means any class of Capital Stock of a Person pursuant to which the holders
thereof have, at the time of determination, the general voting power under
ordinary circumstances to vote for the election of directors, managers,
trustees or general partners of such Person (irrespective of whether or not at

reason of the happening of any contingency).  Weighted Average Life
to Maturity means, when applied to any Indebtedness at any date, the
number of years obtained by dividing (i) the then outstanding principal
amount of such Indebtedness into (ii) the sum of each of the products
obtained by multiplying (x) the amount of each then remaining installment,
sinking fund, serial maturity or other required payments of principal,
including payment at final maturity, in respect thereof by (y) the number  51


of years
(calculated to the nearest one-twelfth) that will elapse between such date and
the scheduled due date of each such remaining payment.  Wholly-Owned
Subsidiary means, with respect to any Person, any Subsidiary of such
Person, all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of which (other than
qualifying shares required to be owned by directors of Foreign Subsidiaries, or
similar de minimisissuances of capital stock to
comply with Requirements of Law) are at the time owned directly or indirectly
by such Person and/or one or more Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries of such Person; provided,
that each of Huntsman Corporation Hungary Rt. and its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries
shall be deemed to be a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary.  For purposes of this definition, capital
stock shall include equivalent ownership or controlling interests having
ordinary voting power in entities other than corporations.  written or in
writing means any form of written communication or a communication by
means of telecopier device or authenticated telex, telegraph or cable.  The foregoing definitions
shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of the
defined terms.  In the computation of
periods of time from a specified date to a later specified date, the word from
means from and including and the words to and until each mean to but
excluding.  The words herein, hereof
and words of similar import as used in this Agreement shall refer to this
Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision in this
Agreement.  References to Articles, Sections,
paragraphs, Exhibits and Schedules in this Agreement shall refer to
Articles, Sections, paragraphs, Exhibits and Schedules of this Agreement unless
otherwise expressly provided; references to Persons include their respective
permitted successors and assigns or, in the case of governmental Persons,
Persons succeeding to the relevant functions of such persons; and all
references to statutes and related regulations shall include any amendments of
same and any successor statutes and regulations.  Unless otherwise expressly provided herein,
references to constitutive and Organizational Documents and to agreements
(including the Loan Documents) and other contractual instruments shall be
deemed to include subsequent amendments, restatements, extensions, supplements

restatements, extensions, supplements and other modifications are not
prohibited by any Loan Document.  9.2.Accounting Terms; Financial Statements  A.Except as otherwise expressly provided herein
(including without limitation, any modification to the terms hereof pursuant to
Section 8.12), all accounting terms used herein but not expressly
defined in this Agreement and all computations and determinations for purposes
of determining compliance with the financial requirements of this Agreement
shall be made in accordance with GAAP in effect on the date hereof and on a
basis consistent with the presentation of the financial statements and
projections delivered pursuant to, or otherwise referred to in, Sections 6.5(a) and
6.5(e).  Notwithstanding the
foregoing sentence, the financial statements required to be delivered pursuant
to Section 7.1 shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP as in

wherever any computation is to be made with respect to any Person and its
Subsidiaries, such computation shall be made so as to exclude all items of income,
loss, assets and liabilities  52


attributable to
any Person that is not a Subsidiary of such Person.  For purposes of the financial terms set forth
herein, whenever a reference is made to a determination which is required to be
made on a consolidated basis (whether in accordance with GAAP or otherwise) for
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, such determination shall be made as if each
Unrestricted Subsidiary were wholly-owned by a Person not an Affiliate of the
Borrower.  B.Solely for purposes of delivery of the financial
statements required by Sections 6.5, 7.1(a) and (b),
Unrestricted Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be Subsidiaries; provided, however,
concurrently with the delivery of the officers certificate required by Section 7.2(b),
for purposes of calculating compliance with the financial covenants hereof,
Borrower shall also deliver to Administrative Agent statements excluding the
Unrestricted Subsidiaries, and, upon request of Administrative Agent,
reflecting the relevant calculations pertaining to the Unrestricted
Subsidiaries existing on the Effective Date, in each case in form and substance
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.  C.Without limiting the definition of Pro Forma Basis,
for purposes of computing the financial ratios as of the end of any period, all
components of such ratios for the applicable period shall include or exclude,
as the case may be, without duplication, such components of such ratios
attributable to any business or assets that have been acquired or disposed of
by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower (including through mergers or
consolidations) after the first day of such period and prior to the end of such
period on a pro forma basis, as if such acquisition or disposition had occurred
on the first day of such period, as determined in good faith by the Borrower
and certified to by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower to the Administrative
Agent.  SECTION 10  AMOUNT
AND TERMS OF CREDIT  10.1.The Commitments  A.Term B Loan.  (a)Subject to the terms and conditions
hereof and in the Third Amendment, each Term B Dollar Lender agrees to make a
loan in Dollars (the Term B Dollar Loans) to the Borrower on the Third
Amendment Effective Date in the aggregate principal amount of such Lenders
Term B Dollar Commitment.  No amount of a
Term B Loan which is repaid or prepaid by the Borrower may be reborrowed
hereunder.  The Term B Dollar Loans shall
be denominated in Dollars, shall be maintained as and/or converted into Base
Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Loans or a combination thereof, provided,
that all Term B Dollar Loans made by the Term B Dollar Lenders pursuant to the
same Borrowing shall, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, consist
entirely of Term B Dollar Loans of the same Type.  (b)(A) The Borrower shall have the
right at any time following the date on which the Administrative Agent notifies
the Borrower that the initial  53


syndication of the Loans
and Commitments with respect to this Agreement has occurred to the
Administrative Agents satisfaction (so long as (x) no Unmatured Event of
Default or Event of Default then exists and is continuing, (y) the
Borrower shall have delivered to Administrative Agent a Compliance Certificate
for the period of four full Fiscal Quarters immediately preceding the
incurrence described below (prepared in good faith and in a manner and using
such methodology which is consistent with the most recent financial statements
delivered pursuant to Section 7.1) giving pro forma effect to such
incurrence and evidencing compliance with the covenant set forth in Article IX)
and (z) such incurrence is not prohibited by the terms of any Public Note
Document), to incur from one or more existing Lenders and/or other Persons that
are Eligible Assignees and which, in each case, agree to make such term loans
to the Borrower, Additional Term Loans in Dollars or Euros (in maximum amounts
described below), which loans may be incurred as one or more tranches of
additional term loans as determined by Administrative Agent in an aggregate
principal amount not to exceed $1,000,000,000 so long as the proceeds of such
Additional Term Loans are used solely for (i) capital expenditures, (ii) repayment
of secured Indebtedness of the Borrower, (iii) repayment of Senior Notes
(2012) and (iv) to finance Acquisitions permitted by Section 8.3(b) hereof.  (B) In
the event that the Borrower desires to incur Additional Term Loans, the
Borrower will enter into an amendment with the lenders (who shall by execution
thereof become Lenders hereunder if not theretofore Lenders) to provide for
such Additional Term Loans, which amendment shall set forth any terms and
conditions of the Additional Term Loans not covered by this Agreement as agreed
by the Borrower and such Lenders, and shall provide for the issuance of
promissory notes to evidence the Additional Term Loans if requested by the
lenders advancing Additional Term Loans (which notes shall constitute Term
Notes for purposes of this Agreement) and for such reaffirmations of or
amendments to Security Documents as Administrative Agent may reasonably
require, with such amendment to be in form and substance reasonably acceptable
to Administrative Agent and consistent with the terms of this Section 2.1(a)(ii) and
of the other provisions of this Agreement. 
No consent of any Lender (other than any Lender making Additional Term
Loans) is required to permit the Loans contemplated by this Section 2.1(a)(ii) or
the aforesaid amendment to effectuate the Additional Term Loans.  This section shall supersede any provisions
contained in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 12.1,
to the contrary.  B.Revolving Loans.  Each
Revolving Lender, severally and for itself alone, hereby agrees, on the terms
and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth and in reliance upon the
representations and warranties set forth herein and in the other Loan
Documents, to make loans to the Borrower denominated in Dollars or an
Alternative Currency on a revolving basis from time to time during the
Commitment Period, in an amount that will not (i) exceed its Pro Rata
Share of the Total Available Revolving Commitment (each such loan by any
Lender, a Revolving Loan and collectively, the Revolving Loans)
or (ii) cause the Assigned Dollar Value of Revolving Loans, Swing Line
Loans and LC Obligations denominated in an Alternative  54


Currency to exceed
$200,000,000.  All Revolving Loans
comprising the same Borrowing hereunder shall be made by the Revolving Lenders
simultaneously and in proportion to their respective Revolving
Commitments.  Prior to the Revolver
Termination Date, Revolving Loans may be repaid and reborrowed by the Borrower
in accordance with the provisions hereof and, except as otherwise specifically
provided in Section 3.6, all Revolving Loans comprising the same
Borrowing shall at all times be of the same Type.  On the Revolver Termination Date, 100% of the
aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans then outstanding shall be due and
payable.  C.Swing Line Loans  (a)Swing Line Commitment. 
Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender in its
individual capacity agrees to make swing line loans in Dollars, Euros or
Sterling (or, at the option of the Swing Line Lender, any other Alternative
Currency) (Swing Line Loans) to the Borrower on any Business Day from
time to time during the Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount at
any one time outstanding not to exceed the Dollar Equivalent of the Swing Line
Lender Sublimit; provided, however, that in no event may the
amount of any Borrowing of Swing Line Loans (A) exceed the Total Available
Revolving Commitment immediately prior to such Borrowing (after giving effect
to the use of proceeds thereof), (B) cause the outstanding Revolving Loans
of any Lender, when added to such Lenders Pro Rata Share of the then
outstanding Swing Line Loans and Pro Rata Share of the aggregate LC Obligations
(exclusive of Unpaid Drawings relating to LC Obligations which are repaid with
the proceeds of, and simultaneously with the incurrence of, Revolving Loans or
Swing Line Loans) to exceed such Lenders Revolving Commitment or (C) cause
the Assigned Dollar Value of Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and LC Obligations
denominated in an Alternative Currency to exceed $150,000,000.  Amounts borrowed by the Borrower under this Section 2.1(c)(i) may
be repaid and reborrowed until the Revolver Termination Date.  (b)Refunding of Swing Line Loans. 
The Swing Line Lender, at any time in its sole and absolute discretion,
may on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the Swing Line
Lender to so act on its behalf) notify each Revolving Lender (including the
Swing Line Lender) to make a Revolving Loan in an amount equal to such Lenders
Pro Rata Share of the Dollar Equivalent of the principal amount of such Swing
Line Loans (the Refunded Swing Line Loans) outstanding on the date
such notice is given, provided, however, that such notice shall
be deemed to have automatically been given upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default under Sections 10.1(e) or 10.1(f) or upon the
occurrence of a Change of Control. 
Unless any of the events described in Sections 10.1(e) or 10.1(f) shall
have occurred (in which event the procedures of Section 2.1(c)(iii) shall
apply) and regardless of whether the conditions precedent set forth in this
Agreement to the making of a Revolving Loan are then satisfied, each Lender
shall make the proceeds of its Revolving Loan available to the Swing Line
Lender at the Payment Office prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, in
funds immediately available on the third Business Day next succeeding the date
such  55


notice is given.  The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be
immediately applied to repay the Refunded Swing Line Loans.  (c)Participation in Swing Line Loans. 
If, prior to refunding a Swing Line Loan with a Revolving Loan pursuant
to Section 2.1(c)(ii), one of the events described in Sections
10.1(e) or 10.1(f) shall have occurred, or if for any
other reason a Revolving Loan cannot be made pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(ii),
then, subject to the provisions of Section 2.1(c)(iv) below,
each Revolving Lender will, on the date such Revolving Loan was to have been
made, purchase (without recourse or warranty) from the Swing Line Lender an
undivided participation interest in the Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to
its Pro Rata Share of the Dollar Equivalent of such Swing Line Loan.  Upon request, each Revolving Lender will
immediately transfer to the Swing Line Lender, in immediately available funds,
the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof the Swing Line Lender
will deliver to such Revolving Lender a Swing Line Loan Participation
Certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount.  (d)Lenders Obligations Unconditional. 
Each Revolving Lenders obligation to make Revolving Loans in accordance
with Section 2.1(c)(ii) and to purchase participating interests
in accordance with Section 2.1(c)(iii) above shall, except as
set forth in the last sentence of this clause (iv), be absolute and
unconditional and shall not, except as set forth in the last sentence of this
clause (iv), be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (A) any
set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving
Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person
for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of any Event
of Default or Unmatured Event of Default; (C) any adverse change in the
condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower or any other Person; (D) any
breach of this Agreement by the Borrower or any other Person; (E) any
inability of the Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to borrowing set
forth in this Agreement on the date upon which such participating interest is
to be purchased or (F) any other circumstance, happening or event
whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.  If any Revolving Lender does not make
available to the Swing Line Lender the amount required pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(ii) or
(iii) above, as the case may be, the Swing Line Lender shall be
entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Lender, together
with interest thereon for each day from the date of non-payment until such
amount is paid in full at the Federal Funds Rate for the first two Business
Days and at the Base Rate thereafter. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.1(c)(iv),
no Revolving Lender shall be required to make a Revolving Loan to the Borrower
for the purpose of refunding a Swing Line Loan pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(ii) above
or to purchase a participating interest in a Swing Line Loan pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(iii) if
an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and, prior to the making by the Swing Line Lender of such Swing Line
Loan, the Swing Line Lender has received written notice from such Revolving
Lender specifying that such Event of Default or Unmatured Event  56


of Default has occurred
and is continuing, describing the nature thereof and stating that, as a result
thereof, such Revolving Lender shall cease to make such Refunded Swing Line
Loans and purchase such participating interests, as the case may be; provided,
however, that the obligation of such Revolving Lender to make such
Refunded Swing Line Loans and to purchase such participating interests shall be
reinstated upon the earlier to occur of (y) the date upon which such
Revolving Lender notifies the Swing Line Lender that its prior notice has been
withdrawn and (z) the date upon which the Event of Default or Unmatured
Event of Default specified in such notice no longer is continuing.  D.Term C Loans.  Subject to
the terms and conditions hereof and in the Fourth Amendment, each Term C Dollar
Lender agrees to make a loan in Dollars (the Term C Dollar Loans) to
the Borrower on the Fourth Amendment Effective Date in the aggregate principal
amount of such Lenders Term C Dollar Commitment.  No amount of a Term C Dollar Loan which is
repaid or prepaid by the Borrower may be reborrowed hereunder.  The Term C Dollar Loans shall be denominated
in Dollars, shall be maintained as and/or converted into Base Rate Loans or
Eurocurrency Loans or a combination thereof, provided, that all Term C
Dollar Loans made by the Term C Dollar Lenders pursuant to the same Borrowing
shall, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, consist entirely of Term
C Dollar Loans of the same Type.  10.2.Notes  A.Evidence of Indebtedness. 
The Borrowers obligation to pay the principal of and interest on all
the Loans made to it by each Lender shall, if requested by a Lender, be
evidenced, (1) if Term B Dollar Loans, by a promissory note (each, a Term
B Dollar Note and, collectively, the Term B Dollar Notes) duly
executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.2(a)(1) hereto,
with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith, (2) if
Revolving Loans, by a promissory note (each, a Revolving Note and,
collectively, the Revolving Notes) duly executed and delivered by the
Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.2(a)(2) hereto,
with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith and (3) if
Swing Line Loans, by a promissory note (each, a Swing Line Note and,
collectively, the Swing Line Notes) duly executed and delivered by the
Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.2(a)(3) hereto,
with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith.  B.Notation of Payments.  Each Lender
will note on its internal records the amount of each Loan made by it, and each
payment in respect thereof and will, prior to any transfer of any of its Notes,
endorse on the reverse side thereof the outstanding principal amount of Loans
evidenced thereby.  Failure to make any
such notation, or any error in any such notation, shall not affect the Borrowers
or any guarantors obligations hereunder or under the other applicable Loan
Documents in respect of such Loans.  10.3.Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing; Maximum
Number of Borrowings  The aggregate principal
amount of each Borrowing by the Borrower hereunder shall be not less than the
Minimum Borrowing Amount and, if greater (other than with respect to  57


Swing Line Loans),
shall be in integral multiples of (i) in the case of a Borrowing in
Dollars, $1,000,000, (ii) in the case of a Borrowing in Sterling,
£750,000, or (iii) in the case of a Borrowing in Euros, 1,000,000, above
such minimum (or, if less, the then Total Available Revolving Commitment).  More than one Borrowing may be incurred on
any date; provided that at no time shall there be outstanding more than
six Borrowings of Eurocurrency Loans for any Facility.  10.4.Interest Rate Options  The Term Loans and the
Revolving Loans shall, at the option of the Borrower except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement, be (i) Base Rate Loans, (ii) Eurocurrency
Loans, or (iii) part Base Rate Loans and part Eurocurrency Loans; provided,
that non-Dollar denominated Revolving Loans may only be made as Eurocurrency
Loans.  Dollar denominated Swing Line
Loans shall be made only as Base Rate Loans. 
Non-Dollar denominated Swing Line Loans shall bear interest at the
applicable Quoted Rate and shall have such interest periods and interest
payment dates as are determined by the Swing Line Lender and the Borrower at
the time of Borrowing thereof.  As to any
Eurocurrency Loan, any Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill its commitment by
causing a foreign branch or affiliate to make or continue such Loan, provided
that in such event that Lenders Loan shall, for the purposes of this
Agreement, be considered to have been made by that Lender and the obligation of
the Borrower to repay that Lenders Loan shall nevertheless be to that Lender
and shall be deemed held by that Lender, for the account of such branch or
affiliate.  10.5.Notice of Borrowing  Whenever the Borrower
desires to make a Borrowing of any Loan hereunder, it shall give the
Administrative Agent at its office located at the Notice Office (or such other
address as the Administrative Agent may hereafter designate in writing to the
parties hereto) at least one Business Days prior written notice (or telephonic
notice promptly confirmed in writing), given not later than 1:00 p.m. (New
York City time) of each Base Rate Loan, and at least three Business Days prior
written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing), given not
later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time), of each Dollar denominated
Eurocurrency Loan to be made hereunder and at least four Business Days prior
written notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed in writing) given not
later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time), of each Loan denominated in an
Alternative Currency; provided, however, that a Notice of
Borrowing with respect to the Initial Borrowing may, at the discretion of the
Administrative Agent, be delivered later than the time specified above.  Whenever the Borrower desires that the Swing
Line Lender make a Swing Line Loan under Section 2.1(c), it shall
deliver to the Swing Line Lender prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time)
on the date of Borrowing (at least two Business Days prior to the date of
Borrowing for Swing Line Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency) written
notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing).  Each such notice (each a Notice of
Borrowing), which shall be in the form of Exhibit 2.5 hereto,
shall be irrevocable, shall be deemed a representation by the Borrower that all
conditions precedent to such Borrowing have been satisfied and shall specify (i) the
aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing, (ii) the
date of Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day),  (iii) whether the Loans being made
pursuant to such Borrowing are to be Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Loans or
both, (iv) with respect to Eurocurrency Loans, the  58


Interest Period to
be applicable thereto, (v) with respect to Revolving Loans, the amount of
the Overdraft Reserve at such time and (vi) the account details of the
Borrower.  The Administrative Agent shall
as promptly as practicable give each Lender written or telephonic notice
(promptly confirmed in writing) of each proposed Borrowing, of such Lenders
Pro Rata Share thereof and of the other matters covered by the Notice of
Borrowing.  Without in any way limiting
the Borrowers obligation to confirm in writing any telephonic notice, the
Administrative Agent or the Swing Line Lender (in the case of Swing Line Loans)
may act without liability upon the basis of telephonic notice believed by the
Administrative Agent in good faith to be from a Responsible Officer of the
Borrower prior to receipt of written confirmation.  The Administrative Agents records shall,
absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower with
respect to evidence of the terms of such telephonic Notice of Borrowing.  10.6.Conversion or Continuation  With respect to Dollar
denominated Loans (other than Swing Line Loans), the Borrower may elect (i) on
any Business Day at any time after the earlier of (x) the third Business
Day following the Closing Date and (y) the date the Administrative Agent
notifies the Borrower that Base Rate Loans or any portion thereof may be
converted to Eurocurrency Loans and (ii) at the end of any Interest Period
with respect thereto, to convert Eurocurrency Loans or any portion thereof into
Base Rate Loans or to continue such Eurocurrency Loans or any portion thereof
for an additional Interest Period; provided, however, that the
aggregate principal amount of the Eurocurrency Loans that will, upon such
conversion, constitute a single Borrowing that must satisfy Section 2.3.  With respect to Euro or Sterling denominated
Loans, the Borrower may elect, in the same manner as described for conversions,
to continue such Eurocurrency Loans or any portion thereof for an additional
Interest Period.  Each conversion or
continuation of Loans of each applicable Facility shall be allocated among the
Loans of the Lenders for such Facility in accordance with their respective Pro
Rata Shares.  Each such election shall be
in substantially the form of Exhibit 2.6 hereto (a Notice of Conversion
or Continuation) and shall be made by giving the Administrative Agent at
least three Business Days (or one Business Day in the case of a conversion
into Base Rate Loans or four Business Days in the case of continuation of a
non-Dollar denominated Revolving Loan) prior written notice thereof to the
Notice Office given not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time)
specifying (i) the amount and type of conversion or continuation, (ii) in
the case of a conversion to or a continuation of Eurocurrency Loans, the
Interest Period therefor, and (iii) in the case of a conversion, the date
of conversion (which date shall be a Business Day and, if a conversion from
Eurocurrency Loans, shall also be the last day of the Interest Period
therefor).  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no conversion in whole or in part of Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency
Loans, and no continuation in whole or in part of Dollar denominated
Eurocurrency Loans upon the expiration of any Interest Period therefor, shall
be permitted at any time at which an Unmatured Event of Default or an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 
The Borrower shall not be entitled to specify an Interest Period in
excess of one month for any non-Dollar denominated Revolving Loan if an
Unmatured Event of Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing.  If, within the time period
required under the terms of this Section 2.6, the Administrative
Agent does not receive a Notice of Conversion or Continuation from the Borrower
containing a permitted election to continue any Eurocurrency Loans for an
additional Interest Period or to convert any such Loans, then, upon the
expiration of the Interest Period therefor, such Loans will be automatically
converted to Base Rate Loans or, in the case of non-Dollar denominated
Revolving Loans, Eurocurrency  59


Loans with an
Interest Period of one month.  Each
Notice of Conversion or Continuation shall be irrevocable.  10.7.Disbursement of Funds  No later than 1:00 p.m.
(local time at the place of funding) on the date specified in each Notice of
Borrowing, each Lender will make available its Pro Rata Share of Loans, to fund
the Borrowing requested to be made on such date in Dollars, Euro or Sterling,
as the case may be, and in immediately available funds, at the Payment Office
(for the account of such non-U.S. office of the Administrative Agent as the
Administrative Agent may direct in the case of Eurocurrency Loans) and the
Administrative Agent will make available to the Borrower at its Payment Office
the aggregate of the amounts so made available by the Lenders not later than
2:00 p.m. (local time in the place of payment).  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have
been notified by any Lender at least one Business Day prior to the date of
Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the
Administrative Agent such Lenders portion of the Borrowing to be made on such
date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount
available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing and the
Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount.  If such corresponding amount is not in fact
made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender on the date of
Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such
corresponding amount on demand from such Lender.  If such Lender does not pay such
corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agents demand therefor,
the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and, if so
notified, the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the
Administrative Agent.  The Administrative
Agent shall also be entitled to recover from the Borrower interest on such
corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding
amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the
date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a
rate per annum equal to the rate for Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Loans,
applicable to the Type of Loan to which such corresponding amount related, for
the period in question; provided, however, that any interest paid
to the Administrative Agent in respect of such corresponding amount shall be
credited against interest payable by the Borrower to such Lender under Section 3.1
in respect of such corresponding amount. 
Any amount due hereunder to the Administrative Agent from any Lender
which is not paid when due shall bear interest payable by such Lender, from the
date due until the date paid, at the Federal Funds Rate for amounts in Dollars
(and at the Administrative Agents cost of funds for amounts in Euros or
Sterling or any other Alternative Currency) for the first three days after the
date such amount is due and thereafter at the Federal Funds Rate (or such cost
of funds rate) plus 1%, together with the Administrative Agents standard
interbank processing fee.  Further, such
Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments made of principal
and interest on its Loans, amounts due with respect to its Letters of Credit
(or its participations therein) and any other amounts due to it hereunder first
to the Administrative Agent to fund any outstanding Loans made available on
behalf of such Lender by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.7
until such Loans have been funded (as a result of such assignment or otherwise)
and then to fund Loans of all Lenders other than such Lender until each Lender
has outstanding Loans equal to its Pro Rata Share of all Loans (as a result of
such assignment or otherwise).  Such
Lender shall not have recourse against the Borrower with respect to any amounts
paid to the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to the  60


preceding
sentence; provided, that such Lender shall have full recourse against
the Borrower to the extent of the amount of such Loans such Lender has been
deemed to have made pursuant to the preceding sentence.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any
Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment hereunder or to prejudice
any rights which the Borrower may have against the Lender as a result of any
default by such Lender hereunder.  10.8.Pro Rata Borrowings  All Borrowings in respect
of Loans (other than Swing Line Loans) under this Agreement shall be advanced
by the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their Commitments to the applicable
Facilities.  No Lender shall be
responsible for the failure of any Defaulting Lender or Impaired Lender to make
a Loan required under this Agreement and each Lender shall be obligated to make
the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the occurrence of
any Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender or an Impaired Lender.  10.9.Amount and Terms of Letters of Credit  A.Letter of Credit Commitments, Terms of Letters of
Credit.  (a)Subject to and upon the terms and
conditions herein set forth, at any time and from time to time on or after the
Closing Date until a date which is thirty (30) days prior to the Revolver
Termination Date, each Facing Agent  
(other than DB) agrees, severally not jointly, to issue each in its own
name, but for the ratable account of all Revolving Lenders (including the
applicable Facing Agent), one or more Letters of Credit, denominated in Dollars
or an Alternative Currency, for the account of the Borrower in a Stated Amount
which together with the aggregate Stated Amount of all other Letters of Credit
(other than Fifth Amendment Existing Letters of Credit) then outstanding does not
exceed the Facing Agent Sublimit; provided, however, that a Facing Agent
shall not issue or extend the expiration of any Letter of Credit if,
immediately after giving effect to such issuance or extension, (A) the sum
of the Assigned Dollar Value of the Revolving Loans, the Swing Line Loans and
the LC Obligations would exceed the Total Revolving Commitment minus the
Overdraft Reserve and (B) the sum of the Assigned Dollar Value of the LC
Obligations would exceed the Total Revolving Commitment on the date of such
issuance or extension.  Each Revolving
Lender severally, but not jointly, agrees to participate in each such Letter of
Credit issued by the applicable Facing Agent in an amount equal to its Pro Rata
Share and to make available to the applicable Facing Agent such Lenders Pro
Rata Share of any payment made to the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit to
the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower; provided, however,
that no Revolving Lender shall be required to participate in any Letter of
Credit to the extent that such participation therein would exceed such
Revolving Lenders then applicable Available Revolving Commitment.  No Lenders obligation to participate in any
Letter of Credit or to make available to the applicable Facing Agent such
Revolving Lenders Pro Rata Share of any Letter of Credit Payment made by the
applicable Facing Agent shall be affected by any other Revolving Lenders
failure to participate in the same or any other Letter of Credit or by any  61


other Revolving Lenders
failure to make available to the applicable Facing Agent such other Lenders
Pro Rata Share of any Letter of Credit Payment.  (b)Each Letter of Credit issued or to be
issued hereunder shall be issued on a sight basis, and (other than Bank
Guarantees) shall have an expiration date of one (1) year or less from the
issuance date thereof; provided, however, that each Standby
Letter of Credit may provide by its terms that it will be automatically
extended for additional successive periods of up to one (1) year unless
the applicable Facing Agent shall have given notice to the applicable
beneficiary (with a copy to the Borrower) of the election by the applicable
Facing Agent (such election to be in the sole and absolute discretion of the
applicable Facing Agent) not to extend such Letter of Credit, such notice to be
given prior to the then current expiration date of such Letter of Credit; provided,
further, that no Standby Letter of Credit or extension thereof shall be
stated to expire later than the date five (5) days prior to the Revolver
Termination Date and no Commercial Letter of Credit or extension thereof shall
be stated to expire later than the day thirty (30) days prior to the Revolver
Termination Date.  B.Procedure for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of
Credit.  Whenever the Borrower desires the issuance of
a Letter of Credit hereunder, it shall give the Administrative Agent and the
applicable Facing Agent at least three (3) Business Days prior written
notice (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Borrower,  the Administrative Agent and the applicable
Facing Agent) specifying the day of issuance thereof (which day shall be a
Business Day), such notice to be given prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York time)
on the date specified for the giving of such notice.  Each such notice (each, a Notice of
Issuance) shall be in the form of Exhibit 2.9(b) hereto
and shall specify (A) the proposed issuance date and expiration date, (B) whether
such Letter of Credit is to be issued as a letter of credit or bank guarantee, (C) the
Borrower as the account party and, if desired by the Borrower, one or more
Subsidiaries as additional account parties, (D) the name and address of
the beneficiary, (E) the Stated Amount of such proposed Letter of Credit, (F) the
currency in which such proposed Letter of Credit is to be issued and (G) such
other information as the applicable Facing Agent may reasonably request.  In addition, each Notice of Issuance shall
contain a description of the terms and conditions to be included in such
proposed Letter of Credit (all of which terms and conditions shall be
acceptable in form to the applicable Facing Agent).  In the event of any inconsistency between the
terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form
of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the
Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, a Facing Agent (other than
DB) relating to any Letter of Credit issued by it, the terms and conditions of
this Agreement shall control.  Promptly
after issuance or extension of any Letter of Credit, the Borrower and the
applicable Facing Agent (to the extent such Facing Agent is not the same entity
as, or an Affiliate of, the Administrative Agent) shall notify the
Administrative Agent of such issuance or extension and such notice of a Standby
Letter of Credit shall be accompanied by a copy of the Standby Letter of
Credit.  Unless otherwise specified, all
Standby Letters of Credit and Commercial Letters of Credit will be governed by
the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits and all Bank
Guarantees will be governed by the Uniform Rules for Demand Guarantees,
in each case as issued by the International Chamber of Commerce and as in
effect on the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit.  On the Business Day specified by the Borrower
and upon confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the  62


applicable
conditions set forth in Article V have been fulfilled or waived,
the applicable Facing Agent will issue the requested Letter of Credit to the
applicable beneficiary.  From time to
time while a Letter of Credit is outstanding and prior to the Revolver
Termination Date, the applicable Facing Agent will, upon the written request of
the Borrower received by the Facing Agent (with a copy sent by the Borrower to
the Administrative Agent) at least three Business Days (or such shorter time as
the Facing Agent and the Administrative Agent may agree in a particular
instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed date of amendment,
amend any Letter of Credit issued by it. 
Each such request for amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be made by
facsimile, confirmed immediately in an original writing and shall specify in
form and detail satisfactory to the Facing Agent: (i) the Letter of Credit
to be amended; (ii) the proposed date of amendment of the Letter of Credit
(which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the nature of the proposed
amendment; and (iv) such other matters as the Facing Agent may
require.  The Facing Agent shall be under
no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if: (A) the Facing Agent would
have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended
form under the terms of this Agreement, or (B) the beneficiary of any such
Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to the Letter of
Credit.  The Facing Agent will provide a
copy of any amendment to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent
will promptly notify the Lenders of the receipt by it of any amendment to a
Letter of Credit.  In the event that the
Facing Agent is other than the Administrative Agent, such Facing Agent will
send by facsimile transmission to the Administrative Agent, promptly on the
first Business Day of each week its daily maximum Dollar Equivalent amount
available to be drawn under the Commercial Letters of Credit issued by such
Facing Agent for the previous week.  The
Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender upon such calendar month end,
and upon each commercial letter of credit fee payment, a report setting forth
the daily maximum Dollar Equivalent amount available to be drawn for all Facing
Agents during such period.  C.Draws upon Letters of Credit; Reimbursement Obligation. 
In the event of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by the
beneficiary thereof, the applicable Facing Agent shall give telephonic notice
to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (x) confirming such drawing
and (y) of the date on or before which such Facing Agent intends to honor
such drawing, and the Borrower shall reimburse the applicable Facing Agent on
the day on which such drawing is honored in an amount in same day funds equal
to the amount of such drawing (each such amount so paid until reimbursed, an Unpaid
Drawing); provided, however, that, anything contained in
this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) unless the Borrower
shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the applicable Facing Agent
prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day on which the
applicable Facing Agent intends to honor such drawing that the Borrower intends
to reimburse the applicable Facing Agent for the amount of such drawing with
funds other than the proceeds of Revolving Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed
to have timely given a Notice of Borrowing to the Administrative Agent
requesting each Revolving Lender to make Dollar denominated Base Rate Loans on
the date on which such drawing is honored in an amount equal to the Dollar
Equivalent of the amount of such drawing and the Administrative Agent shall, if
such Notice of Borrowing is deemed given, promptly notify the Lenders thereof
and (ii) unless any of the events described in Section 10.1(e) or
10.1(f) shall have occurred (in which event the procedures of Section 2.9(d) shall
apply), each such Lender shall, on the date such drawing is honored, make
Revolving Loans which are Base Rate Loans in the amount of its Pro Rata Share
of the Dollar Equivalent of such drawing, the proceeds of which shall be
applied directly by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the  63


applicable Facing
Agent for the amount of such drawing; and provided, further,
that, if for any reason, proceeds of Revolving Loans are not received by the
applicable Facing Agent on such date in an amount equal to the amount of the
Dollar Equivalent of such drawing, the Borrower shall reimburse the applicable
Facing Agent, on the Business Day immediately following the date such drawing
is honored, in an amount in same day funds equal to the excess of the amount of
the Dollar Equivalent of such drawing over the Dollar Equivalent of the amount
of such Revolving Loans, if any, which are so received, plus accrued interest
on such amount at the rate set forth in Section 3.1(a).  D.Lenders Participation in Letters of Credit. 
In the event that (1) the Borrower shall fail to reimburse the
applicable Facing Agent as provided in Section 2.9(c) in an
amount equal to the amount of any drawing honored by the applicable Facing
Agent under a Letter of Credit issued by it in accordance with the terms
hereof, or (2) any Bank Guarantee shall remain outstanding on the Revolver
Termination Date, the applicable Facing Agent shall promptly notify the
Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each
Revolving Lender, of the unreimbursed amount of such drawing or the amount of
such Bank Guarantee, as applicable, and of such Lenders respective
participation therein.  Each such
Revolving Lender shall purchase a participation interest in such LC Obligation
and shall make available to the applicable Facing Agent the Dollar Equivalent
of an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such drawing in same day funds, at
the office of the applicable Facing Agent specified in such notice, in each
case not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day
after the date such Lender is notified by the Administrative Agent.  In the event that any such Lender fails to
make available to the applicable Facing Agent the amount of such Lenders
participation in such Letter of Credit as provided in this Section 2.9(d),
the applicable Facing Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand
from such Lender together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate for two
Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. 
Nothing in this Section 2.9(d) shall be deemed to
prejudice the right of any Lender to recover from the applicable Facing Agent
any amounts made available by such Lender to the applicable Facing Agent
pursuant to this Section 2.9(d) in the event that it is
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the payment with respect
to a Letter of Credit by the applicable Facing Agent in respect of which
payment was made by such Lender constituted gross negligence or willful
misconduct on the part of the applicable Facing Agent.  The applicable Facing Agent shall distribute
to each other Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under this Section 2.9(d) with
respect to any Letter of Credit issued by the applicable Facing Agent such
other Revolving Lenders Pro Rata Share of all payments received by the
applicable Facing Agent from the Borrower in reimbursement of drawings honored
by the applicable Facing Agent under such Letter of Credit when such payments
are received.  Each Lenders obligation
to make Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.9(c) or to
purchase participations pursuant to this Section 2.9(d) as a
result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit shall be absolute and
unconditional and without recourse to the applicable Facing Agent and shall not
be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any set-off, counterclaim,
recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the
Facing Agent, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the
occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default or a Material Adverse Effect;
or (iii) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or
not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each
Lenders obligation to make Revolving Loans under Section 2.9(c) is
subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.2.  64


E.Fees for Letters of Credit.  (a)Facing Agent Fees. 
The Borrower agrees to pay the following amount to the applicable Facing
Agent with respect to the Letters of Credit issued by it for the account of the
Borrower:  (i)with respect to drawings made under any
Letter of Credit, interest, payable on demand, on the amount paid by such
Facing Agent in respect of each such drawing from the date a drawing is honored
up to (but not including) the date such amount is reimbursed by the Borrower
(including any such reimbursement out of the proceeds of Revolving Loans, as
the case may be, pursuant to Section 2.9(c)) at a rate which is at
all times equal to 2% per annum in excess of the Base Rate;  (ii)with respect to the issuance or amendment
of each Letter of Credit and each payment made thereunder, documentary and
processing charges in accordance with the applicable Facing Agents standard
schedule for such charges in effect at the time of such issuance, amendment,
transfer or payment, as the case may be; and  (iii)a facing fee as agreed from time to time by the
Borrower and the applicable Facing Agent for the applicable Letter of Credit
or, with respect to DB as Facing Agent with respect to that portion of the
outstanding LC Obligations attributable to the Fifth Amendment Existing Letters
of Credit, a facing fee as may be separately agreed in writing between the
Borrower and DB, which fee, unless otherwise agreed, shall be payable with
respect to the Assigned Dollar Value of the maximum Stated Amount under such
outstanding Letters of Credit payable in arrears on each Quarterly Payment
Date, on the Revolver Termination Date and thereafter, on demand together with
customary issuance and payment charges payable pursuant to clause (B) above;
provided, however, if calculation of the facing fee in the manner
set forth above would result in a facing fee of less than $500 per year per
Letter of Credit issued by any Facing Agent, the Borrower shall be obligated to
pay such additional amount to such Facing Agent so as to provide for a minimum
facing fee of $500 per year per Letter of Credit.  (b)Participating Lender Fees. 
The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for distribution
to each participating Revolving Lender in respect of all Letters of Credit
outstanding such Revolving Lenders Revolving Pro Rata Share of a commission
equal to the then Applicable Eurocurrency Margin for Revolving Loans per annum
with respect to the maximum Stated Amount under such outstanding Letters of
Credit (the LC Commission), payable in Dollars in arrears on each
Quarterly Payment Date, on the Revolver Termination Date and thereafter, on
demand.  The LC Commission shall be
computed from the first day of issuance of each Letter of Credit and on the
basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days.  65


Promptly
upon receipt by a Facing Agent or the Administrative Agent of any amount
described in clause (i)(A) or (ii) of this Section 2.9(e), the
applicable Facing Agent or the Administrative Agent shall distribute to each
Revolving Lender its Pro Rata Share, as the case may be, of such amount as long
as, in the case of amounts described in clause (i)(A), such Lender has
reimbursed the applicable Facing Agent in accordance with Section 2.9(c).  Amounts payable under clause (i)(B) and (C) of
this Section 2.9(e) shall be paid directly to the applicable
Facing Agent.  F.LC Obligations Unconditional. 
The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse a Facing Agent (or any
Lender that has purchased a participation from or made a Loan to enable the
Borrower to reimburse the applicable Facing Agent) for drawings made under any
Letter of Credit issued by it and the obligations of each Lender to purchase
participations pursuant to Section 2.9(d) as a result of such
a drawing shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including,
without limitation, any of the following circumstances:  (a)any lack of validity or enforceability of
such Letter of Credit;  (b)the existence of any claim, setoff,
defense or other right which the Borrower or any of its Affiliates may have at
any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or
any persons or entities for which any such beneficiary or transferee may be
acting), the applicable Facing Agent, any Lender or any other Person, whether
in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any
unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between the
Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries and the beneficiary of such Letter of
Credit);  (c)any draft, demand, certificate or any
other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged,
fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein
being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;  (d)payment by the applicable Facing Agent
under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or
certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such
Letter of Credit;  (e)any other circumstance or happening
whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; or  (f)the fact that an Event of Default or an
Unmatured Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Borrower
nor the Lenders (other than the applicable Facing Agent in its capacity as
such) shall be liable for any obligation resulting from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of the applicable Facing Agent, as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction, with respect to any Letter of Credit.  66


G.Indemnification.  In addition
to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in this Agreement, the Borrower hereby
agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save the applicable Facing Agent and the
Lenders harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities,
damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including Attorney Costs) (other
than for Taxes, which shall be covered by Section 4.7) which the
applicable Facing Agent and the Lenders may incur or be subject to as a
consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of the Letters of
Credit, other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
the applicable Facing Agent, as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction, or (ii) the failure of the applicable Facing Agent to honor
a drawing under any Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omissions,
whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto
Governmental Authority (all such acts or omissions herein called Government
Acts) other than arising out of the gross negligence or willful
misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, of the
applicable Facing Agent.  As between the
Borrower on the one hand, and the applicable Facing Agent and the Lenders, on
the other hand, the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or
misuse of the Letters of Credit issued by the applicable Facing Agent or by the
respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the
foregoing, neither the applicable Facing Agent nor any of the Lenders shall be
responsible: (i) for the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness
or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the
application for and issuance of or any drawing under such Letters of Credit,
even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid,
insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) for the validity or
sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to
transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits
thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be
invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) for failure of the
beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions
required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) for errors,
omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages,
by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, or otherwise, whether or not they be in
cipher; (v) for errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) for
any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in
order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds
thereof; (vii) for the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such
Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit;
and (viii) for any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of
the applicable Facing Agent, including, without limitation, any Government
Acts.  None of the above shall effect,
impair, or prevent the vesting of any of the applicable Facing Agents or any
Lenders rights or powers hereunder.  In furtherance and
extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set
forth, any action taken or omitted by the applicable Facing Agent under or in
connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or the related certificates,
if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put the applicable Facing Agent
under any resulting liability to the Borrower. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
the Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify or hold harmless the
applicable Facing Agent in respect of any claims, demands, liabilities,
damages, losses, costs, charges or expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred
by the applicable Facing Agent to the extent arising out of the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of the applicable Facing Agent, as determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction.  The right of
indemnification in the first paragraph of this Section 2.9(g) shall
not prejudice any rights that the Borrower may otherwise have against the
applicable Facing Agent with respect to a Letter of Credit issued hereunder.  67


H.Stated Amount.  The Stated
Amount of each Letter of Credit shall not be less than the Dollar Equivalent of
One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) or such lesser amount as the applicable
Facing Agent has agreed to.  I.Increased Costs. 
Subject to Section 4.7, if any time after the date hereof
any Facing Agent or any Lender determines that the introduction of or any
change after the Closing Date in any applicable law, rule, regulation, order,
guideline or request or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any
Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof, or compliance by the applicable Facing Agent or such Lender with any
request or directive issued after the Closing Date by any such authority
(whether or not having the force of law), shall either (i) impose, modify
or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar
requirement against letters of credit issued by the applicable Facing Agent or
participated in by any Revolving Lender, or (ii) impose on the applicable
Facing Agent or any Revolving Lender any other conditions relating, directly or
indirectly, to the provisions of this Agreement relating to Letters of Credit
or any Letter of Credit; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase
the cost to the applicable Facing Agent or any Lender of issuing, maintaining
or participating in any Letter of Credit, or reduce the amount of any sum
received or receivable by the applicable Facing Agent or any Lender hereunder
or reduce the rate of return on its capital with respect to Letters of Credit,
then, upon demand to the Borrower by the applicable Facing Agent or any Lender
(a copy of which demand shall be sent by the applicable Facing Agent or such
Lender to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the applicable
Facing Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts
as will compensate the applicable Facing Agent or such Lender for such
increased cost or reduction in the amount receivable or reduction on the rate
of return on its capital.  In determining
such additional amounts pursuant to the preceding sentence, the applicable
Facing Agent or such Lender will act reasonably and in good faith and will, to
the extent the increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable or
reductions in rates of return relate to the Facing Agents or such Lenders
letters of credit in general and are not specifically attributable to the
Letters of Credit hereunder, use averaging and attribution methods which are
reasonable and which cover all letters of credit similar to the Letters of
Credit issued by or participated in by the applicable Facing Agent or such
Lender whether or not the documentation for such other Letters of Credit permit
the applicable Facing Agent or such Lender to receive amounts of the type
described in this Section 2.9(i). 
The applicable Facing Agent or any Lender, upon determining that any
additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.9(i),
will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall
include a certificate submitted to the Borrower by the applicable Facing Agent
or such Lender (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by the applicable
Facing Agent or such Lender to the Administrative Agent), setting forth in
reasonable detail the basis for the calculation of such additional amount or
amounts necessary to compensate the applicable Facing Agent or such Lender,
although failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish the
Borrowers obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.9(i);
provided, however, if the applicable Facing Agent or such Lender,
as applicable, has intentionally withheld or delayed such notice, the
applicable Facing Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall not be
entitled to receive additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.9(i) for
periods occurring prior to the 180th day before the giving of such notice.  The certificate required to be delivered
pursuant to this Section 2.9(i) shall, absent manifest error,
be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower.  68


J.Outstanding Letters of Credit. 
The letters of credit set forth under the caption Letters of Credit
outstanding on the Closing Date as set forth on Schedule 2.9(j) attached
to the First Amendment, were issued prior to the Closing Date pursuant to one
of the Prior Credit Agreements and will remain outstanding as of the Closing
Date and the letters of credit and bank guarantees set forth under the caption Letters
of Credit and Bank Guarantees outstanding on the First Amendment Effective Date
were issued pursuant to the credit facility of Huntsman Advanced Materials
Holdings LLC or otherwise issued by Facing Agent prior to the First Amendment
Effective Date and will remain outstanding as of the First Amendment Effective
Date (collectively, the Outstanding Letters of Credit).  The Borrower, each Facing Agent and each of
the Lenders hereby agree with respect to the Outstanding Letters of Credit that
each such Outstanding Letters of Credit, for all purposes under this Agreement,
shall, from and after the Closing Date, be deemed to be Letters of Credit
governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  Each Revolving Lender further agrees to
participate in each such Outstanding Letter of Credit in an amount equal to its
Pro Rata Share of the Stated Amount of such Outstanding Letters of Credit.  K.Fifth Amendment Existing Letters of Credit. 
The Borrower agrees that if DB receives any proceeds in respect of any
Letter of Credit providing credit support for a Fifth Amendment Existing Letter
of Credit, the Borrower will cause a reduction to occur in the amount of then
outstanding Fifth Amendment Existing Letters of Credit in an amount equal to
such proceeds.  10.10.Revolving Commitment Increase  A.Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein,
the Borrower shall have the right from time to time to cause an increase in the
Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders (a Revolving Commitment
Increase) by adding to this Agreement one or more additional Eligible
Assignees that are not already Revolving Lenders hereunder and that are
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, each Facing Agent and the
Swing Line Lender (each, a New Revolving Lender) or by allowing one or
more existing Revolving Lenders to increase their respective Revolving
Commitments; provided that (i) both before and immediately after
giving effect to such Revolving Commitment Increase, no Event of Default or
Unmatured Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of the
effective date of such Revolving Commitment Increase (such date, the Revolving
Commitment Increase Date), (ii) no such Revolving Commitment Increase
shall be in an amount less than $10,000,000 (unless the aggregate amount of the
Revolving Commitments then in effect is greater than $290,000,000), (iii) after
giving effect to such Revolving Commitment Increase, the aggregate amount of
the Revolving Commitments shall not exceed $300,000,000 and (iv) no
Revolving Lenders Revolving Commitment shall be increased without such
Revolving Lenders prior written consent (which consent may be given or
withheld in such Revolving Lenders sole and absolute discretion).  B.The Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent
with written notice (a Notice of Revolving Commitment Increase) of its
intention to increase the Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.10.  Each such Notice of Revolving Commitment
Increase shall specify (i) the proposed Revolving Commitment Increase
Date, which date shall be no earlier than five (5) Business Days after receipt
by the Administrative Agent of such  69


Notice of
Revolving Commitment Increase, (ii) the amount of the requested Revolving
Commitment Increase, (iii) as applicable, the identity of each New Revolving
Lender and Revolving Lender that has agreed in writing to increase its
Revolving Commitment hereunder, and (iv) the amount of the respective
Revolving Commitments of the then existing Revolving Lenders and the New
Revolving Lenders from and after the Revolving Commitment Increase Date.  C.On any Revolving Commitment Increase Date, the
Revolving Lenders shall purchase and assume (without recourse or warranty) from
the Revolving Lenders (i) Revolving Loans, to the extent that there are
any Revolving Loans then outstanding, and (ii) undivided participation
interests in any outstanding LC Obligations and any outstanding Swing Line
Loans, in each case, to the extent necessary to ensure that after giving effect
to the Revolving Commitment Increase, each Revolving Lender has outstanding
Revolving Loans and participation interests in outstanding LC Obligations and
Swing Line Loans equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Commitments.  Each Revolving Lender shall make any payment
required to be made by it pursuant to the preceding sentence via wire transfer
to the Administrative Agent on the Revolving Commitment Increase Date.  Each existing Revolving Lender (i) shall
be automatically deemed to have assigned any outstanding Revolving Loans on the
Revolving Commitment Increase Date and (ii) agrees to take any further
steps reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, in each case to the
extent deemed necessary by the Administrative Agent to effectuate the
provisions of the preceding sentences. 
If, on such Revolving Commitment Increase Date or Extension Effective
Date, any Revolving Loans have been funded, then the Borrower shall be
obligated to pay any breakage fees or costs that are payable pursuant to Section 3.5
in connection with the reallocation of such outstanding Revolving Loans to
effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.10(c).  D.Each Revolving Commitment Increase shall become
effective on its Revolving Commitment Increase Date and upon such
effectiveness: (i) the Administrative Agent shall record in the register
each then New Revolving Lenders information as provided in the applicable
Notice of Commitment Increase and pursuant to an administrative questionnaire
that shall be executed and delivered by each New Revolving Lender to the
Administrative Agent on or before such Revolving Commitment Increase Date, (ii) Schedule
1.1(a) hereof shall be amended and restated to set forth all Revolving
Lenders (including any New Revolving Lenders) that will be Revolving Lenders
hereunder after giving effect to such Revolving Commitment Increase (which
amended and restated Schedule 1.1(a) shall be set forth in Annex
I to the applicable Notice of Revolving Commitment Increase) and the
Administrative Agent shall distribute to each Revolving Lender (including each
New Revolving Lender) a copy of such amended and restated Schedule 1.1(a),
and (iii) each New Revolving Lender identified on the Notice of Revolving
Commitment Increase for such Revolving Commitment Increase shall be a Lender
and a Revolving Lender for all purposes under this Agreement.  E.As a condition precedent to any Revolving Commitment
Increase, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate
of the Borrower dated as of the Revolving Commitment Increase Date signed by a
Responsible Officer of the Borrower certifying and attaching the resolutions
adopted by the Borrower approving or consenting to such Revolving Commitment
Increase and certifying that, before and after giving effect to such Revolving
Commitment Increase, (i) the representations and warranties contained in Article VI  70


made by it are
true and correct on and as of the Revolving Commitment Increase Date, except to
the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an
earlier date and (ii) no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default
exists or will exist as of the Revolving Commitment Increase Date.  10.11.Extension of Stated Termination Date  A.At any time and from time to time, the Borrower may,
upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the
Revolving Lenders), request an extension of the Stated Termination Date then in
effect (such existing Stated Termination Date being the Existing Stated
Termination Date) to a date specified in such notice.  Within 10 Business Days of delivery of such
notice (or such other period as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall
mutually agree upon), each Revolving Lender shall notify the Administrative
Agent whether or not it consents to such extension (which consent may be given
or withheld in such Revolving Lenders sole and absolute discretion).  Any Revolving Lender not responding within
the above time period shall be deemed not to have consented to such extension.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify
the Borrower and the Revolving Lenders of the Revolving Lenders responses.  B.The Stated Termination Date shall be extended only if
the Majority Lenders of the Revolving Facility (calculated excluding any Impaired
Lender and after giving effect to any replacements of Revolving Lenders
pursuant to Section 4.1(c)) (the Revolving Lenders that so consent
being the Consenting Revolving Lenders and the Revolving Lenders that
declined being the Declining Revolving 
Lenders) have consented thereto. 
If so extended, the Stated Termination Date, as to the Consenting
Revolving Lenders, shall be extended to the date specified in the notice
referred to in Section 2.11(a) above, which shall become the
new Stated Termination Date as to such Consenting Revolving Lenders.  The Administrative Agent and the Borrower
shall promptly confirm to the Revolving Lenders such extension, specifying the
effective date of such extension (the Extension Effective Date), the
Existing Stated Termination Date, and the new Stated Termination Date (after
giving effect to such extension).  As a
condition precedent to such extension, the Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent (i) a certificate of the Borrower dated as of the
Extension Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower
certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Borrower approving or
consenting to such extension and certifying that, before and after giving
effect to such extension, the representations and warranties contained in Article VI
made by it are true and correct on and as of the Extension Effective Date,
except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically
refer to an earlier date, and no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default
exists or will exist as of the Extension Effective Date and (ii) if
requested by the Administrative Agent, a legal opinion reasonably satisfactory
to it.  The Borrower shall pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Declining Revolving Lender the
then unpaid principal amount of such Declining Revolving Lenders Revolving
Loans outstanding on the Existing Stated Termination Date (and pay any
additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.5).  In addition, (i) the Borrower shall
prepay any Revolving Loans outstanding on the Existing Stated Termination Date
(and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.5)
to the extent necessary to maintain outstanding Revolving Loans ratable with
any revised and new Pro Rata Shares of all the Revolving Lenders effective as
of the Existing Stated Termination Date and (ii) on the Existing Stated
Termination Date, the Risk  71


Participation (as
defined below) of each Declining Revolving Lender shall be transferred to and
assumed by the Consenting Revolving Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance
with their respective Revolving Commitments. 
Risk Participation means, at any date, the aggregate amount of funded
and unfunded obligations of any Revolving Lender to purchase participations
from or make payments for the account of (i) the Swing Line Lender
pursuant to Sections 2.1(c)(iii) and (iv) and (ii) any
Facing Agent pursuant to Section 2.9(d).  SECTION 11  INTEREST
AND FEES  11.1.Interest  A.Base Rate Loans.  The Borrower
agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Base
Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Base
Rate Margin, from the date the proceeds thereof are made available to the
Borrower (or, if such Base Rate Loan was converted from a Eurocurrency Loan,
the date of such conversion) until the earlier of (i) the maturity
(whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Base Rate Loan and (ii) the
conversion of such Base Rate Loan to a Eurocurrency Loan pursuant to Section 2.6.  B.Eurocurrency Loans.  The Borrower
agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each
Eurocurrency Loan at a rate per annum equal to the relevant Eurocurrency Rate
plus the Applicable Eurocurrency Margin, from the date the proceeds thereof are
made available to the Borrower (or, if such Eurocurrency Loan was converted
from a Base Rate Loan, the date of such conversion) until the earlier of (i) the
maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Eurocurrency Loan and (ii) the
conversion of such Eurocurrency Loan to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.6.  C.Payment of Interest.  Interest on
each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided,
however, that interest accruing pursuant to Section 3.1(e) and
as otherwise set forth in the penultimate sentence of this Section 3.1(c) shall
be payable from time to time on demand. 
Interest shall also be payable on all then outstanding Revolving Loans
on the Revolver Termination Date and on all Loans on the date of repayment
(including prepayment) thereof (except that accrued interest need not be paid
in connection with voluntary prepayments pursuant to Section 4.3 of
Swing Line Loans and Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans made on any day
other than a Quarterly Payment Date or the Revolver Termination Date; provided
such accrued interest is paid on the next Quarterly Payment Date) or on the
date of maturity (by acceleration or otherwise), as applicable, of such
Loans.  During the existence of any Event
of Default, interest on any Loan shall be payable on demand.  Interest to be paid with respect to Loans
denominated in (x) Dollars shall be paid in Dollars and (y) in an
Alternative Currency shall be in such Alternative Currency.  D.Notification of Rate.  The
Administrative Agent, upon determining the interest rate for any Borrowing of
Eurocurrency Loans for any Interest Period, shall promptly notify the Borrower
and the Lenders thereof.  Such
determination shall, absent manifest error and subject to Section 3.6,
be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto.  72


E.Default Interest. Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified
herein, effective on the date of the occurrence of any Event of Default and for
so long thereafter as any such Event of Default shall be continuing, and
effective immediately upon any failure to pay any Obligations or any other
amounts due under any of the Loan Documents when due, whether by acceleration
or otherwise, the principal balance of each Loan then outstanding and, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payment on each Loan not paid
when due or other amounts then due and payable shall bear interest payable on
demand, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to the
Default Rate.  F.Maximum Interest.  If any
interest payment or other charge or fee payable hereunder exceeds the maximum
amount then permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay
the maximum amount then permitted by applicable law and the Borrower shall
continue to pay the maximum amount from time to time permitted by applicable
law until all such interest payments and other charges and fees otherwise due
hereunder (in the absence of such restraint imposed by applicable law) have
been paid in full.  11.2.Fees  A.Commitment Fees.  The Borrower
shall pay to the Administrative Agent for pro rata distribution to each
Non-Impaired Lender having a Revolving Commitment (based on its Pro Rata Share)
a commitment fee (the Commitment Fee) for the period commencing on the
Closing Date to and including the Revolver Termination Date, computed at a rate
equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage per annum on the average
daily Total Available Revolving Commitment, which shall  be calculated based upon the time period as
to which such Commitment Fee is being paid. 
Unless otherwise specified, accrued Commitment Fees shall be due and
payable (i) on each Quarterly Payment Date occurring after the Closing
Date, (ii) on the Revolver Termination Date and (iii) upon any
reduction or termination in whole or in part of the Revolving Commitments, as
the case may be (but only, in the case of a reduction, on the portion of the
Revolving Commitments then being reduced).  B.Impaired Lender Fees. 
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as a Revolving
Lender is an Impaired Lender, such Impaired Lender shall not be entitled to any
fees accruing during such period pursuant to Section 3.2(a) and
Section 2.9(e) (without prejudice to the rights of the
Revolving Lenders other than Impaired Lenders in respect of such fees);
provided, that (i) to the extent that a Pro Rata Share of the LC Obligations
or Swing Line Loans of such Impaired Lender is reallocated to the Non-Impaired
Lenders pursuant to Section 3.8(a), such fees that would have
accrued for the benefit of such Impaired Lender will instead accrue for the
benefit of and be payable to such Non-Impaired Lenders, pro rata in accordance
with their respective Revolving Commitments, and (ii) to the extent any
portion of such LC Obligations or Swing Line Loans cannot be so reallocated and
the Borrower does not Cash Collateralize such portion in an amount not less
than 105% of the amount of such portion (or prepay such Swing Line Loans) or
make other arrangements pursuant to Section 3.8(a)(ii), then such
fees will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to the applicable
Facing Agent and the Swing Line Lender as their interests appear.  73


C.Arranger and Agency Fees. 
The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account
(or the account of its Affiliates), agency and other Loan fees in the amount
and at the times set forth in the Fifth Amendment Fee Letter.  11.3.Computation of Interest and Fees  Interest on all Loans and
fees payable hereunder shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of
days elapsed over a year of 360 days; provided that interest on all Base
Rate Loans  and Sterling denominated
Loans shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over
a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be. 
The Administrative Agent shall, at any time and from time to time upon
request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the
quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate
applicable to Revolving Loans pursuant to this Agreement.  Each change in the Applicable Base Rate
Margin or Applicable Eurodollar Margin or the Applicable Commitment Fee
Percentage or any change in the LC Commission as a result of a change in the
Borrowers Most Recent Leverage Ratio shall become effective on the date upon
which such change in such ratio occurs.  11.4.Interest Periods  At the time it gives any
Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion or Continuation with respect to
any Borrowing bearing interest with reference to the Eurocurrency Rate, the
Borrower shall elect, by giving the Administrative Agent written notice, the
interest period (each an Interest Period) applicable thereto, which
Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower, be one, two, three or six
months or, if available or otherwise satisfactory to each of the applicable
Lenders (as determined by each such applicable Lender in its sole discretion) a
nine or twelve month period, provided that:  (a)all Eurocurrency Loans comprising a
single Borrowing shall at all times have the same Interest Period;  (b)the initial Interest Period for any
Eurocurrency Loan shall commence on the date of such Borrowing of such
Eurocurrency Loan (including the date of any conversion thereto from a Loan of
a different Type) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of
such Eurocurrency Loan shall commence on the last day of the immediately
preceding Interest Period;  (c)if any Interest Period relating to a
Eurocurrency Loan begins on a day for which there is no numerically
corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period,
such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month;  (d)if any Interest Period would otherwise
expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire
on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that if
any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Loan would otherwise expire on a day
which 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;  74


(e)at any time when an Event of Default is
then in existence, no Interest Period (a) of more than one month may be
selected with respect to any Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency and (b) may
be selected with respect to any Loan denominated in Dollars;  (f)no Interest Period shall extend beyond
the applicable Term Maturity Date for any Term Loan or the Revolver Termination
Date for any Revolving Loan; and  (g)no Interest Period in respect of any
Borrowing of Term Loans for any Term Facility shall be selected which extends
beyond any date upon which a Scheduled Term Repayment will be required to be
made under Section 4.4(b) for such Term Facility if the
aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans which have Interest Periods which
will expire after such date will be in excess of the aggregate principal amount
of Term B Loans then outstanding less the aggregate amount of such required
prepayment.  Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein (i) with respect to Term B Dollar Loans, the
Borrower may only have Base Rate Loans and Eurocurrency Loans with a one month
Interest Period for the first 30 days after the Effective Date or, if earlier,
the date on which the Administrative Agent informs the Borrower of the
completion of the syndication of the Term B Dollar Loans and (ii) if
requested by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, in its discretion, may
offer Interest Periods shorter than one month.  11.5.Compensation for Funding Losses  The Borrower shall
compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth
the basis for requesting such amounts, showing the calculation thereof in
reasonable detail), for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including,
without limitation, any interest paid by such Lender to lenders of funds
borrowed by it to make or carry its Eurocurrency Loans to the extent not
recovered by the Lender in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of
such funds and including the compensation payable by such Lender to a
Participant) and any loss sustained by such Lender in connection with the
liquidation or re-employment of such funds (including, without limitation, a
return on such liquidation or re-employment that would result in such Lender
receiving less than it would have received had such Eurocurrency Loan remained
outstanding until the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such
Eurocurrency Loans) which such Lender may sustain as a result of: (i) the
continuation or Borrowing of, the conversion from or into, a Eurocurrency Loan
not occurring on the date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice
of Conversion or Continuation (whether or not withdrawn for any reason (other than
a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent)); (ii) any payment,
prepayment or conversion or continuation of any of its Eurocurrency Loans
occurring for any reason whatsoever on a date which is not the last day of an
Interest Period applicable thereto; (iii) any repayment of any of its
Eurocurrency Loans not being made on the date specified in a notice of payment
given by the Borrower; or (iv) (A) any other failure by the Borrower
to repay its Eurocurrency Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or
(B) an election made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.7; provided
that such written request, including the calculation as to additional amounts
owed such Lender under this Section 3.5, is  75


delivered to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender shall be delivered within
30 days of such event.  Absent manifest
error, such request shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes.  Calculation of all amounts payable to a
Lender under this Section 3.5 shall be made as though that Lender
had actually funded its relevant Eurocurrency Loan through the purchase of a
Eurocurrency deposit bearing interest at the Eurocurrency Rate in an amount
equal to the amount of that Loan, having a maturity comparable to the relevant
Interest Period and through the transfer of such Eurocurrency deposit from an
offshore office of that Lender to a domestic office of that Lender in the
United States of America; provided, however, that each Lender may
fund each of its Eurocurrency Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing
assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under
this Section 3.5.  11.6.Increased Costs, Illegality, Etc.  A.Generally. Except as provided in Section 4.7, in
the event that any Lender shall have determined, in its reasonable, good faith
judgment, (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and
conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but, with respect to clause (i) below,
may be made only by the Administrative Agent):  (a)on any Interest Rate Determination Date
that, by reason of any change arising after the date of this Agreement
affecting the interbank Eurocurrency market, adequate and fair means do not
exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for
in the definition of Eurocurrency Rate; or  (b)at any time that such Lender shall incur
increased costs or reduction in the amounts received or receivable hereunder
with respect to any Eurocurrency Loan because of (x) any change arising
after the date of this Agreement in any applicable law or governmental rule,
regulation, order, guideline or request (whether or not having the force of
law) or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the
introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline
or request, such as, for example, but not limited to: (A) a change in the
basis of taxation of payments to such Lender of the principal of or interest on
the Notes or any other amounts payable hereunder (except for taxes described in
Sections 4.7(a)(i) through (vi)) or (B) a change in
official reserve requirements (but, in all events, excluding reserves required
under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of the
Eurocurrency Rate) and/or (y) other circumstances arising after the date
of this Agreement affecting such Lender or the interbank Eurocurrency market or
the position of such Lender in such market (excluding, however, differences in
such Lenders cost of funds from those of the Administrative Agent which are
solely the result of credit differences between such Lender and the
Administrative Agent); or  (c)at any time that (x) the making or
continuance of any Eurocurrency Loan has been made (1) unlawful by any law
or governmental rule, regulation or order, or (2) impracticable as a
result of a contingency occurring after the date of this Agreement which
materially and adversely affects the interbank  76


Eurocurrency market or (y) compliance
by such Lender, acting in good faith, with any governmental request (whether or
not having force of law) is impossible;  then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the
Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall promptly give
notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and, except in the
case of clause (i) above, to the Administrative Agent of such
determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to
each of the other Lenders).  Thereafter (x) in
the case of clause (i) above, Eurocurrency Loans shall no longer be
available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and
the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the
Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of
Conversion or Continuation given by the Borrower with respect to Eurocurrency
Loans (other than with respect to conversions to Base Rate Loans) which have
not yet been advanced (including by way of conversion) shall be deemed
rescinded by the Borrower; (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the
Borrower shall pay to such Lender, upon written demand therefor, such
additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method
of calculating, interest, as such Lender in its reasonable good faith judgment
shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such
increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder, (such
written demand as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, which shall
show the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the Borrower by such
Lender shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all
the parties hereto; provided, that such Lender shall not be entitled to
receive additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.6(a)(y) for
any change or circumstance referred to in Section 3.6(a) occurring
prior to the 180th day before the making of such demand (unless the change is
due to a law enacted with retroactive effect, in which case the 180 day period
shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect); and (z) in
the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions
specified in Section 3.6(b) as promptly as possible and, in
any event, within the time period required by law.  In determining such additional amounts
pursuant to clause (y) of the immediately preceding sentence, each
affected Lender shall act reasonably and in good faith and will, to the extent
the increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable relate to such Lenders
loans in general and are not specifically attributable to a Loan hereunder, use
averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable and which cover all
loans similar to the Loans made by such Lender whether or not the loan
documentation for such other loans permits the Lender to receive increased
costs of the type described in this Section 3.6(a).  B.Eurocurrency Loans.  At any time
that any Eurocurrency Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 3.6(a)(ii) or
(iii), the Borrower may (and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Loan
affected by the circumstances described in Section 3.6(a)(iii),
shall) either (i) if the affected Eurocurrency Loan has not yet been made
or the conversion to such Eurocurrency Loan has not yet been accomplished, by
giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) on the
same date that the Borrower was notified by the affected Lender or the Administrative
Agent pursuant to Section 3.6(a)(ii) or (iii), cancel
the respective Borrowing, or (ii) if the affected Eurocurrency Loan is
then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days written notice to
Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert such Eurocurrency
Loan into a Base Rate Loan, provided, that if more than one Lender is
affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same
pursuant to this Section 3.6(b).  77


C.Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that the introduction of or
any change in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order,
guideline or request (whether or not having the force of law) concerning
capital adequacy, or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by
any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency (in each case
after the date of this Agreement), will have the effect of increasing the
amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any
corporation controlling such Lender based on the existence of such Lenders
Commitments hereunder or its obligations hereunder, then the Borrower shall pay
to such Lender, upon its written notice as hereafter described, such additional
amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender or such other
corporation for the increased cost to such Lender or such other corporation or
the reduction in the rate of return to such Lender or such other corporation as
a result of such increase of capital.  In
determining such additional amounts, each Lender will act reasonably and in
good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable
and which will, to the extent the increased costs or reduction in the rate of
return relates to such Lenders commitments or obligations in general and are
not specifically attributable to the Commitments and obligations hereunder,
cover all commitments and obligations similar to the Commitments and
obligations of such Lender hereunder whether or not the loan documentation for
such other commitments or obligations permits such Lender to make the
determination specified in this Section 3.6(c), and such Lenders
determination of compensation owing under this Section 3.6(c) shall,
absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties
hereto.  Each Lender, upon determining
that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 3.6(c),
will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall
show in reasonable detail the basis for calculation of such additional amounts;
provided that no Lender shall be entitled to receive additional amounts
pursuant to this Section 3.6(c) for increased costs incurred
prior to the 180th day before the giving of such notice, unless such increased
costs are due to a change in law that provides for retroactive effect, in which
case the 180 day period shall be extended to include the period of retroactive
effect).  D.Change of Lending Office. Each Lender which is or will be owed
compensation pursuant to Section 3.6(a) or (c) or 4.7
will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall
policy considerations of such Lender) to cause a different Lending Office to
make or continue a Loan or Letter of Credit if such designation will avoid the
need for, or materially reduce the amount of, such compensation to such Lender
and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to
such Lender or Lending Office.  Nothing
in this Section 3.6(d) shall affect or postpone any of the
obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender provided for herein.  11.7.Replacement of Affected Lenders  (x) So long as no
Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default then exists, if any Revolving
Lender becomes an Impaired Lender, (y) if any Lender (or in the case of Section 2.9(i),
Facing Agent) is owed increased costs under Section 2.9(i), Section 3.6(a)(ii) or
(iii), or Section 3.6(c), or the Borrower is required to
make any payments under Section 4.7(a) or (c) to
any Lender, or (z) as provided in Section 12.1(b) in the
case of certain refusals by a Lender to consent to certain proposed amendments,
changes, supplements, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this
Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders,  78


the Borrower shall
have the right to replace such Lender (the Replaced Lender) with one
or more other Eligible Assignees acceptable to the Administrative Agent, provided
that no such Eligible Assignee is an Impaired Lender at the time of such
replacement (collectively, the Replacement Lender), provided
further that (i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 3.7,
the Replaced Lender and Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more
assignment agreements, in form and substance satisfactory to such parties and
the Administrative Agent, pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall
acquire, at par, all of the Commitments and outstanding Loans of, and
participation in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans by, the Replaced Lender
(with the assignment fee paid by either the Replacement Lender or the Borrower)
and (ii) all obligations of the Borrower owing to the Replaced Lender
(including, without limitation, such increased costs and including those
specifically described in clause (y) above but excluding principal and
interest in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is
concurrently being paid at par) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender
concurrently with such replacement.  Upon
the execution of the respective assignment documentation, the payment of
amounts referred to in clause (ii) above and the par purchase price
referred to in (i) above, and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender,
delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by
the Borrower, the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and,
unless the Replaced Lender continues to have outstanding Loans hereunder, the
Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with
respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive
as to such Replaced Lender. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, no Lender that
acts as a Facing Agent may be replaced hereunder at any time during which such
Facing Agent has Letters of Credit outstanding hereunder, unless arrangements
satisfactory to such Facing Agent (including (1) the furnishing of a
standby letter of credit in form and substance, and issued by an issuer,
satisfactory to such Facing Agent or (2) the depositing of cash collateral
into a collateral account in amounts and pursuant to arrangements satisfactory
to such Facing Agent) have been made with respect to such outstanding Letters
of Credit.  The Replaced Lender shall be
required to deliver for cancellation its applicable Notes to be canceled on the
date of replacement, or if any such Note is lost or unavailable, such other
assurances or indemnification therefor as the Borrower may reasonably request.  11.8.Impaired Lenders  A.Reallocation of Impaired Lender Commitment. 
If a Revolving Lender becomes an Impaired Lender, the following
provisions shall apply with respect to any outstanding LC Obligations and any
outstanding Swing Line Loans for so long as such Revolving Lender is an
Impaired Lender:  (a)the Pro Rata Share of such Impaired
Lender with respect to any LC Obligations and any outstanding Swing Line Loans
shall be reallocated (effective on the date such Lender becomes an Impaired
Lender, but without releasing such Impaired Lender from any of its obligations
or commitments) among the Revolving Lenders that are Non-Impaired Lenders pro
rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments but only to the
extent the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of each of the
Non-Impaired Lenders Revolving Loans plus each of the Non-Impaired Lenders
Pro Rata Share of the  79


LC Obligations and Swing
Line Loans does not exceed the total of all Non-Impaired Lenders Revolving
Commitments; provided, that no such reallocation will constitute a waiver or
release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Facing Agent,
the Swing Line Lender or any other Revolving Lender may have against such
Impaired Lender (including any claim for contribution made by a Non-Impaired
Lender in respect of amounts funded by such Non-Impaired Lender pursuant to
such reallocation of commitments) or cause such Impaired Lender to be a
Non-Impaired Lender;  (b)to the extent that any portion (the unreallocated
portion) of the Pro Rata Share of such Impaired Lender with respect to any LC
Obligations and any outstanding Swing Line Loans cannot be so reallocated,
whether by reason of clause (i) above or otherwise, the Borrower will, not
later than 10 Business Days after demand by the Administrative Agent (at the
direction of any Facing Agent and/or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may
be), (A) Cash Collateralize the obligations of the Borrower to any Facing
Agent in respect of such LC Obligations in an amount at least equal to 105% of
the aggregate amount of the unreallocated portion of such LC Obligations, or (B) in
the case of such outstanding Swing Line Loans, prepay the unreallocated portion
thereof, or (C) make other arrangements satisfactory to the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent and to the applicable Facing Agent and the Swing Line
Lender, as the case may be, in their sole discretion to protect them against
the risk of non-payment by such Impaired Lender; and  (c)any amount paid by the Borrower or
otherwise received for the account of an Impaired Lender under this Agreement
(whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity payments or other
amounts) will not be distributed to such Impaired Lender within the meaning of
clause (i), (ii)(x) or (iii) of the definition of Impaired Lender
(but, for the avoidance of doubt, the Obligations for which such amount is paid
for the account of such Impaired Lender will be satisfied and discharged in
full when paid by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent), and such amount
will instead be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated,
non-interest bearing account until (subject to Section 2.10) the
termination of the Revolving Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations
of the Borrower hereunder and will be applied by the Administrative Agent, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, to the making of payments from time to
time in the following order of priority: first to the payment of any
amounts owing by such Impaired Lender to the Administrative Agent under this
Agreement, second to the payment of any amounts owing by such Impaired
Lender to any Facing Agent or the Swing Line Lender (pro rata as to the
respective amounts owing to each of them) under this Agreement, third to
the payment of post-default interest and then current interest due and payable
to the Revolving Lenders hereunder other than Impaired Lenders, ratably among
them in accordance with the amounts of such interest then due and payable to
them, fourth to the payment of fees then due and payable to the
Non-Impaired Lenders hereunder, ratably among them in accordance with the
amounts of such fees then due and payable to them, fifth to pay
principal of the Revolving Loans and any  80


reimbursement obligations
with respect to any Letter of Credit then due and payable to the Non-Impaired
Lenders hereunder ratably in accordance with the amounts thereof then due and
payable to them, sixth to the ratable payment of other amounts then due
and payable under this Agreement to the Non-Impaired Lenders, and seventh
after the termination of the Revolving Commitments and payment in full of all
Obligations of the Borrower hereunder, to pay amounts owing under this
Agreement to such Impaired Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may
otherwise direct.  B.Termination of Impaired Lender Commitments. 
The Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the Revolving Commitment
of an Impaired Lender upon not less than 10 Business Days prior notice to the
Administrative Agent (which will promptly notify the Revolving Lenders
thereof); provided, that such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or
release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Facing Agent,
the Swing Line Lender or any Revolving Lender may have against such Impaired
Lender.  C.Cure.  If the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent, each Facing Agent and the Swing Line
Lender agree in writing in their discretion that a Revolving Lender that is an
Impaired Lender should no longer be deemed to be an Impaired Lender, the
Administrative Agent will so notify the Borrower and the Revolving Lenders,
whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice, such Revolving
Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase such portion of outstanding
Revolving Loans of the other Revolving Lenders (or the other Revolving Lenders
will purchase from the formerly Impaired Lender) and/or make such other
adjustments as the Administrative Agent may reasonably determine to be
necessary to cause such Revolving Lenders Pro Rata Share to be on a pro rata
basis in accordance with its Revolving Commitment, whereupon such Revolving
Lender will cease to be an Impaired Lender and will be a Non-Impaired Lender;
provided, that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees
accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Revolving
Lender was an Impaired Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent
otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from
Impaired Lender to Non-Impaired Lender will constitute a waiver or release of
any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Revolving Lender having been
an Impaired Lender.  SECTION 12  REDUCTION
OF COMMITMENTS; PAYMENTS AND PREPAYMENTS  12.1.Voluntary Reduction of Commitments  A.Upon at least three Business Days prior written
notice (or telephonic notice confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent
at the Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly
transmit to each Lender), the Borrower shall have the right, without premium or
penalty, to terminate the unutilized portion of the Revolving Commitments
and/or, the Swing Line Commitment, as the case may be, in part or in whole; provided
that (i) any such voluntary termination of the Revolving Commitments shall
apply proportionately to, and shall permanently reduce, the Revolving
Commitments of each Revolving Lender; (ii) any partial voluntary reduction
of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall be  81


in the amount of
at least $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess
of that amount and (iii) any such voluntary termination of the Revolving
Commitment shall occur simultaneously with a voluntary prepayment, pursuant to Section 4.3
such that the total of the Revolving Commitments shall not be reduced below the
sum of the Assigned Dollar Value of the aggregate principal amount of
outstanding Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and LC Obligations plus any
Overdraft Reserve.  B.In the event of certain refusals by a Lender to
consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with
respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders as
provided in Section 12.1(b), the Borrower shall have the right,
upon five (5) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative
Agent (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of
the Lenders), to terminate the entire Revolving Commitment of such Lender, so
long as (i) the Borrower repays all Loans, together with accrued and
unpaid interest, fees and all other amounts, due and owing to such Lender
pursuant to Section 4.3(b) concurrently with the effectiveness
of such termination at which time Schedule 1.1(a) shall be deemed
modified to reflect such changed amounts and (ii) the Borrower cash
collateralizes such Lenders Pro Rata Share of the LC Obligations (in the
manner set forth in Section 4.4(a)) then outstanding.  At such time, such Lender shall no longer
constitute a Lender for purposes of this Agreement, except with respect to
indemnifications in favor of such Lender under this Agreement which shall
survive as to such repaid Lender.  C.In the event that any Revolving Lender does not
consent to an increase in its Revolving Commitment pursuant to a Revolving
Commitment Increase, or if any Revolving Lender does not consent (or is deemed
not to have consented) to an extension of the Stated Termination Date pursuant
to Section 2.11, the Borrower shall have the right, upon five (5) Business
Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (which notice the
Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Revolving Lenders),
to terminate the entire Revolving Commitment of such Revolving Lender, so long
as the Borrower repays all Revolving Loans, together with any accrued and
unpaid interest and fees thereon, concurrently with the effectiveness of such
termination at which time Schedule 1.1(a) shall be deemed modified
to reflect such changed amounts and such Revolving Lenders Pro Rata Share of
the LC Obligations and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated pursuant to Section 2.10(c) or
Section 2.11(b), as the case may be.  At such time, such Revolving Lender shall no
longer constitute a Revolving Lender for purposes of this Agreement, except
with respect to indemnifications in favor of such Revolving Lender under this
Agreement which shall survive as to such repaid Revolving Lender.  12.2.Mandatory Reductions of Commitments  A.Reduction of Revolving Commitments. The Revolving Commitments shall be
reduced at the time and in the amounts required to be reduced pursuant to Section 4.4(c).  B.Reduction of Term B Dollar Commitments. The Term B Dollar Commitments shall
terminate on the Effective Date after giving effect to the Term B Dollar Loans
on such date.  82


C.Proportionate Reductions. Each reduction or adjustment to the
Commitments pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall apply
proportionately to the Commitments of each Lender under the applicable
Facility.  D.Reduction of Term C Dollar Commitments. The Term C Dollar Commitments shall
terminate on the Fourth Amendment Effective Date after giving effect to the
Term C Dollar Loans on such date.  12.3.Voluntary Prepayments  A.The Borrower shall have the right to prepay the
Revolving Loans, any of the Term Loans or the Swing Line Loans in any
combination, in whole or in part, from time to time, without premium or penalty
except as set forth in Section 4.5(c), on the following terms and
conditions: (i) the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent
irrevocable written notice at its Notice Office (or telephonic notice promptly
confirmed in writing) of its intent to prepay the Loans, whether such Loans are
Term Loans, Revolving Loans or Swing Line Loans, the amount of such prepayment
and the specific Borrowings to which such prepayment is to be applied, which
notice shall be given by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent by 12:00 p.m.
(New York City time) at least three Business Days prior in the case of
Eurocurrency Loans and at least one Business Day prior in the case of Base Rate
Loans to the date of such prepayment and which notice shall (except in the case
of Swing Line Loans) promptly be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to
each of the applicable Lenders; (ii) each partial prepayment of any
Borrowing (other than a Borrowing of Swing Line Loans) shall be in an aggregate
Dollar Equivalent principal amount of at least $5,000,000 and each partial
prepayment of a Swing Line Loan shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at
least $500,000; provided, that any partial prepayment of Eurocurrency
Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing that reduces the aggregate principal
amount of the outstanding Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount
less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto shall be subject to
the ante-penultimate sentence of Section 4.5(a); (iii) Eurocurrency
Loans may be prepaid pursuant to this Section 4.3 on the last day
of an Interest Period applicable thereto, or subject to Section 3.5
on any other day; (iv) each prepayment in respect of any Borrowing shall
be applied pro rata among the Loans comprising such Borrowing; provided,
that such prepayment shall not be applied to any Revolving Loans of an Impaired
Lender at any time when the aggregate amount of Revolving Loans of any
Non-Impaired Lender exceeds such Non-Impaired Lenders Pro Rata Share of all
Revolving Loans then outstanding; (v) each voluntary prepayment of Term
Loans shall be applied first to the Scheduled Term Repayments of the Term
Facility being repaid due within the 12 month period following the date of such
prepayment in direct order of maturity and, thereafter, shall be applied to
reduce the remaining Scheduled Term Repayments on a pro rata basis (based upon
the then remaining principal amount of such Scheduled Term Repayments).  Unless otherwise specified by the Borrower,
such prepayment shall be applied first to the payment of Base Rate Loans and
second to the payment of such Eurocurrency Loans as the Borrower shall request
(and in the absence of such request, as the Administrative Agent shall
determine).  The notice provisions, the
provisions with respect to the minimum amount of any prepayment, and the
provisions requiring prepayments in integral multiples above such minimum
amount of this Section 4.3 are for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent and may be waived unilaterally by the Administrative Agent.  83


B.In the event of certain refusals by a Lender to
consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with
respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders as
provided in Section 12.1(b), the Borrower shall have the right,
upon five (5) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative
Agent (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of
the Lenders), to repay all Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest,
fees  and all other amounts due and owing
to such Lender in accordance with said Section 12.1(b), so long as (A) in
the case of the repayment of Revolving Loans of any Revolving Lender pursuant
to this clause (b), the Revolving Commitment of such Revolving Lender is
terminated concurrently with such repayment pursuant to Section 4.1(b) and
(B) in the case of the repayment of Loans of any Lender, the consents
required by Section 12.1(b) in connection with the repayment
pursuant to this clause (b) shall have been obtained.  12.4.Mandatory Prepayments  A.Prepayment Upon Overadvance. 
The Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of Revolving
Loans and/or Swing Line Loans on any date on which the Assigned Dollar Value of
all outstanding Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and LC Obligations (after
giving effect to any other repayments or prepayments on such day) plus any
Overdraft Reserve exceeds the Total Revolving Commitment then in effect
(including, without limitation, solely as a result of fluctuation in Exchange
Rates), in the amount of such excess and in the applicable currency; provided,
however, that if such excess is solely as a result of fluctuation in
Exchange Rates, (i) the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such amount
until four Business Days after notice from the Administrative Agent and (ii) the
Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such amount unless such excess is
greater than the Dollar Equivalent of an amount equal to 5% of the Total
Revolving Commitment.  If, after giving
effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Revolving Loans and Swing Line
Loans pursuant to this Section 4.4(a), the aggregate Assigned
Dollar Value of LC Obligations plus any Overdraft Reserve exceeds the Total
Revolving Commitment then in effect, the Borrower shall cash collateralize LC
Obligations by depositing, pursuant to a cash collateral agreement to be
entered into in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent, cash with the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to
the difference between the Assigned Dollar Value of such LC Obligations plus
any Overdraft Reserve and the Total Revolving Commitment then in effect.  The Administrative Agent shall establish in
its name for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders a collateral account into
which it shall deposit such cash to hold as collateral security for the LC
Obligations.  B.Scheduled Term Repayments. 
The Borrower shall cause to be paid Scheduled Term Repayments for each
Term Facility on the Term Loans until the Term Loans are paid in full in the
amounts and currencies and at the times specified in each of the Scheduled Term
Repayment definitions to the extent that prepayments have not previously been
applied to such Scheduled Term Repayments (and such Scheduled Term Repayments
have not otherwise been reduced) pursuant to the terms hereof.  Payments to be made pursuant to this Section 4.4(b) with
respect to Term B Dollar Loans shall be paid in Dollars.  Payments to be made pursuant to this Section 4.4(b) with
respect to Term C Dollar Loans shall be paid in Dollars.  C.Mandatory Prepayment Upon Asset Disposition or
Recovery Event.  84


(a)On the first Business Day after the date
of receipt thereof by the Borrower and/or any of its Subsidiaries of Net Sale
Proceeds from any Asset Disposition (other than the US Commodity Business Sale,
the UK Business Sale or the C4 Business Sale) or Net Recovery Proceeds of a
Recovery Event (or in the case of a receipt thereof by a Foreign Subsidiary of
the Borrower, such later date as is practicable (but in any event not later
than the 360th day or such earlier day as the Borrower is obligated to make an
offer to purchase any Public Notes due to such Asset Disposition or Recovery
Event) in the event that such mandatory repayment would result in the
provisions of Sections 151 et seq. of the Companies Act 1985 of England being
breached or in any Foreign Subsidiary breaching any similar applicable law in its
country of incorporation), the Borrower shall cause to be paid a mandatory
repayment of principal of Loans pursuant to the terms of Section 4.5(a) in
an amount equal to the greater of (A) the Term Loan Ratable Share of such
Net Sale Proceeds or such Net Recovery Proceeds and (B) 100% of such Net
Sale Proceeds or such Net Recovery Proceeds less the applicable Required Note
Offer Amount Proceeds; provided, that so long as no Event of Default or
Unmatured Event of Default then exists, if either (i) the Net Recovery
Proceeds of any single or series of related Recovery Events or (ii) the
Net Sale Proceeds of any single or series of related Asset Dispositions are
less than $10,000,000 in the aggregate, then no prepayment shall be required
pursuant to this Section 4.4(c)(i), with respect to such Recovery
Event(s) or Asset Disposition(s) (but if greater than $10,000,000,
the entire amount of the Net Recovery Proceeds or the Net Sale Proceeds, as
applicable, shall be required to be prepaid and not only the portion of the Net
Recovery Proceeds or the Net Sale Proceeds, as applicable, in excess of
$10,000,000); provided, further, that the Net Recovery Proceeds
of a Recovery Event and the Net Sales Proceeds of an Asset Disposition (if such
Asset Disposition is permitted by Section 8.3(h) or (i)),
shall not be required to be so applied on such date to the extent that (x) no
Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default then exists and (y) the
Borrower delivers a certificate to the Administrative Agent on or prior to such
date stating that an amount equal to such Net Sale Proceeds or Net Recovery
Proceeds, as applicable, (1) has been used, or (2) is expected to be
used within 360 days following the date of receipt of such Net Sale Proceeds or
Net Recovery Proceeds, as applicable, to purchase assets used or to be used in
the businesses referred to in Section 8.9 (which certificate shall
set forth the estimates of the proceeds to be so expended, if applicable) or to
redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire up to $300,000,000 in aggregate
principal amount of obligations under the Senior Secured Notes (2010) or the
Senior Notes (2012) in accordance with the terms of Section 8.11(i);
provided, however, that, in the case of an Asset Disposition, if
the Net Sale Proceeds from such Asset Disposition is for an amount in excess of
7.5% of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries as of the end of the immediately preceding Fiscal Quarter for
which the Borrower has delivered financial statements required by Section 7.1,
the Net Sale Proceeds in excess of the amount equal to 7.5% of Consolidated Net
Tangible Assets as of such date shall be required to be so applied as a
mandatory repayment of principal of Loans pursuant to the terms of Section 4.5(a) on
the date thirty (30) days  85


following receipt thereof
unless the Borrower has received from S&P or Moodys by such date a
reaffirmation of its debt ratings giving effect to such Asset Disposition and
the proposed use of the proceeds therefrom; provided, further,
that (1) if all or any portion of such Net Sale Proceeds or Net Recovery
Proceeds, as applicable, not so applied to the repayment of Loans have not been
used or are not so used (or contractually committed to be used) within such 360
day period as provided above, or not applied in accordance with the terms of Section 8.11(i),
such remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of the period or such
earlier date as the Borrower is obligated to make an offer to purchase Senior
Secured Notes (2010) due to such Asset Disposition or Recovery Event, as
applicable, as a mandatory repayment of principal of outstanding Loans as
provided above in this Section 4.4(c) and (2) if all or
any portion of such Net Sale Proceeds 
are a result of an Asset Disposition involving the sale of Collateral
owned by the Borrower or a Domestic Subsidiary (other than the Capital Stock of
a Foreign Subsidiary) or if all or any portion of such Net Recovery Proceeds
are a result of a Recovery Event involving Collateral owned by the Borrower or
a Domestic Subsidiary, respectively, then such Net Sale Proceeds and Net
Recovery Proceeds shall be required to be reinvested in assets located in the
United States constituting Collateral (to the extent not used to repay Loans
pursuant to this Section 4.4(c)). 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, on the fifth Business Day after the date
of receipt of any LOU Claim Proceeds, the Borrower shall cause to be paid a
mandatory repayment of principal of Loans pursuant to the terms of Section 4.5(a) in
an amount equal to such LOU Claim Proceeds.  (b)The Lenders, by execution hereof, hereby
irrevocably instruct the Administrative Agent, upon the request of the
Borrower, to waive (A) up to $200,000,000 of Net Sale Proceeds otherwise
required to prepay the Loans hereunder in any Fiscal Year, (B) up to
$50,000,000 in the aggregate of Net Sale Proceeds received in connection with
Sale and Leaseback Transactions of transportation assets and (C) to the
extent not previously waived, Net Sales Proceeds from the C4 Business Sale and
the UK Business Sale.  (c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Section 4.4(c), if the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
are required by the terms of any Public Note Document to make an offer to
purchase Public Notes due to an Asset Disposition (other than the US Commodity
Business Sale and the Asset Dispositions described in clause (ii)(C) above)
but would not otherwise be required to make a mandatory prepayment of the Loans
applied pursuant to the terms of Section 4.5(a), the Borrower shall
cause to be made a mandatory prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 4.5(a) in
an amount equal to the greater of (A) the Term Loan Ratable Share of the
Net Sale Proceeds from such Asset Disposition and (B) 100% of such Net
Sale Proceeds from such Asset Disposition less the applicable Required Note
Offer Amount Proceeds.  D.Mandatory Prepayment With Excess Cash Flow. 
As soon as practicable and in any event by April 30th of each year
(commencing April 30, 2006), the Borrower shall cause to be paid a
mandatory repayment of principal of Loans applied pursuant to the terms of  86


Section 4.5(a)in an amount equal to 50% of Excess
Cash Flow of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the Fiscal Year then most
recently ended; provided, that so long as no Event of Default or
Unmatured Event of Default then exists, (i) if the Most Recent Leverage
Ratio is less than 3.5 to 1.0, then, instead of 50%, an amount equal to 25% of
Excess Cash Flow of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for such Fiscal Year
shall be applied as a mandatory repayment of Loans as provided in Section 4.5
and (ii) if the Most Recent Leverage Ratio is less than 3.0 to 1.0 then no
mandatory prepayment shall be required to be applied from Excess Cash Flow.  12.5.Application of Prepayments.  A.Prepayments.  Except as
expressly provided in this Agreement, all prepayments of principal made by the
Borrower pursuant to Sections 4.4(c) and (d) shall be
applied (i) first, to the payment of the unpaid principal amount of
the Term Loans (with, except as provided in the next succeeding sentence, the
Term Percentage for each Term Facility of such repayment to be applied as a
repayment of Term Loans of such Term Facility), second, to the
prepayment of the then outstanding balance of Swing Line Loans, third,
to the payment, pro rata, of the then outstanding balance of the Revolving
Loans (and the Revolving Commitments shall be permanently reduced by the amount
of the required prepayment not applied to the Term Loans), and fourth,
to the cash collateralization of LC Obligations; (ii) within each of the
foregoing Loans, first to the payment of Base Rate Loans and second to the
payment of Eurocurrency Loans; and (iii) with respect to Eurocurrency
Loans, in such order as the Borrower shall request (and in the absence of such
request, as the Administrative Agent shall determine).  Each prepayment of Term Loans made
pursuant to Section 4.4(c) and (d) shall be
allocated first to the Term Loans based on the aggregate principal
amount of the Scheduled Term Repayments due within the twelve month period
following the date of such prepayment in direct order of maturity, and,
thereafter, shall be allocated second to the Term Loans in proportional
amounts equal to the Term Percentage for each Term Facility (in each case,
after giving effect to the prepayments made to the Scheduled Term Repayments
due within such twelve month period as specified above), as the case may be, of
such remaining prepayment, if any, and, within each Term Loan, shall be applied
to reduce the remaining Scheduled Term Repayments on a pro rata basis (based
upon the then remaining principal amount of such Scheduled Term Repayments).  If any prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans made
pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding Loans made pursuant
to such Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount, such
Borrowing shall immediately be converted into Base Rate Loans, in the case of
Loans denominated in Dollars, or into Loans with one month Interest Periods, in
the case of Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency.  All prepayments shall include payment of
accrued interest on the principal amount so prepaid, shall be applied to the
payment of interest before application to principal and shall include amounts
payable, if any, under Section 3.5. 
All payments received in Dollars which are required to be applied in
Euros and/or Sterling shall be converted to Euros or Sterling, as the case may
be, at the Spot Rate on the date of such prepayment.  B.Payments.  All Scheduled
Term Repayments, all mandatory prepayments and unless otherwise specified by
the Borrower, all voluntary prepayments shall be applied (i) first to the
payment of Base Rate Loans, if any, and second to the payment of Eurocurrency
Loans and (ii) with respect to Eurocurrency Loans, in such order as the
Borrower shall request (and in the absence of such request, as the
Administrative Agent shall determine). 
All payments  87


shall include
payment of accrued interest on the principal amount so paid, shall be applied
to the payment of interest before application to principal and shall include
amounts payable, if any, under Section 3.5.  Each payment applied to the Term Loans shall,
to the extent permitted by applicable laws, be deemed to apply to the portion
thereof that was used to repay and replace the loans originally incurred by the
Borrower to purchase the Capital Stock of TG.  C.Call Protection.  In the event
that prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date, the Borrower makes
any prepayment of all or part of the Term B Dollar Loans in connection with any
replacement or refinancing of the Term B Dollar Loans with or from the proceeds
of a new term loan having an Applicable Eurocurrency Margin (or other
equivalent term) that, at any time prior to the first anniversary of the
Effective Date is, or could upon satisfaction of certain conditions be, less
than the Applicable Eurocurrency Margin for the Term B Dollar Loans, the
Borrower shall pay a prepayment fee to Administrative Agent for the benefit of
the Term B Dollar Lenders equal to 1% of the principal amount of the Term B
Dollar Loans so refinanced, provided that the foregoing prepayment fee shall
not be applicable if such prepayment is made in connection with the termination
of all of the Revolving Commitments and a repayment of all of the Loans
hereunder.  Solely for purposes of this Section 4.5(c),
any amendment, restatement or other modification to this Agreement prior to the
first anniversary of the Effective Date that reduces the Applicable
Eurocurrency Margin applicable to the Term B Dollar Loans shall be treated as
if the Term B Dollar Loans were refinanced in full.  D.Prepayment of Term C Dollar Loans. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
including without limitation, any provision of Article IV hereof,
the Borrower shall have the right to prepay in whole (but not in part) the
outstanding Term B Dollar Loans without any obligation to prepay any portion of
the Term C Dollar Loans.  12.6.Method and Place of Payment  A.Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all
payments under this Agreement shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for
the ratable account of the Lenders entitled thereto, not later than 1:00 p.m.
(New York City time) on the date when due and shall be made in immediately
available funds and in each case to the account specified therefor for the
Administrative Agent or if no account has been so specified at the Payment
Office.  The Administrative Agent will
thereafter cause to be distributed on the same day (if payment was actually
received by the Administrative Agent prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City
time) on such day) like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest
or fees ratably to the Lenders entitled to receive any such payment in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
If and to the extent that any such distribution shall not be so made by
the Administrative Agent in full on the same day (if payment was actually
received by the Administrative Agent prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City
time) on such day), the Administrative Agent shall pay to each Lender its
ratable amount thereof and each such Lender shall be entitled to receive from
the Administrative Agent, upon demand, interest on such amount at the overnight
Federal Funds Rate (or the applicable cost of funds with respect to amounts
denominated in Euros or Sterling) for each day from the date such amount is
paid to the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent pays
such amount to such Lender.  88


B.Any payments under this Agreement which are made by
the Borrower later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) shall, for the
purpose of calculation of interest, be deemed to have been made on the next
succeeding Business Day.  Whenever any
payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a
Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding
Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be
payable during such extension at the applicable rate in effect immediately
prior to such extension, except that with respect to Eurocurrency Loans, if
such next succeeding applicable Business Day is not in the same month as the
date on which such payment would otherwise be due hereunder or under any Note,
the due date with respect thereto shall be the next preceding Business Day.  12.7.Net Payments  A.All payments made by the Borrower hereunder or under
any Loan Document will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other
defense.  All payments hereunder and
under any of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, payments on
account of principal and interest and fees) shall be made by the Borrower free
and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any
present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other charge of
whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any Governmental Authority, but
excluding therefrom (i) any tax imposed on or measured by the overall net
income (including franchise taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes) of the
Lender or the lending office of the Lender in respect of which the payment is
made by the United States or by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision
or taxing authority thereof) in which the Lender is incorporated or the
jurisdiction (or political subdivision or taxing authority thereof) in which
its lending office is located, (ii) any branch profits tax imposed by the
United States or any similar tax imposed by the jurisdiction in which the
Borrower is located, (iii) in the case of any Lender organized under the
laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any state thereof
(including the District of Columbia), any taxes imposed by the United States by
means of withholding at the source unless such withholding results from a
change in applicable law, treaty or regulations or the interpretation or
administration thereof (including, without limitation, any guideline or policy
not having the force of law) by any authority charged with the administration
thereof subsequent to the date such Lender becomes a Lender hereunder, (iv) any
taxes to which the Lender is subject (to the extent of the tax rate then in
effect) on the date this Agreement is executed or to which such Lender would be
subject on such date if a payment hereunder had been received by the Lender on
such date and with respect to any Lender that becomes a party hereto after the
date hereof, any taxes to which such Lender is subject on the date it becomes a
party hereto (other than taxes which each of the other Lenders is entitled to
reimbursements for pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), (v) taxes to
which the Lender becomes subject subsequent to the date referred to in clause (iv) above
as a result of a change in the residence, place of incorporation, or principal
place of business of the Lender, a change in the branch or lending office of
the Lender participating in the transactions set forth herein or other similar
circumstances or as a result of the recognition by the Lender of gain on the sale,
assignment or participation by the Lender of the participating interests in its
creditor positions hereunder and (vi) any withholding tax that is imposed
as a result of a Lenders failure to comply with the provisions of Section 4.7(d) (such
tax or taxes, other than the tax or taxes described in Sections 4.7(a)(i) through
(vi), being herein referred to as Tax or Taxes).  If the Borrower is required by law to make
any deduction or withholding of any Taxes from any payment due hereunder or  89


under any of the
Loan Documents, then the amount payable will be increased to such amount which,
after deduction from such increased amount of all such Taxes required to be
withheld or deducted therefrom, will not be less than the amount due and
payable hereunder had no such deduction or withholding been required.  A certificate as to any additional amounts
payable to a Lender under this Section 4.7 submitted to the
Borrower by such Lender shall show in reasonable detail the amount payable and
the calculations used to determine in good faith such amount and shall, absent
manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto.  B.If the Borrower makes any payment hereunder or under

Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting

if any Lender, or the Administrative Agent on its behalf, is required by law to

or receivable hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents by such Lender, or
the Administrative Agent on its behalf, or any liability for Tax in respect of
any such payment is imposed, levied or assessed against any Lender or the
Administrative Agent on its behalf, the Borrower will promptly, following
receipt of the certificate described in the immediately following sentence,
indemnify such person against such Tax payment or liability, together with any
interest, penalties and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and
expenses) payable or incurred in connection therewith, including any tax of any
Lender or the Administrative Agent arising by virtue of payments under this Section 4.7(c),
computed in a manner consistent with this Section 4.7(c).  A certificate as to the amount of such
payment by such Lender, or the Administrative Agent on its behalf, showing
calculations thereof in reasonable detail, absent manifest error, shall be
final, conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto for all purposes.  D.(a)To the extent permitted by applicable
law, each Lender that is a Non-U.S. Participant shall deliver to Borrower and
Administrative Agent on or prior to the Initial Borrowing date (or in the case
of a Lender that is an Assignee, on the date of such assignment to such Lender)
two accurate and complete original signed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN,
W-8ECI, or W-8IMY (or any successor or other applicable form prescribed by the
IRS) certifying to such Lenders entitlement to a complete exemption from, or a
reduced rate of, United States withholding tax on interest payments to be made
under this Agreement or any Note.  If a
Lender that is a Non-U.S. Participant is claiming a complete exemption from
withholding on interest pursuant to Section 881(c) of the Code, the
Lender shall deliver (along with two accurate and complete original signed
copies of IRS Form W-8BEN) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 4.7(d) (any
such certificate, a Section 4.7(d)(i) Certificate).  In addition, each Lender that is a Non-U.S.
Participant agrees that from time to time after the Initial Borrowing date, (or
in the case of a Lender that is an Assignee, after the date of the assignment
to such Lender), when a lapse in time (or change in circumstances occurs)
renders the prior certificates hereunder obsolete or inaccurate in any material
respect, such Lender shall, to the extent permitted under  90


applicable law,
deliver to the Borrower and Administrative Agent two new and accurate and
complete original signed copies of an IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI, or W-8IMY
(or any successor or other applicable forms prescribed by the IRS), and if
applicable, a new Section 4.7(d)(i) Certificate, to confirm or
establish the entitlement of such Lender or Agent to an exemption from, or
reduction in, United States withholding tax on interest payments to be made
under this Agreement or any Note.  (b)Each Lender that is not a Non-U.S.
Participant (other than any such Lender which is taxed as a corporation for
U.S. federal income tax purposes) shall provide two properly completed and duly
executed copies of IRS Form W-9 (or any successor or other applicable
form) to Borrower and Administrative Agent certifying that such Lender is
exempt from United States backup withholding tax.  To the extent that a form provided pursuant
to this Section 4.7(d)(ii) is rendered obsolete or inaccurate
in any material respects as result of change in circumstances with respect to
the status of a Lender, such Lender or Agent shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent revised forms
necessary to confirm or establish the entitlement to such Lenders exemption
from United States backup withholding tax.  E.Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable
after it becomes aware of the occurrence of any event or the existence of any
condition that would cause the Borrower to make a payment in respect of any
Taxes to such Lender pursuant to Section 4.7(a) or a payment
in indemnification for any Taxes pursuant to Section 4.7(c), it
will use reasonable efforts to make, fund or maintain the Loan (or portion
thereof) of such Lender with respect to which the aforementioned payment is or
would be made through another lending office of such Lender if as a result
thereof the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid by
such the Borrower in respect of such Loans (or portions thereof) or
participation in Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 4.7(a) or
Section 4.7(c) would be materially reduced, and if, as
determined by such Lender, in its reasonable discretion, the making, funding or
maintaining of such Loans or participation in Letters of Credit (or portions
thereof) through such other lending office would not otherwise materially
adversely affect such Loans or such Lender. 
The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable expenses incurred by any Lender
in utilizing another lending office of such Lender pursuant to this Section 4.7(e).  F.If the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or
Participant) receives any refund with respect to any Taxes as to which it has
been indemnified by the Borrower, or with respect to which the Borrower has
paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.7, it shall pay
over to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of
indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this
Section 4.7 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund),
net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender
(or Participant) and without interest (other than any interest paid by the
relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the
Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or
Participant), agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower, to the
Administrative Agent or such Lender (or Participant), together with any
interest, penalties and additions to tax, in the event the Administrative Agent
or such Lender (or Participant) is required to repay such refund to such
Governmental Authority.  This paragraph
shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or  91


Participant) to
make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes
which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.  SECTION 13  CONDITIONS

the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices (with respect to
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries of any nature whatsoever (whether absolute,
accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether or not due) which, either
individually or in aggregate, would be material to the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.  As of
the Effective Date, the Borrower does not know of any basis for the assertion
against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any such liability or
obligation of any nature whatsoever that is not fully reflected in the
financial statements or the notes related thereto delivered pursuant to Section 6.5(a) or
set forth on Schedule 6.5(c) which, either individually or in the
aggregate, could be material to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a

(other than the Loans, the Letters of Credit and the Public Notes of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries) as of the Effective Date, to the extent that, in
each case, such Indebtedness is in excess of $5,000,000 (provided, that the
aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness not so listed does not exceed the
Dollar Equivalent (as determined on the Effective Date) of $20,000,000), in
each case showing the aggregate principal amount thereof (and the aggregate
amount of any undrawn commitments with respect thereto) and the name of the

caused to be delivered to the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of
the form of each instrument evidencing Indebtedness for money borrowed listed

Indebtedness of the type described in Section 8.2(b)(xiii).  E.Projections/Budgets.  On and as of
the Effective Date, the financial projections, attached hereto as Schedule
6.5(e) and each of the budgets delivered after the Effective Date
pursuant to Section 7.2(e) (collectively, the Projections)
are, or will be at the time made, based on good faith estimates and assumptions
made by the management of the Borrower, and there are no statements or
conclusions in any of the Projections which, at the time made, are based upon
or include information known to the Borrower to be misleading in any material
respect or which fail to take into account material information known to
Borrower regarding the matters reported therein.  On and as of the Effective Date, the Borrower
believes that the Projections are reasonable and attainable, it being understood
that uncertainty is inherent in any forecast or projection and that no
assurance can be given that the results set forth in the Projections will
actually be attained or that the projections will be suitable or sufficient for
any purpose relevant to the Lenders.  102

material adverse change in the business, condition (financial or otherwise),

suits or proceedings pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower or any

reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.  14.7.Disclosure  All factual information
(taken as a whole) heretofore or contemporaneously furnished by or on behalf of
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in writing to any Lender (including,
without limitation, all information contained in the Documents) (other than the
Projections as to which Section 6.5(e) applies, which fairly
discloses the matters therein in good faith) for purposes of or in connection
with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated herein is, and all other
such factual information (taken as a whole) hereafter furnished by or on behalf
of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in writing to any Lender for
purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction
contemplated herein are and will be true and accurate in all material respects
on the date as of which such information is dated or certified and not
incomplete by omitting to state any fact necessary to make such information
(taken as a whole) not misleading in any material respect at such time in light
of the circumstances under which such information was provided. As of the
Effective Date, the Borrower has disclosed to the Lenders on or before the
Effective Date, all contractual, corporate or other restrictions to which the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is or will be subject as of the Effective
Date, and all other matters known to any of them, that, individually or in the
aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.  14.8.Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations  A.Term Loan Proceeds.  All proceeds
of the Additional Term Loans (as defined in the Third Amendment) incurred on

ongoing working capital needs and general corporate purposes (other than to
voluntarily prepay Term Loans); provided, however, that no Swing
Line Loans may be requested by the Borrower on the Closing Date.  103


D.Margin Regulations.  No part of
the proceeds of any Loan will be used to purchase or carry any margin stock (as
defined in Regulation U of the Board), directly or indirectly, or to extend
credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any such margin stock for the
purpose of reducing or retiring any indebtedness which was originally incurred
to purchase or carry any margin security or for any other purpose which might
cause any of the loans or extensions of credit under this Agreement to be
considered a purpose credit within the meaning of Regulation T, U or X of the
Board.  14.9.Tax Returns and Payments  The Borrower and each of
the its Subsidiaries have timely filed or caused to be filed all tax returns
which are required to be filed, except where failure to file any such returns
would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and have
paid or caused to be paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns
or on any assessments made against them or any of their respective material
properties and all other material taxes, fees or other charges imposed on them
or any of their respective properties by any Governmental Authority (other than
those the amount or validity of which is contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have
been provided on the books of the Borrower or any such Subsidiary, as the case
may be), except where failure to take any such action could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and no tax liens have been filed
and no claims are being asserted with respect to any such taxes, fees or other
charges (other than such liens or claims, the amount or validity of which is
currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with
respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP (or prior to the Effective
Date, applicable accounting practice) have been provided) which could be
reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  14.10.Compliance With ERISA  A.Each Plan has been operated and administered in a
manner so as not to result in any liability of the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries for failure to comply with the applicable provisions of ERISA and
the Code in excess of $50,000,000; no Reportable Event which could reasonably
be expected to result in the termination of any Plan has occurred with respect
to a Plan; to the best knowledge of the Borrower, no Multiemployer Plan is
insolvent or in reorganization; no Plan has an accumulated or waived funding
deficiency, has permitted decreases in its funding standard account or has
applied for an extension of any amortization period within the meaning of Section 412
of the Code; neither the Borrower nor any of its  Subsidiaries nor any ERISA Affiliate has
incurred any liability to or on account of a Plan pursuant to Section 409,
502(i), 502(l), 515, 4062, 4063, 4064, 4069, 4201 or 4204 of ERISA or Section 4971
or 4975 of the Code in excess of $50,000,000; no proceedings have been
instituted to terminate any Plan; using actuarial assumptions and computation
methods consistent with subpart 1 of Subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA, the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries and its ERISA Affiliates would not have any
liability to all Multiemployer Plans in the event of a complete withdrawal
therefrom, as of the close of the most recent Fiscal Year of each such Plan
ending prior to the date of any Credit Event in excess of $50,000,000; no Lien
imposed under the Code or ERISA on the assets of the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate exists or is likely to arise on account of
any Plan; and the Borrower and its Subsidiaries do not maintain  104


or contribute to
any employee welfare benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(1) of
ERISA) which provides benefits to retired employees (other than as required by Section 601
of ERISA) or any employee pension benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(2) of
ERISA), the ongoing annual obligations with respect to either of which could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  B.(i) Each Foreign Pension Plan is in compliance
and in good standing (to the extent such concept exists in the relevant
jurisdiction) in all respects with all laws, regulations and rules applicable
thereto, including all funding requirements, and the respective requirements of
the governing documents for such Foreign Pension Plan, except for such failures
that individually or in the aggregate could neither (A) result in
liabilities in excess of $50,000,000 nor (B) reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect; (ii) with respect to each Foreign
Pension Plan maintained or contributed to by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, (x) that
is required by applicable law to be funded in a trust or other funding vehicle
is in material compliance with applicable law regarding funding requirements,
except for such failures that individually or in the aggregate could neither (A) result
in liabilities in excess of $50,000,000 nor (B) reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect, and (y) that is not required by
applicable law to be funded in a trust or other funding vehicle, reasonable
book reserves have been established in accordance with prudent business
practice or where required by ordinary accounting practices in the jurisdiction
in which such Foreign Pension Plan is maintained; (iii) all material
contributions required to have been made by the Borrower or any Subsidiary to
any Foreign Pension Plan, except for such failures that individually or in the
aggregate could neither (A) result in liabilities in excess of $50,000,000
nor (B) reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect have
been made within the time required by law or by the terms of such Foreign
Pension Plan; and (iv) to the knowledge of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries, no actions or proceedings have been taken or instituted to
terminate or wind-up a Foreign Pension Plan with respect to which the Borrower
and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole could have any liability, except for such
failures that individually or in the aggregate could neither (A) result in
liabilities in excess of $50,000,000 nor (B) reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect.  14.11.Ownership of Property  The Borrower and each of
its Subsidiaries has good and marketable title or, with respect to real
property, valid fee simple title (or in each case, the relevant foreign
equivalent, if any) to, or a subsisting leasehold interest in, or a valid
contractual agreement or other valid right to use, all  such Persons material real property, and
good title (or relevant foreign equivalent) to, a valid leasehold interest in,
or valid contractual rights or other valid right to (or an agreement for the
acquisition of same) use all such Persons other material property (but
excluding Intellectual Property), and, in each case, none of such property is
subject to any Lien except for Permitted Liens. 
Neither this Agreement nor any other Documents, nor any transaction
contemplated under any such agreement, will affect any right, title or interest
of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in and to any of the assets of the
Borrower or any such Subsidiary in a manner that would have or is reasonably
likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
As of the Closing Date, the Borrower and its Domestic Subsidiaries have
granted Mortgages to secure the Obligations on all parcels of real estate
identified on Schedule 6.21(c) as Mortgaged Properties.  105

ability of (i) any Subsidiary of the Borrower to pay dividends or make any

any of its Subsidiaries is an investment company or a company controlled by
an investment company, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended.  14.16.Subordination Provisions  The subordination

Material Adverse Effect, and (v) no Environmental Lien has attached to any
property (whether owned or leased) of the Borrower or of any of its
Subsidiaries which could, if determined adversely to Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, nor are

Subsidiaries that may reasonably be expected to give rise to such an
Environmental Lien.  14.18.Labor Relations  Neither the Borrower nor
any of its Material Subsidiaries is engaged in any unfair labor practice that
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Except to the extent that the same could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, there is (i) no
significant unfair labor practice complaint pending against the Borrower or any

Effect, and has obtained assignments of all franchises, licenses and other
rights of whatever nature, regarding Intellectual Property necessary for the
present conduct of its business, without any known conflict with the rights of others,
except such conflicts which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material

any of its Subsidiaries has knowledge of any existing or threatened claim by
any Person contesting the validity, enforceability, use or ownership of the
Intellectual Property which could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect, or of any existing state of facts that would support a claim

Property has infringed or otherwise violated any proprietary rights of any
other Person which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.  108


14.20.Certain Fees  No brokers or finders
fees or commissions or any similar fees or commissions will be payable by the
Borrower, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to the
incurrence and maintenance of the Obligations, any other transaction
contemplated by the Documents or any 
services rendered in connection with such transactions.  14.21.Security Documents  A.Security Agreement Collateral. 
The provisions of the Security Documents upon execution and delivery
thereof are effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent or, as the
case may be, the UK Security Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a
legal, valid and enforceable security interest in all right, title and interest
of the applicable Credit Party in the Collateral (other than the Collateral
described in the Mortgages) owned by such Credit Party, and the Collateral
Security Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and the
UK Security Documents, together with the filings of Form UCC-1 (or other
similar filing, if any) in all relevant jurisdictions and delivery of all
possessory collateral create a first lien on, and security interest in (or
similar interest in respect of), all right, title and interest of the Borrower
and such Credit Parties in all of the Collateral described therein, subject to
no other Liens other than Permitted Liens. 
Except for titled vehicles, vessels and other collateral which may not
be perfected through the filing of financing statements under the Uniform
Commercial Code (or similar applicable law) of the appropriate jurisdiction (or
similar filings in each relevant jurisdiction) and which have an aggregate fair
market value of less than $5,000,000, and except for patents, trademarks, trade
names and copyrights to the extent perfection would require filing in any
foreign jurisdiction, all such Liens are perfected Liens (or similar legal
status).  The recordation in the United
States Patent and Trademark Office and in the United States Copyright Office of
assignments for security made pursuant to the Collateral Security Agreement
will be effective, under Federal law, to perfect the security interest granted
to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in the
trademarks, patents and copyrights covered by such the Collateral Security
Agreement.  The recordation with the
United States Surface Transportation Board of assignments for security made
pursuant to the Security Agreement will be effective under Federal law, to create
a valid first lien in favor of the Collateral Agent in the railcars covered by
the Collateral Security Agreement  B.Pledged Securities.  The security
interests created in favor of the Collateral Agent, as pledgee for the benefit
of the Secured Parties under the Collateral Security Agreement and the Pledge
Agreement, constitute perfected security interests in the Pledged Securities,
if any, subject to no security interests of any other Person except for the
Liens granted under or pursuant to the Collateral Security Agreement and except
for Liens of the types described in clauses (i) and (vi) of the
definition of Customary Permitted Liens.  No filings or recordings are required in
order to perfect the security interests created in the Pledged Securities under
the Collateral Security Agreement other than with respect to filings required
by applicable foreign law and UCC financing statements with respect to
uncertificated Pledged Securities.  C.Real Estate Collateral.  The Mortgages
create, as security for the obligations purported to be secured thereby, a
valid and enforceable (and upon the due recording thereof under applicable law)
perfected security interest in and Lien on all of the Mortgaged  109


Property
(including, without limitation, all fixtures and improvements relating to such
Mortgaged Property and affixed or added thereto on or after the Closing Date)
in favor of the Collateral Agent (or such other agent or trustee as may be
named therein) for the benefit of the Secured Parties, superior to and prior to
the rights of all third Persons (except that the security interest created in
the Mortgaged Property may be subject to the Permitted Liens related
thereto).  As of the Effective Date, Schedule
6.21(c) contains a true and complete list of each parcel of real
property owned or leased by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in the United
States, the United Kingdom or other jurisdiction in which a material plant is
located and the type of interest therein held by the Borrower or such Subsidiary
and indicates for each such parcel whether it is a Mortgaged Property.  The Borrower or a Subsidiary of the Borrower
has good and marketable title to all Mortgaged Property free and clear of all
Liens except those described in the first sentence of this Section 6.21(c).  14.22.Anti-Terrorism Law  A.Neither Borrower nor, to the knowledge of Borrower,
any of its Affiliates is in violation of any laws relating to terrorism or
money laundering (Anti-Terrorism Laws), including Executive Order No. 13224
on Terrorist Financing, effective September 24, 2001 (the Executive Order),
and the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools
Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, Public Law 107-56 (as
amended) (the Patriot Act).  B.Neither Borrower nor, to the actual knowledge of a
Responsible Officer of the Borrower, any Affiliate or broker or other agent of
Borrower is, acting or benefiting in any capacity in connection with any Loans
hereunder is any of the following:  (a)a person that is listed in the annex to,
or is otherwise subject to the provisions of, the Executive Order;  (b)a person owned or controlled by, or
acting for or on behalf of, any person that is listed in the annex to, or is
otherwise subject to the provisions of, the Executive Order;  (c)a person with which any Lender is
prohibited from dealing or otherwise engaging in any transaction by any
Anti-Terrorism Law;  (d)a person that commits, threatens or
conspires to commit or supports terrorism as defined in the Executive Order;
or  (e)a person that is named as a specially
designated national and blocked person on the most current list published by
the USA Treasury Department Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) at its
official website or any replacement website or other replacement official
publication of such list.  110

circumstances by such other Persons. 
Such insurance shall be maintained with financially sound and reputable
insurers, except that a portion of such insurance program (not to exceed that
which is customary in the case of companies engaged in the same or similar
business or having similar properties similarly situated) may be effected through
self-insurance, provided adequate reserves therefor, in accordance with GAAP,
are maintained. All material insurance policies or certificates (or certified
copies thereof) with respect to such insurance and any other  117


insurance policies
to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent (A) shall be endorsed

7.8.  If any portion of any Mortgaged
Property is at any time located in an area identified by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (or any successor agency) as a Special Flood Hazard Area with
respect to which flood insurance has been made available under the National
Flood Insurance Act of 1968 (as now or hereafter in effect or successor act
thereto), then the Borrower or the applicable Credit Party shall maintain, or
cause to be maintained, with IRIC or another financially sound and reputable
insurer, flood insurance in amounts and otherwise sufficient to comply with all
applicable Flood Insurance Laws and shall, upon the reasonable request of the
Administrative Agent, deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence of such

prompt and appropriate action to respond to any material non-compliance with
Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits or to any material Release or a
substantial threat of a material Release of a Contaminant, and upon request
from the Administrative Agent, shall report to the Administrative Agent on such
response.  Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, whenever the Administrative Agent or any Lender
has a reasonable basis to believe that the Borrower is not in material
compliance with Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits or that any
property of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, or any property to which
Contaminants generated by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries have come to be
located (Offsite Property) has or may become contaminated or subject
to an order or decree such that any non-compliance, contamination or order or
decree could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, then, to
the extent the Borrower has the legal right to do so, the Borrower agrees to,
at the Administrative Agents request and the Borrowers expense: (i) cause
an independent environmental engineer reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent to conduct such tests of the site where the alleged or
actual non-compliance or contamination has occurred and prepare and deliver to
the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower a report(s) reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent setting forth the results of such tests,
the Borrowers proposed plan and schedule for responding to any environmental
problems described therein, and the Borrowers estimate of the costs thereof,
and (ii) provide the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower a
supplemental report(s) of such engineer whenever the scope of the
environmental problems or the Borrowers response thereto or the estimated
costs thereof, shall materially change. 
Notwithstanding the  118


above, the
Borrower shall not be obligated (other than as required by applicable law) to
undertake any tests or remediation at any Offsite Property (a) that is not
owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and (b) where
Contaminants generated by persons other than the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries have also come to be located.  B.Defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders, and their respective employees, the Administrative
Agents, officers and directors, from and against any and all claims, demands,
penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of
whatever kind or nature known or unknown, contingent or otherwise, arising out
of, or in any way relating to the violation of, noncompliance with or liability
under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of the Borrower, any
of its Subsidiaries or their respective properties, or any orders, requirements
or demands of Governmental Authorities related thereto, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys and consultants fees, investigation and
laboratory fees, costs arising from any Remedial Actions, court costs and
litigation expenses, except to the extent that any of the foregoing arise out
of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking
indemnification therefor.  The agreements
in this Section 7.9(b) shall survive repayment of the Notes
and all other Obligations.  15.10.Use of Proceeds  Use all proceeds of the
Loans as provided in Section 6.8.  15.11.Additional Security; Further Assurances  A.Agreement to Grant Additional Security.

assets owned by any Receivables Subsidiary, any of the Thai Holding Companies,

other assets collectively have a fair market value of less than $10,000,000))
and within 30 days (unless otherwise extended at the discretion of the
Administration Agent) after request by the Administrative Agent or Collateral
Agent with respect to any other after acquired collateral deemed material by
the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders, the Borrower will, and will cause
each of their respective Domestic Subsidiaries to, take all necessary action,
including (i) the filing of appropriate financing statements under the
provisions of the UCC, applicable foreign, domestic or local laws, rules or

Immaterial Subsidiary) that is wholly owned by a corporation organized under
the laws of a state of the United States or the District of Columbia and is

section 301.7701-3, to execute and deliver the Subsidiary Guaranty (or a
supplement thereto) promptly, and in any event, within 30 days of such Persons
having become a Subsidiary.  C.Pledge of New Subsidiary Stock. 
The Borrower agrees to pledge (or cause its Subsidiaries to pledge) all
of the Capital Stock of each new Domestic Subsidiary and, to the extent such
pledge would not result in adverse tax consequences to the Borrower, 65% of the
Capital Stock of each new first-tier Foreign Subsidiary established, acquired
or created after the Closing Date to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of
the Secured Parties pursuant to the Collateral Security Agreement and the other
Security Documents promptly, and in any event, within 30 days of the
establishment, acquisition or creation of such new Subsidiary; provided, that
any filings or recordations with respect to Foreign Subsidiaries may be made
after such 30-day period to the extent approved by the Administrative Agent.  D.Grant of Security by New Subsidiaries.

deemed by the Administrative Agent to be necessary or desirable for the
creation and perfection of the foregoing Liens.

actions reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Required
Lenders (including, without limitation, the filing of UCC-1s) in connection
with the granting of such security interests.  E.Pledge of Equity in Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 
The Borrower agrees to pledge (or cause its Domestic Subsidiaries to

entering into by such Foreign Subsidiary of a guaranty in substantially the
form of the Subsidiary Guaranty or (iii) the entering into by such Foreign
Subsidiary of a security agreement in substantially the form of the Security

Subsidiarys United States parent or would otherwise violate applicable law or
result in adverse tax consequences to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries
(including, without limitation, in the form of distributions payable to any Parent Company pursuant to the
Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Borrower), then in the case of a
failure to deliver the evidence described in clause (i) above, that
portion of such Foreign Subsidiarys outstanding Capital Stock not theretofore

the extent permitted without violating applicable law or resulting in adverse
tax consequences.  The deliveries set

the security interests set forth above outweigh the benefits that such security
interests provide to the Lenders.  15.12.End of Fiscal Years; Fiscal Quarters  The Borrower will, and

Pension Plan as if it were subject to ERISA; or (ii) any Foreign Pension
Plan that is required by applicable law to be funded in a trust or other
funding vehicle has failed to comply with such funding requirements; if, as of
the date thereof or as of any subsequent date, the sum of each of the Borrowers
and its Subsidiaries  various
liabilities to any Foreign Pension Plan solely as a result of such events
listed in subclauses (i) and (ii) of this clause (b) exceeds the
Dollar Equivalent of $50,000,000; or  M.Change of Control.  A Change of

upon (at a time when no default exists thereunder) termination thereof to
terminate or permanently cease funding the financing of Receivables Facility
Assets pursuant to such Permitted Accounts Receivable Securitization.  141


If any of the foregoing
Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative
Agent, at the written direction of the Required Lenders, shall take one or more
of the following actions (provided that, in the case of an Event of
Default described in clause (c) above arising solely from a breach
of Section 9.1, prior to the earlier of (x) the date that is
forty-five (45) days after such Event of Default and (y) the date the
Administrative Agent exercises any remedies pursuant to this proviso, the
Administrative Agent shall take such actions (x) at the request of the
Majority Revolving Facility Lenders rather than the Required Lenders and (y) only
with respect to the Revolving Facility): (i) by written or oral or
telephonic notice (in the case of oral or telephonic notice confirmed in
writing immediately thereafter) to the Borrower declare the Total Commitments
to be terminated whereupon the Total Commitments shall forthwith terminate, (ii) by
written or oral or telephonic notice (in the case of oral or telephonic notice
confirmed in writing immediately thereafter) to the Borrower declare all sums
then owing by the Borrower hereunder and under the Loan Documents to be
forthwith due and payable, whereupon all such sums shall become and be
immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or notice of
any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, (iii) terminate
any Letter of Credit in accordance with its terms, (iv) direct the
Borrower to pay (and the Borrower agrees that upon receipt of such notice, or
upon the occurrence of any Event of Default specified in Section 10.1(e) or
Section 10.1(f) with respect to the Borrower it will pay) to
the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office such additional amount of cash,
to be held as security by the Administrative Agent, as is equal to the Assigned
Dollar Value of the aggregate Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit issued for
the account of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and then outstanding, and (v) enforce,
as the Administrative Agent (to the extent permitted under the applicable
Security Documents), or direct the Collateral Agent to enforce pursuant to the
Security Documents, as the case may be, all of the Liens and security interests
created pursuant to the Security Documents. 
In cases of any occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 10.1(e) or
Section 10.1(f) with respect to the Borrower, the Loans,
together with accrued interest thereon, shall become due and payable forthwith
without the requirement of any such acceleration or request, and without
presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are
expressly waived by the Borrower, any provision of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, and other amounts payable by the
Borrower hereunder shall also become immediately due and payable all without
notice of any kind.  Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, (a) the Borrower irrevocably waives
the right to direct the application of any and all payments at any time or
times thereafter received by Agent from or on behalf of the Borrower, and the
Administrative Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and
to reapply any and all payments received at any time or times after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement (including, without limitation, Article IV
hereof), all payments (including the proceeds of any Asset Disposition or other
sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral) received
after acceleration of the Obligations shall be applied:  first, to all fees, costs and expenses
incurred by or owing to the Administrative Agent and any Lender with respect to
this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Collateral; second, to
accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations (including any interest which
but for the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such
amounts); third, to the principal amount of the Obligations outstanding
and to cash  142


collateralize
outstanding Letters of Credit (pro rata among all such Obligations based upon
the principal amount thereof or the outstanding face amount of such Letters of
Credit, as applicable, and with respect to amounts applied to Term Loans, pro
rata among all remaining Scheduled Term Repayments thereof).  Any balance remaining shall be delivered to
the Borrower or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such balance or
as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.  Anything in this Section 10.1
to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request
of the Required Lenders, rescind and annul any acceleration of the Loans by
written instrument filed with the Borrower; provided that at the time such
acceleration is so rescinded and annulled: 
(A) all past due interest and principal (other than principal due
solely as a result of such acceleration), if any, on the Loans and all other
sums payable under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall have been
duly paid, and (B) no other Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing which shall not have been waived in accordance with the provisions
of Section 12.1 hereof.  Upon
any such rescission and annulment, the Administrative Agent shall return to the
Borrower any cash collateral delivered pursuant to the preceding paragraph.  18.2.Rights Not Exclusive  The rights provided for
in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not
exclusive of any other rights, powers, privileges or remedies provided by law
or in equity, or under any other instrument, document or agreement now existing
or hereafter arising.  SECTION 19  THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT  In this Article XI,
the Lenders agree among themselves as follows:  19.1.Appointment  The Lenders hereby
appoint JPMCB as the Administrative Agent (for purposes of this Article XI,
the term Administrative Agent shall, except for purposes of Section 11.9,
include JPMCB in its capacity as the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security
Documents) to act as specified herein and in the other Loan Documents.  Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes and
each holder of any Note by the acceptance of such Note shall be deemed to
irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to take such action on its
behalf under the provisions hereof, the other Loan Documents (including,
without limitation, to give notices and take such actions on behalf of the
Required Lenders as are consented to in writing by the Required Lenders or all
Lenders, as the case may be) and any other instruments, documents and
agreements referred to herein or therein and to exercise such powers hereunder
and thereunder as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the
terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto.  The Administrative Agent may
perform any  143


of its duties
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, by or through its officers,
directors, agents, employees or affiliates.  19.2.Nature of Duties  A.The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or
responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement.  The duties of the Administrative Agent shall
be mechanical and administrative in nature. 
EACH LENDER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT,
SUBJECT TO SECTION 11.2(b), THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL NOT
HAVE, BY REASON OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, A FIDUCIARY
RELATIONSHIP TO OR IN RESPECT OF ANY LENDER.  Nothing in any of the Loan Documents,
expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon
the Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of any of the Loan
Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein.  Each Lender shall make its own independent
investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower in
connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans hereunder and shall
make its own appraisal of the credit worthiness of the Borrower, and the Administrative
Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a
continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information
with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before making of the
Loans or at any time or times thereafter. 
Except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative
Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the
failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the financial institution
serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any
capacity.  The Administrative Agent will
promptly notify each Lender at any time that the Required Lenders have instructed
it to act or refrain from acting pursuant to Article X.  B.The Administrative Agent hereby declares that it,
including in its capacity as Collateral Agent, holds and shall hold:  (a)all rights, title and interest that may
now or hereafter be mortgaged, charged or assigned or otherwise secured in
favor of the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent by or pursuant to
the Loan Documents governed by English law and all proceeds of enforcement of
such security; and  (b)the benefit of all representations,
covenants, guarantees, indemnities and other contractual provisions governed by
English law given in favor of the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral
Agent (other than any such benefits given to the Administrative Agent and/or
the Collateral Agent solely for its own benefit), on trust (for which the
perpetuity period shall be 80 years) for itself and the other Lenders from time
to time.  19.3.Exculpation, Rights Etc.  Neither the
Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, agents, employees or
affiliates shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted by
them  144


hereunder or under
any of the other Loan Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, unless
caused by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The Administrative Agent shall not be
responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, representations or
warranties herein or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability,
collectability, or sufficiency of any of the Loan Documents or any other
document or the financial condition of the Borrower.  The Administrative Agent shall not be
required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of
any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any of the Loan
Documents or any other document or the financial condition of the Borrower, or
the existence or possible existence of any Unmatured Event of Default or Event
of Default unless requested to do so by the Required Lenders.  The Administrative Agent may at any time
request instructions from the Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals
(including the failure to act or approve) which by the terms of any of the Loan
Documents, the Administrative Agent is permitted or required to take or to
grant, and if such instructions are requested, the Administrative Agent shall
be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any
approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person for
refraining from any action or withholding any approval under any of the Loan
Documents until it shall have received such instructions from the Required
Lenders.  Without limiting the foregoing,
no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative
Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting, approving or refraining
from acting or approving under any of the Loan Documents in accordance with the
instructions of the Required Lenders or, to the extent required by Section 12.1,
all of the Lenders.  19.4.Reliance  The Administrative Agent
shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any
notice, writing, resolution notice, statement, certificate, order or other document
or any telephone, telex, teletype, telecopier or electronic message reasonably
believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made
by the proper Person, and, with respect to all matters pertaining herein or to
any of the other Loan Documents and its duties hereunder or thereunder, upon
advice of counsel selected by the Administrative Agent.  19.5.Indemnification  To the extent the
Administrative Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower, the
Lenders will reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent for and against
any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, claims, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or
nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the
Administrative Agent, acting pursuant hereto in such capacity, in any way
relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents
or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents, in proportion to each Lenders
Aggregate  Pro Rata Share of the Total
Commitment; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for
any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, claims, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the
Administrative Agents gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 11.5
shall survive the payment in full of the Notes and the termination of this
Agreement.  145


For purposes of this Section 11.5,
Aggregate Pro Rata Share means, when used with reference to any Lender and
any described aggregate or total amount, an amount equal to the result obtained
by multiplying such desired aggregate or total amount by a fraction the
numerator of which shall be the aggregate principal amount of such Lenders
Loans and the denominator of which shall be aggregate of all of the Loans outstanding
hereunder.  19.6.The Administrative Agent In Its
Individual Capacity  With respect to its Loans
and Commitments (and its Pro Rata Share of each Facility thereof), the
Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers
hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the
extent set forth herein for any other Lender or holder of Obligations.  The terms Lenders, holder of Obligations
or Required Lenders or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly
otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual
capacity as a Lender, one of the Required Lenders or a holder of
Obligations.  The Administrative Agent
may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of
banking, trust or other business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or
affiliate of the Borrower as if it were not acting as the Administrative Agent
hereunder or under any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, the
acceptance of fees or other consideration for services without having to
account for the same to any of the Lenders.  19.7.Notice of Default  The Administrative Agent
shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event
of Default or Unmatured Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative
Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to
this Agreement describing such Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default
and stating that such notice is a notice of default.  In the event that the Administrative Agent
receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice
thereof to the Lenders.  19.8.Holders of Obligations  The Administrative Agent
may deem and treat the payee of any Obligation as reflected on the books and
records of the Administrative Agent as the owner thereof for all purposes
hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof
shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 12.8(c).
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 any Obligation
shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or
assignee of such Obligation or of any Obligation or Obligations granted in
exchange therefor.  19.9.Resignation by the Administrative Agent  A.The Administrative Agent may resign from the
performance of all its functions and duties hereunder at any time by giving
fifteen (15) Business Days prior written notice to the Borrower and the
Lenders.  Such resignation shall take
effect upon the acceptance by a successor Administrative Agent of appointment
pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below or as otherwise provided below.  146


B.Upon any such notice of resignation, the Required
Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent who shall be
satisfactory to the Borrower and shall be an incorporated bank or trust
company.  C.If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have
been so appointed within said fifteen (15) Business Day period, the
Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Borrower, shall then appoint a
successor who shall serve as the Administrative Agent until such time, if any,
as the Required Lenders, with the consent of the Borrower, appoint a successor
the Administrative Agent as provided above.  D.If no successor Administrative Agent has been
appointed pursuant to clause (b) or (c) by the twentieth (20th)
Business Day after the date such notice of resignation was given by the
Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agents resignation shall become
effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of
the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required
Lenders, with the consent of the Borrower, appoint a successor Administrative
Agent as provided above.  E.Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at
any time the Required Lenders determine that the Person serving as
Administrative Agent is (without taking into account any provision in the
definition of Defaulting Lender requiring notice from or a determination by
the Administrative Agent or any other party) a Defaulting Lender, the Required
Lenders (determined after giving effect to Section 12.1) may, with
the consent of the Borrower and by notice to such Person, remove such Person as
Administrative Agent and, with the consent of the Borrower, appoint a
replacement Administrative Agent hereunder. 
Such removal will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be
effective on the date a replacement Administrative Agent is appointed in
accordance with this paragraph.  F.In addition to the foregoing, if (i) a Revolving
Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, an Impaired Lender, and (ii) the
Borrower has failed to comply with its obligations pursuant to Section 3.8(a)(ii),
any Facing Agent and/or the Swing Line Lender may, upon prior written notice to
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, resign as Facing Agent or Swing Line
Lender, respectively, effective at the close of business New York time on a
date specified in such notice (which date may not be less than 30 days after
the date of such notice); provided that such resignation by a Facing Agent will
have no effect on the validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit then
outstanding or on the obligations of the Borrower or any Lender under this
Agreement with respect to any such outstanding Letter of Credit or otherwise to
the Facing Agent; and provided, further, that such resignation by the Swing
Line Lender will have no effect on its rights in respect of any outstanding
Swing Line Loans or on the obligations of the Borrower or any Lender under this
Agreement with respect to any such outstanding Swing Line Loan.  G.Any resignation by the Administrative Agent pursuant
to Section 11.9(a) shall, unless the Administrative Agent gives
notice to the Borrower otherwise, also constitute its resignation as a Facing
Agent and the Swing Line Lender, and such resignation as a Facing Agent and the
Swing Line Lender shall become effective simultaneously with the discharge of
the Administrative Agent from its duties and obligations as set forth in Section 11.9(a) (except
as to already outstanding Letters of Credit and LC Obligations issued by it and
Swing Line Loans  147


made by it, as to
which such Facing Agent and the Swing Line Lender shall continue in such
capacities until the LC Obligations relating thereto shall be reduced to zero and
such Swing Line Loans shall have been repaid, as applicable, or until the
successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to the roles of a Facing Agent and
the Swing Line Lender in accordance with the next sentence and perform the
actions required by the next sentence). 
Upon the acceptance of a successors appointment as Administrative Agent
hereunder, unless the retiring Administrative Agent and such successor gives
notice to Borrower otherwise, (i) such successor shall succeed to and
become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring Facing Agent and Swing Line Lender and (ii) the successor Facing
Agent shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit,
if any, outstanding at the time of such succession and issued by the retiring
Facing Agent or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Facing
Agent to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Facing Agent with
respect to such Letters of Credit.  At
the time any such resignation of a Facing Agent shall become effective, the
Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the retiring
Facing Agent pursuant to Section 2.9(e).  H.Notwithstanding the resignation of DB as
Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (the Resigning Agent) as of
the Fifth Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower and each Lender agree that the
provisions of this Article XI and any other provisions of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document regarding payment of costs and expenses
and indemnification of the Administrative Agent or theCollateral
Agent, together with any provision of any Loan Document that shall accrue to
the benefit of any retiring or resigning Agent, shall continue to inure to the
benefit of the Resigning Agent on and following the Fifth Amendment Effective
Date with respect to actions of the Resigning Agent taken (i) on or prior
to the Fifth Amendment Effective Date, and (ii) subsequent to the Fifth
Amendment Effective Date pursuant to the Loan Documents or that certain
Successor Agency Agreement, dated as of the Fifth Amendment Effective Date, by
and among JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., the Resigning Agent and the Borrower.  DB shall be a third party beneficiary for
purposes of this Section 11.9(h).  19.10.Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent as UK
Security Trustee  A.In
this Agreement, any rights and remedies exercisable by, any documents to be
delivered to, or any other indemnities or obligations in favor of the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall be, as the case may be,
exercisable by, delivered to, or be indemnities or other obligations in favor
of, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (or any other Person
acting in such capacity) in its capacity as the UK Security Trustee to the
extent that the rights, deliveries, indemnities or other obligations relate to
the UK Security Documents or the security thereby created.  Any obligations of the Administrative Agent
or the Collateral Agent (or any other Person acting in such capacity) in this
Agreement shall be obligations of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral
Agent in its capacity as UK Security Trustee to the extent that the obligations
relate to the UK Security Documents or the security thereby created.  Additionally, in its capacity as UK Security
Trustee, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (or any other Person
acting in such capacity) shall have(i)all the rights, remedies and
benefits in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent contained
in the provisions of the whole of this Section 11.10; (ii) all
the powers of an absolute owner of the security constituted by the UK Security
Documents and (iii) all the rights, remedies and powers granted  148


to it and be subject to all the obligations and duties
owed by it under the UK Security Documents and/or any of the Loan Documents.  B.Each
Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent hereby appoint the UK
Security Trustee to act as its trustee under and in relation to the UK Security
Documents and to hold the assets subject to the security thereby created as
trustee for itself and other Secured Parties on the trusts and other terms
contained in the UK Security Documents and the Administrative Agent and each
Secured Party hereby irrevocably authorize the UK Security Trustee to exercise
such rights, remedies, powers and discretions as are specifically delegated to
the UK Security Trustee by the terms of the UK Security Documents together with
all such rights, remedies, powers and discretions as are reasonably incidental
thereto.  C.Any
reference in this Agreement to Liens stated to be in favor of the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall be construed so as to
include a reference to Liens granted in favor of the UK Security Trustee.  D.The
Lenders agree that at any time that the UK Security Trustee shall be a Person
other than the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, such other Person
shall have the rights, remedies, benefits and powers granted to the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in its capacity as the UK Security
Trustee in this Agreement.  E.Nothing in this Section 11.10
shall require the UK Security Trustee to act as a trustee at common law or to
be holding any property on trust, in any jurisdiction outside the United States
or the United Kingdom which may not operate under principles of trust or where
such trust would not be recognized or its effects would not be enforceable.  19.11.The Joint Lead Arrangers, Joint Book Runners,
Co-Syndication Agents, Co-Documentation Agents and Senior Managing Agents.  Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Loan Document, each
of the Joint Lead Arrangers, Joint Book Runners, Co-Syndication Agents,
Co-Documentation Agents and Senior Managing Agents are named as such for
recognition purposes only, and in their respective capacities as such shall
have no powers, duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby
and thereby; it being understood and agreed that the Joint Lead Arrangers,
Joint Book Runners, Co-Syndication Agents, Co-Documentation Agents and Senior
Managing Agents shall be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement
rights in favor of Agents as provided for under Section 11.5.  Without limitation of the foregoing, none of
Joint Lead Arrangers, Joint Book Runners, Co-Syndication Agents,
Co-Documentation Agents and Senior Managing Agents shall, solely by reason of
this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, have any fiduciary relationship in
respect of any Lender or any other Person.  149


SECTION 20  MISCELLANEOUS  20.1.No Waiver; Modifications in Writing  A.Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no
failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in
exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or
remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right, power or remedy.  The
remedies provided for herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any
remedies that may be available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender at law
or in equity or otherwise.  Neither this

other change shall, without the consent of each Lender (other than a Defaulting
Lender) with Obligations directly affected thereby in the case of the following

(iv) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders

Section 2.1(a)(ii)), the definition of Required Lenders shall
include lenders with respect to additional revolving loans or term loans
pursuant to this Agreement so long as such additional revolving loans or term
loans are on substantially the same basis as the Revolving Loans or Term Loans,
as the case may be, are included on the date hereof) or (v) consent to the
assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement; provided, further, that no such amendment,
modification, supplement, waiver, discharge, termination or other change shall (1) increase
the Commitments of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect without
the consent of such Lender (it being understood that waivers or modifications
of conditions precedent, covenants, Events of Default or Unmatured Events of
Default shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of any Lender, and

provision of Section 2.9 or alter such Facing Agents rights or
obligations with respect to Letters of Credit that it has issued or may be
required to issue, (3) without the consent of the Administrative Agent,

Facilities pursuant to Section 4.5(a) (although the Required
Lenders may waive in whole or in part, any such prepayment, repayment (other
than Scheduled Term Repayments) or commitment reduction so long as the
application, as amongst the various Facilities, of any such prepayment,
repayment or commitment reduction which is still required to be made is not
altered).  B.If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver,
discharge or termination to any of the provisions of this Agreement as
contemplated by clauses (i) through (v), inclusive, of the first proviso

Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other
Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then the Borrower shall have
the right, so long as all non-consenting Lenders whose individual consent is
required are treated as described in either clause (A) or (B) below,
to either (A) replace each such non-consenting Lender or Lenders (or, at
the option of the Borrower if the respective Lenders consent is required with
respect to less than all Loans, to replace only the respective Loans of the
respective non-consenting Lender which gave rise to the need to obtain such
Lenders individual consent) with one or more Replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 3.7
so long as at the time of such replacement, each such Replacement Lender
consents to the proposed amendment, modification, supplement. waiver,
discharge, termination or other change or (B) terminate such
non-consenting Lenders Revolving Commitment and repay all outstanding Loans of
such Lender which gave rise to the need to obtain such Lenders consent, in
accordance with Section 4.1(b) and 4.3; provided
that, unless the Revolving Commitment terminated and Loans repaid pursuant to
the preceding clause (B) are immediately replaced in full at such time
through the addition of new Lenders or the increase of the Commitments and/or
outstanding Loans of existing Lenders (who in each case must specifically
consent thereto), then in the case of any action pursuant to preceding clause
(B), the specific consent of the Required Lenders (determined before giving
effect to the proposed action) thereto shall be required; provided, further,
that in any event the Borrower shall not have the right to replace a Lender,
terminate its Revolving Commitment or repay its Loans solely as a result of the
exercise of such Lenders rights (and the withholding of any required consent
by such Lender) contemplated by the second proviso to the third sentence of Section 12.1(a).  C.In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this
Agreement may be amended with the written consent of Administrative Agent,
Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Term Loans (as
defined below) to permit the refinancing or modification of all outstanding
Term Loans of any Facility (Refinanced Term Loans) with one or more
replacement or modified Term Facilities hereunder (Replacement Term Loans),
provided that (a) any Lender that does not consent to the amendment and
that holds Refinanced Term Loans receives payment in full of the principal
amount of and interest accrued on each Refinanced Term Loan made by it or is
replaced as provided in Section 3.7, (b) the aggregate
principal amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate
principal amount of such Refinanced Term Loans unless the Required Lenders
(treating the Refinanced Loans of any Lender that does not provide Replacement
Term Loans as having been paid in full  151


immediately prior
to the amendment) shall approve such increase, (c) the Applicable Margin
for Eurocurrency Loans and the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans for the
Replacement Term Loans shall not be higher than such applicable margins for the
relevant Term Facility of Refinanced Term Loans unless the Required Lenders
(treating the Refinanced Loans of any Lender that does not provide Replacement
Term Loans as having been paid in full immediately prior to the amendment)
shall approve such increase, (d) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of
such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life
to Maturity of the Refinanced Term Loans at the time of such amendment and (e) all
other terms applicable to such Replacement Term Loans shall be substantially
identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Term
Loans than those applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans except to the extent
necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period
after the latest final maturity of Term Loans in effect immediately prior to
such amendment unless the Required Lenders (treating the Refinanced Loans of
any Lender that does not provide Replacement Term Loans as having been paid in
full immediately prior to the amendment) shall approve such terms.  D.Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the execution and
delivery of all documentation required by Administrative Agent to be delivered
pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(ii) in connection with an
Additional Term Loan, this Agreement shall be deemed amended without further
action by any Lender to reflect, as applicable, the new Lenders and the terms
of such Additional Term Loan.  20.2.Further Assurances  The Borrower agrees to do
such further acts and things and to execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent such additional assignments, agreements, powers and instruments, as the

assure and confirm unto the Administrative Agent its rights, powers and
remedies hereunder.  20.3.Notices, Etc  A.Except where oral or telephonic instructions or

THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY AGENT PARTY IS
FOUND IN A FINAL NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION

MISCONDUCT.  20.4.Costs, Expenses and Taxes  A.Generally.  The Borrower
agrees (without duplication) to pay all reasonable costs and expenses of the
Administrative Agent in connection with the negotiation, preparation, printing,
typing, reproduction, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents and the documents and instruments referred to herein and therein
and any amendment, waiver, consent relating hereto or thereto or other
modifications of (or supplements to) any of the foregoing and any and all other
documents and instruments furnished pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection
herewith or therewith, including without limitation, the reasonable fees and
out-of-pocket expenses of Winston & Strawn LLP, special counsel to the
Administrative Agent and the UK Security Trustee, and any local counsel
retained by the Administrative Agent relative thereto or the reasonable
allocated costs of staff counsel as well as the fees and out-of-pocket expenses
of counsel, independent public accountants and other outside experts retained
by the Administrative Agent or the UK Security Trustee in connection with the
administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and all search
fees, appraisal fees and expenses, title insurance policy fees, costs and
expenses and filing and recording fees and all costs and expenses (including,
without limitation, Attorney Costs), if any, of the Administrative Agent, the
UK Security Trustee and the Lenders in connection with the enforcement of this
Agreement, any of the Loan Documents or any other agreement furnished pursuant
hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith.  In addition, the Borrower shall pay any and
all present and future stamp, documentary transfer, excise, property, and other
similar taxes payable or determined to be payable in connection with the
execution, delivery or enforcement of this Agreement, any Loan Document, or
otherwise with respect to or in connection with any Loan Document, or the
making of any Loan (other than taxes based on the net income of the Lenders),
and agrees to save and hold the Administrative Agent, the UK Security Trustee
and each Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect
to or resulting from any delay by the Borrower in paying, or omission by the
Borrower to pay, such taxes.  Any portion
of the foregoing fees,  costs and
expenses which remains unpaid more than thirty (30) days following the
Administrative Agents, the UK Security Trustees, any Agents or any Lenders
statement and request for payment thereof shall bear interest from the date
that the Borrower receives such statement and request to the date of payment,
for the first 10 days at the Base Rate, and thereafter at the Default
Rate.  Subject to Section 4.7,
the Borrower will indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the UK
Security Trustee, each Agent and each Lender and each director, officer,
employee, partner, advisor, agent, attorney, trustee and Affiliate of the
Administrative Agent, the UK Security Trustee, each Agent and each Lender (each
such Person an Indemnified Party) from and against all losses, claims,
damages, penalties, obligations (including removal or remedial actions),
expenses or liabilities which arise out of, in any way relate to, or result
from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents and to reimburse each Indemnified Party upon their demand, for any
Attorney Costs incurred in connection with investigating, preparing to defend
or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or claim; provided,
however, (a) that no  154


Indemnified Party
shall have the right to be so indemnified hereunder for any loss, claim,
damage, penalties, obligations, expense or liability to the extent it arises or
results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct or bad faith of such
Indemnified Party as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction and
(b) that nothing contained herein shall affect the obligations and
liabilities of the Lenders to the Borrower contained herein.  If any action, suit or proceeding arising
from any of the foregoing is brought against the Administrative Agent, the UK
Security Trustee, any Agent, any Lender or any other Indemnified Party, the
Borrower will, if requested by the Administrative Agent, the UK Security
Trustee, any Agent, any Lender or any such Indemnified Party, resist and defend
such action, suit or proceeding or cause the same to be resisted and defended
by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Person or Persons indemnified or
intended to be indemnified.  Each
Indemnified Party shall, unless the Administrative Agent, the UK Security
Trustee, an Agent, a Lender or other Indemnified Party has made the request
described in the preceding sentence and such request has been complied with,
have the right to employ its own counsel (or (but not as well as) staff
counsel) to investigate and control the defense of any matter covered by such
indemnity and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the
expense of the indemnifying party. 
Excluding any liability to the extent arising out of the gross
negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of any Indemnified Party as finally
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Borrower further agrees to
indemnify and hold each Indemnified Party harmless from all loss, cost
(including Attorney Costs), liability and damage whatsoever incurred by any
Indemnified Party by reason of any violation of any Environmental Laws or
Environmental Permits or for the Release or threatened Release of any
Contaminants into the environment for which the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries has any liability or which occurs upon the Mortgaged Property or
which is related to any property currently or formerly owned, leased or
operated by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or by
reason of the imposition of any Environmental Lien in respect of the Borrower or
its Subsidiaries or which occurs by a breach of any of the representations,
warranties or covenants relating to environmental matters contained herein,
provided that, with respect to any liabilities arising from acts or failure to
act for which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is strictly liable under
any Environmental Law or Environmental Permit, the Borrowers obligation to
each Indemnified Party under this indemnity shall likewise be without regard to
fault on the part of the Borrower or any such Subsidiary.  If the Borrower shall fail to do any act or
thing which it has covenanted to do hereunder or any representation or warranty
on the part of the Borrower or any Subsidiary contained herein or in any other Loan
Document shall be breached, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be
obligated to) do the same or cause it to be done or remedy any such breach, and
may expend its funds for such purpose, and will use its best efforts to give
prompt written notice to the Borrower that it proposes to take such
action.  Any and all amounts so expended
by the Administrative Agent shall be repaid to it by the Borrower promptly upon
the Administrative Agents demand therefor, with interest at the Default Rate
in effect from time to time during the period including the date so expended by
the Administrative Agent to the date of repayment.  To the extent that the undertaking to
indemnify, pay or hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the UK Security
Trustee or any Lender as set forth in this Section 12.4 may be
unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower
shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of
the indemnified liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.   The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 12.4
shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the assignment by any Lender
of all or any part of its Credit Exposure hereunder and the discharge  155


of the Borrowers other
Obligations hereunder.Except
as specifically provided for in this Agreement, no party hereto shall be
entitled to recover from any other party hereto any amount in respect of
exemplary, punitive, special, indirect, remote, or speculative damages, including
lost profits.  B.Foreign Exchange Indemnity. 
If any sum due from the Borrower under this Agreement or any order or
judgment given or made in relation hereto has to be converted from the currency
(the first currency) in which the same is payable hereunder or under
such order or judgment into another currency (the second currency) for
the purpose of (i) making or filing a claim or proof against the Borrower
with any Governmental Authority or in any court or tribunal, or (ii) enforcing
any order or judgment given or made in relation hereto, the Borrower shall
indemnify and hold harmless each of the Persons to whom such sum is due from
and against any loss actually suffered as a result of any discrepancy between (a) the
rate of exchange used to convert the amount in question from the first currency
into the second currency, and (b) the rate or rates of exchange at which
such Person, acting in good faith in a commercially reasonable manner,
purchased the first currency with the second currency after receipt of a sum
paid to it in the second currency in satisfaction, in whole or in part, of any
such order, judgment, claim or proof. 
The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate obligation of the
Borrower distinct from its other obligations hereunder and shall survive the
giving or making of any judgment or order in relation to all or any of such
other obligations.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, payments of principal and interest on Loans denominated in Euros,
Sterling or an Alternative Currency, as the case may be, shall be made in
Euros, Sterling or such Alternative Currency, as the case may be.  C.Notwithstanding the resignation of the Resigning Agent
as of the Fifth Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower agrees that the
provisions of this Section 12.4 and any other provisions of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document regarding payment of costs and expenses
and indemnification of the Administrative Agent or theCollateral
Agent, together with any provision of any Loan Document that shall accrue to
the benefit of any retiring or resigning Agent, shall continue to inure to the
benefit of the Resigning Agent on and following the Fifth Amendment Effective
Date with respect to actions of the Resigning Agent taken (i) on or prior
to the Fifth Amendment Effective Date, and (ii) subsequent to the Fifth
Amendment Effective Date pursuant to the Loan Documents or that certain
Successor Agency Agreement, dated as of the Fifth Amendment Effective Date, by
and among JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., the Resigning Agent and the Borrower.  DB shall be a third party beneficiary for
purposes of this Section 12.4(c).  20.5.Confirmations  Each of the Borrower and
each holder of any portion of the Obligations agrees from time to time, upon
written request received by it from the other, to confirm to the other in
writing (with a copy of each such confirmation to the Administrative Agent) the
aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loan or Loans and other Obligations
then outstanding.  156


20.6.Adjustment; Setoff  A.If any lender (a Benefited Lender) shall at
any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans, or interest thereon,
or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or
involuntarily, by setoff, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature
referred to in Section 10.1(e) or Section 10.1(f) hereof,
or otherwise) in a greater proportion than any such payment to and collateral
received by any other Lender in respect of such other Lenders Loans or interest
thereon not expressly provided hereby, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for
cash from the other Lenders such portion of each such other Lenders Loans, or
shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or
the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to
share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably
with each Lender except to the extent expressly provided hereby; provided,
however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits
is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be
rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such
recovery, but without interest unless the Benefited Lender from which such
excess payment is recovered is required by court order to pay interest thereon,
in which case each Lender returning funds to such Benefited Lender shall pay
its pro rata share of such interest.  The
Borrower agrees that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lenders
Loans may exercise all rights of payment (including, without limitation, rights
of setoff) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the
direct holder of such portion.  B.In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders
provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the
Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower, upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to setoff  and apply against any Obligations, whether
matured or unmatured, of the Borrower to such Lender, any amount owing from
such Lender to the Borrower, at or at any time after, the happening of  any of the above-mentioned events, and the aforesaid
right of setoff may be exercised by such Lender against the Borrower or against
any trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of
creditors, receivers, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of the
Borrower, or against anyone else claiming through or against, the Borrower or
such trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of
creditors, receivers, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor,
notwithstanding the fact that such right of setoff shall not have been
exercised by such Lender prior to the making, filing or issuance, or service
upon such Lender of, or of notice of, any such petition, assignment for the
benefit of creditors, appointment or application for the appointment of a
receiver, or issuance of execution, subpoena, order or warrant.  Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application
made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect
the validity of such setoff and application.  C.The Borrower expressly agrees that to the extent the
Borrower makes a payment or payments and such payment or payments, or any part
thereof, are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, set aside or are required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or
any other party under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or
equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment or repayment, the
Indebtedness to the Lenders or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be
revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment or payments
had not been made.  157


20.7.Execution in Counterparts  A.This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts
and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which
counterparts, 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 Agreement.  Delivery of an executed
counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be
effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.  B.Electronic Execution of Assignments. 
The words execution, signed, signature, and words of like import
in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic
signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be
of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature
or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the
extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal
Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State
Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on
the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.  20.8.Binding Effect; Assignment; Addition and
Substitution of Lenders  A.This Agreement shall be binding upon, and
inure to the benefit of, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Resigning
Agent, the Lenders, all future holders of the Notes and their respective
successors and assigns; provided, however, that the Borrower may
not assign its rights or obligations hereunder or in connection herewith or any
interest herein (voluntarily, by operation of law or otherwise) without the
prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and all of the Lenders.  B.Each
Lender may at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (Participants)
participating interests in all or any portion of its Commitment and Loans or
participation in Letters of Credit or any other interest of such Lender
hereunder (in respect of any Lender, its Credit Exposure).  In the event of any such sale by a Lender of
participating interests to a Participant, such Lenders obligations under this
Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible
for the performance thereof, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with
such Lenders rights and obligations under this Agreement.  At the time of the sale of a participating
interest, the Lender transferring the interest (i) shall cause the
Participant to provide the forms required under Section 4.7(d) as
if such Participant became a Lender on the date of the sale and (ii) shall,
if required under applicable law, deliver revised forms in accordance Section 4.7(d) reflecting
the portion of the interest sold and the portion of the interest retained.  Further, the Participant shall be subject to
the obligations of Section 3.6 and Section 4.7 as if
such Participant was a Lender.  The
Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement or any of the
Loan Documents are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have
become due and payable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff
in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement
and the Loan Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating
interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document; provided, however, that such  158


right of setoff shall be subject to the obligation of such
Participant to share with the Lenders, and the Lenders agree to share with such
Participant, as provided in Section 12.6.  The Borrower also agrees that each Participant
shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.6 and Section 4.7
with respect to its participation in the Loans outstanding from time to time,
as if such Participant becomes a Lender on the date it acquired an interest
pursuant to this Section 12.8(b); provided that, no
participation shall be made to any Person under this section if, at the time of
such participation, the Participants benefits under Section 3.6 or
Section 4.7 would be greater than the benefits that the
participating Lender was entitled to under Section 3.6 or Section 4.7
(and if any participation is made in violation of the foregoing, the
Participant will not be entitled to the incremental amounts).  Each Lender agrees that any agreement between
such Lender and any such Participant in respect of such participating interest
shall not restrict such Lenders right to approve or agree to any amendment,
restatement, supplement or other modification to, waiver of, or consent under,
this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents except to the extent that any of
the foregoing would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or
Note in which such Participant is participating (it being understood that
amending the definition of any Scheduled Term B Dollar Repayments (other than
the Term B Loan Maturity Date), shall not constitute an extension of the final
scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note) or extend the stated maturity of any
Letter of Credit in which such Participant is participating beyond the Revolver
Termination Date, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest
or fees on any such Loan, Note or Letter of Credit (except in connection with a
waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or
reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the Participants
participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that
waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, representations,
warranties, Events of Default or Unmatured Events of Default or of a mandatory
reduction in Commitments shall not constitute a change in the terms of such
participation, and that an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be
permitted without the consent of any Participant if the Participants
participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the
assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement or (iii) release all or substantially all of the
Collateral under all of the Security Documents (except as expressly provided in
the Loan Documents) supporting the Loans and/or Letters of Credit hereunder in
which such Participant is participating.  C.Any
Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees, including an
Affiliate thereof (each an Assignee), all or any part of its Credit
Exposure pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, provided
that any assignment of all or any portion of any Lenders Credit Exposure to an
Assignee other than an Affiliate of such Lender or another Lender, or in the
case of a Lender that is a Fund, any Related Fund of any Lender (i) shall
be an assignment of its Credit Exposure in an amount not less than the Dollar
Equivalent of $1,000,000 (treating any Fund and its Related Funds as a single
Eligible Assignee) (or if less the entire amount of Lenders Credit Exposure
with respect to such Facility, provided, that, if such Lender and its
Affiliates (or in the case of a Fund and its Related Funds) collectively hold
Credit Exposure at least equal to such minimum amounts, any one or more of such
Affiliates and/or Related Funds must simultaneously assign Credit Exposure such
that the aggregate Credit Exposure assigned satisfies such minimum amount) and (ii) shall
require the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be
unreasonably withheld) and, other than with respect to assignments by the Joint
Lead Arrangers, and their Affiliates during the primary syndication of this
Agreement, provided no Event of Default then exists and is  159


continuing, the Borrower (the consent of the Borrower not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), and; provided, further, that
notwithstanding the foregoing limitations, any Lender may at any time assign
all or any part of its Credit Exposure to any Affiliate of such Lender or to
any other Lender (or in the case of a Lender which is a Fund, to any Related
Fund of such Lender), except that no Revolving Lender may assign all or any
part of its Credit Exposure relating to the Revolving Facility to any Person
other than another Revolving Lender without the prior written consent (in each
case not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Administrative Agent,
each Facing Agent, the Swing Line Lender 
and, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Borrower.  Upon execution of an
Assignment and Assumption Agreement and the payment of a nonrefundable
assignment fee of $3,500 (provided that no such fee shall be payable upon assignments
by any Lender which is a Fund to one or more Related Funds and only one such
fee shall be payable for contemporaneous assignments by a Lender to Related
Funds) in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at its
Payment Office in connection with each such assignment, written notice thereof
by such transferor Lender to the Administrative Agent and the recording by the
Administrative Agent of such assignment and the resulting effect upon the
Loans, Revolving Commitment of the assigning Lender and the Assignee, the
Assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment, the same rights,
benefits and obligations as it would have if it were a Lender hereunder and the
holder of the Obligations (provided that the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with the
assignor Lender in connection with the interests so assigned to the Assignee
until written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions,
addresses and related information with respect to the Assignee, shall have been
given to the Borrower  and the
Administrative Agent by the assignor Lender and the Assignee) and, if the
Assignee has expressly assumed, for the benefit of the Borrower, some or all of
the transferor Lenders obligations hereunder, such transferor Lender shall be
relieved of its obligations hereunder to the extent of such assignment and
assumption, and except as described above, no further consent or action by the
Borrower, the Lenders, or the Administrative Agent shall be required.  At the time of each assignment pursuant to
this Section 12.8(c) to a Person which is not already a Lender
hereunder, the respective Assignee shall provide to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent the appropriate forms and certificates as provided in Section 4.7(d),
if applicable.  Each Assignee shall take
such Credit Exposure subject to the provisions of this Agreement and to any
request made, waiver or consent given or other action taken hereunder, prior to
the receipt by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of written notice of
such transfer, by each previous holder of such Credit Exposure.  Such Assignment and Assumption Agreement
shall be deemed to amend this Agreement and Schedule 1.1(a) hereto,
to  the extent, and only to the extent,
necessary to reflect the addition of such Assignee as a Lender and the
resulting adjustment of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such
transferor Lender under this Agreement, the Maximum Commitment, the
determination of its Pro Rata Share (rounded to twelve decimal places), the
Loans, any outstanding Letters of Credit and any new Notes, if requested, to be
issued, at the Borrowers expense, to 
such Assignee, and no further consent or action by the Borrower or the
Lenders shall be required to effect such amendments.  D.The
Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Assignee
(each, a Transferee) and any prospective Transferee any and all
financial information in such Lenders possession concerning the Borrower and
any Subsidiary of the Borrower which has been delivered to such Lender by the
Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Lender
by the Borrower in connection with such Lenders credit  160


evaluation of the Borrower prior to entering into this Agreement, provided
that, such Transferee or prospective Transferee agrees to treat any such
information which is not public as confidential in accordance with the terms of
Section 12.14 hereof.  E.Notwithstanding
any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time
pledge or assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the Notes held by it) to
any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Federal Reserve
Board without notice to, or the consent of, the Borrower, provided that,
no such pledge or assignment of a security interest under this Section 12.8(e) shall
release a Lender from any obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee
or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
Any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Notes or
Loans to its trustee or its security holders in support of its obligations to
its trustee.  No such pledge or
assignment shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder.  F.In
the event that the holder of any Note (including any Lender) shall transfer
such Note, it shall immediately advise Administrative Agent and Borrower of such
transfer, and Administrative Agent and Borrower shall be entitled conclusively
to assume that no transfer of any Note has been made by any holder (including
any Lender) unless and until Administrative Agent and Borrower shall have
received written notice to the contrary. 
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or as otherwise expressly
agreed in writing by all of the other parties hereto, no Lender shall, by
reason of the transfer of a Note or otherwise, be relieved of any of its
obligations hereunder.  Each transferee
of any Note shall take such Note subject to the provisions of this Agreement
and to any request made, waiver or consent given or other action taken
hereunder, prior to the receipt by Administrative Agent and Borrower of written
notice of such transfer, by each previous holder of such Note, and, except as
expressly otherwise provided in such transfer, Administrative Agent and
Borrower shall be entitled conclusively to assume that the transferee named in
such notice shall hereafter be vested with all rights and powers under this
Agreement with respect to the Pro Rata Share of the Loans of the Lender named
as the payee of the Note which is the subject of such transfer.  20.9.CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; MUTUAL WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL  (A)EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE

OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH RESPECTIVE JURISDICTIONS.  161


(B)AS A METHOD OF SERVICE, THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE

TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHT, POWER
OR REMEDY UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT.  THE TERMS AND THE PROVISIONS

THIS AGREEMENT.  20.10.GOVERNING LAW  THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH NOTE SHALL BE DEEMED TO
BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND FOR ALL
PURPOSES SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS AND DECISIONS
OF SAID STATE.  20.11.Severability
of Provisions  Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or
enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.  20.12.Headings  The Table of Contents and Article and Section headings
used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not
affect the construction of this Agreement.  20.13.Termination
of Agreement  This Agreement shall terminate when the Commitment of each Lender
has terminated and all outstanding Obligations and Loans have been paid in full
and all Letters of Credit have expired or been terminated; provided, however,
that the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and each Lender with
respect to any representation and warranty made by the Borrower pursuant to
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and the indemnification provisions
contained in this Agreement and any other Loan Document, shall be continuing
and shall survive any termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.  162


20.14.Confidentiality  Each of the Lenders severally agrees to keep confidential all
non-public information pertaining to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and
their respective predecessors in interest which is provided to it by any such
parties in accordance with such Lenders customary procedures for handling
confidential information of this nature and in a prudent fashion, and shall not
disclose such information to any Person except (i) to the extent such
information is public when received by such Lender or becomes public thereafter
due to the act or omission of any party other than a Lender, (ii) to the
extent such information is independently obtained from a source other than the
Borrower or its Subsidiaries and such information from such source is not, to
such Lenders knowledge, subject to an obligation of confidentiality or, if
such information is subject to an obligation of confidentiality, that
disclosure of such information is permitted, (iii) to an Affiliate of such
Lender (or its investment advisor), counsel, auditors, ratings agencies,
examiners of any regulatory authority having or asserting jurisdiction over
such Lender, accountants and other consultants retained by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender or to any Affiliate of a Lender which is a direct or
indirect contractual counterparty in swap agreements with the Borrower or a
Subsidiary of the Borrower or such contractual counterpartys professional
advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to
such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 12.14)
or to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar
organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to
information about a Lenders investment portfolio in connection with rating
issued with respect to such Lender, (iv) in connection with any litigation
or the enforcement of the rights of any Lender or the Administrative Agent
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (v) to the extent (x) required
by any applicable statute, rule or regulation or court order (including,
without limitation, by way of subpoena) or pursuant to the request of any
Governmental Authority having or asserting jurisdiction over any Lender or the
Administrative Agent or any of their respective affiliates; provided, however,
that in such event, if the Lender(s) are not legally prohibited from doing
so, the Lender shall provide the Borrower with prompt notice of such requested
disclosure so that the Borrower may seek a protective order or other
appropriate remedy, and, in any event, the Lenders will endeavor in good faith
to provide only that portion of such information which, in the reasonable
judgment of the Lender(s), is relevant and legally required to be provided (y) requested
by any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information
about a Lenders investment portfolio in connection with rating issued with
respect to such Lender or (z) requested by any pledgee referred to in Section 12.8(e) or
a direct or indirect contractual counterparty in swap agreements with a Lender
or a Person that such Lender is a direct or indirect counterparty in a swap
agreement or such contractual counterpartys professional advisor (so long as
such pledgee or contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such
contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 12.14)
or (vi) to the extent disclosure to other entities is appropriate in
connection with any proposed or actual assignment or grant of a participation
by any of the Lenders of interests in this Agreement and/or any of the other
Loan Documents to such other entities (who will in turn be required to maintain
confidentiality as if they were Lenders parties to this Agreement).  In no event shall the Administrative Agent or
any Lender be obligated or required to return any such information or other
materials furnished by the Borrower.  163


20.15.Concerning
the Collateral and the Loan Documents  A.Authority.  Each Lender authorizes and directs JPMCB and/or
its designated affiliate to act as Collateral Agent under the Collateral
Security Agreement and or UK Security Trustee under the UK Security Documents
and to enter into the Loan Documents relating to the Collateral (including,
without limitation, the Collateral Security Agreement) for the benefit of the
Lenders and the other Secured Parties. 
Each Lender agrees that any action taken by the Administrative Agent or
the Required Lenders (or, where required by the express terms hereof, a
different proportion of the Lenders) in accordance with the provisions hereof
or of the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Administrative Agent,
the Collateral Agent, the UK Security Trustee or the Required Lenders (or,
where so required, such different proportion) 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 of the Lenders. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent,
as the case may be, shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to (i) act
as the disbursing and collecting agent for the Lenders with respect to all
payments and collections arising in connection herewith and with the Loan Documents
relating to the Collateral; (ii) execute and deliver each Loan Document
relating to the Collateral and accept delivery of each such agreement delivered
by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) act as Collateral Agent
for the Lenders and certain other Secured Parties for purposes stated in the
Security Documents to the extent such perfection is required under the Loan
Documents, provided, however, the Collateral Agent hereby
appoints, authorizes and directs each Lender to act as collateral sub-agent for
the Collateral Agent and the Lenders for purposes of the perfection of all
security interests and Liens with respect to the Borrowers and its
Subsidiaries respective deposit accounts maintained with, and cash and Cash
Equivalents held by, such Lender; (iv) manage, supervise and otherwise
deal with the Collateral; (v) take such action as is necessary or
desirable to maintain the perfection and priority of the security interests and
liens created or purported to be created by the Loan Documents, and (vi) except
as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms hereof or of any other
Loan Document, exercise all remedies given to the Administrative Agent or the
Lenders with respect to the Collateral under the Loan Documents relating
thereto, applicable law or otherwise.  B.Release
of Collateral.  (a)The
Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby direct the Administrative Agent,
the Collateral Agent or the UK Security Trustee, as the case may be, to
release, in accordance with the terms hereof, any Lien held by the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the UK Security Trustee, as the
case may be, for the benefit of the Secured Parties (and in the case of a sale
of all of the assets or Capital Stock of a Subsidiary under clause (B) below,
to release the affected Subsidiary from its guaranty):  (i)against
all of the Collateral, upon final and indefeasible payment in full of the Loans
and Obligations and termination hereof;  (ii)against
any part of the Collateral sold, transferred or disposed of by the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries to the extent such sale, transfer or  164


disposition is permitted hereby (or permitted pursuant to a waiver
or consent of a transaction otherwise prohibited hereby);  (iii)against
any Collateral acquired by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries after theClosing Dateand at least 70%
of the purchase price therefor is within 120 days of the acquisition thereof
financed with Indebtedness secured by a Lien permitted by Section 8.1(c);  (iv)so
long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in the
sole discretion of the Administrative Agent upon the request of the Borrower,
against any part of the Collateral with a fair market value of less than
$10,000,000 in the aggregate during the term of this Agreement as such fair
market value may be certified to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent
and the UK Security Trustee by the Borrower in an officers certificate
acceptable in form and substance to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent and the UK Security Trustee;  (v)against
a part of the Collateral which release does not require the consent of all of
the Lenders as set forth in Section 12.1(a)(ii), if such release is
consented to by the Required Lenders;  (vi)against
the Collateral consisting of Receivables Facility Assets upon the entry by the
Borrower and/or its Subsidiaries into a Permitted Account Receivable
Securitization; provided, however, that (y) neither the Administrative
Agent nor the Collateral Agent nor the UK Security Trustee shall be required to
execute any such document on terms which, in its opinion, would expose it to
liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the
release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (z) such release
shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any
Liens upon (or obligations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in
respect of) all interests retained by the Borrower and/or any of its
Subsidiaries, including (without limitation) the proceeds of any sale, all of
which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral; and  (vii)against any cash collateral securing LC
Obligations as contemplated by Section 5.4 and Article IX,
upon the written request of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or the
applicable Facing Agent, as the case may be, if at the time of the release of
the Lien the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio, on a Pro Forma Basis, for the Test
Period for the most recently ended Fiscal Quarter was not in excess of 3.75 to
1.00.  (b)Each
of the Lenders hereby directs the Administrative Agent to (or to cause the
Administrative Agent to) execute and deliver or file such termination and
partial release statements and such other things as are necessary to release
Liens to be released pursuant to this Section 12.15 promptly upon
the effectiveness of any such release or enter into intercreditor agreements
contemplated or permitted herein.  165


C.No
Obligation. 
Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent nor the UK
Security Trustee shall have any obligation whatsoever to any Lender or to any
other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries or is cared for, protected or insured or has been
encumbered or that the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent or the UK Security Trustee herein or pursuant to the Loan
Documents have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected,
protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to
exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care,
disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities
and powers granted or available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent or the UK Security Trustee in any of the Loan Documents, it being
understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission
or event related thereto, the Administrative Agent the Collateral Agent or the
UK Security Trustee may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole
discretion, given the Administrative Agents, the Collateral Agents and the UK
Security Trustees own interests in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and
that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent nor the UK
Security Trustee shall have any duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender,
provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent and the UK Security Trustee shall be responsible for their
respective grossly negligent actions or actions constituting intentional
misconduct.  D.Senior
Secured Note Liens. 
Each Lender hereby instructs Administrative Agent and the Collateral
Agent to enter into the Collateral Security Agreement and the Intercreditor
Agreement and the UK Security Trustee to enter into the UK Security Documents
and the Intercreditor Agreement and such amendments or modifications thereto
and to the other Security Documents consistent herewith and as Administrative
Agent or the Collateral Agent or the UK Security Trustee reasonably determines
to be necessary to cause the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations
(other than the Capital Stock Collateral) to be pari passu with the Liens on the Senior Secured Note
Obligations (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement).  Each Lender agrees that it shall not
challenge or question in any proceeding the validity or enforceability of this Section 12.15(d) or
any corresponding provisions with respect thereto in the Collateral Security
Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement.  20.16.Intentionally
Omitted  20.17.Registry  The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve
as the Borrowers agent, solely for purposes of this Section 12.17
to maintain a register (the Register) on which it will record the
Commitments from time to time of each of the Lenders, the Loans made by each of
the Lenders and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans
of each Lender.  Failure to make any such
recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect the Borrowers
obligations in respect of such Loans. 
With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the Commitments of such
Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made
pursuant to such Commitments shall not be effective until such transfer is
recorded on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect to
ownership of such Commitments and Loans and prior to such recordation all
amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitments and Loans
shall remain owing to the transferor. 
The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitments
and Loans shall be  166


recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register only upon the
acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered
Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section 12.8(c).  Coincident with the delivery of such an
Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the Administrative Agent for acceptance
and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan, or as soon
thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender
the Note evidencing such Loan, and thereupon one or more new Notes in the same
aggregate principal amount then owing to such assignor or transferor Lender
shall be issued to the assigning or transferor Lender and/or the new Lender.  The Borrower agrees to indemnify the
Administrative Agent from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and
liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or
incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its duties under this Section 12.17.  20.18.Accounts
Receivable Securitization  A.By
its execution of this Agreement, each Lender agrees, for the benefit of the
holders from time to time of interests in trade receivables under the Permitted
Accounts Receivables Securitization not to:  (a)challenge
the true sale characterization of the sales and transfers of Accounts
Receivables by  the Borrower or any
Participating Subsidiary to a Receivables Subsidiary pursuant to a Permitted
Accounts Receivable Securitization;  (b)join
in any proceeding in whole or in part to commence or consent to the
commencement of a case against a Receivables Subsidiary under the Federal
Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar
federal or state law or file a petition seeking or consenting to reorganization
or relief under any applicable federal or state law relating to bankruptcy, or
seek or consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee,
trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of a Receivables Subsidiary
or any substantial part of its assets; or  (c)assert
or consent to any attempt by any person to assert that a Receivables Subsidiary
should be substantively consolidated with the Borrower or any other Subsidiary.  B.By
its execution of this Agreement, each Lender further authorizes the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the UK Security trustee, in each
case, with the approval of the Administrative Agent, to enter into an
intercreditor agreement with the Persons providing a Permitted Accounts
Receivables Securitization as long as the provisions of any such agreement are
not materially more burdensome to the Lenders than are typical for like
receivables transactions.  20.19.Certain
Guarantee Obligations.  The Borrower hereby guarantees all obligations of each of its
Subsidiaries (for so long as such Subsidiary remains a Subsidiary) under all
Interest Rate Agreements and Other Hedging Agreements entered into by such
Subsidiary with any Lender or any Affiliate of a  167


Lender (even if such Person subsequently ceases to be a Lender
hereunder for any reason), which obligations are pursuant to the terms of such
Interest Rate Agreements and Other Hedging Agreements expressly secured by the
security interests granted under the Collateral Security Agreement.  The provisions of Sections 4 through 9 of the
Subsidiary Guaranty are hereby incorporated herein by reference mutatis
mutandis as if all references to Guarantor and Guaranteed Obligations were
references to the Borrower and the obligations guaranteed by this Section 12.19,
respectively.  20.20.Redesignation
of Unrestricted Subsidiaries  AnyUnrestricted
Subsidiary may be redesignated as a Subsidiary provided that (i) the
Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent (not less than 30
days prior to the date the Borrower desires such redesignation to be effective)
a notice signed by a Responsible Financial Officer identifying the Unrestricted
Subsidiary to be so redesignated and providing such other information as the
Administrative Agent may request, (ii) immediately before and immediately
after the effectiveness of such redesignation, no Default or Event of Default
exists or will exist (including, without limitation, the permissibility of any
Investment, Indebtedness, Liens or other obligations existing at such
Subsidiary) and, if the Unrestricted Subsidiary is a Foreign Subsidiary, the
Borrower shall be in compliance with the provisions of Section 8.7(m) as
if the designation of such Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Subsidiary were an
Acquisition, (iii) Borrower has complied, to the extent applicable, with
the provisions of Section 7.11 and the applicable Subsidiary, on
the effective date of such redesignation is in compliance with the terms and
conditions of all applicable Security Documents, (iv) such Unrestricted
Subsidiary is the subsidiary of either the Borrower or a Subsidiary, (v) the
Administrative Agent has received such other documents (including without
limitation any additional security documents whether or not required by Section 7.11),
instruments and opinions as it may reasonably request in connection with such
redesignation, and all such instruments, documents and opinions shall be
reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Administrative Agent and (vi) on
the desired effective date of such redesignation, the Borrower shall deliver a
certificate from a Responsible Officer confirming clauses (ii) through
(v) above and that the representations and warranties contained in
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all
material respects on the date of, and after giving effect to, such
redesignation as though made on such date (except to the extent such
representations and warranties are expressly made of a specified date in which
event they shall be true as of such date). 
Effective at the time of delivery of the certificate required pursuant
to clause (vi) above, the Unrestricted Subsidiary Investment Basket
shall be increased by (A) if such Unrestricted Subsidiary was so
designated after the Effective Date, the fair market value of such Subsidiary
or (B) if such Unrestricted Subsidiary was so designated on the Effective
Date, the lesser of (y) the aggregate amount of outstanding Investments
made after the Effective Date by the Borrower or any Subsidiary in such
Unrestricted Subsidiary or (z) the fair market value of such Unrestricted
Subsidiary immediately prior to the effective date of such redesignation.    The Borrower agrees that any merger or
consolidation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary with or into Borrower or any
Subsidiary shall be required to satisfy the conditions of this Section 12.20
prior to completing any such transaction.  168


20.21.Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent as Joint
Creditors  Each of the Credit
Parties and each Lender and Agent and the Collateral Agent agrees that each of
the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall be a joint and several
creditor (in Dutch: hoofdelijk schuldeiser)
(together with the relevant Lender or Agent) of the Obligations and Guaranteed
Obligations owed to each Lender or Agent under or in connection with all Loan
Documents and that accordingly each of the Administrative Agent and Collateral
Agent will have its own independent right to demand payment and performance by
the obligors of such obligations. 
However, any discharge of a Credit Party of any such obligation to the
Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any other relevant Lender, Agent or
creditor referred to above, shall, to the same extent, discharge such Credit
Party vis-à-vis the others in respect of such obligation, and a Lender, Agent
and the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall not by virtue of this Section be
entitled to pursue a Credit Party concurrently for the same obligation.  20.22.Amendment With Respect to Revolver Events of Default.  No
amendment, modification or waiver ofSection 9.1, any of the financial definitions used in determining
compliance with Section 9.1 or this Section 12.22 or
waiver of any Revolver Event of Default, may be effected without the consent of
the Majority Revolving Facility Lenders.  20.23.Term C Dollar Lenders.  Each Term C Dollar
Lender agrees that upon the earlier to occur of (x) the Term B Loan
Maturity Date and (y) the date that all Term B Dollar Loans are prepaid or
repaid in full (for any reason) (such earlier date, the Determination Date):  (a)Without limitation of any of the terms of
the Loan Documents or any provisions thereof, the Borrower shall have the right
in its sole discretion at any time to refinance or replace all of the
Facilities outstanding immediately prior to the Determination Date under this
Agreement (other than the Term C Dollar Facility) (collectively, the Refinanced
Facility Debt) pursuant to separate credit documentation.  In connection therewith:  (i)all collateral, guarantees and other
credit support that secures, guarantees or otherwise supports the Term C Dollar
Facility pursuant to the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the
Security Documents) shall be available (on a pari  passu basis in
payment and lien priority, and in any event on the same basis as the Facilities
are afforded under the Loan Documents as of the Fourth Amendment Effective
Date) to secure, guarantee or otherwise support any and all such Refinanced
Facility Debt, together with any other senior secured indebtedness of the
Borrower (including, without limitation, one or more revolving and/or term
credit facilities), in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the greater
of (A) the principal amount of Refinanced Facility Debt outstanding on the
Determination Date (or its equivalent in any other currency) and (B) $2,100,000,000
(or its equivalent in any other currency) (such greater amount, the Minimum
Floor Amount), as the Minimum Floor Amount may be  169


reduced after the
Determination Date pursuant to the last sentence of the definition of Permitted
Refinancing Indebtedness; and  (ii)the Loan Documents shall be amended and
other documents and agreements will be entered into (such amendments, documents
and agreements solely requiring the signatures of the Administrative Agent and
the Borrower to be effective) in order to effectuate the foregoing and to make
any necessary conforming changes.  (b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in Section 4.4(c)(i), no prepayment of proceeds from a
Recovery Event shall be required pursuant to such Section to the extent
that (x) no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default then exists and
(y) the Borrower delivers a certificate to the Administrative Agent on or
prior to such date stating that an amount equal to the proceeds of such
Recovery Event is expected to be used to purchase assets used or to be used in
the businesses referred to in Section 8.9 within 360 days following
the date of receipt of such proceeds (which certificate shall set forth the
estimates of the proceeds to be so expended); provided that (1) if all or
any portion of such proceeds not so applied to such prepayment are not so used
(or contractually committed to be used) within such 360 day period as provided
above, such remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of the period or
such earlier date as the Borrower is obligated to make an offer to purchase
Senior Secured Notes (2010) due to such Recovery Event as a mandatory repayment
of principal of outstanding Loans as provided in Section 4.4(c)(i) and
(2) if all or any portion of such proceeds result from a Recovery Event
involving Collateral owned by the Borrower or a Domestic Subsidiary (other than
the Capital Stock of a Foreign Subsidiary), then such proceeds shall be
required to be reinvested in assets located in the United States constituting
Collateral (to the extent not used to repay Loans pursuant to Section 4.4(c)(i)).  (c)Article IXshall no longer apply for any purpose
under this Agreement (including, without limitation, for the purposes of Section 2.1(a)(ii),
Section 7.2(b), Section 8.7(j) and Section 8.7(m)).  (d)Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness
shall mean, with respect to any Indebtedness, any Indebtedness refinancing,
extending, renewing or refunding such Indebtedness; provided, however, that any
such refinancing Indebtedness shall (i) be issued by the same obligor as
the Indebtedness being so refinanced (or by Huntsman Corporation or a Parent
Company) and be on terms, taken as a whole, not more restrictive than the terms
of the documents governing the Indebtedness being so refinanced; (ii) if
the Indebtedness being so refinanced is subordinated to the Obligations, be
subordinated to the Obligations on substantially the same terms (or on terms at
least as favorable to the Lenders) as Indebtedness being so refinanced; (iii) be
in a principal amount (as determined as of the date of the incurrence of such
refinancing Indebtedness in accordance with GAAP) not exceeding the principal
amount of the Indebtedness being refinanced on such date plus any call
premiums, prepayment fees, costs and expenses paid in connection with such
refinancing; (iv) not have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity less than
the Indebtedness being refinanced; (v) if the Indebtedness being
refinanced is Public Notes, be unsecured Indebtedness maturing no earlier than
the then latest Term Maturity Date; and (vi) be upon terms and subject to
documentation which is in form and substance reasonably satisfactory in all
material respects to the Administrative Agent. 
Notwithstanding  170


clauses
(ii) and (v) above, after the Determination Date, any such
Indebtedness refinancing, extending, renewing or refunding the Senior
Subordinated Notes (2013), the Senior Subordinated Notes (2014), the Senior Subordinated
Notes (2015), any similar senior subordinated notes, any senior unsecured notes
and any senior secured notes may be senior second-lien notes, senior unsecured
notes and, to the extent capacity exists pursuant to the Minimum Floor Amount,
senior first-lien secured notes (provided that the Minimum Floor Amount shall
be reduced after the Determination Date by the aggregate principal amount of
any senior first-lien secured Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this sentence,
unless such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness refinances, extends, renews or
refunds senior first-lien secured Indebtedness).  [signature pages follow]  171
