                                   Term Loans

     SECTION  2.1          Term  Loans.  Subject  to  the  terms  and conditions
hereof,  each  Lender  severally  agrees to make one or more term loans (each, a
"Term  Loan")  to  the  Borrowers  on  the  Closing Date and on any Business Day
thereafter  prior  to  the Maturity Date in an aggregate principal amount not to
exceed  such Lender's Available Commitment.  The initial amount of each Lender's
Commitment  is  set  forth  on Schedule 2.1, or in the Assignment and Acceptance
pursuant  to which such Lender shall have assumed its Commitment, as applicable.
The  Term  Loans may from time to time be (a) Eurodollar Loans or (b) ABR Loans,
as  determined  by  the  applicable  Borrower and notified to the Administrative
Agent  in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.7.  Each Term Loan shall be made as
part  of  a  borrowing  consisting  of Term Loans made by the Lenders ratably in

                                    PAGE   8
<PAGE>
accordance  with  their  respective  Commitments.  Amounts  repaid or prepaid on
account  of  the Term Loans may not be reborrowed.  The Term Loans shall be made
only  if  the  total  Investment  Commitment  Amounts shall not exceed the total
Commitments.

     SECTION 2.2          Procedure for Term Loan Borrowing.  Any Borrower shall
give  the  Administrative  Agent irrevocable notice (including telephonic notice
confirmed in writing) (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent
(a)  in  the  case of Eurodollar Loans, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York, New
York  time,  three  Business Days prior to the date of the anticipated borrowing
and  (b) in the case of ABR Loans, not later than 12:00 noon, New York, New York
time,  one  Business  Day  prior  to  the  date  of  the  anticipated borrowing)
requesting  that  the  Lenders  make  the  Term Loans on such borrowing date and
specifying  the  amount to be borrowed; provided that a notice of an ABR Loan to
finance  the  reimbursement  of an LC Disbursement as required by Section 2.3(e)
shall  be  deemed given one Business Day prior to the date of such drawing.  The
Term  Loans made on the Closing Date shall initially be ABR Loans.  Upon receipt
of  such  notice,  the  Administrative  Agent  shall promptly notify each Lender
thereof.  Not  later  than  11:00 a.m., New York, New York time, on the relevant
borrowing  date, each Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent at
its  office  specified  in  Section 9.1 an amount in immediately available funds
equal  to  the  Term  Loan  to be made by such Lender.  The Administrative Agent
shall  credit the account of the applicable Borrower on the books of such office
of  the Administrative Agent with the aggregate of the amounts made available to
the Administrative Agent by the Lenders in immediately available funds; provided
that  ABR Loans made to fund the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided
in  Section  2.3(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing
Bank.

     SECTION 2.3          Letters of Credit.  (a) General.  Subject to the terms
and  conditions  set  forth  herein,  any Borrower may request the issuance of a
Letter  of  Credit,  for the account of such Borrower on the Closing Date and on
any Business Day thereafter not later than 5 Business Days prior to the Maturity
Date.  In  the  event  of  any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of
this  Agreement  and  the  terms  and conditions of any form of letter of credit
application or other agreement submitted by such Borrower to, or entered into by
such  Borrower  with,  the  Issuing  Bank relating to such Letter of Credit, the
terms  and  conditions  of  this  Agreement  shall  control.

     (b)     Notice of Issuance; Certain Conditions.  To request the issuance of
a  Letter  of  Credit,  a  Borrower  shall  deliver  to the Issuing Bank and the
Administrative  Agent  (at least three Business Days in advance of the requested
date  of  issuance,  unless otherwise agreed to with the Issuing Bank), a notice
requesting  the  issuance  of  such  Letter of Credit, the date of issuance, the
amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof
and  such  other  information  as  shall  be necessary to prepare such Letter of
Credit,  accompanied  by  a  duly  completed  and  executed  letter  of  credit
application  in  the  Issuing Bank's standard form for such Letter of Credit.  A
Letter  of  Credit,  shall  be  issued only if (and upon issuance, the Borrowers
shall  be  deemed  to  represent  and warrant that), after giving effect to such
issuance,  (i)  the LC Exposure shall not exceed $250,000,000, (ii) no Letter of
Credit  shall  have a face amount in excess of $100,000,000, and (iii) the total
Investment  Commitment  Amounts  shall  not  exceed  the  total  Commitments.

     (c)     Expiration Date.  Each Letter of Credit shall expire not later than
five  Business  Days  prior  to  the  Maturity  Date.

     (d)     Participations.  By  the issuance of a Letter of Credit and without
any  further  action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing
Bank  hereby  grants  to  each  Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from the
Issuing  Bank,  a  participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender's
Loan  Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter
of  Credit.  In  consideration  and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender
hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent,
for  the  account  of the Issuing Bank, such Lender's Loan Percentage of each LC
Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrowers on the
date due as provided in Section 2.3(e), or of any reimbursement payment required
to  be  refunded  to the Borrowers for any reason.  Each Lender acknowledges and
agrees  that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph
in  respect of each Letter of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not
be  affected  by  any  circumstance  whatsoever,  including  the  occurrence and
continuance  of  a  Default  or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and
that  each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding
or  reduction  whatsoever.

     (e)     Reimbursement.  If  the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement
in  respect  of  a  Letter  of  Credit,  the  Borrowers  shall reimburse such LC
Disbursement  by  paying  to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC
Disbursement not later than (a) 12:00 noon, New York, New York time, on the date
that  such  LC  Disbursement  is  made,  if  the  applicable Borrower shall have
received  notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York, New York
time,  one  Business  Day  prior to such date or (b) if such notice has not been
received  by  the  applicable Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not
later  than  12:00  noon, New York, New York time, two Business Days immediately

                                    PAGE   9
<PAGE>
following  the  day that the Borrowers receive such notice; provided that, if an
Event  of  Default  set  forth  in  Article  7(g) shall not have occurred and be
continuing,  the  Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested in accordance with
Section  2.2  that  such  payment  be financed with an ABR Loan in an equivalent
amount  and,  to  the extent so financed, the Borrowers' obligation to make such
payment  shall  be  discharged  and  replaced by the resulting ABR Loan.  If the
Borrowers  fail  to  make  such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall
notify  each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from
the  Borrowers  in  respect  thereof  and such Lender's Loan Percentage thereof.
Promptly  following  receipt  of  such  notice,  each  Lender  shall  pay  to
Administrative  Agent  its  Loan  Percentage  of  the  payment then due from the
Borrowers,  in  the  same manner as provided in Section 2.2 with respect to Term
Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.2 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the
payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly
pay  to  the  Issuing  Bank  the  amounts  so  received  by it from the Lenders.
Promptly  following  receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the
Borrowers  pursuant  to  this  Section  2.3(e),  the  Administrative Agent shall
distribute  such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have
made  payments  pursuant  to  this Section 2.3(e) to reimburse the Issuing Bank,
then  to  such  Lenders  and the Issuing Bank as their interest may appear.  Any
payment  made  by  a  Lender  pursuant  to  this Section 2.3(e) to reimburse the
Issuing  Bank  for  any  LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Loans as
contemplated  above)  shall not constitute a Term Loan and shall not relieve the
Borrowers  of  their  obligation  to  reimburse  such  LC  Disbursement.

     (f)     Obligations  Absolute.  The  Borrowers'  obligation to reimburse LC
Disbursements as provided in Section 2.3(e) shall be absolute, unconditional and
irrevocable,  and  shall  be  performed strictly in accordance with the terms of
this  Agreement  under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of:

          (i)     any  lack  of validity or enforceability of a Letter of Credit
or  this  Agreement,  or  any  term  or  provision  therein;

          (ii)     any  amendment  or waiver of or any consent to departure from
all  or  any  of  the  provisions  of  a  Letter  of  Credit  or this Agreement;

          (iii)     the  existence  of any claim, setoff, defense or other right
that  any  Borrower,  or  any  other  Person  may  at  any time have against the
beneficiary under a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent
or  any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement or
any  other  related  or  unrelated  agreement  or  transaction;

          (iv)     any  draft  or  other  document  presented  under a Letter of
Credit  proving  to  be  forged,  fraudulent  or  invalid  in any respect or any
statement  therein  being  untrue  or  inaccurate  in  any  respect;  and

          (v)     any  other  act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the
Issuing  Bank,  the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any other Person or any
other  event  or  circumstance  whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing, that might but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal
or  equitable  discharge  of  any  Borrower's  obligations  hereunder.
Neither  the  Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of
their  Related  Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of
or  in  connection  with  the  issuance or transfer of a Letter of Credit or any
payment  or  failure  to  make  any  payment  thereunder,  including  any of the
circumstances  specified in clauses (i) through (v) above, as well as any error,
omission,  interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft,
notice or other communication under or relating to a Letter of Credit (including
any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation
of  technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of
the  Issuing  Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse
the  Issuing  Bank  from  liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct
damages  (as  opposed  to  consequential damages, claims in respect of which are
hereby  waived  by  each  of the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable
law)  suffered  by any Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank's failure to
exercise the agreed standard of care (as set forth below) in determining whether
drafts  and  other  documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the
terms  thereof.  The  parties hereto expressly agree that the Issuing Bank shall
have exercised the agreed standard of care in the absence of gross negligence or
willful  misconduct  on  the  part  of  the  Issuing Bank.  Without limiting the
generality  of  the foregoing, it is understood that the Issuing Bank may accept
documents  that  appear  on  their face to be in substantial compliance with the
terms  of  a Letter of Credit, without responsibility for further investigation,
and may make payment upon presentation of documents that appear on their face to
be  in  substantial compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit; provided
that  the  Issuing  Bank  shall have the right, in its reasonable discretion, to
decline  to accept such documents and to make such payment if such documents are
not  in  strict  compliance  with  the  terms  of  such  Letter  of  Credit.

     (g)     Disbursement  Procedures.  The  Issuing  Bank  shall,  promptly
following  its  receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a
demand for payment under each Letter of Credit.  The Issuing Bank shall promptly
notify  the  Administrative  Agent  and  the  applicable  Borrower  by telephone
(confirmed  by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank

                                    PAGE   10
<PAGE>
has  made  or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure
to  give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers of their
obligation  to  reimburse  the  Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any
such  LC  Disbursement.

     (h)     Interim  Interest.  If  the  Issuing  Bank  shall  make  any  LC
Disbursement, then, unless the Borrowers shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in
full  on  the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall
bear  interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is
made  to  but  excluding  the  date  that  the  Borrowers  reimburses  such  LC
Disbursement,  at  the  rate  per  annum then applicable to ABR Loans; provided,
that,  if the Borrowers fail to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant
to  Section  2.3(e), then Section 2.9(c) shall apply.  Interest accrued pursuant
to  this  paragraph  shall  be  for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that
interest  accrued  on  and  after  the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to
Section  2.3(e)  to  reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such
Lender  to  the  extent  of  such  payment.

     (i)     Replacement  of the Issuing Bank.  The Issuing Bank may be replaced
at  any time by written agreement among the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent,
and  the  successor  Issuing  Bank.  The  Administrative  Agent shall notify the
Lenders  of  any  such  replacement  of  the Issuing Bank.  At the time any such
replacement shall become effective, the applicable Borrower shall pay all unpaid
fees  accrued  for  the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section
2.10.  From  and  after  the  effective  date  of  any such replacement, (i) the
successor  Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing
Bank  under  this  Agreement  with  respect to any Letter of Credit to be issued
thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term "Issuing Bank" shall be deemed
to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor
and  all  previous  Issuing  Banks,  as  the  context  shall require.  After the
replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain
a  party  hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an
Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by
it  prior  to  such  replacement.

     SECTION  2.4          Repayment  of Loans; Evidence of Debt; etc.  (a)  The
Borrowers  hereby unconditionally promise to pay to the Administrative Agent for
the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of the Term Loans of
such  Lender  on the Maturity Date (or such earlier date on which the Term Loans
shall  become  due  and  payable  pursuant  to  Article  7).

     (b)     Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an
account  or  accounts  evidencing  indebtedness  of each Borrower to such Lender
resulting  from  the  Term Loans of such Lender from time to time, including the
amounts  of  principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to
time  under  this  Agreement.

     (c)     The  Administrative  Agent  shall maintain the Register pursuant to
Section  9.4(c),  and  a  subaccount  therein for each Lender, in which shall be
recorded  (i)  the  amount of each Term Loan made hereunder, including each Term
Loan  evidenced  by  a  Note,  the applicable Borrower and Type thereof and each
Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest
due  and  payable  or to become due and payable from the respective Borrowers to
each  Lender  hereunder  and  (iii)  both  the amount of any sum received by the
Administrative  Agent  hereunder  from  the  various Borrowers and each Lender's
share  thereof.

     (d)     The  entries  made  in the Register and the accounts of each Lender
maintained  pursuant  to  Section  2.4(b)  shall,  to  the  extent  permitted by
applicable  law,  be  prima  facie  evidence of the existence and amounts of the
obligations  of the Borrowers therein recorded, absent manifest error; provided,
however,  that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain
the  Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner
affect  the  obligation of the Borrowers to repay (with applicable interest) the
Term  Loans made to the Borrowers by such Lender in accordance with the terms of
this  Agreement.

     (e)     Each  Borrower  hereby  agrees  that,  upon  the  request  to  the
Administrative  Agent  by  any Lender, such Borrower will execute and deliver to
such Lender a promissory note of such Borrower evidencing the Term Loans of such
Lender,  substantially  in the form of Exhibit H, with appropriate insertions as
to  date  and  principal  amount  (a  "Note").

     SECTION  2.5          Termination and Reduction of Commitments.  (a) Unless
previously  terminated  by  the Borrowers in accordance with this Agreement, the
Commitments  shall  terminate  on  the  Maturity  Date.

     (b)     The  Borrowers  may  at  any  time  terminate, or from time to time
reduce,  the  Commitments;  provided  that (i) each reduction of the Commitments
shall  be  in  an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less
than  $1,000,000  and  (ii)  the  Borrowers  shall  not  terminate or reduce the
Commitments  if,  after  giving  effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Term
Loans  in  accordance  with  Section  2.6, the sum of the Credit Exposures would
exceed  the  total  Commitments.

                                    PAGE   11
<PAGE>
     (c)     The Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election
to  terminate  or  reduce  the  Commitments  under Section 2.5(b) at least three
Business  Days  prior  to  the  effective date of such termination or reduction,
specifying  such  election  and  the effective date thereof.  Promptly following
receipt  of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the
contents  thereof.  Each notice delivered by a Borrower pursuant to this Section
2.5(c)  shall  be  irrevocable;  provided  that  a  notice of termination of the
Commitments  delivered  by  a Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned
upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may
be  revoked  by such Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior
to  the  specified  effective  date)  if  such  condition is not satisfied.  Any
termination  or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent.  Each reduction
of  the  Commitments  shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with
their  respective  Commitments.

     SECTION  2.6          Prepayments.  (a)  The  Borrowers may at any time and
from time to time prepay the Term Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or
penalty,  upon  irrevocable  notice  (including  telephonic  notice confirmed in
writing)  delivered  to  the  Administrative  Agent at least three Business Days
prior  thereto  in  the  case  of Eurodollar Loans and at least one Business Day
prior  thereto in the case of ABR Loans, which notice shall specify the date and
amount  of  prepayment  and  whether  the prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans, ABR
Loans  or  a  combination  thereof, and, if of a combination thereof, the amount
allocable  to  each;  provided  that, if a Eurodollar Loan is prepaid on any day
other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrowers
shall  also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.15.  Upon receipt of any
such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof.
If  any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice, together with
accrued  interest  thereon,  shall  be  due  and  payable  on the date specified
therein;  provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a
conditional  notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section
2.5,  then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice is revoked in
accordance  with  Section  2.5.

     (b)     If  any  Capital  Stock  shall  be  issued  by,  or  any  capital
contribution  shall  be  made  to, any Borrower, any Indirect Co-Investor or any
Investment  Party  (other  than with respect to an Investment in a New Portfolio
Company  and  other  than with respect to any Co-Investment) or if any Borrower,
any  Indirect  Co-Investor  or  any Investment Party (other than a New Portfolio
Company  and  other than ratably with respect to any Co-Investment) receives any
Restricted  Payment,  100%  of  the  net  cash proceeds thereof received by such
Borrower  or Indirect Co-Investor shall be applied toward the prepayment in full
of  the  Term  Loans,  second,  to repay all LC Disbursements and third, to cash
collateralize  any outstanding Letter of Credit on terms reasonably satisfactory
to  the Administrative Agent.  All prepayments made by a Borrower or an Indirect
Co-Investor  in  accordance  with this Section 2.6(b) shall result in a pro rata
reduction  of  the  Commitments.

     (c)     Upon  any  sale,  assignment,  conveyance,  transfer  or  other
disposition  (in  whole or in part) of any outstanding interest in a Borrower or
in  an  Indirect  Co-Investor  (other  than  any  sale,  assignment, conveyance,
transfer  or other disposition by a Co-Investor to any other Co-Investor) or any
outstanding interest of a Borrower or any Indirect Co-Investor in any Investment
Party  or  a  New  Portfolio Company, 100% of the net cash proceeds (taking into
account  any  necessary  escrows)  thereof  received  by  such  Borrower or such
Indirect  Co-Investor  (less  the ratable interest of any Co-Investors) shall be
applied  on  the  date  thereof  first toward the prepayment in full of the Term
Loans,  together  with  accrued  interest  thereon,  second,  to  repay  all  LC
Disbursements  and third, to cash collateralize any outstanding Letter of Credit
on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided, however,
if Borrower or any Investment Party shall sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of
"margin  stock"  as  such  term is defined in Regulation U of the Board, the net
proceeds  from such sale shall be held by the Borrower or such Investment Party,
as  the  case  may  be,  in  cash or marketable direct obligations issued by, or
unconditionally  guaranteed  by,  the  United  States  Government maturing on or
within  one  year  from the date of such sale until the Maturity Date; provided,
further,  that  in  the  event  that  an  interest  in a Borrower or an Indirect
Co-Investor,  or  the  interest  of  a  Borrower  or Indirect Co-Investor in any
Investment  Party  or  New  Portfolio Company which shall not constitute "margin
stock"  shall  be  sold  for  more than the cost of the Investments held by such
Borrower,  Indirect  Co-Investor,  Investment  Party  or  New  Portfolio Company
(including,  without  limitation,  any  interest and fees relating thereto), the
amount  of  net  cash  proceeds  in  excess of such cost shall be held in a cash
collateral  account  in  the name and under the sole dominion and control of the
Administrative Agent as security for the Obligations.  All prepayments made by a
Borrower  in  accordance  with  this  Section  2.6(c) shall result in a pro rata
reduction  of  the  Commitments.

     (d)     The application of any prepayment pursuant to paragraphs (b) or (c)
of  this  Section  2.6 shall be made first to ABR Loans and second to Eurodollar
Loans.  Amounts  prepaid  on  account  of  the Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

     (e)     Notwithstanding  anything  to the contrary contained herein, in the

                                    PAGE   12

<PAGE>
event  that a Borrower would incur costs pursuant to Section 2.15 as a result of
any  payment  due  as  a  result  of  any prepayment to be made pursuant to this
Section  2.6,  such  Borrower,  at  its  option,  may deposit the amount of such
payment  with the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders who would
have  received  such  payment, in a cash collateral account until the end of the
applicable  Interest  Period  at  which  time  such payment shall be made.  Each
Borrower  hereby  grants  to  the  Administrative Agent, for the benefit of such
Lenders,  a  security  interest  in  all  amounts in which such Borrower has any
right,  title  or  interest  which are from time to time on deposit in such cash
collateral  account  and expressly waives all rights (which rights the Borrowers
hereby acknowledge and agree are vested exclusively in the Administrative Agent)
to  exercise  dominion  or  control  over  any  such  amounts.

     SECTION 2.7          Conversion and Continuation Options.  (a) Any Borrower
may  elect  from  time  to  time to convert its Eurodollar Loans to ABR Loans by
giving  the  Administrative  Agent at least one Business Day's prior irrevocable
notice of such election, provided that if such conversion of Eurodollar Loans is
made other than on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, then
such  Borrower  shall  pay the Lenders any amounts due pursuant to Section 2.15.
Any  Borrower may elect from time to time to convert its ABR Loans to Eurodollar
Loans  by  giving  the  Administrative Agent at least three Business Days' prior
irrevocable  notice  of  such election (which notice shall specify the length of
the  initial  Interest  Period  therefor),  provided  that  no  ABR  Loan may be
converted  into a Eurodollar Loan when (i) any Event of Default has occurred and
is  continuing  and  (ii)  the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders have
determined in its or their reasonable discretion not to permit such conversions.
Upon  receipt  of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify
each  Lender  thereof.

     (b)     Any Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of
the  then  current  Interest  Period  with  respect  thereto  by  the  giving of
irrevocable  notice  by  the applicable Borrower to the Administrative Agent, in
accordance  with  the  applicable  provisions  of the term "Interest Period" set
forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable
to  such  Loans,  provided that no Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such when
any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent
has  or  the  Required  Lenders  have  determined  in  its  or  their reasonable
discretion  not to permit such continuations, and provided, further, that if any
Borrower  shall  fail  to  give  any  required notice as described above in this
paragraph  or  if  such  continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding
proviso such Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day
of  such  then  expiring  Interest  Period.  Upon receipt of any such notice the
Administrative  Agent  shall  promptly  notify  each  Lender  thereof.

     SECTION  2.8          Minimum  Amounts  and  Maximum  Number  of  Tranches.
Notwithstanding  anything  to  the  contrary  in this Agreement, all borrowings,
conversions,  continuations  and  optional  prepayments  of  Eurodollar  Loans
hereunder  and  all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in minimum
amounts  of $5,000,000 and incremental amounts of $500,000 in excess thereof and
shall be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto no
more  than  ten  Eurodollar  Tranches  shall  be  outstanding  at  any one time.

     SECTION  2.9          Interest.  (a)  Each  Eurodollar  Loan  shall  bear
interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate
per  annum  equal  to  the  Eurodollar  Rate  determined  for  such day plus the
Applicable  Margin.

     (b)     Each  ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the
Alternate  Base  Rate  plus  the  Applicable  Margin.

     (c)     If all or a portion of (i) any principal of any Term Loan, (ii) any
interest payable thereon or (iii) any Fees or any other amount payable hereunder
(including  LC  Disbursements) shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), the principal of the Term Loans and any
such  overdue  interest,  Fees or other amount shall bear interest at a rate per
annum  which  is  (x) in the case of principal, the rate that would otherwise be
applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.9 plus
2%  or  (y)  in the case of any such overdue interest, Fees or other amount, the
rate  in  effect at such time pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.9 plus
2%, in each case from the date of such non-payment until such overdue principal,
interest,  Fees or other amount is paid in full (before as well as after receipt
of  a  judgment).

     (d)     Interest  shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date
and the Maturity Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c)
of  this  Section  2.9  shall  be  payable  from  time  to  time  on  demand.

     (e)     Whenever  it is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate, interest
shall  be  calculated  on  the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day
year  for  the actual days elapsed; and, otherwise, interest shall be calculated
on  the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed.  The Administrative
Agent  shall  as  soon  as  practicable  notify  the applicable Borrower and the
Lenders  of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate.  Any change in the interest
rate  on  a  Term  Loan resulting from a change in the Alternate Base Rate shall

                                    PAGE   13
<PAGE>
become  effective  as of the opening of business on the day on which such change
becomes effective.  The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify
the  applicable Borrower and the Lenders of the effective date and the amount of
each  such  change  in  interest  rate.

     (f)     Each  determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent
pursuant  to  any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on
the  Borrowers  and  the  Lenders  in  the  absence  of  manifest  error.  The
Administrative  Agent  shall,  at  the  request of any Borrower, deliver to such
Borrower  a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in
determining  any  interest  rate  in  respect  of  its  Eurodollar  Loan.

     SECTION  2.10     Fees.  (a)  The  Borrowers  agree  to  pay  to  the
Administrative  Agent,  for  the  account  of  each  Lender,  a funding fee (the
"Funding  Fee")  equal  to (i) 1.0% of each Term Loan made to fund an Investment
(and  not  for  the payment of interest and fees) (each borrowing of such a Term
Loan,  an  "Investment  Term  Loan"), payable on the date of the funding of each
such  Investment  Term  Loan,  plus  (ii) 0.5% of the outstanding amount of each
Investment  Term  Loan  on  the  seven  month anniversary of the funding of such
Investment  Term  Loan,  plus  (iii)  0.5%  of  the  outstanding  amount of each
Investment  Term  Loan  on  the  nine  month  anniversary of the funding of such
Investment  Term Loan and (iv) 1.0% of the outstanding amount of each Investment
Term Loan on the eleven month anniversary of the funding of such Investment Term
Loan.  Each  Funding  Fee in respect of an Investment Term Loan shall be payable
on  the  borrowing  date of such Investment Term Loan and on the seven, nine and
eleven  month  anniversaries of the borrowing date of such Investment Term Loan.

     (b)     The  Borrowers  agree  to  pay to the Administrative Agent, for the
account  of each Lender, a ticking fee (the "Ticking Fee") in the amount of 0.5%
per  annum  on  the  average  daily  amount  of  the Available Excess Investment
Commitment  Amount,  which  shall be paid by the Borrowers to the Administrative
Agent on June 30, 2000 and the Maturity Date (or if this Agreement is terminated
prior  to  the  Maturity  Date,  the  date  this  Agreement  is  terminated),
respectively.

     (c)     Each  Borrower  shall  pay  to  the  Administrative  Agent, for the
account  of the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, a letter of credit commission with
respect  to  each Letter of Credit issued for its account, in an amount equal to
the Applicable Margin with respect to Eurodollar Loans on the average daily face
amount  of  such Letter of Credit, payable quarterly in arrears on each Interest
Payment  Date  and  on  the  Maturity  Date.  A portion of such letter of credit
commission  equal  to  0.125% of the average daily face amount of the Letters of
Credit  shall  be  payable  to  the  Issuing  Bank  for its own account, and the
remaining  portion  of  such letter of credit commission shall be payable to the
Issuing  Bank and the Lenders to be shared ratably among them in accordance with
their  respective  Loan  Percentages.

     (d)     For purposes of calculating the fees payable by the Borrowers under
this  Section  2.10,  all  prepayments  or repayments of the Term Loans shall be
treated  as being paid in the order such Term Loans were made from and after the
Closing  Date  irrespective  of  the  Borrower  thereof.

     SECTION  2.11     Inability  to  Determine  Interest Rate.  If prior to the
first  day  of  any  Interest  Period  (or  during  any  Interest  Period):

     (a)     the  Administrative  Agent  shall  have  determined  (which
determination, in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding
upon  the  Borrowers)  that,  by  reason of circumstances affecting the relevant
market,  adequate  and  reasonable  means  do  not  exist  for  ascertaining the
Eurodollar  Rate  for  such  Interest  Period,  or

     (b)     the  Administrative  Agent  shall  have  received  notice  from the
Required  Lenders  that  the  Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for
such  Interest  Period  will  not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such
Lenders  (as  conclusively  certified  by such Lenders) of making or maintaining
their  Term  Loans  during  such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall
give  telecopy  or telephonic notice thereof to each Borrower and the Lenders as
soon  as  practicable  thereafter.  If  such  notice is given (i) any Eurodollar
Loans  requested  to  be  made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be
made  as  ABR Loans, (ii) any Term Loans that were to have been converted on the
first  day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as ABR
Loans and (iii) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans shall be converted to ABR Loans
on  the  last  day of the Interest Period applicable thereto.  Until such notice
has  been  withdrawn by the Administrative Agent (which the Administrative Agent
agrees to do when the circumstances that prompted the delivery of such notice no
longer  exist),  no further Eurodollar Loans shall be made or continued as such,
nor  shall any Borrower have the right to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans.

     SECTION  2.12     Pro  Rata  Treatment  and  Payments.  (a)  Each  payment
(including  each  prepayment)  by  a  Borrower  on  account  of principal of and
interest  on, and fees with respect to, the Term Loans and the Letters of Credit
shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts
of  the Term Loans then held by the Lenders or Issuing Bank, as the case may be.

                                    PAGE   14

<PAGE>
     (b)     All  payments  (including  prepayments)  to  be  made by a Borrower
hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest or otherwise, shall be made
without  setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York,
New  York  time,  on  the  due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the
account  of  the  Lenders,  at  the  Administrative  Agent's office specified in
Section  9.1, in dollars and in immediately available funds.  The Administrative
Agent  shall  distribute  such  payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in
like  funds  as received.  If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a
day  other  than  a  Business  Day,  such  payment shall be extended to the next
succeeding  Business  Day (except, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, as otherwise
provided  in clause (i) of the definition of "Interest Period").  In the case of
any  extension  of  any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding sentence,
interest  thereon  shall  be  payable  at  the  then applicable rate during such
extension.

     (c)     Notwithstanding  that  a  Lender  (a  "Non-Funding Lender") has (x)
failed  to  make  a  Term  Loan  required  to  be  made by it hereunder, and the
Administrative  Agent has determined that such Lender is not likely to make such
Term  Loan  or (y) given notice to any Borrower or the Administrative Agent that
it  will  not  make,  or that it has disaffirmed or repudiated any obligation to
make, any Term Loans, in each case, by reason of the provisions of the Financial
Institutions  Reform,  Recovery  and  Enforcement  Act of 1989 or otherwise, any
payment  made on account of the principal of the Term Loans outstanding shall be
made  pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of such
Term  Loans; and any payment made on account of interest on the Term Loans shall
be  made  pro  rata  according  to  the respective amounts of accrued and unpaid
interest  and/or  fees  due and payable on such Term Loans with respect to which
such  payment  is  being  made.  The  Borrowers agree to give the Administrative
Agent  such assistance in making any determination pursuant to this paragraph as
the  Administrative Agent may reasonably request.  Any such determination by the
Administrative  Agent  shall  be  conclusive  and  binding  on  the  Lenders.

     SECTION  2.13     Requirements  of  Law.  (a)  If  the  adoption  of or any
change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof
or  compliance  by  any Lender or the Issuing Bank with any request or directive
(whether  or  not  having  the  force  of  law)  from  any central bank or other
Governmental  Authority  made  subsequent  to  the  date  hereof:

          (i)     shall subject any Lender or the Issuing Bank to any tax of any
kind  whatsoever  with  respect  to  this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any
Eurodollar  Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such
Lender  or Issuing Bank in respect thereof (except Non-Excluded Taxes covered by
Section  2.14, the establishment of a tax based on the net income of such Lender
or  Issuing Bank and changes in the rate of tax on the net income of such Lender
or  Issuing  Bank);

          (ii)     shall  impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special
deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits
or  other  liabilities  in  or  for  the  account  of,  advances, loans or other
extensions  of  credit  by,  or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of
such  Lender  which  is  not  otherwise  included  in  the  determination of the
Eurodollar Rate hereunder or on any Issuing Lender with respect to any Letter of
Credit;  or

          (iii)     shall  impose  on  such  Lender  or  Issuing  Bank any other
condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or
Issuing  Bank,  by  an  amount  which  such  Lender  or Issuing Bank deems to be
material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans
or  to  increase  the  cost  to such Lender or Issuing Bank of participating in,
issuing  or  maintaining  Letters  of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable
hereunder  in  respect  thereof, then, in any such case, the applicable Borrower
shall promptly pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, upon its
demand,  any  additional  amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing
Bank  for  such  increased  cost  or  reduced  amount receivable.  If a Borrower
notifies  the  Administrative  Agent  within five Business Days after any Lender
notifies  such  Borrower  of  any  increased  cost  pursuant  to  the  foregoing
provisions  of  this  Section  2.13(a),  such Borrower may covert all Eurodollar
Loans  of such Lender then outstanding into ABR Loans in accordance with Section
2.7  and  shall,  additionally, reimburse such Lender for any cost in accordance
with  Section  2.15.

     (b)     If  any  Lender  or the Issuing Bank shall have determined that the
adoption  of  or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy
or  in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or
Issuing Bank or any corporation controlling such Lender or Issuing Bank with any
request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force
of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall
have  the  effect  of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's, such Issuing
Bank's  or  such  corporation's  capital  as  a  consequence  of its obligations
hereunder  to  a  level  below that which such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such
corporation  could  have  achieved  but  for such adoption, change or compliance
(taking  into  consideration  such  Lender's or such corporation's policies with

                                    PAGE   15
<PAGE>
respect  to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender or Issuing Bank
to  be  material,  then  from  time  to time, after submission by such Lender or
Issuing  Bank  to  the  Borrowers  through the Administrative Agent of a written
request  therefor,  the  Borrowers shall pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank such
additional  amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank for
such  reduction.

     (c)     A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this
Section 2.13 showing in reasonable detail the calculation thereof and certifying
that  it  is generally charging such costs to other similarly situated borrowers
under  similar  credit facilities submitted by any Lender or Issuing Bank to the
Borrowers through the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error, provided that the determination of such amounts shall be made in
good faith in a manner generally consistent with such Lender's or Issuing Bank's
standard  practices.  The  obligations of the Borrowers pursuant to this Section
2.13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Term
Loans  and  all  other  amounts  payable  hereunder  for a period of nine months
thereafter.  If  any  Lender  becomes  entitled  to claim any additional amounts
pursuant to this Section 2.13, it shall promptly (and in any event no later than
90  days  after  such  Lender  becomes  entitled  to make such claim) notify the
Borrowers  through  the  Administrative Agent of the event by reason of which it
has  become  so  entitled.

     SECTION  2.14     Taxes.  (a) All payments made by the Borrowers under this
Agreement, except as provided in this Section 2.14, shall be made free and clear
of,  and  without  deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or
future  income,  stamp  or  other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees,
deductions  or  withholdings,  now  or  hereafter  imposed,  levied,  collected,
withheld  or  assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding net income taxes
and  franchise  taxes  (imposed  in  lieu  of  net  income taxes) imposed on the
Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection
between  the  Administrative  Agent  or  such Lender and the jurisdiction of the
Governmental  Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing
authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from
the  Administrative Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed
its  obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any
other  Loan Document).  If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties,
charges, fees, deductions or withholdings ("Non-Excluded Taxes") are required to
be  withheld  from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender
hereunder,  the  amounts  so  payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender
shall  be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent
or  such  Lender  (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such
other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this
Agreement,  provided,  however,  that  the  Borrowers  shall  not be required to
increase any such amounts payable to any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded
Taxes  (i)  that  are  attributable  to such Lender's failure to comply with the
requirements  of  this  Section,  (ii)  that are United States withholding taxes
imposed on amounts payable to such Lender at the time the Lender becomes a party
to  this Agreement, or (iii) that are United States withholding taxes imposed as
a  result of an event occurring after the date the Lender becomes a Lender other
than  a  change  in  law  (including any income tax treaty) or regulation or the
introduction  of  any  law  or  regulation  or  a  change  in  interpretation or
administration  of  any  law.  Whenever  any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by a
Borrower,  as  promptly  as  possible  thereafter  such  Borrower  paying  such
Non-Excluded Taxes shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or
for  the  account  of  such  Lender,  as the case may be, a certified copy of an
original official receipt received by such Borrower showing payment thereof.  If
the  Borrowers  fail  to  pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate
taxing  authority  or  fails  to  remit to the Administrative Agent the required
receipts  or  other required documentary evidence, the Borrowers shall indemnify
the  Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or
penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a
result  of  any such failure.  The agreements in this Section 2.14 shall survive
the  termination  of  this  Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other
amounts  payable  hereunder  for  a  period  of  nine  months  thereafter.

     (b)     Each  Lender  (or  Transferee)  that  is  not a person described in
Section  7701(a)(30)  of  the  Code  (a  "Non-U.S. Lender") shall deliver to the
Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the
Lender  from  which  the  related  participation  shall have been purchased) two
copies  of  either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, or,
in  the  case  of  a  Non-U.S.  Lender  claiming  exemption  from  U.S.  federal
withholding  tax  under  Section  871(h)  or  881(c) of the Code with respect to
payments  of  "portfolio  interest",  a  Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions
thereof  or  successors  thereto  and  an annual certificate representing, under
penalty  of  perjury,  that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a "bank" for purposes of
Section  881(c) of the Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning
of  Section  871(h)(3)(B)  of  the Code) of any Borrower and is not a controlled
foreign  corporation  related  to  the  Borrowers (within the meaning of Section
864(d)(4)  of  the  Code), properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S.
Lender  claiming  complete  exemption  from,  or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal
withholding  tax  on  all payments by the Borrowers under this Agreement and the
other  Loan Documents.  Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on
or  before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any

                                    PAGE   16
<PAGE>
Participant,  on  or  before  the  date  such  Participant purchases the related
participation).  In  addition,  each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms on
or before the expiration or obsolescence and promptly upon the invalidity of any
form  previously  delivered  by such Non-U.S. Lender and after the occurrence of
any  event  requiring  a  change  in  the  most  recently  provided form and, if
necessary, obtain any extensions of time reasonably requested by any Borrower or
the  Administrative  Agent  for filing and completing such forms.  Each Non-U.S.
Lender  agrees, to the extent legally entitled to do so, upon reasonable request
by  any  Borrower, to provide to such Borrower (for the benefit of the Borrowers
and  the Administrative Agent) such other forms as may be reasonably required in
order  to  establish  the  legal entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from
withholding  with  respect  to  payments of interest under this Agreement or the
other  Loan Documents, provided that in determining the reasonableness of such a
request,  such  Lender  shall be entitled to consider the cost of complying with
such request (to the extent unreimbursed by the Borrowers) that would be imposed
on such Lender.  Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers at any
time  it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously
delivered  certificate  to  any  Borrower  (or  any  other form of certification
adopted  by  the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose).  Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Section 2.14(b), a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required
to  deliver  any form pursuant to this Section 2.14(b) that such Non-U.S. Lender
is  not  legally  able  to  deliver.

     (c)     If  the  Administrative  Agent  or  any Lender receives a refund in
respect  of  Non-Excluded  Taxes  paid  by any Borrower, which in the good faith
judgment of such Lender is allocable to such payment, it shall promptly pay such
refund, together with any other amounts paid by the Borrowers in connection with
such  refunded  Non-Excluded  Taxes,  to the Borrowers, net of all out-of-pocket
expenses  of  such  Lender incurred in obtaining such refund, provided, however,
that  each  Borrower agrees to promptly return such refund to the Administrative
Agent  or  the applicable Lender, as the case may be, if it receives notice from
the  Administrative Agent or applicable Lender that such Administrative Agent or
Lender  is  required  to  repay  such  refund.

     SECTION  2.15     Indemnity.  Each Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender
and  to  hold  each  Lender harmless from any loss (excluding loss of profit) or
expense  which  such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default
by  any  Borrower  in  making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of
Eurodollar  Loans  after such Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by any Borrower in
making  any  prepayment  after  such  Borrower  has  given  a  notice thereof in
accordance  with  the  provisions  of  this  Agreement  or  (c)  the making of a
prepayment of Eurodollar Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest
Period  with  respect thereto.  Such indemnification may include an amount equal
to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on
the  amount  so  prepaid,  or  not  so borrowed, converted or continued, for the
period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or
continue  to  the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure
to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on
the  date  of  such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for
such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, any margin included therein,
if  any)  over  (ii)  the  amount  of interest (as reasonably determined by such
Lender)  which  would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such
amount  on  deposit  for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank
eurodollar  market.  A  certificate  as  to any amounts payable pursuant to this
Section 2.15, showing in reasonable detail the calculation thereof, submitted to
the  Borrowers  by  any  Lender  shall  be conclusive in the absence of manifest
error.  This  covenant  shall  survive the termination of this Agreement and the
payment  of  the  Loans  and all other amounts payable hereunder for a period of
nine  months  thereafter.

     SECTION  2.16     Change  of Lending Office.  Each Lender agrees that if it
makes any demand for payment under Section 2.14(a), or if any adoption or change
of  the  type  described in Section 2.13 shall occur with respect to it, it will
use  reasonable  efforts  (consistent  with  its  internal  policy and legal and
regulatory restrictions and so long as such efforts would not be disadvantageous
to  it,  as  determined  in  its reasonable discretion) to designate a different
lending  office  if the making of such a designation would reduce or obviate the
need  for  the  Borrowers  to  make  payments  under  Section  2.14(a), or would
eliminate  or  reduce  the effect of any adoption or change described in Section
2.13.

     SECTION 2.17     Replacement of Lenders.  If, at any time (a) the Borrowers
become obligated to pay additional amounts described in Sections 2.13 or 2.14 as
a  result  of  any conditions described in such Sections, (b) any Lender becomes
insolvent  and  its  assets  become  subject to a receiver, liquidator, trustee,
custodian  or  other  Person  having  similar  powers,  (c) any Lender becomes a
"Nonconsenting Lender" (as defined below in this Section 2.17) or (d) any Lender
becomes  a  Non-Funding  Lender,  then  the Borrowers may, on ten Business Days'
prior  written  notice to the Administrative Agent and such Lender, replace such
Lender  by  causing  such  Lender  to (and such Lender shall) assign pursuant to
Section  9.4(b)  all  of  its  rights  and obligations under this Agreement to a
Lender  or  other  entity selected by the Borrowers and reasonably acceptable to
the Administrative Agent for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal

                                    PAGE   17
<PAGE>
amount  of  such  Lender's  Loans  and  all  accrued interest and fees and other
amounts  payable  hereunder; provided that (i) the Borrowers shall have no right
to  replace  the Administrative Agent, (ii) neither the Administrative Agent nor
any  Lender  shall  have  any  obligation  to the Borrower to find a replacement
Lender  or  other  such  entity,  (iii)  in  the  event  of  replacement  of  a
Nonconsenting  Lender or a Lender to which the Borrowers become obligated to pay
additional  amounts  pursuant  to  clause  (a) of this Section, in order for the
Borrowers  to  be  entitled to replace such a Lender, such replacement must take
place  no  later than 180 days after (A) the date the Nonconsenting Lender shall
have notified the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of its failure to agree
to  any  requested  consent,  waiver  or  amendment or (B) the Lender shall have
demanded  payment  of  additional amounts under one of the Sections described in
clause  (a)  of  this Section, as the case may be and (iv) in no event shall the
Lender  hereby  replaced  be  required  to  pay or surrender to such replacement
Lender  or  other entity any of the fees received by such Lender hereby replaced
pursuant  to  this Agreement.  In the case of a replacement of a Lender to which
the  Borrower becomes obligated to pay additional amounts pursuant to clause (a)
of  this  Section, the Borrower shall pay such additional amounts to such Lender
prior  to  such Lender being replaced and the payment of such additional amounts
shall  be  a condition to the replacement of such Lender.  In the event that (x)
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent has requested the Lenders to consent to
a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Loan Documents or to agree to any
amendment thereto, (y) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the
consent of all Lenders and (z) the Required Lenders have agreed to such consent,
waiver  or  amendment,  then any such Lender who does not agree to such consent,
waiver  or  amendment  shall be deemed a "Nonconsenting Lender".  The Borrower's
right  to  replace  a  Non-Funding  Lender pursuant to this Section 2.17 is, and
shall  be,  in  addition  to,  and not in lieu of, all other rights and remedies
available  to the Borrower against such Non-Funding Lender under this Agreement,
at  law,  in  equity,  or  by  statute.

     SECTION 2.18     Nature of Obligations.  (a) The Borrowers shall be jointly
and  severally  liable  for  the  payment and performance of all obligations and
covenants  required  by  this Agreement to be performed by any of them, and each
Borrower  shall  be bound by any notices (including, without limitation, notices
of  borrowings  and  notices  of  conversion or continuation), consents or other
actions  furnished  or taken by any other Borrower hereunder.  At the request of
the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, each Borrower shall confirm in
writing  any  action  taken  or proposed to be taken by such Borrower hereunder,
provided that the failure of any Borrower to furnish such confirmation shall not
affect  such  Borrower's  obligations  under the preceding sentence or any other
provision  of  this  Agreement.  Each  Borrower  hereby  agrees that it shall be
jointly  and  severally liable for all Obligations and that such liability shall
be  absolute  and  unconditional  irrespective  of:

          (i)     any  lack  of  validity  or enforceability of any provision of
this  Agreement,  any  other  Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument
relating  to  this  Agreement  or  any  other  Loan  Document,  or  avoidance or
subordination  of  any  of  the  Obligations;

          (ii)     any  change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in
any  other  term  of,  or  any  increase  in  the  amount  of, all or any of the
Obligations,  or any other amendment or waiver of any term of, or any consent to
departure  from  any  requirement  of,  the  Agreement  or any of the other Loan
Documents;

          (iii)     any  exchange,  release or non-perfection of any Lien on any
collateral for, or any release or amendment or waiver of any term of any consent
to  departure  from  any requirement of any other guaranty of, all or any of the
Obligations;

          (iv)     the absence of any attempt to collect any of the Obligations,
from  any  Borrower  or from any Loan Party  or any other guarantor or any other
action  to  enforce  the  same  or  the  election  of  any remedy by the Lender;

          (v)     any  waiver, consent, extensions, forbearance or granting
of any indulgence by the Lenders with respect to any provision of this Agreement
or  any  Loan  Document;  or

          (vi)     any  other circumstance which might otherwise constitute
a  legal  or  equitable  discharge  or  defense  of  a  borrower or a guarantor.

     (b)     Notwithstanding  anything  to the contrary contained herein, in the
event of a sale of all or substantially all of the Capital Stock or assets of or
by  any  Borrower  (directly or indirectly) to a New Fund and the application of
the  proceeds  thereof  in  accordance  with  this  Agreement and the other Loan
Documents,  such  Borrower  shall  be  released  of  its  obligations under this
Agreement  and  the  other  Loan  Documents.

     SECTION  2.19     Increase of Commitments.  (a) The Borrower shall have the
right with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Syndication Agent, to
request  in  writing,  from  time  to  time  (but not more than twice), that the
aggregate amount of the Commitments then in effect be increased effective upon a
specific  date  (the  "Increase  Effective Date") set forth in such request (the

                                    PAGE   18
<PAGE>
"Increase  Request")  upon  the  same  terms and conditions as set forth herein,
provided  that  no  such  increase  shall  be  permitted if, after giving effect
thereto  the  total aggregate Commitments would exceed $2,500,000,000.  Any such
increase  shall  be in incremental aggregate amounts of not less than the lesser
of  (i)  $10,000,000  or  (ii)  $2,500,000,000  minus  the  amount  of the total
aggregate Commitments then in effect (the "Requested Amount") and shall increase
permanently  the  amount  of  the  total  aggregate  Commitments  then in effect
(subject  to  the  Borrower's  right  to  terminate  or reduce the amount of the
Commitments  pursuant  to  Section  2.5).

     (b)     If  on  the  date  (the  "Increase Response Date") specified in any
Increase  Request  any  Lenders or any new lenders selected by the Borrower with
the  consent of the Administrative Agent and the Syndication Agent (such consent
not  to  be  unreasonably  withheld) elect in their sole discretion, to increase
their  Commitments (each an "Increasing Lender") by an aggregate amount equal to
the  Requested  Amount, then, subject to the provisions of this Section 2.19, on
the  Increase  Effective  Date  therefor,  the  Commitments  of  such Increasing
Lenders,  and  correspondingly,  the  total  aggregate  Commitments,  shall  be
increased  accordingly.

     (c)     Each  increase in the Commitment of an Increasing Lender (including
any  new  lender)  shall  be  evidenced by a written instrument executed by such
Increasing  Lender,  the  Borrower  and the Administrative Agent, and shall take
effect  on  the  related  Increase  Effective  Date.

     (d)     Upon  the  request  to  the  Administrative Agent by any Increasing
Lender,  the  Borrower shall deliver to each such Increasing Lender, in exchange
for the Note held by such Increasing Lender, a new Note, in the principal amount
of  such  Increasing  Lender's Commitment after giving effect to the adjustments
made  pursuant  to  this  Section  2.19.

     (e)     If  any  Lender  or group of Lenders shall have elected to increase
their  Commitments  as  provided  in  this  Section 2.19, then as of the related
Increase Effective Date (i) the Commitments of each Increasing Lender shall take
effect  and (ii) the Commitments of the Lenders which are not Increasing Lenders
shall  remain  constant.

Lien  on any asset of any Loan Party, other than pursuant to the Loan Documents.

     SECTION  3.4          Compliance with Laws and Agreements.  Each Loan Party
is  in  compliance  with  all  laws,  regulations and orders of any Governmental
Authority  applicable  to  it  or  its  property  and  all  agreements and other

revenues  (a)  with  respect  to  any  of  the  Loan  Documents  or  any  of the
transactions  contemplated  hereby, or (b) which, if adversely determined, could
reasonably  be  expected  to  have  a  Material  Adverse  Effect.

     SECTION  3.8          Disclosure.  No  information,  financial  statement,
report,  certificate  or other document prepared or furnished by or on behalf of
any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with this
Agreement  or  any  other  Loan  Document (but excluding all projections and pro
forma  financial  statements  which  shall  have been prepared in good faith and
based  upon  reasonable assumptions) contains any untrue statement of a material
fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements herein

payments  made  simultaneously with such Investment), (v) will not result in the
creation  or  imposition  of  any  Lien on any asset of the applicable Borrower,
Investment  Party  or  New  Portfolio  Company  except  Liens  under  the Pledge
Agreement  and Liens on the acquired assets to secure Indebtedness owed to third

Indirect  Co-Investor,  if  any)  to  repay  Term  Loans  and  other amounts due
hereunder  and  the  Borrower  may  make Restricted Payments to a Co-Investor in
respect  of  any  Co-Investment  amount  in  connection  with  a  sale of assets

permit  any  Indirect  Co-Investor  or  Investment  Party  to  sell, transfer or
otherwise  dispose  of  any  of  its  respective  property  other  than for cash

property  (including,  without  limitation,  any  interest  and  fees  relating
thereto),  the  net  proceeds (less the ratable interest of any Co-Investors and
any  necessary  escrows) of which (to the extent attributable to the Investment)
are distributed to the Borrowers to repay the Term Loans; provided, however, the
Borrower  or  any  Investment  Party  may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of
"margin  stock"  as such term is defined in Regulation U of the Board so long as
the net proceeds from such sale shall be held by the Borrower or such Investment
Party,  as  the case may be, in cash or marketable direct obligations issued by,
or  unconditionally  guaranteed  by, the United States Government maturing on or
within  one  year  from  the date of such sale until the Maturity Date; provided

limitation,  any  interest  and  fees  relating thereto), the amount of net cash
proceed in excess of such cost shall be held in a cash collateral account in the
name  and  under  the  sole  dominion and control of the Administrative Agent as
security  for  the  Obligations.

<PAGE>
     (a)     any Borrower shall fail to pay any principal of any Term Loan or LC

due  date  thereof  or  at  a  date  fixed  for prepayment thereof or otherwise;

     (b)     any  Borrower shall fail to pay any interest on any Term Loan or LC
Disbursement  or  to  pay  any  Fee  or  any  other amount (other than an amount
referred  to  in clause (a) of this Article) payable under or in connection with
this  Agreement,  when  and  as  the same shall become due and payable, and such
failure  shall  continue  unremedied  for  a  period  of  five  days;

     (c)     any  representation or warranty made or deemed made by or on behalf
of any Loan Party in or in connection with any Loan Document or any amendment or
modification  thereof,  or  in  any  report, certificate, financial statement or
other  document furnished pursuant to or in connection with any Loan Document or

observance  or  performance  of any other agreement or condition relating to any
such  Indebtedness  or  contained  in  any  instrument  or agreement evidencing,
securing or relating thereto, or any other event shall occur or condition exist,
the  effect  of  which  default  or  other event or condition is to cause, or to
permit  the holder or beneficiary of such Indebtedness (or a trustee or agent on
behalf  of  such  holder  or beneficiary) to cause, with the giving of notice if
required,  such  Indebtedness  to become due prior to its stated maturity or (in
the  case  of any such Indebtedness constituting a Guarantee) to become payable;
provided  that  a default, event or condition described in clause (i) or (ii) of
this  paragraph  (f)  shall not at any time constitute an Event of Default under

(without  duplication as to the same item of Indebtedness) of the type described
in  clauses  (i)  and  (ii)  of  this  paragraph  (f) shall have occurred and be
continuing  with  respect  to  Indebtedness  the outstanding principal amount of

$10,000,000  in  the  case of any New Portfolio Company, Investment Party or any
other  Loan  Party;  or

future  law  of  any  jurisdiction, domestic or foreign, relating to bankruptcy,

relief  entered  with  respect  to it, or seeking to adjudicate it a bankrupt or

composition  or  other  relief  with  respect to it or its debts, or (B) seeking
appointment  of  a  receiver,  trustee,  custodian, conservator or other similar
official  for  it  or for all or any substantial part of its assets, or any Loan
Party,  Investment  Party  or  any  New  Portfolio  Company shall make a general
assignment  for  the  benefit of its creditors; or (ii) there shall be commenced
against any Loan Party, Investment Party or any New Portfolio Company, any case,
proceeding or other action of a nature referred to in clause (i) above which (A)
results  in  the  entry  of  an  order  for  relief  or any such adjudication or

60  days;  or  (iii) there shall be commenced against any Loan Party, Investment
Party  or any New Portfolio Company any case, proceeding or other action seeking

<PAGE>
Investment  Party  or  any  other  Loan Party, and all such judgments or decrees
shall  not have been vacated, discharged, stayed or bonded pending appeal within
60  days  from  the  entry  thereof;  or

     (i)     any Loan Document shall, at any time, cease to be in full force and
effect  (unless  released  by  the  Administrative Agent at the direction of the

then,  and in every such event (other than an event with respect to any Borrower
described  in clause (g) of this Article), and at any time thereafter during the
continuance  of  such event, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of
the  Required  Lenders shall, by notice to the Borrowers, declare the Term Loans
and  LC  Disbursements  then  outstanding  to be due and payable in whole (or in
part,  in  which  case  any  principal not so declared to be due and payable may
thereafter  be  declared  to  be  due  and  payable)  and  the Commitments to be
terminated,  and  thereupon the principal of the Term Loans and LC Disbursements
so  declared  to  be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and
all  other obligations of the Borrowers accrued hereunder, shall become  due and
payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any
kind,  all of which are hereby waived by each Borrower; and in case of any event
with  respect  to  any  Borrower  described  in  clause (g) of this Article, the
principal of the Term Loans and LC Disbursements then outstanding, together with
accrued  interest  thereon  and  all  other obligations of the Borrowers accrued
hereunder,  shall automatically become due and payable and the Commitments shall
be  automatically  terminated,  without  presentment,  demand,  protest or other
notice  of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by each Borrower; and at any
time  thereafter  during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent
may  exercise  all  of  its  rights  and  remedies under the Pledge Agreement in
accordance  with  all  applicable  laws.

     With respect to all Letters of Credit with respect to which presentment for
honor  shall  not  have  occurred at the time of an acceleration pursuant to the
preceding  paragraph,  the  Borrowers  shall  at  such  time  deposit  in a cash
collateral  account  opened  by  the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the
aggregate  then  undrawn  and  unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit.  Each
Borrower  hereby  grants  to  the  Administrative  Agent, for the benefit of the
Issuing  Bank,  a  security  interest  in  such  cash  collateral  to secure all
obligations  of  such  Borrower  in respect of such Letters of Credit under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  The Borrowers shall execute and deliver
to  the  Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such further
documents  and  instruments  as the Administrative Agent may request to evidence
the  creation  and  perfection of such security interest in such cash collateral
account.  Amounts  held  in such cash collateral account shall be applied by the
Administrative  Agent  to  the  payment  of  drafts  drawn under such Letters of
Credit,  and  the  unused portion thereof after all such Letters of Credit shall
have  expired  or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay other
obligations  of  the  Borrowers  hereunder  and under any Notes.  After all such
Letters  of  Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, all obligations
under  the Letters of Credit shall have been satisfied and all other obligations
of the Borrowers hereunder and under any Notes shall have been paid in full, the
balance, if any, in such cash collateral account shall be returned to Borrowers.

                                    ARTICLE 8

                            The Administrative Agent

     SECTION  8.1          Generally.

     Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as
its  agent  and  authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its
behalf  and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent
by  the  terms  hereof,  together with such actions and powers as are reasonably
incidental  thereto.

     The  bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same
rights  and  powers  in  its  capacity  as  a Lender as any other Lender and may
exercise  the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank
and  its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage
in  any  kind  of business with any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof as if it
were  not  the  Administrative  Agent  hereunder.

     The  Administrative  Agent  shall not have any duties or obligations except

                                    PAGE   26
<PAGE>
those  expressly  set  forth  herein.  Without  limiting  the  generality of the
foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or
other  implied  duties,  regardless  of  whether  a  Default has occurred and is
continuing,  (b)  the  Administrative  Agent shall not have any duty to take any
discretionary  action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary
rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is
required  to  exercise  in  writing  by  the Required Lenders, and (c) except as
expressly  set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to
disclose,  and  shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information
relating  to  any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or
obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in
any capacity.  The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken
or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or
in  the  absence  of  its  own  gross  negligence  or  willful  misconduct.  The
Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless
and  until  written  notice  thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the
Borrower  or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for
or  have  any  duty  to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or
representation  made  in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents
of  any  certificate,  report  or  other  document  delivered  hereunder  or  in
connection  herewith,  (iii)  the  performance  or  observance  of  any  of  the
covenants,  agreements  or  other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the
validity,  enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any
other  agreement,  instrument  or  document,  or  (v)  the  satisfaction  of any
condition  set  forth  in  Article  4 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm
receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

     The  Administrative  Agent  shall  be  entitled to rely upon, and shall not
incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent,
statement,  instrument,  document  or other writing believed by it to be genuine
and  to have been signed or sent by the proper Person.  The Administrative Agent
also  may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed
by  it  to  be  made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for
relying  thereon.  The  Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who
may  be  counsel  for  any  Borrower), independent accountants and other experts
selected  by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it
in  accordance  with  the  advice  of  any such counsel, accountants or experts.

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

     Subject  to  the  appointment  and acceptance of a successor Administrative
Agent  as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any
time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrowers.  Upon any such resignation, the
Required  Lenders  shall  have the right, in consultation with the Borrowers, to
appoint  a  successor, which successor shall be approved by the Borrowers (which
approval  shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  If no successor shall
have  been  so  appointed  by  the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such
appointment  within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice
of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the
Lenders,  appoint  a  successor  Administrative  Agent  which  shall  be  a bank
reasonably  acceptable to the Borrowers.  Upon the acceptance of its appointment
as  Administrative  Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed
to  and  become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring  Administrative  Agent,  and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged  from  its duties and obligations hereunder.  Any fees payable by the
Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable
to  its  predecessor  unless  otherwise  agreed  between  the Borrowers and such
successor.  After  the  Administrative  Agent's  resignation  hereunder,  the
provisions  of  this  Article  and  Section 9.3 shall continue in effect for its
benefit  in  respect  of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it
was  acting  as  Administrative  Agent.

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

     SECTION  8.2          Joint  and  Several Creditorship.  The Administrative
Agent  shall be the joint and several creditor together with each Lender and the
Issuing  Bank  of  each  and  every Obligation of any Borrower towards such Bank
under this Agreement or any Loan Document so that accordingly the Administrative

                                    PAGE   27
<PAGE>
Agent  in  its individual capacity will have its own independent right to demand
performance  by the relevant Borrower of those Obligations, and such Obligations
will  be  discharged by and to the extent of any discharge thereof either to the
Administrative  Agent in its capacity referred to above or to the Administrative
Agent  for  itself  or  to  the relevant Bank, as the case may be.  In case of a
resignation  of  the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.1, the rights of
the  Administrative  Agent  hereunder  shall  be  assigned  by  the  retiring
Administrative  Agent to the successor Administrative Agent by an assignment not
constituting  a  novation  of  debt.

                                  Miscellaneous

     SECTION  9.1          Notices.  Except  in  the  case  of notices and other
communications  expressly  permitted  to  be given by telephone, all notices and

when  delivered,  (b)  in  the  case of delivery by mail, three days after being
deposited  in  the  mails,  postage  prepaid,  or (c) in the case of delivery by
facsimile  transmission,  when sent and receipt has been confirmed, addressed as
follows:

     (a)     if  to  any  Borrower,  to  it  c/o  Hicks,  Muse  Tate  &  Furst
Incorporated,  200  Crescent  Court, Suite 1600, Dallas, Texas 75201, Attention:
Lawrence  D. Stuart, Jr., (Telecopy No. 214-740-7313), with a copy to each other
Borrower);

     (b)     if  to  the Administrative Agent, to The Chase Manhattan Bank, Loan

     (c)     if  to  any  Lender,  to it at its address (or telecopy number) set
forth  in  an administrative questionnaire delivered to the Administrative Agent
and  as  otherwise  notified  in  writing  to  the  Borrowers.

communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.  All notices and
other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions
of  this  Agreement  shall  be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt.

     SECTION  9.2          Waivers;  Amendments.  (a) No failure or delay by the
Administrative  Agent  or  any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder
shall  operate  as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any  such  right  or  power,  or  any  abandonment or discontinuance of steps to
enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the  exercise  of  any  other  right  or  power.  The rights and remedies of the
Administrative  Agent  and  the  Lenders  hereunder  are  cumulative and are not
exclusive  of  any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have.  No waiver
of  any  provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Borrower
therefrom  shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by
paragraph  (b)  of  this  Section,  and  then  such  waiver  or consent shall be
effective  only  in  the  specific instance and for the purpose for which given.
Without  limiting  the  generality  of  the foregoing, the making of a Term Loan
shall  not  be  construed  as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the
Administrative  Agent  or  any  Lender  may have had notice or knowledge of such
Default  at  the  time.

     (b)     Neither  any Loan Document nor any provision thereof may be waived,
amended  or  modified  except  pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing
entered into by the Required Lenders and each affected Loan Party; provided that
no  such  agreement  shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the
written  consent  of  such  Lender,  (ii)  reduce  the  amount of, or extend any
scheduled  date for payment of, any principal or interest in respect of the Term
Loans,  any  LC  Disbursements or any Letter of Credit fees, without the written
consent  of  each  Lender  directly  affected  thereby,  (iii) change any of the
provisions  of  this Section or the definition of "Required Lenders" without the
written consent of each Lender, (iv) release any Loan Party from its obligations
under the Loan Documents without the written consent of each Lender (except upon
payment  in full in cash of the Obligations or, with respect to a given Borrower
or  Indirect  Co-Investor, upon a sale of the Directly Owned Investment Party or
New Portfolio Company in a transaction permitted hereunder and repayment in full
of  such  Borrower's  Term Loans) or (v) release all or substantially all of the
collateral  (except  as  expressly  provided  in  the  Loan Documents) under the
Affiliate Guarantees or Investment Guarantees and the Pledge Agreement (provided
that a partial release of collateral thereunder shall require the consent of the
Required Lenders); provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify
or  otherwise  affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder
without  the  prior  written  consent  of  the  Administrative  Agent.

     SECTION 9.3          Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.  (a) The Borrowers
shall pay or cause to be paid (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred

                                    PAGE   28
<PAGE>
by  the  Administrative  Agent,  including  the  reasonable  fees,  charges  and
disbursements  of  counsel  for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the
administration  of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of
the provisions hereof and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
the  Administrative  Agent or any Lender, including the reasonable fees, charges
and  disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in
connection  with  the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with
the  Loan  Documents, including in connection with any workout, restructuring or
negotiations  in  respect  thereof,  the  reasonable  fees  and disbursements of
counsel  to  the  Administrative  Agent  and after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default a single counsel to the Lenders collectively.

     (b)     Each  Borrower  shall  indemnify  the Administrative Agent and each
Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person
being  called  an "Indemnitee") against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from,
any  and  all  losses,  claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (other
than  non-Non-Excluded  Taxes),  including  the  reasonable  fees,  charges  and
disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against
any  Indemnitee  arising  out  of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the
execution  or  delivery  of  the  Loan  Documents or any agreement or instrument
contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective
obligations  under the Loan Documents or the consummation of the Transactions or
any other transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, (ii) any Term Loan or
the  use  of  the  proceeds therefrom, or (iii) any actual or prospective claim,
litigation,  investigation  or  proceeding  relating  to  any  of the foregoing,
whether  based  on  contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether
any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to
any  Indemnitee,  be  available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities  or  related  expenses  are  determined  by  a  court  of  competent
jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross
negligence  or  willful  misconduct  of  such  Indemnitee or, in the case of any
indemnified  liabilities  arising  out  of  this  Agreement  or  the  other Loan
Documents,  from the material breach by any such Indemnitee of this Agreement or
the  other  Loan  Documents,  as  the case may be; provided that, for purpose of
clarity,  no  provision  of this paragraph (b) shall be deemed to negate Section
9.3(a)(ii)  to  the extent that it provides that after the occurrence and during
the  continuance  of  an Event of Default, the Lenders shall be reimbursed for a
single  counsel.

     (c)     To the extent that the Borrowers fail to pay any amount required to
be  paid  by it to the Administrative Agent, each Lender severally agrees to pay
to  the Administrative Agent such Lender's Loan Percentage (determined as of the
time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of
such  unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss,
claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by
or  asserted  against  the  Administrative  Agent  in  its  capacity  as  such.

     (d)     To  the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrowers shall not
assert,  and  each  Borrower hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on
any  theory  of  liability,  for  special,  indirect,  consequential or punitive
damages  (as  opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection
with,  or  as  a  result  of,  this  Agreement  or  any  agreement or instrument
contemplated  hereby, the Transactions, any Term Loan or the use of the proceeds
thereof.

     (e)     The  agreements  in this Section 9.3 shall survive repayment of the
Loans  and  all  other  amounts  payable  hereunder.

     SECTION  9.4          Successors  and  Assigns.  (a) The provisions of this
Agreement  shall  be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and  their  respective  successors  and assigns permitted hereby, except that no
Borrower  may  assign  or  otherwise  transfer  any of its rights or obligations
hereunder  without  the  prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted
assignment  or  transfer by such Borrower without such consent shall be null and
void).  Nothing  in  this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to
confer  upon  any  Person  (other  than  the  parties  hereto,  their respective
successors  and  assigns  permitted  hereby  and,  to  the  extent  expressly
contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of
this  Agreement.

     (b)     Any  Lender  may  assign  to one or more assignees a portion of its
rights  and  obligations under this Agreement (an "Assignee"); provided that (i)
each  of  the Lenders party to this Agreement on the Closing Date may not assign
more than 49% of its Commitments, Term Loans and LC Exposure without the consent
of  the  Borrowers,  (ii)  except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an
Affiliate  of  a  Lender,  each  of  the  Borrowers  (such  consent  not  to  be
unreasonably  withheld)  and  the  Administrative  Agent  (the  consent  of  the
Administrative  Agent  may  be  withheld in its sole discretion) must give their
prior  written  consent  to  such  assignment,  (iii)  except  in the case of an
assignment  to  a  Lender  or  an  Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the
entire  remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Commitment, Term Loans and LC
Exposure,  the  amount of the Term Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each
such  assignment  (determined  as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with

                                    PAGE   29
<PAGE>
respect  to  such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not
be  less  than  $5,000,000  unless  each of the Borrowers and the Administrative
Agent  otherwise  consent, (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and
deliver  to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with
a  processing and recordation fee of $4,000 (provided, however, if the Borrowers
request  the  replacement  of  any  Lender  pursuant to Section 2.17 hereof, the
Borrowers  shall  pay such processing and recordation fee, which shall be funded
with the proceeds of the Term Loans), and (v) the assignee, if it shall not be a
Lender,  shall  deliver  to  the  Administrative  Agent  an  administrative
questionnaire;  provided  further  that  any  consent of the Borrowers otherwise
required under this paragraph shall not be required if an Event of Default under
clause  (g)  of  Article  7 has occurred and is continuing.  Upon acceptance and
recording  pursuant  to  paragraph  (d)  of  this  Section,  from  and after the
effective  date  specified  in  each  Assignment  and  Acceptance,  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, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent
of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its
obligations  under  this  Agreement  (and,  in  the  case  of  an Assignment and
Acceptance  covering  all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under
this  Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue
to  be  entitled  to  the  benefits  of Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.3).  Any
assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement
that  does  not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this
Agreement  as  a  sale  by  such  Lender  of  a participation in such rights and
obligations  in  accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section.  Notwithstanding
anything  to  the  contrary  provided  herein,  in  the  event  of  any proposed
assignment by a Lender pursuant to this Section 9.4(b), such assignment shall be
offered  to  the  Lenders  pro  rata based on their respective Loan Percentages.

     (c)     The  Administrative  Agent,  acting for this purpose as an agent of
the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York, New York a copy
of  each  Assignment  and  Acceptance  delivered  to  it  and a register for the
recordation  of  the  names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of,
and  principal amount of the Term Loans whether or not evidenced by a Note owing
to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "Register").
The  entries  in  the  Register  shall  be  conclusive,  and  the Borrowers, the
Administrative  Agent  and  the  Lenders  may  treat  each  Person whose name is
recorded  in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for
all  purposes  of  this  Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  Any
assignment  of  any  Loan  whether or not evidenced by a Note shall be effective
only  upon  appropriate  entries with respect thereto being made in the Register
(and  each  Note shall expressly so provide).  Any assignment or transfer of all
or  part  of a Loan evidenced by a Note shall be registered on the Register only
upon surrender for registration of assignment or transfer of the Note evidencing
such  Loan,  accompanied  by  a  duly  executed  Assignment  and Acceptance, and
thereupon  one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be
issued  to  the  designated  Assignee and the old Notes shall be returned by the
Administrative  Agent  to  appropriate  Borrower  marked  "cancelled".

     (d)     Upon  its  receipt  of  a  duly completed Assignment and Acceptance
executed  by  an  assigning  Lender  and  an  assignee, the assignee's completed
administrative  questionnaire  (unless  the  assignee  shall already be a Lender
hereunder),  the  processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of
this  Section  and  any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph
(b)  of  this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and
Acceptance  and  record  the  information contained therein in the Register.  No
assignment  shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been
recorded  in  the  Register  as  provided  in  this  paragraph.

     (e)     Any  Lender  may, without the consent of the Borrowers but with the
consent of the Administrative Agent (the consent of the Administrative Agent may
be  withheld in its sole discretion) sell participations to one or more banks or
other entities (a "Participant") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and
obligations  under  this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment
and  the  Term  Loans  owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender's obligations
under  this  Agreement  shall  remain  unchanged,  (ii) such Lender shall remain
solely  responsible  to  the  other  parties  hereto for the performance of such
obligations  and  (iii)  the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
shall  continue  to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with
such  Lender's  rights  and  obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement or
instrument  pursuant  to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide
that  such  Lender  shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to
approve  any  amendment,  modification  or  waiver  of  any  provision  of  this
Agreement;  provided  that  such  agreement  or instrument may provide that such
Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment,
modification  or  waiver  described  in the first proviso to Section 9.2(b) that
affects  such  Participant.  Subject  to  paragraph  (f)  of  this  Section, the
Borrowers  agree  that  each  Participant  shall  be entitled to the benefits of
Sections  2.13,  2.14 and 2.15 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had
acquired  its  interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section;
provided that, in the case of Section 2.14, such Participant shall have complied
with the requirements of said Section and provided, further, that no Participant
shall  be  entitled  to  receive any greater amount pursuant to any such Section

                                    PAGE   30
<PAGE>
than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the
amount  of  the  participation  transferred  by  such  transferor Lender to such
Participant  had  no  such  transfer  occurred.  Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary provided herein, in the event of any proposed participation by a Lender
pursuant  to  this  Section  9.4(e),  such participation shall be offered to the
Lenders  pro  rata  based  on  their  respective  Loan  Percentages.

     (f)     Any  Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in
all  or  any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of
such  Lender, including any such pledge or assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank,
and  this  Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment to a Federal
Reserve  Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest
shall  release  a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any
such  assignee  for  such  Lender  as  a  party  hereto.

     SECTION  9.5          Survival.  All covenants, agreements, representations
and  warranties  made  by  the Borrowers herein and in the certificates or other
instruments  delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be
considered  to  have  been  relied  upon  by  the other parties hereto and shall
survive  the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Term
Loans,  regardless  of  any investigation made by any such other party or on its
behalf.

     SECTION  9.6          Counterparts;  Integration;  Effectiveness.  This
Agreement  may  be  executed  in counterparts and by facsimile (and by different
parties  hereto  on  different  counterparts), each of which shall constitute an
original,  but  all  of  which  when  taken  together  shall constitute a single
contract.  This  Agreement  and  any  separate  agreements  with respect to Fees
constitute  the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter
hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or
written,  relating  to  the  subject  matter  hereof.

     SECTION 9.7          Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement held to
be  invalid,  illegal  or  unenforceable  in  any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction,  be  ineffective  to  the extent of such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability  without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in
a  particular  jurisdiction  shall  not  invalidate  such provision in any other
jurisdiction.

     SECTION  9.8          Right  of  Setoff.  If an Event of Default shall have
occurred  and  be  continuing,  each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and
from  time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply
any  and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final)
at  any  time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or
for  the  credit  or  the  account  of  any  Borrower against any of and all the
obligations of the Borrowers now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held
by  such  Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any
demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured.  The
rights  of  each  Lender  under this Section are in addition to other rights and
remedies  (including  other  rights  of  setoff)  which  such  Lender  may have.

     SECTION  9.9          GOVERNING  LAW;  JURISDICTION;  CONSENT TO SERVICE OF
PROCESS.  (a)  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED
BY  THE  LAW  OF  THE  STATE  OF  NEW  YORK.

     (b)     Each  Borrower  hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for
itself  and  its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court
of  the  State  of  New York sitting in New York County and of the United States
District  Court  of  the  Southern District of New York, and any appellate court
from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement,  or  for  recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the
parties  hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in
respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New
York  State  or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court.  Each of
the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding
shall  be  conclusive  and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the
judgment  or  in  any  other  manner provided by law.  Nothing in this Agreement
shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise
have  to  bring  any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against any
Borrower  or  any  of  its  properties  in  the  courts  of  any  jurisdiction.

     (c)     The  Borrowers hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive, to the
fullest  extent they may legally and effectively do so, any objection which they
may  now  or  hereafter  have  to  the  laying  of  venue of any suit, action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to
in paragraph (b) of this Section.  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
waives,  to  the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient
forum  to  the  maintenance  of  such  action  or  proceeding in any such court.

     (d)     Each  party  to  this  Agreement irrevocably consents to service of
process  in  the  manner  provided  for notices in Section 9.1.  Nothing in this
Agreement  will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process
in  any  other  manner  permitted  by  law.

BY  JURY  IN  ANY  LEGAL  PROCEEDING  DIRECTLY  OR  INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING  TO  THIS  AGREEMENT  OR  THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER
BASED  ON  CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).  EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES
THAT  NO  REPRESENTATIVE,  AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED,
EXPRESSLY  OR  OTHERWISE,  THAT  SUCH  OTHER  PARTY  WOULD  NOT, IN THE EVENT OF
LITIGATION,  SEEK  TO  ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT
AND  THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY,
AMONG  OTHER  THINGS,  THE  MUTUAL  WAIVERS  AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

     SECTION  9.11     Headings.  Article  and Section headings and the Table of
Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this
Agreement  and  shall  not  affect  the  construction  of,  or  be  taken  into
consideration  in  interpreting,  this  Agreement.

     SECTION  9.12     Confidentiality.   Each Lender agrees to keep information
obtained  by  it  pursuant  hereto  and  the  other Loan Documents identified as
confidential  in writing at the time of delivery confidential in accordance with
such  Lender's  customary  practices  and  agrees  that  it  will  only use such
information  in  connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
and  not  disclose  any  of  such  information  other  than (a) to such Lender's
employees, representatives, directors, attorneys, auditors, agents or affiliates
who  are  advised  of  the  confidential  nature of such information, (b) to the
extent  such  information  presently  is  or hereafter becomes available to such
Lender  on  a non-confidential basis from any source or such information that is
in  the public domain at the time of disclosure, (c) to the extent disclosure is
required  by law (including applicable securities laws), regulation, subpoena or
judicial  order  or  process  (provided that notice of such requirement or order
shall  be  promptly  furnished  to  the  Borrowers unless such notice is legally
prohibited)  or  requested or required by bank, securities or investment company
regulations  or  auditors  or  any  administrative  body  or commission to whose
jurisdiction  such Lender may be subject, (d) to actual or prospective Assignees
or  Participants  who  agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section 9.12,

all  other  amounts  payable  hereunder.  Each  of  the  parties hereto (each, a
"Document  Party") agrees to keep confidential this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents  and  the  transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; provided that
nothing herein shall prevent any Document Party from disclosing such information
(a)  to  any other Document Party or any Affiliate of any Document Party, or any

any  litigation  to  which such Document Party or any of its Affiliates may be a
party,  or  (h)  to  the extent necessary in connection with the exercise of any

     SECTION  9.13     Syndication.  The Borrowers agree that the Administrative
Agent  has the right to syndicate the Commitments and the Term Loans at any time
or  from  time  to  time  to  a group of financial institutions (the "Additional
Lenders")  identified  by  the  Administrative  Agent  in  consultation with the
Borrowers, if the Administrative Agent and its affiliates determine to syndicate
the  Commitments and the Term Loans.  The Borrowers agree to actively assist the
Administrative Agent and its affiliates in completing a syndication satisfactory
to  the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, including (a) using commercially
reasonable  efforts  to  ensure  that the syndication efforts benefit materially
from the Borrower's lending and equity relationships, (b) direct contact between
the  Borrowers  and  any  Additional  Lenders,  (c)  furnishing,  or,  as  the
Administrative  Agent may request, assisting in the preparation of, information,
projections  and  marketing  materials  to  be  used  in  connection  with  the
syndication  and  (d)  the  hosting,  with  the  Administrative  Agent  and  its
affiliates,  of  one  or  more  meetings  of  any  Additional  Lenders.  The
Administrative  Agent  and  its  affiliates  would  manage  all  aspects  of the
syndication,  in  consultation with the Borrowers, including decisions as to the
selection  of  institutions  to  be approached and when they will be approached,
when  their  commitments  will be accepted, which institutions will participate,
the  allocations  of the commitments among any Additional Lenders and the amount
and  distribution  of  fees  among  any  Additional  Lenders.  The  Borrowers
acknowledge  that  the  information the Borrowers may be asked to furnish to the
Administrative  Agent  and  its  affiliates  and  to  any Additional Lenders may
include  sensitive competitive information, and the Administrative Agent and its
affiliates  agree  to take appropriate and customary confidentiality precautions
with  respect  thereto.  Notwithstanding  anything  to  the  contrary  contained
herein,  in  the  event  of  a  syndication  (i) no Lender shall be permitted to
syndicate more than 49% of the Commitments, Term Loans and LC Disbursements held

by it on the Closing Date without the prior written consent of the Borrowers and
(ii)  any  syndication  shall  be offered to the Lenders pro rata (to the extent
desired  by  any  Lenders)  based  on  their  respective  Loan  Percentages.

     SECTION  9.14     Certainty  of Funds.  At the request of any Borrower, the
Administrative  Agent  on behalf of the Lenders shall provide such documentation
as  may  be reasonably agreed between such Borrower and the Administrative Agent
to evidence the availability of the unused Commitment to make Investments by any
Borrower  or  a  proposed  Future  Borrower.
