respect of the then extant Bank Products have been
paid in full or the cash collateral amount has been exhausted,

                           M. thirteenth, if an Event of Default has occurred

Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations) are greater than 130% of
Borrowers' Collections for the immediately preceding 90-day period (in each
case, an "Overadvance"), in each case, Borrowers immediately shall pay to Agent,

reduce the Obligations in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section
2.4(b). In addition, Borrowers hereby promise to pay the Obligations (including

         (l) Section 3.5 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in

Documents have been terminated irrevocably, Agent will, at Borrowers' sole
expense, execute and deliver any UCC termination statements, lien releases,
mortgage releases, re-assignments of trademarks, discharges of security
interests, and other similar discharge or release documents (and, if applicable,
in recordable form) as are reasonably necessary to release, as of record, the
Agent's Liens and all notices of security interests and liens previously filed
by Agent with respect to the Obligations."

         (m) Section 3.6 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in
its entirety as follows:

                  "3.6 EARLY TERMINATION BY BORROWERS. Borrowers have the
option, at any time upon 60 days prior written notice by Administrative Borrower
to Agent, to terminate this Agreement by paying to Agent, for the benefit of the
Lender Group, in cash, the Obligations (including (a) either (i) providing cash
collateral to be held by Agent for the benefit of those Lenders with a Revolver
Commitment in an amount equal to 105% of the then extant Letter of Credit Usage,
or (ii) causing the original Letters of Credit to be returned to the Issuing
Lender, and (b) providing cash collateral to be held by Agent for the benefit of
Wells Fargo or its Affiliates with respect to the then extant Bank Products
Obligations), in full, together with the Applicable Prepayment Premium (to be
allocated based upon letter agreements between Agent and individual Lenders). If
Administrative Borrower has sent a notice of termination pursuant to the
provisions of this Section, then the Commitments shall terminate and Borrowers
shall be obligated to repay the Obligations (including (x) either (i) providing
cash collateral to be held by Agent for the benefit of those Lenders with a
Revolver Commitment in an amount equal to 105% of the then extant Letter of
Credit Usage, or (ii) causing the original Letters of Credit to be returned to
the Issuing Lender, and (y) providing cash collateral to be held by Agent for
the benefit of Wells Fargo or its Affiliates with respect to the then extant
Bank Products Obligations), in full, together with the Applicable Prepayment
Premium, on the date set forth as the date of termination of this Agreement in
such notice. In the event of the termination of this Agreement and repayment of
the Obligations at any time prior to the Maturity Date, for any other reason,
including (I) termination upon the election of the Required Lenders to terminate
after the occurrence of an Event of Default, (II) foreclosure and sale of
Collateral, (III) sale of the Collateral in any Insolvency Proceeding, or (IV)
restructure, reorganization or compromise of the Obligations by the confirmation
of a plan of reorganization, or any other plan of compromise, restructure, or
arrangement in any Insolvency Proceeding, then, in view of the impracticability
and extreme difficulty of ascertaining the actual amount of damages to the
Lender Group or profits lost by the Lender Group as a result of such early
termination, and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable
estimation and calculation of the lost profits or damages of the Lender Group,
Borrowers shall pay the Applicable Prepayment Premium to Agent (to be allocated
based upon letter agreements between Agent and individual Lenders), measured as
of the date of such termination."

         (n) Section 7.1(g) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated
in its entirety as follows:
