                          LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

     THIS LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT is made on July 1, 2003, by and among
DANKA OFFICE IMAGING COMPANY ("DOIC"), a Delaware corporation with its chief
executive office and principal place of business at 11201 Danka Circle North,
St. Petersburg, Florida 33716; and DANKA HOLDING COMPANY ("Holding"), a Delaware
corporation with its chief executive office and principal place of business at
11201 Danka Circle North, St. Petersburg, Florida 33716 (DOIC, and Holding being
referred to collectively as "Borrowers," and individually as a "Borrower");
DANKA BUSINESS SYSTEMS PLC (individually and in its capacity as a guarantor,
"PLC"), a public limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales
with its chief executive office and principal place of business at Masters
House, 107 Hammersmith Road, London W140QH England; the various financial
institutions listed on the signature pages hereof and their respective
successors and permitted assigns which become "Lenders" as provided herein; and
FLEET CAPITAL CORPORATION, a Rhode Island corporation with an office at 300
Galleria Parkway, Suite 800, Atlanta, Georgia 30339, in its capacity as
collateral and administrative agent for the Lenders pursuant to Section 12
hereof (together with its successors in such capacity, "Agent"). Capitalized
terms used in this Agreement have the meanings assigned to them in Appendix A,
General Definitions.

                                    Recitals:
                                    --------

     Each Borrower has requested that Lenders make available a revolving credit
facility to Borrowers, which shall be used by Borrowers to finance their mutual
and collective enterprise of providing office imaging equipment, document
solutions and related services and supplies. In order to utilize the financial
powers of each Borrower in the most efficient and economical manner, and in
order to facilitate the financing of each Borrower's needs, Lenders will, at the
request of either Borrower, make loans to all Borrowers under the revolving
credit facility on a combined basis and in accordance with the provisions
hereinafter set forth. Borrowers' business is a mutual and collective enterprise
and Borrowers believe that the consolidation of all revolving credit loans under
this Agreement will enhance the aggregate borrowing powers of each Borrower and
ease the administration of their revolving credit loan relationship with
Lenders, all to the mutual advantage of Borrowers. Lenders' willingness to
extend credit to Borrowers and to administer each Borrower's collateral security
therefor, on a combined basis as more fully set forth in this Agreement, is done
solely as an accommodation to Borrowers and at Borrowers' request in furtherance
of Borrowers' mutual and collective enterprise.

     Each Borrower has agreed to guarantee the obligations of the other Borrower
under this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents.

     NOW, THEREFORE, for Ten Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable
consideration, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. CREDIT FACILITIES

<PAGE>

     Subject to the terms and conditions of, and in reliance upon the
representations and warranties made in, this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, Lenders severally agree to the extent and in the manner hereinafter
set forth to make their respective Pro Rata shares of the Commitments available
to Borrowers, in an aggregate amount up to $50,000,000, as follows:

     1.1.  Revolver Commitment.

           1.1.1.   Revolver Loans. Each Lender agrees, severally to the extent
of its Revolver Commitment and not jointly with the other Lenders, upon the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, to make Revolver Loans to
Borrowers on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date through
the Business Day before the last day of the Term, not to exceed in aggregate
principal amount outstanding at any time such Lender's Revolver Commitment at
such time, which Revolver Loans may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that Lenders shall have no
obligation to Borrowers whatsoever to make any Revolver Loan on or after the
Commitment Termination Date or if at the time of the proposed funding thereof
the aggregate principal amount of all of the Revolver Loans and Pending Revolver
Loans then outstanding exceeds, or would exceed after the funding of such
Revolver Loan, the Borrowing Base. Each Borrowing of Revolver Loans shall be
funded by Lenders on a Pro Rata basis in accordance with their respective
Revolver Commitments (except for Fleet with respect to Settlement Loans). The
Revolver Loans shall bear interest as set forth in Section 2.1. hereof. Each
Revolver Loan shall, at the option of Borrowers, be made or continued as, or
converted into, part of one or more Borrowings that, unless specifically
provided herein, shall consist entirely of Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans.

           1.1.2.   Out-of-Formula Loans. If the unpaid balance of Revolver
Loans outstanding at any time should exceed the Borrowing Base at such time (an
"Out-of-Formula Condition"), such Revolver Loans shall nevertheless constitute
Obligations that are secured by the Collateral and entitled to all of the
benefits of the Loan Documents. In the event that Lenders are willing in their
sole and absolute discretion to make Out-of-Formula Loans, such Out-of-Formula
Loans shall be payable on demand and shall bear interest as provided in Section
2.1.5 of this Agreement.

           1.1.3.   Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Revolver Loans shall
be used by Borrowers solely for one or more of the following purposes: (i) to
satisfy any Debt owing on the Closing Date that is secured by a Lien on the
Collateral including Debt outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement; (ii)
to pay the fees and transaction expenses associated with the closing of the
transactions described herein; (iii) to pay any of the Obligations; and (iv) to
make expenditures for other lawful corporate purposes of Borrowers to the extent
such expenditures are not prohibited by this Agreement or Applicable Law. In no
event may any Revolver Loan proceeds be used by either Borrower to make a
contribution to the equity of any Subsidiary, to purchase or to carry, or to
reduce, retire or refinance any Debt incurred to purchase or carry, any Margin
Stock or for any related purpose that violates the provisions of Regulations T,
U or X of the Board of Governors, or to purchase or redeem any of the Existing
Subordinated Notes, any of the Existing Zero Coupon Notes or any of the
Participating Shares or (except to the extent expressly permitted hereunder) any
of the New Notes.

           1.1.4.   Revolver Notes. The Revolver Loans made by each Lender and
interest accruing thereon shall be evidenced by the records of Agent and such
Lender and by the Revolver Note payable to such Lender (or the assignee of such
Lender), which shall be executed by Borrowers, completed in conformity with this
Agreement and delivered to such Lender. All outstanding principal amounts and
accrued interest under the Revolver Notes shall be due and payable as set forth
in Section 4.2 hereof.

                                      -2-

<PAGE>

           1.1.5.   Voluntary Reductions of Revolver Commitments. Borrowers
shall have the right to permanently reduce the amount of the Revolver
Commitments, on a Pro Rata basis for each Lender, at any time and from time to
time upon written notice to Agent of such reduction, which notice shall specify
the amount and the proposed date of such reduction, shall be irrevocable once
given, shall be given at least 3 Business Days prior to the proposed date of
such reduction, shall be effective only upon Agent's receipt thereof and shall
be accompanied by the payment of the applicable Commitment reduction charge in
accordance with Section 5.2.3. Agent shall promptly transmit such notice to each
Lender. If on the effective date of any such reduction in the Revolver
Commitments and after giving effect thereto an Out-of-Formula Condition exists,
then the provisions of Section 4.2.1(iii) hereof shall apply, except that such
repayment shall be due immediately upon such effective date without further
notice to or demand upon Borrowers. If the Commitments are reduced to zero, then
such reduction shall be deemed a termination of the Commitments by Borrowers
pursuant to Section 5.2.2 hereof. The Revolver Commitments once reduced may not
be reinstated without the written consent of all Lenders.

     1.2.  Reserved.

     1.3.  LC Facility.

           1.3.1.   Procurement of Letters of Credit. Subject to all of the
terms and conditions hereof, Fleet agrees to establish the LC Facility pursuant
to which, during the period from the Closing Date to (but excluding) the 20th
day prior to the last day of the Term, Fleet shall procure from Bank one or more
Letters of Credit on Borrowers' request therefor from time to time, subject to
the following terms and conditions:

                    (i)    Each Borrower acknowledges that Bank's willingness to
     issue any Letter of Credit is conditioned upon Bank's receipt of (A) the LC
     Support duly executed and delivered to Bank by Fleet, (B) an LC Application
     with respect to the requested Letter of Credit and (C) such other
     instruments and agreements as Bank may customarily require for the issuance
     of a letter of credit of equivalent type and amount as the requested Letter
     of Credit. Fleet shall have no obligation to execute any LC Support or to
     join with either Borrower in executing an LC Application unless (x) Fleet
     receives an LC Request from such Borrower at least 3 Business Days prior to
     the date on which such Borrower desires to submit such LC Application to
     Bank and (y) each of the LC Conditions is satisfied on the date of Fleet's
     receipt of the LC Request and at the time of the requested execution of the
     LC Application. Any Letter of Credit issued on the Closing Date shall be
     for an amount in Dollars that is greater than $250,000. In no event shall
     Fleet or any other Lender have any liability or obligation to either
     Borrower or any Subsidiary for any failure or refusal by Bank to issue, for
     Bank's delay in issuing, or for any error of Bank in issuing any Letter of
     Credit.

                    (ii)   Letters of Credit may be requested by a Borrower only
     if they are to be used (a) to support obligations of such Borrower incurred
     in the Ordinary Course of Business of such Borrower, or (b) for such other
     purposes as Agent and Lenders may approve from time to time in writing.

                    (iii)  Borrowers shall comply with all of the terms and
     conditions imposed on Borrowers by Bank, whether such terms and conditions
     are contained in an LC Application or in any agreement with respect thereto
     (and Agent and each Lender consent to such terms and conditions and agree
     that Borrowers' compliance with the same shall not give rise to an Event of

                                      -3-

<PAGE>

     Default) and subject to the rights of Bank, Fleet shall have the same
     rights and remedies that Bank has under any agreements that Borrowers may
     have with Bank in addition to any rights and remedies contained in any of
     the Loan Documents. Borrowers jointly and severally agree to reimburse Bank
     for any draw under any Letter of Credit as hereinafter provided, and to pay
     Bank the amount of all other liabilities and obligations payable to Bank
     under or in connection with any Letter of Credit immediately when due,
     irrespective of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that either
     Borrower may have at any time against Bank or any other Person. If Fleet
     shall pay any amount under a LC Support with respect to any Letter of
     Credit, then Borrowers shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay to
     Fleet, in Dollars on the first Business Day following the date on which
     payment was made by Fleet under such LC Support (the "Reimbursement Date"),
     an amount equal to the amount paid by Fleet under such LC Support (or, if
     payment thereunder was made by Fleet in a currency other than Dollars, an
     amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such currency at the time of
     Fleet's payment under such LC Support, in each case) together with interest
     from and after the Reimbursement Date until payment in full is made by
     Borrowers at the Default Rate for Revolver Loans constituting Base Rate
     Loans. Until Fleet has received payment from Borrowers in accordance with
     the foregoing provisions of this clause (iii), Fleet, in addition to all of
     its other rights and remedies under this Agreement, shall be fully
     subrogated to (A) the rights and remedies of Bank as issuer of the Letter
     of Credit under any agreement with Borrowers relating to the issuance of
     such Letter of Credit, and (B) the rights and remedies of each beneficiary
     under such Letter of Credit whose claims against Borrowers have been
     discharged with the proceeds of such Letter of Credit. Whether or not a
     Borrower submits any Notice of Borrowing to Agent, Borrowers shall be
     deemed to have requested from Lenders a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in an
     amount necessary to pay to Fleet all amounts due Fleet on any Reimbursement
     Date and each Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata share of such Borrowing
     whether or not any Default or Event of Default has occurred or exists, the
     Commitments have been terminated, the funding of the Borrowing deemed
     requested by Borrowers would result in, or increase the amount of, any
     Out-of-Formula Condition, or any of the conditions set forth in Section 10
     hereof are not satisfied.

                    (iv)   Borrowers assume all risks of the acts, omissions or
     misuses of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof. The obligation
     of Borrowers to reimburse Fleet for any payment made by Fleet under the LC
     Support shall be absolute, unconditional, irrevocable and joint and several
     and shall be paid without regard to any lack of validity or enforceability
     of any Letter of Credit, the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or
     other right which Borrowers may have at any time against a beneficiary of
     any Letter of Credit, or improper honor by Bank of any draw request under a
     Letter of Credit. If presentation of a demand, draft, certificate or other
     document does not comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit and either
     Borrower contends that, as a consequence of such noncompliance it has no
     obligation to reimburse Bank for any payment made with respect thereto,
     Borrowers shall nevertheless be obligated to reimburse Fleet for any
     payment made under the LC Support with respect to such Letter of Credit,
     but without waiving any claim Borrowers may have against Bank in connection
     therewith. All disputes regarding any Letter of Credit shall be resolved by
     Borrowers directly with Bank.

                    (v)    No Letter of Credit shall be extended or amended in
     any respect that is not solely ministerial, unless all of the LC Conditions
     are met as though a new Letter of Credit were being requested and issued.
     With respect to any Letter of Credit that contains any "evergreen" or
     automatic renewal provision, each Lender shall be deemed to have consented
     to any such extension or renewal unless such Lender shall have provided to
     Agent written notice

                                      -4-

<PAGE>

     that it declines to consent to any such extension or renewal at least 30
     days prior to the date on which the issuer of the Letter of Credit is
     entitled to decline to extend or renew the Letter of Credit. If all of the
     LC Conditions are met and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and
     is continuing, no Lender shall have the right to decline to consent to any
     such extension or renewal.

                    (vi)   Each Borrower hereby authorizes and directs Bank to
     deliver to Fleet all instruments, documents and other writings and Property
     received by Bank pursuant to or in connection with any Letter of Credit and
     to accept and rely upon Fleet's instructions and agreements with respect to
     all matters arising in connection with such Letter of Credit and the
     related LC Application.

           1.3.2.   Participations.

                    (i)    Immediately upon the issuance by Bank of any Letter
     of Credit, each Lender (other than Fleet) shall be deemed to have
     irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from Fleet, without
     recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation equal to the
     Pro Rata share of such Lender (a "Participating Lender") in all LC
     Outstandings arising in connection with such Letter of Credit and any
     security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto, but in no event greater
     than an amount which, when added to such Lender's Pro Rata share of all
     Revolver Loans and LC Outstandings then outstanding, exceeds such Lender's
     Revolver Commitment; provided, however, that if one or more of the
     conditions set forth in Section 10 or Section 1.3.1 has not been satisfied,
     Fleet shall have no obligation to procure the requested Letter of Credit
     until such time (if ever) as such condition has been waived or met in
     accordance with this Agreement. Fleet shall not be charged with notice or
     knowledge of any existence of any Default or any Event of Default or the
     failure of any conditions in Sections 10 or 1.3.1 hereof to be satisfied
     prior to its receipt of a written notice from a Lender.

                    (ii)   If Fleet makes any payment under an LC Support and
     Borrowers do not repay or cause to be repaid the amount of such payment on
     the Reimbursement Date, Fleet shall promptly notify Agent, which shall
     promptly notify each Participating Lender, of such payment and each
     Participating Lender shall promptly (and in any event within 1 Business Day
     after its receipt of notice from Agent) and unconditionally pay to Agent,
     for the account of Fleet, in immediately available funds, the amount of
     such Participating Lender's Pro Rata share of such payment, and Agent shall
     promptly pay such amounts to Fleet. If a Participating Lender does not make
     its Pro Rata share of the amount of such payment available to Agent on a
     timely basis as herein provided, such Participating Lender agrees to pay to
     Agent for the account of Fleet, forthwith on demand, such amount together
     with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate until paid. The failure of
     any Participating Lender to make available to Agent for the account of
     Fleet such Participating Lender's Pro Rata share of the LC Outstandings
     shall not relieve any other Participating Lender of its obligation
     hereunder to make available to Agent its Pro Rata share of the LC
     Outstandings, but no Participating Lender shall be responsible for the
     failure of any other Participating Lender to make available to Agent its
     Pro Rata share of the LC Outstandings on the date such payment is to be
     made.

                    (iii)  Whenever Fleet receives a payment on account of the
     LC Outstandings, including any interest thereon, as to which Agent has
     previously received payments from any Participating Lender for the account
     of Fleet, Fleet shall promptly pay to each Participating Lender which has
     funded its participating interest therein, in immediately available funds,
     an

                                      -5-

<PAGE>

     amount equal to such Participating Lender's Pro Rata share thereof.

                    (iv)   The obligation of each Participating Lender to make
     payments to Agent for the account of Fleet in connection with Fleet's
     payment under a LC Support shall be absolute, unconditional and
     irrevocable, not subject to any counterclaim, setoff, qualification or
     exception whatsoever, and shall be made in accordance with the terms and
     conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances and irrespective of
     whether or not Borrowers may assert or have any claim for any lack of
     validity or unenforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan
     Documents; the existence of any Default or Event of Default; any draft,
     certificate or other document presented under a Letter of Credit having
     been determined to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any
     respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;
     the existence of any setoff or defense any Obligor may have with respect to
     any of the Obligations; or the termination of the Commitments.

                    (v)    Neither Fleet nor any of its officers, directors,
     employees or agents shall be liable to any Participating Lender for any
     action taken or omitted to be taken under or in connection with any of the
     LC Documents except as a result of actual gross negligence or willful
     misconduct on the part of Fleet. Fleet does not assume any responsibility
     for any failure or delay in performance or breach by Borrowers or any other
     Person of any of its obligations under any of the LC Documents. Fleet does
     not make to Participating Lenders any express or implied warranty,
     representation or guaranty with respect to the Collateral, the LC
     Documents, or any Obligor. Fleet shall not be responsible to any
     Participating Lender for any recitals, statements, information,
     representations or warranties contained in, or for the execution, validity,
     genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of or any of the LC Documents;
     the validity, genuineness, enforceability, collectibility, value or
     sufficiency of any of the Collateral or the perfection of any Lien therein;
     or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations,
     business, creditworthiness or legal status of either Borrower or any other
     Obligor or any Receivable Debtor. In connection with its administration of
     and enforcement of rights or remedies under any of the LC Documents, Fleet
     shall be entitled to act, and shall be fully protected in acting upon, any
     certification, notice or other communication in whatever form believed by
     Fleet, in good faith, to be genuine and correct and to have been signed,
     sent or made by a proper Person. Fleet may consult with and employ legal
     counsel, accountants and other experts and to advise it concerning its
     rights, powers and privileges under the LC Documents and shall be entitled
     to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith
     reliance upon, any advice given by such experts. Fleet may employ agents
     and attorneys-in-fact in connection with any matter relating to the LC
     Documents and shall not be liable for the negligence, default or misconduct
     of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by Fleet with reasonable
     care. Fleet shall not have any liability to any Participating Lender by
     reason of Fleet's refraining to take any action under any of the LC
     Documents without having first received written instructions from the
     Required Lenders to take such action.

                    (vi)   Upon the request of any Participating Lender, Fleet
     shall furnish to such Participating Lender copies (to the extent then
     available to Fleet) of each outstanding Letter of Credit and related LC
     Application and all other documentation pertaining to such Letter of Credit
     as may be in the possession of Fleet and reasonably requested from time to
     time by such Participating Lender.

           1.3.3.   Cash Collateral Account. If any LC Outstandings, whether or
not then due or payable, shall for any reason be outstanding (i) at any time
when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) on any date that
Availability is less than zero, or (iii) on or at any time after the Commitment
Termination Date, then Borrowers shall, on Fleet's or Agent's request, forthwith
deposit with Agent, in cash, an amount equal to 105% of the aggregate amount of
LC Outstandings. If Borrowers fail to make such deposit on the first Business
Day following Agent's or Fleet's demand therefor, Lenders may (and shall upon
direction of the Required Lenders) advance such amount as Revolver Loans
(whether or not an Out-of-Formula Condition is created thereby). Such cash
(together with any interest accrued thereon) shall be held by Agent in the Cash
Collateral Account and may be invested, in Agent's discretion, in Cash
Equivalents. Each Borrower hereby pledges to Agent and grants to Agent a
security interest in, for the benefit of Agent in such capacity and for the Pro
Rata benefit of Lenders, all Cash Collateral held in the Cash Collateral Account
from time to time and all proceeds thereof, as security for the payment of all
Obligations, whether or not then due or payable. From time to time after cash is
deposited in the Cash Collateral Account, Agent may apply Cash Collateral then
held in the Cash Collateral Account to the payment of any amounts, in such order
as Agent may elect, as shall be or shall become due and payable by Borrowers to
Agent or any Lender with respect to the LC Obligations. Neither a Borrower nor
any other Person claiming by, through or under or on behalf of Borrowers shall
have any right to withdraw any of the Cash Collateral held in the Cash
Collateral Account, including any accrued interest, provided that upon
termination or expiration of each Letter of Credit and the payment and
satisfaction of all of the LC Outstandings with respect thereto, any Cash
Collateral remaining in the Cash Collateral Account with respect to such Letter
of Credit shall be returned to Borrowers unless an Event of Default then exists
(in which event Agent may apply such Cash Collateral to the payment of any other
Obligations outstanding, with any surplus remaining after Full Payment of the
Obligations to be turned over to Borrowers).

           1.3.4.   Indemnifications.

                    (i)    In addition to any other indemnity which Borrowers
     may have to Agent or any Lender under any of the other Loan Documents and
     without limiting such other indemnification provisions, each Borrower
     hereby agrees to indemnify and defend each of the Agent Indemnitees and
     Lender Indemnitees and to hold each of the Agent Indemnitees and Lender
     Indemnitees harmless from and against any and all Indemnified Claims which
     any Agent Indemnitee or Lender Indemnitee may (other than as the actual
     result of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct) incur or be
     subject to as a consequence, directly or indirectly, of (a) the issuance
     of, payment or failure to pay or any performance or failure to perform
     under any Letter of Credit or LC Support or (b) any suit, investigation or
     proceeding as to which Agent or any Lender is or may become a party to as a
     consequence, directly or indirectly, of the issuance of any Letter of
     Credit or any LC Support or the payment or failure to pay thereunder.

                    (ii)   Each Participating Lender agrees to indemnify and
     defend each of the Fleet Indemnitees (to the extent the Fleet Indemnitees
     are not reimbursed by Borrowers or any other Obligor, but without limiting
     the indemnification obligations of Borrowers under this Agreement), on a
     Pro Rata basis, from and against any and all Indemnified Claims which may
     be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any of the Fleet Indemnitees
     in any way related to or arising out of Fleet's administration or
     enforcement of rights or remedies under any of the LC Documents or any of
     the transactions contemplated thereby (including costs and expenses that
     Borrowers are obligated to pay under Section 14.2 hereof), provided that no
     Participating Lender shall be liable to any Fleet Indemnitee for any of the
     foregoing to the extent that they result solely

                                      -7-

<PAGE>

     from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Fleet Indemnitee.

SECTION 2. INTEREST, FEES AND CHARGES

     2.1.  Interest.

           2.1.1.   Rates of Interest. Borrowers jointly and severally agree to
pay interest in respect of all unpaid principal amounts of the Revolver Loans
from the respective dates such principal amounts are advanced until paid
(whether at stated maturity, on acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum
equal to the applicable rate indicated below:

                    (i)    for Revolver Loans made or outstanding as Base Rate
     Loans, the Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate in effect from time to
     time; and

                    (ii)   for Revolver Loans made or outstanding as LIBOR
     Loans, the Applicable Margin plus the relevant Adjusted LIBOR Rate for the
     applicable Interest Period selected by Borrowers in conformity with this
     Agreement.

           Upon determining the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period
requested by Borrowers, Agent shall promptly notify Borrowers thereof by
telephone and, if so requested by Borrowers, confirm the same in writing. Such
determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding on
all parties and for all purposes. The applicable rate of interest for all Loans
(or portions thereof) bearing interest based upon the Base Rate shall be
increased or decreased, as the case may be, by an amount equal to any increase
or decrease in the Base Rate, with such adjustments to be effective as of the
opening of business on the day that any such change in the Base Rate becomes
effective. Interest on each Loan shall accrue from and including the date on
which such Loan is made, converted to a Loan of another Type or continued as a
LIBOR Loan to (but excluding) the date of any repayment thereof; provided,
however, that, if a Loan is repaid on the same day made, one day's interest
shall be paid on such Loan. The Base Rate on the date hereof is 4.0% per annum
and, therefore, the rate of interest in effect hereunder on the date hereof,
expressed in simple interest terms, is 4.50% per annum with respect to any
portion of the Revolver Loans bearing interest as a Base Rate Loan.

           2.1.2.   Conversions and Continuations.

                    (i)    Borrowers may on any Business Day, subject to the
     giving of a proper Notice of Conversion/Continuation as hereinafter
     described, elect (A) to continue all or any part of a LIBOR Loan by
     selecting a new Interest Period therefor, to commence on the last day of
     the immediately preceding Interest Period, or (B) to convert all or any
     part of a Loan of one Type into a Loan of another Type; provided, however,
     that no outstanding Loans may be converted into or continued as LIBOR Loans
     when any Default or Event of Default exists. Any conversion of a LIBOR Loan
     into a Base Rate Loan shall be made on the last day of the Interest Period
     for such LIBOR Loan. Any conversion or continuation made with respect to
     less than the entire outstanding balance of the Revolver Loans must be
     allocated among Lenders on a Pro Rata basis, and the Interest Period for
     Loans converted into or continued as LIBOR Loans shall be coterminous for
     each Lender.

                    (ii)   Whenever Borrowers desire to convert or continue
     Loans under Section 2.1.2(i), Borrower Agent shall give Agent written
     notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) substantially
     in the form of Exhibit C, signed by an authorized officer of

                                      -8-

<PAGE>

     Borrower Agent, at least 1 Business Day before the requested conversion
     date, in the case of a conversion into Base Rate Loans, and at least 3
     Business Days before the requested conversion or continuation date, in the
     case of a conversion into or continuation of LIBOR Loans. Promptly after
     receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Agent shall notify each
     Lender in writing of the proposed conversion or continuation. Each such
     Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall be irrevocable and shall specify
     the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be converted or continued,
     the date of such conversion or continuation (which shall be a Business Day)
     and whether the Loans are being converted into or continued as LIBOR Loans
     (and, if so, the duration of the Interest Period to be applicable thereto
     and, in the absence of any specification by Borrowers of the Interest
     Period, an Interest Period of one month will be deemed to be specified) or
     Base Rate Loans. If, upon the expiration of any Interest Period in respect
     of any LIBOR Loans, Borrowers shall have failed to deliver the Notice of
     Conversion/Continuation, Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected to
     convert such LIBOR Loans to Base Rate Loans.

           2.1.3.   Interest Periods. In connection with the making or
continuation of, or conversion into, each Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, Borrowers
shall select an interest period (each an "Interest Period") to be applicable to
such LIBOR Loan, which interest period shall commence on the date such LIBOR
Loan is made and shall end on a numerically corresponding day in the first,
second, third or sixth month thereafter; provided, however, that:

                    (i)    the initial Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan shall
     commence on the date of such Borrowing (including the date of any
     conversion from a Loan of another Type) and each Interest Period occurring
     thereafter in respect of such Revolver Loan shall commence on the date on
     which the next preceding Interest Period expires;

                    (ii)   if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a
     day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the
     next succeeding Business Day, provided that, if any Interest Period in
     respect of LIBOR Loans would otherwise expire on a day that is not a
     Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day
     occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next
     preceding Business Day;

                    (iii)  any Interest Period that begins on a day for which
     there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end
     of such Interest Period shall expire on the last Business Day of such
     calendar month; and

                    (iv)   no Interest Period shall extend beyond the last day
     of the Term.

           2.1.4.   Interest Rate Not Ascertainable. If Agent shall determine
(which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and
binding upon all parties) that on any date for determining the Adjusted LIBOR
Rate for any Interest Period, by reason of any changes arising after the date of
this Agreement affecting the London interbank market or any Lender's or Bank's
position in such market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining
the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of
Adjusted LIBOR Rate, then, and in any such event, Agent shall forthwith give
notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrowers of such determination.
Until Agent notifies Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to the
suspension described herein no longer exist, the obligation of Lenders to make
LIBOR Loans shall be suspended, and such affected Loans then outstanding shall,
at the end of the then applicable Interest Period or at such earlier time as may
be required by Applicable Law, bear the same interest as Base Rate Loans.

                                      -9-

<PAGE>

           2.1.5.   Default Rate of Interest. Borrowers shall pay interest at a
rate per annum equal to the Default Rate (i) with respect to the principal
amount of any portion of the Obligations (and, to the extent permitted by
Applicable Law, all past due interest) that is not paid on the due date thereof
(whether due at stated maturity, on demand, upon acceleration or otherwise)
until Full Payment thereof; (ii) with respect to the principal amount of all of
the Obligations (and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, all past due
interest) upon the earlier to occur of (x) Borrower's receipt of notice from
Agent of the Required Lenders' election to charge the Default Rate based upon
the existence of any Event of Default (which notice Agent shall send only with
the consent or at the direction of the Required Lenders), whether or not
acceleration or demand for payment of the Obligations has been made, or (y) the
commencement by or against either Borrower of an Insolvency Proceeding whether
or not under the circumstances described in clauses (i) or (ii) hereof the
Required Lenders elect to accelerate the maturity or demand payment of any of
the Obligations; and (iii) with respect to the principal amount of any
Out-of-Formula Loans, whether or not demand for payment thereof has been made by
Agent. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Default Rate shall
apply and accrue on any judgment entered with respect to any of the Obligations
and to the unpaid principal amount of the Obligations during any Insolvency
Proceeding of a Borrower. Each Borrower acknowledges that the cost and expense
to Agent and each Lender attendant upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
are difficult to ascertain or estimate and that the Default Rate is a fair and
reasonable estimate to compensate Agent and Lender for such added cost and
expense. Interest accrued at the Default Rate shall be due and payable on
demand.

     2.2. Fees.  In consideration of Lender's establishment of the
Commitments in favor of Borrowers, and Agent's agreement to serve as collateral
and administrative agent hereunder, Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay
the following fees:

           2.2.1.   Closing Fee and Agent's Fee. Borrowers shall pay to Agent a
closing fee and agent's fee, in each case in accordance with the terms set forth
in the Fee Letter.

           2.2.2.   Unused Line Fee. Borrowers shall pay to Agent for the Pro
Rata benefit of Lenders a fee equal to the Applicable Margin for the unused line
fee multiplied by the amount by which the Average Loan Balance for any calendar
quarter (or portion thereof that the Commitments are in effect) is less than the
Average Commitments Amount for such calendar quarter, such fee to be paid
quarterly in arrears on the first day of each January, April, July and October;
but if the Commitments are terminated on a day other than the first day of
January, April, July or October, then any such fee payable for the calendar
quarter in which termination shall occur shall be paid on the effective date of
such termination.

           2.2.3. LC Facility Fees. Borrowers shall pay: (a)(i) to Agent,
through its Treasury and International Services Group, for the Pro Rata account
of each Lender, for standby Letters of Credit, a per annum fee equal to the
Applicable Margin in effect from time to time for LIBOR Loans based on the
average amount available to be drawn from time to time under all standby Letters
of Credit outstanding and under all standby Letters of Credit that are paid or
expire during the period of measurement, payable quarterly, in arrears, on the
first day of each January, April, July and October; and (ii) to Bank, for its
own account, all normal and customary charges associated with the issuance,
amending, negotiating, processing and administration of standby Letters of
Credit, payable as and when assessed by Bank; and (b)(i) to Agent, through its
Treasury and International Services Group, for the Pro Rata account of each
Lender, for documentary Letters of Credit, a per annum fee equal to the
Applicable Margin in effect from time to time for LIBOR Loans based on the
average amount available to be drawn from time to time

                                      -10-

<PAGE>

under all documentary Letters of Credit outstanding and under all documentary
Letters of Credit that are paid or expire during the period of measurement,
payable quarterly, in arrears, on the first day of each January, April, July and
October; and (ii) to Bank, for its own account, for documentary Letters of
Credit, all normal and customary charges associated with the issuance, amending,
negotiating, processing and administration of documentary Letters of Credit,
payable as and when assessed by Bank. At any time that the Default Rate accrues
on any Revolver Loan, the Applicable Margin in effect for purposes of
calculating the Letter of Credit fees as provided in this Section 2.2.3 shall
equal 2% in excess of the Applicable Margin otherwise applicable.

           2.2.4.   Audit and Appraisal Fees. Borrowers shall reimburse Agent
and Lenders for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Agent and Lenders
in connection with (i) examinations and reviews of any Obligor's books and
records and such other matters pertaining to any Obligor or any Collateral as
Agent shall deem appropriate in the exercise of its reasonable credit judgment
up to 3 times per Loan Year, unless a Default or Event of Default exists (in
which event, there shall be no limit on the number of examinations and reviews
for which Borrowers shall be obligated to reimburse Agent and Lenders) and, in
each case, shall pay to Agent the standard amount charged by Agent per day ($850
per day as of the Closing Date) for each day that an employee or agent of Agent
shall be engaged in an examination or review of any Obligor's books and records,
and (ii) appraisals of Inventory no more frequently than 1 per Loan Year, unless
a Default or Event of Default exists (in which event, there shall be no limit on
the number of appraisals for which Borrowers shall be obligated to reimburse
Agent and Lenders). The foregoing shall not be construed to limit Agent's or any
Lender's right to conduct audits and appraisals of the Collateral as provided in
Section 9.1.1.

           2.2.5.   General Provisions. All fees shall be fully earned by the
identified recipient thereof pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Agreement and the Fee Letter on the due date thereof (and, in the case of
Letters of Credit, upon each issuance, renewal or extension of such Letter of
Credit) and, except as otherwise set forth herein or required by Applicable Law,
shall not be subject to rebate, refund or proration. All fees provided for in
this Section 2.2 are and shall be deemed to be compensation for services and are
not, and shall not be deemed to be, interest or any other charge for the use,
forbearance or detention of money.

     2.3.  Computation of Interest and Fees. All fees and other charges
provided for in this Agreement that are calculated as a per annum percentage of
any amount and all interest shall be calculated daily and shall be computed on
the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days. For purposes of
computing interest and other charges hereunder, all Payment Items and other
forms of payment received by Agent shall be deemed applied by Agent on account
of the Obligations (subject to final payment of such items) on the Business Day
that Agent receives such items in immediately available funds in the Payment
Account, and Agent shall be deemed to have received such Payment Item on the
date specified in Section 4.7 hereof.

     2.4.  Reimbursement Obligations.

           2.4.1.   Borrowers shall reimburse Agent and, during any period that
an Event of Default exists, each Lender, for all legal, accounting, consulting
and other fees and expenses (subject, in the case of audit and appraisal fees
and expenses, to any applicable limits of Borrowers' reimbursement obligations
as described in Section 2.2.4) incurred by Agent or any Lender in connection
with (i) the negotiation and preparation of any of the Loan Documents, any
amendment or modification thereto, any waiver of any Default or Event of Default
thereunder, or any restructuring or forbearance with respect

                                      -11-

<PAGE>

thereto; (ii) the administration of the Loan Documents and the transactions
contemplated thereby, to the extent that such fees and expenses are expressly
provided for in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (iii) action
taken to perfect or maintain the perfection or priority of any of Agent's Liens
with respect to any of the Collateral; (iv) any inspection of or audits
conducted with respect to either Borrower's books and records or any of the
Collateral; (v) any effort to verify, protect, preserve, or restore any of the
Collateral or to collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of or realize
upon any of the Collateral; (vi) any litigation, contest, dispute, suit,
proceeding or action (whether instituted by or against Agent, any Lender, any
Obligor or any other Person) in any way arising out of or relating to any of the
Collateral (or the validity, perfection or priority of any of Agent's Liens
thereon), any of the Loan Documents or the validity, allowance or amount of any
of the Obligations; (vii) the protection or enforcement or any rights or
remedies of Agent or any Lender in any Insolvency Proceeding; and (viii) any
other action taken by Agent or any Lender to enforce any of the rights or
remedies of Agent or such Lender against any Obligor or any Receivable Debtor to
enforce collection of any of the Obligations or payments with respect to any of
the Collateral. All amounts chargeable to Borrowers under this Section 2.4 shall
constitute Obligations that are secured by all of the Collateral and shall be
payable on demand to Agent. Borrowers shall also reimburse Agent for expenses
incurred by Agent in its administration of any of the Collateral to the extent
and in the manner provided in Section 7 hereof or in any of the other Loan
Documents. The foregoing shall be in addition to, and shall not be construed to
limit, any other provision of any of the Loan Documents regarding the
reimbursement by Borrowers of costs, expenses or liabilities suffered or
incurred by Agent or any Lender.

           2.4.2.   If at any time Agent or (with the consent of Agent) any
Lender shall agree to indemnify any Person (including Bank) against losses or
damages that such Person may suffer or incur in its dealings or transactions
with Borrowers, or shall guarantee any liability or obligation of Borrowers to
such Person, or otherwise shall provide assurances of Borrowers' payment or
performance under any agreement with such Person, including indemnities,
guaranties or other assurances of payment or performance given by Agent or any
Lender with respect to Banking Relationship Debt and Letters of Credit, then the
Contingent Obligation of Agent or any Lender providing any such indemnity,
guaranty or other assurance of payment or performance, together with any payment
made or liability incurred by Agent or any Lender in connection therewith, shall
constitute Obligations that are secured by the Collateral and Borrowers shall
repay, on demand, any amount so paid or any liability incurred by Agent or any
Lender in connection with any such indemnity, guaranty or assurance, except that
repayment with respect to any LC Support shall be due on the Reimbursement Date
as provided in Section 1.3.1(iii). Nothing herein shall be construed to impose
upon Agent or any Lender any obligation to provide any such indemnity, guaranty
or assurance except to the extent provided in Section 1.3 hereof. The foregoing
agreement of Borrowers shall apply whether or not such indemnity, guaranty or
assurance is in writing or oral and regardless of either Borrower's knowledge of
the existence thereof, and shall be in addition to any of the provision of the
Loan Documents regarding reimbursement by Borrowers of costs, expenses or
liabilities suffered or incurred by Agent or any Lender.

           2.4.3.   For purposes of further clarity, it is agreed that
references to losses, damages, fees, costs or expenses in this Section 2.4 do
not include Taxes or amounts relating thereto.

     2.5.  Bank Charges. Borrowers shall pay to Agent, on demand, any and all
fees, costs or expenses which Agent or any Lender pays to a bank or other
similar institution (including any fees paid by Agent or any Lender to any
Participant) arising out of or in connection with (i) the forwarding to a
Borrower or any other Person on behalf of Borrower by Agent or any Lender of
proceeds of Loans made by Lenders to a Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and
(ii) the depositing for collection by Agent or

                                      -12-

<PAGE>

any Lender of any Payment Item received or delivered to Agent or any Lender on
account of the Obligations. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Agent may
charge such costs, fees and expenses to Borrowers based upon Agent's good faith
estimate of such costs, fees and expenses as they are incurred by Agent or any
Lender.

     2.6.  Illegality. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
elsewhere in this Agreement, if (i) any change in any law or regulation or in
the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the
administration thereof shall make it unlawful for a Lender to make or maintain a
LIBOR Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with
respect to a LIBOR Loan or (ii) at any time such Lender determines that the
making or continuance of any LIBOR Loan has become impracticable as a result of
a contingency occurring after the date hereof which adversely affects the London
interbank market or the position of such Lender in such market, then, after such
determination, such Lender shall give Agent and either Borrower notice thereof
and may thereafter (1) declare that LIBOR Loans will not thereafter be made by
such Lender, whereupon any request by a Borrower for a LIBOR Loan from such
Lender shall be deemed a request for a Base Rate Loan unless such Lender's
declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn (which declaration shall be
withdrawn promptly after the cessation of the circumstances described in clause
(i) or (ii) above); and (2) require that all outstanding LIBOR Loans made by
such Lender be converted to Base Rate Loans, under the circumstances of clause
(i) or (ii) of this Section 2.6 insofar as such Lender determines the
continuance of LIBOR Loans to be illegal or impracticable, as the case may be,
in which event all such LIBOR Loans of such Lender shall be converted
automatically to Base Rate Loans as of the date of either Borrower's receipt of
the aforesaid notice from such Lender.

     2.7.  Increased Costs. If, by reason of (a) the introduction after the
date hereof of or any change (including any change by way of imposition or
increase of Statutory Reserves or other reserve requirements) in or in the
interpretation of any law or regulation, or (b) the compliance with any
guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority or
quasi-Governmental Authority exercising control over banks or financial
institutions generally (whether or not having the force of law):

                    (i)    any Lender shall be subject after the date hereof to
     any Indemnified Tax, duty or other charge with respect to any LIBOR Loan or
     its obligation to make LIBOR Loans, or a change shall result in the basis
     of taxation of payment to any Lender of the principal of or interest on its
     LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Loans (except for changes in
     the rate of Tax on the overall net income or gross receipts of such Lender
     imposed by the jurisdiction in which such Lender's principal executive
     office is located or Excluded Taxes); or

                    (ii)   any reserve (including any imposed by the Board of
     Governors), special deposits or similar requirement against assets of,
     deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender
     shall be imposed or deemed applicable or any other condition affecting its
     LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Loans shall be imposed on such
     Lender or the London interbank market;

and as a result thereof there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender
of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining LIBOR Loans (except to the
extent already included in the determination of the applicable Adjusted LIBOR
Rate for LIBOR Loans), or there shall be a reduction in the amount received or
receivable by such Lender, then such Lender shall, promptly after determining
the existence or amount of any such increased costs for which such Lender seeks
payment hereunder, give either Borrower notice thereof and Borrowers shall from
time to time, upon written notice from and demand by

                                      -13-

<PAGE>

such Lender (with a copy of such notice and demand to Agent), pay to Agent for
the account of such Lender, within 5 Business Days after the date specified in
such notice and demand, an additional amount (without duplication of Section
4.9) sufficient to indemnify such Lender against such increased costs. A
certificate as to the amount of such increased costs, submitted to Borrowers by
such Lender, shall set forth the basis for, and calculation of, such increased
cost in reasonable detail and shall be final, conclusive and binding for all
purposes, absent manifest error.

     If any Lender shall advise Agent at any time that, because of the
circumstances described hereinabove in this Section 2.7 or any other
circumstances arising after the date of this Agreement affecting such Lender or
the London interbank market or such Lender's or Bank's position in such market,
the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, as determined by Agent, will not adequately and fairly
reflect the cost to such Lender of funding LIBOR Loans, then, and in any such
event:

                    (i)    Agent shall forthwith give notice (by telephone
     confirmed in writing) to Borrowers and Lenders of such event;

                    (ii)   Borrowers' right to request LIBOR Loans from such
     Lender and such Lender's obligation to make LIBOR Loans shall be
     immediately suspended and Borrowers' right to continue a LIBOR Loan as such
     beyond the then applicable Interest Period shall also be suspended, until
     each condition giving rise to such suspension no longer exists; and

                    (iii)  such Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan as part of
     the requested Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, which Base Rate Loan shall, for all
     purposes, be considered part of such Borrowing.

         For purposes of this Section 2.7, all  references  to a Lender shall be
deemed to include any bank holding company or bank parent of such Lender.

     2.8.  Capital Adequacy. If any Lender determines that after the date
hereof (a) the adoption of any Applicable Law regarding capital requirements for
banks or bank holding companies or the subsidiaries thereof, (b) any change in
the interpretation or administration of any such Applicable Law by any
Governmental Authority, central bank, or comparable agency charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or (c) compliance by such Lender or
its holding company with any request or directive of any such Governmental
Authority, central bank or comparable agency regarding capital adequacy (whether
or not having the force of law), has the effect of reducing the return on such
Lender's capital to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved
(taking into consideration such Lender's and its holding company's policies with
respect to capital adequacy immediately before such adoption, change or
compliance and assuming that such Lender's capital was fully utilized prior to
such adoption, change or compliance) but for such adoption, change or compliance
as a consequence of such Lender's commitment to make the Loans pursuant hereto
by any amount deemed by such Lender to be material:

                    (i)    Agent shall promptly, after its receipt of a
     certificate from such Lender setting forth such Lender's determination of
     such occurrence, give notice thereof to Borrowers and Lenders; and

                    (ii)   Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the account of such
     Lender, as an additional fee from time to time, on demand, such amount as
     such Lender certifies to be the amount reasonably calculated to compensate
     such Lender for such reduction.

                                      -14-

<PAGE>

     A certificate of such Lender claiming entitlement to compensation as set
forth above shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Such
certificate will set forth the nature of the occurrence giving rise to such
compensation, the additional amount or amounts to be paid to such Lender
(including the basis for such Lender's determination of such amount), and the
method by which such amounts were determined. In determining such amount, such
Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution method. For purposes of
this Section 2.8 all references to a Lender shall be deemed to include any bank
holding company or bank parent of such Lender.

     2.9.  Mitigation. Each Lender agrees that, with reasonable promptness after
such Lender becomes aware that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under
Section 2.6, 2.7 or 2.8, or is or has become subject to U.S. or United Kingdom
withholding taxes payable by either Borrower in respect of its Loans, it will,
to the extent not inconsistent with any internal policy of such Lender or any
applicable legal or regulatory restriction, (i) use all reasonable efforts to
make, fund or maintain the Commitment of such Lender or the Loans of such Lender
through another lending office of such Lender, or (ii) take such other
reasonable measures, if, as a result thereof, the circumstances which would
relieve Borrowers from their obligations to pay such additional amounts (or
reduce the amount of such payments), or such withholding taxes would be reduced,
and if the making, funding or maintaining of such Commitment or Loans through
such other lending office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case
may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Commitment or Loans or the
interests of such Lender.

     2.10. Funding Losses. If for any reason (other than due to a default by a
Lender or as a result of a Lender's refusal to honor a LIBOR Loan request due to
circumstances described in Section 2.6 or 2.7 hereof) a Borrowing of, or
conversion to or continuation of, LIBOR Loans does not occur on the date
specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/
Continuation (whether or not withdrawn), or if any repayment (including any
conversions pursuant to Section 2.1.2 hereof) of any of its LIBOR Loans occurs
on a date that is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, or
if for any reason Borrowers default in its obligation to repay LIBOR Loans when
required by the terms of this Agreement, then Borrowers shall be jointly and
severally obligated to pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of the affected
Lenders, within 10 days after Agent's or an affected Lender's demand therefor,
an amount (if a positive number) computed pursuant to the following formula:

                                     (R - T) x P x D
                               L =   ---------------
                                           360

                               where

                               L =   amount payable

                               R =   interest rate applicable to the LIBOR
                                     Loan unborrowed or prepaid

                               T =   effective interest rate per annum at which
                                     any readily marketable bond or other
                                     obligations of the United States, selected
                                     at Agent's sole discretion, maturing on or
                                     nearest the last day of the then applicable
                                     or requested Interest Period for such LIBOR
                                     Loan and in approximately the same amount
                                     as such LIBOR Loan, can be purchased by
                                     Agent on the day of such payment of
                                     principal or failure to borrow

                               P =   the amount of principal paid or the
                                     amount of the LIBOR Loan requested or to
                                     have been continued or converted

                               D =   the number of days remaining in the
                                     Interest Period as of the date

                                      -15-

<PAGE>

                                     of such prepayment or the number of days in
                                     the requested Interest Period

Borrowers shall pay such amount upon presentation by Agent of a statement
setting forth the amount and Agent's calculation thereof pursuant hereto, which
statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error. For purposes
of this Section 2.10, all references to a Lender shall be deemed to include any
bank holding company or bank parent of such Lender.

     2.11. Maximum Interest. Regardless of any provision contained in any of the
Loan Documents, in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all
amounts that are contracted for, charged or received by Agent and Lenders
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and
that are deemed interest under Applicable Law exceed the highest rate
permissible under any Applicable Law. No agreements, conditions, provisions or
stipulations contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or
the exercise by Agent of the right to accelerate the payment or the maturity of
all or any portion of the Obligations, or the exercise of any option whatsoever
contained in any of the Loan Documents, or the prepayment by Borrowers of any of
the Obligations, or the occurrence of any contingency whatsoever, shall entitle
Agent or any Lender to charge or receive in any event, interest or any charges,
amounts, premiums or fees deemed interest by Applicable Law (such interest,
charges, amounts, premiums and fees referred to herein collectively as
"Interest") in excess of the Maximum Rate and in no event shall Borrowers be
obligated to pay Interest exceeding such Maximum Rate, and all agreements,
conditions or stipulations, if any, which may in any event or contingency
whatsoever operate to bind, obligate or compel Borrowers to pay Interest
exceeding the Maximum Rate shall be without binding force or effect, at law or
in equity, to the extent only of the excess of Interest over such Maximum Rate.
If any Interest is charged or received in excess of the Maximum Rate ("Excess"),
each Borrower acknowledges and stipulates that any such charge or receipt shall
be the result of an accident and bona fide error, and such Excess, to the extent
received, shall be applied first to reduce the principal Obligations and the
balance, if any, returned to Borrowers, it being the intent of the parties
hereto not to enter into a usurious or otherwise illegal relationship. The right
to accelerate the maturity of any of the Obligations does not include the right
to accelerate any Interest that has not otherwise accrued on the date of such
acceleration, and Agent and Lenders do not intend to collect any unearned
Interest in the event of any such acceleration. Each Borrower recognizes that,
with fluctuations in the rates of interest set forth in Section 2.1.1 of this
Agreement or in the Notes, and the Maximum Rate, such an unintentional result
could inadvertently occur. All monies paid to Agent or any Lender hereunder or
under any of the other Loan Documents, whether at maturity or by prepayment,
shall be subject to any rebate of unearned Interest as and to the extent
required by Applicable Law. By the execution of this Agreement, each Borrower
covenants that (i) the credit or return of any Excess shall constitute the
acceptance by such Borrower of such Excess, and (ii) such Borrower shall not
seek or pursue any other remedy, legal or equitable, against Agent or any
Lender, based in whole or in part upon contracting for, charging or receiving
any Interest in excess of the Maximum Rate. For the purpose of determining
whether or not any Excess has been contracted for, charged or received by Agent
or any Lender, all Interest at any time contracted for, charged or received from
Borrowers in connection with any of the Loan Documents shall, to the extent
permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread in
equal parts throughout the full term of the Obligations. Borrowers, Agent and
Lenders shall, to the maximum extent permitted under Applicable Law, (i)
characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than
as Interest and (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof. The
provisions of this Section 2.11 shall be deemed to be incorporated into every
Loan Document (whether or not any provision of this Section is referred to
therein). All such Loan Documents and communications relating to any Interest
owed by Borrowers and all figures set forth

                                      -16-

<PAGE>

therein shall, for the sole purpose of computing the extent of Obligations, be
automatically recomputed by Borrowers, and by any court considering the same, to
give effect to the adjustments or credits required by this Section 2.11.

SECTION 3. LOAN ADMINISTRATION

     3.1.  Manner of Borrowing and Funding Revolver Loans. Borrowings under the
Commitments established pursuant to Section 1.1 hereof shall be made and funded
as follows:

           3.1.1.   Notice of Borrowing.

                    (i)    Whenever Borrowers desire to make a Borrowing under
     Section 1.1 of this Agreement (other than a Borrowing resulting from a
     conversion or continuation pursuant to Section 2.1.2), Borrowers shall give
     Agent prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in
     writing) of such Borrowing request (a "Notice of Borrowing"), which shall
     be in the form of Exhibit D annexed hereto and signed by an authorized
     officer of Borrower Agent. Such Notice of Borrowing shall be given by
     Borrowers no later than 11:00 a.m. at the office of Agent designated by
     Agent from time to time (a) on the Business Day of the requested funding
     date of such Borrowing, in the case of Base Rate Loans, and (b) at least 3
     Business Days prior to the requested funding date of such Borrowing, in the
     case of LIBOR Loans. Notices received after 11:00 a.m. shall be deemed
     received on the next Business Day. The Revolver Loans made by each Lender
     on the Closing Date shall be in excess of $250,000 and shall be made as
     Base Rate Loans and thereafter may be made or continued as or converted
     into Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans. Each Notice of Borrowing (or
     telephonic notice thereof) shall be irrevocable and shall specify (a) the
     principal amount of the Borrowing, (b) the date of Borrowing (which shall
     be a Business Day), (c) whether the Borrowing is to consist of Base Rate
     Loans or LIBOR Loans, (d) in the case of LIBOR Loans, the duration of the
     Interest Period to be applicable thereto, and (e) the account of Borrowers
     to which the proceeds of such Borrowing are to be disbursed. Borrowers may
     not request any LIBOR Loans if a Default or Event of Default exists.

                    (ii)   Unless payment is otherwise timely made by Borrowers,
     the becoming due of any amount required to be paid with respect to any of
     the Obligations (whether as principal, accrued interest, fees or other
     charges, including the repayment of any LC Outstandings and any amounts
     owed to any Affiliate of Agent, including Bank) shall be deemed irrevocably
     to be a request (without any requirement for the submission of a Notice of
     Borrowing) for Revolver Loans on the due date of, and in an aggregate
     amount required to pay, such Obligations, and the proceeds of such Revolver
     Loans may be disbursed by way of direct payment of the relevant Obligation
     and shall bear interest as Base Rate Loans. Neither Agent nor any Lender
     shall have any obligation to Borrowers to honor any deemed request for a
     Revolver Loan on or after the Commitment Termination Date, when an
     Out-of-Formula Condition exists or would result therefrom, or when any
     applicable condition precedent set forth in Section 10 hereof is not
     satisfied, but may do so in the discretion of Agent (or at the direction of
     the Required Lenders) and without regard to the existence of, and without
     being deemed to have waived, any Default or Event of Default and regardless
     of whether such Revolver Loan is funded after the Commitment Termination
     Date.

                    (iii)  Upon Borrowers' establishment of a Controlled
     Disbursement Account with Bank in accordance with Section 10.5.3, the
     presentation for payment by Bank of any check or other item of payment
     drawn on the Controlled Disbursement Account at a time when there are

                                      -17-

<PAGE>

     insufficient funds in such account to cover such check shall be deemed
     irrevocably to be a request (without any requirement for the submission of
     a Notice of Borrowing) for Revolver Loans on the date of such presentation
     and in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the items presented for
     payment, and the proceeds of such Revolver Loans may be disbursed to the
     Controlled Disbursement Account and shall bear interest as Base Rate Loans.

                    (iv)   As an accommodation to Borrowers, Agent and Lenders
     may permit telephonic requests for Borrowings and electronic transmittal of
     instructions, authorizations, agreements or reports to Agent by Borrowers;
     provided, however, that Borrowers shall confirm each such telephonic
     request for a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans by delivery of the required Notice
     of Borrowing to Agent by facsimile transmission promptly, but in no event
     later than 5:00 p.m. on the same day. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall
     have any liability to Borrowers for any loss or damage suffered by
     Borrowers as a result of Agent's or any Lender's honoring of any requests,
     execution of any instructions, authorizations or agreements or reliance on
     any reports communicated to it telephonically or electronically and
     purporting to have been sent to Agent or Lenders by either Borrower and
     neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any duty to verify the origin of
     any such communication or the identity or authority of the Person sending
     it.

           3.1.2.   Fundings by Lenders. Subject to its receipt of notice from
Agent of a Notice of Borrowing as provided in Section 3.1.1(i) (except in the
case of a deemed request by a Borrower for a Revolver Loan as provided in
Sections 3.1.1(ii) or (iii) or 3.1.3(ii) hereof, in which event no Notice of
Borrowing need be submitted), each Lender shall timely honor its Revolver
Commitment by funding its Pro Rata share of each Borrowing of Revolver Loans
that is properly requested by such Borrower and that such Borrower is entitled
to receive under the Loan Agreement. Agent shall endeavor to notify Lenders of
each Notice of Borrowing (or deemed request for a Borrowing pursuant to Section
3.1.1(ii) or (iii) hereof), by 12:00 noon on the proposed funding date (in the
case of Base Rate Loans) or by 3:00 p.m. at least 2 Business Days before the
proposed funding date (in the case of LIBOR Loans). Each Lender shall deposit
with Agent an amount equal to its Pro Rata share of the Borrowing requested or
deemed requested by such Borrower at Agent's designated bank in immediately
available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date of funding of such
Borrowing, unless Agent's notice to Lenders is received after 12:00 noon on the
proposed funding date of a Base Rate Loan, in which event Lenders shall deposit
with Agent their respective Pro Rata shares of the requested Borrowing on or
before 11:00 a.m. on the next Business Day. Subject to its receipt of such
amounts from Lenders, Agent shall make the proceeds of the Revolver Loans
received by it available to a Borrower by disbursing such proceeds in accordance
with such Borrower's disbursement instructions set forth in the applicable
Notice of Borrowing. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability on
account of any delay by any bank or other depository institution in treating the
proceeds of any Revolver Loan as collected funds or any delay in receipt, or any
loss, of funds that constitute a Revolver Loan, the wire transfer of which was
initiated by Agent in accordance with wiring instructions provided to Agent.
Unless Agent shall have been notified in writing by a Lender prior to the
proposed time of funding that such Lender does not intend to deposit with Agent
an amount equal such Lender's Pro Rata share of the requested Borrowing (or
deemed request for a Borrowing pursuant to Section 3.1.1(ii) or (iii) hereof),
Agent may assume that such Lender has deposited or promptly will deposit its
share with Agent and Agent may in its discretion disburse a corresponding amount
to Borrower on the applicable funding date. If a Lender's Pro Rata share of such
Borrowing is not in fact deposited with Agent, then, if Agent has disbursed to a
Borrower an amount corresponding to such share, then such Lender agrees to pay,
and in addition Borrowers agree to repay, to Agent forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date
such amount is disbursed by Agent to or for the benefit of Borrowers until the
date such amount is paid or

                                      -18-

<PAGE>

repaid to Agent, (a) in the case of Borrowers, at the interest rate applicable
to such Borrowing and (b) in the case of such Lender, at the Federal Funds Rate.
If such Lender repays to Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid
shall constitute a Revolver Loan, and if both such Lender and Borrowers shall
have repaid such corresponding amount, Agent shall promptly return to Borrowers
such corresponding amount in same day funds. A notice from Agent submitted to
any Lender with respect to amounts owing under this Section 3.1.2 shall be
conclusive, absent manifest error.

           3.1.3.   Settlement and Settlement Loans.

                    (i)    In order to facilitate the administration of the
     Revolver Loans under this Agreement, Lenders agree (which agreement shall
     be solely between Lenders and Agent and shall not be for the benefit of or
     enforceable by Borrowers) that settlement among them with respect to the
     Revolver Loans may take place on a periodic basis on dates determined from
     time to time by Agent (each a "Settlement Date"), which may occur before or
     after the occurrence or during the continuance of a Default or Event of
     Default and whether or not all of the conditions set forth in Section 10 of
     this Agreement have been met. On each Settlement Date, payment shall be
     made by or to each Lender in the manner provided herein and in accordance
     with the Settlement Report delivered by Agent to Lenders with respect to
     such Settlement Date so that, as of each Settlement Date and after giving
     effect to the transaction to take place on such Settlement Date, each
     Lender shall hold its Pro Rata share of all Revolver Loans and
     participations in LC Outstandings. Agent shall request settlement with the
     Lenders on a basis not less frequently than once every 5 Business Days.

                    (ii)   Between Settlement Dates, Agent may request Fleet to
     advance, and Fleet may, but shall in no event be obligated to, advance to
     Borrowers out of Fleet's own funds the entire principal amount of any
     Borrowing of Revolver Loans that are Base Rate Loans requested or deemed
     requested pursuant to this Agreement (any such Revolver Loan funded
     exclusively by Fleet being referred to as a "Settlement Loan"). Each
     Settlement Loan shall constitute a Revolver Loan hereunder and shall be
     subject to all of the terms, conditions and security applicable to other
     Revolver Loans, except that all payments thereon shall be payable to Fleet
     solely for its own account. The obligation of Borrowers to repay such
     Settlement Loans to Fleet shall be evidenced by the records of Fleet and
     need not be evidenced by any settlement note. Agent shall not request Fleet
     to make any Settlement Loan if (A) Agent shall have received written notice
     from any Lender that one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set
     forth in Section 10 hereof will not be satisfied on the requested funding
     date for the applicable Borrowing or (B) the requested Borrowing would
     exceed the amount of Availability on the funding date or would cause the
     then outstanding principal balance of all Settlement Loans to exceed
     $5,000,000. Fleet shall not be required to determine whether the applicable
     conditions precedent set forth in Section 10 hereof have been satisfied or
     the requested Borrowing would exceed the amount of Availability on the
     funding date applicable thereto prior to making, in its sole discretion,
     any Settlement Loan. On each Settlement Date, or, if earlier, upon demand
     by Agent for payment thereof, the then outstanding Settlement Loans shall
     be immediately due and payable. As provided in Section 3.1.1(ii), Borrowers
     shall be deemed to have requested (without the necessity of submitting any
     Notice of Borrowing) Revolver Loans to be made on each Settlement Date in
     the amount of all outstanding Settlement Loans and to have Agent cause the
     proceeds of such Revolver Loans to be applied to the repayment of such
     Settlement Loans and interest accrued thereon. Agent shall notify the
     Lenders of the outstanding balance of Revolver Loans prior to 11:00 a.m. on
     each Settlement Date and each Lender (other than Fleet)

                                      -19-

<PAGE>

     shall deposit with Agent (without setoff, counterclaim or reduction of any
     kind) an amount equal to its Pro Rata share of the amount of Revolver Loans
     deemed requested in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on
     such Settlement Date. Each Lender's obligation to make such deposit with
     Agent shall be absolute and unconditional and without regard to whether any
     of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 10 hereof are satisfied,
     any Out-of-Formula Condition exists or the Commitment Termination Date has
     occurred. If, as the result of the commencement by or against Borrowers of
     any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, any Settlement Loan may not be
     repaid by the funding by Lenders of Revolver Loans, then each Lender (other
     than Fleet) shall be deemed to have purchased a participating interest in
     any unpaid Settlement Loan in an amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata
     share of such Settlement Loan and shall transfer to Fleet, in immediately
     available funds not later than the 2nd Business Day after Fleet's request
     therefor, the amount of such Lender's participation. The proceeds of
     Settlement Loans may be used solely for purposes for which Revolver Loans
     generally may be used in accordance with Section 1.1.3 hereof. If any
     amounts received by Fleet in respect of any Settlement Loans are later
     required to be returned or repaid by Fleet to Borrowers or any other
     Obligor or their respective representatives or successors-in-interest,
     whether by court order, settlement or otherwise, the other Lenders shall,
     upon demand by Fleet with notice to Agent, pay to Agent for the account of
     Fleet, an amount equal to each other Lender's Pro Rata share of all such
     amounts required to be returned by Fleet.

           3.1.4.   Disbursement Authorization. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably
authorizes Agent to disburse the proceeds of each Revolver Loan requested by
Borrowers, or deemed to be requested pursuant to Section 3.1.1 or Section
3.1.3(ii), as follows: (i) the proceeds of each Revolver Loan requested under
Section 3.1.1(i) shall be disbursed by Agent in accordance with the terms of the
written disbursement letter from Borrowers in the case of the initial Borrowing,
and, in the case of each subsequent Borrowing, by wire transfer to such bank
account as may be agreed upon by Borrowers and Agent from time to time or
elsewhere if pursuant to a written direction from Borrowers; and (ii) the
proceeds of each Revolver Loan requested under Section 3.1.1(ii) or Section
3.1.3(ii) shall be disbursed by Agent by way of direct payment of the relevant
interest or other Obligation. Any Loan proceeds received by either Borrower or
in payment of any of the Obligations shall be deemed to have been received by
both Borrowers.

     3.2.  Defaulting Lender. If any Lender shall, at any time, fail to make any
payment to Agent or Fleet that is required hereunder, Agent may, but shall not
be required to, retain payments that would otherwise be made to such defaulting
Lender hereunder and apply such payments to such defaulting Lender's defaulted
obligations hereunder, at such time, and in such order, as Agent may elect in
its sole discretion. With respect to the payment of any funds from Agent to a
Lender or from a Lender to Agent, the party failing to make the full payment
when due pursuant to the terms hereof shall, upon demand by the other party, pay
such amount together with interest on such amount at the Federal Funds Rate. The
failure of any Lender to fund its portion of any Revolver Loan or payment in
respect of an LC Obligation shall not relieve any other Lender of its
obligation, if any, to fund its portion of the Revolver Loan or payment in
respect of an LC Obligation on the date of Borrowing, but no Lender shall be
responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Revolver Loan or
payment in respect of an LC Obligation to be made by such Lender on the date of
any Borrowing. Solely as among the Lenders and solely for purposes of voting or
consenting to matters with respect to any of the Loan Documents, Collateral or
any Obligations and determining a defaulting Lender's Pro Rata share of payments
and proceeds of Collateral pending such defaulting Lender's cure of its defaults
hereunder, a defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to be a "Lender" and such
Lender's Commitment shall be deemed to be zero

                                      -20-

<PAGE>

(0). The provisions of this Section 3.2 shall be solely for the benefit of Agent
and Lenders and may not be enforced by Borrowers.

     3.3.  Special Provisions Governing LIBOR Loans.

           3.3.1.   Number of LIBOR Loans. In no event may the number of LIBOR
Loans outstanding at any time to Borrowers exceed 5.

           3.3.2.   Minimum Amounts. Each Borrowing of LIBOR Loans pursuant to
Section 3.1.1(i), and each continuation of or conversion to LIBOR Loans pursuant
to Section 2.1.2 hereof, shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral
multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount.

           3.3.3.   LIBOR Lending Office. Each Lender's initial LIBOR Lending
Office is set forth opposite its name on the signature pages hereof. Each Lender
shall have the right at any time and from time to time to designate a different
office of itself or of any Affiliate as such Lender's LIBOR Lending Office, and
to transfer any outstanding LIBOR Loans to such LIBOR Lending Office. No such
designation or transfer shall result in any liability on the part of Borrowers
for increased costs, Taxes or expenses resulting solely from such designation or
transfer. Increased costs for expenses resulting from a change in Applicable Law
occurring subsequent to any such designation or transfer shall be deemed not to
result solely from such designation or transfer.

           3.3.4.   Funding of LIBOR Loans. Each Lender may, if it so elects,
fulfill its obligation to make, continue or convert LIBOR Loans hereunder by
causing one of its foreign branches or Affiliates (or an international banking
facility created by such Lender) to make or maintain such LIBOR Loans; provided,
however, that such LIBOR Loans shall nonetheless be deemed to have been made and
to be held by such Lender, and the obligation of Borrowers to repay such LIBOR
Loans shall nevertheless be to such Lender for the account of such foreign
branch, Affiliate or international banking facility. The calculation of all
amounts payable to Lender under Section 2.7 and 2.9 shall be made as if each
Lender had actually funded or committed to fund its LIBOR Loan through the
purchase of an underlying deposit in an amount equal to the amount of such LIBOR
Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period for such
LIBOR Loans; provided, however, each Lender may fund its LIBOR Loans in any
manner it deems fit and the foregoing presumption shall be utilized only for the
calculation of amounts payable under Section 2.7 and Section 2.10.

     3.4.  Borrower Agent. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints DOIC and
DOIC agrees to act under this Agreement, as the agent and representative of
itself and each other Borrower for all purposes under this Agreement (in such
capacity, "Borrower Agent"), including requesting Borrowings, selecting whether
any Loan or portion thereof is to bear interest as a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR
Loan, and receiving account statements and other notices and communications to
Borrowers (or any of them) from Agent. Agent may rely, and shall be fully
protected in relying, on any Notice of Borrowing, Notice of
Conversion/Continuation, disbursement instructions, reports, information,
Borrowing Base Certificate or any other notice or communication made or given by
Borrower Agent, either in its own name, on behalf of either Borrower or on
behalf of "the Borrowers," and Agent shall have no obligation to make any
inquiry or request any confirmation from or on behalf of any other Borrower as
to the binding effect on such Borrower of any such Notice of Borrowing, Notice
of Conversion Continuation, instruction, report, information, Borrowing Base
Certificate or other notice or communication, nor shall the joint and several
character of Borrowers' liability for the Obligations be affected, provided that
the provisions of this Section 3.3 shall not be construed so as to preclude
either Borrower from directly requesting

                                      -21-

<PAGE>

Borrowings or taking other actions permitted to be taken by "a Borrower"
hereunder. Agent may maintain a single Loan Account in the name of "Danka Office
Imaging Company" hereunder, and each Borrower expressly agrees to such
arrangement and confirms that such arrangement shall have no effect on the joint
and several character of such Borrower's liability for the Obligations.

     3.5.  All Loans to Constitute One Obligation. The Loans shall constitute
one general obligation of Borrowers and (unless otherwise expressly provided in
any Security Document) shall be secured by Agent's Lien upon all of the
Collateral; provided, however, that Agent and each Lender shall be deemed to be
a creditor of each Borrower and the holder of a separate claim against each
Borrower to the extent of any Obligations jointly and severally owed by
Borrowers to Agent or such Lender.

SECTION 4. PAYMENTS

     4.1.  General Payment Provisions. All payments (including all prepayments)
of principal of and interest on the Loans, LC Outstandings and other Obligations
that are payable to Agent or any Lender shall be made to Agent in Dollars
without any offset or counterclaim, and, with respect to payments made other
than by application of balances in the Payment Account, in immediately available
funds not later than 1:00 p.m. on the due date (and payment made after such time
on the due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business
Day). All payments received by Agent shall be distributed by Agent in accordance
with Section 4.6 hereof, subject to the rights of offset that Agent may have as
to amounts otherwise to be remitted to a particular Lender by reason of amounts
due Agent from such Lender under any of the Loan Documents.

     4.2.  Repayment of Revolver Loans.

           4.2.1.   Payment of Principal. The outstanding principal amounts
with respect to the Revolver Loans shall be repaid as follows:

                    (i)    Any portion of the Revolver Loans consisting of the
     principal amount of Base Rate Loans shall be paid by Borrowers to Agent,
     for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders (or, in the case of Settlement Loans,
     for the sole benefit of Fleet) unless timely converted to a LIBOR Loan in
     accordance with this Agreement, immediately upon (a) each receipt by Agent,
     any Lender or Borrowers of any proceeds of any of the Receivables or
     Inventory, to the extent of such proceeds, (b) the Commitment Termination
     Date, and (c) in the case of Settlement Loans, the earlier of Fleet's
     demand for payment or on each Settlement Date with respect to all
     Settlement Loans outstanding on such date.

                    (ii)   Any portion of the Revolver Loans consisting of the
     principal amount of LIBOR Loans shall be paid by Borrowers to Agent, for
     the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders, unless converted to a Base Rate Loan or
     continued as a LIBOR Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
     immediately upon (a) the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto
     and (b) the Commitment Termination Date. In no event shall Borrowers be
     authorized to make a voluntary prepayment with respect to any Revolver Loan
     outstanding as a LIBOR Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period
     applicable thereto unless Borrowers pay to Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit
     of Lenders any amount due Agent and Lenders under Section 2.10 hereof as a
     consequence of such prepayment. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
     this Section 4.2.1(ii), if, on any date that Agent receives proceeds of any
     of the Receivables or Inventory, there are no Revolver Loans outstanding as
     Base Rate Loans, Agent may either hold

                                      -22-

<PAGE>

     such proceeds as cash security for the timely payment of the Obligations or
     apply such proceeds to any outstanding Revolver Loans bearing interest as
     LIBOR Loans as the same become due and payable (whether at the end of the
     applicable Interest Periods or on the Commitment Termination Date);
     provided that Agent shall remit to Borrower Agent all such cash proceeds
     and such cash security on any date that each of the Cash Turnover
     Conditions is satisfied.

                    (iii)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
     elsewhere in this Agreement, if an Out-of-Formula Condition shall exist,
     Borrowers shall, on the sooner to occur of Agent's demand or the first
     Business Day after either Borrower has obtained knowledge of such
     Out-of-Formula Condition, repay the outstanding Revolver Loans that are
     Base Rate Loans in an amount sufficient to reduce the aggregate unpaid
     principal amount of all Revolver Loans by an amount equal to such excess;
     and, if such payment of Base Rate Loans is not sufficient to eliminate the
     Out-of-Formula Condition, then Borrowers shall immediately deposit with
     Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders, for application to any
     outstanding Revolver Loans bearing interest as LIBOR Loans as the same
     become due and payable (whether at the end of the applicable Interest
     Periods or on the Commitment Termination Date) cash in an amount sufficient
     to eliminate such Out-of-Formula Condition, and Agent may (a) hold such
     deposit as cash security pending disbursement of same to Lenders for
     application to the Obligations, or (b) if an Event of Default exists,
     immediately apply such proceeds to the payment of the Obligations,
     including the Revolver Loans outstanding as LIBOR Loans (in which event
     Borrowers shall also pay to Agent for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders any
     and all amounts required by Section 2.10 to be paid by reason of the
     prepayment of a LIBOR Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period
     applicable thereto).

           4.2.2.   Payment of Interest. Interest accrued on the Revolver Loans
shall be due and payable on (i) the first day of each calendar quarter (for the
immediately preceding quarter), computed through the last day of the preceding
quarter, with respect to any Base Rate Loan and (ii) the last day of the
applicable Interest Period with respect to any LIBOR Loan, and, if any such
LIBOR Loan has an Interest Period of 6 months, on the third month anniversary
thereof. Accrued interest shall also be paid by Borrowers on the Commitment
Termination Date.

     4.3.  Reserved.

     4.4.  Payment of Other Obligations. The balance of the Obligations
requiring the payment of money, including the LC Outstandings and Extraordinary
Expenses incurred by Agent or any Lender, shall be repaid by Borrowers to Agent
for allocation among Agent and Lenders as provided in the Loan Documents, or, if
no date of payment is otherwise specified in the Loan Documents, on demand.

     4.5.  Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. None of Agent or any Lender shall be
under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Borrowers or any other
Obligor or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent
that Borrowers make a payment or payments to Agent or Lenders or any of such
Persons receives payment from the proceeds of any Collateral or exercises its
right of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such
enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared
to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a
trustee, receiver or any other Person, then to the extent of any loss by Agent
or Lenders, the Obligations or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied,
and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in
full force and effect as if such payment or proceeds had not been made or
received and any such enforcement or setoff had not occurred. The provisions of
the immediately

                                      -23-

<PAGE>

preceding sentence of this Section 4.5 shall survive any termination of the
Commitments and Full Payment of the Obligations.

     4.6.  Agent's Allocation of Payments and Collections.

           4.6.1.   Allocation of Payments. Subject to the proviso contained in
the last sentence of Section 4.2.1(ii), all monies to be applied to the
Obligations, whether such monies represent voluntary or mandatory payments or
prepayments by one or more Obligors or are received pursuant to demand for
payment or realized from any disposition of Collateral, shall be allocated among
Agent and such of the Lenders as are entitled thereto (and, with respect to
monies allocated to Lenders, on a Pro Rata basis unless otherwise provided
herein): (i) first, to Agent to pay principal and accrued interest on any
portion of the Revolver Loans which Agent may have advanced on behalf of any
Lender and for which Agent has not been reimbursed by such Lender or Borrowers;
(ii) second, to Fleet to pay the principal and accrued interest on any portion
of the Settlement Loans outstanding, to be shared with Lenders that have
acquired and paid for a participating interest in such Settlement Loans; (iii)
third, to the extent that Fleet has not received from any Participating Lender a
payment as required by Section 1.3.2, to Fleet to pay all such required payments
from each Participating Lender; (iv) fourth, to Agent to pay the amount of
Extraordinary Expenses and amounts owing to Agent pursuant to Section 14.10 that
have not been reimbursed to Agent by Borrowers, the other Obligors or Lenders,
together with interest accrued thereon at the rate applicable to Revolver Loans
that are Base Rate Loans; (v) fifth, to Agent to pay any Indemnified Amount that
has not been paid to Agent by Obligors or Lenders, together with interest
accrued thereon at the rate applicable to Revolver Loans that are Base Rate
Loans; (vi) sixth, to Agent to pay any fees due and payable to Agent; (vii)
seventh, to each Lender for any Indemnified Amount that such Lender has paid to
Agent and any Extraordinary Expenses that such Lender has reimbursed to Agent or
such Lender has incurred, to the extent that such Lender has not been reimbursed
by Obligors therefor; (viii) eighth, to Fleet to pay principal and interest with
respect to LC Outstandings (or to the extent any of the LC Outstandings are
contingent and an Event of Default then exists, deposited in the Cash Collateral
Account to provide security for the payment of the LC Outstandings), which
payment shall be shared with the Participating Lenders in accordance with
Section 1.3.2(iii); (ix) ninth, to Lenders in payment of the unpaid principal
and accrued interest in respect of the Loans (other than Settlement Loans) and
other Obligations (excluding Banking Relationship Debt) then outstanding; and
(x) tenth, to the payment of any unpaid Banking Relationship Debt. The
allocations set forth in this Section 4.6 are solely to determine the rights and
priorities of Agent and Lenders as among themselves and may be changed by Agent
and Lenders without notice to or the consent or approval of either Borrower or
any other Person.

           4.6.2.   Erroneous Allocation. Agent shall not be liable for any
allocation or distribution of payments made by it in good faith and, if any such
allocation or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in
error, the sole recourse of any Lender to which payment was due but not made
shall be to recover from the other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount
to which such other Lenders are determined to be entitled (and such other
Lenders hereby agree to return to such Lender any such erroneous payments
received by them).

     4.7.  Application of Payments and Collateral Proceeds. All Payment Items
received by Agent by 1:00 p.m. on any Business Day shall be deemed received on
that Business Day. All Payment Items received by Agent after 1:00 p.m. on any
Business Day shall be deemed received on the following Business Day. Each
Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all
payments and Collateral proceeds at any time or times hereafter received by
Agent or any Lender from or on behalf of Borrowers, and each Borrower does
hereby irrevocably agree that Agent shall have

                                      -24-

<PAGE>

the continuing exclusive right to apply and reapply any and all such payments
and Collateral proceeds received at any time or times hereafter by Agent or its
agent against the Obligations, in such manner as Agent may deem advisable,
notwithstanding any entry by Agent upon any of its books and records. If, as the
result of Agent's collection of proceeds of Receivables and other Collateral as
authorized by Section 7.2.6 a credit balance exists, such credit balance shall
not accrue interest in favor of Borrowers, but shall be available to Borrowers
on any date that each of the Cash Turnover Conditions is satisfied.

     4.8.  Loan Accounts; the Register; Account Stated.

           4.8.1.   Loan Accounts. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance
with its usual and customary practices an account or accounts (a "Loan Account")
evidencing the Debt of Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan owing
to such Lender from time to time, including the amount of principal and interest
payable to such Lender from time to time hereunder and under each Note payable
to such Lender. Any failure of a Lender to record in the Loan Account, or any
error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of
Borrowers hereunder (or under any Note) to pay any amount owing hereunder to
such Lender.

           4.8.2.   The Register. Agent shall maintain a register (the
"Register") which shall include a master account and a subsidiary account for
each Lender and in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the
date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of each Loan
comprising such Borrowing and any Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the
effective date and amount of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and
accepted by it and the parties thereto, (iii) the amount of any principal or
interest due and payable or to become due and payable from Borrowers to each
Lender hereunder or under the Notes, and (iv) the amount of any sum received by
Agent from Borrowers or any other Obligor and each Lender's share thereof. The
Register shall be available for inspection by Borrowers or any Lender at the
offices of Agent at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable
prior notice. Any failure of Agent to record in the Register, or any error in
doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrowers
hereunder (or under any Note) to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans
or provide the basis for any claim against Agent.

           4.8.3.   Entries Binding. The entries made in the Register and each
Loan Account shall constitute rebuttably presumptive evidence of the information
contained therein; provided, however, that if a copy of information contained in
the Register or any Loan Account is provided to any Person, or any Person
inspects the Register or any Loan Account, at any time or from time to time,
then the information contained in the Register or the Loan Account, as
applicable, shall be conclusive and binding on such Person for all purposes
absent manifest error, unless such Person notifies Agent in writing within 30
days after such Person's receipt of such copy or such Person's inspection of the
Register or Loan Account of its intention to dispute the information contained
therein.

     4.9.  Gross Up for Taxes.

           4.9.1.   Gross-Up. If Borrowers shall be required by Applicable Law
to withhold or deduct any Indemnified Taxes from or in respect of any sum
payable under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (a) the sum
payable to Agent or such Lender shall be increased as may be necessary so that,
after making all required withholding or deductions in respect of such
Indemnified Taxes, Agent or such Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount
equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deductions
been made, (b) Borrowers shall make such withholding or deductions, and (c)
Borrowers shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant
taxation authority or other authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

                                      -25-

<PAGE>

           4.9.2.   Tax Benefits and Withholding Tax Documentation. If Agent or
any Lender determines that it has received a refund, credit, or other reduction
of taxes in respect of any Indemnified Taxes paid by Borrowers, such Person
shall within 30 days from the date of actual receipt of such refund or the
filing of the tax return in which such credit or other reduction results in a
lower tax payment, pay over such refund or the amount of such tax reduction to
Borrowers (but only to the extent of Taxes paid by Borrowers), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses of such Person, and without interest (other than interest
paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, upon the request of
Agent or any Lender, Borrowers agree to repay any amount paid over to the
Borrowers pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence (plus penalties,
interest, or other charges) if such Person is required to repay such amount to
the taxing Governmental Authority, and such repayment obligation of Borrowers
shall survive Full Payment of the Obligations and the termination of any of the
Commitments.

     4.10. Withholding Tax Documentation. At least 5 Business Days prior to the
first date on which interest or fees are payable hereunder for the account of
any Foreign Lender, such Foreign Lender agrees that it will deliver to Borrowers
and Agent 2 duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or any subsequent replacement substitute or form therefor),
certifying in either case that such Lender is entitled to receive payment under
this Agreement and its Note without deduction or withholding of any United
States federal income taxes. Each Foreign Lender which so delivers a Form W-8BEN
or W-8ECI further undertakes to deliver to Borrowers and Agent 2 additional
copies of such form (or a successor form) on or before the date that such form
expires (currently, 3 successive calendar years for Form W-8BEN and one calendar
year for Form W-8ECI) or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event
requiring a change in the most form so delivered by it, and such amendments
thereto or extensions or renewals thereof as may be reasonably requested by
Borrowers or Agent, in each case, certifying that such Foreign Lender is
entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and its Notes without
deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless an
event (including any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to
the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required that renders all
such forms inapplicable or that would prevent such Foreign Lender from duly
completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender
advises Borrowers and Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without
any deduction or withholding of United States federal income taxes.

           At such times as Borrowers may reasonably request in writing, Agent
and each Lender agree to furnish to Borrowers duly executed and properly
completed forms, certificates and documents (including, without limitation, IRS
Forms W-8 and W-9, related certificates and any forms or certificates of a
similar nature for any other taxing jurisdiction) as may be reasonably necessary
or appropriate to claim an exemption from or reduction in any withholding or
other Tax to which such Person is legally entitled.

     4.11. Nature and Extent of Each Borrower's Liability.

           4.11.1.  Joint and Several Liability. Each Borrower shall be liable
for, on a joint and several basis, and hereby guarantees the timely payment by
all other Borrowers of, all of the Loans and other Obligations, regardless of
which Borrower actually may have received the proceeds of any Loans or other
extensions of credit hereunder or the amount of such Loans received or the
manner in which Agent or any Lender accounts for such Loans or other extensions
of credit on its books and records, it being acknowledged and agreed that Loans
to either Borrower inure to the mutual benefit of all Borrowers and that Agent
and Lenders are relying on the joint and several liability of Borrowers in
extending the Loans

                                      -26-

<PAGE>

and other financial accommodations hereunder. Each Borrower hereby
unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that upon default in the payment when due
(whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of any principal of,
or interest owed on, any of the Loans or other Obligations, such Borrower shall
forthwith pay the same, without notice or demand.

           4.11.2.  Unconditional Nature of Liability. Each Borrower's joint and
several liability hereunder with respect to, and guaranty of, the Loans and
other Obligations shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, be
unconditional irrespective of (i) the validity, enforceability, avoidance or
subordination of any of the Obligations or of any promissory note or other
document evidencing all or any part of the Obligations, (ii) the absence of any
attempt to collect any of the Obligations from any other Obligor or any
Collateral or other security therefor, or the absence of any other action to
enforce the same, (iii) the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance or granting
of any indulgence by Agent or any Lender with respect to any provision of any
instrument evidencing or securing the payment of any of the Obligations, or any
other agreement now or hereafter executed by any other Borrower and delivered to
Agent or any Lender, (iv) the failure by Agent to take any steps to perfect or
maintain the perfected status of its security interest in or Lien upon, or to
preserve its rights to, any of the Collateral or other security for the payment
or performance of any of the Obligations or Agent's release of any Collateral or
of its Liens upon any Collateral, (v) Agent's or Lenders' election, in any
proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, for the application of Section
1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, (vi) any borrowing or grant of a security
interest by any other Borrower, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the
Bankruptcy Code, (vii) the release or compromise, in whole or in part, of the
liability of any Obligor for the payment of any of the Obligations, (viii) any
amendment or modification of any of the Loan Documents or waiver of any Default
or Event of Default, (ix) any increase in the amount of the Obligations beyond
any limits imposed herein or in the amount of any interest, fees or other
charges payable in connection therewith, or any decrease in the same, (x) the
disallowance of all or any portion of Agent's or any Lender's claims against any
other Obligor for the repayment of any of the Obligations under Section 502 of
the Bankruptcy Code, or (xi) any other circumstance that might constitute a
legal or equitable discharge or defense of either Borrower. After the occurrence
and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Agent may proceed directly
and at once, without notice to any Obligor, against any or all of Obligors to
collect and recover all or any part of the Obligations, without first proceeding
against any other Obligor or against any Collateral or other security for the
payment or performance of any of the Obligations, and each Borrower waives any
provision that might otherwise require Agent under Applicable Law to pursue or
exhaust its remedies against any Collateral or Obligor before pursuing another
Obligor. Each Borrower consents and agrees that Agent shall be under no
obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Obligor or against or in
payment of any or all of the Obligations.

           4.11.3.  No Reduction in Liability for Obligations. No payment or
payments made by an Obligor or received or collected by Agent from a Borrower or
any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any setoff or
appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or
in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or
otherwise affect the liability of either Borrower under this Agreement, each of
whom shall remain jointly and severally liable for the payment and performance
of all Loans and other Obligations until the Obligations are paid in full and
this Agreement is terminated.

           4.11.4.  Contribution. Each Borrower is unconditionally obligated to
repay the Obligations as a joint and several obligor under this Agreement. If,
as of any date, the aggregate amount of payments made by a Borrower on account
of the Obligations and proceeds of such Borrower's Collateral that are applied
to the Obligations exceeds the aggregate amount of Loan proceeds actually

                                      -27-

<PAGE>

advanced to such Borrower (such excess amount being referred to as an
"Accommodation Payment"), then each of the other Borrowers (each such Borrower
being referred to as a "Contributing Borrower") shall be obligated to pay to
such Borrower (the "Paying Borrower") in an amount equal to (A) the product
derived by multiplying the sum of each Accommodation Payment of each Borrower by
the Allocable Percentage of the Borrower from whom contribution is sought less
(B) the amount, if any, of the then outstanding Accommodation Payment of such
Contributing Borrower (such last mentioned amount which is to be subtracted from
the aforesaid product to be increased by any amounts theretofore paid by such
Contributing Borrower by way of contribution hereunder, and to be decreased by
any amounts theretofore received by such Contributing Borrower by way of
contribution hereunder); provided, however, that a Paying Borrower's recovery of
contribution hereunder from the other Borrowers shall be limited to that amount
paid by the Paying Borrower in excess of its Allocable Percentage of all
Accommodation Payments then outstanding of all Borrowers. As used herein, the
term "Allocable Percentage" shall mean, on any date of determination thereof, a
fraction the denominator of which shall be equal to the number of Borrowers who
are parties to this Agreement on such date and the numerator of which shall be
1; provided, however, that such percentages shall be modified in the event that
contribution from a Borrower is not possible by reason of insolvency, bankruptcy
or otherwise by reducing such Borrower's Allocable Percentage equitably and by
adjusting the Allocable Percentage of the other Borrowers proportionately so
that the Allocable Percentages of all Borrowers at all times equals 100%.

           4.11.5.  Subordination. Each Borrower and PLC each hereby
subordinates any claims, including any right of payment, subrogation,
contribution and indemnity, that it may have from or against any other Obligor,
and any successor or assign of any other Obligor, including any trustee,
receiver or debtor-in-possession, howsoever arising, due or owing or whether
heretofore, now or hereafter existing, to the Full Payment of all of the
Obligations.

SECTION 5. TERM AND TERMINATION OF COMMITMENTS

     5.1.  Term of Commitments. Subject to each Lender's right to cease making
Loans and other extensions of credit to Borrowers when any Default or Event of
Default exists or upon termination of the Commitments as provided in Section 5.2
hereof, the Commitments shall be in effect for a period of 3 years from the date
hereof through the close of business on July 1, 2006 (the "Term").

     5.2.  Termination.

           5.2.1.   Termination by Agent. Agent may (and upon the direction of
the Required Lenders, shall) terminate the Commitments without notice at any
time that an Event of Default exists; provided, however, that the Commitments
shall automatically terminate as provided in Section 11.2 hereof.

           5.2.2.   Termination by Borrowers. Upon at least 5 Business Days
prior written notice to Agent (but not more than 15 Business Days prior written
notice), Borrowers may, at their option, terminate the Commitments; provided,
however, no such termination by Borrowers shall be effective until Full Payment
of the Obligations. Any notice of termination given by Borrowers shall be
irrevocable unless Agent otherwise agrees in writing. Borrowers may elect to
terminate the Commitments in their entirety only. No section of this Agreement,
Type of Loan available hereunder or Commitment may be terminated by Borrowers
singly.

           5.2.3.   Termination and Commitment Reduction Charges. On the
effective date of termination of the Commitments pursuant to Section 5.2.1 or
5.2.2, and on the effective date of each

                                      -28-

<PAGE>

reduction in the amount of the Commitments pursuant to Section 1.1.5, Borrowers
shall pay to Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders (in addition to, in the
case of a termination of the Commitments, the then outstanding principal,
accrued interest, fees and other charges owing under the terms of this Agreement
and any of the other Loan Documents), as liquidated damages for the loss of the
bargain and not as a penalty, (i) an amount equal to 1.0% of the Commitments if
termination occurs on or before July 1, 2004, and 0.5% of the Commitments if
termination occurs on or before January 1, 2006, and (ii) an amount equal to
1.0% of the amount by which the Commitments are reduced for each reduction that
occurs on or before July 1, 2004, and 0.5% of the amount by which the
Commitments are reduced for each reduction that occurs on or before January 1,
2006; provided that, in no event shall any termination or reduction charge be
payable if the effective date of termination or reduction of the Commitments
occurs after January 1, 2006. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, on any date
that an Event of Default does not exist, Agent exercises its discretion or
reasonable credit judgment to increase the amount of the Availability Reserve,
to decrease advance rates with respect to Eligible Receivables or Eligible
Inventory or to alter the eligibility criteria for Receivables or Inventory and,
if as a consequence of such exercise by Agent of such discretion or reasonable
credit judgment, either a Default or an Event of Default exists, then Borrowers
may terminate the Commitments, without charge, by giving to Agent a termination
notice. Such termination notice must be given no later than 60 days after the
exercise by Agent of such discretion or reasonable credit judgment and shall
specify an effective date of termination that is no later than 60 days after the
date on which Borrowers sent such termination notice, but such termination
notice shall be revocable at any time prior to the stated termination date in
such termination notice.

           5.2.4.   Effect of Termination. On the effective date of termination
of the Commitments by Agent or by Borrowers, all of the Obligations shall be
immediately due and payable and Lenders shall have no obligation to make any
Loans and Fleet shall have no obligation to procure any Letters of Credit. All
undertakings, agreements, covenants, warranties and representations of Borrowers
contained in the Loan Documents shall survive any such termination and Agent
shall retain its Liens in the Collateral and all of its rights and remedies
under the Loan Documents notwithstanding such termination until Full Payment of
the Obligations. Notwithstanding the Full Payment of the Obligations, Agent
shall not be required to terminate its security interests in any of the
Collateral unless, with respect to any loss or damage Agent may incur as a
result of the dishonor or return of any Payment Items applied to the
Obligations, Agent shall have received either (i) a written agreement, executed
by Borrowers and any Person reasonably deemed financially responsible by Agent
whose loans or other advances to Borrowers are used in whole or in part to
satisfy the Obligations, indemnifying Agent and Lenders from any such loss or
damage; or (ii) such monetary reserves and Liens on the Collateral for such
period of time as Agent, in its reasonable discretion, may deem necessary to
protect Agent from any such loss or damage. The provisions of Sections 2.4, 2.7,
2.8, 2.9, 4.5, 4.9 and this Section 5.2.4 and all obligations of Borrowers to
indemnify Agent or any Lender pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents, shall in all events survive any termination of the Commitments
and Full Payment of the Obligations.

SECTION 6. COLLATERAL

     6.1.  Grant of Security Interest. To secure the prompt payment and
performance of all of the Obligations, each Borrower hereby grants to Agent, for
the benefit of Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in and Lien upon
all of the following Property and interests in Property of such Borrower,
whether now owned or existing or hereafter created, acquired or arising and
wheresoever located:

                                      -29-

                    (v)    all Documents;

                    (vi)   all General Intangibles, including Payment
     Intangibles and Software;

                    (vii)  all Deposit Accounts;

                    (viii) all Investment Property (but excluding any portion
     thereof that constitutes Margin Stock unless otherwise expressly provided
     in any Security Documents);

                    (ix)   all Letter-of-Credit Rights;

                    (x)    all monies now or at any time or times hereafter in
     the possession or under the control of Agent or a Lender or a bailee or
     Affiliate of Agent or a Lender, including any Cash Collateral in the Cash
     Collateral Account;

                    (xi)  all accessions to, substitutions for and all
     replacements, products and cash and non-cash proceeds of (i) through (x)
     above, including proceeds of and unearned premiums with respect to
     insurance policies insuring any of the Collateral and claims against any
     Person for loss of, damage to or destruction of any of the Collateral; and

                    (xii)  all books and records (including customer lists,
     files, correspondence, tapes, computer programs, print-outs, and other
     computer materials and records) of such Borrower pertaining to any of (i)
     through (xi) above.

     6.2.  Lien on Deposit Accounts. As additional security for the payment and
performance of the Obligations, each Borrower hereby grants to Agent, for the
benefit of Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in and Lien upon all
of such Borrower's right, title and interest in and to each Deposit Account of
such Borrower and in and to any deposits or other sums at any time credited to
each such Deposit Account, including any sums in any blocked account or any
special lockbox account and in the accounts in which sums are deposited. In
connection with the foregoing, each Borrower hereby authorizes and directs each
such bank or other depository to pay or deliver to Agent upon its written demand
therefor made at any time when an Event of Default exists and without further
notice to such Borrower (such notice being hereby expressly waived), all
balances in each Deposit Account maintained by such Borrower with such
depository for application to the Obligations then outstanding, and the rights
given Agent in this Section shall be cumulative with and in addition to Agent's
other rights and remedies in regard to the foregoing Property as proceeds of
Collateral. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Agent as such Borrower's
attorney-in-fact to collect any and all such balances to the extent any such
payment is not made to Agent by such bank or other depository after demand
thereon is made by Agent pursuant hereto.

     6.3.  Other Collateral.

                                      -30-

referred to in Section 6.1 above, the Obligations shall also be secured by the
Cash Collateral to the extent provided herein.

           6.3.2.   Commercial Tort Claims. Each Borrower shall promptly notify
Agent in writing upon such Borrower's obtaining a Commercial Tort Claim after
the Closing Date against any Person that it intends to pursue and, upon Agent's
written request, promptly do all things necessary or appropriate to confer upon
Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in each such
Commercial Tort Claim as security for the Obligations and do such other acts or
things reasonably deemed appropriate by Agent.

           6.3.3.   Certain After-Acquired Collateral. Each Borrower shall
promptly notify Agent in writing upon such Borrower's obtaining any Collateral
after the Closing Date consisting of Deposit Accounts or consisting of
Investment Property, Letter-of-Credit Rights or Electronic Chattel Paper with an
individual value or face amount, as the case may be, of $250,000 or more and,
upon Agent's request, shall promptly execute such documents (in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent) and do such other acts or things
deemed appropriate by Agent to confer upon Agent control with respect to such
Collateral; promptly notify Agent in writing upon either Borrower's obtaining
any Collateral after the Closing Date consisting of Negotiable Documents or
Instruments (other than (i) Instruments consisting of checks to be deposited for
collection in the Ordinary Course of Business and (ii) other Instruments with an
individual value of $250,000 or less) and, upon Agent's request, shall promptly
execute such documents (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent)
and do such other acts or things deemed appropriate by Agent to deliver to it

to Collateral having a value in excess of $250,000 (other than Collateral that
is the subject of a Product Lease) that is in the possession of a third party
other than certificated securities and goods covered by a Document, Borrowers
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an acknowledgment from the
third party that is in possession of such Collateral that such third party holds
the Collateral for the benefit of Agent.

           6.3.4.   Other Collateral. The payment and performance of the
Obligations shall also be secured by the Property of each Obligor in which a
Lien is granted pursuant to any of the Security Documents, including the
Dankalux Pledge Documents and the Servicing Agreement.

     6.4.  No Assumption of Liability. The security interest granted pursuant
to this Agreement is granted as security only and shall not subject Agent or any
Lender to, or in any way alter or modify, any obligation of liability of
Borrowers with respect to or arising out of the Collateral.

     6.5.  Lien Perfection; Further Assurances. Promptly after Agent's request
therefor, Borrowers shall execute or cause to be executed and deliver to Agent
such instruments, assignments, or other documents as are necessary under the UCC
or other Applicable Law to perfect (or continue the perfection of) Agent's Lien
upon the Collateral and shall take such other action as may be reasonably
requested by Agent to give effect to or carry out the intent and purposes of
this Agreement. Unless prohibited by Applicable Law, each Borrower hereby
irrevocably authorizes Agent to execute and file in any jurisdiction any
financing statement or amendment thereto on such Borrower's behalf, including
financing statements with respect to the Collateral. Each Borrower also hereby
ratifies its authorization for Agent to have filed in any jurisdiction any like
financing statement or amendment thereto if filed prior to the date hereof.

license or permit to which such Borrower is a party to the extent that the grant
of a security interest or Lien therein to Agent is prohibited and such
prohibition is not waived or the consent of the other party to such contract,
lease, license or permit is not obtained, provided that the foregoing exclusion
shall not be construed (a) to apply if any such prohibition is ineffective or
unenforceable under Sections 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409 of the UCC or other
Applicable Law; or (b) so as to limit, impair or otherwise affect Agent's
continuing security interests in and Liens upon any rights or interests of a
Borrower in or to monies due or to become due under any such contract, lease,
license or permit (including any Accounts); or

           6.6.2.  Equity Interests in any Foreign Subsidiary.

SECTION 7. COLLATERAL ADMINISTRATION

     7.1.  General Provisions.

           7.1.1.   Location of Collateral. Except as provided in this Section
7.1.1, all tangible items of Collateral, other than In-Transit Inventory,
Inventory in transit from one location of a Domestic Obligor to another location
of a Domestic Obligor and Inventory that is the subject of a Product Lease,
shall at all times be kept by Borrowers at one or more of the business locations
of Borrowers set forth in Schedule 7.1.1 hereto and shall not be moved
therefrom, without the prior written approval of Agent, except that in the
absence of an Event of Default and acceleration of the maturity of the
Obligations in consequence thereof, Borrowers may (i) make sales or other
dispositions of any Collateral to the extent authorized by Section 9.2.10 hereof
and (ii) move Inventory or any record relating to any Collateral to a location
in the United States other than those shown on Schedule 7.1.1 hereto so long as
Borrowers shall give Agent written notice of any such new location at which
Inventory with an aggregate value in excess of $500,000 is maintained within 30
days of such Borrower's establishment of such location. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Borrowers shall not be permitted to
keep, store or otherwise maintain any Collateral consisting of Inventory having
a value in excess of $500,000 at any location (including any location described
in Schedule 7.1.1), unless (i) a Borrower is the owner of such location, (ii) a
Borrower leases such location (and, in the absence of a Lien Waiver from the
landlord, Agent shall be authorized to increase the Rent Reserve), (iii) the
Collateral consists of Inventory placed with United Parcel Service or an
affiliate of United Parcel Service ("UPS") at DOIC's warehouse location in
Indianapolis, Indiana (provided that if Agent has not received an acceptable
Lien Waiver from UPS within 30 days of the Closing Date, Agent shall be
authorized to establish reserves against the Borrowing Base deemed necessary by
Agent in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment), (iv) the Collateral
consists of Inventory placed with a warehouseman, bailee or processor (other
than UPS) and, if such Inventory has an aggregate value in excess of $500,000,
Agent has received from such warehouseman, bailee or processor an acceptable
Lien Waiver (and, in the absence of a Lien Waiver, Agent shall be authorized to
establish reserves against the Borrowing Base as are deemed necessary by Agent
in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment) and (v) leased Inventory
maintained at customer locations.

           7.1.2.   Insurance of Collateral; Condemnation Proceeds.

                    (i)    Each Borrower shall maintain and pay for insurance
     upon all Collateral, wherever located, covering casualty, hazard, public
     liability, theft, malicious mischief, and such other risks in such amounts
     and with such insurance companies as are reasonably satisfactory to Agent.
     Schedule 7.1.2 describes all insurance of Borrowers in effect on the date
     hereof.

                                      -32-

<PAGE>

     Borrowers shall deliver the originals or certified copies of such policies
     to Agent with lender's loss payable endorsements reasonably satisfactory to
     Agent naming Agent as sole loss payee, assignee or additional insured, as
     appropriate. Each policy of insurance or endorsement, unless otherwise
     agreed to in writing by Agent, shall contain a clause requiring the insurer
     to give not less than 30 days prior written notice to Agent in the event of
     cancellation of the policy for any reason whatsoever and a clause
     specifying that the interest of Agent shall not be impaired or invalidated
     by any act or neglect of either Borrower or the owner of the Property or by
     the occupation of the premises for purposes more hazardous than are
     permitted by said policy. If either Borrower fails to provide and pay for
     such insurance, Agent may, at its option, but shall not be required to,
     procure the same and charge Borrowers therefor. Each Borrower agrees to
     deliver to Agent, promptly after Agent's request therefor, true copies of
     all reports made in any reporting forms to insurance companies. For so long
     as no Event of Default exists, each Borrower shall have the right to
     settle, adjust and compromise any claim with respect to any insurance
     maintained by such Borrower provided that (i) all proceeds thereof with
     respect to any claim in excess of $250,000 shall be remitted to Agent in
     the manner specified in this Agreement and (ii) all proceeds thereof are
     applied in the manner specified in this Agreement, and Agent agrees
     promptly to provide any necessary endorsement to any checks or drafts
     issued in payment of any such claim. At any time that an Event of Default
     exists, only Agent shall be authorized to settle, adjust and compromise
     such claims, Agent shall have all rights and remedies with respect to such
     policies of insurance as are provided for in this Agreement and the other
     Loan Documents.

                    (ii)   Any proceeds of insurance referred to in this Section
     7.1.2 and any condemnation awards that are paid to Agent in connection with
     a condemnation of any of the Collateral shall be paid to Agent and applied
     first to the payment of the Revolver Loans and then to any other
     Obligations then due and payable; provided, however, that if an Event of
     Default exists on the date of Agent's receipt thereof, Agent may apply such
     proceeds to the Obligations in such order of application that is not
     inconsistent with Section 4.6.1.

           7.1.3.   Protection of Collateral. All expenses of protecting,
storing, warehousing, insuring, handling, maintaining and shipping any
Collateral, all Taxes imposed under any Applicable Law on any of the Collateral
or in respect of the sale thereof, and all other payments required to be made by
Agent to any Person to realize upon any Collateral shall be borne and paid by
Borrowers. Agent shall not be liable or responsible in any way for the
safekeeping of any of the Collateral or for any loss or damage thereto (except
for reasonable care in the custody thereof while any Collateral is in Agent's
actual possession) or for any diminution in the value thereof, or for any act or
default of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency, or other Person
whomsoever, but the same shall be at Borrowers' sole risk.

           7.1.4.   Defense of Title to Collateral. Each Borrower shall at all
times defend such Borrower's title to the Collateral and Agent's Liens therein
against all Persons and all claims and demands whatsoever other than Permitted
Liens.

                                      -33-

<PAGE>

     7.2.  Administration of Receivables.

           7.2.1.   Records and Schedules of Receivables. Each Borrower shall
keep accurate and complete records of its Receivables and all payments and
collections thereon and shall submit to Agent on such periodic basis as Agent
shall request a sales and collections report for the preceding period, in form
satisfactory to Agent. Each Borrower shall also provide to Agent on or before
the 15th day of each month, a detailed aging report of all of its Receivables
existing as of the last day of the preceding month, specifying the names,
addresses, face value, dates of invoices and due dates for each Receivable
Debtor obligated on an Receivable so listed ("Schedule of Receivables"), and,
upon Agent's request therefor, copies of proof of delivery and a copy of all
documents, including repayment histories and present status reports relating to
the Receivables so scheduled and such other matters and information relating to
the status of such then existing Receivables as Agent shall reasonably request.
In addition, if at any time after the delivery of a Schedule of Receivables the
sum of Eligible Receivables set forth in such Schedule of Receivables that cease
to be Eligible Receivables exceeds any new Eligible Receivables generated since
the date of such Schedule of Receivables by more than $4,000,000, then Borrowers
shall notify Agent of such occurrence promptly (and in any event within 2
Business Days) after either Borrower's having obtained knowledge of such
occurrence and the Borrowing Base shall thereupon and forthwith be adjusted to
reflect such occurrence. Upon Agent's request, each Borrower shall deliver to
Agent copies of invoices or invoice registers related to all of its Receivables.

           7.2.2.   Discounts, Disputes and Returns. If either Borrower grants
any discounts, allowances or credits that are not shown on the face of the
invoice for the Receivable involved, such Borrower shall report such discounts,
allowances or credits, as the case may be to Agent as part of the next required
Schedule of Receivables. If any amounts due and owing in excess of $200,000 are
in dispute between either Borrower and any Receivable Debtor which amounts were
not reported on the Schedule of Receivables most recently delivered to Agent as
disputed, or if any returns are made during the period since the date covered by
the Schedule of Receivables most recently delivered to Agent in excess of
$500,000 with respect to any Receivables owing from any Receivable Debtor, such
Borrower shall provide Agent with written notice thereof at the time of
submission of the next Schedule of Receivables, explaining in detail the reason
for the dispute or return, all claims related thereto and the amount in
controversy. At any time an Event of Default exists, Agent shall have the right
to settle or adjust all disputes and claims directly with the Receivable Debtor
and to compromise the amount or extend the time for payment of any Receivables
comprising a part of the Collateral upon such terms and conditions as Agent may
deem advisable, and to charge the deficiencies, costs and expenses thereof,
including attorneys' fees, to Borrowers.

           7.2.3.   Taxes. If a Receivable of either Borrower includes a charge
for any Taxes payable to any Governmental Authority, Agent is authorized, in its
sole discretion, to pay the amount thereof to the proper taxing authority for
the account of such Borrower and to charge Borrowers therefor; provided,
however, that neither Agent nor Lenders shall be liable for any Taxes that may
be due by Borrowers.

           7.2.4.   Receivable Verification. Whether or not a Default or an
Event of Default exists, Agent shall have the right at any time, in the name of
Agent, any designee of Agent or either Borrower to verify the validity, amount
or any other matter relating to any Receivables of such Borrower by mail,
telephone, telegraph or otherwise. Borrowers shall cooperate fully with Agent in
an effort to facilitate and promptly conclude any such verification process.

           7.2.5.   Maintenance of Dominion Account. Borrowers shall maintain a
Dominion Account pursuant to a lockbox or other arrangement acceptable to Agent
and with such bank as may be selected by Borrowers and be acceptable to Agent
(and, for purposes hereof, Bank of America,

                                      -34-

<PAGE>

N.A. shall be acceptable). Borrowers shall issue to each such lockbox bank an
irrevocable letter of instruction directing such bank to deposit all payments or
other remittances received in the lockbox (the "Lockbox") to the Dominion
Account and to transmit by daily wire all collected funds to the Payment
Account. Borrowers shall enter into agreements, in form satisfactory to Agent,
with each bank at which a Dominion Account is maintained by which such bank
shall transfer to the Payment Account all monies deposited to the Dominion
Account on each Business Day. All funds deposited in each Dominion Account shall
be subject to Agent's Lien and sole control. Borrowers shall obtain the
agreement (in favor of and in form and content satisfactory to Agent and
Lenders) by each bank at which a Dominion Account is maintained to waive or
subordinate in a manner satisfactory to Agent any offset rights against the
funds deposited into such Dominion Account, except offset rights in respect of
charges incurred in the administration of such Dominion Account and returned
items credited thereto. Neither Agent nor Lenders assume any responsibility to
Borrowers for such lockbox arrangement or Dominion Account, including any claim
of accord and satisfaction or release with respect to deposits accepted by any
bank thereunder.

           7.2.6.   Collection of Receivables and Proceeds of Collateral. To
expedite collection, each Borrower shall endeavor in the first instance to make
collection of such Borrower's Receivables (including, in the case of DOIC, all
Payment Items with respect to the Purchased Receivables) for Agent and Lenders.
All Payment Items received by an Obligor in respect of Receivables constituting
Collateral, together with the proceeds of any other Collateral, shall be held by
such Obligor as trustee of an express trust for Agent's benefit and such Obligor
shall promptly deposit same in kind in the Dominion Account. Agent retains the
right at all times that an Event of Default exists to notify Receivable Debtors
of either Borrower that Receivables have been assigned to Agent and to collect
such Receivables directly in Agent's own name and to charge to Borrowers the
collection costs and expenses incurred by Agent or Lenders, including reasonable
attorneys' fees. Agent shall remit to Borrower Agent all collected balances in
the Payment Account on any date that each of the Cash Turnover Conditions is
satisfied.

     7.3.  Administration of Inventory.

           7.3.1.   Records and Reports of Inventory. Each Borrower shall keep
accurate and complete records of its Inventory and shall furnish Agent and
Lenders inventory reports respecting such Inventory in form and detail
satisfactory to Agent and Lenders at such times as Agent and Lenders may
request, but so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, no more
frequently than once each week. Each Borrower shall, at its own expense, conduct
a physical inventory no less frequently than annually and periodic cycle counts
consistent with such Borrower's historical practices and shall provide to Agent
and Lenders a report based on each such physical inventory and cycle count
promptly after completion thereof, together with such supporting information as
Agent shall reasonably request. Agent may participate in and observe each
physical count or inventory, which participation shall be at Borrowers' expense
at any time that an Event of Default exists.

           7.3.2.   Returns of Inventory. No Borrower shall return any of its
Inventory to a supplier or vendor thereof, or any other Person, whether for
cash, credit against future purchases or then existing payables, or otherwise,
unless (i) such return is in the Ordinary Course of Business of such Borrower
and such Person or is otherwise required under the terms of an existing
agreement (as in effect on the date hereof) with a supplier pursuant to which
such supplier has agreed to repurchase such Inventory; (ii) no Event of Default
exists or would result therefrom; (iii) the return of such Inventory will not
result in an Out-of-Formula Condition (after giving effect to any
contemporaneous repayment of the Obligations); (iv) such Borrower promptly
notifies Agent thereof if the aggregate Value of all Inventory returned in any
month exceeds $500,000; and (v) any payments received by such Borrower in
connection with any such return are promptly turned over to Agent for
application to the Obligations.

                                      -35-

<PAGE>

           7.3.3.   Acquisitions of Inventory. No Borrower shall acquire or
accept any Inventory on consignment or approval and will not knowingly acquire
Inventory that is produced in the United States of America and not produced in
accordance with the FLSA.

     7.4.  Borrowing Base Certificates. On the Closing Date and on or before
the fifteenth day of each month after the Closing Date, Borrowers shall deliver
to Agent (and Agent shall, on request from a Lender, promptly deliver to such
Lender) a Borrowing Base Certificate prepared as of the close of business on the
last day of the immediately preceding month, and at such other times as Agent
may request. All calculations of Availability in connection with any Borrowing
Base Certificate shall originally be made by Borrowers and certified by a Senior
Officer to Agent, provided that Agent shall have the right to review and adjust,
in the exercise of its reasonable credit judgment, any such calculation (i) to
reflect its reasonable estimate of declines in value of any of the Collateral
described therein and (ii) to the extent that such calculation is not in
accordance with this Agreement or does not accurately reflect the amount of the
Availability Reserve. In no event shall the Borrowing Base be deemed to exceed
the amount of the Borrowing Base shown on the Borrowing Base Certificate last
received by Agent prior to such date, as such Borrowing Base Certificate may be
adjusted from time to time by Agent as herein authorized.

SECTION 8. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

     8.1.  General Representations and Warranties. To induce Agent and Lenders
to enter into this Agreement and to make available the Commitments, each
Borrower and PLC warrants and represents to Agent and Lenders that:

           8.1.1.   Organization and Qualification. Each Borrower, PLC and each
of PLC's other Subsidiaries is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing (but only to the extent applicable for any Foreign Obligor) under
the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization. Each Borrower, PLC and each of
PLC's other Subsidiaries is duly qualified and is authorized to do business and
is in good standing as a foreign corporation (i) with respect to the Domestic
Obligors on the Closing Date, in each state or jurisdiction listed on Schedule
8.1.1 hereto and (ii) with respect to PLC and its Subsidiaries, at all times in
all other states and jurisdictions in which the failure of such Borrower or any
of such Subsidiaries to be so qualified would have a Material Adverse Effect.

           8.1.2.   Power and Authority. Each Obligor is duly authorized and
empowered to enter into, execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and each of
the other Loan Documents to which it is a party. The execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents have been
duly authorized by all necessary action and do not and will not (i) require any
consent or approval of any of the holders of the Equity Interests of any Obligor
other than those obtained on or prior to the date hereof; (ii) contravene the
Organization Documents of any Obligor; (iii) violate, or cause either Borrower,
PLC or any of PLC's other Subsidiaries to be in default under, any provision of
any Applicable Law, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or
award in effect having applicability to any Obligor; (iv) result in a breach of
or constitute a default under any indenture or loan or credit agreement or any
other material agreement, lease or instrument to which any Obligor or any of its
Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or its Properties may be bound or
affected; or (v) result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien
(other than Permitted Liens) upon or with respect to any of the Properties now
owned or hereafter acquired by either Borrower, PLC or any of PLC's other
Subsidiaries.

           8.1.3.   Legally Enforceable Agreement. This Agreement is, and each
of the other Loan Documents when delivered under this Agreement will be, a
legal, valid and binding obligation of each Obligor signatories thereto
enforceable against them in accordance with the respective terms of such Loan

                                      -36-

<PAGE>

Documents, except, in each case, as the enforceability thereof may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws of general application affecting
the enforcement of creditors' rights and general equitable principles
(regardless of whether enforcement is being sought in equity or at law).

           8.1.4.   Capital Structure. As of the date hereof, Schedule 8.1.4
hereto states (i) the correct name of each Subsidiary of PLC and its
jurisdiction of organization, and (ii) the number of authorized and issued
Equity Interests (and treasury shares) of each Domestic Obligor. Each Borrower
has good title to all of the shares it purports to own of the Equity Interests
of each of its direct Subsidiaries, free and clear in each case of any Lien
other than Permitted Liens. All such Equity Interests have been duly issued and
are fully paid and, in the case of Domestic Obligors, are non-assessable. Since
the date of the financial statements referred to in Section 8.1.9 hereof,
neither Borrowers nor PLC have made, or obligated itself to make, any
Distribution not permitted hereunder. There are no outstanding options to
purchase, or any rights or warrants to subscribe for, or any commitments or
agreements to issue or sell, or any Equity Interests or obligations convertible
into, or any powers of attorney relating to, shares of the capital stock of any
Subsidiary of PLC. Except as set forth on Schedule 8.1.4 hereto, there are no
outstanding agreements or instruments binding upon the holders of any Equity
Interests of any non-wholly owned Subsidiary of PLC relating to the ownership of
its Equity Interests.

           8.1.5.   Corporate Names. During the 5-year period preceding the date
of this Agreement, no Domestic Obligor has been known as or used any corporate,
fictitious or trade name except those listed on Schedule 8.1.5 hereto. Except as
set forth on Schedule 8.1.5, as of the Closing Date, no Domestic Obligor has
been the surviving corporation of a merger or consolidation or acquired all or
substantially all of the assets of any Person.

           8.1.6.   Business Locations; Agent for Process. As of the date
hereof, the chief executive office of Borrowers, PLC and PLC's other
Subsidiaries and the other places of business of the Domestic Obligors are as
listed on Schedule 7.1.1 hereto. During the 5-year period preceding the date of
this Agreement, no Domestic Obligor has had a principal place of business or
agent for service of process other than as listed on Schedule 7.1.1. Except as
shown on Schedule 7.1.1 on the date hereof, no Inventory of any Domestic Obligor
is stored with a bailee, warehouseman or similar Person, nor is any such
Inventory consigned to any Person.

           8.1.7.   Title to Properties; Priority of Liens. Each Borrower, PLC
and each of PLC's other Subsidiaries has good title to and valid and subsisting
leasehold interests in, all of its real Property, and good title to all of its
personal Property, including all Property reflected in the financial statements
referred to in Section 8.1.9 or delivered pursuant to Section 9.1.3, except
where the absence of good title or a valid interest could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and each Borrower has good title to
all of its Collateral (except, in the case of DOIC, with respect to the
Purchased Receivables that are sold by it in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement), in each case free and clear of all Liens except Permitted Liens.
Except to the extent the same is being Properly Contested or is otherwise
permitted under this Agreement, each Borrower and PLC has paid or discharged,
and has caused each of PLC's other Subsidiaries to pay and discharge, all lawful
claims which, if unpaid, might become a Lien against any Properties of such
Borrower or any such Subsidiary that is not a Permitted Lien. Upon the filing of
the financing statements delivered on the Closing Date and the execution of
control agreements with respect to each Deposit Account and Securities Account
by the relevant bank or securities intermediary, as the case may be, the Liens
granted to Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the other Security Documents
will be duly perfected, first priority Liens, subject only to those Permitted
Liens that are expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement to have
priority over the Liens of Agent.

                                      -37-

<PAGE>

           8.1.8.   Receivables. Agent may rely, in determining which
Receivables are Eligible Receivables, on all statements and representations made
by Borrowers with respect to any Receivable. By the inclusion of any Receivables
in the calculation of the Receivables Formula Amount, with respect to each such
Receivable, each Borrower warrants that:

                    (i)    It is genuine and in all respects what it purports to
     be, and it is not evidenced by a judgment;

                    (ii)   It arises out of a completed, bona fide sale or lease
     and delivery of goods or rendition of services by a Borrower in the
     Ordinary Course of Business and substantially in accordance with the terms
     and conditions of all purchase orders, contracts or other documents
     relating thereto and forming a part of the contract between a Borrower and
     the Receivable Debtor;

                    (iii)  It is for a sum certain maturing as stated in the
     duplicate invoice covering such sale or rendition of services, a copy of
     which has been furnished or is available to Agent on request;

                    (iv)   Such Receivable, and Agent's security interest
     therein, is not, and will not (by voluntary act or omission of a Borrower)
     be in the future, subject to any offset, Lien, deduction, defense, dispute,
     counterclaim or any other adverse condition except for disputes resulting
     in returned goods and disputes reflected on the Borrowing Base Certificate
     most recently received by Agent, and each such Receivable is absolutely
     owing to a Borrower and is not contingent in any respect or for any reason;

                    (v)    The contract under which such Receivable arose does
     not condition or restrict a Borrower's right to assign to Agent the right
     to payment thereunder unless such Borrower has obtained the Receivable
     Debtor's consent to such collateral assignment or complied with any
     conditions to such assignment (or the UCC or other Applicable Law any such
     restrictions are ineffective to prevent the grant of a Lien upon such
     Receivable in favor of Agent);

                    (vi)   Such Borrower has not made any agreement with any
     Receivable Debtor thereunder for any extension, compromise, settlement or
     modification of any such Receivable or any deduction therefrom, except
     discounts or allowances which are granted by a Borrower in the Ordinary
     Course of Business and which are reflected in the calculation of the net
     amount of each respective invoice related thereto and are reflected in the
     Schedules of Receivables submitted to Agent pursuant to Section 7.2.1
     hereof;

                    (vii)  To the best of such Borrower's knowledge, there are
     no facts, events or occurrences which are reasonably likely to impair the
     validity or enforceability of such Receivable or reduce the amount payable
     thereunder from the face amount of the invoice and statements delivered to
     Agent with respect thereto;

                    (viii) Such Borrower does not have knowledge that the
     Receivable Debtor thereunder (1) did not have the capacity to contract at
     the time any contract or other document giving rise to the Receivable was
     executed and (2) is not Solvent; and

                    (ix)   Such Borrower does not have knowledge of any
     proceedings or actions that are threatened or pending against any
     Receivable Debtor thereunder and that are reasonably likely to result in
     any material adverse change in such Receivable Debtor's financial condition
     or the collectibility of such Receivable.

           8.1.9.   Financial Statements; Fiscal Year. The Consolidated balance
sheets of PLC and Borrowers and such other Persons described therein (including
the accounts of all Subsidiaries of Borrowers and PLC for the respective periods
during which a Subsidiary relationship existed) as of March 31, 2003, and the
related statements of income, changes in stockholder's equity, and changes in
financial position for the periods ended on such dates, have been prepared in
accordance with GAAP, and present fairly the financial positions of PLC and
Borrowers and such Persons at such dates and the results of Borrowers'
operations for such periods. Since March 31, 2003, there has been no change that
has had a Material Adverse Effect.

           8.1.10.  Full Disclosure. Neither this Agreement nor any other
written statement delivered in connection herewith contains any untrue statement
of a material fact or omits any material fact necessary to make the statements
contained herein or therein not materially misleading in light of the
circumstances in which they were made. There is no fact or circumstances in
existence on the date hereof which either a Borrower or PLC has failed to
disclose to Agent in writing that may reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

           8.1.11.  Solvent Financial Condition. Borrowers, PLC and their
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are now Solvent and, after giving effect to the
Loans to be made hereunder, the Letters of Credit to be issued in connection

into any agreement to assure payment, performance or completion of performance
of any undertaking or obligation of any Person.

           8.1.13.  Taxes. The FEIN of each of each Domestic Obligor is as shown
on Schedule 8.1.13 hereto. Except as set forth on Schedule 8.1.13 hereto, each
Borrower and PLC and each of its Domestic Subsidiaries has filed all federal and
state income tax returns and other material tax returns and reports it is
required by law to file and has paid, or made provision for the payment of, all
federal and state income taxes and all other material Taxes upon it, its income
and Properties as and when such Taxes are due and payable, except, in each case,
to the extent being Properly Contested or as otherwise permitted under Section
9.1.6. The provision for Taxes on the books of each Borrower, PLC and each of
PLC's other Subsidiaries, on a Consolidated basis, are adequate for all years
not closed by applicable statutes, and for its current Fiscal Year.

           8.1.14.  Brokers. Neither Agent nor any Lender will be liable for any
claims for brokerage commissions, finder's fees or investment banking fees in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents as a result of any action of any Obligor.

           8.1.15.  Intellectual Property. Each Borrower, PLC and each of PLC'S
other Subsidiaries each owns or has the lawful right to use all Intellectual
Property material to the conduct of its business; as of the date of this
Agreement, there is no objection to, or pending (or, to Borrower's knowledge,
threatened) Intellectual Property Claim with respect to, either a Borrower's or
PLC's or any of PLC'S other Subsidiaries' right to use any such Intellectual
Property and neither Borrower nor PLC is aware of any grounds for challenge or
objection thereto. All patents, trademarks, service marks, tradenames,
copyrights, licenses and other similar rights existing on the date of this
Agreement are listed on Schedule 8.1.15 hereto, to the extent they are
registered under the laws of the United States or are

                                      -39-

<PAGE>

otherwise material to the business of either Borrower or to PLC and its other
Subsidiaries' business, taken as a whole.

           8.1.16.  Governmental Approvals. Each Borrower, PLC and each of PLC's
other Subsidiaries has, and is in good standing with respect to, all
Governmental Approvals necessary to continue to conduct its business as
heretofore or proposed to be conducted by it and to own or lease and operate its
Properties as now owned or leased by it except where the failure to have such
Governmental Approvals could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

           8.1.17.  Compliance with Laws. Each Borrower, PLC and each of PLC's
other Subsidiaries has duly complied with, and its Properties, business
operations and leaseholds are in compliance in all material respects with, the
provisions of all Applicable Law, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (except to
the extent that any such noncompliance with Applicable Law could not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect).

           8.1.18.  Burdensome Contracts. No Obligor is a party or subject to
any contract, agreement, or charter or other corporate restriction, which has or
could be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Borrower nor
PLC nor any of PLC's other Subsidiaries is a party or subject to any Restrictive
Agreements, except as permitted in this Agreement, none of which prohibit the
execution or delivery of any of the Loan Documents by any Obligor or the
performance by any Obligor of its obligations under any of the Loan Documents to
which it is a party, in accordance with the terms of such Loan Documents.

           8.1.19.  Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 8.1.19 hereto,
there are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending or, to the
knowledge of either a Borrower or PLC, threatened on the date hereof against or
affecting either Borrower, PLC or any of PLC's other Subsidiaries, or the
business, operations, Properties, prospects, profits or condition of any such
Person, (i) which relate to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions
contemplated thereby or (ii) which could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of each Borrower and PLC, no Borrower
nor PLC nor any of PLC's other Subsidiaries is in default in any material
respect on the date hereof with respect to any order, writ, injunction, judgment
or decree of any court, Governmental Authority or arbitration board or tribunal.

           8.1.20.  No Defaults. No event has occurred and no condition exists
which would, upon or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or
either Borrower's or PLC's performance hereunder, constitute a Default or an
Event of Default. As of the Closing Date, no Borrower nor PLC nor any of PLC's
other Subsidiaries is in default, and no event has occurred and no condition
exists which constitutes or which with the passage of time or the giving of
notice or both would constitute a default, under any Material Contract or in the
payment of any Debt for Money Borrowed of a Borrower or a Subsidiary to any
Person.

           8.1.21.  Leases. Schedule 8.1.21 hereto is a complete listing of each
capitalized and operating lease under which either a Borrower, PLC or any of
PLC's other Subsidiaries is lessee on the date hereof and which constitutes a
Material Contract.

           8.1.22.  Pension Plans. Except as disclosed on Schedule 8.1.22
hereto, no Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has any Plan on the date hereof.
Each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is in substantial compliance with the
requirements of ERISA with respect to each Plan. No fact or situation that is
reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect exists in connection
with any Plan. No Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has any withdrawal
liability in connection with a Multi-employer Plan.

                                      -40-

<PAGE>

           8.1.23.  Trade Relations. There exists no actual or threatened
termination or cancellation of, or any materially adverse modification or change
in, the business relationship between either Borrower or PLC and any customer or
any group of customers or with any material supplier or group of suppliers which
is, in either case, reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

           8.1.24.  Labor Relations. Except as described on Schedule 8.1.24
hereto, no Borrower nor PLC nor any of the other Obligors is on the date hereof
a party to or bound by any collective bargaining agreement or management
agreement. On the date hereof, there are no material grievances, disputes or
controversies with any union or any other organization of a Borrower's or any
other Obligor's employees, or, to Borrowers' or PLC's knowledge, any threats of
strikes, work stoppages or any asserted pending demands for collective
bargaining by any union or organization.

           8.1.25.  Not a Regulated Entity. No Obligor is (i) an "investment
company" or a "person directly or indirectly controlled by or acting on behalf
of an investment company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of
1940; (ii) a "holding company," or a "subsidiary company" of a "holding
company," or an "affiliate" of a "holding company" or of a "subsidiary company"

Subsidiaries is engaged, principally or as one of its important activities, in
the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any
Margin Stock.

     8.2.  Reaffirmation of Representations and Warranties. Each representation
and warranty contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be
deemed to be reaffirmed by each Borrower on each day that Borrowers request or
are deemed to have requested an extension of credit hereunder, except for
changes in the nature of a Borrower's, PLC's or, if applicable, any of PLC's
other Subsidiaries' business or operations that may occur after the date hereof
in the Ordinary Course of Business so long as Agent has consented to such

SECTION 9. COVENANTS AND CONTINUING AGREEMENTS

     9.1.  Affirmative Covenants. For so long as there are any Commitments
outstanding and thereafter until Full Payment of the Obligations, Borrowers and

consented in writing, it shall and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to:

           9.1.1.   Visits and Inspections. Permit representatives of Agent,
from time to time, as often as may be reasonably requested, but only during

condition, business prospects and results of operations. Representatives of each
Lender shall be authorized to accompany Agent on each such visit and inspection
and to participate with Agent therein, but at their own expense, unless a

duty to make any such inspection and shall not incur any liability by reason of
its failure to conduct or delay in conducting any such inspection.

after a Borrower's or PLC's obtaining knowledge thereof, (i) of the commencement
of any litigation affecting any Obligor or any of its Properties, whether or not

Material Adverse Effect; (ii) of any material labor dispute to which any Obligor

(including ERISA, OSHA, FLSA, or any Environmental Laws) could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (ix) of any Environmental Release by
an Obligor or on any Property owned or occupied by an Obligor that could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (x) of the discharge

are made in accordance with local accounting practices and, on a consolidated
basis in accordance with GAAP, reflecting all its financial transactions; and

other material Taxes prior to the date on which such Taxes become delinquent or
penalties attach thereto, except and to the extent only that (i) such Taxes are

           9.1.7.   Compliance with Laws. Comply with all Applicable Law,

all laws, statutes, regulations and ordinances regarding the collection, payment
and deposit of Taxes, and obtain and keep in force any and all Governmental
Approvals necessary to the ownership of its Properties or to the conduct of its

the generality of the foregoing, (i) if any unlawful Environmental Release shall
occur at or on any of the Properties of either Borrower or any of their
Subsidiaries, Borrowers shall, or shall cause the applicable Subsidiary to, act
promptly and diligently to investigate and report to Agent and all appropriate
Governmental Authorities the extent of, and to make appropriate remedial action

Law, whether or not ordered or otherwise directed to do so by any Governmental
Authority, and (ii) Borrowers will not use any proceeds of the Loans directly or

           9.1.10.  Satisfaction of Receivables Sale Conditions. Cause each of

Agreement.

           9.1.11.  New Subsidiaries. If any Obligor creates or, with the prior
written consent of Agent and the Required Lenders acquires any direct Subsidiary
after the Closing Date, Borrowers shall cause such Subsidiary to execute and

delivered by the existing Guarantors on the Closing Date, and, if such
Subsidiary constitutes a Domestic Subsidiary, Borrowers shall cause such
Subsidiary to execute and deliver to Agent a security agreement in substantially
the same form as the security agreement delivered by the existing Domestic
Subsidiaries on the Closing Date.

     9.2.  Negative Covenants. For so long as there are any Commitments
outstanding and thereafter until Full Payment of the Obligations, each Borrower
and PLC each agrees that, unless Agent and the Required Lenders have otherwise
consented in writing, it shall not and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries
to:

           9.2.1.   Fundamental Changes. (i) Merge, reorganize, consolidate or
amalgamate with any Person, or liquidate, wind up its affairs or dissolve
itself, in each case whether in a single transaction or in a series of related
transactions, except that (a) any Foreign Subsidiary may merge, consolidate or
amalgamate with and into PLC or any other Foreign Subsidiary (provided that if
any Obligor is party to such transaction, an Obligor is the surviving entity);
(b) any Domestic Obligor may merge, consolidate or amalgamate with and into any
other Domestic Obligor (provided that if a Borrower is a party to such merger,
consolidation or amalgamation, the surviving entity thereof is such Borrower);
(c) the assets or stock of any Subsidiary of PLC (other than a Domestic Obligor)
may be purchased or otherwise acquired by PLC or any of its Subsidiaries (other
than a Domestic Obligor); and (d) any Subsidiary of PLC other than a Borrower
may liquidate, wind up or dissolve itself. Nothing in this Section 9.2.1 shall
prohibit a merger involving either Borrower, PLC or any other Subsidiary of PLC
if such merger is solely for the purpose of selecting an alternate jurisdiction
of incorporation and if Borrowers or PLC shall have given at least 15 days prior
notice thereof to Agent. Nothing herein shall authorize any merger,
consolidation or amalgamation or purchase of assets of stock if, after giving
effect thereto, any Property of an Obligor would be subject to a Lien that is
not a Permitted Lien; or

           (ii)   change a Domestic Obligor's name or conduct business under any
new fictitious name; or change a Domestic Obligor's FEIN unless, in each such
case, Borrowers shall have given at least 15 days prior notice to Agent and
shall have taken such action as Agent may reasonably request to maintain the
perfection and priority of any Liens of Agent that would otherwise be affected
thereby.

           9.2.2.   Loans. Make any loans or other advances of money to any
Person other than to an officer or employee of a Borrower, PLC or any other
Subsidiary of PLC for salary, travel, relocation and similar advances, advances
against commissions and other similar advances in the Ordinary Course of
Business and loans and advances not constituting a Restricted Investment or a
transfer that is prohibited by Section 9.2.7. Nothing herein shall be deemed to
override, modify or waive any requirement for Borrowers to comply at all times
with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

           9.2.3.   Permitted Debt. Create, incur, assume, guarantee or suffer
to exist any Debt for Money Borrowed, except:

                    (i)    the Obligations;

                    (ii)   the Existing Subordinated Notes and (subject to

     (other than Debt for Money Borrowed set forth in clauses (i) through (iii)
     above and other than Subordinated Debt permitted herein), but only to the
     extent that such Debt for Money Borrowed is outstanding on the date of this
     Agreement and is not to be satisfied on or about the Closing Date from the
     proceeds of the initial Loans;

                    (vii)  Debt for Money Borrowed that is not included in any
     of the preceding paragraphs of this Section 9.2.3, including Purchase Money
     Debt incurred after the date hereof to the extent that it is Permitted
     Purchase Money Debt, Permitted Contingent Obligations and Debt for Money
     Borrowed that is not secured by a Lien (unless such Lien is a Permitted
     Lien) and, provided that all Debt for Money Borrowed under this clause
     (vii) does not exceed at any time, in the aggregate, the sum of $25,000,000
     as to Borrowers, PLC and all of their Subsidiaries;

                    (viii) without duplication of any other clauses of this
     Section 9.2.3, guaranties of Debt for Money Borrowed of Borrowers, PLC or

Affiliates in the Ordinary Course of Business and pursuant to the reasonable
requirements of such Borrower's or PLC's or such Subsidiary's business and upon
fair and reasonable terms and are no less favorable to such Borrower, PLC or
such Subsidiary than such Borrower, PLC or such Subsidiary; and (vi)
transactions among and/or between Borrower Affiliates other than transactions
limited by Sections Section9.2.7 and Section9.2.10 hereof (which transactions
shall be governed by the terms of such Sections) would obtain in a comparable
arm's length transaction with a Person not an Affiliate or stockholder of such
Borrower, PLC or such Subsidiary. Nothing herein shall be deemed to override,
modify or waive any requirement for Borrowers or PLC to comply at all times with
the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

           9.2.5.   Limitation on Liens. Create or suffer to exist any Lien upon
any of its Property, income or profits, whether now owned or hereafter acquired,
except the following (collectively, "Permitted Liens"):

     and for so long as (x) payment in respect of any such Lien is not at the
     time required or the Debt secured by any such Liens is being Properly

                                      -46-

<PAGE>

     Contested, and (y) such Liens do not materially detract from the value of
     the Property of such Borrower, PLC or such Subsidiary and do not materially
     impair the use thereof in the operation of such Borrower's, PLC's or such
     Subsidiary's business;

                    (iv)   Purchase Money Liens securing Permitted Purchase
     Money Debt;

                    (v)    Liens securing Debt of a Subsidiary of PLC (other

     Liens in favor of Agent;

     to be made on the Closing Date;

                    (xi)   Liens of a Designated Supplier in Designated Supplier
     Products of such Designated Supplier or in the proceeds thereof, but only

     the extent provided therein; and

                    (xvi)  such other Liens as Agent and the Required Lenders in
     their sole discretion may hereafter approve in writing.

The foregoing negative pledge shall not apply to any Margin Stock to the extent
that the application of such negative pledge to such Margin Stock would require

any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of a Subsidiary of an Obligor to
make any Upstream Payment to such Obligor, except for encumbrances or

prejudice to the rights of Agent or any Lender to enforce its claim against any
or all Obligors):

            11.3.1.   All of the rights and remedies of a secured party under
the UCC or under other Applicable Law, and all other legal and equitable rights
to which Agent may be entitled under any of the Loan Documents, all of which
rights and remedies shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to any other
rights or remedies contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, and none of which shall be exclusive.

            11.3.2.   The right to collect all amounts at any time payable to a
Borrower from any Receivable Debtor with respect to Receivables forming a part
of the Collateral, including all Purchased Receivables, or from other Person at
any time indebted to such Borrower.

            11.3.3.   The right to take immediate possession of any of the
Collateral, and to (i) require Borrowers to assemble the Collateral, at
Borrowers' expense, and make it available to Agent at a place designated by
Agent which is reasonably convenient to both parties, and (ii) enter any
premises where any of the Collateral shall be located and to keep and store the
Collateral on said premises until sold (and if said premises be the Property of
a Borrower, then such Borrower agrees not to charge Agent for storage thereof).

            11.3.4.   The right to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any
Collateral in its then condition, or after any further manufacturing or
processing thereof, at public or private sale or sales, with such notice as may
be required by Applicable Law, in lots or in bulk, for cash or on credit, all as
Agent, in its sole discretion, may deem advisable. Each Borrower agrees that any
requirement of notice to either Borrower or any other Obligor of any proposed
public or private sale or other disposition of Collateral by Agent shall be
deemed reasonable notice thereof if given at least 10 days prior thereto, and
such sale may be at such locations as Agent may designate in said notice. Agent
shall have the right to conduct such sales on either Borrower's or any other
Obligor's premises, without charge therefor, and such sales may be adjourned
from time to time in accordance with Applicable Law. Agent shall have the right
to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the Collateral, or any part thereof, for
cash, credit or any combination thereof, and Agent may purchase all or any part
of the Collateral at public or, if permitted by law, private sale and, in lieu
of actual payment of such purchase price, may set off the amount of such price
against the Obligations. The proceeds realized from the sale or other
disposition of any Collateral may be applied, after allowing 2 Business Days for
collection, first to any Extraordinary Expenses incurred by Agent, second to
interest accrued with respect to any of the Obligations; and third, to the
principal

                                      -56-

<PAGE>

balance of the Obligations. If any deficiency shall arise, Obligors shall remain
jointly and severally liable to Agent and Lenders therefor.

            11.3.5.   The right to the appointment of a receiver, without notice
of any kind whatsoever, to take possession of all or any portion of the
Collateral and to exercise such rights and powers as the court appointing such
receiver shall confer upon such receiver.

            11.3.6.   The right to require Borrowers to deposit with Agent funds
equal to the LC Outstandings and, if Borrowers fail promptly to make such
deposit, Lenders may (and shall upon the direction of the Required Lenders)
advance such amount as a Revolver Loan (whether or not an Out-of-Formula
Condition exists or is created thereby). Any such deposit or advance shall be
held by Agent as a reserve to fund future payments on any LC Support. At such
time as each LC Support has been paid or terminated and all Letters of Credit
have been drawn upon or expired, any amounts remaining in such reserve shall be
applied against any outstanding Obligations, or, after Full Payment of all
Obligations, returned to Borrowers.

Agent is hereby granted an irrevocable, non-exclusive license or other right to
use, license or sub-license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other
compensation to any Obligor or any other Person) any or all of each Borrower's
Intellectual Property and all of each Borrower's computer hardware and software
trade secrets, brochures, customer lists, promotional and advertising materials,
labels, and packaging materials, and any Property of a similar nature, in
advertising for sale, marketing, selling and collecting and in completing the
manufacturing of any Collateral, and each Borrower's rights under all licenses
and all franchise agreements shall inure to Agent's benefit.

     11.4.  Setoff. In addition to any Liens granted under any of the Loan
Documents and any rights now or hereafter available under Applicable Law, Agent
and each Lender (and each of their respective Affiliates) is hereby authorized
by Borrowers at any time that an Event of Default exists, without notice to
Borrowers or any other Person (any such notice being hereby expressly waived),
to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits, general or special
(including Debt evidenced by certificates of deposit whether matured or
unmatured (but not including trust accounts)) and any other Debt at any time
held or owing by such Lender or any of their Affiliates to or for the credit or
the account of either Borrower against and on account of the Obligations of
Borrowers arising under the Loan Documents to Agent, such Lender or any of their
Affiliates, including all Loans and LC Outstandings and all claims of any nature
or description arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, irrespective
of whether or not (i) Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder,
(ii) Agent, at the request or with the consent of the Required Lenders, shall
have declared the principal of and interest on the Loans and other amounts due
hereunder to be due and payable as permitted by this Agreement and even though
such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or (iii) the Collateral for the
Obligations is adequate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of Agent and
Lenders agree with each other that it shall not, without the express consent of
the Required Lenders, and that it shall (to the extent that it is lawfully
entitled to do so) upon the request of the Required Lenders, exercise its setoff
rights hereunder against any accounts of either Borrower now or hereafter
maintained with Agent, such Lender or any Affiliate of any of them, but no
Borrower shall have any claim or cause of action against Agent or any Lender for
any setoff made without the consent of the Required Lenders and the validity of
any such setoff shall not be impaired by the absence of such consent. If any
party (or its Affiliate) exercises the right of setoff provided for hereunder,
such party shall be obligated to share any such setoff in the manner and to the
extent required by Section 12.5.

     11.5.  Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver.

                                      -57-

<PAGE>

            11.5.1.   All covenants, conditions, provisions, warranties,
guaranties, indemnities, and other undertakings of Borrowers contained in this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or in any document referred to herein or
contained in any agreement supplementary hereto or in any schedule or in any
Guaranty given to Agent or any Lender or contained in any other agreement
between Agent or any Lender and Borrowers, heretofore, concurrently, or
hereafter entered into, shall be deemed cumulative to and not in derogation or
substitution of any of the terms, covenants, conditions, or agreements of
Borrowers herein contained. The rights and remedies of Agent and Lenders under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and not
exclusive of any rights or remedies that Agent or any Lender would otherwise
have.

            11.5.2.   The failure or delay of Agent or any Lender to require
strict performance by Borrowers of any provision of any of the Loan Documents or
to exercise or enforce any rights, Liens, powers or remedies under any of the
Loan Documents or with respect to any Collateral shall not operate as a waiver
of such performance, Liens, rights, powers and remedies, but all such
requirements, Liens, rights, powers, and remedies shall continue in full force
and effect until all Loans and all other Obligations owing or to become owing
from Borrowers to Agent and Lenders shall have been fully satisfied. None of the
undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of Borrowers
contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and no Event of
Default by either Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents
shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by Agent or any Lender, unless
such suspension or waiver is by an instrument in writing specifying such
suspension or waiver and is signed by a duly authorized representative of Agent
or such Lender and directed to Borrowers.

            11.5.3.   If Agent or any Lender shall accept performance by a
Borrower, in whole or in part, of any obligation that a Borrower is required by
any of the Loan Documents to perform only when a Default or Event of Default
exists, or if Agent or any Lender shall exercise any right or remedy under any
of the Loan Documents that may not be exercised other than when a Default or
Event of Default exists, Agent's or Lender's acceptance of such performance by a
Borrower or Agent's or Lender's exercise of any such right or remedy shall not
operate to waive any such Event of Default or to preclude the exercise by Agent
or any Lender of any other right or remedy, unless otherwise expressly agreed in
writing by Agent or such Lender, as the case may be.

SECTION 12. AGENT

     12.1.  Appointment, Authority and Duties of Agent.

            12.1.1.   Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and designates
Fleet as Agent to act as herein specified. Agent may, and each Lender by its
acceptance of a Note shall be deemed irrevocably to have authorized Agent to,
enter into all Loan Documents to which Agent is or is intended to be a party and
all amendments hereto and all Security Documents at any time executed by either
Borrower, for its benefit and the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders and, except as
otherwise provided in this Section 12, to exercise such rights and powers under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to
Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such other rights and
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Lender agrees that any action
taken by Agent or the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by Agent or the Required
Lenders of any of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such
other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and
binding upon all Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to (a) act as the
disbursing and collecting agent for Lenders with respect to all payments and
collections arising in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents; (b) execute and deliver as Agent each Loan Document and accept
delivery of each such agreement delivered by any or all

                                      -58-

<PAGE>

Borrowers or any other Obligor; (c) act as collateral agent for Lenders for
purposes of the perfection of all security interests and Liens created by this
Agreement or the Security Documents with respect to all material items of the
Collateral and, subject to the direction of the Required Lenders, for all other
purposes stated therein, provided that Agent hereby appoints, authorizes and
directs each Lender to act as a collateral sub-agent for Agent and the other
Lenders for purposes of the perfection of all security interests and Liens with
respect to a Borrower's Deposit Accounts maintained with, and all cash and Cash
Equivalents held by, such Lender; (d) subject to the direction of the Required
Lenders, manage, supervise or otherwise deal with the Collateral; and (e) except
as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms of this Agreement and
subject to the direction of the Required Lenders, exercise all remedies given to
Agent with respect to any of the Collateral under the Loan Documents relating
thereto, Applicable Law or otherwise. The duties of Agent shall be ministerial
and administrative in nature, and Agent shall not have by reason of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document a fiduciary relationship with any Lender
(or any Lender's participants). Unless and until its authority to do so is
revoked in writing by Required Lenders, Agent alone shall be authorized to
determine whether any Receivables or Inventory constitute Eligible Receivables
or Eligible Inventory (basing such determination in each case upon the meanings
given to such terms in Appendix A), or whether to impose or release any reserve,
and to exercise its own credit judgment in connection therewith, which
determinations and judgments, if exercised in good faith, shall exonerate Agent
from any liability to Lenders or any other Person for any errors in judgment.

            12.1.2.   Agent (which term, as used in this sentence, shall
include reference to Agent's officers, directors, employees, attorneys, agents
and Affiliates and to the officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents
of Agent's Affiliates) shall not: (a) have any duties or responsibilities except
those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or (b)
be required to take, initiate or conduct any litigation, foreclosure or
collection proceedings hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents except
to the extent directed to do so by the Required Lenders during the continuance
of any Event of Default. The conferral upon Agent of any right hereunder shall
not imply a duty on Agent's part to exercise any such right unless instructed to
do so by the Required Lenders in accordance with this Agreement.

            12.1.3.   Agent may perform any of its duties by or through its
agents and employees and may employ one or more Agent Professionals and shall
not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such Agent
Professionals selected by it with reasonable care. Borrowers shall promptly (and
in any event, on demand) reimburse Agent for all reasonable expenses (including
all Extraordinary Expenses) incurred by Agent pursuant to any of the provisions
hereof or of any of the other Loan Documents or in the execution of any of
Agent's duties hereby or thereby created or in the exercise of any right or
power herein or therein imposed or conferred upon it or Lenders (excluding,
however, general overhead expenses), and each Lender agrees promptly to pay to
Agent, on demand, such Lender's Pro Rata share of any such reimbursement for
expenses (including Extraordinary Expenses) that is not timely made by Borrowers
to Agent.

            12.1.4.   The rights, remedies, powers and privileges conferred
upon Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents may be exercised by
Agent without the necessity of the joinder of any other parties unless otherwise
required by Applicable Law. If Agent shall request instructions from the
Required Lenders with respect to any act or action (including the failure to
act) in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, Agent
shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and
until Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders; and
Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.
Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action
whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent acting or refraining from acting
hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents pursuant to or in accordance with
the instructions of the Required Lenders except for Agent's own gross negligence
or willful misconduct in connection with any action taken by it. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this

                                      -59-

<PAGE>

Agreement, Agent shall not be required to take any action that is in its opinion
contrary to Applicable Law or the terms of any of the Loan Documents or that
would in its reasonable opinion subject it or any of its officers, employees or
directors to personal liability; provided, however, that if Agent shall fail or
refuse to take action that is not contrary to Applicable Law or to any of the
terms of any of the Loan Documents even if such action in Agent's opinion would
subject it to potential liability, the Required Lenders may remove Agent and
appoint a successor Agent in the same manner and with the same effects as is
provided in this Agreement with respect to Agent's resignation.

            12.1.5.   Agent shall promptly, upon receipt thereof, forward to
each Lender (i) copies of any significant written notices, reports, certificates
and other information received by Agent from any Obligor (but only if and to the
extent such Obligor is not required by the terms of the Loan Documents to supply
such information directly to Lenders) and (ii) copies of the results of any
field audits by Agent with respect to Borrowers. Agent shall have no liability
to any Lender for any errors in or omissions from any field audit or other
examination of Borrowers or the Collateral, unless such error or omission was
the direct result of Agent's willful misconduct.

     12.2.  Agreements Regarding Collateral and Examination Reports.

            12.2.1.   Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option
and in its discretion, to release any Lien upon any Collateral (i) upon the
termination of the Commitments and payment or satisfaction of all of the
Obligations, (ii) sold or disposed of in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement if Borrowers certify to Agent that the disposition is made in
compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and Agent may rely conclusively on
any such certificate, without further inquiry), or (iii) if approved or ratified
by the Required Lenders. Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of the
Lenders to assure that any of the Collateral exists or is owned by a Borrower or
is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered, or that Agent's Liens
have been properly, sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or
enforced or entitled to any particular priority or to exercise any duty of care
with respect to any of the Collateral.

            12.2.2.   Agent shall furnish each Lender, promptly after the same
becomes available, a copy of each field audit or examination report (each a
"Report" and collectively, "Reports") prepared by or on behalf of Agent. Each
Lender agrees that neither Fleet nor Agent makes any representation or warranty
as to the accuracy or completeness of any Report and shall not be liable for any
information contained in or omitted from any such Report; agrees that the
Reports are not intended to be comprehensive audits or examinations, that Fleet
or Agent or any other Person performing any audit or examination will inspect
only specific information regarding Borrowers or the Collateral and will rely
significantly upon Borrowers' books and records as well as upon representations
of Borrowers' officers and employees; agrees to keep all Reports confidential
and strictly for its internal use and not to distribute the Reports to any
Person (except to its Participants, attorneys, accountants and other Persons
with whom such Lender has a confidential relationship) or use any Report in any
other manner; and, without limiting the generality of any other indemnification
contained herein, agrees to hold Agent and any other Person preparing a Report
harmless from any action that the indemnifying Lender may take or conclusion the
indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report in connection with any
Loans or other credit accommodations that the indemnifying Lender has made or
may make to Borrowers, or the indemnifying Lender's participation in, or its
purchase of, a loan or loans of Borrowers, and to pay and protect, and
indemnify, defend and hold Agent and each other such Person preparing a Report
harmless from and against all claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs,
expenses and other amounts (including attorneys' fees incurred by Agent and any
such other Person preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any
third parties who might obtain all or any part of any Report through the
indemnifying Lender.

                                      -60-

<PAGE>

     12.3.  Reliance By Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be
fully protected in so relying, upon any certification, notice or other
communication (including any thereof by telephone, telex, telegram, telecopier
message or cable) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been
signed, sent or made by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon
advice and statements of Agent Professionals selected by Agent. As to any
matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting or refraining
from acting hereunder and thereunder in accordance with the instructions of the
Required Lenders, and such instructions of the Required Lenders and any action
taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon Lenders.

     12.4.  Action Upon Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of
the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless it has received
written notice from a Lender or any or all Borrowers specifying the occurrence
and nature of such Default or Event of Default. If Agent shall receive such a
notice of a Default or an Event of Default or shall otherwise acquire actual
knowledge of any Default or Event of Default, Agent shall promptly notify
Lenders in writing and Agent shall take such action and assert such rights under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or shall refrain from taking such
action and asserting such rights, as the Required Lenders shall direct from time
to time. If any Lender shall receive a notice of a Default or an Event of
Default or shall otherwise acquire actual knowledge of any Default or Event of
Default, such Lender shall promptly notify Agent and the other Lenders in
writing. As provided in Section 12.3, Agent shall not be subject to any
liability by reason of acting or refraining to act pursuant to any request of
the Required Lenders except for its own willful misconduct or gross negligence
in connection with any action taken by it. Before directing Agent to take or
refrain from taking any action or asserting any rights or remedies under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents on account of any Event of Default, the
Required Lenders shall consult with and seek the advice of (but without having
to obtain the consent of) each other Lender, and promptly after directing Agent
to take or refrain from taking any such action or asserting any such rights, the
Required Lenders will so advise each other Lender of the action taken or
refrained from being taken and, upon request of any Lender, will supply
information concerning actions taken or not taken. In no event shall the
Required Lenders, without the prior written consent of each Lender, direct Agent
to accelerate and demand payment of the Loans held by one Lender without
accelerating and demanding payment of all other Loans or to terminate the
Commitments of one or more Lenders without terminating the Commitments of all
Lenders. Each Lender agrees that, except as otherwise provided in any of the
Loan Documents or with the written consent of the Required Lenders, it will not
take any legal action or institute any action or proceeding against any Obligor
with respect to any of the Obligations or Collateral or accelerate or otherwise
enforce its portion of the Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, none of Lenders may exercise any right that it might otherwise have
under Applicable Law to credit bid at foreclosure sales, UCC sales or other
similar sales or dispositions of any of the Collateral except as authorized by
the Required Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Section 12.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement, each Lender shall be authorized to
take such action to preserve or enforce its rights against any Obligor where a
deadline or limitation period is otherwise applicable and would, absent the
taken of specified action, bar the enforcement of Obligations held by such
Lender against such Obligor, including the filing of proofs of claim in any
Insolvency Proceeding.

     12.5.  Ratable Sharing. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or reduction
(including any amounts received as adequate protection of a bank account deposit
treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code) of any Obligation of
Borrowers hereunder (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any
right of set-off or otherwise) in excess of its Pro Rata share of payments or
reductions on account of such Obligations obtained by all of the Lenders, such
Lender shall forthwith (i) notify the other Lenders and Agent of such receipt
and (ii) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the affected
Obligations as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the
excess payment or reduction, net of costs incurred in connection therewith, on a
Pro Rata basis, provided that if all or any

                                      -61-

<PAGE>

portion of such excess payment or reduction is thereafter recovered from such
purchasing Lender or additional costs are incurred, the purchase shall be
rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery or such
additional costs, but without interest. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so
purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 12.5
may, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, exercise all of its
rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrowers
in the amount of such participation.

     12.6.  Indemnification of Agent Indemnitees.

            12.6.1.   Each Lender agrees to indemnify and defend the Agent
Indemnitees (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrowers under this Agreement, but
without limiting the indemnification obligation of Borrowers under this
Agreement), on a Pro Rata basis, and to hold each of the Agent Indemnitees
harmless from and against, any and all Indemnified Claims which may be imposed
on, incurred by or asserted against any of the Agent Indemnitees in any way
related to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents
or any other document contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including the costs and expenses
which Borrowers are obligated to pay under Section 14.2 hereof or amounts Agent
may be called upon to pay in connection with any lockbox or Dominion Account
arrangement contemplated hereby or under any indemnity, guaranty or other
assurance of payment or performance given by Agent with respect to Cash
Management Agreements, Hedging Agreements and Letters of Credit) or the
enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other
documents, provided that no Lender shall be liable to an Agent Indemnitee for
any of the foregoing to the extent that they result solely from the willful
misconduct or gross negligence of such Agent Indemnitee.

            12.6.2.   Without limiting the generality of the foregoing
provisions of this Section 12.6, if Agent should be sued by any receiver,
trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession or other Person on account of any
alleged preference or fraudulent transfer received or alleged to have been
received from either Borrower or any other Obligor as the result of any
transaction under the Loan Documents, then in such event any monies paid by
Agent in settlement or satisfaction of such suit, together with all
Extraordinary Expenses incurred by Agent in the defense of same, shall be
promptly reimbursed to Agent by Lenders to the extent of each Lender's Pro Rata
share.

            12.6.3.   Without limiting the generality of the foregoing
provisions of this Section 12.6, if at any time (whether prior to or after the
Commitment Termination Date) any action or proceeding shall be brought against
any of the Agent Indemnitees by an Obligor or by any other Person claiming by,
through or under an Obligor, to recover damages for any act taken or omitted by
Agent under any of the Loan Documents or in the performance of any rights,
powers or remedies of Agent against any Obligor, any Receivable Debtor, the
Collateral or with respect to any Loans, or to obtain any other relief of any
kind on account of any transaction involving any Agent Indemnitees under or in
relation to any of the Loan Documents, each Lender agrees to indemnify, defend
and hold the Agent Indemnitees harmless with respect thereto and to pay to the
Agent Indemnitees such Lender's Pro Rata share of such amount as any of the
Agent Indemnitees shall be required to pay by reason of a judgment, decree, or
other order entered in such action or proceeding or by reason of any compromise
or settlement agreed to by the Agent Indemnitees, including all interest and
costs assessed against any of the Agent Indemnitees in defending or compromising
such action, together with attorneys' fees and other legal expenses paid or
incurred by the Agent Indemnitees in connection therewith; provided, however,
that no Lender shall be liable to any Agent Indemnitee for any of the foregoing
to the extent that they arise solely from the willful misconduct or gross
negligence of such Agent Indemnitee. In Agent's discretion, Agent may also
reserve for or satisfy any such judgment, decree or order from proceeds of
Collateral prior to any distributions therefrom to or for the account of
Lenders.

                                      -62-

<PAGE>

     12.7.  Limitation on Responsibilities of Agent. Agent shall in all cases be
fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder unless it shall have
received further assurances to its satisfaction from Lenders of their
indemnification obligations under Section 12.6 hereof against any and all
Indemnified Claims which may be incurred by Agent by reason of taking or
continuing to take any such action. Agent shall not be liable to Lenders (or any
Lender's participants) for any action taken or omitted to be taken under or in
connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents except as a result of
actual gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Agent. Agent does
not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or breach
by any Obligor or any Lender of its obligations under this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents. Agent does not make to Lenders, and no Lender makes to
Agent or the other Lenders, any express or implied warranty, representation or
guarantee with respect to the Loans, the Collateral, the Loan Documents or any
Obligor. Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, attorneys
or agents shall be responsible to Lenders, and no Lender nor any of its agents,
attorneys or employees shall be responsible to Agent or the other Lenders, for:
(i) any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties
contained in any of the Loan Documents or in any certificate or other document
furnished pursuant to the terms hereof; (ii) the execution, validity,
genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents; (iii)
the validity, genuineness, enforceability, collectibility, value, sufficiency or
existence of any Collateral, or the perfection or priority of any Lien therein;
or (iv) the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations,
business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Obligor or any Receivable
Debtor. Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, attorneys
or agents shall have any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or inquire into
the existence of any Default or Event of Default, the observance or performance
by any Obligor of any of the duties or agreements of such Obligor under any of
the Loan Documents or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in
any of the Loan Documents. Agent may consult with and employ legal counsel,
accountants and other experts and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be
fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice
given by such experts.

     12.8.  Successor Agent and Co-Agents.

            12.8.1.   Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor
Agent as provided below, Agent may resign at any time by giving at least 30 days
written notice thereof to each Lender and Borrowers. Upon receipt of any notice
of such resignation, the Required Lenders, after prior consultation with (but
without having to obtain consent of) each Lender, shall have the right to
appoint a successor Agent which shall be (i) a Lender organized under the laws
of the United States or of any State thereof, (ii) a United States based
affiliate of a Lender, or (iii) a commercial bank that is organized under the
laws of the United States or of any State thereof and has a combined capital
surplus of at least $200,000,000 and, provided no Default or Event of Default
then exists, is reasonably acceptable to Borrowers (and for purposes hereof, any
successor to Fleet shall be deemed acceptable to Borrowers). Upon the acceptance
by a successor Agent of an appointment to serve as an Agent hereunder, such
successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent without further act,
deed or conveyance, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties
and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder as
Agent, the provisions of this Section 12 (including the provisions of Section
12.6) 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 Agent. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any successor by merger or
acquisition of the stock or assets of Fleet shall continue to be Agent hereunder
without further act on the part of the parties hereto unless such successor
shall resign in accordance with the provisions hereof.

            12.8.2.   It is the purpose of this Agreement that there shall be
no violation of any Applicable Law denying or restricting the right of financial
institutions to transact business as agent or otherwise in any jurisdiction. It
is recognized that, in case of litigation under any of the Loan Documents,

                                      -63-

or in case Agent deems that by reason of present or future laws of any
jurisdiction Agent might be prohibited from exercising any of the powers, rights
or remedies granted to Agent or Lenders hereunder or under any of the Loan
Documents or from holding title to or a Lien upon any Collateral or from taking
any other action which may be necessary hereunder or under any of the Loan
Documents, Agent may appoint an additional Person as a separate collateral agent
or co-collateral agent which is not so prohibited from taking any of such
actions or exercising any of such powers, rights or remedies. If Agent shall
appoint an additional Person as a separate collateral agent or co-collateral
agent as provided above, each and every remedy, power, right, claim, demand or
cause of action intended by any of the Loan Documents to be exercised by or
vested in or conveyed to Agent with respect thereto shall be exercisable by and
vested in such separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent, but only to the
extent necessary to enable such separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent
to exercise such powers, rights and remedies, and every covenant and obligation
necessary to the exercise thereof by such separate collateral agent or
co-collateral agent shall run to and be enforceable by either of them. Should
any instrument from Lenders be required by the separate collateral agent or
co-collateral agent so appointed by Agent in order more fully and certainly to
vest in and confirm to him or it such rights, powers, duties and obligations,
any and all of such instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and
delivered by Lenders whether or not a Default or Event of Default then exists.
In case any separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent, or a successor to
either, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the
estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and obligations of such separate
collateral agent or co-collateral agent, so far as permitted by Applicable Law,
shall vest in and be exercised by Agent until the appointment of a new
collateral agent or successor to such separate collateral agent or co-collateral
agent.

     12.9.  Consents, Amendments and Waivers.

            12.9.1.   No amendment or modification of any provision of this
Agreement shall be effective without the prior written agreement of the Required
Lenders, Borrowers and PLC, and no waiver of any Default or Event of Default
shall be effective without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders;
provided, however, that (i) without the prior written consent of Agent, no
amendment or waiver shall be effective with respect to any provision in any of
the Loan Documents (including this Section 12) to the extent such provision
relates to the rights, duties, immunities or discretion of Agent; (ii) without
the prior written consent of Fleet, no amendment or waiver with respect to the
provisions of Sections 1.3 or 3.1.3 shall be effective; (iii) without the prior
written consent of all Lenders, no waiver of any Default or Event of Default
shall be effective if the Default or Event of Default relates to either
Borrower's failure to observe or perform any covenant that may not be amended
without the unanimous written consent of Lenders (and, where so provided
hereinafter, the written consent of Agent) as hereinafter set forth in this
Section 12.9.1; and (iv) written agreement of all Lenders (except a defaulting
Lender as provided in Section 3.2) shall be required to effectuate any
amendment, modification or waiver that would (a) alter the provisions of
Sections 2.2, 2.4, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 4.6, 4.7, 4.9, 4.10, 5.1, 12.9, 14.2,
14.3 or 14.16, (b) amend the definitions of "Pro Rata," "Required Lenders,"
"Availability Reserve" or "Borrowing Base" (and the other defined terms used in
such definitions), or any provision of this Agreement obligating Agent to take
certain actions at the direction of the Required Lenders, or any provision of
any of the Loan Documents regarding the Pro Rata treatment or obligations of
Lenders, (c) increase or otherwise modify any of the Commitments (other than to
reduce proportionately each Lender's Commitment in connection with any overall
reduction in the amount of the Commitments), (d) alter or amend (other than to
increase) the rate of interest payable in respect of the Loans (except as may be
expressly authorized by the Loan Documents or as may be necessary, in Agent's
judgment, to comply with Applicable Law), (e) waive or agree to defer collection
of any fee, termination charge or other charge provided for under any of the
Loan Documents (except to the extent that the Required Lenders agree after and
during the continuance of any Event of Default to a waiver or deferral of any
termination charge provided for in Section 5.2.3) or the unused line fee in
Section 2.2.2, (f) subordinate

                                      -64-

<PAGE>

the payment of any of the Obligations to any other Debt or the priority of any
Liens granted to Agent under any of the Loan Documents to Liens granted to any
other Person, except as currently provided in or contemplated by the Loan
Documents in connection with Borrowers' incurrence of Permitted Purchase Money
Debt, and except for Liens granted by an Obligor to financial institutions with
respect to amounts on deposit with such financial institutions to cover returned
items, processing and analysis charges and other charges in the Ordinary Course
of Business that relate to deposit accounts with such financial institutions,
(g) alter the time or amount of repayment of any of the Loans (except a
moratorium or deferral of payment pursuant to a forbearance agreement entered
into by Agent and the Required Lenders with Borrowers at any time an Event of
Default exists) or waive any Event of Default resulting from nonpayment of the
Loans on the due date thereof (or within any applicable period of grace), (h)
forgive any of the Obligations, except any portion of the Obligations held by a
Lender who consents in writing to such forgiveness, or (i) release any Obligor
from liability for any of the Obligations (other than any Obligor that may be
sold in conformity with the terms of this Agreement. No Lender shall be
authorized to amend or modify any Note held by it, unless such amendment or
modification is consented to in writing by all Lenders; provided, however, that
the foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit an amendment or modification to
any provision of this Agreement that may be effected pursuant to this Section
12.9.1 by agreement of Borrowers and the Required Lenders even though such an
amendment or modification results in an amendment or modification of the Notes
by virtue of the incorporation by reference in each of the Notes of this
Agreement. The making of any Loans hereunder by any Lender during the existence
of a Default or Event of Default shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of
such Default or Event of Default. Any waiver or consent granted by Lenders
hereunder shall be effective only if in writing and then only in the specific
instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.

            12.9.2.   Neither Borrowers nor PLC will, directly or indirectly,
pay or cause to be paid any remuneration or other thing of value, whether by way
of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, to any Lender (in its
capacity as a Lender hereunder) as consideration for or as an inducement to the
consent to or agreement by such Lender with any waiver or amendment of any of
the terms and provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to
the extent that the agreement of all Lenders to any such waiver or amendment is
required, unless such remuneration or thing of value is concurrently paid, on
the same terms, on a Pro Rata basis to all Lenders; provided, however, that
Borrowers may contract to pay a fee only to those Lenders who actually vote in
writing to approve any waiver or amendment of the terms and provisions of this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to the extent that such waiver or
amendment may be implemented by vote of the Required Lenders and such waiver or
amendment is in fact approved.

            12.9.3.   Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at
the time of making such request or giving such a authority or consent, as a
Lender, shall be conclusive and binding upon any Assignee of such Lender.

     12.10. Due Diligence and Non-Reliance. Each Lender hereby acknowledges and
represents that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or the
other Lenders, and based upon such documents, information and analyses as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of each Obligor and its own
decision to enter into this Agreement and to fund the Loans to be made by it
hereunder and to purchase participations in the LC Outstandings pursuant to
Section 1.3.2 hereof, and each Lender has made such inquiries concerning the
Loan Documents, the Collateral and each Obligor as such Lender feels necessary
and appropriate, and has taken such care on its own behalf as would have been
the case had it entered into the other Loan Documents without the intervention
or participation of the other Lenders or Agent. Each Lender hereby further
acknowledges and represents that the other Lenders and Agent have not made any
representations or warranties to it concerning any Obligor, any of the
Collateral or the legality, validity, sufficiency or enforceability of any of
the Loan Documents. Each Lender also hereby acknowledges that it will,
independently and without reliance upon the other Lenders

                                      -65-

<PAGE>

or Agent, and based upon such financial statements, documents and information as
it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make and rely upon its own credit
decisions in making Loans and in taking or refraining to take any other action
under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Except for notices,
reports and other information expressly required to be furnished to Lenders by
Agent hereunder, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any
Lender with any notices, reports or certificates furnished to Agent by any
Obligor or any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial
condition, business or Properties of any Obligor (or any of its Affiliates)
which may come into possession of Agent or any of Agent's Affiliates.

     12.11. Representations and Warranties of Lenders. By its execution of this
Agreement, each Lender hereby represents and warrants to each Borrower and the
other Lenders that it has the power to enter into and perform its obligations
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and that it has taken all
necessary and appropriate action to authorize its execution and performance of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, each of
which will be binding upon it and the obligations imposed upon it herein or
therein will be enforceable against it in accordance with the respective terms
of such documents.

     12.12. The Required Lenders. As to any provisions of this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents under which action may or is required to be taken upon
direction or approval of the Required Lenders, the direction or approval of the
Required Lenders shall be binding upon each Lender to the same extent and with
the same effect as if each Lender had joined therein. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Borrowers shall not be deemed to be
a beneficiary of, or be entitled to enforce, sue upon or assert as a defense to
any of the Obligations, any provisions of this Agreement that requires Agent or
any Lender to act, or conditions their authority to act, upon the direction or
consent of the Required Lenders; and any action taken by Agent or any Lender
that requires the consent or direction of the Required Lenders as a condition to
taking such action shall, insofar as Borrowers are concerned, be presumed to
have been taken with the requisite consent or direction of the Required Lenders.

     12.13. Several Obligations. The obligations and commitments of each Lender
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are several and neither Agent
nor any Lender shall be responsible for the performance by the other Lenders of
its obligations or commitments hereunder or thereunder. Notwithstanding any
liability of Lenders stated to be joint and several to third Persons under any
of the Loan Documents, such liability shall be shared, as among Lenders, Pro
Rata according to the respective Commitments of Lenders.

     12.14. Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its obligation to
lend under this Agreement, the Loans made by it and each Note issued to it,
Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents as any other Lender or holder of a Note and may exercise the same as
though it were not performing the duties specified herein; and the terms
"Lenders," "Required Lenders," or any similar term shall, unless the context
clearly otherwise indicates, include Agent in its capacity as a Lender. Agent
and its Affiliates may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit
balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of,
serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with
a Borrower or any other Obligor, or any affiliate of a Borrower or any other
Obligor, as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor
(or for any fees or other consideration received in connection therewith) to the
other Lenders. Fleet or its affiliates may receive information regarding a
Borrower or any of such Borrower's Affiliates and account debtors (including
information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of
Borrowers or any of their Affiliates) and Lenders acknowledge that neither Agent
nor Fleet shall be under any obligation to provide such information to Lenders
to the extent acquired by Fleet in its individual capacity and not as Agent
hereunder.

                                      -66-

<PAGE>

     12.15. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Section 12 is not intended to
confer any rights or benefits upon Borrowers or any other Person except Lenders
and Agent, and, except as expressly provided in this Section 12, no Person
(including any or all Borrowers) other than Lenders and Agent shall have any
right to enforce any of the provisions of this Section 12 except as expressly
provided in Section 12.17. As between Borrowers and Agent, any action that Agent
may take or purport to take on behalf of Lenders under any of the Loan Documents
shall be conclusively presumed to have been authorized and approved by Lenders
as herein provided.

     12.16. Notice of Transfer. Agent may deem and treat a Lender party to this
Agreement as the owner of such Lender's portion of the Revolver Loans for all
purposes, unless and until a written notice of the assignment or transfer
thereof executed by such Lender has been received by Agent.

     12.17. Replacement of Certain Lenders. If a Lender ("Affected Lender")
shall have (i) failed to fund its Pro Rata share of any Revolver Loan requested
(or deemed requested) by Borrowers which such Lender is obligated to fund under
the terms of this Agreement and which such failure has not been cured, (ii)
requested compensation from Borrowers under Section 2.7 or Section 4.9 to
recover increased costs incurred by such Lender (or its parent or holding
company) or Taxes which are not being incurred generally by the other Lenders
(or their respective parents or holding companies), or (iii) delivered a notice
pursuant to Section 2.6 claiming that such Lender is unable to extend LIBOR
Loans to Borrowers for reasons not generally applicable to the other Lenders,
then, in any such case and in addition to any other rights and remedies that
Agent, any other Lender or a Borrower may have against such Affected Lender, a
Borrower or Agent may make written demand on such Affected Lender (with a copy
to Agent in the case of a demand by Borrowers and a copy to Borrowers in the
case of a demand by Agent) for the Affected Lender to assign, and such Affected
Lender shall assign pursuant to one or more duly executed Assignment and
Acceptances within 5 Business Days after the date of such demand, to one or more
Lenders willing to accept such assignment or assignments, or to one or more
Eligible Assignees designated by Agent, all of such Affected Lender's rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including its Commitments and all Loans owing
to it) in accordance with Section 13. Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to
execute one or more Assignment and Acceptances as attorney-in-fact for any
Affected Lender which fails or refuses to execute and deliver the same within 5
Business Days after the date of such demand. The Affected Lender shall be
entitled to receive, in cash and concurrently with execution and delivery of
each such Assignment and Acceptance, all amounts owed to the Affected Lender
hereunder or under any other Loan Document, including the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of the Revolver Loans owed to such Lender, together with
accrued interest thereon through the date of such assignment. Upon the
replacement of any Affected Lender pursuant to this Section 12.17, such Affected
Lender shall cease to have any participation in, entitlement to, or other right
to share in the Liens of Agent in any Collateral and such Affected Lender shall
have no further liability to Agent, any Lender or any other Person under any of
the Loan Documents (except as provided in Section 12.6 as to events or
transactions which occur prior to the replacement of such Affected Lender),
including any commitment to make Loans or purchase participations in LC
Outstandings.

     12.18. Remittance of Payments and Collections.

            12.18.1.  All payments by any Lender to Agent shall be made not
later than the time set forth elsewhere in this Agreement on the Business Day
such payment is due; provided, however, that if such payment is due on demand by
Agent and such demand is made on the paying Lender after 11:00 a.m. on such
Business Day, then payment shall be made by 11:00 a.m. on the next Business Day.
Payment by Agent to any Lender shall be made by wire transfer, promptly
following Agent's receipt of funds for the account of such Lender and in the
type of funds received by Agent; provided, however, that if Agent receives such
funds at or prior to 12:00 noon, Agent shall pay such funds to such Lender by

                                      -67-

<PAGE>

2:00 p.m. on such Business Day, but if Agent receives such funds after 12:00
noon, Agent shall pay such funds to such Lender by 2:00 p.m. on the next
Business Day.

            12.18.2.  With respect to the payment of any funds from Agent to a
Lender or from a Lender to Agent, the party failing to make full payment when
due pursuant to the terms hereof shall, on demand by the other party, pay such
amount together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate. In no event
shall Borrowers be entitled to receive any credit for any interest paid by Agent
to any Lender, or by any Lender to Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate as provided
herein.

            12.18.3.  If Agent pays any amount to a Lender in the belief or
expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by Agent from an
Obligor and such related payment is not received by Agent, then Agent shall be
entitled to recover such amount from each Lender that receives such amount. If
Agent determines at any time that any amount received by it under this Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents must be returned to an Obligor or paid to any
other Person pursuant to any Applicable Law, court order or otherwise, then,
notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents, Agent shall not be required to distribute such amount to
any Lender.

SECTION 13. BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS

     13.1.  Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of Borrowers, Agent and Lenders and their respective
successors and assigns (which, in the case of Agent, shall include any successor
Agent appointed pursuant to Section 12.8), except that (i) no Borrower shall
have the right to assign its rights or delegate performance of any of its
obligations under any of the Loan Documents and (ii) any assignment by any
Lender must be made in compliance with Section 13.3. Agent may treat the payee
of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until such
payee complies with Section 13.3 in the case of an assignment thereof or, in the
case of any other transfer, a written notice of the transfer is filed with
Agent. Any assignee or transferee of a Note agrees by acceptance thereof to be
bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request,
authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or
giving such authority or consent is the holder of a Note, shall be conclusive
and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of such Note or of
any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.

     13.2.  Participations.

            13.2.1.   Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may, in the
ordinary course of its business and in accordance with Applicable Law, at any
time sell to one or more banks or other financial institutions (each a
"Participant") a participating interest in any of the Obligations owing to such
Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under
any of the Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of
participating interests to a Participant, such Lender's obligations under the
Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations,
such Lender shall remain the holder of any Note for all purposes under the Loan
Documents, all amounts payable by Borrowers under this Agreement and any of the
Notes shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating
interests, and Borrowers and Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly
with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under
the Loan Documents. If a Lender sells a participation to a Person other than an
Affiliate of such Lender, then such Lender shall give prompt written notice
thereof to Borrowers and the other Lenders.

            13.2.2.   Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to
approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or
waiver of any provision of the Loan

                                      -68-

<PAGE>

Documents other than an amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any
Loans or Commitment in which such Participant has an interest which forgives
principal, interest or fees or reduces the stated interest rate or the stated
rates at which fees are payable with respect to any such Loan or Commitment,
postpones the Commitment Termination Date, or any date fixed for any regularly
scheduled payment of interest or fees on such Revolver Loan or Commitment, or
releases from liability either Borrower or any Guarantor (except as provided
herein) or releases substantially all of the Collateral.

            13.2.3.   Benefit of Set-Off. Each Borrower agrees that each
Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off provided in Section
11.4 in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under the Loan
Documents to the same extent and subject to the same requirements under this
Agreement (including Section 12.5) as if the amount of its participating
interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under the Loan Documents,
provided that each Lender shall retain the right of set-off provided in Section
11.4 with respect to the amount of participating interests sold to each
Participant. Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and each Participant
by exercising the right of set-off provided in Section 11.4 agrees to share with
each Lender, any amount received pursuant to the exercise of its right of
set-off, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 12.5 as if each
Participant were a Lender.

            13.2.4.   Notices. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for
notifying its Participants of any matters relating to the Loan Documents to the
extent that any such notice may be required, and neither Agent nor any other
Lender shall have any obligation, duty or liability to any Participant of any
other Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither Agent
nor any Lender shall have any obligation to give notices or to provide documents
or information to a Participant of another Lender.

     13.3.  Assignments.

            13.3.1.   Permitted Assignments. Subject to its compliance with
Section 13.3.2, a Lender may, in accordance with Applicable Law, at any time
assign to any Eligible Assignee all or any part of its rights and obligations
under the Loan Documents, so long as (i) each assignment is of a constant, and
not a varying, ratable percentage of all of the transferor Lender's rights and
obligations under the Loan Documents with respect to the Loans and the LC
Outstandings and, in the case of a partial assignment, is in a minimum principal
amount of $5,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed by Agent in its sole discretion)
and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount; (ii) except in
the case of an assignment in whole of a Lender's rights and obligations under
the Loan Documents or an assignment by one original signatory to this Agreement
to another such signatory, immediately after giving effect to any assignment,
the aggregate amount of the Commitments retained by the transferor Lender shall
in no event be less than $5,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed by Agent in its
sole discretion); and (iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute
and deliver to Agent, for its acceptance and recording, an Assignment and
Acceptance. Nothing contained herein shall limit in any way the right of a
Lender to assign all or any portion of the Obligations owing to it to any
Federal Reserve Bank or the United States Treasury as collateral security
pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors and any Operating Circular
issued by such Federal Reserve Bank, provided that any payment by Borrowers to
the assigning Lender in respect of such assigned Obligations in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement shall satisfy Borrowers' obligations hereunder in
respect of such assigned Obligations to the extent of such payment, and no such
assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.

            13.3.2.   Effect; Effective Date. Upon (i) delivery to Agent of a
notice of assignment substantially in the form attached as Exhibit H hereto,
together with any consents required by Section 13.3.1, and (ii) payment of a
$5,000 fee to the Agent for processing any assignment to an Eligible Assignee
that is not an Affiliate of the transferor Lender, such assignment shall become
effective on the effective date specified in such notice of assignment. On and
after the effective date of

                                      -69-

<PAGE>

such assignment, such Eligible Assignee shall for all purposes be a Lender party
to the Agreement and any other Loan Document executed by the Lenders and shall
have all the rights and obligations of the Lender under the Loan Documents to
the same extent as if it were an original party thereto, and no further consent
or action by Borrowers, Lenders or Agent shall be required to release the
transferor Lender with respect to the Commitment (or portion thereof) of such
Lender and Obligations assigned to such Eligible Assignee. Upon the consummation
of any assignment to an Eligible Assignee pursuant to this Section 13.3, the
transferor Lender, Agent and Borrowers shall make appropriate arrangements so
that replacement Notes are issued to such transferor Lender and new Notes or, as
appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued to such Eligible Assignee, in each
case in principal amounts reflecting their respective Commitments, as adjusted
pursuant to such assignment. If the transferor Lender shall have assigned all of
its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to Section
13.3.1, such transferor Lender shall no longer have any obligation to indemnify
Agent with respect to any transactions, events or occurrences that transpire
after the effective date of such assignment, and each Eligible Assignee to which
such transferor shall make an assignment shall be responsible to Agent to
indemnify Agent in accordance with this Agreement with respect to transactions,
events and occurrences transpiring on and after the effective date of such
assignment to it.

            13.3.3.   Dissemination of Information. Subject to Section
14.17(viii), each Borrower authorizes each Lender and Agent to disclose to any
Participant, any Eligible Assignee or any other Person acquiring an interest in
the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a "Transferee"), and any
prospective Transferee, any and all information in Agent's or such Lender's
possession concerning each Borrower, the Subsidiaries of each Borrower or the
Collateral, subject to appropriate confidentiality undertakings on the part of
such Transferee.

     13.4. Tax Treatment. If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to
any Transferee that is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than
the United States or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such
Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with
the provisions of Section 4.10.

SECTION 14. MISCELLANEOUS

     14.1.  Power of Attorney. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates,
makes, constitutes and appoints Agent as such Borrower's true and lawful
attorney (and agent-in-fact) and Agent, or Agent's designee, may, without notice
to such Borrower and in either such Borrower's or Agent's name, but at the cost
and expense of Borrowers:

            14.1.1.   At such time or times as Agent or said designee, in its
sole discretion, may determine, endorse such Borrower's name on any Payment Item
or proceeds of the Collateral which come into the possession of Agent or under
Agent's control.

            14.1.2.   At any time that an Event of Default exists: (i) demand
payment of the Receivables from the Receivable Debtors, enforce payment of the
Receivables by legal proceedings or otherwise, and generally exercise all of
such Borrower's rights and remedies with respect to the collection of the
Accounts; (ii) settle, adjust, compromise, discharge or release any of the
Receivables or other Collateral or any legal proceedings brought to collect any
of the Receivables or other Collateral; (iii) sell or assign any of the
Receivables and other Collateral upon such terms, for such amounts and at such
time or times as Agent deems advisable; (iv) take control, in any manner, of any

                                      -70-

delivery thereof to such address as Agent may designate; (vii) endorse the name
of such Borrower upon any of the items of payment or proceeds relating to any
Collateral and deposit the same to the account of Agent on account of the

any letter of credit or banker's acceptance of which such Borrower is a
beneficiary; and (xiv) do all other acts and things necessary, in Agent's

     14.2.  General Indemnity. Each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and
defend the Indemnitees against and to hold the Indemnitees harmless from any
Indemnified Claim that may be instituted or asserted against or incurred by any
of the Indemnitees and that either (i) arises out of or relates to this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (including any transactions entered
into pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, Agent's Lien upon the Collateral, or
the performance by Agent or Lenders of their duties or the exercise of any of
their rights or remedies under this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents), or (ii) results from such Borrower's failure to observe, perform or
discharge any of such Borrower's covenants or duties hereunder. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, this indemnity shall extend to any Indemnified
Claims instituted or asserted against or incurred by any of the Indemnitees by
any Person under any Environmental Laws or similar laws by reason of either
Borrower's or any other Person's failure to comply with laws applicable to solid
or hazardous waste materials or other toxic substances. Additionally, if any
Indemnified Taxes shall be payable by Agent or any Lender on account of the
execution or delivery of this Agreement, or the execution, delivery, issuance or
recording of any of the other Loan Documents, or the creation or repayment of
any of the Obligations hereunder, by reason of any Applicable Law now or
hereafter in effect, Borrowers will pay (or will promptly reimburse Agent and
Lenders for the payment of) all such Indemnified Taxes, including any interest
and penalties thereon, and will indemnify and hold Indemnitees harmless from and
against all liability in connection therewith. The foregoing indemnities shall
not apply to Indemnified Claims incurred by any of the Indemnitees as a direct
and proximate result of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct or that
arise out of any disputes between Agent and any Lender. Agent or any Lender
claiming indemnification under this Section 14.2 shall provide Borrowers with a
certificate, setting forth the amount and basis of such claim. Such certificate
shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

     14.3.  Survival of All Indemnities. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the obligation of
each Borrower and each Lender with respect to each indemnity given by it in this
Agreement, whether given by any or all Borrowers to Agent Indemnitees, Lender
Indemnitees or Fleet Indemnitees or by any Lender to any Agent Indemnitees or
Fleet Indemnitees, shall survive Full Payment of the Obligations and the
termination of any of the Commitments.

     14.4.  Modification of Agreement. This Agreement may not be modified,
altered or amended, except by an agreement in writing signed by PLC, Borrowers,
Agent and Lenders (or, where otherwise expressly allowed by Section 12, the
Required Lenders in lieu of Agent and Lenders); provided, however, that no
consent, written or otherwise, of Borrowers or PLC shall be necessary or
required in connection with any amendment of any of the provisions of Sections
1.3.2, 3.1.3, 4.6, or 12 (other than Section 12.17 and to the extent Borrowers'
consent is expressly required thereunder, Sections 2.8 and

                                      -71-

<PAGE>

12.9), or any other provision of this Agreement that affects only the rights,
duties and responsibilities of Lenders and Agent as among themselves so long as
no such amendment imposes any additional obligations on, or is otherwise
disadvantageous to, Borrowers.

     14.5.  Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement
shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
Applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or
invalid under Applicable Law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the
extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of
such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

     14.6.  Cumulative Effect; Conflict of Terms. The provisions of the Other
Agreements and the Security Documents are hereby made cumulative with the
provisions of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the parties acknowledge that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may use
several different limitations, tests or measurements to regulate the same or
similar matters and that such limitations, tests and measures are cumulative and
each must be performed, except as may be expressly stated to the contrary in
this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in any of the other Loan Documents
by specific reference to the applicable provision of this Agreement, if any
provision contained in this Agreement is in direct conflict with, or
inconsistent with, any provision in any of the other Loan Documents, the
provision contained in this Agreement shall govern and control.

     14.7.  Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments hereto
may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in
separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be
deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts taken together shall
constitute but one and the same instrument.

     14.8.  Consent. Whenever Agent's, Lenders' or Required Lenders' consent is
required to be obtained under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents
as a condition to any action, inaction, condition or event, Agent and each
Lender shall be authorized to give or withhold its consent in its sole and
absolute discretion and to condition its consent upon the giving of additional
collateral security for the Obligations, the payment of money or any other
matter.

     14.9.  Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon a party hereto
shall be in writing and shall be sent by certified or registered mail, return
receipt requested, personal delivery against receipt or by telecopier or other
facsimile transmission and shall be deemed to have been validly served, given or
delivered when delivered against receipt or, in the case of facsimile
transmission, when received (if on a Business Day and, if not received on a
Business Day, then on the next Business Day after receipt) at the office where
the noticed party's telecopier is located, in each case addressed to the noticed
party at the address shown for such party on the signature page hereof or, in
the case of a Person who becomes a Lender after the date hereof, at the address
shown on the Assignment and Acceptance by which such Person became a Lender.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice to or upon Agent pursuant to Sections
1.1.5, 1.3, 2.1.2, 3.1 or 5.2.2 shall be effective until after actually received
by the individual to whose attention at Agent such notice is required to be
sent. Any written notice, request or demand that is not sent in conformity with
the provisions hereof shall nevertheless be effective on the date that such
notice, request or demand is actually received by the individual to whose
attention at the noticed party such notice, request or demand is required to be
sent.

     14.10. Performance of Borrowers' Obligations. If Borrowers shall fail to
discharge any covenant, duty or obligation hereunder or under any of the other
Loan Documents, Agent may, in its sole discretion at any time or from time to
time, for Borrowers' account and at Borrowers' expense, pay any amount or do any
act required of Borrowers hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents to
(i) enforce any of the Loan Documents or collect any of the Obligations, (ii)
preserve, protect, insure or

                                      -72-

<PAGE>

maintain or realize upon any of the Collateral, or (iii) preserve, defend,
protect or maintain the validity or priority of Agent's Liens in any of the
Collateral, including the payment of any judgment against either Borrower, any
insurance premium, any warehouse charge, any finishing or processing charge, any
landlord claim, any other Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral
(whether or not a Permitted Lien). All payments that Agent may make under this
Section and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including Extraordinary
Expenses) that Agent pays or incurs in connection with any action taken by it
hereunder shall be reimbursed to Agent by Borrowers on demand with interest from
the date of such demand to the date of payment thereof at the Default Rate
applicable for Revolver Loans that are Base Rate Loans. Any payment made or
other action taken by Agent under this Section shall be without prejudice to any
right to assert, and without waiver of, an Event of Default hereunder and to
without prejudice to Agent's right proceed thereafter as provided herein or in
any of the other Loan Documents.

     14.11. Credit Inquiries. Each Borrower hereby authorizes and permits Agent
and Lenders (but Agent and Lenders shall have no obligation) to respond to usual
and customary credit inquiries from third parties concerning such Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries.

     14.12. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement, the Other
Agreements and the Security Documents.

     14.13. Indulgences Not Waivers. Agent's or any Lender's failure at any time
or times hereafter, to require strict performance by Borrowers of any provision
of this Agreement shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of Agent or any
Lender thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance therewith.

     14.14. Entire Agreement; Appendix A, Exhibits and Schedules. This Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, together with all other instruments, agreements
and certificates executed by the parties in connection therewith or with
reference thereto, embody the entire understanding and agreement between the
parties hereto and thereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof
and supersede all prior agreements, understandings and inducements, whether
express or implied, oral or written. Appendix A, each of the Exhibits and each
of the Schedules attached hereto are incorporated into this Agreement and by
this reference made a part hereof.

     14.15. Interpretation. No provision of this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents shall be construed against or interpreted to the disadvantage of
any party hereto by any court or other governmental or judicial authority by
reason of such party having, or being deemed to have, structured, drafted or
dictated such provision.

     14.16. Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of each Lender
hereunder are several, and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or
Commitment of any other Lender. Nothing contained in this Agreement and no
action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the
Lenders to be a partnership, association, joint venture or any other kind of
entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a
separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled, to the extent
not otherwise restricted hereunder, to protect and enforce its rights arising
out of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents and it shall not be
necessary for Agent or any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in
any proceeding for such purpose.

     14.17. Confidentiality. Agent and Lenders each agrees to exercise
reasonable efforts (and, in any event, with at least the same degree of care as
it ordinarily exercises with respect to confidential information of its other
customers) to keep any confidential information that is delivered or made
available by a Borrower or any of its advisors, including information made
available to Agent or any Lender in connection with a visit or investigation by
any Person pursuant to Section 9.1.1 hereof,

                                      -73-

<PAGE>

confidential from any Person other than their respective Affiliates (including
Bank) and individuals employed or retained by Agent or such Lender who are or
are expected to become engaged in evaluating, approving, structuring,
administering or otherwise giving professional advice with respect to any of the
Loans or Collateral, including any of their respective legal counsel, auditors
or other professional advisors, provided, however, that nothing herein shall
prevent Agent or any Lender from disclosing such confidential information (i) to
any party to this Agreement from time to time, (ii) pursuant the order of any
court or administrative agency, (iii) upon the request or demand of any
regulatory agency or authority having jurisdiction over Agent or such Lender,
(iv) which has been publicly disclosed other than by an act or omission of Agent
or any Lender except as permitted herein or which becomes available to Agent or
any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Obligors, (v) to
the extent reasonably required in connection with any litigation with respect to
any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated thereby to
which Agent, any Lender or their respective Affiliates may be a party, (vi) to
the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedies
hereunder, (vii) to any Agent Professionals or any Lender's legal counsel or
auditors, (viii) to any actual or proposed Participant, Assignee, or any other
Transferee of all or part of a Lender's rights hereunder so long as such Person
has agreed in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Section, (viii) to
the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization
or to any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to
information about a Lender's portfolio in connection with ratings issued with
respect to such Lender, (ix) to the extent disclosure is required by Applicable
Law or (x) with the consent of Borrowers.

     14.18. Disclosure. Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the
contrary, the parties (and each employee, representative, or other agent of the
Parties) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind,
the tax treatment, and any facts that may be relevant to the tax structure of,
the transaction.

     14.19. Senior Debt. Borrowers and PLC represent, warrant, acknowledge and
agree that (a) the Obligations constitute (i) "Senior Debt" and "Designated
Senior Debt" as defined in the Existing Subordinated Notes Indenture and (ii)
"Senior Debt," "Designated Senior Debt" and "Guarantor Senior Debt" in the
Existing Zero Subordinated Notes Indenture and (b) this Agreement constitutes a
"Credit Facility" under each of the New Notes Indenture, the Existing
Subordinated Notes Indenture and the Existing Zero Coupon Notes Indenture.

     14.20. PLC as a Party to This Agreement. PLC is a party to this Agreement
solely for the purpose of providing certain representations and warranties and
making certain covenants as set forth herein, but is not a Borrower, shall not
be deemed to be a Borrower and shall have no rights as a Borrower hereunder or
otherwise. PLC shall not have any liability with respect to any of the Loans or
other monetary Obligations, except as set forth in its Guaranty.

     14.21. Judgment Currency. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any
court it is necessary to convert an amount due hereunder in the currency in
which it is due (the "Original Currency") into another currency (the "Second
Currency"), the rate of exchange applied shall be that at which, in accordance
with normal banking procedures, Agent could purchase in the New York foreign
exchange market, the Original Currency with the Second Currency on the date on
which judgment is given, or the preceding Business Day if such date is not a
Business Day. Each Borrower agrees that its obligation in respect of any
Original Currency due from it hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment or
payment in such other currency, be discharged only to the extent that, on the
Business Day following the date Agent receives payment of any sum so adjudged to
be due hereunder the Second Currency, Agent may, in accordance with normal
banking procedures, purchase, in the New York foreign exchange market, the
Original Currency with the amount of the Second Currency so paid; and if the
amount of the Original Currency so purchased or which could have been so
purchased is less than the amount originally

                                      -74-

<PAGE>

due in the Original Currency, each Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and
notwithstanding any such payment or judgment, to indemnify Agent or any Lender
against such loss. The term "rate of exchange" in this Section 14.20 means the
spot rate at which Agent, in accordance with its normal practices, is able on
the relevant date to purchase the Original Currency with the Second Currency,
and includes any premium and costs of exchange payable in connection with such
purchase.

     14.22. Governing Law; Consent to Forum. This Agreement shall be governed by
and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (including
N.Y. Gen. Obligs. Section 5-1401); provided, however, that, if any of the
Collateral shall be located in any jurisdiction other than New York, the laws of
such jurisdiction shall govern the method, manner and procedure for foreclosure
of Agent's Lien upon such Collateral and the enforcement of Agent's other
remedies in respect of such Collateral to the extent that the laws of such
jurisdiction are different from or inconsistent with the laws of the State of
New York. As part of the consideration for new value received, and regardless of
any present or future domicile or principal place of business of either
Borrower, PLC, any Lender or Agent, (i) PLC and each Borrower hereby consents
and agrees that the State Courts of New York, sitting in the Borough of
Manhattan, or, at Agent's option, the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York, shall have jurisdiction to hear and determine any
claims or disputes among any or all Borrowers, Agent and Lenders pertaining to
this Agreement or to any matter arising out of or related to this Agreement, and
(ii) each Borrower hereby consents and agrees that the Superior Court of
Pinellas County, Florida, or at Agent's option, the United States District Court
for the Middle District of Florida, shall have the jurisdiction to hear and
determine any claims or disputes between such Borrower and Agent and Lenders
pertaining to this Agreement or to any matter arising out of or related to this
Agreement. PLC and each Borrower expressly submit and consent in advance to such
jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such Court, and PLC and each
Borrower hereby waive any objection that they may have based upon lack of
personal jurisdiction, improper venue or forum non conveniens and hereby
consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed
appropriate by such Court. PLC and each Borrower hereby waives personal service
of the summons, complaint and other process issued in any such action or suit
and agrees that service of such summons, complaint and other process may be made
by certified mail addressed to PLC or Borrowers at the address set forth in this
Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier of
such Borrower's actual receipt thereof or 3 days after deposit in the United
States mails, proper postage prepaid. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed
or operate to affect the right of Agent to serve legal process in any other
manner permitted by law, or to preclude the enforcement by Agent of any judgment
or order obtained in such forum or the taking of any action under this Agreement
to enforce same in any other appropriate forum or jurisdiction.

     14.23. DOIC as Agent for Service of Process. DOIC acknowledges and agrees
that pursuant to the Guaranty, certain Guarantors have appointed DOIC as each
Guarantor's agent for service of process for purposes of any legal action or
proceeding related to such Guarantor's obligations under the Guaranty; and DOIC
hereby accepts such appointment as agent for service of process for each such
Guarantor and agrees to act in such capacity for the purposes described in the
Guaranty.

     14.24. Specific Waivers. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law,
PLC and each Borrower waive (i) the right to trial by jury (which Agent and each
Lender hereby also waives) in any action, suit, proceeding or counterclaim of
any kind arising out of or related to any of the Loan Documents, the Obligations
or the Collateral; (ii) presentment, demand and protest and notice of
presentment, protest, default, non payment, maturity, release, compromise,
settlement, extension or renewal of any or all commercial paper, accounts,
contract rights, documents, instruments, chattel paper and guaranties at any
time held by Agent on which either Borrower may

                                      -75-

<PAGE>

in any way be liable and hereby ratifies and confirms whatever Agent may do in
this regard; (iii) notice prior to taking possession or control of the
Collateral or any bond or security which might be required by any court prior to
allowing Agent to exercise any of Agent's remedies; (iv) the benefit of all
valuation, appraisement and exemption laws; (v) any claim against Agent or any
Lender, 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, any of the Loan Documents, any transaction
thereunder or the use of the proceeds of any Loans; and (vi) notice of
acceptance hereof. PLC and each Borrower acknowledge that the foregoing waivers
are a material inducement to Agent's and Lender's entering into this Agreement
and that Agent and Lenders are relying upon the foregoing waivers in its future
dealings with PLC and Borrowers. PLC and Borrowers each warrant and represent
that it has reviewed the foregoing waivers with its legal counsel and has
knowingly and voluntarily waived its jury trial rights following consultation
with legal counsel. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a
written consent to a trial by the Court.

            The Applicable Margin shall be subject to reduction or increase, as
     applicable and as set forth above, on a quarterly basis according to the
     performance of Borrowers as measured by the Average Adjusted Availability
     for the immediately preceding Fiscal Quarter of Borrowers. Any such
     increase or reduction in the Applicable Margin provided for herein shall be
     effective 3 Business Days after receipt by Agent of the applicable
     financial statements and corresponding Compliance Certificate. If the
     financial statements and the Compliance Certificate of Borrowers are not

     Agreement, the Applicable Margin for Revolver Loans (whether as LIBOR Loans
     or Base Rate Loans) shall be determined by reference to Pricing Level 1 and
     for the Unused Line Fee shall be determined by reference to Pricing Level 4
     until such time as such financial statements and Compliance Certificate are
     received and for so long as any Event of Default resulting from a failure
     to deliver timely such financial statements or Compliance Certificate
     continues to exist; provided, however, that Agent, for the benefit of
     itself and Lenders shall be entitled to accrue and receive interest at the
     Default Rate to the extent authorized by Section 2.1.5 of the Agreement
     and, on each date that the Default Rate accrues on any Revolver Loan, the
     Applicable Margin on such date for such Revolver Loan shall be the
     Applicable Margin that would apply if Average Adjusted Availability was

     Availability).

     form of Exhibit G.

     reimbursed by Borrowers and any outstanding Settlement Loans) is subtracted

     Lien or claim thereto; (iii) any amounts which any Obligor is obligated to
     pay pursuant to the provisions of any of the Loan Documents that Agent or

     authority contained in any of the Loan Documents for which Agent has not
     been reimbursed by an Obligor or by proceeds of Loans; (iv) the LC Reserve;
     (v) the aggregate amount of reserves established by Agent in its reasonable
     discretion in respect of Banking Relationship Debt; (vi) all customer

     Receivables Purchaser or otherwise; (x) the

     secured by Liens upon any of the Collateral that are senior in priority to
     Agent's Liens with respect to such Collateral if such Liens are not a

     such Liens that are not Permitted Liens shall not be deemed to waive any
     Event of Default that exists as a consequence of such Liens) or are

     obligations related to such Permitted Lien are at all times fully supported

     the unpaid balance of Loans and LC Outstandings at the end of each day for

     determined, based upon advice or opinions from legal counsel selected by
     Agent, that Agent's Lien upon the Purchased Receivables and the proceeds
     thereof, as granted to it by DOIC, will survive the sale of the Purchased
     Receivables to the Receivables Purchaser and will remain a duly perfected,
     first priority Lien upon the Purchased Receivables and the proceeds thereof
     and that the Lien (or fixed charge) granted by the Receivables Purchaser to
     Agent will be and remain a valid, duly perfected Lien (or fixed charge)

     and such other Affiliates is subordinated to the Full Payment of the
     Obligations and which is in form and substance satisfactory to Agent and
     its counsel; (ix) if the Receivables Purchaser is a Foreign Obligor, such
     Foreign Obligor grants to Agent (in addition to the Lien and fixed charge
     referenced in clause (iv) above) a valid, duly perfected first priority
     Lien upon (and fixed charge and, with respect to any Property in which a
     fixed charge is not legally permissible, a floating charge with respect to)

<PAGE>

     Purchaser, (xii) if the Receivables Purchaser is a Foreign Obligor, Agent
     has determined, based upon advice or opinions from legal counsel selected
     by Agent, that no bankruptcy or other Insolvency Proceeding of such Foreign
     Obligor will (or could reasonably be expected to) affect adversely in any
     manner the validity, extent, perfection, priority or enforceability of
     either the Lien granted to Agent by DOIC with respect to the Purchased
     Receivables or the Lien (or fixed charge) granted to Agent by such Foreign
     Obligor with respect to the Purchased Receivables (such as, by way of
     example only, the potential avoidability of or the existence of priority
     claims that may take precedence over any such Lien or fixed charge) other

                              FORM OF REVOLVER NOTE
                                                               ___________, 2003
U.S. $__________.__

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Danka Office Imaging Company, a
Delaware corporation ("DOIC") and Danka Holding Company, a Delaware corporation
("Holding") (DOIC and Holding being referred to collectively herein as
"Borrowers," and individually as a "Borrower"), hereby unconditionally, and
jointly and severally, promise to pay to the order
of______________________________ (herein, together with any of its
successors and permitted assigns, called the "Holder") the principal sum of
$_______________ or such lesser sum as may constitute Holder's Pro Rata share of
the outstanding principal amount of all Revolver Loans pursuant to the terms of
the Loan Agreement (as defined below) on the date on which such outstanding
principal amounts become due and payable pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Loan
Agreement, in strict accordance with the terms thereof. Borrowers likewise
unconditionally, and jointly and severally, promise to pay to Holder interest
from and after the date hereof on Holder's Pro Rata share of the outstanding
principal amount of Revolver Loans at such interest rates, payable at such
times, and computed in such manner as are specified in Section 2.1 of the Loan
Agreement, in strict accordance with the terms thereof.

     This Revolver Note ("Note") is issued pursuant to, and is one of the
"Revolver Notes" referred to in, the Loan and Security Agreement dated July ___,
2003 (as the same may be amended from time to time, the "Loan Agreement"), among
Borrowers, Fleet Capital Corporation, as collateral and administrative agent (in
such capacity, "Agent") for itself and the financial institutions from time to
time parties thereto as lenders ("Lenders"), and such Lenders, and Holder is and
shall be entitled to all benefits thereof and of all Loan Documents executed and
delivered in connection therewith. This Note is subject to certain restrictions
on transfer or assignment as provided in the Loan Agreement. All capitalized
terms used herein, unless otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings
ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement.

     The repayment of the principal balance of this Note is subject to the
provisions of Section 4.2 of the Loan Agreement. The entire unpaid principal
balance and all accrued interest on this Note shall be due and payable
immediately upon the termination of the Commitments as set forth in Section 5.2
of the Loan Agreement.

     All payments of principal and interest shall be made in Dollars in
immediately available funds as specified in the Loan Agreement.

     Upon or after the occurrence of an Event of Default and for so long as such
Event of Default exists, the principal balance and all accrued interest of this
Note may be declared (or shall become) due and payable in the manner and with
the effect provided in the Loan Agreement, and the unpaid principal balance
hereof shall bear interest at the Default Rate as and when provided in Section
2.1.5 of the Loan Agreement. Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay, and
save Holder harmless against, any liability for the payment of, all costs and
expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees, if this
Note is collected by or through an attorney-at-law.

     All principal amounts of Revolver Loans made by Holder to Borrowers
pursuant to the Loan Agreement, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon,
shall be deemed outstanding under this Note and shall continue to be owing by
Borrowers until paid in accordance with the terms of this Note and the Loan
Agreement.

     In no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of advancement of
the proceeds hereof

<PAGE>

or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Holder for the use,
forbearance or detention of money advanced hereunder exceed the highest lawful
rate permissible under any law which a court of competent jurisdiction may deem
applicable hereto; and, in the event of any such payment inadvertently paid by
Borrowers or inadvertently received by Holder, such excess sum shall be, at
Borrowers' option, returned to Borrowers forthwith or credited as a payment of
principal, but shall not be applied to the payment of interest. It is the intent
hereof that Borrowers not pay or contract to pay, and that Holder not receive or
contract to receive, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest
in excess of that which may be paid by Borrowers under Applicable Law.

     Time is of the essence of this Note. To the fullest extent permitted by
Applicable Law, each Borrower, for itself and its legal representatives,
successors and assigns, expressly waives presentment, demand, protest, notice of
dishonor, notice of non-payment, notice of maturity, notice of protest,
presentment for the purpose of accelerating maturity, diligence in collection,
and the benefit of any exemption or insolvency laws.

     Wherever possible each provision of this Note shall be interpreted in such
a manner as to be effective and valid under Applicable Law, but if any provision
of this Note shall be prohibited or invalid under Applicable Law, such provision
shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without
invalidating the remainder of such provision or remaining provisions of this
Note. No delay or failure on the part of Holder in the exercise of any right or
remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor as an acquiescence in
any default, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Holder of any right or
remedy preclude any other right or remedy. Holder, at its option, may enforce
its rights against any Collateral securing this Note without Agent or Holder
enforcing its rights against either Borrower, any Guarantor of the indebtedness
evidenced hereby or any other property or indebtedness due or to become due to
either Borrower. Each Borrower agrees that, without releasing or impairing
either Borrower's liability hereunder, Holder or Agent may at any time release,
surrender, substitute or exchange any Collateral securing this Note and may at
any time release any party primarily or secondarily liable for the indebtedness
evidenced by this Note.

     The rights of Holder and obligations of Borrowers hereunder shall be
construed in accordance with and governed by the laws (without giving effect to
the conflict of law principles thereof) of the State of New York.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrowers have caused this Note to be executed and
delivered by its duly authorized officers on the date first above written.

                                       BORROWERS:

responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations
made in or in connection with the Loan Agreement or the execution, legality,

assigned by it hereunder and that such interest is free and clear of any adverse
claim; [and] (iii) makes no representation or warranty and assumes no
responsibility with respect to the financial condition of Borrowers, the
