                                    HCA INC.
               2005 SENIOR OFFICER PERFORMANCE EXCELLENCE PROGRAM

PURPOSE AND ADMINISTRATION OF THE PROGRAM

The 2005 Senior Officer Performance Excellence Program (the "Program") has been
established by HCA Inc. (the "Company") to encourage outstanding performance
from its senior officers. Awards paid to Covered Officers, as that term is
defined in the HCA 2000 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2000 Plan"), will be made
pursuant to the 2000 Plan and are governed by the terms of the 2000 Plan. In the
event of any inconsistency between the terms of the Program with respect to such
awards and the 2000 Plan, the terms of the 2000 Plan shall govern. Subject to
the foregoing and applicable law, all designations, determinations,
interpretations, and other decisions under or with respect to the Program or any
award shall be within the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee (the
"Committee"), may be made at any time and shall be final, conclusive and binding
upon all persons. The Committee may at any time delegate to one or more officers
of the Company the authority, subject to such terms and limitations as the
Committee shall determine, to make decisions under or with respect to awards
under the Program, except with respect to awards to persons who are officers of
the Company under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

PARTICIPATION

All officers of the Company who are subject to Section 16 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, who have at least three months employment (a
"Participant") with the Company during 2005 (the "Fiscal Year") are eligible to
receive an award pursuant to the Program.

INCENTIVE CALCULATION AND PAYMENT OF AWARDS

The Committee will make awards pursuant to the Program as set forth on Schedule
1 hereto, such awards to be made on such terms as the Committee may prescribe
based on the performance criteria set forth on Schedule 1 hereto and such other
factors as it may deem appropriate. The targets for the performance criteria
shall be determined by the Committee in its discretion. Awards will be made as
soon as practicable after financial results for the Fiscal Year are known, but
in no event later than ninety (90) days after the end of the Fiscal Year. No
awards will be paid to a Participant if the Committee determines that the
Participant's conduct during the Fiscal Year was inconsistent with the Company's
stated mission and values, the Code of Conduct or the Corporate Integrity
Agreement. Awards pursuant to the Program will be paid in cash and on such other
terms as the Committee may prescribe. Except as the Committee may otherwise
determine in its sole and absolute discretion, termination of Participant's
employment prior to the end of the Fiscal Year, other than for reasons of death
or Disability (as defined in the 2000 Plan) will result in the forfeiture of the
award by the Participant, and no payments shall be made with respect thereto.
This Program is not a "qualified" plan for federal income tax purposes, and any
payments are subject to applicable tax withholding requirements.

Adjustments for Unusual or Nonrecurring Events

The Committee is hereby authorized to make adjustments in the terms and
conditions of, and the criteria included in, awards in recognition of unusual or
nonrecurring events affecting any Participant, the Company, or any subsidiary or
affiliate, or the financial statements of the Company or of any subsidiary or
affiliate; in the event of changes in applicable laws, regulations or accounting
principles; or in the event the Committee determines that such adjustments are
appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or
potential benefits intended to be made available under the Program. The
Committee is also authorized to adjust performance targets or awards (other than
with respect to performance awards to Covered Officers) to avoid unwarranted
penalties or windfalls. Performance awards to Covered Officers may be reduced,
but not increased, in the sole discretion of the Committee in order to avoid
unwarranted windfalls. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no such
adjustment shall be authorized to the extent that such authority would be
inconsistent with an award to a Covered Officer being paid solely on account of
the attainment of pre-established, objective performance goals, all within the
meaning of the regulations promulgated under Section 162(m) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

No Right to Employment

The grant of an award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right
to be retained in the employ of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate.

No Trust or Fund Created

Neither the Program nor any award shall create or be construed to create a trust
or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or
any subsidiary or affiliate and a Participant or any other person. To the extent
that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company or any
subsidiary or affiliate pursuant to an award, such right shall be no greater
than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company or any
subsidiary or affiliate.

No Rights to Awards

No person shall have any claim to be granted any award and there is no
obligation for uniformity of treatment among Participants. The terms and
conditions of awards, if any, need not be the same with respect to each
Participant.

</TABLE>

         (1) Covered Officers shall have the meaning set forth in the 2000 Plan.

         (2) For the purposes of the above calculations, EPS is net income
excluding settlements with government agencies, gains or losses on sales of
facilities, impairment of investment securities, impairment of long-lived
assets, restructuring of operations and investigation costs, losses on
retirement of debt and the related tax effect of all these items. This adjusted
net income amount would then be divided by diluted shares (including the
dilutive effect of options, warrants and other increments) to compute EPS.

         (3) Based on total Company, Group or Division EBITDA, as applicable.
For the purposes of this calculation, EBITDA means income before depreciation
and amortization, interest expense, loss on retirement of debt, settlement with
Federal government, gains and losses on sales of facilities, impairment of
investment securities, impairment of long-lived assets, investigation related
costs, minority interests and income taxes.

         (4) Other measures may include patient, physician, employee or client
satisfaction, or other individual goals.

and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the RC Lenders shall make advances
to the Company until the Revolver Maturity Date up to the aggregate principal

(as the same may be reduced pursuant to this Agreement, the "Revolving Credit
Commitment"); provided however that (a) the aggregate amount of the Revolving
Credit Commitment available for borrowing at any time shall not exceed the

the Revolving Credit Commitment and the Available Commitment which each RC
Lender is obligated to lend shall not exceed at any time the amount or

(as supplemented and amended by giving effect to the assignments contemplated in

this Section 2.1, repay or prepay such advances, and reborrow under this Section
2.1. The amounts loaned to the Company pursuant to the revolver facility
described in this Section 2.1 are referred to as the "Revolving Loans."

         2.1.2 AVAILABLE COMMITMENT. "Available Commitment" shall mean the
initial Revolving Credit Commitment, as the same is reduced by:

                  (a) voluntary reductions in the Revolving Credit Commitment

notice to the Agent to reduce (on a pro rata basis among the RC Lenders)
permanently, in minimum amounts of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) or in whole
multiples of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in excess of Five Million Dollars

RC Lenders the principal amount of the Revolving Loans and/or Swing Loans, to
the extent, if any, that the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loans and Swing
Loans then outstanding plus the aggregate face value of Letters of Credit then
outstanding and Unreimbursed Drawings exceeds the amount of the Available
Commitment as so reduced. If after prepayment of all outstanding Revolving Loans
and Swing Loans, the amounts of outstanding Letters of Credit and Unreimbursed
Drawings exceed the Available Commitment as so reduced, the Company shall pay to
the Agent for the benefit of the RC Lenders an amount by which the aggregate
face value of all outstanding Letters of Credit and Unreimbursed Drawings
exceeds the Available Commitment as so reduced, such amount first to be applied
against Unreimbursed Drawings and the remainder to be maintained by the Agent in
an interest bearing cash collateral account in the name of and for the benefit
of the Agent and the RC Lenders to secure the repayment of Company's obligation
to reimburse the RC Lenders from drafts drawn or which may be drawn under
outstanding Letters of Credit until such time as the applicable Letters of
Credit have expired or been cancelled). At the request of the Agent, accrued
interest on the Loans so prepaid shall be due and payable at the time of such
prepayment. All amounts of principal, interest and fees relating to Revolving
Loans not due and payable prior to the Revolver Maturity Date are due and
payable on that date.

Agreement, the Company shall be permitted to prepay the Revolving Loans at any
time without penalty or premium. In connection with each voluntary prepayment:

intention to prepay,

including the Effective Date to but excluding the Revolver Maturity Date, one or

exceeding at any time $5,000,000, provided, however, that no Swing Loan shall be
made at any time in an amount in excess of the Available Commitment.

         2.2.2 TERMS OF SWING LOAN BORROWINGS. The Company shall give the Swing
Lender notice (which shall be irrevocable) of a request for a Swing Loan (with a

and before or after the maturity date of the subject Swing Loans, but subject to
the provisions of Subsection 2.2.5 (Certain Limitations) below, each RC Lender

     Each RC Lender shall effect such purchase by paying to the Swing Lender
in immediately available funds, without reduction or deduction of any kind,
including reductions or deductions for set-off, recoupment or counterclaim, an
amount equal to such RC Lender's pro rata share of the principal amount of all
Swing Loans then outstanding. Each RC Lender's pro rata share of the Swing Loans
shall be based on the amount of such RC Lender's pro rata share of the total
Revolving Credit Commitment. Thereafter, the RC Lenders' respective interests in
such Swing Loans, and the remaining interest of the Swing Lender in such Swing
Loans, shall in all respects be treated as Revolving Loans under this Agreement,
except that (x) subject to Subsection 2.8.8 (Default Rate) below, such Swing
Loans shall continue to bear interest at the rate specified in Subsection 2.2.2

         2.3.5 VOLUNTARY PREPAYMENTS. The Company may at any time and from time
to time upon five (5) Business Days' prior written notice to the Agent prepay
either Term A Loans or Term B Loans in whole or in part in a minimum amount
equal to $2,000,000 or in incremental amounts equal to $1,000,000 in excess of
such minimum amount, without penalty or premium except as provided in
Subsections 2.8.6 (Additional Costs, Unavailability, Etc.) and 2.10.2 (Breakage)
and Section 11.15 (Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver).

         2.3.6 MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS IN CONNECTION WITH CERTAIN EVENTS. In
addition to the scheduled repayments of the Term Loans, the Company shall prepay
the Loans (and/or reduce the Commitments, as applicable) under the following
circumstances:

                  (a) Asset Sales. The Company shall prepay the Loans in an
amount equal to the Unapplied Net Proceeds from dispositions, provided that so
long as no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default is then existing, and
the Company notifies the Agent of its intent to do so within five (5) Business
Days of receipt thereof, the Company may use the Unapplied Net Proceeds for
Acquisitions permitted by this Agreement made within 270 days from receipt of
the Unapplied Net Proceeds. If the Company does not so notify the Agent of its
intent to use the proceeds in the manner specified above, it shall prepay the
Loans within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the Unapplied Net Proceeds (or
such other time period as the Agent may agree to). Further if the Company does
so notify the Agent, but fails to use the Unapplied Net Proceeds for
Acquisitions within said 270-day period; then it shall prepay the Loans on the
date that is 270 days after the date of receipt of the Unapplied Net Proceeds.
In addition to the foregoing, if pursuant to the Senior Subordinated Indentures
or any other subordinated indenture, the Company is required to use proceeds of
dispositions to prepay Indebtedness thereunder if such proceeds are not used to
prepay senior Indebtedness, the Company shall use the proceeds of such
dispositions to prepay the Loans hereunder at the time specified in such
indenture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
no prepayment of the Loans shall be required in connection with the WABZ
Disposition.

                  (b) Issuance of Equity. At any time that the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries issues equity (other than to the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries and other than in connection with an employee benefit plan
permitted by this Agreement), the Company shall prepay the Loans in an amount
equal to 50% of the Net Cash Proceeds of the issuance, provided that so long as
no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default is then existing, and the
Company notifies the Agent of its intent to do so within five (5) Business Days
of receipt thereof, the Company may use the Net Cash Proceeds for Acquisitions
permitted by this Agreement made

                                      -28-
<PAGE>

within 270 days from receipt of the proceeds. If the Company does not so notify
the Agent of its intent to use the proceeds in the manner specified above, it
shall prepay the Loans within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the Net Cash
Proceeds (or such other time period as the Agent may agree to). Further if the
Company does so notify the Agent, but fails to use the Net Cash Proceeds for
Acquisitions within said 270-day period; then it shall prepay the Loans on the
date that is 270 days after the date of receipt of the proceeds.

                  (c) Issuance of Debt. At any time that the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries issues Indebtedness of $7,500,000 or more (except pursuant to
paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (d) or (f) of Subsection 8.1.1 (Indebtedness - In
General)), the Company shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of the
Net Cash Proceeds of the issuance, provided that so long as no Event of Default
or Potential Event of Default is then existing, and the Company notifies the
Agent of its intent to do so within five (5) Business Days of receipt thereof
(or such other time period as the Agent may agree to), the Company may use the
Net Cash Proceeds for Acquisitions permitted by this Agreement made within 270
days from receipt of the proceeds. If the Company does not so notify the Agent
of its intent to use the proceeds in the manner specified above, it shall prepay
the Loans within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds.
Further if the Company does so notify the Agent, but fails to use the Net Cash
Proceeds for Acquisitions within said 270-day period; then it shall prepay the
Loans on the date that is 270 days after the date of receipt of the proceeds.

                  (d) Excess Cash Flow. Each year, (beginning in 2006 with
respect to the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005), no later than ten (10)
Business Days after the date that the annual financial statements are required
to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.1.2 (Delivery of Annual Financial
Statements; Accountants' Certification) below (the "target year"), the Company
shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to the excess of (i) 50% of Excess
Cash Flow for the target year over (ii) $5,000,000.

                  (e) Insurance Proceeds. In the event that the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries receives property or casualty insurance proceeds and/or a
condemnation or similar payment, if (i) there shall then exist an Event of
Default (without limiting any remedies available to the Agent) or (ii) such
payment is in excess of $2,000,000, the Company shall promptly, and in any event
no later than thirty (30) days from the date of receipt thereof, prepay the
Loans in an amount equal to the amount of such insurance proceeds or other
payments, provided that in the case of Subsection 2.3.6(e)(ii) so long as no
Event of Default or Potential Event of Default is then existing, and the Company
notifies the Agent of its intent to do so within five (5) Business Days of
receipt thereof (or such other time period as the Agent may agree to), the
Company may use the property or casualty insurance proceeds and/or a
condemnation or similar payment to rebuild or replace the asset subject to such
loss or condemnation or for Acquisitions permitted by this Agreement made within
270 days from receipt of the proceeds. If the Company does not so notify the
Agent of its intent to use the proceeds in the manner specified above, it shall
prepay the Loans within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the Net Cash
Proceeds. Further if the Company does so notify the Agent, but fails to use the
Net Cash Proceeds to replace the applicable asset or for Acquisitions within
said 270-day period; then it shall prepay the Loans on the date that is 270 days
after the date of receipt of the proceeds.

                  (f) Suspension of Prepayment Requirement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, (i) the mandatory prepayment requirements set forth in clauses (b)
and (c) will be suspended during any period when the Total Leverage Ratio is
less than or equal to 4.5:1 for the most recent quarter ended when prepayment is
due, and (ii) the mandatory prepayment requirements set forth in clause (d) will
be suspended during any period when the Total Leverage Ratio is less than or
equal to 5.0:1 for the most recent quarter ended when prepayment is due, in each
case, based on the most recently delivered financial statements.

                  (g) Order of Prepayments. Subject to the provisions of
Subsection 2.3.7(b) (Relationship of Voluntary and Other Mandatory Prepayments
to Scheduled Payments; Right to Opt Out), any prepayments required by this
Subsection 2.3.6 shall be applied first against any Term B Loans and then
against Term A Loans, and in each case, first to such Loans as are bearing
interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin and then to Loans bearing
interest at the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin (and among those, first to
those with Interest Periods ending on the earliest date). If any prepayment
would require the Company to prepay a Loan bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate
plus the Applicable Margin prior to the end of the applicable Interest Period
and thereby incur breakage costs, if no Event of Default or Potential Event of
Default shall have then occurred and be continuing, the Company may in lieu
thereof deposit such prepayment amounts with the Agent until the end of the
applicable Interest Period, at which time the Loans shall be paid in accordance
with the terms of this Subsection 2.3.6. If the amount of the prepayment
required by this Subsection 2.3.6 exceeds the amount of outstanding Term Loans,
then, the Revolving Credit Commitment shall be reduced by an amount equal to the
amount of such excess.

         2.3.7 RELATIONSHIP OF VOLUNTARY AND OTHER MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS TO
SCHEDULED PAYMENTS; RIGHT TO OPT OUT. (a) Any voluntary prepayments of Term A
Loans or Term B Loans pursuant to Subsection 2.3.5 (Voluntary Prepayments) above
shall be applied against the scheduled payments set forth in Subsection 2.3.3
(Schedule Repayment of Term A Loan) and Subsection 2.3.4 (Scheduled Repayment of
Term B Loan), as applicable, on a pro rata basis. Any mandatory prepayments of
Term A Loans or Term B Loans pursuant to Subsection 2.3.6 above (Mandatory
Prepayments in Connection with Certain Events) shall be applied against the
scheduled payments set forth in Subsection 2.3.3 (Scheduled Repayment of Term A
Loan) and Subsection 2.3.4 (Scheduled Repayment of Term B Loan), as applicable,
on a pro rata basis, reducing proportionately each of the scheduled payments
specified in said Subsection 2.3.3 or 2.3.4, as applicable, on or after the
effective date of such mandatory prepayment unless Lenders of the Term B Loans
elect to opt-out of such prepayment pursuant to this Subsection 2.3.7(b). Any
prepayment shall not affect the Company's obligation to continue making payments
under any Interest Rate Protection Agreement, which shall remain in full force
and effect notwithstanding such prepayment, subject to the terms of such
Interest Rate Protection Agreement.

                  (b) Except with respect to voluntary prepayments of all of the
Term B Loans (as to which no Lenders shall be entitled to opt out), each Lender
of Term B Loans may opt out of any voluntary or mandatory prepayment of Term B
Loans in accordance with the terms of the following sentence. The Agent shall
make prepayments of Term B Loans to each Lender

                                      -30-
<PAGE>

of Term B Loans to the extent required by Subsection 2.3.7(a) unless not later
than 11:30 a.m. (Charlotte, NC time) five (5) Business Days prior to the making
of such prepayment, the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender of the
Term B Loans electing not to receive such prepayment. Any amount which would be
payable to a Term B Lender but for such Lender's decision to opt out of the
payment in accordance with this paragraph (b) (the "Opt Out Amount") shall be
applied to Term A Loans in the manner set forth in paragraph (g) of Subsection
2.3.6 (Mandatory Prepayments in Connection with Certain Events) above. To the
extent that there are no outstanding Term A Loans to which the Opt Out Amounts
may be applied, such excess Opt Out Amounts shall be applied against the Term B
Loans of any Term B Lenders that have not elected to opt out pursuant to this
paragraph (b) (in the manner set forth in paragraph (g) of Subsection 2.3.6
(Mandatory Prepayments in Connection with Certain Events) above).

         2.3.8 COMMITMENT FOR TERM C LOANS. (a) In the event that the Company
wishes to access additional Term Loans hereunder ("Term C Loans") at any time
when no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, it may

that an offer be made pursuant to paragraph (b) below to issue Term C Loans in
an amount not to exceed Two Hundred Million Dollars ($200,000,000).

                  (b) The Company may, at its election, subject and pursuant to
the terms of this Subsection 2.3.8, (i) offer to all of the Lenders the
opportunity to provide all or a portion of the Term C Loans pursuant to

shall not be unreasonably withheld), offer one or more financial institutions
meeting the requirements of "Eligible Assignee," the opportunity to provide all
or a portion of Term C Loans pursuant to paragraph (c) below, provided, that the
aggregate amount of all Term C Loans for which Lenders and other Eligible
Assignees may commit (the "Term C Loan Commitment") shall not exceed Two Hundred
Million Dollars ($200,000,000) and provided, further the minimum amount of each
such increase shall be an aggregate amount of not less than Twenty Five Million
Dollars ($25,000,000). The Term C Request Notice shall specify which Eligible
Assignees the Company desires to provide such opportunity to provide Term C
Loans (the "Offer").

                  (c) Each Offer shall specify (i) the proposed total amount of
the Term C Loan Commitment (or range (including the maximum and minimum) of the
amount of Term C Loan Commitment that the Company desires, as applicable), (ii)
the proposed date on which (or the proposed period during which) the proposed
Term C Loans shall be made (the actual date on which such Loans are made, being
herein referred to as the "Term C Advance Date"), (iii) the date by which an
Offer must be accepted and the addressee where an acceptance is to be sent, (iv)
the maturity date of the Term C Loans (which may not be earlier than the Term B
Maturity Date), (v) the amortization, if any, on the Term C Loans (which may not
have a weighted average life to maturity earlier than the Term B Loans), (vii)
the interest rate and (viii) any other terms that the Company, with the consent
of the Agent, shall specify respecting conditions, mechanics, fees (if any) and
allocation. The Company or, if requested by the Company, the Agent, will provide

                  (d) Any Eligible Assignee which receives an Offer and which
elects to become a party to this Agreement (herein called a "New Term C Lender")
and any Lender which elects to accept an Offer pursuant to this Subsection 2.3.8
(herein called an "Accepting Term C Lender") shall so state by accepting the
Offer in accordance with the terms thereof.

                  (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event
shall any transaction effected pursuant to this Subsection 2.3.8 (i) cause the
sum of (without duplication) (x) the Revolving Credit Commitment, (y) the
outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans and (z) the Term C Loan
Commitments to exceed Eight Hundred Million Dollars ($800,000,000) or (ii)
result in the Term C Loan Commitment of any New Term C Lender to be in an amount
less than $1,000,000. Subject to the limitations in the preceding sentence, the
Agent shall allocate the total Term C Loan Commitment among the Accepting Term C
Lenders and New Term C Lenders in the relative amounts specified in the Offers
or, if no allocation is specified (or if the specified allocation would be in
conflict with the terms of the preceding sentence), then in such relative
amounts as the Agent and the Company shall determine, provided, however, no
Accepting Term C Lender nor New Term C Lender shall be required to accept any
Term C Loan Commitment that it has not otherwise agreed to accept.

                  (f) Each New Term C Lender shall execute a New Term C Lender
supplement with the Company and the Agent, in form and substance satisfactory to
the Agent and shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire,
whereupon such New Term C Lender shall become a Lender for all purposes and to
the same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and
entitled to the benefits of this Agreement.

                  (g) Each Accepting Term C Lender shall execute an Accepting
Term C Lender supplement with the Company and the Agent, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Agent, whereupon such Accepting Term C Lender shall be bound
by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement with respect to its Term C
Loan Commitment and Term C Loans.

                  (h) On the Term C Advance Date, each Accepting Term C Lender
and each New Term C Lender (collectively, the "Term C Lenders") shall make a
Term C Loan to the Company in an amount equal to its Term C Loan Commitment
subject to (i) satisfaction of the conditions specified in Subsection 5.2.2
(Request for Advance/Letter of Credit) of this Agreement, (ii) receipt by the
Agent of certified copies of resolutions of the Company authorizing the Term C
Loan Commitment and Term C Loans, (iii) receipt by the Agent of a legal opinion
of counsel to the Company covering such matters as the Agent may reasonably
determine (including, without limitation, the status of the Term C Loans as
"Senior Debt" under any of the Company's subordinated indentures) and (iv) such
other conditions, if any, as are specified in the Offer.

                  (i) The terms of the Term C Loans (as to maturity,
amortization, etc.) set forth in the Offer shall be incorporated by reference
into this Agreement. The Agent and the Company are authorized to enter into such
supplements and amendments to this Agreement and other Loan Documents for the
purpose of clarifying or adding terms relative to the Term C

                                      -32-
<PAGE>

Loans, Term C Commitment and Term C Lenders as are not materially inconsistent
with the terms of this Agreement or applicable Loan Document, including, without
limitation, provisions providing for the creation of promissory notes evidencing
the Term C Loans should any Term C Loan Lender desire one. If any material terms
respecting Term C Loans or Term C Lenders are not expressly referenced in the
Offer or a supplemental or amendatory agreement, the relevant terms applicable
to Term B Loans or Term B Lenders herein or in the other Loan Documents shall
apply to the Term C Loans or Term C Lenders, as applicable. The Company shall,
or the Agent on behalf of the Company may, provide notice to the Lenders of the
material terms incorporated herein by reference or by supplemental or amendatory
agreement.

                  (j) For the sake of clarity, it is expressly understood that
the Term C Loans are Loans, Term Loans and Senior Secured Obligations for all
purposes under the Loan Documents and are entitled to the benefits of the
collateral security and guarantees provided for in the Loan Documents and that
the Term C Lenders are Lenders for all purposes of the Loan Documents and
entitled to the indemnifications and other rights of Lenders thereunder.

    2.4 LENDERS' OBLIGATIONS SEVERAL.

         Each Lender is severally bound by this Agreement, but there shall be no
joint obligation of the Lenders under this Agreement. The failure of any Lender
to make any share of the Loans or obligations respecting Letters of Credit to be
made by it on the date specified for the Loans or such obligations shall not
relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make its share of the Loans or
other obligations on such date, but neither any Lender nor the Agent shall be
responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a share of the Loans or
other obligations to be made by such other Lender.

    2.5 NOTES; REGISTRATION.

                  (a) Notes. Upon the request of any RC Lender, the aggregate
principal amount of each RC Lender's share of the Revolving Credit Commitment

of the Term A Loan Commitment and Term A Loans shall be evidenced by a note to

below and, if such Loans are otherwise evidenced by a Note, to issue such
Lender's Note, or to exchange such Note for a

                                      -33-
<PAGE>

new Note, registered as provided in paragraph (d) below (a "Registered Note"). A

A Registered Note shall be deemed to be and shall be a Note for all purposes of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

                  (c) Delivery of Tax Forms. Each Lender that is not formed
under the laws of the United States or political subdivision thereof that
requests or holds a Registered Note pursuant to the preceding paragraph (b) or
registers its Loans pursuant to the preceding paragraph (b) (a "Registered
Lender") (or, if such Registered Lender is not the beneficial owner thereof,
such beneficial owner) shall deliver to the Company (with a copy to the Agent)
prior to or at the time such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Registered Lender, the
applicable form described in Section 3.4 (Tax Forms) (or such successor and
related forms as may from time to time be adopted by the relevant taxing
authorities of the United States) together with an annual certificate stating
that such Registered Lender or beneficial owner, as the case may be, is not a
"bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and is not
otherwise described in Section 881(c)(3) of the Code. Each Registered Lender or
beneficial owner, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the Company (with a
copy to the Agent) if at any time such Registered Lender or beneficial owner, as
the case may be, determines that it is no longer in a position to provide such
previously delivered certificate to the Company (or any other form of
certification adopted by the relevant taxing authorities of the United States
for such purposes).

                  (d) Registration of Loans. The Agent, acting, for this
purpose, as agent of the Company, shall, upon request of any Registered Lender,
enter in the Register the name, address and taxpayer identification number (if
provided) of the Registered Lender or beneficial owner as the case may be. In

above may be assigned or otherwise transferred in whole or in part only by
registration of such assignment or transfer of such Registered Note and/or the
Loans so registered on the Register (and each such Registered Note shall
expressly so provide). Any assignment or transfer of all or part of such Loans

compliance with the provisions of Section 11.5 (Successors and Assigns) and, in
the case of Registered Notes, surrender for registration of assignment or
transfer of the Registered Note evidencing such Loans, duly endorsed by (or
accompanied by a written instrument of assignment or transfer fully executed by)
the Registered Lender thereof, and thereupon one or more new Registered Notes in

The Agent in turn shall give prompt written or telephonic (promptly confirmed in
writing) notice to each Lender of its pro rata share of the borrowing, the

arising upon the occurrence of such Event of Default or Potential Event of
Default.

   2.7 FEES TO LENDERS.

         2.7.1 COMMITMENT FEES. The Company shall pay to the Agent for the

Certificate) below and the fifth (5th) Business Day following the borrowing or
prepayment, as applicable, made in connection with an Acquisition or disposition
referred to in paragraphs (b) and (c) of said Subsection 2.8.3. In the event
that any Officers' Certificate referred to in clause (a) or (b) of Subsection
2.8.3 is not delivered in a timely fashion, the percentage amount shall be the
highest rate set forth above effective on the fifth (5th) Business Day after
written notice to such effect is given by the Agent to the Company until the
fifth (5th) Business Day immediately following delivery of such Officers'
Certificate. The Commitment Fee shall begin to accrue from the Effective Date

disposition of the assets and transactions contemplated in connection therewith.

      Subject to the next sentence, the determination of the Applicable
Margin shall be effective with respect to the Loans as of the fifth (5th)
Business Day immediately following delivery of any Officers' Certificate
delivered pursuant to paragraph (a) above and the fifth (5th) Business Day
following the borrowing or prepayment, as applicable, made in connection with an
Acquisition or disposition referred to in paragraphs (b) and (c) above. In the
event that any Officers' Certificate required by paragraph (a) or (b) above is
not delivered in a timely fashion, the Applicable Margin shall be the Applicable
Margin otherwise applicable if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio is equal to or
greater than 6.00, effective on the fifth (5th) Business Day after written
notice to such effect is given by the Agent and continuing until any such
Officers' Certificate is delivered to Agent, whereupon, in the latter event any
required change to the Applicable Margin shall be effective with respect to the
Loans commencing as of the fifth (5th) Business Day immediately following
delivery of such Officers' Certificate.

         2.8.4 LIBOR ELECTION. (a) Unless otherwise elected by the Company, the
Loans shall bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. The
Company may, upon three (3) Eurodollar Business Days' prior written notice to
the Agent in the form of Exhibit C to

                                      -38-
<PAGE>

this Agreement, and subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth in
this Agreement, elect to borrow money that will bear interest based on Adjusted
LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin or to convert a portion of the Loans to bear
interest based on Adjusted LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin. Any such election
may be made with respect to a principal amount designated in such notice and
equal to at least Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) and integral multiples of
One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in excess of such minimum, for the period next
ensuing, which period ("Interest Period") shall equal one, two, three or six
Months or, if available by all Lenders, one year, as designated by the Company
in its notice.

                  (b) The Company may not convert any outstanding Loans to a
borrowing bearing interest based on Adjusted LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin or
otherwise elect an interest rate based on Adjusted LIBOR plus the Applicable
Margin if at the time of such conversion or election there shall exist an Event
of Default or Potential Event of Default under Subsections 9.1.1 (Failure to Pay
Principal), 9.1.2 (Failure to Pay Interest, Fees, Reimbursement Obligations,
Etc.), 9.1.3 (Cross Default to Indebtedness) or 9.1.6 (Certain Covenant
Defaults), but, in the case of Subsection 9.1.6, only if the underlying default
relates to breach of the covenants set forth in Article 7 (Financial Covenants).

                  (c) If an interest rate based on Adjusted LIBOR plus the
Applicable Margin is elected, such interest rate shall remain in effect for the
Interest Period selected and such interest rate shall not otherwise be converted
to another interest rate prior to the expiration of the Interest Period except
as otherwise required by this Section. If an Interest Period with respect to a
rate of interest based on Adjusted LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin would
otherwise commence on a day which is not a Eurodollar Business Day, such
Interest Period shall commence on the next Eurodollar Business Day.

                  (d) The principal accruing interest based on Adjusted LIBOR
plus the Applicable Margin shall, commencing on the last day of the Interest
Period, bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin unless prior
thereto the Agent has received a notice pursuant to this Section (and within the
time periods required) that an elective rate based on Adjusted LIBOR plus the
Applicable Margin shall be effective commencing on such date with respect to any
or all of such principal.

                  (e) The Company may not elect an interest rate based on
Adjusted LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin if such election would require the
Agent to administer concurrently Loans (including Revolving Loans, Term A Loans
and Term B Loans collectively) for more than a combination of elective rates of
interest based on Adjusted LIBOR or Interest Periods that exceed an aggregate of
ten (10).

                  (f) If an Interest Period would otherwise end on a day which
is not a Eurodollar Business Day, such Interest Period shall be extended to the
next Eurodollar Business Day, unless such next Eurodollar Business Day shall
fall in the next calendar month in which event such Interest Period shall end on
the immediately preceding Eurodollar Business Day.

                                      -39-
<PAGE>

                  (g) The Company may not elect an interest rate based on
Adjusted LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin with respect to any portion of the
Loans if, as a result of a reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitment, a
scheduled payment or otherwise, the Company knows that it would be required to
repay a portion of the Loans bearing interest based on Adjusted LIBOR plus the
Applicable Margin on a day other than the last day of any applicable Interest
Period or Periods.

                  (h) No Interest Period may be elected that would end later
than the Revolver Maturity Date (for Revolver Loans) or the Term A Maturity Date
(for Term A Loans) or the Term B Maturity Date (for Term B Loans).

         2.8.5 DEFINITION OF ADJUSTED LIBOR. As used in this Agreement, the term
"Adjusted LIBOR" shall mean the rate per annum (rounded upwards if necessary to
the nearest one-hundredth of one percent) determined by the Agent to be equal to
the quotient of (a) LIBOR, divided by (b) a number equal to 1.00 minus the
Reserve Percentage.

                  As used herein, "LIBOR" means the rate of interest per annum
determined on the basis of the rate for deposits in Dollars in minimum amounts
of at least $5,000,000 for a period equal to the applicable Interest Period
which appears on the Telerate Page 3750 at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London
time) two (2) Business Days prior to the first day of the applicable Interest
Period (rounded upward, if necessary, to the nearest one one-hundredth of one
percent (1/100%)). If, for any reason, such rate does not appear on Telerate
Page 3750, then "Adjusted LIBOR" shall be determined by the Agent to be the
arithmetic average (rounded upward, if necessary, to the nearest one
one-hundredth of one percent (1/100%)) of the rate per annum at which deposits
in Dollars would be offered by first class banks in the London interbank market
to the Agent at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) two (2) Eurodollar
Business Days prior to the first day of the applicable Interest Period for a
period equal to such Interest Period and in an amount substantially equal to the
amount of the applicable Loan.

                  As used in this Agreement, the term "Reserve Percentage"
means, for any day, the percentage (expressed as a decimal and rounded upwards,
if necessary, to the next higher 1/100th of 1%) which is in effect for such day
as prescribed by the Federal Reserve Board (or any successor) for determining
the maximum reserve requirement (including without limitation any basic,
supplemental or emergency reserves) in respect of eurocurrency liabilities or
any similar category of liabilities for a member bank of the Federal Reserve
System in New York City.

         2.8.6 ADDITIONAL COSTS, UNAVAILABILITY, ETC.

                  (a) If any Change in Law shall: (i) impose, modify or deem
applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or
similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or
credit extended by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the
Adjusted LIBOR Rate) or the Issuing Bank; (ii) subject any Lender or the Issuing
Bank to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any
Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Eurodollar Loan
made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or the
Issuing Bank in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
covered by Section 3.5 (Taxes) and changes in the rate of any Excluded Tax
payable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank); or (iii) impose on any Lender or
the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or
expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any
Letter of Credit or participation therein; and the result of any of the
foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining
any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or
to increase the cost to such

                                      -40-
<PAGE>

Lender or the Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any
Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue
any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable
by such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or
any other amount), then upon request of such Lender the Company will pay to such
Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be,
for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

                  (b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any
Change in Law affecting such Lender or the Issuing Bank or any lending office of
such Lender or such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's holding company, if any,
regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate
of return on such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's capital or on the capital of
such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's holding company, if any, as a consequence of
this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or
participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of
Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or
the Issuing Bank or such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's holding company could
have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such
Lender's or the Issuing Bank's policies and the policies of such Lender's or the
Issuing Bank's holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time
to time the Company will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may
be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the
Issuing Bank or such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's holding company for any such
reduction suffered.

                  (c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting
forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing
Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a)
or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Company shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. The Company shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the
case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days
after receipt thereof.

                  (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing
Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a
waiver of such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's right to demand such compensation,
provided that the Company shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the
Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or
reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Lender or
the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Company of the Change in Law
giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender's or the
Issuing Bank's intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the
Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive,
then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the
period of retroactive effect thereof).

                  (e) The Company shall pay to the Agent for the account of the
affected Lender or Lenders within thirty (30) days of demand such additional
sums as will compensate such Lender or Lenders for the effect of any change in
reserve requirements or any taxes, duties

                                      -41-
<PAGE>

or other charges (or changes in the amount thereof) based upon an allocation by
such affected Lender or Lenders of the additional sums payable as a result of
the Loans or Letters of Credit. No failure on the part of the Agent or any
Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs in any period shall
constitute a waiver of any Lender's right to demand such compensation at any
time, provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any such
compensation for any such increased costs incurred more than six months prior to
the making of the affected Lender's initial such request. Each affected Lender
shall certify the amount of such cost to the Company and provide the Company
with a written statement setting forth the cost claimed and the calculations
used in determining such cost, which certification and statement shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

                  (f) In the event that the Company shall have elected an
interest option and period based on Adjusted LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin
and the Requisite Lenders shall have reasonably determined that quotations of
interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of
Adjusted LIBOR are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the
relevant Interest Period for purposes of determining an interest rate based on
Adjusted LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin or that by reason of circumstances
affecting the London Interbank Eurocurrency Market adequate and reasonable means
do not exist for ascertaining Adjusted LIBOR applicable to such deposits for the
specified Interest Period, the Agent shall promptly give notice of such
determination to the Company, and no part of the Loans shall thereafter be
available at Adjusted LIBOR for the specified Interest Period until the
Requisite Lenders determine that the circumstances described above cease to
exist. At such time, Agent shall notify the Company that Adjusted LIBOR is again
available; however, neither Agent nor any of the Lenders shall have any
liability for failure to give such notice. A determination by the Requisite
Lenders shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company.

                  (g) In the event that by reason of any change in any law,
regulation or official directive, or in the interpretation thereof by any
governmental body charged with the administration thereof, any Lender becomes
subject to restrictions on the amount of any category of deposits or other
liabilities of such Lender which includes deposits by reference to which
Adjusted LIBOR is determined as set forth in this Agreement or a category of
extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender which includes any portion
of the Loans as to which a rate based on Adjusted LIBOR has been elected, then,
if such Lender so elects by notice to the Company setting out the basis of such
election (with a copy to the Agent), the obligation of such Lender to permit
additional borrowings under the Loans at a rate based on Adjusted LIBOR shall be
suspended until such change ceases to be in effect and, during such suspension,
such Lender's portion of all borrowings under the Loans requested to be made at
a rate based on Adjusted LIBOR shall instead bear interest at a rate determined
by reference to the Base Rate and Applicable Margin.

                  (h) Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary,
if, prior to or during any Interest Period with respect to which a rate based on
Adjusted LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin is in effect, any change in any law,
regulation or official directive, or in the interpretation thereof, by any
governmental body charged with the administration thereof, shall make it
unlawful for any Lender to fund or maintain its funding in Eurodollars of any
portion of the principal amount of the Loans or otherwise to give effect to such
Lender's obligations as

                                      -42-
<PAGE>

contemplated by this Agreement, (i) the affected Lender shall by written notice
to the Company and the Agent declare the Company's right to elect an interest
rate based on Adjusted LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin with respect to such
Lender's share of the Loans to be suspended, (ii) any portion of the Loans made
by the affected Lender bearing interest at a rate based on Adjusted LIBOR plus
the Applicable Margin shall forthwith cease to bear interest at such rate, and
interest on such portion of the Loans shall from and after such date be
calculated at a rate based upon the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin and
(iii) the Company shall indemnify the affected Lender against any loss or
expense suffered by it in liquidating prior to maturity Eurodollar deposits
which correspond to its pro rata share of the principal amount of the Loans to
which a rate based on Adjusted LIBOR was applicable. The affected Lender shall
certify the amount of such loss or expense to the Company and such certification
shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

                  (i) If either (i) the introduction of, or any change in, or in
the interpretation of, any applicable law or (ii) compliance with any guideline
or request from any central bank or comparable agency or other governmental
authority (whether or not having the force of law), has or would have the effect
of reducing the rate of return on the capital of, or has affected or would
affect the amount of capital required to be maintained by, any Lender or any
corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to
the Commitments and other commitments of this type, below the rate which the
Lender or such other corporation could have achieved but for such introduction,
change or compliance, then within five (5) Business Days after written demand by
any such Lender, the Company shall pay to such Lender from time to time as
specified by such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender
or other corporation for such reduction. A certificate as to such amounts
submitted to the Company and the Agent by such Lender, shall, in the absence of
manifest error, be presumed to be correct and binding for all purposes.

         2.8.7 SOURCE OF FUNDS. Although each Lender may elect to purchase in
the London Inter-Bank Eurocurrency Market one or more Eurodollar deposits in
order to fund or maintain its funding of its pro rata share of the principal
amount of the Loans with respect to which the Company has elected a rate based
upon Adjusted LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin during the Interest Period in
question, it is acknowledged that the provisions of this Agreement relating to
such funding are included only for the purpose of determining the rate of
interest to be paid and any other amounts owing under this Agreement in
connection with such election, and each Lender shall be entitled to fund and
maintain its funding of all or any part of that portion of the principal amount
of the Loans in any manner it sees fit. Nonetheless, all such determinations
shall be made as if each Lender had actually funded and maintained that portion
of the principal amount of the Loans to which a rate based upon Adjusted LIBOR
plus the Applicable Margin is applicable during such Interest Period through the
purchase of Eurodollar deposits in an amount equal to its pro rata share of the
principal amount of the Loans to which a rate based upon Adjusted LIBOR plus the
Applicable Margin is applicable and having a maturity corresponding to such
Interest Period.

         2.8.8 DEFAULT RATE. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, (a) after maturity, whether scheduled, by acceleration or
otherwise, and whether

                                      -43-
<PAGE>

prior to or after a judgment against the Company, or (b) during the existence of
an Event of Default specified in Subsection 9.1.1 (Failure to Pay Principal),
9.1.2 (Failure to Pay Interest, Fees, Reimbursement Obligations, Etc.) or 9.1.3
(Cross Default to Indebtedness) or (c) during the existence of an Event of
Default specified in Subsection 9.1.6 (Certain Covenant Defaults) as a result of
a breach of the covenants set forth in Article 7 (Financial Covenants), the
Loans shall bear interest at two percent (2%) per annum plus the interest
rate(s) otherwise in effect from time to time pursuant to this Agreement (the
"Default Rate").

   2.9 PURPOSE.

         Upon satisfaction of the conditions and other requirements set forth in
this Agreement, the proceeds of the Loans shall be used by the Company: (i) to
refinance existing Indebtedness on the Effective Date; (ii) to make Restricted
Payments permitted under this Agreement; (iii) to finance Acquisitions,
investments and Capital Expenditures permitted under this Agreement; and (iv)
for working capital needs and general corporate purposes.

   2.10 ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS CONCERNING PREPAYMENTS AND FAILURE TO BORROW.

         2.10.1 INTEREST ON AMOUNTS PREPAID. At any time that the Company makes
a prepayment of principal, it shall pay accrued interest on the amount so
prepaid.

         2.10.2 BREAKAGE. In the event that the Company makes a prepayment
(whether voluntary or mandatory) of any Loans bearing interest at a rate based
on Adjusted LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin for a specified Interest Period on
a day other than the last day of such Interest Period or fails to borrow on the
date specified in the applicable borrowing notice (or convert to a Loan based on
Adjusted LIBOR on the date specified in the LIBOR election) any amount which the
Company shall have requested to borrow at a rate based on Adjusted LIBOR plus
Applicable Margin, the Company will pay to the Agent, upon demand, for the
account of the affected Lenders any cost or expense incurred as a result
thereof. Each affected Lender shall certify the amount of such cost or expense
to the Company and provide the Company with a written statement setting forth
the cost or expense claimed and the calculations used in determining such loss
and expense, which certification and statement shall be conclusive in the
absence of manifest error.

         2.10.3 CERTAIN PRESUMPTIONS REGARDING APPLICATION OF PREPAYMENTS.
Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or other Loan Documents, prepayments
shall be applied first to fees, then to interest (to the extent then payable)
and then to principal with respect to the portions of the Loans accruing
interest at a rate based upon the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, and then
to those portions of the Loans accruing interest at a rate based upon Adjusted
LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin and among such portions of the Loans accruing
interest at rates based upon Adjusted LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin to such
portions with the earliest expiring Interest Periods.

   2.12 MITIGATION OBLIGATIONS; REPLACEMENT OF LENDERS.

         2.12.1 DESIGNATION OF A DIFFERENT LENDING OFFICE. If any Lender
requests compensation under Subsection 2.8.6 (Additional Costs, Unavailability,
Etc.), or requires the Company to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.5
(Taxes), then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different
lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its
rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or
affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment
(i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Subsection 2.8.6
(Additional Costs, Unavailability, Etc.) or Section 3.5 (Taxes), as the case may
be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed
cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The
Company hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any
Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

         2.12.2 REPLACEMENT OF LENDERS. If any Lender requests compensation
under Subsection 2.8.6 (Additional Costs, Unavailability, Etc.), or if the
Company is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.5
(Taxes), or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder,
then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender
and the Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in
accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents
required by, Section 11.5 (Successors and Assigns), all of its interests, rights
and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an
assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another
Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that

                  (a) the Company shall have paid to the Agent the assignment
fee specified in Section 11.5 (Successors and Assigns),

                  (b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal
to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in Letters of
Credit, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to
it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under
Subsection 2.10.2 (Breakage) from the assignee (to the extent of such
outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Company (in the case
of all other amounts),

                  (c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim
for compensation under Subsection 2.8.6 (Additional Costs, Unavailability, Etc.)
or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.5 (Taxes), such assignment
will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter, and

                                      -45-
<PAGE>

                  (d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if,
prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the
circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation
cease to apply.

                                   ARTICLE 3
                        MECHANICS OF PAYMENTS; TAX FORMS

   3.1 COMPANY PAYMENT.

         All payments on account of principal and interest on the Loans, the
Commitment Fee, and all other amounts otherwise payable to Lenders under this
Agreement (other than payments in respect of Swing Loans which shall be made
directly to the Swing Lender), shall be made to the Agent in U.S. Dollars which
are immediately available (unless otherwise specified) by 2:00 p.m. (Charlotte,
NC time), on the due date for such payment, at the Agent's principal office
(which as of the date of this Agreement is at 301 South College Street, NC0680,
Charlotte, NC 28288-0680, Attn: Agency Services) specifying the amount and date
of payment, re: Susquehanna Media Co. (and if by wire transfer, in accordance
with the instructions on the signature page to this Agreement executed by
Wachovia), or to such other accounts or Persons or at such other place as the
Agent may direct in writing. The Company hereby authorizes the Lenders (after
receipt of notice from the Agent to do so) to (i) apply to the aforesaid
payments, up to the amount of such payments, any portion of the balance of any
account maintained by the Company for the purpose of facilitating said payments,
and/or (ii) cause the aforesaid payments to be made, if not paid by the Company
when due, by drawing under the loan facilities provided under this Agreement, or
making additional loans, (and any such loan shall be subject to interest at the
Default Rate and shall be secured by all of the security interests granted
pursuant to the Loan Documents); provided, however, that notwithstanding the
making by the Lenders of any of the aforesaid payments as set forth in this
sentence, the failure of the Company to make any of the aforesaid payments when
due shall constitute an Event of Default. The failure by the Company to make a
payment by 2:00 p.m. shall not constitute an Event of Default if such payment is
made on the due date; however, any payment made after such time on such due date
shall be deemed made on the next Business Day for the purpose of interest and
reimbursement calculations. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement,
such payments shall be deemed to be made to the Lenders in proportion to their
respective shares of the applicable amount due. The Agent shall promptly (on the
same day if payment has been received by the Agent by 2:00 p.m. (Charlotte, NC
time) on such day, and including the additional per diem interest and
reimbursement amount paid by Company if such payment was made by the Company to
the Agent after noon on such day) remit to each Lender its pro rata share of
such payment in immediately available funds, except that all reimbursement
payments in respect of losses, out-of-pocket expenses, funding losses or like
matters shall be retained by the Agent or remitted to the Lenders according to
their respective appropriate entitlement to such reimbursement. The requirement
that the Company pay any amount to a Lender shall be discharged by the Company
when such amount of funds are received by the Agent to be disbursed to such
Lender.

         The Company's obligations to make payments to the Agent, the Lenders
and the issuing Bank under this Agreement and the Other Documents shall be
absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and all payments
shall be made without setoff or counterclaim.

   3.2 LENDER REQUIRED PAYMENT.

         Unless the Agent shall have been notified by a Lender prior to noon
(unless otherwise specified in this Agreement) on the date on which it is
scheduled to fund to the Agent a portion of the Commitment or any other amount
payable by a Lender under this Agreement (such payment being the "Lender
Required Payment"), which notice will be effective upon receipt, that it does
not intend to make the Lender Required Payment to the Agent, the Agent may
assume

                                      -46-
<PAGE>

that the Lender Required Payment has been made and may, in reliance upon such
assumption (but shall not be required to), make the amount thereof available to
the Company (or other appropriate party) on such date and, if such Lender has
not in fact made the Lender Required Payment to the Agent, the Company, if
applicable, or such Lender shall, on demand, repay to the Agent the amount so
made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the
period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Agent
until the date the Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to the
Federal Funds Rate for such day (as determined by the Agent). Any Lender that
fails to make a Lender Required Payment upon receipt of notice therefor, shall
not be entitled to vote on any matters that it otherwise would be entitled to
vote on under this Agreement until it makes such payment.

         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any lender,
(a "Granting Lender") may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an "SPFV")
the option to fund all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would
otherwise be obligated to fund pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i)
nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPFV to fund any Loan, and
(ii) if an SPFV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to fund
all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to fund
such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The funding of a Loan by an SPFV
hereunder shall utilize the Revolving Credit Commitment of the Granting Lender
to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were funded by such Granting Lender.
Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPFV shall be liable for any indemnity
or payment under this Agreement for which a Lender would otherwise be liable for
so long as, and to the extent, the Granting Lender provides such indemnity or
makes such payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, any SPFV may disclose on a confidential basis any non-public
information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial
paper dealer or provider of any surety or Loans to any rating agency, commercial
paper, dealer or provider of any surety or guarantee to such SPFV. This Section
may not be amended without the prior written consent of each Granting Lender,
all or any part of whose Loan is being funded by an SPFV at the time of such
amendment. No SPFV shall be entitled to any indemnities or additional costs or
other amounts referred to in Subsection 2.8.6 (Additional Costs, Unavailability,
Etc.) or breakage pursuant to Subsection 2.10.2 (Breakage) or similar payments
except to the extent it shares in payments made to the Granting Lender pursuant
to entitlements of the Granting Lender hereunder.

   3.3 COMPANY REQUIRED PAYMENT.

         Unless the Agent shall have been notified by the Company in writing
prior to the date on which the Company is scheduled to make a payment to the
Agent for the account of one or more of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank (such
payment being the "Company Required Payment"), which notice shall be effective
upon receipt, that the Company does not intend to make the Company Required
Payment to the Agent, the Agent may assume that the Company Required Payment has
been made and may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required
to), make such amount available to the Lenders entitled thereto on such date. If
the Company has not in fact made the Company Required Payment to the Agent, the
recipient(s) of such payment shall, on demand, repay to the Agent the amount so
made available together with interest in respect of each day during the period
commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Agent until the
date the Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal
Funds Rate for such day (as determined by the Agent).

   3.4 TAX FORMS.

         At least five (5) Business Days prior to the first date on which
interest or fees are payable under this Agreement for the account of any Lender,
each Lender that is not incorporated or organized under the laws of the United
States of America or a state thereof shall deliver to each of the Company and
the Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service
Form W-9, 4224 or 1001, or other applicable form prescribed by the Internal
Revenue Service of the United States, certifying in either case that such Lender
is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and the Notes without
deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, or are
subject to such tax at a reduced rate

                                      -47-
<PAGE>

under an applicable tax treaty, or Form W-8 or other applicable form or a
certificate of the Lender indicating that no such exemption or reduced rate is
allowable with respect to such payments. Each Lender which so delivers a Form
W-8, W-9, 4224 or 1001 further undertakes to deliver to each of the Company and
the Agent two additional copies of such form (or a successor form) on or before
the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of
any event requiring a change in the most recent form so delivered by it, and
such amendments thereto or extensions or renewals thereof as may be reasonably
requested by the Company or the Agent, either certifying that such Lender is
entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and the Notes without
deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes or are
subject to such tax at a reduced rate under an applicable tax treaty or stating
that no such exemption or reduced rate is allowable. The Agent shall be entitled
to withhold United States federal income taxes at the full withholding rate
unless the Lender establishes an exemption or at the applicable reduced rate as
established pursuant to the above provisions.

   3.5 TAXES.

         3.5.1 PAYMENTS FREE OF TAXES. Any and all payments by or on account of
any obligation of the Company hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall
be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if the Company shall be required
by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes)
from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so
that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section) the Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank,
as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received
had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Company shall make such deductions
and (iii) the Company shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

         3.5.2 PAYMENT OF OTHER TAXES BY THE COMPANY. Without limiting the
provisions of Subsection 3.5.1 above, the Company shall timely pay any Other
Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

         3.5.3 INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY. The Company shall indemnify the
Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Bank, within 10 days after demand therefor,
for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to
amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Agent, such Lender or the
Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable
expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted
by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such
payment or liability delivered to the Company

                                      -48-
<PAGE>

by a Lender or the Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on
its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive
absent manifest error.

         3.5.4 EVIDENCE OF PAYMENTS. As soon as practicable after any payment of
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Company to a Governmental Authority, the
Company shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt
issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the
return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably
satisfactory to the Agent.

         3.5.5 STATUS OF LENDERS. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an
exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction
in which the Company is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such
jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other
Loan Document shall deliver to the Company (with a copy to the Agent), at the
time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the
Company or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation
prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without
withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if
requested by the Company or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation
prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent
as will enable the Company or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender
is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

         Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the
Company is resident for tax purposes in the United States of America, any
Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Agent (in such number of
copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which
such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time
thereafter upon the request of the Company or the Agent, but only if such
Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is
applicable:

                  (a) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the
United States of America is a party,

                  (b) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form

certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a "bank" within
the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a "10 percent shareholder"
of the Company within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a
"controlled foreign corporation" described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code
and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or

                                      -49-
<PAGE>

                  (d) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for
claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax
duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be
prescribed by applicable law to permit the Company to determine the withholding
or deduction required to be made.

         3.5.6 TREATMENT OF CERTAIN REFUNDS. If the Agent, a Lender or the
Issuing Bank determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund
of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Company
or with respect to which the Company has paid additional amounts pursuant to
this Section, it shall pay to the Company an amount equal to such refund (but
only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by
the Company under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving
rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent, such
Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and without interest (other than
any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such
refund), provided that the Company, upon the request of the Agent, such Lender
or the Issuing Bank, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Company (plus
any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental
Authority) to the Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank in the event the Agent,
such Lender or the Issuing Bank is required to repay such refund to such
Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the
Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank to make available its tax returns (or any
other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the
Company or any other Person.

                                   ARTICLE 4
                                LETTERS OF CREDIT

   4.1 LETTERS OF CREDIT.

         4.1.1 COMMITMENT TO ISSUE LETTERS OF CREDIT. Subject to the
requirements set forth below, the Company may use a portion of the Revolving
Credit Commitment, which portion shall not exceed Fifty Million Dollars
($50,000,000) (the "Letter of Credit Sublimit") for the purpose of causing the
Issuing Bank to issue standby Letters of Credit for the account of the Company,
provided that (i) the Company executes and delivers a letter of credit
application and reimbursement agreement in a form acceptable to the Issuing Bank
and complies with any conditions to the issuance of such Letter of Credit
(including the payment of any applicable fees) set forth therein; (ii) the
Issuing Bank approves the form of such Letter of Credit; (iii) such Letter of
Credit bears an expiration date not later than the Revolver Maturity Date; (iv)
the Issuing Bank receives a request for issuance three (3) Business Days prior
to the date of issuance (unless the Issuing Bank, in its sole and absolute
discretion, agrees to shorter notice in any instance) and (v) the conditions set
forth in Section 5.2 (Requirements for Each Loan/Letter of Credit) are satisfied
as of the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The letters of credit
listed on Schedule 4.1 hereto shall be Letters of Credit under this Agreement.

                                      -50-
<PAGE>

         4.1.2 LIMITATION ON AMOUNT. The Issuing Bank shall not be obligated or
permitted under this Section 4.1 to issue any Letter of Credit for the account
of the Company to the extent that the sum of (i) the amount that would be
available to be drawn under the proposed Letter of Credit plus (ii) the sum of
all amounts available to be drawn under outstanding Letters of Credit plus (iii)
any Unreimbursed Drawings would exceed the lesser of (a) the Letter of Credit
Sublimit and (b) the Available Commitment.

         4.1.3 OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE. The Company's obligations under this
Section 4.1 (including any obligations to repay draws under Letters of Credit
issued hereunder) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all
circumstances and irrespective of the occurrence of any Potential Event of
Default or Event of Default or any condition precedent whatsoever or any setoff,
counterclaim or defense to payment which the Company may have or have had
against the Issuing Bank, the Agent, any Lender or any beneficiary of a Letter
of Credit. The Company further agrees that the Issuing Bank, the Agent and the
Lenders shall not be responsible for, and the Company's reimbursement
obligations shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or
genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even if such documents
should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, fraudulent or forged,
or any dispute between or among the Company, the beneficiary of any Letter of
Credit or any financing institution or other party to which any Letter of Credit
may be transferred or any claims or defenses whatsoever of the Company against
the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The Issuing
Bank, the Agent and the Lenders shall not be liable for any error, omission,
interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or
advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit. Any action
taken or omitted by the Issuing Bank, the Agent or any Lender under or in
connection with each Letter of Credit and the related drafts and documents, if
done in good faith and without willful misconduct or gross negligence on the
part of the Issuing Bank, the Agent or the Lenders, shall be binding upon the
Company and shall not result in any liability on the part of the Issuing Bank,
the Agent or any Lender to the Company.

         4.1.4 RELIANCE BY ISSUING BANK. The Issuing Bank shall be entitled to
rely, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any Letter of Credit, draft,
writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram,
telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other
document believed by it to be genuine and correct and believed by it to have
been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and
statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected
by the Issuing Bank and the Agent.

         4.1.5 FEES. The Company shall pay to the Agent for the account of the
RC Lenders a fee equal to the product of (i) the Applicable Margin which would
apply to the face amount of the Letter of Credit if it were part of the
Revolving Loan and was bearing interest at a rate based on Adjusted LIBOR
multiplied by (ii) the face amount of each Letter of Credit (the "Letter of
Credit Fees"). In addition, the Issuing Bank shall receive a fronting fee equal
to 1/8 of 1% per annum of the face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit
("Fronting Fee"). All

                                      -51-
<PAGE>

Letter of Credit Fees and Fronting Fees shall be payable quarterly in arrears on
each Quarterly Payment Date based on the number of days during each quarter that
a Letter of Credit is outstanding during such quarter (calculated on the basis
of a 360-day year). The Company shall also pay to the Issuing Bank all of the
Issuing Bank's standard fees and charges for the opening, amendment,
modification, presentation or cancellation of a Letter of Credit and otherwise
in respect of a Letter of Credit and shall execute all of the Issuing Bank's
standard agreements in connection with the issuance of the Letter of Credit.

         4.1.6 PARTICIPATION BY RC LENDERS. The Issuing Bank shall notify the
Agent promptly upon receipt of notice of an intended draw under a Letter of
Credit, whereupon the Agent shall give written, telecopied or telegraphic notice
to each of the other RC Lenders of its pro rata share of such draw and the
scheduled date thereof. After receipt of such notice, and whether or not an
Event of Default or Potential Event of Default then exists, each RC Lender shall
make such arrangements as are necessary to assure that its share of such draw
shall be immediately available (in U.S. dollars) to the Agent no later than noon
(Charlotte, NC time), on the date specified in the Agent's notice, which shall
be no earlier than the day after the date the Agent's notice is given. Any
amount paid by Agent and RC Lenders pursuant to a draw made under a Letter of
Credit shall constitute a borrowing under the Available Commitment, provided
that if an Event of Default or Potential Event of Default exists at the time of
a draw, the Company shall immediately reimburse the amount of such draw to the
Agent for the benefit of the RC Lenders.

                  To effectuate the purposes of this Subsection 4.1.6, effective
immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit and without further
action on the part of the Issuing Bank, the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have
granted to each RC Lender, and each RC Lender shall be deemed to have
irrevocably purchased and received from the Issuing Bank, without recourse or
warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Letter of Credit to
the extent of each RC Lender's percentage of the Revolving Credit Commitment.
Further, each Lender acknowledges and agrees that it shall be absolutely liable,
to the extent of its percentage of the Revolving Credit Commitment, to fund on
demand or reimburse the Issuing Bank on demand for the amount of each draft paid
by the Issuing Bank under each Letter of Credit to the extent that such amount
is not immediately reimbursed by the Company.

         4.1.7 STANDARD OF CONDUCT. The Issuing Bank shall be entitled to
administer each Letter of Credit in the ordinary course of business and in
accordance with its usual practices, modified from time to time as it deems
appropriate under the circumstances, and shall be entitled to use its discretion
in taking or refraining from taking any action in connection herewith as if it
were the sole party involved. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the
Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or
omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not
create for the Issuing Bank any resulting liability to any other Lender.

         4.1.8 CASH COLLATERAL ACCOUNT. In the event that (a) the excess of (i)
the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment over (ii) the amount of
outstanding Revolving Loans and Swing Loans is less than (b) the face amount of
outstanding Letters of Credit and Unreimbursed Drawings for any reason (whether
because the Revolving Credit Commitment has

                                      -52-
<PAGE>

been reduced or terminated or otherwise), the Company shall forthwith pay to the
Agent an amount equal to the excess of the amount described in clause (b) above
over the amount described in clause (a) above. Such amount shall first be
applied against Unreimbursed Drawings and the remainder shall be maintained by
the Agent in an interest bearing cash collateral account in the name of and for
the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders to secure the repayment of Company's
obligation to reimburse the Lenders for drafts drawn or which may be drawn under
outstanding Letters of Credit until such time as all outstanding Letters of
Credit have expired or been cancelled.

         4.1.9 OBLIGATIONS SECURED. The obligations of the Company to the
Issuing Bank, the Agent and the Lenders in respect of Letters of Credit shall be
guaranteed pursuant to the Loan Documents and shall be secured by the
Collateral.

or disposition had been consummated on the first day of the applicable period.

         7.5.3 For purposes of calculation of the financial covenants in
connection with the consummation of an Acquisition, disposition, purchase of
minority interest or other event requiring demonstration of pro forma compliance
under this Agreement (a "Designated Event"), the calculations shall

                  statements (the "Designated Period"), adjusted to reflect, on

                  covenant standards applicable as at the end of such Designated
                  Period.

         7.5.4 For purposes of calculating the financial covenants for the
period ending December 31, 2003, the amount of Indebtedness shall be the amount

<PAGE>

expenses which may be paid only to the extent provided in the ESOP Sharing
Agreement, the Company and its Subsidiaries may reimburse SPC for actual out of
pocket expenses paid by SPC (and not overhead expense) for the account of the
Company and its Subsidiaries in respect of the items listed on Schedule 8.8
(which expenses are deducted in the computation of Consolidated Net Income) so
long as SPC does not profit from any such reimbursements and such reimbursements
are not in excess of amounts that the Company and its Subsidiaries would have
paid had they paid for such items directly (the reimbursement referred to in
this clause (i) (which excludes ESOP-related expenses) is hereinafter referred
to as "SPC Expense Reimbursement"), (ii) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
may enter into a management agreement to give a Person that is not an Affiliate
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries the right to manage one or more radio
broadcast stations, cable television systems or other Permitted Business owned

systems or businesses so managed do not contribute more than an aggregate of
four percent (4%) of the Company's annual net revenue in respect of any fiscal
year of the Company, and (iii) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may enter
into agreements in the ordinary course of business to pay Persons that are not
Affiliates of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for certain management type
services provided to the Company or its Subsidiaries, such as joint sales
agreements, local marketing agreements, or time brokerage agreements entered
into in connection with permitted divestitures.

         8.8.2 LIMITATIONS ON MANAGEMENT FEES. Management Fees payable by the
Company and its Subsidiaries to SPC may not exceed four percent (4%) of the
Consolidated revenues (net of agency commissions) of the Company and its
Subsidiaries for any fiscal year provided, however, that during any period that
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing Management Fees payable by
the Company and its Subsidiaries may not exceed two and one-half percent
(2-1/2%) of the Consolidated revenues (net of agency commissions) of the Company
and its Subsidiaries for any fiscal year.

   8.9 EXISTENCE.

         Except as otherwise permitted by Subsection 8.7.1 (Consolidations and
Mergers), the Company will at all times preserve and keep in full force and
effect (i) its corporate existence and its rights and franchises and (ii) the
corporate or partnership existence of each of its Subsidiaries and the rights
and franchises of each such Person, including the good standing of such Persons
in all states in which they are formed or required to qualify to do business,
except where the failure to keep in full force and effect any such rights and
franchises could not have a Material Adverse Effect and except that a Subsidiary
of the Company may be dissolved following the transfer of all of its assets to
one or more other Subsidiaries of the Company (the "Transferee Subsidiaries")
subject to the conditions that (y) both before and after the transfer and
subsequent dissolution, no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default shall
exist and (z) all of the equity of the Transferee Subsidiaries shall have been
duly pledged to the Agent pursuant to the Pledge Agreements, all of the material
assets of the Transferee Subsidiaries shall have been pledged as security
pursuant to the Security Agreement and the transferee Subsidiaries shall all be
parties to one or more Subsidiary Suretyships.

8.10 COMPLIANCE WITH LAW.

         The Company and each of its Subsidiaries shall comply with all laws,
ordinances and governmental rules and regulations to which each is subject, and
obtain or maintain all Franchises (including without limitation FCC Licenses or
PUC Franchises), permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations and
approvals necessary for the ownership, acquisition and disposition of their
respective properties and the conduct of their respective businesses and shall
comply with FCC and PUC construction, operating and reporting requirements,
except to the extent that the failure

                                      -78-
<PAGE>

to do any of the foregoing could not have a Material Adverse Effect. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall renew with the
appropriate local municipalities all expired Franchises in respect of the cable
system located in and around Carmel, New York within 12 months after the closing
of the acquisition of such cable system from RCN Corporation.

         The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, pay all
taxes, assessments and other governmental charges imposed upon it or any of its
properties or assets or in respect of any of its franchises, business, income or
profits before any penalty or interest accrues thereon, and all claims
(including, without limitation, claims for labor, services, materials and
supplies) for sums which have become due and payable and which by law have or
might become a Lien upon any of its properties or assets, provided that no such
charge or claim need be paid if being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings promptly initiated and diligently conducted and if such reserve or
other appropriate provision, if any, as shall be required by GAAP shall have
been made therefor and, if the filing of a bond or other indemnity is necessary
to avoid the creation of a Lien against any of the assets of the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries, such bond shall have been filed or indemnity provided.

   8.12 TAX CONSOLIDATION.

         Except as contemplated by the Tax Sharing Agreement, the Company will
not file or consent to or permit the filing of any consolidated income tax
return on behalf of it or any of its Subsidiaries with any Person (other than a
consolidated return of the Company and its Subsidiaries). Except as provided in
the Tax Sharing Agreement, the Company will not enter into any agreement with

return with its own Subsidiaries as an affiliated group.

         8.13.1 The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and ERISA

Multiemployer Plan when such contributions are due and not incur any Accumulated
Funding Deficiency, whether or not waived, and will otherwise comply with the

Affiliates to, comply in all respects with the requirements of COBRA regarding
continued health coverage and of the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act of 1996 with respect to any Plans subject to the requirements
thereof, except to the extent that the failure to so comply could not have a
Material Adverse Effect.

         8.13.4 The Company will not, and will not permit any of its
Subsidiaries or any of its ERISA Affiliates to, take any of the following
actions or permit any of the following events

                                      -79-
<PAGE>

to occur if such action or event together with all other such actions or events
would subject the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of its ERISA
Affiliates to any tax, penalty, or other liabilities which could have a Material
Adverse Effect:

                  (a) engage in any transaction in connection with which the
Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate could be subject to
either a civil penalty assessed pursuant to Section 502(i) of ERISA or a tax
imposed by Section 4975 of the Code;

                  (b) terminate any Employee Pension Plan in a manner, or take
any other action, which could result in any liability of the Company, any of its
Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate to the PBGC;

                  (c) fail to make full payment when due of all amounts which,
under the provisions of any Plan, the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any
ERISA Affiliate is required to pay as contributions thereto, or permit to exist
any Accumulated Funding Deficiency, whether or not waived, with respect to any
Employee Pension Plan;

                  (d) permit the current value of all vested accrued benefits
under any Plan which is subject to Title IV of ERISA to exceed the current value
of the assets of such Plans allocable to such vested accrued benefits, except as
may be permitted under actuarial funding standards adopted in accordance with
Section 412 of the Code; or

                  (e) withdraw from any Multiemployer Plan, if such withdrawal
would result in the imposition of Withdrawal Liability.

         8.13.5 The Company shall comply with the ERISA reporting requirements
set forth in Subsection 6.3.4 (Reportable Events, Etc.) hereof.

   As used in this Section, the term "accrued benefit" has the meaning specified

in Section 4001(a)(18)(B) of ERISA.

   8.14 MATTERS RELATING TO THE ESOP.

cause to be maintained with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance

against loss or damage of the kinds customarily insured against by Persons of

situated, of such types and in such amounts as are customarily carried under
similar circumstances by other such Persons and otherwise as is prudent for

captive insurance subsidiary of SPC.

protect, and, when necessary, renew, all Franchises and all service marks,
trademarks and tradenames held by any of them and all agreements to which any of

purchase or prepay) all or any portion of the obligations under the Senior
Subordinate Notes or Senior Subordinated Indentures or any other subordinated
debt agreement or instrument.

         9.2 ACCELERATION; REMEDIES.

                  9.2.1 REMEDIES IN GENERAL. Upon the occurrence of any event
described in Section 9.1.10 (Discontinuance of Business; Insolvency), the entire
unpaid principal balance of the Notes, and interest accrued and premium, if any,
thereon, and any unpaid accrued Commitment Fees and all other amounts accrued
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, shall be immediately due and
payable by the Company and the Commitment shall terminate without presentation,
demand, protest, notice of protest or other notice of dishonor of any kind, all
of which are hereby expressly waived by the Company. Upon the occurrence of any
other Event of Default, or at any time thereafter, if any Event of Default shall
then be continuing, the Agent may (and shall if directed by the necessary
Lenders pursuant to Subsection 12.12.1 (Actions by Agent)) by written notice to
the Company, declare the entire unpaid principal balance or any portion of the
principal balance of all or any of the Notes, and interest accrued and premium,
if any, thereon and any unpaid accrued Commitment Fees and all other amounts
accrued hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, to be immediately due and
payable by the Company and the Commitment shall terminate or, if no principal
balance shall be outstanding, the Agent may terminate the Commitment. Such
principal and interest, premium, fees, and other amounts shall thereupon become
and be immediately due and payable, without presentation, demand, protest,
notice of protest or other notice of dishonor of any kind, all of which are
hereby expressly waived by the Company; and the Agent (acting directly or
through appointment of one or more trustees of the Agent's choosing) may proceed
to protect and enforce its rights and those of the Issuing Bank, the Lenders and
other Senior Secured Parties under the Loan Documents in any manner or order it
deems expedient without regard to any equitable principles of marshalling or
otherwise. It is agreed that, in addition to all other rights hereunder or under
law, the Agent shall have the right to institute proceedings in equity or other
appropriate proceedings for the specific performance of any covenant or
agreement made in any of the Loan Documents or for an injunction against the
violation of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents or in aid of the
exercise of any power granted in any of the Loan Documents or by law or
otherwise. Further, the Lenders shall be entitled to the appointment of a
trustee or receiver for all or any part of the businesses of the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries, which trustee or receiver shall have such powers as may be
conferred by the appointing authority. All rights and remedies given by this

                                     - 90 -
<PAGE>

Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not
exclusive of any of such rights or remedies or of any other rights or remedies
available to the Agent or any Lender, and no course of dealing between the
Company and the Agent or any Lender or any delay or omission in exercising any
right or remedy shall operate as a waiver of any right or remedy, and every
right and remedy may be exercised from time to time and as often as shall be
deemed appropriate by the Agent or any Lender.

                  9.2.2 WAIVERS. The Agent may (if authorized pursuant to
Subsection 12.11 (Amendments, Waivers and Consents)), by written notice to the
Company, at any time and from time to time waive in whole or in part, and
absolutely or unconditionally, any Event of Default. Any such waiver shall be
for such period and subject to such conditions or limitations as may be
specified in any such notice. In the case of any such waiver, the rights of the
Agent and the Lenders shall be otherwise unaffected and any Event of Default so
waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing only to the extent and on
the conditions or limitations set forth in such waiver (unless such waiver shall
state to the contrary), but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or
other Event of Default, or impair any right upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default.

                  9.2.3 REGULATORY MATTERS. If counsel to the Agent, the Issuing
Bank or any Lender, as the case may be, reasonably determines that the consent
of the FCC, any PUC, or other applicable regulatory authority is required in
connection with any of the actions which may be taken by the Agent, the Issuing
Bank or any of the Lenders, as the case may be, in the exercise of their rights
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, then the Company, at its sole cost
and expense, shall use its best efforts to secure such consent and to cooperate
fully with the Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, as the case may be, in
any action commenced by any such Person, to secure such consent. Upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Company,
subject to the provisions of applicable law, shall promptly execute and file
and/or cause the execution and filing of all applications, certificates,
instruments and other documents that the Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Lenders
deem necessary or advisable to file in order to obtain any governmental consent,
approval, or authorization, and if the Company fails or refuses to execute, or
fails or refuses to cause another Person to execute, such documents, the clerk
of any court with jurisdiction over the Loan Documents may execute and file the
same on behalf of the Company. The Company recognizes that the FCC Licenses and
other Franchises held by the Company and its Subsidiaries are unique assets
which may have to be transferred in order for the Lenders and other Senior
Secured Parties adequately to realize the value of their security interests. The
Company further recognizes that a violation of this covenant would result in
irreparable harm to the Lenders and other Senior Secured Parties for which
monetary damages are not readily ascertainable. Therefore, in addition to any
other remedy which may be available to the Agent, the Lenders or other Senior
Secured Parties, as the case may be, at law or in equity, the Agent, the Lenders
or other Senior Secured Parties, as the case may be, shall have the remedy of
specific performance of the provisions of this Subsection. To enforce the
provisions of this Subsection 9.2.3, the Agent is authorized to request the
consent or approval of the FCC, any PUC or other regulatory authority to a
voluntary or an involuntary transfer of control of any FCC License or other
Franchise. In connection with the exercise of its

                                     - 91 -
<PAGE>

remedies under the Loan Documents, the Agent may obtain the appointment of a
trustee or receiver to assume, upon receipt of all necessary judicial, FCC, PUC
or other regulatory authority consents or approvals, control of the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries. Such trustee or receiver shall have all rights and
powers provided to it by law or by court order or provided to the Agent or the
Lenders or other Senior Secured Parties under the Loan Documents. In addition,
the Company shall take, or cause to be taken, any action which the Agent may
reasonably request in order to obtain and enjoy the full rights and benefits
granted to the Agent, the Lenders and other Senior Secured Parties by the Loan
Documents, including, without limitation, at the Company's cost and expense, the
exercise of its best efforts to cooperate in obtaining FCC, any PUC, or other
regulatory approval of any action or transaction contemplated by the Loan
Documents which is then required by law.

                  9.2.4 CERTAIN LIMITATIONS. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the
Agent and the Lenders will not knowingly take any action pursuant to this
Agreement or any such documents which would constitute or result in assignment
of an FCC License or other Franchise or any transfer of control of the holder of
an FCC License or other Franchise if such assignment of license or transfer of
control would require under then existing law (including the written rules and
regulations promulgated by the FCC or any PUC), the prior approval of the FCC or
such PUC, without first obtaining such approval. In connection with this
provision, the Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely upon the advice
of counsel of the Agent's choice whether or not the advice rendered is
ultimately determined to have been accurate.

         9.3 DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS.

                  If any Event of Default continues uncured for at least 90
days, then upon the request of the Agent, the Company shall enter into a deposit
account control agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Agent, with each financial institution that is not a Lender with which the
Company maintains any deposit accounts.

                                   ARTICLE 10
                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

                  In order to induce the Issuing Bank and the Lenders to enter
into this Agreement and to make the Loans and other extensions of credit
contemplated by this Agreement, the Company hereby makes the following
representations, covenants and warranties, which representations, covenants and
warranties shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Notes
and the other Loan Documents and shall not be affected or waived by any
inspection or examination made by or on behalf of the Agent, the Issuing Bank or
the Lenders:

         10.1 STATUS.

                  10.1.1 ORGANIZATION AND QUALIFICATION. SPC, the Company and
each of the Company's Subsidiaries are duly organized and validly existing
corporations, partnerships or limited liability companies, as applicable, under
the laws of the respective states indicated on Schedule 10.1 and each is in good
standing under the laws of its state of formation. Each of

                                     - 92 -
<PAGE>

SPC, the Company and the corporate Subsidiaries of the Company, has perpetual
corporate existence, and each of SPC, the Company, and the Subsidiaries of the
Company has the corporate, partnership or limited liability company power and
authority to own its property and assets and to transact the business in which
it is engaged or presently proposes to engage. None of SPC, the Company, or any
of the Company's Subsidiaries has failed to qualify to do business in any state
or jurisdiction where the failure to so qualify could have a Material Adverse
Effect.

                  10.1.2 STOCK OWNERSHIP. All of the common stock of the Company
is owned by SPC. The preferred stock of the Company is owned by Permitted
Holders. The classes of stock of the Company and the principal characteristics
of each such class and the number and percentage interests of each class owned
by SPC and the Permitted Holders are listed on Schedule 10.1. The Company does
not have any Subsidiary and does not presently operate all or any portion of its
businesses through any Person, other than as disclosed on Schedule 10.1.
Schedule 10.1 also correctly lists as to each Subsidiary of the Company on the
date of this Agreement

                           (a) its name,

                           (b) the jurisdiction of its incorporation or
organization,

                           (c) the classes of stock or partnership or other
equity interest issued by such Person and the principal characteristics of each
such class, and

                           (d) the number and percentage of the issued and
outstanding shares or partnership interests of each class (and certificate
numbers by which such interests are designated) owned by (i) Comcast and (ii)
Permitted Holders.

                  All the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company and
of each of its Subsidiaries are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable,
and all such shares owned by SPC and all such shares and partnership and other
equity interests indicated in Schedule 10.1 as owned by the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries are so owned beneficially and of record by SPC, the Company and
each such Subsidiary, free and clear of any Lien, except for the Lien created
pursuant to the Loan Documents. Schedule 10.1 also correctly lists as to the
Company and each Subsidiary of the Company any options, warrants or other
securities issued by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company; all such
options, warrants or other securities are held by Permitted Holders or Persons
identified on Schedule 10.1. No Subsidiary owns any shares of the Company as of
the date hereof. Except as set forth on Schedule 10.1, there are no preemptive
rights or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any restriction on
the voting or transfer of any shares of, capital stock of the Company or any
Subsidiary of the Company pursuant to the certificate or articles of
incorporation, bylaws or other governing document or any agreement or other
instrument to which the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company is a party or
by which any of them may be bound. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is
understood that Susquehanna Cable and, from time to time, other Subsidiaries of
the Company may have certain phantom equity programs as part of their employee
incentive programs, but such phantom equity issued pursuant to such programs
provides only an economic (rather than ownership) benefit to the beneficiaries.

         10.2 POWER AND AUTHORITY.

                  SPC, the Company and each of the Company's Subsidiaries has
the corporate, partnership or other power to execute, deliver and carry out, as
the case may be, the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents to which each is
a party, and each such Person has taken all necessary corporate, partnership or
other action (including, without limitation, any consent of stockholders or
partners required by law or by their respective articles of incorporation or
bylaws or other organizational documents) to authorize (as applicable to such
Person) the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which
each is a party. The Loan Documents, when executed and delivered by SPC, the
Company or the Company's Subsidiaries, as applicable, constitute or will
constitute the authorized, valid and legally binding obligations of such Person
enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as such
enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium
or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally
and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is
sought in a court of law or at equity).

         10.3 NO VIOLATION OF AGREEMENTS.

                  The execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and
compliance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents, will not (x)
violate any provision of law or any injunction or any applicable regulation,
order, writ, judgment or decree of any court or governmental department,
commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality applicable to SPC, the
Company or any of the Company's Subsidiaries, or (y) require consent under,
conflict or will be inconsistent with, or will result in any breach of, any of
the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default
under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to impose)
any Lien, other than the Liens created under the Loan Documents or Permitted
Liens, upon any of the property or assets of SPC, the Company or any of the
Company's Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of, any agreement, indenture,
franchise, license, permit, mortgage or deed of trust to which any such Person
is a party or by which any such Person may be bound, or to which any such Person
may be subject, or (z) violate any of the provisions of the articles of
incorporation, bylaws or other organizational document of any such Person.

         10.4 RECORDING, ENFORCEABILITY AND CONSENT; VALIDITY OF SECURITY
         INTEREST.

                  (a) Assuming the due recording of the UCC-1 financing
statements delivered in connection herewith, no consent, approval or
authorization of any Person, or recording, filing, registration, notice or other
similar action with or to any Person, is required in order to insure the
legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any of the Loan
Documents as against all Persons, except (i) such consents, approvals or
authorizations as have been obtained and remain in effect, (ii) certain consents
respecting the pledge of specific franchises, minority interests and certain
other assets which in the aggregate, do not constitute a material amount of
assets and (iii) such filings as may be required as contemplated in Section 8.30
(Filings). No consent, approval or authorization of any Person which has not
been obtained is required for the continued conduct by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries of their business as now conducted or as proposed to be conducted.

                  (b) The Company has delivered, or caused to be delivered, to
the Agent all UCC-1 financing statements in recordable form that may be
necessary to perfect the security interests granted pursuant to the Loan
Documents to the extent that such security instruments may be perfected by
filing. The Company has delivered, or caused to be delivered,

                                     - 94 -
<PAGE>

to the Agent all instruments, documents and investment property necessary to
perfect the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents, to the
extent that a security interest therein may be perfected by delivery. The Agent
has a valid, first priority security interest in all of the equity and Material
Assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries and all of the equity of the Company
owned by SPC and all of the equity of Subsidiaries of the Company owned by the
Company or its Subsidiaries, subject only to Permitted Liens.

         10.5 LITIGATION; COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.

                  Except as set forth on Schedule 10.5, there are no actions,
suits, protests, reconsiderations or proceedings pending, or to the knowledge of
the Company, threatened, against or affecting SPC, the Company or any of the
Company's Subsidiaries before any court or before any governmental or
administrative body or agency, including without limitation the FCC or any PUC,
wherein unfavorable decisions, rulings or findings individually or in the
aggregate could have a Material Adverse Effect. None of SPC, the Company or any
of the Company's Subsidiaries is in default under the provisions of any
applicable statute, rule, order, writ, injunction, judgment, decree, certificate
or regulation of any governmental authority having jurisdiction in respect of
any such Person, which default could have a Material Adverse Effect.

         10.6 NO BURDENSOME AGREEMENTS.

                  None of SPC, the Company or any of the Company's Subsidiaries
is a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any corporate or other
restrictions which, assuming compliance by such Persons with the terms of such
agreements or instruments, could have a Material Adverse Effect.

         10.7 CONDITION OF PROPERTY; AGREEMENTS.

                  All of the material properties, equipment and systems of the
Company and its Subsidiaries are in good repair, working order and condition and
are and will be in material compliance with all standards or rules imposed by
any governmental agency or authority (including, without limitation, the FCC,
any PUC, and state or other local governments or instrumentalities) and as
imposed under any Franchise or agreements with telephone companies, other
utility companies and other Persons. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries
has obtained all material easements and equipment rental or other agreements
necessary for the operation of its business as now conducted.

         10.8 FEES.

                  The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has paid all
franchise, license and other fees and charges which have become due pursuant to
any franchise or permit in respect of its business and has made appropriate
provision as is required by GAAP for any such fees and charges which have
accrued.

         10.9 LICENSES.

                  The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has duly secured all
necessary Franchises from, and has filed all required registrations,
applications, reports and other documents with, and paid all required royalty
and other fees to, the FCC, United States Copyright Office, the Register of
Copyrights, the Copyright Royalty Tribunal, each PUC and other entities
exercising jurisdiction over the provision of cable television and broadcast
radio or the construction of delivery systems therefor, in respect of their
respective businesses as currently conducted, in each case, where the failure to
do any of the foregoing could have a Material Adverse Effect. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Company and its Subsidiaries hold the FCC
Licenses and Franchises specified on Schedule 10.9 hereto; except as disclosed
on Schedule 10.9, all such FCC Licenses and Franchises are valid and in full
force and effect; no event has occurred which could (i) result in the revocation
or termination of any such FCC License or Franchise, or (ii) materially and
adversely affect any rights of the Company or its Subsidiaries under any such
FCC License or Franchise; and the Company has no reason to believe and no
knowledge that the FCC Licenses and Franchises specified on Schedule 10.9

                                     - 95 -
<PAGE>

will not be renewed in the ordinary course. True and correct copies of all FCC
Licenses and all Franchises listed on Schedule 10.9 have been delivered to any
Lender that has so requested, and true and correct copies of any additional
material FCC Licenses and Franchises secured after the date of this Agreement by
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including renewals of existing FCC
Licenses and Franchises) shall be promptly delivered to any Lender that so
requests.

                  Schedule 10.9 correctly lists (a) the FCC Licenses which are
held by the Company or its Subsidiaries and (b) the other Franchises which are
held by such Persons, (c) the geographical area to which each such FCC License
or other Franchise relates and (d) the expiration date, if any, of each such FCC
License or other Franchise. Each Franchise issued to the Company or its
Subsidiaries is in full force and effect and each of the Company and its
Subsidiaries has fulfilled and performed all of its material obligations with
respect to each such Franchise. No event has occurred which permits, or after
notice or lapse of time or both would permit, revocation or termination of any
such Franchise, or which materially adversely affects or, so far as the Company
can now foresee, will materially adversely affect the rights of a holder of any
such Franchise.

         10.10 TITLE TO PROPERTIES; LIENS.

                  The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has good and
marketable title to its properties and assets, including the properties and
assets reflected in the financial statements referred to in Subsection 10.14.1
(Financial Statements) (except properties and assets disposed of since the date
thereof in the ordinary course of business and properties and assets held under
Capital Leases), and none of such properties or assets is subject to any Liens
except Permitted Liens. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries enjoys peaceful
and undisturbed possession under all leases necessary in any material respect
for the operation of such properties and assets, and all such leases are valid
and subsisting and are in full force and effect.

         10.11 PATENTS, TRADEMARKS, ETC.

                  Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries holds or has agreed
to purchase all patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights,
franchises, licenses (including FCC Licenses and Franchises) and authorizations,
and all rights with respect to the foregoing, necessary for the conduct of its
business as now conducted, without any known material conflict with the rights
of others and subject only to Permitted Liens. Neither the Company nor any of
its Subsidiaries owns any material copyrights.

         10.12 NAMES.

                  None of SPC, the Company or any of the Company's Subsidiaries
uses or has used for any material purposes within the past five (5) years any
fictitious, trade or assumed name other than "BlazeNet" or "Susquehanna
Communications."

         10.13 MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT.

                  Except for management agreements permitted by Subsection 8.8.1
(Limitations on Management Arrangements), the Company and its Subsidiaries are
not parties to any management or other similar agreement.

         10.14 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND PROJECTIONS.

                  10.14.1 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The Company has delivered to
each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank complete and correct copies of the
unaudited financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. Such financial statements delivered to the
Lenders and the Issuing Bank have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied
on a consistent basis throughout the period specified and present fairly in all

                                     - 96 -
<PAGE>

material respects the financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries as
of the date specified and the results of operations and statements of cash flow
for the period specified. Officers' Certificates delivered to the Lenders and
the Issuing Bank after the date of this Agreement which certify the truth and
accuracy of the representations (including those set forth in Sections 10.14 and
10.15) shall be deemed to apply to financial statements which the Company has
most recently delivered to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank as of the time of
such certification.

                  10.14.2 PROJECTIONS. The operating projections submitted on
behalf of the Company to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank pursuant to Subsection
5.1.12 (Financial Statements; Projections) present to the best of the Company's
knowledge and belief based on the assumptions set forth in such projections the
expected results of operations and sources and uses of cash of the Company for
the periods covered by the projections.

         10.15 CHANGES.

                  Since December 31, 2002, there has been no Material Adverse
Change. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has since December 31,
2002 directly or indirectly declared, ordered, paid, made or set apart any sum
or property for any Restricted Payment or agreed to do so, except (a) prior to
the Effective Date, transactions permitted under the Existing Facilities, and
(b) after the Effective Date, transactions permitted by this Agreement.

         10.16 TAX RETURNS AND PAYMENTS.

                  All tax returns required by law to be filed (including
extensions) by or in respect of each of SPC, the ESOP, the Company and the
Company's Subsidiaries have been filed and all taxes, assessments and other
governmental charges levied upon them and any of their respective properties,
assets, income or franchises which are due and payable have been paid, other
than those presently payable without penalty or interest. The Company knows of
no unpaid assessment for additional federal or state income or business and
occupation taxes for any period or any basis for any such assessment for which
adequate provision has not been made in its accounts or in the balance sheets
referred to in Section 10.14 (Financial Statements and Projections).

         10.17 INDEBTEDNESS.

                  Schedule 10.17 correctly describes all secured and unsecured
Indebtedness of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries outstanding or for
which any such Person has commitments. The Company and its Subsidiaries are not
in default beyond any applicable grace period with respect to any Indebtedness
or any instrument or agreement relating to such Indebtedness. No instrument or
agreement relating to any Indebtedness and no instrument or agreement applicable
to or binding on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries contains any
restrictions on the incurrence by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company
of additional Indebtedness, except the Loan Documents and the Senior
Subordinated Indentures.

         10.18 FEDERAL RESERVE REGULATIONS.

                  No Indebtedness that is required to be, or will be, reduced or
retired from the proceeds of the Loans was incurred for the purpose of
purchasing or carrying any "margin stock" within the meaning of Regulation U of
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (12 C.F.R. 221, as
amended), and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries owns or has any
present intention to acquire any such margin stock.

         10.19    INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT.

                  None of SPC, the Company or any of the Company's 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.

         10.20 PUBLIC UTILITY HOLDING COMPANY ACT.

                  None of SPC, the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company is a
"holding company", or a "subsidiary company" of a "holding company", or an
"affiliate" of a "holding company" or of a "subsidiary company" of a "holding
company", as such terms are defined in the Public Utility Holding Company Act of
1935, as amended.

         10.21 COMPLIANCE WITH ERISA AND ESOP MATTERS.

                  10.21.1 PLANS. None of SPC, the Company, any of the Company's
Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate maintains or contributes to any Plan or
other pension or similar employee benefit plan, except as disclosed in Schedule
10.21.

                  10.21.2 FAVORABLE DETERMINATION LETTERS. Each Plan as most
recently amended (except for any amendment (i) to comply with the Code's minimum
distribution rules which uses the Internal Revenue Service's model amendment for
such rules that was provided by Revenue Procedure 2002-29 or (ii) to comply in
good faith with the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001),
which is intended to be qualified within the meaning of Section 401 of the Code,
is the subject of a current favorable determination by the Internal Revenue
Service with respect to its qualification under Section 401 of the Code. SPC has
received a current favorable determination letter issued by the Internal Revenue
Service stating that the ESOP, as amended up to the date of this Agreement
(except for any amendment (i) to comply with the Code's minimum distribution
rules which uses the Internal Revenue Service's model amendment for such rules
that was provided by Revenue Procedure 2002-29 or (ii) to comply in good faith
with the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001), is
qualified for favorable tax treatment under Section 401 and as applicable,
Section 409 of the Code.

                  10.21.3 COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. The Company, its Subsidiaries and
the ERISA Affiliates have operated each Plan in all material respects in
compliance with the requirements of the Code and ERISA and the terms of each
Plan.

                  10.21.4 ABSENCE OF CERTAIN CONDITIONS. Except as specifically
disclosed in Schedule 10.21: (1) no Plan has engaged in any transaction in
connection with which SPC, the Company, any of the Company's Subsidiaries or any
ERISA Affiliate could be subject to either a material civil penalty assessed
pursuant to Section 502(i) of ERISA or a material tax penalty imposed pursuant
to Section 4975 of the Code, (2) there is no Accumulated Funding Deficiency with
respect to any Employee Pension Plan, whether or not waived, or an unfulfilled
obligation to contribute to any Multiemployer Plan or withdrawal from any
Multiemployer Plan, (3) no Employee Pension Plan has been terminated under
conditions which resulted or could result in any material liability to the PBGC,
(4) no material liability to the PBGC has been or is expected

                                     - 98 -

by the Company to be incurred with respect to any Plan maintained by SPC, the
Company or any of the Company's Subsidiaries or ERISA Affiliates except for
required premium payments to the PBGC, (5) there has been (a) since January 1,
1995 no Reportable Event with respect to any Employee Pension Plan (except to
the extent that the PBGC has waived such reporting requirement with respect to
any such event), and (b) no event or condition which presents a material risk of
termination of any Employee Pension Plan by the PBGC, in either case involving
conditions which could result in any liability to the PBGC, (6) none of SPC, the
Company and any of the Company's Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate has
incurred or anticipates incurring Withdrawal Liability with respect to any
Multiemployer Plan, (7) no Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganization, (8) SPC, the
Company, the Company's Subsidiaries and the ERISA Affiliates have complied in
all material respects with the health continuation coverage requirements of
COBRA and the requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act of 1996, (9) there is no unfunded liability in respect of any
Plan, (10) there is not now, and has not been, any violation of the Code or
ERISA with respect to the filing of applicable reports, documents, and notices
regarding any Plan with the Secretary of Labor, the Secretary of the Treasury,
the PBGC or any other governmental entity or the furnishing of such documents to
the participants or beneficiaries of such Plan, and (11) as of the Closing Date
except as set forth on Schedule 10.21, no Employee Pension Plan has experienced
a partial termination whether as a result of the freezing of benefit accruals
thereunder or otherwise.

                  10.21.5 ABSENCE OF CERTAIN LIABILITIES. No liability (whether
or not such liability is being litigated) has been asserted against SPC, the
Company, any of the Company's Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate in connection
with any Employee Pension Plan or any Multiemployer Plan by the PBGC other than
for required premium payments to the PBGC, by a trustee appointed pursuant to
Section 4042(b) or (c) of ERISA, or by a sponsor or an agent of a sponsor of a
Multiemployer Plan, and no lien has been attached and no Person has threatened
to attach a lien on any of SPC's, the Company's, any of the Company's
Subsidiaries' or any ERISA Affiliate's property as a result of failure to comply
with ERISA or as a result of the termination of any Plan.

                  10.21.6 ESOP VALUATION MATTERS. The ESOP has purchased or will
purchase the shares of stock subject thereto for fair market value as evidenced
by a valuation provided by an independent and nationally-respected third-party
appraiser.

                  10.21.7 INDEPENDENT REVIEW. The ESOP's purchase of shares, as
described in Subsection 10.21.6 above, was or will be reviewed and approved by
an independent fiduciary of the ESOP.

                  10.21.8 NO PROHIBITED TRANSACTION. The ESOP Loan is and will
be exempt by Section 4975(d)(3) of the Code and by Section 408(b)(3) of ERISA
from the "prohibited transactions" listed in Section 4975(c) of the Code and in
Section 406 of ERISA, respectively; and (ii) the purchase of shares of stock in
SPC by the ESOP is and will be exempt by Section 4975(d)(13) of the Code and by
Section 408(e) of ERISA from such "prohibited transactions."

                  10.21.9 ESOP LIABILITIES. Under the terms of the ESOP and the
ESOP Sharing Agreement, the Company is not, and will not at any time (by means
of an amendment to the ESOP Plan or otherwise) be, liable for the ESOP
Compensation Expense or ESOP Repurchase Payments related to any Persons that are
not employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

                  10.21.10 ANNUAL CONTRIBUTION TO ESOP. Under the terms of the
ESOP, a participating employer in the ESOP is required to contribute the ESOP
Compensation Expense on an annual basis to the ESOP's trust fund.

                  10.21.11 FAILURE TO PAY ESOP COMPENSATION EXPENSE. Under the
terms of the ESOP and the ESOP Loan, if a party other than the Company fails to
contribute its ESOP Compensation Expense, it may result in the ESOP's default on
the ESOP Loan, but will not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

                  10.21.12 FIDUCIARY LIABILITY. Any breach of fiduciary
responsibilities under ERISA by a fiduciary of the ESOP will not have a Material
Adverse Effect on the Company.

                  10.21.13 CODE SECTION 1042 TREATMENT. To the extent the ESOP's
purchase of shares, as described in Subsection 10.21.6 above, is from an
outstanding shareholder and is intended to allow such shareholder to elect the
non-recognition of gain provided in Section 1042 of the Code, (a) during the
three-year period after the date the ESOP acquires such shares, the ESOP will
not dispose of such shares in any manner that would cause the imposition of an
excise tax under Section 4978 of the Code on SPC or any of its Affiliates or the
Company or any ERISA Affiliates, and (b) while the ESOP holds such shares, the
ESOP will not allocate such shares within the ESOP in any manner that would
cause the imposition of an excise tax under Section 4979A of the Code on SPC or
any of its Affiliates or the Company or any ERISA Affiliates.

         10.22 ACCURACY AND COMPLETENESS OF DISCLOSURE.

                  Neither this Agreement nor any other document, certificate or
instrument delivered to the Agent or Lenders by or on behalf of SPC, the Company
or any of the Company's Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement contains any untrue statement of a material fact
or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
contained in this Agreement and in such other documents, certificates or
instruments not misleading in light of the circumstances under which such
statements were made.

         10.23 ADEQUACY OF CAPITAL.

                  The proceeds of the Loans, together with the proceeds of
Indebtedness permitted under Section 8.1 (Indebtedness), will be sufficient
until satisfaction in full of the Loans to enable the Company and its
Subsidiaries to operate their respective businesses as currently contemplated by
the Company.

         10.24 ABSENCE OF RESTRICTIVE PROVISIONS.

                  Other than this Agreement and the Senior Subordinated
Indentures, none of SPC, the Company or any of the Company's Subsidiaries is
subject or party to any agreement, lien or encumbrance, charter or bylaw,
regulatory, or other provision (except for applicable statutory corporate law),
restricting, directly or indirectly, (a) the payment of

                                    - 100 -

dividends by a Subsidiary of the Company or the making of advances or other cash
payments by any Subsidiary to the Company, or (b) the ability of SPC, the
Company or any of the Company's Subsidiaries to create, incur, assume or permit
to exist any Lien on or with respect to any property or asset (including,
without limitation, any document or instrument in respect of goods or accounts
receivable) of SPC, the Company or any of the Company's Subsidiaries, provided
that the representation as to SPC in this clause (b) applies only with respect
to SPC's ownership interest in the Company.

         10.26 SOLVENCY.

                  The Company and each of its Subsidiaries is Solvent and will
be Solvent after giving effect to the Restricted Payment contemplated by

         10.27 SUBORDINATION.

or subject the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to any liability.

         11.2 DURATION; SURVIVAL.

                  All representations and warranties of SPC, the Company, any
Subsidiary of the Company or other pledgor or subordinated party contained in

covenants and agreements of the Company and such Persons contained in the Loan
Documents shall continue in full force and effect from and after the date of
this Agreement so long as the Company may borrow or obtain Letters of Credit
under this Agreement and until termination of the Commitment and payment in full

provided in the Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or
remedies which the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender would otherwise have.
No notice to or demand on the Company in any case shall entitle the Company to
any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or shall
constitute a waiver of the right of the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to
take any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

         11.4 ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND AMENDMENTS.

                  This Agreement, the Letters of Credit and related documents
and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement between the parties
to this Agreement with respect to the Commitment, the Letters of Credit, the
Loans and the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents and, except as
expressly provided in the Loan Documents, shall not be affected by reference to
any other documents. Neither this Agreement nor any provision of this Agreement
may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but such may be
accomplished only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom
enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought, subject
to the provisions of Section 12.11 (Amendments, Waivers and Consents) in the
case of a waiver to be signed by the Agent. Subject to the provisions of said
Section 12.11, as amended from time to time, the Agent and the Company may enter
into agreements amending, changing or supplementing any of the provisions of
this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document. Similarly, subject to said
Section 12.11, the Agent may waive compliance with any provision of this
Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document. It is understood and agreed,
however, that Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders may amend or modify the
provisions of Article 12 (other than the second sentence of Section 12.6
(Resignation of Agent) to the extent it refers to the Company) without the need
for any consent or approval from the Company, it being acknowledged that the
Company and its Subsidiaries are not third party beneficiaries of the provisions
of Article 12 (other than the second sentence of Section 12.6 (Resignation of
Agent) to the extent it refers to the Company).

         11.5 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

                  11.5.1 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS GENERALLY. The provisions of
this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties

hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions
of Subsection 11.5.2 (Assignments by Lenders), (ii) by way of participation in
accordance with the provisions of Subsection 11.5.4 (Participants), or (iii) by
way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions
of Subsection 11.5.6 (Certain Pledges) (and any other attempted assignment or
transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement,
expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than
the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby,
Participants to the extent provided in Subsection 11.5.4 (Participants) and, to
the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the
Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by
reason of this Agreement.

                  11.5.2 ASSIGNMENTS BY LENDERS. Any Lender may at any time
assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment
and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that

                                    - 104 -
<PAGE>

                  (a) except in the case of an assignment of the entire
remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Commitment and the Loans at the time
owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a
Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the
Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if
the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding
balance of the Loan of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment
(determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such
assignment is delivered to the Agent or, if "Trade Date" is specified in the
Assignment and Assumption in substantially the form annexed to this Agreement as
Exhibit M, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $1,000,000, unless each
of the Agent and, so long as no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, the Company otherwise consents (each such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

                  (b) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of
a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under
this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned, except that
this clause prohibits any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights
and obligations among separate tranches on a non-pro rata basis;

                  (c) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an
Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, any assignment of a Commitment and/or
Loans must be approved by (i) the Agent, (ii) so long as no Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company, and (iii) in the case of a
Revolving Credit Commitment, the Issuing Bank unless the Person that is the
proposed assignee is itself a Lender with outstanding Loans, a Commitment or
Revolving Credit Commitment, as applicable (whether or not the proposed assignee
would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee) provided, no such consent may
be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and

                  (d) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver
to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and
recordation fee of $3,500, and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a
Lender, shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Agent pursuant to paragraph
(c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each
Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to
this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment
and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under
this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue
to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.8.6 (Additional Costs,
Unavailability, Etc.), 2.12 (Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders),
3.5 (Taxes) and 11.15 (Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver) with respect to facts
and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any
assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement
that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this
Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and
obligations in accordance with Subsection 11.5.4 (Participants).

                  11.5.3 REGISTER. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as
an agent of the Company, shall maintain at one of its offices in Charlotte,
North Carolina a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a
register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the
Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender
pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in
the Register shall be conclusive, and the Company, the Agent and the Lenders may
treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms
hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding
notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the
Company and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice.

                  11.5.4 PARTICIPATIONS. Any Lender may at any time, without the
consent of, or notice to, the Company or the Agent, sell participations to any
Person (other than a natural person or the Company or any of the Company's
Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a "Participant") in all or a portion of such
Lender's rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a
portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such
Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such
Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations and (iii) the Company, the Agent and the other
Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement.

                  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells
such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right
to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver
of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument
may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant,
agree to any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to clauses (a)-(h)
specified in Section 12.11 (Amendments, Waivers and Consents) that affects such
Participant. Subject to paragraph (e) of this Section, the Company agrees that
each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.8.6 (Additional
Costs, Unavailability, Etc.), 2.12 (Mitigation of Obligations; Replacement of
Lenders) and 3.5 (Taxes) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had
acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Subsection 11.5.2 (Assignment by
Lenders). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be
entitled to the benefits of Section 11.13 (Set-off) as though it were a Lender,
provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 12.14 (Sharing of
Payments by Lenders) as though it were a Lender.

                  11.5.5 LIMITATIONS UPON PARTICIPANT RIGHTS. A Participant
shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.8.6
(Additional Costs, Unavailability, Etc.), and 3.5 (Taxes) than the applicable
Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation
sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such
Participant is made with the Company's prior written consent. A Participant that
would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the
benefits of Section 3.5 (Taxes) unless the Company is notified of the
participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the
benefit of the Company, to comply with Subsection 3.5.5(d) as though it were a
Lender.

                  11.5.6 CERTAIN PLEDGES. Any Lender may at any time pledge or
assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this
Agreement to secure obligations of such

                                    - 106 -
<PAGE>

Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure
obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or
assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or
substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

         11.6 CALCULATIONS AND FINANCIAL DATA.

                  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, calculations
under this Agreement shall be made and financial data and terms referred to in
this Agreement shall be prepared and interpreted both as to classification of
items and as to amounts in accordance with GAAP. It is hereby acknowledged that
the unaudited quarterly financial statements required by Subsection 6.1.1
(Delivery of Quarterly Financial Statements) of this Agreement shall be deemed
to comply with this Section, notwithstanding that they may not contain
footnotes.

         11.7 DESCRIPTIVE HEADINGS.

                  The descriptive headings of the several sections of this
Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or

jurisdiction of the courts of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania sitting in
Philadelphia County and of the United States District Court of the Eastern
District of Pennsylvania, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any
action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of
the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in
respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such
Pennsylvania Commonwealth court or, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a
final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be
enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner
provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall
affect any right that the Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may otherwise
have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document against the Company or its properties in the courts of any
jurisdiction.

                  11.8.3 WAIVER OF VENUE. The Company irrevocably and
unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any
objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any
action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document in any court referred to Subsection 11.8.2 (Submission to
Jurisdiction). Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the
fullest extent

                                    - 107 -

permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the

consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section

Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any
other manner permitted by applicable law.

         11.9 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

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

         11.10 HOLIDAYS.

the Loan Documents shall become due and payable on a day which is not a Business
Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such
extension of time shall in such case be included in computing interest on such
payment.

         11.11 COUNTERPARTS; INTEGRATION; EFFECTIVENESS; ELECTRONIC EXECUTION.

                  11.11.1 COUNTERPARTS; INTEGRATION; EFFECTIVENESS. This
Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in
different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of
which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and
any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Agent
constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter
hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or
written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become
effective on the Effective Date, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns. 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.

                  11.11.2 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

                                    - 108 -
<PAGE>

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.

         11.12 MAXIMUM LAWFUL INTEREST RATE.

                  Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement or
the Notes, the total liability of the Company for payment of interest pursuant
to this Agreement and the Notes shall not exceed the maximum amount of such
interest permitted by law to be charged, collected, or received from the
Company, and if any payments by the Company include interest in excess of such a
maximum amount, each Lender shall apply such excess to the reduction of the
unpaid principal amount due pursuant to this Agreement and the Notes, or if none
is due, such excess shall be refunded to the Company.

         11.13 SET-OFF.

                  Without limitation of any other rights of the Lenders or the
Issuing Bank, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each
Lender, the Issuing Bank, and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby
authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special,
time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and
other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the
Issuing Bank or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the
Company against any and all of the obligations of the Company now or hereafter
existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or the
Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or the Issuing Bank
shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and
although such obligations of the Company may be contingent or unmatured or are
owed to a branch or office of such Lender or the Issuing Bank different from the
branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The
rights of each Lender, the Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates under
this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other
rights of setoff) which such Lender, the Issuing Bank or their respective
Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank agrees promptly to notify
the Company and the Agent after any such setoff and application, provided that
the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and
application.

         11.14 SEVERABILITY.

                  Every provision of the Loan Documents is intended to be
severable, and if any term or provision of the Loan Documents shall be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable for any reason, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected or impaired
thereby, and any invalidity, illegality or unenforceability in any jurisdiction
shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any such term or
provision in any other jurisdiction. In the event that any provisions affecting
the Lenders' remedies or security interests shall be held illegal, invalid or
unenforceable, the Lenders shall be entitled, among other things, to reduce the
Available Commitment to the lesser of (a) the outstanding principal amount of
the Revolving Loan, as of the date of the rendering of such decision as to
illegality, invalidity or unenforceability or (b) the amount of such outstanding
principal as of the date on which such reduction is made.

Loans or Letters of Credit.

                  11.15.2 INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY. The Company shall
indemnify the Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and the Issuing
Bank, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person
being called an "Indemnitee") against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from,
any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including
the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee (and fees
and time charges for attorneys who may be employees of the Agent, any Lender or
the Issuing Bank), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out
of, in connection with, or as a result of (a) the execution or delivery of this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated
hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective
obligations hereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby, (b) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds
therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for

such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (c)
any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any
property owned or operated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any
Environmental Liability related in any way to the Company or any of its

or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort
or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto,
provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to
the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses
are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
such Indemnitee.

Expenses) and 11.15.2 (Indemnification by the Company) to be paid by it to the

of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent (or any such
sub-agent) or its Related Party, and each RC Lender severally agrees to pay the
Issuing Bank or its Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender's Applicable
Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense
or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the

expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Agent (or
any such sub-agent) or the Issuing Bank in its capacity as such, or against any
Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Agent (or any such
sub-agent) or Issuing Bank in connection with such capacity. The obligations of

                  11.15.4 WAIVER OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, ETC. To the fullest

actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated
hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of
Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to Subsection

         11.16 TREATMENT OF CERTAIN INFORMATION; CONFIDENTIALITY.

                  Each of the Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank agrees to
maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that
Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates' partners, directors,
officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other
advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made
will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed
to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any
regulatory authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the
National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by
applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d)
to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with any legal proceedings
(including the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan

Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder), (f) subject
to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this
Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee

(ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or
derivative transaction relating to the Company and its obligations, (g) with the
consent of the Company or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes
publicly available other than as a result of a breach of

                                    - 111 -
<PAGE>

this Section or (y) becomes available to the Agent, any Lender or the Issuing
Bank on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Company.

                  For purposes of this Section, "Information" means all
information received from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other
than any such information that is available to the Agent, any Lender or the
Issuing Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Company,
provided that, in the case of information received from the Company after the
date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as
confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information
as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its
obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to
maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to
its own confidential information.

                                   ARTICLE 12
                                      AGENT

         12.1 APPOINTMENT AND AUTHORITY. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing
Bank hereby irrevocably appoints Wachovia as its agent hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on its behalf
and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof or
thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agent,
the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, and the Company shall not have rights as a
third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

         12.2 RIGHTS AS A LENDER. The Person serving as the Agent hereunder
shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other
Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent and the term
"Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the
context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Agent hereunder in
its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits
from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory
capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company or
any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Agent
hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

         12.3 EXCULPATORY PROVISIONS. The Agent shall not have any duties or
obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan
Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent

                  (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied
duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing,

                  (b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action
or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers
expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Agent is
required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such
other number or percentage of the relevant Lenders as shall be

                                    - 112 -
<PAGE>

necessary under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.4 (Entire Agreement
and Amendments) and 9.2 (Acceleration; Remedies)), provided that the Agent shall
not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its
counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan
Document or applicable law,

                  (c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the
other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the
failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company or any of its
Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the person serving as the
Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity,

                  (d) shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by
it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other
number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the
circumstances as provided in Sections 11.4 (Entire Agreement and Amendments) and
9.2 (Acceleration; Remedies) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or
willful misconduct, and shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default
unless and until notice thereof is given to the Agent by the Company, a Lender
or the Issuing Bank, and

                  (e) shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain
or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in
connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of
any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or
in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any
of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or
therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability,
effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any
other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition
set forth in Article IV (Conditions to Fundings and Issuances of Letters of
Credit) or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly
required to be delivered to the Agent.

         12.4 RELIANCE BY AGENT. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and
shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request,
certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing
(including any electronic message, posting or other distribution) believed by it
to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the
proper Person. The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or
by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and
shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance
with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a
Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a
Lender or the Issuing Bank, the Agent may presume that such condition is
satisfactory to such Lender or the Issuing Bank unless the Agent shall have
received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Issuing Bank prior to
the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Agent may
consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), independent
accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any
action

                                    - 113 -
<PAGE>

taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel,
accountants or experts.

         12.5 DELEGATION OF DUTIES. The Agent may perform any and all of its
duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan
Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent. The
Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise
its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The
exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to
the Related Parties of the Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to
their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit
facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent.

         12.6 RESIGNATION OF AGENT. The Agent may at any time give notice of its
resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Company. Upon receipt of
any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in
consultation with the Company, to appoint a successor. If no such successor
shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted
such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its
resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the
Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Agent, provided that if the Agent shall notify
the Company and the Lenders that no such successor is willing to accept such
appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in
accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from
its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except
that in the case of any collateral security held by the Agent on behalf of the
Lenders or the Issuing Bank under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Agent
shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor
Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations
provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to
each Lender and the Issuing Bank directly, until such time as the Required
Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon
the acceptance of a successor's appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor
shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges
and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be
discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other
Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this
paragraph). The fees payable by the Company to a successor Agent shall be the
same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the
Company and such successor. After the retiring Agent's resignation hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.15
(Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver) shall continue in effect for the benefit of
such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in
respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the
retiring Agent was acting as Agent.

         12.7 NON-RELIANCE ON AGENT AND OTHER LENDERS. Each Lender and the
Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon
the Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such
documents and information as it has deemed

                                    - 114 -
<PAGE>

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

         12.8 NO OTHER DUTIES, ETC. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, none of the Arrangers listed on the cover page hereof shall
have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Agent, a
Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder.

         12.9 EXPENSES.

                  In default of reimbursement or indemnification by the Company,
the Lenders will, in proportion to their respective portions of the Commitment,
reimburse the Agent for and indemnify the Agent against all expense, liability,
penalty and damage of any nature whatsoever (including but not limited to
reasonable attorneys' fees) which may be incurred or sustained by the Agent in
any way in connection with the Loan Documents or its duties under the Loan
Documents provided that (i) no Lender shall be liable for any portion of the
foregoing items resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
Agent and (ii) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (or is
reasonably believed by the Agent to have occurred and be continuing), no Lender
shall be liable for the normal administrative costs and expenses of the Agent
incident to the performance of its duties as Agent under the Loan Documents, but
Lenders shall be liable for all out of pocket costs and expenses of the Agent
(including out of pocket administrative costs) during the existence of an Event
of Default (including one reasonably believed to exist by Agent) after demand
and failure by the Company to pay promptly. The Agent shall not have any
obligation to take any action in connection with the performance of its duties
as Agent under the Loan Documents which, in its opinion, requires the payment of
expenses or the incurrence of liability, if there is a reasonable ground for
belief that reimbursement of such expenses or liability is not reasonably
assured to it.

         12.10 INVESTIGATION BY LENDERS.

                  Each Lender expressly acknowledges that the Agent has not made
any representation or warranty to it and that no act taken by the Agent shall be
deemed to constitute a representation or warranty by the Agent to the Lenders.
Each Lender further acknowledges that it has taken and will continue to take
such action and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform
itself of the affairs of the Company and that it has made and will continue to
make its own independent investigation of the creditworthiness and the business
and operations of the Company. In entering into this Agreement, and in making an
advance under this Agreement, each Lender represents that it has not relied and
will not rely upon any information or representations furnished or given by the
Agent or by any other Lender. The Agent shall be under no duty or responsibility
to the Lenders to ascertain or to inquire into the performance or observance by
the Company of any of the provisions of this Agreement or any document or
instrument now or hereafter executed in connection with this Agreement. It is
expressly understood and agreed that the Agent shall not be deemed to have
knowledge of the existence, occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default or
Potential Event of Default, unless the officers of such Agent immediately
responsible for matters concerning this Agreement shall have actual knowledge of
such occurrence or the Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender
or the Company that such Lender or the Company, as applicable, considers that an
Event of Default or Potential Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
and specifying the nature of such Event of Default or Potential Event of
Default.

         12.11 AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS AND CONSENTS.

                  With the written consent of the Requisite Lenders, the Agent
may, on behalf of the Lenders, enter into agreements which change, amend or
supplement this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and with such consent,

                                    - 115 -
<PAGE>

the Agent may waive compliance with any provision of any of the Loan Documents,
all as referred to in this Section 12.11. However, no such change, amendment,
supplement or waiver shall, without the consent of each Lender:

                  (a) increase the maximum amount of (i) the Loans, (ii) the
Available Commitment or (iii) the Commitment, except in connection with an
increase to provide for Term C Loans in an aggregate principal amount not
exceeding $200,000,000 as contemplated by this Agreement or as specifically
provided in this Agreement,

                  (b) extend the Revolver Maturity Date, the Term A Maturity
Date, the Term B Maturity Date, the Maturity Date or waive a principal or
interest payment due on such date or extend any scheduled amortization date or
waive a principal or interest payment due on such date (but Requisite Lenders
may extend any other mandatory prepayment date); or reduce or forgive any
principal amount of the Loans;

                  (c) decrease the rate of or extend the date of payment of
interest, provided that the written consent of the Requisite Lenders, rather
than the consent of all Lenders, shall be sufficient to waive imposition of the
Default Rate pursuant to clause (c) of Subsection 2.8.8,

                  (d) reduce the amount of or extend the date of payment of the
fees payable under Subsection 2.7.1 (Commitment Fees) or other fees payable to
the Lenders,

                  (e) modify the provisions of this Section,

                  (f) amend the definition of "Requisite Lenders,"

                  (g) change the number of Lenders which are required to consent
to any proposed action under this Agreement before such action may be taken
under this Agreement,

                  (h) release all or substantially all of the guarantors or
Collateral security; provided however, the Agent may without the consent of any
Person release any guarantor or any collateral security granted pursuant to the
Loan Documents and file UCC-3 termination statements or statements of amendment
or take other appropriate action (i) as a court of competent jurisdiction may
direct, (ii) in connection with a disposition (other than to the Company or a
Subsidiary thereof) permitted under Subsection 8.7.2 (which subsection may be
amended by the Requisite Lenders) or as otherwise provided under the Loan
Documents, (iii) if in accordance with this Agreement cash proceeds from any
sale or transfer of the collateral are used to prepay outstanding sums due under
the Loans or are reinvested in the Company and its Subsidiaries, (iv) if such
collateral security is of little or no value (such as certificates representing
stock redeemed or exchanged consistent with the terms of this Agreement or
assets which have been abandoned) as certified by the Company in a written
statement requesting such release or (v) where a filing is no longer required
because of a change in applicable law or for a similar reason.

         12.12 ACTION UPON DEFAULTS.

                  12.12.1 ACTIONS BY AGENT. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default, the Agent upon (a) the request of the
Requisite Lenders and (b) the Lenders (in proportion to their respective
portions of the Loans) providing an indemnity in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Agent (the Agent acknowledging that an indemnity
substantially in the form of the indemnity set forth in Section 11.15 (Expenses;
Indemnity; Damage Waiver) will be satisfactory) of all expenses to the extent
not reimbursed by the Company (including but not limited to reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements), shall declare the Notes to be due and
payable and shall, subject to Subsections 9.2.3 (Regulatory Matters) and 9.2.4
(Certain Limitations), proceed to enforce the rights of the holders of the Notes
by such proceedings as the Agent may deem appropriate, whether at law or in
equity. Upon any request as aforesaid, the Agent shall declare the Notes to be
due and payable, but the Agent shall be justified in failing or refusing to take
any further action unless it shall be indemnified to its satisfaction as
aforesaid. It is agreed that if the Agent, having been so indemnified to its
satisfaction as aforesaid, or not having been so indemnified, shall fail to so
proceed, any Lender shall be entitled to take such action as it shall deem
appropriate to enforce its rights. If the exigencies of the circumstances so
require, the Agent may (but is under no circumstances obligated to) declare the
Notes due and payable after an Event of Default without any Lender's direction.
For the purposes of clause (a)(i) above, all Lenders which are part of the same
Family of Funds shall be treated as one Lender.

                  12.12.2 PROCEEDS OF COLLATERAL. The Agent, on behalf of all
the Lenders, shall hold in accordance with the Loan Documents all items of
collateral or interests therein received or held by the Agent. Subject to the
Agent's rights to reimbursement for its fees, costs and expenses (including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees) and subject to any terms in this
Agreement specifically directing that proceeds be applied otherwise, each Lender
shall have an interest in any collateral or interests therein in the same
proportions that the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans and
obligations under or in respect of Letters of Credit and Interest Rate
Protection Agreements owed such Lender bear to the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of the Loans and obligations under or in respect of Letters of
Credit and Interest Rate Protection Agreements owed to all the Lenders, without
priority or preference among the Lenders.

         12.13 INSTRUCTIONS.

                  The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or
in refraining from acting, under the Loan Documents in accordance with written
instructions of the Requisite Lenders or all Lenders, as applicable.

         12.14 SHARING OF PAYMENTS BY LENDERS.

                  If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or
counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or
interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such
Lender's receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans
and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata
share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater
proportion shall (a) notify the Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash
at face value) participations in the Loans

                                    - 117 -
<PAGE>

and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments
as shall be equitable, to the end that the benefit of all such payments shall be
shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of
principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts
owing them, provided that

         (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of
the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be
rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery,
without interest, and

         (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply
to (x) any payment made by the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the
express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as
consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its
Loans or participations in Letters of Credit to any assignee or participant,
other than to the Company or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions
of this paragraph shall apply).

The Company consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may
effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a
participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the
Company rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as
fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Company in the amount of
such participation.

         12.15 OTHER RELATIONSHIPS.

                  It is acknowledged that the Agent and the Lenders may now or
hereafter have lending or other relationships with the Company and Affiliates of
the Company, and it is agreed that the Agent and the Lenders are free to act
with respect thereto without consulting with one another and without regard to
the effect of any such action or relationship upon the Loans or obligations
hereunder.
