          (a)  The Parent Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally with Capital,
unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees to the Administrative Agent, for the

without impairing the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or affecting the

          (c)  The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full

Agreement the Borrower may be free from any Borrower Obligations.

               No payment made by the Borrower, the Parent Guarantor, any other
guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender from the Borrower, the Parent Guarantor, any other guarantor
or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or
appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or
in payment of the Borrower Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce,
release or otherwise affect the liability of the Parent Guarantor hereunder
which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by
the Parent Guarantor in respect of the Borrower Obligations or any payment
received or collected from the Parent Guarantor in respect of the Borrower
Obligations), remain liable for the Borrower Obligations up to the maximum

          2.2. No Subrogation.
               --------------

          Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the Parent Guarantor
hereunder, or any set-off or application of funds of the Parent Guarantor by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, the Parent Guarantor shall not be entitled
to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender
against the Borrower or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset
held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender  for the payment of the Borrower
Obligations, nor shall the Parent Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any
contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower in respect of payments made by
the Parent Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders by the Borrower on account of the Borrower Obligations are
paid in full and the Commitments and the Bridge Loan Agreement are terminated.
If any amount shall be paid to the Parent Guarantor on account of such
subrogation rights at any time when all of the Borrower Obligations shall not
have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by the Parent Guarantor in
trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders segregated from other funds
of the Parent Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by the Parent
Guarantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received
by the Parent Guarantor (duly indorsed by the Parent Guarantor to the
Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against the Borrower
Obligations, whether matured or unmatured as provided in Section 6.3.

          2.3. Amendments, etc. with respect to the Borrower Obligations.
               ---------------------------------------------------------

          The Parent Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder and the
liability of the Parent Guarantor hereunder shall be and remain in full force
and effect notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against the
Parent Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by the Parent
Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Borrower Obligations

                                       5
<PAGE>

made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be rescinded by the
Administrative Agent or such Lender and any of the Borrower Obligations
continued or any payment made by the Borrower or any other Person and applied to
the Borrower Obligations is at any time annulled, set aside, invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to be refunded
or repaid, and the Borrower Obligations, or the liability of any other Person
upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor
or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in
part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived,
surrendered or released by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and the
Bridge Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents
executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified,
supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent (or
the Majority Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be) may deem advisable from
time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any
time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the
Borrower Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released.
Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to
protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security
for the Borrower Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or
any property subject thereto.

          2.4. Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional.
               ------------------------------------

          The Parent Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation,
renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Borrower Obligations and notice of
or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the
guarantee contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the guarantee contained
in this Section 2; the Borrower Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively
be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended,
amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2;
and all dealings between the Borrower and the Parent Guarantor, on the one hand,
and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, likewise shall
be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the
guarantee contained in this Section 2.  The Parent Guarantor waives diligence,
presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to
or upon the Borrower or the Parent Guarantor with respect to the Borrower
Obligations.  The Parent Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee
contained in this Section 2 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and
unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity or
enforceability of the Bridge Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of
the Borrower Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee
or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by
the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim
(other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be
available to or be asserted by the Borrower or any other Person against the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever
(with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrower or the Parent Guarantor)
which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal
discharge of the Borrower for the Borrower Obligations, or of the Parent
Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2, in bankruptcy or in
any other instance.  When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its
rights and remedies hereunder against the Parent Guarantor, the Administrative
Agent or any Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar
demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against
the Borrower, or

                                       6
<PAGE>

any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the
Borrower Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any
failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make any such demand, to
pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the
Borrower, or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or
guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the
Borrower, or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or
right of offset, shall not relieve the Parent Guarantor of any obligation or
liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies,
whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative
Agent or any Lender against the Parent Guarantor. For the purposes hereof
"demand" shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal
proceedings.

          2.5. Reinstatement.
               -------------

          The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall continue to be
effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any
part thereof, of any of the Borrower Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise
be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the
Borrower or the Parent Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a
receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the
Borrower or the Parent Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or
otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

          2.6. Payments.
               --------

          The Parent Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be
paid to the Lenders without set-off or counterclaim in Dollars at their offices,
the locations of which are specified in the Bridge Loan Agreement.

          2.7. Subordination.
               -------------

          Any and all rights and claims of the Parent Guarantor against the
Borrower or any of its property, arising by reason of any payment by the Parent
Guarantor to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior
payment and satisfaction of all Guarantor Obligations and all other amounts
payable under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Any Indebtedness of

the Lenders, shall exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies
granted to it in this Agreement, the Bridge Loan Agreement and in any other
instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all
rights and remedies of a secured party under the New York UCC or any other
applicable law.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Administrative Agent, without demand of performance or other demand,
presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice
required by applicable law referred to below) to or upon the Parent Guarantor,
the Borrower, any issuer of Pledged Stock or LLC Interests or any other Person
(all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby
waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and
realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell,
assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver
the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in
one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange,
broker's board or office of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or elsewhere
upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it
may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption
of any credit risk.  The Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have the right
upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon
any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the
Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in the Parent
Guarantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released.  The Parent
Guarantor further agrees, at the Administrative Agent's request, to assemble the
Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places which the
Administrative Agent shall reasonably select, whether at the Parent Guarantor's
premises or elsewhere.  The Administrative Agent shall apply any Proceeds from
time to time held by it and the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant
to this Section 6.4, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every
kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping
of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights
of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, to the payment in
whole or in part of the Obligations, in accordance with Section 6.3, and only
after such application and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of any
other amount required by any provision of applicable law, including, without
limitation, Section 9-504(l)(c) of the New York UCC, need the Administrative
Agent account for the surplus, if any, to the Parent Guarantor.  To the extent
permitted by applicable law, the Parent Guarantor waives all claims, damages and
demands it may acquire against the Administrative Agent or any Lender arising
out of the exercise by them of any rights or remedies hereunder.  If any notice
of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law,
such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days
before such sale or other disposition.

regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto. The
Parent Guarantor agrees to cause the Borrower to comply with the provisions of
the securities or "Blue Sky" laws of any and all jurisdictions which the
Administrative Agent shall designate and to make available to its security
holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement (which need not be
audited) which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities
Act.

          (b)  The Parent Guarantor recognizes that the Administrative Agent may
be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Stock, by reason of
certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more
private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged
to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account
for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The
Parent Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result
in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale
and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall
be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The
Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the
Pledged Stock for the period of time necessary to permit the Borrower to
register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under
applicable state securities laws, even if the Borrower would agree to do so.

          (c)  The Parent Guarantor agrees to use its best efforts to do or
cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or
sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Stock pursuant to this Section 6.5
valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable
Requirements of Law. The Parent Guarantor further agrees that a breach of any of
the covenants contained in this Section 6.5 will cause irreparable injury to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, that the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a
consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 6.5 shall be
specifically enforceable against the Parent Guarantor, and the Parent Guarantor
hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for
specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of
Default has occurred under the Bridge Loan Agreement.

          6.6. Waiver; Deficiency.
               ------------------

          The Parent Guarantor waives and agrees not to assert any rights or
privileges which it may acquire under Section 9-112 of the New York UCC.   The
Parent Guarantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any
sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its
Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender to collect such deficiency.

          6.7. Powers Coupled with an Interest.
               -------------------------------

          All authorizations and agencies herein contained with respect to the
Collateral constitute irrevocable powers coupled with an interest.

                      SECTION 7. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

          7.1. Administrative Agent's Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc.
               ------------------------------------------------------------

          (a)  The Parent Guarantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints
the Administrative Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of
substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in fact with full irrevocable
power and authority in the place and stead of the Parent Guarantor and in the
name of the Parent Guarantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out
the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to
execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or
desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Parent Guarantor hereby gives the
Administrative Agent the power and right, on behalf of the Parent Guarantor,
without notice to or assent by the Parent Guarantor, to do any or all of the
following:

               (i)    pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or
     threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance
     called for by the terms of this Agreement and pay all or any part of the
     premiums therefor and the costs thereof;

               (ii)   execute, in connection with any sale provided for in
     Section 6.4 or 6.5, any indorsements, assignments or other instruments of
     conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and

               (iii)  (1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of
     the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due
     thereunder directly to the Administrative Agent or as the Administrative
     Agent shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of
     and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to
     become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (3)
     commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in
     equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or
     any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any
     Collateral; (4) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against the
     Parent Guarantor with respect to any Collateral; (5) settle, compromise or
     adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith,
     give such discharges or releases as the Administrative Agent may deem
     appropriate; and (6) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any
     agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as
     fully and completely as though

                                      17
<PAGE>

     the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes,
     and do, at the Administrative Agent's option and the Parent Guarantor's
     expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the
     Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon
     the Collateral and the Administrative Agent's and the Lenders' security
     interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully
     and effectively as the Parent Guarantor might do.

          Anything in this Section 7.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Administrative Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power
of attorney provided for in this Section 7.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing.

          (b)  If the Parent Guarantor fails to perform or comply with any of
its agreements contained herein, the Administrative Agent, at its option, but
without any obligation so to do, may, and, at the request of, and as directed
by, the Majority Lenders, will perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance
or compliance, with such agreement.

          (c)  The expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection
with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 7.1, together with interest
thereon at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum at which interest would
then be payable on past due Loans under the Bridge Loan Agreement, from the date
of payment by the Administrative Agent to the date reimbursed by the Parent
Guarantor, shall be payable by the Parent Guarantor to the Administrative Agent
on demand.

          (d)  The Parent Guarantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys
shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers,
authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an
interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security
interests created hereby are released.

          7.2. Duty of Administrative Agent.
               ----------------------------

          The Administrative Agent's sole duty with respect to the custody,
safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under
Section 9-207 of the New York UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the
same manner as the Administrative Agent deals with similar property for its own
account.  The Administrative Agent or any Lender or any of their respective
officers, directors, employees or agents shall not be liable for failure to
demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing
so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any
Collateral upon the request of the Parent Guarantor or any other Person or to
take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part
thereof.  The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent or the Lenders
hereunder are solely to protect the Administrative Agent's and the Lenders'
interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the
Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise any such powers.  The
Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be accountable only for amounts that
they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither
they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be
responsible to the Parent Guarantor for any act or failure to act hereunder,
except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

                                      18
<PAGE>

          7.3. Execution of Financing Statements.
               ---------------------------------

          Pursuant to Section 9-402 of the New York UCC and any other applicable
law, the Parent Guarantor authorizes the Administrative Agent to file or record
financing statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with
respect to the Collateral without the signature of the Parent Guarantor in such
form and in such offices as the Administrative Agent reasonably determines
appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Administrative Agent under
this Agreement.  A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be
sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or
instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction.

          7.4. Authority of Administrative Agent.
               ---------------------------------

          The Parent Guarantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities
of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action
taken by the Administrative Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the
Administrative Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other
right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this
Agreement shall, as between the Administrative Agent and the Lenders be governed
by the Bridge Loan Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto
as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Administrative
Agent and the Parent Guarantor, the Administrative Agent shall be conclusively
presumed to be acting as agent for the Lenders with full and valid authority so
to act or refrain from acting, and the Parent Guarantor shall be under any
obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

                           SECTION 8. MISCELLANEOUS

          8.1. Amendments in Writing.
               ---------------------

          None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived,
amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with Section
11.3 of the Bridge Loan Agreement.

          8.2. Notices.
               -------

          All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Administrative Agent,
any Lender or the Parent Guarantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner
provided for in Section 11.2 of the Bridge Loan Agreement.

          8.3. No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies.
               ---------------------------------------------------

          None of the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall by any act
(except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 8.1), delay, indulgence,
omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or
to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default.  No failure to exercise,
nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any
Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof.  No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege
hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right, power or privilege.  A waiver by the

                                      19
<PAGE>

Administrative Agent or any Lender of any right or remedy hereunder on any one
occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the
Administrative Agent or such Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion.
The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly
or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided
by law.

          8.4. Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification.
               -------------------------------------

               (a)  The Parent Guarantor agrees to pay or reimburse each Lender
and the Administrative Agent for all its costs and expenses incurred in

2 or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements
of counsel (including the allocated fees and expenses of in-house counsel) to
each Lender or of counsel to the Administrative Agent.

               (b)  The Parent Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the
Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless from, any and all liabilities with
respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise,
sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with
respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.

               (c)  The Parent Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, harmless from, any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the
execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this
Agreement to the extent the Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to
Section 11.1 of the Bridge Loan Agreement.

               (d)  The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of
the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Bridge Loan Agreement
and the other Loan Documents.

          8.5. Successors and Assigns.
               ----------------------

          This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the
Parent Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders and their successors and assigns; provided that the Parent Guarantor
                                              --------

Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders.

          8.6. Set-Off.
               -------

          The Parent Guarantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative
Agent and each Lender at any time and from time to time while an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without notice to the Parent
Guarantor, any such notice being expressly waived by the Parent Guarantor, to
set-off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time
or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits,
indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or
indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or
owing by the Administrative Agent or

                                      20
<PAGE>

such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Parent Guarantor, or any
part thereof in such amounts as the Administrative Agent or such Lender may
elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of the Parent
Guarantor to the Administrative Agent or such Lender hereunder and claims of
every nature and description of the Administrative Agent or such Lender against
the Parent Guarantor, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under the
Bridge Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise, as the

Agent or any Lender has made any demand for payment and although such
obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. The
Administrative Agent and each Lender shall notify the Parent Guarantor promptly
of any such set-off and the application made by the Administrative Agent or such
Lender of the proceeds thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice
                                --------
shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the
Administrative Agent and each Lender under this Section are in addition to other
rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off)
which the Administrative Agent or such Lender.

          8.7.  Counterparts.
                ------------

the same instrument.

          8.8.  Severability.
                ------------

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

the same;

          (c)  agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding
may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or
any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Parent
Guarantor at its address referred to in Section 8.2 or at such other address of

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

          (e)  waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it
may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in
this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

          (a)  it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and
delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party;

          (b)  none of the Administrative Agent or any Lender has any fiduciary
relationship with or duty to the Parent Guarantor arising out of or in
connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the
relationship between the Parent Guarantor, on the one hand, and the
Administrative Agent, and the Lenders, on the other hand, in connection herewith
or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

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

          8.14. Releases.
                --------

          At such time as the Loans and the other Obligations shall have been
indefeasibly and irrevocably paid in full and the Commitments have been
terminated, the Collateral shall be released from the Liens created hereby, and
this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive
such termination) of the Administrative Agent and the Parent Guarantor hereunder

and deliver to the Parent Guarantor such documents as the Parent Guarantor shall
reasonably request to evidence such termination.

          8.15. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
