                                  SEPRACOR INC.

                            2000 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

1.     PURPOSE

       The purpose of this 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") of Sepracor
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), is to advance the interests of the
Company's stockholders by enhancing the Company's ability to attract, retain and
motivate persons who make (or are expected to make) important contributions to
the Company by providing such persons with equity ownership opportunities and
performance-based incentives and thereby better aligning the interests of such
persons with those of the Company's stockholders. Except where the context
otherwise requires, the term "Company" shall include any of the Company's
present or future subsidiary corporations as defined in Section 424(f) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any regulations promulgated
thereunder (the "Code") and any other business venture (including, without
limitation, joint venture or limited liability company) in which the Company has
a significant interest, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company
(the "Board").

2.     ELIGIBILITY

       All of the Company's employees, officers, directors, consultants and
advisors (and any individuals who have accepted an offer for employment) are
eligible to be granted options, restricted stock awards, or other stock-based
awards (each, an "Award") under the Plan. Each person who has been granted an
Award under the Plan shall be deemed a "Participant".

3.     ADMINISTRATION, DELEGATION

       (a)    ADMINISTRATION BY BOARD OF DIRECTORS. The Plan will be
administered by the Board. The Board shall have authority to grant Awards and to
adopt, amend and repeal such administrative rules, guidelines and practices
relating to the Plan as it shall deem advisable. The Board may correct any
defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or any
Award in the manner and to the extent it shall deem expedient to carry the Plan
into effect and it shall be the sole and final judge of such expediency. All
decisions by the Board shall be made in the Board's sole discretion and shall be
final and binding on all persons having or claiming any interest in the Plan or
in any Award. No director or person acting pursuant to the authority delegated
by the Board shall be liable for any action or determination relating to or
under the Plan made in good faith.

       (b)    APPOINTMENT OF COMMITTEES. To the extent permitted by applicable
law, the Board may delegate any or all of its powers under the Plan to one or
more committees or subcommittees of the Board (a "Committee"). All references in
the Plan to the "Board" shall mean the Board or a Committee of the Board
referred to in Section 3(b) to the extent that the Board's powers or authority
under the Plan have been delegated to such Committee.

4.     STOCK AVAILABLE FOR AWARDS

       (a)    NUMBER OF SHARES. Subject to adjustment under Section 8, Awards
may be made under the Plan for up to 2,500,000 shares of common stock, $.10 par
value per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock"). If any Award expires or is
terminated, surrendered or canceled without having been fully exercised or is
forfeited in whole or in part or results in any Common Stock not being issued,
the unused Common Stock covered by such Award shall again be available for the
grant of Awards under the Plan, subject, however, in the case of Incentive Stock
Options (as hereinafter defined), to any limitation required under the Code.
Shares issued under the Plan may consist in whole or in part of authorized but
unissued shares or treasury shares.

       (b)    PER-PARTICIPANT LIMIT. Subject to adjustment under Section 8, for
Awards granted after the Common Stock is registered under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), the maximum number of shares of
Common Stock with respect to which Awards may be granted to any Participant
under the Plan shall be 500,000 per calendar year. The per-Participant limit
described in this Section 4(b) shall be construed and applied consistently with
Section 162(m) of the Code ("Section 162(m)").

5.     STOCK OPTIONS

       (a)    GENERAL. The Board may grant options to purchase Common Stock
(each, an "Option") and determine the number of shares of Common Stock to be
covered by each Option, the exercise price of each Option and the conditions and
limitations applicable to the exercise of each Option, including conditions
relating to applicable federal or state securities laws, as it considers
necessary or advisable. An Option which is not intended to be an Incentive Stock
Option (as hereinafter defined) shall be designated a "Nonstatutory Stock
Option".

       (b)    INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS. An Option that the Board intends to be an
"incentive stock option" as defined in Section 422 of the Code (an "Incentive
Stock Option") shall only be granted to employees of the Company and shall be
subject to and shall be construed consistently with the requirements of Section
422 of the Code. The Company shall have no liability to a Participant, or any
other party, if an Option (or any part thereof) which is intended to be an
Incentive Stock Option is not an Incentive Stock Option.

       (c)    EXERCISE PRICE. The Board shall establish the exercise price at
the time each Option is granted and specify it in the applicable option
agreement, provided, however, that the exercise price shall not be less than
100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock, as determined by the Board,
at the time the Option is granted.

       (d)    DURATION OF OPTIONS. Each Option shall be exercisable at such
times and subject to such terms and conditions as the Board may specify in the
applicable option agreement, provided however, that no Option will be granted
for a term in excess of ten years.

                                       -2-

       (e)    EXERCISE OF OPTION. Options may be exercised by delivery to the
Company of a written notice of exercise signed by the proper person or by any
other form of notice (including electronic notice) approved by the Board
together with payment in full as specified in Section 5(f) for the number of
shares for which the Option is exercised.

       (f)    PAYMENT UPON EXERCISE. Common Stock purchased upon the exercise of
an Option granted under the Plan shall be paid for as follows:

              (1)   in cash or by check, payable to the order of the Company;

              (2)   except as the Board may, in its sole discretion, otherwise
provide in an option agreement, by (i) delivery of an irrevocable and
unconditional undertaking by a creditworthy broker to deliver promptly to the
Company sufficient funds to pay the exercise price or (ii) delivery by the
Participant to the Company of a copy of irrevocable and unconditional
instructions to a creditworthy broker to deliver promptly to the Company cash or
a check sufficient to pay the exercise price;

              (3)   when the Common Stock is registered under the Exchange Act,
by delivery of shares of Common Stock owned by the Participant valued at their
fair market value as determined by (or in a manner approved by) the Board in
good faith ("Fair Market Value"), provided (i) such method of payment is then
permitted under applicable law and (ii) such Common Stock was owned by the
Participant at least six months prior to such delivery;

              (4)   to the extent permitted by the Board, in its sole discretion
by (i) delivery of a promissory note of the Participant to the Company on terms
determined by the Board, or (ii) payment of such other lawful consideration as
the Board may determine; or

              (5)   by any combination of the above permitted forms of payment.

       (g)    SUBSTITUTE OPTIONS. In connection with a merger or consolidation
of an entity with the Company or the acquisition by the Company of property or
stock of an entity, the Board may grant Options in substitution for any options
or other stock or stock-based awards granted by such entity or an affiliate
thereof. Substitute Options may be granted on such terms as the Board deems
appropriate in the circumstances, notwithstanding any limitations on Options
contained in the other sections of this Section 5.

6.     RESTRICTED STOCK

       (a)    GRANTS. The Board may grant Awards entitling recipients to acquire
shares of Common Stock, subject to the right of the Company to repurchase all or
part of such shares at their issue price or other stated or formula price (or to
require forfeiture of such shares if issued at no cost) from the recipient in
the event that conditions specified by the Board in the applicable Award are not
satisfied prior to the end of the applicable restriction period or periods
established by the Board for such Award (each, a "Restricted Stock Award").

                                       -3-

       (b)    TERMS AND CONDITIONS. The Board shall determine the terms and
conditions of any such Restricted Stock Award, including the conditions for
repurchase (or forfeiture) and the issue price, if any. Any stock certificates
issued in respect of a Restricted Stock Award shall be registered in the name of
the Participant and, unless otherwise determined by the Board, deposited by the
Participant, together with a stock power endorsed in blank, with the Company (or
its designee). At the expiration of the applicable restriction periods, the
Company (or such designee) shall deliver the certificates no longer subject to
such restrictions to the Participant or if the Participant has died, to the
beneficiary designated, in a manner determined by the Board, by a Participant to
receive amounts due or exercise rights of the Participant in the event of the
Participant's death (the "Designated Beneficiary"). In the absence of an
effective designation by a Participant, Designated Beneficiary shall mean the
Participant's estate.

7.     OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARDS

       The Board shall have the right to grant other Awards based upon the
Common Stock having such terms and conditions as the Board may determine,
including the grant of shares based upon certain conditions, the grant of
securities convertible into Common Stock and the grant of stock appreciation
rights.

8.     ADJUSTMENTS FOR CHANGES IN COMMON STOCK AND CERTAIN OTHER EVENTS

       (a)    CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION. In the event of any stock split,
reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares,
reclassification of shares, spin-off or other similar change in capitalization
or event, or any distribution to holders of Common Stock other than a normal
cash dividend, (i) the number and class of securities available under this Plan,
(ii) the per-Participant limit set forth in Section 4(b), (iii) the number and
class of securities and exercise price per share subject to each outstanding
Option, (iv) the repurchase price per share subject to each outstanding
Restricted Stock Award, and (v) the terms of each other outstanding Award shall
be appropriately adjusted by the Company (or substituted Awards may be made, if
applicable) to the extent the Board shall determine, in good faith, that such an
adjustment (or substitution) is necessary and appropriate. If this Section 8(a)
applies and Section 8(c) also applies to any event, Section 8(c) shall be
applicable to such event, and this Section 8(a) shall not be applicable.

       (b)    LIQUIDATION OR DISSOLUTION. In the event of a proposed liquidation
or dissolution of the Company, the Board shall upon written notice to the
Participants provide that all then unexercised Options will (i) become
exercisable in full as of a specified time at least 10 business days prior to
the effective date of such liquidation or dissolution and (ii) terminate
effective upon such liquidation or dissolution, except to the extent exercised
before such effective date. The Board may specify the effect of a liquidation or
dissolution on any Restricted Stock Award or other Award granted under the Plan
at the time of the grant of such Award.

                                Common Stock is converted into or exchanged for
                                the right to receive cash, securities or other

                    (a)  ACQUISITION EVENT. Upon the occurrence of an
                         Acquisition Event (regardless of whether such event
                         also constitutes a Change in Control Event), or the
                         execution by the Company of any agreement with respect
                         to an Acquisition Event (regardless of whether such
                         event will result in a Change in Control Event), the
                         Board shall provide that all outstanding Options shall
                         be assumed, or equivalent options shall be substituted,
                         by the acquiring or succeeding corporation (or an
                         affiliate thereof); PROVIDED THAT if such Acquisition
                         Event also constitutes a Change in Control Event,
                         except to the extent specifically provided to the
                         contrary in the instrument evidencing any Option or any
                         other agreement between a Participant and the Company,
                         such assumed or substituted options shall be
                         immediately exercisable in full upon the occurrence of
                         such Acquisition Event. For purposes hereof, an Option
                         shall be considered to be assumed if, following
                         consummation of the Acquisition Event, the Option
                         confers the right to purchase, for each share of Common
                         Stock subject to the Option immediately prior to the
                         consummation of the Acquisition Event, the
                         consideration (whether cash, securities or other
                         property) received as a result of the Acquisition Event
                         by holders of Common Stock for each share of Common
                         Stock held immediately prior to the consummation of the
                         Acquisition Event (and if holders were offered a choice
                         of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by
                         the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of
                         Common Stock); provided, however, that if the
                         consideration received as a result of the Acquisition
                         Event is not solely common stock of the acquiring or
                         succeeding corporation (or an affiliate thereof), the
                         Company may, with the consent of the acquiring or
                         succeeding corporation, provide for the consideration
                         to be received upon the exercise of Options to consist
                         solely of common stock of the acquiring or succeeding
                         corporation (or an affiliate thereof) equivalent in
                         fair market value

                                       -7-
<Page>

                         to the per share consideration received by holders of
                         outstanding shares of Common Stock as a result of the
                         Acquisition Event.

                                Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the acquiring
                         or succeeding corporation (or an affiliate thereof)
                         does not agree to assume, or substitute for, such
                         Options, then the Board shall, upon written notice to
                         the Participants, provide that all then unexercised
                         Options will become exercisable in full as of a
                         specified time prior to the Acquisition Event and will
                         terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such
                         Acquisition Event, except to the extent exercised by
                         the Participants before the consummation of such
                         Acquisition Event; provided, however, in the event of
                         an Acquisition Event under the terms of which holders
                         of Common Stock will receive upon consummation thereof
                         a cash payment for each share of Common Stock
                         surrendered pursuant to such Acquisition Event (the
                         "Acquisition Price"), then the Board may instead
                         provide that all outstanding Options shall terminate
                         upon consummation of such Acquisition Event and that
                         each Participant shall receive, in exchange therefor, a
                         cash payment equal to the amount (if any) by which (A)
                         the Acquisition Price multiplied by the number of
                         shares of Common Stock subject to such outstanding
                         Options (whether or not then exercisable), exceeds (B)
                         the aggregate exercise price of such Options.

                    (b)  CHANGE IN CONTROL EVENT THAT IS NOT AN ACQUISITION
                         EVENT. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control Event
                         that does not also constitute an Acquisition Event,
                         except to the extent specifically provided to the
                         contrary in the instrument evidencing any Option or any
                         other agreement between a Participant and the Company,
                         all Options then-outstanding shall automatically become
                         immediately exercisable in full.

              (3)   EFFECT ON RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS

                    (a)  ACQUISITION EVENT THAT IS NOT A CHANGE IN CONTROL
                         EVENT. Upon the occurrence of an Acquisition Event that
                         is not a Change in Control Event, the repurchase and
                         other rights of the Company under each outstanding
                         Restricted Stock Award shall inure to the benefit of
                         the Company's successor and shall apply to the cash,
                         securities or other property which the Common Stock was
                         converted into or exchanged for pursuant to such
                         Acquisition Event in the same manner and to the same
                         extent as they applied to the Common Stock subject to
                         such Restricted Stock Award.

                                       -8-
<Page>

                    (b)  CHANGE IN CONTROL EVENT. Upon the occurrence of a
                         Change in Control Event (regardless of whether such
                         event also constitutes an Acquisition Event), except to
                         the extent specifically provided to the contrary in the
                         instrument evidencing any Restricted Stock Award or any
                         other agreement between a Participant and the Company,
                         all restrictions and conditions on all Restricted Stock
                         Awards then-outstanding shall automatically be deemed
                         terminated or satisfied.

             (4)    EFFECT ON OTHER AWARDS

                    (a)  ACQUISITION EVENT THAT IS NOT A CHANGE IN CONTROL
                         EVENT. The Board shall specify the effect of an
                         Acquisition Event that is not a Change in Control Event
                         on any other Award granted under the Plan at the time
                         of the grant of such Award.

                    (b)  CHANGE IN CONTROL EVENT. Upon the occurrence of a
                         Change in Control Event (regardless of whether such
                         event also constitutes an Acquisition Event), except to
                         the extent specifically provided to the contrary in the
                         instrument evidencing any other Award or any other
                         agreement between a Participant and the Company, all
                         other Awards shall become exercisable, realizable or
                         vested in full, or shall be free of all conditions or
                         restrictions, as applicable to each such Award.

              (5)   LIMITATIONS. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
                    this Section 8(c), if the Change in Control Event is
                    intended to be accounted for as a "pooling of interests" for
                    financial accounting purposes, and if the acceleration to be
                    effected by the foregoing provisions of this Section 8(c)
                    would preclude accounting for the Change in Control Event as
                    a "pooling of interests" for financial accounting purposes,
                    then no such acceleration shall occur upon the Change in
                    Control Event.

9.     GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO AWARDS

       (a)    TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARDS. Except as the Board may otherwise
determine or provide in an Award, Awards shall not be sold, assigned,
transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered by the person to whom they are
granted, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or the laws
of descent and distribution, and, during the life of the Participant, shall be
exercisable only by the Participant. References to a Participant, to the extent
relevant in the context, shall include references to authorized transferees.

                                       -9-
<Page>

       (b)    DOCUMENTATION. Each Award shall be evidenced by a written
instrument in such form as the Board shall determine. Each Award may contain
terms and conditions in addition to those set forth in the Plan.

       (c)    BOARD DISCRETION. Except as otherwise provided by the Plan, each
Award may be made alone or in addition or in relation to any other Award. The
terms of each Award need not be identical, and the Board need not treat
Participants uniformly.

       (d)    TERMINATION OF STATUS. The Board shall determine the effect on an
Award of the disability, death, retirement, authorized leave of absence or other
change in the employment or other status of a Participant and the extent to
which, and the period during which, the Participant, the Participant's legal
representative, conservator, guardian or Designated Beneficiary may exercise
rights under the Award.

       (e)    WITHHOLDING. Each Participant shall pay to the Company, or make
provision satisfactory to the Board for payment of, any taxes required by law to
be withheld in connection with Awards to such Participant no later than the date
of the event creating the tax liability. Except as the Board may otherwise
provide in an Award, when the Common Stock is registered under the Exchange Act,
Participants may, to the extent then permitted under applicable law, satisfy
such tax obligations in whole or in part by delivery of shares of Common Stock,
including shares retained from the Award creating the tax obligation, valued at
their Fair Market Value. The Company may, to the extent permitted by law, deduct
any such tax obligations from any payment of any kind otherwise due to a
Participant.

       (f)    AMENDMENT OF AWARD. The Board may amend, modify or terminate any
outstanding Award, including but not limited to, substituting therefor another
Award of the same or a different type, changing the date of exercise or
realization, and converting an Incentive Stock Option to a Nonstatutory Stock
Option, provided that the Participant's consent to such action shall be required
unless the Board determines that the action, taking into account any related
action, would not materially and adversely affect the Participant.

       (g)    CONDITIONS ON DELIVERY OF STOCK. The Company will not be obligated
to deliver any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Plan or to remove
restrictions from shares previously delivered under the Plan until (i) all
conditions of the Award have been met or removed to the satisfaction of the
Company, (ii) in the opinion of the Company's counsel, all other legal matters
in connection with the issuance and delivery of such shares have been satisfied,
including any applicable securities laws and any applicable stock exchange or
stock market rules and regulations, and (iii) the Participant has executed and
delivered to the Company such representations or agreements as the Company may
consider appropriate to satisfy the requirements of any applicable laws, rules
or regulations.

       (h)    ACCELERATION. The Board may at any time provide that any Options
shall become immediately exercisable in full or in part, that any Restricted
Stock Awards shall be free of restrictions in full or in part or that any other
Awards may become exercisable in full or in part or

                                      -10-
<Page>

free of some or all restrictions or conditions, or otherwise realizable in full
or in part, as the case may be.

10.    MISCELLANEOUS

       (a)    NO RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT OR OTHER STATUS. No person shall have any
claim or right to be granted an Award, and the grant of an Award shall not be
construed as giving a Participant the right to continued employment or any other
relationship with the Company. The Company expressly reserves the right at any
time to dismiss or otherwise terminate its relationship with a Participant free
from any liability or claim under the Plan, except as expressly provided in the
applicable Award.

       (b)    NO RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER. Subject to the provisions of the
applicable Award, no Participant or Designated Beneficiary shall have any rights
as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock to be distributed
with respect to an Award until becoming the record holder of such shares.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Company effects a split of the
Common Stock by means of a stock dividend and the exercise price of and the
number of shares subject to such Option are adjusted as of the date of the
distribution of the dividend (rather than as of the record date for such
dividend), then an optionee who exercises an Option between the record date and
the distribution date for such stock dividend shall be entitled to receive, on
the distribution date, the stock dividend with respect to the shares of Common
Stock acquired upon such Option exercise, notwithstanding the fact that such
shares were not outstanding as of the close of business on the record date for
such stock dividend.

       (c)    EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF PLAN. The Plan shall become effective
on the date on which it is adopted by the Board, but no Award granted to a
Participant that is intended to comply with Section 162(m) shall become
exercisable, vested or realizable, as applicable to such Award, unless and until
the Plan has been approved by the Company's stockholders to the extent
stockholder approval is required by Section 162(m) in the manner required under
Section 162(m) (including the vote required under Section 162(m)). No Awards
shall be granted under the Plan after the completion of ten years from the
earlier of (i) the date on which the Plan was adopted by the Board or (ii) the
date the Plan was approved by the Company's stockholders, but Awards previously
granted may extend beyond that date.

       (d)    AMENDMENT OF PLAN. The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the
Plan or any portion thereof at any time, provided that to the extent required by
Section 162(m), no Award granted to a Participant that is intended to comply
with Section 162(m) after the date of such amendment shall become exercisable,
realizable or vested, as applicable to such Award, unless and until such
amendment shall have been approved by the Company's stockholders as required by
Section 162(m) (including the vote required under Section 162(m)).

                                      -11-

       (e)    GOVERNING LAW. The provisions of the Plan and all Awards made
hereunder shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of
the State of Delaware, without regard to any applicable conflicts of law.

forfeited in whole or in part or results in any Common Stock not being issued,

or other amounts payable under such leases) and has failed to pay under any
Section of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) allowances for price
protection, returns and discounts, (iii) accrued royalty payments owed to
licensors, (iv) allowances for litigation expenses of the Companies, and (v)
amounts owing by Companies to any Person to the extent secured by a Lien on, or
trust over, any of the Collateral (other than any existing

                                      -31-
<Page>

Permitted Lien set forth on SCHEDULE P-1 which is specifically identified
thereon as entitled to have priority over the Agent's Liens), which Lien or
trust, in the Permitted Discretion of Agent likely would have a priority
superior to the Agent's Liens (such as Liens or trusts in favor of landlords,
warehousemen, carriers, mechanics, materialmen, laborers, or suppliers, or Liens
or trusts for AD VALOREM, excise, sales, or other taxes where given priority
under applicable law) in and to such item of the Collateral.

               (c)  The Lenders with Revolver Commitments shall have no
obligation to make additional Advances hereunder to the extent such additional
Advances would cause the Revolver Usage to exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount.

               (d)  Amounts borrowed pursuant to this SECTION 2.1 may be repaid
and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, reborrowed at any
time during the term of this Agreement.

     2.2.      TERM LOAN.

               Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the
Closing Date each Lender with a Term Loan Commitment agrees (severally, not
jointly or jointly and severally) to make term loans (collectively, the "TERM
LOAN") to Borrowers in an amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the
Term Loan Amount. The Term Loan shall be repaid in 54 equal consecutive monthly
installments each in the amount of $277,777.78, on the first day of each
calendar month commencing August 1, 2004 and ending on February 1, 2009, with a
final installment on the Maturity Date of the then unpaid balance of the Term
Loan. Borrowers shall also make mandatory prepayments of principal of the Term
Loan (to be applied to the remaining installments in the inverse order of their
maturities) such that the sum of the outstanding principal balance of the Term
Loan shall not exceed 25% of the Midway Enterprise Value. In addition to the
foregoing, Borrowers may make optional prepayments of the Term Loan (to be
applied to the remaining installments in the inverse order of their maturities).
The outstanding unpaid principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest
under the Term Loan shall be due and payable on the date of termination of this
Agreement, whether by its terms, by prepayment, or by acceleration. All amounts
outstanding under the Term Loan shall constitute Obligations.

     2.3.      BORROWING PROCEDURES AND SETTLEMENTS.

               (a)  PROCEDURE FOR BORROWING. Each Borrowing shall be made by an
irrevocable written request by an Authorized Person delivered to Agent (which
notice must be received by Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (California time) on
the Business Day prior to the date that is the requested Funding Date specifying
(i) the amount of such Borrowing, and (ii) the requested Funding Date, which
shall be a Business Day; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the case of a request for
Swing Loan in an amount of $3,000,000, or less, such notice will be timely
received if it is received by Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (California time)
on the Business Day that is the requested Funding Date). At Agent's election, in
lieu of delivering the above-described written request, any Authorized Person
may give Agent telephonic notice of such request by the required time. In such
circumstances, Borrowers agree that any such

                                      -32-
<Page>

telephonic notice will be confirmed in writing within 24 hours of the giving of
such notice and the failure to provide such written confirmation shall not
affect the validity of the request.

               (b)  AGENT'S ELECTION. Promptly after receipt of a request for a
Borrowing pursuant to SECTION 2.3(a), Agent shall elect, in its discretion, (i)
to have the terms of SECTION 2.3(c) apply to such requested Borrowing, or (ii)
if the Borrowing is for an Advance, to request Swing Lender to make a Swing Loan
pursuant to the terms of SECTION 2.3(e) in the amount of the requested
Borrowing; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if Swing Lender declines in its sole
discretion to make a Swing Loan pursuant to SECTION 2.3(d), Agent shall elect to
have the terms of SECTION 2.3(c) apply to such requested Borrowing.

               (c)  MAKING OF LOANS.

                    (i)    In the event that Agent shall elect to have the terms
     of this SECTION 2.3(c) apply to a requested Borrowing as described in
     SECTION 2.3(b), then promptly after receipt of a request for a Borrowing
     pursuant to SECTION 2.3(a), Agent shall notify the Lenders, not later than
     1:00 p.m. (California time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the
     Funding Date applicable thereto, by telecopy, telephone, or other similar
     form of transmission, of the requested Borrowing. Each Lender shall make
     the amount of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing
     available to Agent in immediately available funds, to Agent's Account, not
     later than 10:00 a.m. (California time) on the Funding Date applicable
     thereto. After Agent's receipt of the proceeds of such Advances (or the
     Term Loan, as applicable), Agent shall make the proceeds thereof available
     to Administrative Borrower on the applicable Funding Date by transferring
     immediately available funds equal to such proceeds received by Agent to
     Administrative Borrower's Designated Account; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that,
     subject to the provisions of SECTION 2.3(i), Agent shall not request any
     Lender to make, and no Lender shall have the obligation to make, any
     Advance (or its portion of the Term Loan) if Agent shall have actual
     knowledge that (1) one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set
     forth in SECTION 3 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for
     the applicable Borrowing unless such condition has been waived, or (2) the
     requested Borrowing would exceed the Availability on such Funding Date.

                    (ii)   Unless Agent receives notice from a Lender on or
     prior to the Closing Date or, with respect to any Borrowing after the
     Closing Date, prior to 9:00 a.m. (California time) on the date of such
     Borrowing, that such Lender will not make available as and when required
     hereunder to Agent for the account of Borrowers the amount of that Lender's
     Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing, Agent may assume that each Lender has made
     or will make such amount available to Agent in immediately available funds
     on the Funding Date and Agent may (but shall not be so required), in
     reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrowers on such date a
     corresponding amount. If and to the extent any Lender shall not have made
     its full amount available to Agent in immediately available funds and Agent
     in such circumstances has made available to Borrowers such amount, that
     Lender shall on the Business Day following such Funding Date make such
     amount available to Agent,

                                      -33-
<Page>

     together with interest at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day during
     such period. A notice submitted by Agent to any Lender with respect to
     amounts owing under this subsection shall be conclusive, absent manifest
     error. If such amount is so made available, such payment to Agent shall
     constitute such Lender's Advance (or portion of the Term Loan, as
     applicable) on the date of Borrowing for all purposes of this Agreement. If
     such amount is not made available to Agent on the Business Day following
     the Funding Date, Agent will notify Administrative Borrower of such failure
     to fund and, upon demand by Agent, Borrowers shall pay such amount to Agent
     for Agent's account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed
     since the date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the interest
     rate applicable at the time to the Advances (or portion of the Term Loan,
     as applicable) composing such Borrowing. The failure of any Lender to make
     any Advance (or portion of the Term Loan, as applicable) on any Funding
     Date shall not relieve any other Lender of any obligation hereunder to make
     an Advance (or portion of the Term Loan, as applicable) on such Funding
     Date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other
     Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other Lender on any Funding
     Date.

                    (iii)  Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a
     Defaulting Lender any payments made by Borrowers to Agent for the
     Defaulting Lender's benefit, and, in the absence of such transfer to the
     Defaulting Lender, Agent shall transfer any such payments to each other
     non-Defaulting Lender member of the Lender Group ratably in accordance with
     their Commitments (but only to the extent that such Defaulting Lender's
     Advance was funded by the other members of the Lender Group) or, if so
     directed by Administrative Borrower and if no Default or Event of Default
     had occurred and is continuing (and to the extent such Defaulting Lender's
     Advance was not funded by the Lender Group), retain same to be re-advanced
     to Borrowers as if such Defaulting Lender had made Advances to Borrowers.
     Subject to the foregoing, Agent may hold and, in its Permitted Discretion,
     re-lend to Borrowers for the account of such Defaulting Lender the amount
     of all such payments received and retained by Agent for the account of such
     Defaulting Lender. Solely for the purposes of voting or consenting to
     matters with respect to the Loan Documents, such Defaulting Lender shall be
     deemed not to be a "Lender" and such Lender's Commitment shall be deemed to
     be zero. This Section shall remain effective with respect to such Lender
     until (x) the Obligations under this Agreement shall have been declared or
     shall have become immediately due and payable, (y) the non-Defaulting
     Lenders, Agent, and Administrative Borrower shall have waived such
     Defaulting Lender's default in writing, or (z) the Defaulting Lender makes
     its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Advance and pays to Agent all amounts
     owing by Defaulting Lender in respect thereof. The operation of this
     Section shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the
     Commitment of any Lender, to relieve or excuse the performance by such
     Defaulting Lender or any other Lender of its duties and obligations
     hereunder, or to relieve or excuse the performance by Borrowers of their
     duties and obligations hereunder to Agent or to the Lenders other than such
     Defaulting Lender. Any such failure to fund by any Defaulting Lender shall
     constitute a material breach by such

                                      -34-
<Page>

     Defaulting Lender of this Agreement and shall entitle Administrative
     Borrower at its option, upon written notice to Agent, to arrange for a
     substitute Lender to assume the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, such
     substitute Lender to be acceptable to Agent. In connection with the
     arrangement of such a substitute Lender, the Defaulting Lender shall have
     no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder, and agrees to execute and
     deliver a completed form of Assignment and Acceptance in favor of the
     substitute Lender (and agrees that it shall be deemed to have executed and
     delivered such document if it fails to do so) subject only to being repaid
     its share of the outstanding Obligations (other than Bank Product
     Obligations, but including an assumption of its Pro Rata Share of the Risk
     Participation Liability) without any premium or penalty of any kind
     whatsoever; PROVIDED HOWEVER, that any such assumption of the Commitment of
     such Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any of
     the Lender Groups' or Borrowers' rights or remedies against any such
     Defaulting Lender arising out of or in relation to such failure to fund.

               (d)  MAKING OF SWING LOANS.

                    (i)    In the event Agent shall elect, with the consent of
     Swing Lender, as a Lender, to have the terms of this SECTION 2.3(d) apply
     to a requested Borrowing as described in SECTION 2.3(b), Swing Lender as a
     Lender shall make such Advance in the amount of such Borrowing (any such
     Advance made solely by Swing Lender as a Lender pursuant to this SECTION
     2.3(d) being referred to as a "SWING LOAN" and such Advances being referred
     to collectively as "SWING LOANS") available to Borrowers on the Funding
     Date applicable thereto by transferring immediately available funds to
     Administrative Borrower's Designated Account. Each Swing Loan shall be
     deemed to be an Advance hereunder and shall be subject to all the terms and
     conditions applicable to other Advances, except that no such Swing Loan
     shall be eligible to be a LIBOR Rate Loan and all payments on any Swing
     Loan shall be payable to Swing Lender as a Lender solely for its own
     account (and for the account of the holder of any participation interest
     with respect to such Swing Loan). Subject to the provisions of SECTION
     2.3(i), Agent shall not request Swing Lender as a Lender to make, and Swing
     Lender as a Lender shall not make, any Swing Loan if Agent has actual
     knowledge that (i) one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set
     forth in SECTION 3 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for
     the applicable Borrowing unless such condition has been waived, or (ii) the
     requested Borrowing would exceed the Availability on such Funding Date.
     Swing Lender as a Lender shall not otherwise be required to determine
     whether the applicable conditions precedent set forth in SECTION 3 have
     been satisfied on the Funding Date applicable thereto prior to making, in
     its sole discretion, any Swing Loan.

                    (ii)   The Swing Loans shall be secured by the Agent's
     Liens, constitute Obligations hereunder, and bear interest at the rate
     applicable from time to time to Advances that are Base Rate Loans.

                                      -35-

               (e)  AGENT ADVANCES.

                    (i)    Agent hereby is authorized by Borrowers and the
     Lenders, from time to time in Agent's sole discretion, (1) after the
     occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default,
     or (2) at any time that any of the other applicable conditions precedent
     set forth in SECTION 3 have not been satisfied, to make Advances to
     Borrowers on behalf of the Lenders that Agent, in its Permitted Discretion
     deems necessary or desirable (A) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or
     any portion thereof, (B) to enhance the likelihood of repayment of the
     Obligations (other than the Bank Product Obligations), or (C) to pay any
     other amount chargeable to Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this
     Agreement, including Lender Group Expenses and the costs, fees, and
     expenses described in SECTION 10 (any of the Advances described in this
     SECTION 2.3(e) shall be referred to as "AGENT ADVANCES"). Each Agent
     Advance shall be deemed to be an Advance hereunder, except that no such
     Agent Advance shall be eligible to be a LIBOR Rate Loan and all payments
     thereon shall be payable to Agent solely for its own account.

                    (ii)   The Agent Advances shall be repayable on demand,
     secured by the Agent's Liens granted to Agent under the Loan Documents,
     constitute Obligations hereunder, and bear interest at the rate applicable
     from time to time to Advances that are Base Rate Loans.

               (f)  SETTLEMENT. It is agreed that each Lender's funded portion
of the Advances is intended by the Lenders to equal, at all times, such Lender's
Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Advances. Such agreement notwithstanding,
Agent, Swing Lender, and the other Lenders agree (which agreement shall not be
for the benefit of or enforceable by Borrowers) that in order to facilitate the
administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, settlement among
them as to the Advances, the Swing Loans, and the Agent Advances shall take
place on a periodic basis in accordance with the following provisions:

                    (i)    Agent shall request settlement ("SETTLEMENT") with
     the Lenders on a weekly basis, or on a more frequent basis if so determined
     by Agent, (1) on behalf of Swing Lender, with respect to each outstanding
     Swing Loan, (2) for itself, with respect to each Agent Advance, and (3)
     with respect to Companies' Collections received, as to each by notifying
     the Lenders by telecopy, telephone, or other similar form of transmission,
     of such requested Settlement, no later than 2:00 p.m. (California time) on
     the Business Day immediately prior to the date of such requested Settlement
     (the date of such requested Settlement being the "SETTLEMENT DATE"). Such
     notice of a Settlement Date shall include a summary statement of the amount
     of outstanding Advances, Swing Loans, and Agent Advances for the period
     since the prior Settlement Date. Subject to the terms and conditions
     contained herein (including SECTION 2.3(c)(iii)): (y) if a Lender's balance
     of the Advances (including Swing Loans and Agent Advances) exceeds such
     Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Advances (including Swing Loans and Agent
     Advances) as of a Settlement Date, then Agent shall, by no later than 12:00
     p.m. (California time) on the Settlement Date, transfer in immediately
     available funds to a Deposit Account of such Lender (as such Lender

                                      -36-
<Page>

     may designate), an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon receipt of
     such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the
     Advances (including Swing Loans and Agent Advances), and (z) if a Lender's
     balance of the Advances (including Swing Loans and Agent Advances) is less
     than such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Advances (including Swing Loans
     and Agent Advances) as of a Settlement Date, such Lender shall no later
     than 12:00 p.m. (California time) on the Settlement Date transfer in
     immediately available funds to the Agent's Account, an amount such that
     each such Lender shall, upon transfer of such amount, have as of the
     Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Advances (including Swing Loans
     and Agent Advances). Such amounts made available to Agent under clause (z)
     of the immediately preceding sentence shall be applied against the amounts
     of the applicable Swing Loans or Agent Advances and, together with the
     portion of such Swing Loans or Agent Advances representing Swing Lender's
     Pro Rata Share thereof, shall constitute Advances of such Lenders. If any
     such amount is not made available to Agent by any Lender on the Settlement
     Date applicable thereto to the extent required by the terms hereof, Agent
     shall be entitled to recover for its account such amount on demand from
     such Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate.

                    (ii)   In determining whether a Lender's balance of the
     Advances, Swing Loans, and Agent Advances is less than, equal to, or
     greater than such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Advances, Swing Loans, and
     Agent Advances as of a Settlement Date, Agent shall, as part of the
     relevant Settlement, apply to such balance the portion of payments actually
     received in good funds by Agent with respect to principal, interest, fees
     payable by Borrowers and allocable to the Lenders hereunder, and proceeds
     of Collateral. To the extent that a net amount is owed to any such Lender
     after such application, such net amount shall be distributed by Agent to
     that Lender as part of such next Settlement.

                    (iii)  Between Settlement Dates, Agent, to the extent no
     Agent Advances or Swing Loans are outstanding, may pay over to Swing Lender
     any payments received by Agent, that in accordance with the terms of this
     Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the Advances, for
     application to Swing Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Advances. If, as of any
     Settlement Date, Collections of Companies received since the then
     immediately preceding Settlement Date have been applied to Swing Lender's
     Pro Rata Share of the Advances other than to Swing Loans, as provided for
     in the previous sentence, Swing Lender shall pay to Agent for the accounts
     of the Lenders, and Agent shall pay to the Lenders, to be applied to the
     outstanding Advances of such Lenders, an amount such that each Lender
     shall, upon receipt of such amount, have, as of such Settlement Date, its
     Pro Rata Share of the Advances. During the period between Settlement Dates,
     Swing Lender with respect to Swing Loans, Agent with respect to Agent
     Advances, and each Lender (subject to the effect of letter agreements
     between Agent and individual Lenders) with respect to the Advances other
     than Swing Loans and Agent Advances, shall be entitled to

                                      -37-
<Page>

     interest at the applicable rate or rates payable under this Agreement on
     the daily amount of funds employed by Swing Lender, Agent, or the Lenders,
     as applicable.

               (g)  NOTATION. Agent shall record on its books the principal
amount of the Advances (or portion of the Term Loan, as applicable) owing to
each Lender, including the Swing Loans owing to Swing Lender, and Agent Advances
owing to Agent, and the interests therein of each Lender, from time to time and
such records shall, absent manifest error, conclusively be presumed to be
correct and accurate. In addition, each Lender is authorized, at such Lender's
option, to note the date and amount of each payment or prepayment of principal
of such Lender's Advances in its books and records, including computer records.

               (h)  LENDERS' FAILURE TO PERFORM. All Advances (other than Swing
Loans and Agent Advances) shall be made by the Lenders contemporaneously and in
accordance with their Pro Rata Shares. It is understood that (i) no Lender shall
be responsible for any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to
make any Advance (or other extension of credit) hereunder, nor shall any
Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of any failure by
any other Lender to perform its obligations hereunder, and (ii) no failure by
any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder shall excuse any other Lender
from its obligations hereunder.

               (i)  OPTIONAL OVERADVANCES. Any contrary provision of this
Agreement notwithstanding, the Lenders hereby authorize Agent or Swing Lender,
as applicable, and Agent or Swing Lender, as applicable, may, but is not
obligated to, knowingly and intentionally, continue to make Advances (including
Swing Loans) to Borrowers notwithstanding that an Overadvance exists or thereby
would be created, so long as (i) after giving effect to such Advances, the
outstanding Revolver Usage does not exceed the Borrowing Base by more than the
lesser of 10% of the Borrowing Base or $1,500,000, (ii) after giving effect to
such Advances, the outstanding Revolver Usage (except for and excluding amounts
charged to the Loan Account for interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses) does
not exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount, and (iii) at the time of the making of
any such Advance, Agent does not believe, in good faith, that the Overadvance
created by such Advance will be outstanding for more than 90 days. The foregoing
provisions are for the exclusive benefit of Agent, Swing Lender, and the Lenders
and are not intended to benefit Companies in any way. The Advances and Swing
Loans, as applicable, that are made pursuant to this SECTION 2.3(i) shall be
subject to the same terms and conditions as any other Advance or Swing Loan, as
applicable, except that they shall not be eligible for the LIBOR Option and the
rate of interest applicable thereto shall be the rate applicable to Advances
that are Base Rate Loans under SECTION 2.6(c) hereof without regard to the
presence or absence of a Default or Event of Default.

                           (A)  In the event Agent obtains actual knowledge that
               the Revolver Usage exceeds the amounts permitted by the preceding
               paragraph, regardless of the amount of, or reason for, such
               excess, Agent shall notify the Lenders as soon as practicable
               (and prior to making any (or any additional) intentional
               Overadvances (except for and excluding amounts charged to the
               Loan Account for interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses) unless
               Agent

                                      -38-
<Page>

               determines that prior notice would result in imminent harm to the
               Collateral or its value), and the Lenders with Revolver
               Commitments thereupon shall, together with Agent, jointly
               determine the terms of arrangements that shall be implemented
               with Borrowers intended to reduce, within a reasonable time, the
               outstanding principal amount of the Advances to Borrowers to an
               amount permitted by the preceding paragraph. In the event Agent
               or any Lender disagrees over the terms of reduction or repayment
               of any Overadvance, the terms of reduction or repayment thereof
               shall be implemented according to the determination of the
               Required Lenders.

                           (B)  Each Lender with a Revolver Commitment shall be
               obligated to settle with Agent as provided in SECTION 2.3(f) for
               the amount of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of any unintentional
               Overadvances by Agent reported to such Lender, any intentional
               Overadvances made as permitted under this SECTION 2.3(i), and any
               Overadvances resulting from the charging to the Loan Account of
               interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses.

     2.4.      PAYMENTS.

               (a)  PAYMENTS BY BORROWERS.

                    (i)    Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all
     payments by Borrowers shall be made to Agent's Account for the account of
     the Lender Group and shall be made in immediately available funds, no later
     than 11:00 a.m. (California time) on the date specified herein. Any payment
     received by Agent later than 11:00 a.m. (California time), shall be deemed
     to have been received on the following Business Day and any applicable
     interest or fee shall continue to accrue until such following Business Day.

                    (ii)   Unless Agent receives notice from Administrative
     Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders that
     Borrowers will not make such payment in full as and when required, Agent
     may assume that Borrowers have made (or will make) such payment in full to
     Agent on such date in immediately available funds and Agent may (but shall
     not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each
     Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender.
     If and to the extent Borrowers do not make such payment in full to Agent on
     the date when due, each Lender severally shall repay to Agent on demand
     such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon at
     the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day from the date such amount is
     distributed to such Lender until the date repaid.

               (b)  APPORTIONMENT AND APPLICATION.

                    (i)    Except as otherwise provided with respect to
     Defaulting Lenders and except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents
     (including letter agreements between Agent and individual Lenders),
     aggregate principal and interest

                                      -39-
<Page>

     payments shall be apportioned ratably among the Lenders (according to the
     unpaid principal balance of the Obligations to which such payments relate
     held by each Lender) and payments of fees and expenses (other than fees or
     expenses that are for Agent's separate account, after giving effect to any
     letter agreements between Agent and individual Lenders) shall be
     apportioned ratably among the Lenders having a Pro Rata Share of the type
     of Commitment or Obligation to which a particular fee relates. Except as
     provided in SECTION 2.2 of this Agreement with respect to prepayments of
     the Term Loan, payments shall be remitted to Agent and all such payments,
     and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent in accordance with Section
     2.8, shall be applied as follows (such application shall be no later than
     the first Business Day after receipt thereof in accordance with Section
     2.8):

                           (A)  FIRST, to pay any Lender Group Expenses then due
               to Agent under the Loan Documents, until paid in full,

                           (B)  SECOND, to pay any Lender Group Expenses then
               due to the Lenders under the Loan Documents, on a ratable basis,
               until paid in full,

                           (C)  THIRD, to pay any fees then due to Agent (for
               its separate accounts, after giving effect to any letter
               agreements between Agent and the individual Lenders) under the
               Loan Documents until paid in full,

                           (D)  FOURTH, to pay any fees then due to any or all
               of the Lenders (after giving effect to any letter agreements
               between Agent and individual Lenders) under the Loan Documents,
               on a ratable basis, until paid in full,

                           (E)  FIFTH, to pay interest due in respect of all
               Agent Advances, until paid in full,

                           (F)  SIXTH, ratably to pay interest due in respect of
               the Advances (other than Agent Advances), the Swing Loans, and
               the Term Loan until paid in full,

                           (G)  SEVENTH, to pay the principal of all Agent
               Advances until paid in full,

                           (H)  EIGHTH, ratably to pay all principal amounts
               then due and payable (other than as a result of an acceleration
               thereof) with respect to the Term Loan until paid in full,

                           (I)  NINTH, to pay the principal of all Swing Loans
               until paid in full,

                           (J)  TENTH, so long as no Event of Default has
               occurred and is continuing, and at Agent's election (which
               election Agent agrees will not be made if an Overadvance would be
               created thereby), to pay amounts then due

                                      -40-
<Page>

               and owing by Parent or its Subsidiaries in respect of Bank
               Products, until paid in full,

                           (K)  ELEVENTH, so long as no Event of Default has
               occurred and is continuing, to pay the principal of all Advances
               until paid in full,

                           (L)  TWELFTH, if an Event of Default has occurred and
               is continuing, ratably (i) to pay the principal of all Advances
               until paid in full, (ii) to Agent, to be held by Agent, for the
               ratable benefit of Issuing Lender and those Lenders having a
               Revolver Commitment, as cash collateral in an amount up to 105%
               of the then extant Letter of Credit Usage until paid in full, and
               (iii) to Agent, to be held by Agent, for the benefit of the Bank
               Product Providers, as cash collateral in an amount up to the
               amount of the Bank Product Reserve established prior to the
               occurrence of, and not in contemplation of, the subject Event of
               Default until Parent or its Subsidiaries obligations in respect
               of the then extant Bank Products have been paid in full or the
               cash collateral amount has been exhausted,

                           (M)  THIRTEENTH, if an Event of Default has occurred
               and is continuing, to pay the outstanding principal balance of
               the Term Loan (in the inverse order of the maturity of the
               installments due thereunder) until the Term Loan is paid in full,

                           (N)  FOURTEENTH, if an Event of Default has occurred
               and is continuing, to pay any other Obligations (including the
               provision of amounts to Agent, to be held by Agent, for the
               benefit of the Bank Product Providers, as cash collateral in an
               amount up to the amount determined by Agent in its Permitted
               Discretion as the amount necessary to secure Parent or its
               Subsidiaries obligations in respect of the then extant Bank
               Products), and

                           (O)  FIFTEENTH, to Borrowers (to be wired to the
               Investment Account) or such other Person entitled thereto under
               applicable law.

                    (ii)   Agent promptly shall distribute to each Lender,
     pursuant to the applicable wire instructions received from each Lender in
     writing, such funds as it may be entitled to receive, subject to a
     Settlement delay as provided in SECTION 2.3(f).

                    (iii)  In each instance, so long as no Event of Default has
     occurred and is continuing, this SECTION 2.4(b) shall not be deemed to
     apply to any payment by Borrowers specified by Borrowers to be for the
     payment of specific Obligations then due and payable (or prepayable) under
     any provision of this Agreement.

                    (iv)   For purposes of the foregoing, "paid in full" means
     payment of all applicable amounts owing under the Loan Documents, including
     related loan fees, service fees, professional fees, interest (and
     specifically including interest accrued after the commencement of any
     Insolvency Proceeding), default interest, interest on

                                      -41-
<Page>

     interest, and expense reimbursements, whether or not any of the foregoing
     would be or is allowed or disallowed in whole or in part in any Insolvency
     Proceeding.

                    (v)    In the event of a direct conflict between the
     priority provisions of this SECTION 2.4 and other provisions contained in
     any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that
     such priority provisions in such documents shall be read together and
     construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each
     other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be
     resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this SECTION 2.4 shall
     control and govern.

     2.5.      OVERADVANCES; MANDATORY PREPAYMENT.

               (a)  If, at any time or for any reason, the amount of Obligations
(other than Bank Product Obligations) owed by Borrowers to the Lender Group
pursuant to SECTION 2.1 or SECTION 2.12 is greater than either the Dollar or
percentage limitations set forth in SECTION 2.1 or SECTION 2.12, as applicable
(an "OVERADVANCE"), Borrowers immediately shall pay to Agent, in cash, the
amount of such excess, which amount shall be used by Agent to reduce the
Obligations in accordance with the priorities set forth in SECTION 2.4(b). In
addition, Borrowers hereby promise to pay the Obligations (including principal,
interest, fees, costs, and expenses) in Dollars in full as and when due and
payable under the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

               (b)  If on the Business Day prior to a Redemption Date it is
reasonably anticipated that Parent will pay any cash in connection with the
redemption of the Preferred Stock on such Redemption Date, and it is reasonably
anticipated by Agent that after giving effect to such redemption the sum (as
projected by Agent) of Qualified Cash plus Excess Availability will not exceed
$25,000,000, Borrowers will be required to make a mandatory prepayment such that
the Term Loan, Revolving Loan and other Obligations (including the Applicable
Prepayment Premium) are Paid In Full, at which time the Loan Agreement shall be
terminated.

     2.6.      INTEREST RATES AND LETTER OF CREDIT FEE: RATES, PAYMENTS, AND
               CALCULATIONS.

               (a)  INTEREST RATES. Except as provided in clause (c) below, all
Obligations (except for undrawn Letters of Credit and except for Bank Product
Obligations) that have been charged to the Loan Account pursuant to the terms
hereof shall bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof as follows (i) if the
relevant Obligation is an Advance that is a LIBOR Rate Loan, at a per annum rate
equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the LIBOR Rate Margin, (ii) if the relevant
Obligation is a portion of the Term Loan, at a per annum rate equal to the Base
Rate plus the Term Loan Margin, and (iii) otherwise, at a per annum rate equal
to the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin.

               The foregoing notwithstanding, at no time shall any portion of
the Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations) bear interest on the Daily
Balance thereof at a per

                                      -42-
<Page>

annum rate less than 6%. To the extent that interest accrued hereunder at the
rate set forth herein would be less than the foregoing minimum daily rate, the
interest rate chargeable hereunder for such day automatically shall be deemed
increased to the minimum rate.

               (b)  LETTER OF CREDIT FEE. Borrowers shall pay Agent (for the
ratable benefit of the Lenders with a Revolver Commitment, subject to any letter
agreement between Agent and individual Lenders), a Letter of Credit fee (in
addition to the charges, commissions, fees, and costs set forth in SECTION
2.12(e)) which shall accrue at a rate equal to 4.50% per annum times the Daily
Balance of the undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit.

               (c)  DEFAULT RATE. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default (and at the election of Agent or the
Required Lenders),

                    (i)    all Obligations (except for undrawn Letters of Credit
     and except for Bank Product Obligations) that have been charged to the Loan
     Account pursuant to the terms hereof shall bear interest on the Daily
     Balance thereof at a per annum rate equal to 2 percentage points above the
     per annum rate otherwise applicable hereunder, and

                    (ii)   the Letter of Credit fee provided for above shall be
     increased to 2 percentage points above the per annum rate otherwise
     applicable hereunder.

               (d)  PAYMENT. Except as provided to the contrary in SECTION
2.12(a) and SECTION 2.13(a), interest, Letter of Credit fees, and all other fees
payable hereunder shall be due and payable, in arrears, on the first day of each
month at any time that Obligations or Commitments are outstanding. Borrowers
hereby authorize Agent, from time to time, without prior notice to Borrowers, to
charge such interest and fees, all Lender Group Expenses (as and when incurred),
the charges, commissions, fees, and costs provided for in SECTION 2.12(e) (as
and when accrued or incurred), the fees and costs provided for in SECTION 2.11
(as and when accrued or incurred), and all other payments as and when due and
payable under any Loan Document (including the amounts due and payable with
respect to the Term Loan and including any amounts due and payable to the Bank
Product Providers in respect of Bank Products up to the amount of the then
extant Bank Product Reserve) to Borrowers' Loan Account, which amounts
thereafter shall constitute Advances hereunder and shall accrue interest at the
rate then applicable to Advances hereunder. Any interest not paid when due shall
be compounded by being charged to Borrowers' Loan Account and shall thereafter
constitute Advances hereunder and shall accrue interest at the rate then
applicable to Advances that are Base Rate Loans hereunder.

               (e)  COMPUTATION. All interest and fees chargeable under the Loan
Documents shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual number
of days elapsed. In the event the Base Rate is changed from time to time
hereafter, the rates of interest hereunder based upon the Base Rate
automatically and immediately shall be increased or decreased by an amount equal
to such change in the Base Rate.

                                      -43-
<Page>

               (f)  INTENT TO LIMIT CHARGES TO MAXIMUM LAWFUL RATE. In no event
shall the interest rate or rates payable under this Agreement, plus any other
amounts paid in connection herewith, exceed the highest rate permissible under
any law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination,
deem applicable. Borrowers and the Lender Group, in executing and delivering
this Agreement, intend legally to agree upon the rate or rates of interest and
manner of payment stated within it; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, anything contained
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if said rate or rates of interest or
manner of payment exceeds the maximum allowable under applicable law, then, IPSO
FACTO, as of the date of this Agreement, Borrowers are and shall be liable only
for the payment of such maximum as allowed by law, and payment received from
Borrowers in excess of such legal maximum, whenever received, shall be applied
to reduce the principal balance of the Obligations to the extent of such excess.

     2.7.      CASH MANAGEMENT.

               (a)  Grantors shall (i) establish and maintain cash management
services of a type and on terms satisfactory to Agent at one or more of the
banks set forth on SCHEDULE 2.7(a) (each a "CASH MANAGEMENT BANK"), and shall
request in writing and otherwise take such reasonable steps to ensure that all
of their Account Debtors forward payment of the amounts owed by them directly to
such Cash Management Bank, and (ii) deposit or cause to be deposited promptly,
and in any event no later than the first Business Day after the date of receipt
thereof, all of their Collections (including those sent directly by their
Account Debtors to a Cash Management Bank) into a bank account in Agent's name
(a "Cash Management Account") at one of the Cash Management Banks.

               (b)  Each Cash Management Bank shall establish and maintain Cash
Management Agreements with Agent and Grantors, in form and substance acceptable
to Agent. Each such Cash Management Agreement shall provide, among other things,
that (i) all items of payment deposited in such Cash Management Account and
proceeds thereof are held by such Cash Management Bank agent or
bailee-in-possession for Agent, (ii) the Cash Management Bank has no rights of
setoff or recoupment or any other claim against the applicable Cash Management
Account, other than for payment of its service fees and other charges directly
related to the administration of such Cash Management Account and for returned
checks or other items of payment, and (iii) it immediately will forward by daily
sweep all amounts in the applicable Cash Management Account to the Agent's
Account. Prior to the entrance into Cash Management Agreements related to the
Transition Accounts pursuant to SECTION 3.2(f), all amounts in the Transition
Accounts will be swept daily into the Agent's Account.

               (c)  So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, Administrative Borrower may amend SCHEDULE 2.7(a) to add or
replace a Cash Management Account Bank or Cash Management Account; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that (i) such prospective Cash Management Bank shall be satisfactory to
Agent and Agent shall have consented in writing in advance to the opening of
such Cash Management Account with the prospective Cash Management Bank, and (ii)
prior to the time of the opening of such Cash Management Account, the applicable
Company, and such prospective Cash Management

                                      -44-
<Page>

Bank shall have executed and delivered to Agent a Cash Management Agreement. The
applicable Company shall close any of their Cash Management Accounts (and
establish replacement cash management accounts in accordance with the foregoing
sentence) promptly and in any event within 30 days of notice from Agent that the
creditworthiness of any Cash Management Bank is no longer acceptable in Agent's
reasonable judgment, or as promptly as practicable and in any event within 60
days of notice from Agent that the operating performance, funds transfer, or
availability procedures or performance of the Cash Management Bank with respect
to Cash Management Accounts or Agent's liability under any Cash Management
Agreement with such Cash Management Bank is no longer acceptable in Agent's
reasonable judgment.

               (d)  The Cash Management Accounts shall be cash collateral
accounts, with all cash, checks and similar items of payment in such accounts
securing payment of the Obligations, and in which each Company hereby grants a
Lien to Agent. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, WFF is
the only Cash Management Bank permitted to be used by a Company without the
prior written consent of Agent (except that Borrowers may maintain their
Designated Account, Transition Accounts (subject to SECTION 3.2(b)) and other
operating accounts with Existing Lender).

     2.8.      CREDITING PAYMENTS; FLOAT CHARGE.

               The receipt of any payment item by Agent (whether from transfers
to Agent by the Cash Management Banks pursuant to the Cash Management Agreements
or otherwise) shall not be considered a payment on account unless such payment
item is a wire transfer of immediately available federal funds made to the
Agent's Account or unless and until such payment item is honored when presented
for payment. Should any payment item not be honored when presented for payment,
then Borrowers shall be deemed not to have made such payment and interest shall
be calculated accordingly. Anything to the contrary contained herein
notwithstanding, any payment item shall be deemed received by Agent only if it
is received into the Agent's Account on a Business Day on or before 11:00 a.m.
(California time). If any payment item is received into the Agent's Account on a
non-Business Day or after 11:00 a.m. (California time) on a Business Day, it
shall be deemed to have been received by Agent as of the opening of business on
the immediately following Business Day. For purposes of calculating
Availability, Borrowers shall receive credit for Collections at such time as
Agent has received immediately available funds into the Agent's Account with
respect to such Collections. From and after the Closing Date, Agent shall be
entitled to charge Borrowers for 3 Business Days of 'clearance' or 'float' at
the rate then applicable under SECTION 2.6 to Advances that are Base Rate Loans
on all Collections that are received by Companies (regardless of whether
forwarded by the Cash Management Banks to Agent). This across-the-board 3
Business Day clearance or float charge on all Collections of Companies is
acknowledged by the parties to constitute an integral aspect of the pricing of
the financing of Borrowers and shall apply irrespective of whether or not there
are any outstanding monetary Obligations; the effect of such clearance or float
charge being the equivalent of charging interest on such Collections through the
completion of a period ending 3 Business Days after the receipt thereof. The
parties acknowledge and agree that the

                                      -45-
<Page>

economic benefit of the foregoing provisions of this SECTION 2.8 shall be for
the exclusive benefit of Agent.

     2.9.      DESIGNATED ACCOUNT.

               Agent is authorized to make the Advances and the Term Loan, and
Issuing Lender is authorized to issue the Letters of Credit, under this
Agreement based upon telephonic or other instructions received from anyone
purporting to be an Authorized Person, or without instructions if pursuant to
SECTION 2.6(d). Administrative Borrower agrees to establish and maintain the
Designated Account with the Designated Account Bank for the purpose of receiving
the proceeds of the Advances requested by Borrowers and made by Agent or the
Lenders hereunder. Unless otherwise agreed by Agent and Administrative Borrower,
any Advance, Agent Advance, or Swing Loan requested by Borrowers and made by
Agent or the Lenders hereunder shall be made to the Designated Account.

     2.10.     MAINTENANCE OF LOAN ACCOUNT; STATEMENTS OF OBLIGATIONS.

               Agent shall maintain an account on its books in the name of
Borrowers (the "LOAN ACCOUNT") on which Borrowers will be charged with the Term
Loan, all Advances (including Agent Advances and Swing Loans) made by Agent,
Swing Lender, or the Lenders to Borrowers or for Borrowers' account, the Letters
of Credit issued by Issuing Lender for Borrowers' account, and with all other
payment Obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (except for Bank
Product Obligations), including, accrued interest, fees and expenses, and Lender
Group Expenses. In accordance with SECTION 2.8, the Loan Account will be
credited with all payments received by Agent from Borrowers or for Borrowers'
account, including all amounts received in the Agent's Account from any Cash
Management Bank. Agent shall render statements regarding the Loan Account to
Administrative Borrower, including principal, interest, fees, and including an
itemization of all charges and expenses constituting Lender Group Expenses
owing, and such statements, absent manifest error, shall be conclusively
presumed to be correct and accurate and constitute an account stated between
Borrowers and the Lender Group unless, within 30 days after receipt thereof by
Administrative Borrower, Administrative Borrower shall deliver to Agent written
objection thereto describing the error or errors contained in any such
statements.

     2.11.     FEES.

               Borrowers shall pay to Agent the following fees and charges,
which fees and charges shall be non-refundable when paid (irrespective of
whether this Agreement is terminated thereafter) and shall be apportioned among
the Lenders in accordance with the terms of letter agreements between Agent and
individual Lenders:

               (a)  UNUSED LINE FEE. On the first day of each month during the
term of this Agreement, an unused line fee in the amount equal to 0.50% per
annum times the result of (i) the Maximum Revolver Amount, less (ii) the sum of
(A) the average Daily Balance of Advances that were outstanding during the
immediately preceding month, plus (B) the

                                      -46-
<Page>

average Daily Balance of the Letter of Credit Usage during the immediately
preceding month,

               (b)  FEE LETTER FEES. As and when due and payable under the terms
of the Fee Letter, the fees set forth in the Fee Letter, and

               (c)  AUDIT, APPRAISAL, AND VALUATION CHARGES. Audit, appraisal,
and valuation fees and charges as follows (i) a fee of $850 per day, per
auditor, plus out-of-pocket expenses for each financial audit of any Company
performed by personnel employed by Agent, (ii) if implemented, a fee of $850 per
day, per applicable individual, plus out-of-pocket expenses for each financial
audit of Companies and for the establishment of electronic collateral reporting
systems, and (iii) the actual charges paid or incurred by Agent if it elects to
employ the services of one or more third Persons to perform financial audits of
Companies, to establish electronic collateral reporting systems, to appraise the
Collateral and subject to SECTION 4.6 obtain the Midway Enterprise Value, or any
portion thereof, or to assess any Company's business valuation.

     2.12.     LETTERS OF CREDIT.

               (a)  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
Issuing Lender agrees to issue letters of credit for the account of Borrowers
(each, an "L/C") or to purchase participations or execute indemnities or
reimbursement obligations (each such undertaking, an "L/C UNDERTAKING") with
respect to letters of credit issued by an Underlying Issuer (as of the Closing
Date, the prospective Underlying Issuer is to be Wells Fargo) for the account of
Borrowers. To request the issuance of an L/C or an L/C Undertaking (or the
amendment, renewal, or extension of an outstanding L/C or L/C Undertaking),
Administrative Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by
electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the
Issuing Lender) to the Issuing Lender and Agent (reasonably in advance of the
requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension) a notice
requesting the issuance of an L/C or L/C Undertaking, or identifying the L/C or
L/C Undertaking to be amended, renewed, or extended, the date of issuance,
amendment, renewal, or extension, the date on which such L/C or L/C Undertaking
is to expire, the amount of such L/C or L/C Undertaking, the name and address of
the beneficiary thereof (or of the Underlying Letter of Credit, as applicable),
and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew, or
extend such L/C or L/C Undertaking. If requested by the Issuing Lender,
Administrative Borrower also shall be an applicant under the application with
respect to any Underlying Letter of Credit that is to be the subject of an L/C
Undertaking. The Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue a Letter of
Credit if any of the following would result after giving effect to the requested
Letter of Credit:

                    (i)    the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the Borrowing
     Base LESS the then extant amount of outstanding Advances, or

                    (ii)   the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed $5,000,000,
     or

                                      -47-
<Page>

                    (iii)  the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the Maximum
     Revolver Amount LESS the then extant amount of outstanding Advances.

               Borrowers and the Lender Group acknowledge and agree that certain
Underlying Letters of Credit may be issued to support letters of credit that
already are outstanding as of the Closing Date. Each Letter of Credit (and
corresponding Underlying Letter of Credit) shall be in form and substance
acceptable to the Issuing Lender (in the exercise of its Permitted Discretion),
including the requirement that the amounts payable thereunder must be payable in
Dollars. If Issuing Lender is obligated to advance funds under a Letter of
Credit, Borrowers immediately shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement to Issuing
Lender by paying to Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement not later
than 11:00 a.m., California time, on the date that such L/C Disbursement is
made, if Administrative Borrower shall have received written or telephonic
notice of such L/C Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., California time, on such
date, or, if such notice has not been received by Administrative Borrower prior
to such time on such date, then not later than 11:00 a.m., California time, on
(i) the Business Day that Administrative Borrower receives such notice, if such
notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., California time, on the date of receipt,
and, in the absence of such reimbursement, the L/C Disbursement immediately and
automatically shall be deemed to be an Advance hereunder and, thereafter, shall
bear interest at the rate then applicable to Advances that are Base Rate Loans
under SECTION 2.6. To the extent an L/C Disbursement is deemed to be an Advance
hereunder, Borrowers' obligation to reimburse such L/C Disbursement shall be
discharged and replaced by the resulting Advance. Promptly following receipt by
Agent of any payment from Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph, Agent shall
distribute such payment to the Issuing Lender or, to the extent that Lenders
have made payments pursuant to SECTION 2.12(c) to reimburse the Issuing Lender,
then to such Lenders and the Issuing Lender as their interest may appear.

               (b)  Promptly following receipt of a notice of L/C Disbursement
pursuant to SECTION 2.12(a), each Lender with a Revolver Commitment agrees to
fund its Pro Rata Share of any Advance deemed made pursuant to the foregoing
subsection on the same terms and conditions as if Borrowers had requested such
Advance and Agent shall promptly pay to Issuing Lender the amounts so received
by it from the Lenders. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment
to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further
action on the part of the Issuing Lender or the Lenders with Revolver
Commitment, the Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have granted to each Lender
with a Revolver Commitment, and each Lender with a Revolver Commitment shall be
deemed to have purchased, a participation in each Letter of Credit, in an amount
equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Risk Participation Liability of such Letter
of Credit, and each such Lender agrees to pay to Agent, for the account of the
Issuing Lender, such Lender's Pro Rata Share of any payments made by the Issuing
Lender under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the
foregoing, each Lender with a Revolver Commitment hereby absolutely and
unconditionally agrees to pay to Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender,
such Lender's Pro Rata Share of each L/C Disbursement made by the Issuing Lender
and not reimbursed by Borrowers on the date due as provided in clause (a) of
this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to
Borrowers for any reason. Each Lender

                                      -48-
<Page>

with a Revolver Commitment acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to
deliver to Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, an amount equal to its
respective Pro Rata Share of each L/C Disbursement made by the Issuing Lender
pursuant to this SECTION 2.12(b) shall be absolute and unconditional and such
remittance shall be made notwithstanding the occurrence or continuation of an
Event of Default or Default or the failure to satisfy any condition set forth in
SECTION 3 hereof. If any such Lender fails to make available to Agent the amount
of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of each L/C Disbursement made by the Issuing
Lender in respect of such Letter of Credit as provided in this Section, such
Lender shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender and Agent (for the account of
the Issuing Lender) shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such
Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate until paid
in full.

               (c)  Each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, save, defend, and
hold the Lender Group harmless from any loss, cost, expense, or liability, and
reasonable attorneys fees incurred by the Lender Group arising out of or in
connection with any Letter of Credit; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no Borrower shall
be obligated hereunder to indemnify for any loss, cost, expense, or liability to
the extent that it is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
the Issuing Lender or any other member of the Lender Group. Each Borrower agrees
to be bound by the Underlying Issuer's regulations and interpretations of any
Underlying Letter of Credit or by Issuing Lender's interpretations of any L/C
issued by Issuing Lender to or for such Borrower's account, even though this
interpretation may be different from such Borrower's own, and each Borrower
understands and agrees that the Lender Group shall not be liable for any error,
negligence, or mistake, whether of omission or commission, in following
Borrowers' instructions or those contained in the Letter of Credit or any
modifications, amendments, or supplements thereto. Each Borrower understands
that the L/C Undertakings may require Issuing Lender to indemnify the Underlying
Issuer for certain costs or liabilities arising out of claims by Borrowers
against such Underlying Issuer. Each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, save,
defend, and hold the Lender Group harmless with respect to any loss, cost,
expense (including reasonable attorneys fees), or liability incurred by the
Lender Group under any L/C Undertaking as a result of the Lender Group's
indemnification of any Underlying Issuer; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no Borrower
shall be obligated hereunder to indemnify for any loss, cost, expense, or
liability to the extent that it is caused by the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Issuing Lender or any other member of the Lender Group.

               (d)  Each Borrower hereby authorizes and directs any Underlying
Issuer to deliver to the Issuing Lender all instruments, documents, and other
writings and property received by such Underlying Issuer pursuant to such
Underlying Letter of Credit and to accept and rely upon the Issuing Lender's
instructions with respect to all matters arising in connection with such
Underlying Letter of Credit and the related application.

               (e)  Any and all charges, commissions, fees, and costs incurred
by the Issuing Lender relating to Underlying Letters of Credit shall be Lender
Group Expenses for purposes of this Agreement and immediately shall be
reimbursable by Borrowers to Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender; it
being acknowledged and agreed by each Borrower that, as of the Closing Date, the
issuance fee imposed by the prospective Underlying Issuer is

                                      -49-
<Page>

..825% per annum times the face amount of each Underlying Letter of Credit, that
such issuance charge may be changed from time to time, and that the Underlying
Issuer also imposes a schedule of charges for amendments, extensions, drawings,
and renewals.

               (f)  If by reason of (i) any change after the Closing Date in any
applicable law, treaty, rule, or regulation or any change in the interpretation
or application thereof by any Governmental Authority, or (ii) compliance by the
Underlying Issuer or the Lender Group with any direction, request, or
requirement (irrespective of whether having the force of law) of any
Governmental Authority or monetary authority including, Regulation D of the
Federal Reserve Board as from time to time in effect (and any successor
thereto):

                    (i)    any reserve, deposit, or similar requirement is or
     shall be imposed or modified in respect of any Letter of Credit issued
     hereunder, or

                    (ii)   there shall be imposed on the Underlying Issuer or
     the Lender Group any other condition regarding any Underlying Letter of
     Credit or any Letter of Credit issued pursuant hereto;

and the result of the foregoing is to increase, directly or indirectly, the cost
to the Lender Group of issuing, making, guarantying, or maintaining any Letter
of Credit or to reduce the amount receivable in respect thereof by the Lender
Group, then, and in any such case, Agent may, at any time within a reasonable
period after the additional cost is incurred or the amount received is reduced,
notify Administrative Borrower, and Borrowers shall pay on demand such amounts
as Agent may specify to be necessary to compensate the Lender Group for such
additional cost or reduced receipt, together with interest on such amount from
the date of such demand until payment in full thereof at the rate then
applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder. The determination by Agent of any
amount due pursuant to this Section, as set forth in a certificate setting forth
the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, shall, in the absence of manifest
or demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding on all of the parties
hereto.

     2.13.     LIBOR OPTION.

               (a)  INTEREST AND INTEREST PAYMENT DATES. In lieu of having
interest charged at the rate based upon the Base Rate, Borrowers shall have the
option (the "LIBOR OPTION") to have interest on all or a portion of the Advances
be charged at a rate of interest based upon the LIBOR Rate. Interest on LIBOR
Rate Loans shall be payable on the earliest of (i) the last day of the Interest
Period applicable thereto, (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default in
consequence of which the Required Lenders or Agent on behalf thereof have
elected to accelerate the maturity of all or any portion of the Obligations, or
(iii) termination of this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof. On the last
day of each applicable Interest Period, unless Administrative Borrower properly
has exercised the LIBOR Option with respect thereto, the interest rate
applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan automatically shall convert to the rate of
interest then applicable to Base Rate Loans of the same type hereunder. At any
time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers no
longer shall have the option to request that Advances bear interest at the LIBOR
Rate and Agent

                                      -50-
<Page>

shall have the right to convert the interest rate on all outstanding LIBOR Rate
Loans to the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder.

               (b)  LIBOR ELECTION.

                    (i)    Administrative Borrower may, at any time and from
     time to time, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
     continuing, elect to exercise the LIBOR Option by notifying Agent prior to
     11:00 a.m. (California time) at least 3 Business Days prior to the
     commencement of the proposed Interest Period (the "LIBOR DEADLINE"). Notice
     of Administrative Borrower's election of the LIBOR Option for a permitted
     portion of the Advances and an Interest Period pursuant to this Section
     shall be made by delivery to Agent of a LIBOR Notice received by Agent
     before the LIBOR Deadline, or by telephonic notice received by Agent before
     the LIBOR Deadline (to be confirmed by delivery to Agent of a LIBOR Notice
     received by Agent prior to 5:00 p.m. (California time) on the same day).
     Promptly upon its receipt of each such LIBOR Notice, Agent shall provide a
     copy thereof to each of the Lenders having a Revolver Commitment.

                    (ii)   Each LIBOR Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on
     Borrowers. In connection with each LIBOR Rate Loan, each Borrower shall
     indemnify, defend, and hold Agent and the Lenders harmless against any
     loss, cost, or expense incurred by Agent or any Lender as a result of (a)
     the payment of any principal of any LIBOR Rate Loan other than on the last
     day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an
     Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan other than on
     the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (c) the failure
     to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any LIBOR Rate Loan on the date
     specified in any LIBOR Notice delivered pursuant hereto (such losses,
     costs, and expenses, collectively, "FUNDING LOSSES"). Funding Losses shall,
     with respect to Agent or any Lender, be deemed to equal the amount
     determined by Agent or such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the
     amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such
     LIBOR Rate Loan had such event not occurred, at the LIBOR Rate that would
     have been applicable thereto, for the period from the date of such event to
     the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case
     of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have
     been the Interest Period therefor), MINUS (ii) the amount of interest that
     would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate
     which Agent or such Lender would be offered were it to be offered, at the
     commencement of such period, Dollar deposits of a comparable amount and
     period in the London interbank market. A certificate of Agent or a Lender
     delivered to Administrative Borrower setting forth any amount or amounts
     that Agent or such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this SECTION
     2.13 shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

                    (iii)  Borrowers shall have not more than 5 LIBOR Rate Loans
     in effect at any given time. Borrowers only may exercise the LIBOR Option
     for LIBOR Rate Loans of at least $1,000,000 and integral multiples of
     $500,000 in excess thereof.

                                      -51-
<Page>

               (c)  PREPAYMENTS. Borrowers may prepay LIBOR Rate Loans at any
time; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the event that LIBOR Rate Loans are prepaid on
any date that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto,
including as a result of any automatic prepayment through the required
application by Agent of proceeds of Borrowers' and their Subsidiaries'
Collections in accordance with SECTION 2.4(b) or for any other reason, including
early termination of the term of this Agreement or acceleration of all or any
portion of the Obligations pursuant to the terms hereof, each Borrower shall
indemnify, defend, and hold Agent and the Lenders and their Participants
harmless against any and all Funding Losses in accordance with clause (b) above.

               (d)  SPECIAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO LIBOR RATE.

                    (i)    The LIBOR Rate may be adjusted by Agent with respect
     to any Lender on a prospective basis to take into account any additional or
     increased costs to such Lender of maintaining or obtaining any eurodollar
     deposits or increased costs due to changes in applicable law occurring
     subsequent to the commencement of the then applicable Interest Period,
     including changes in tax laws (except changes of general applicability in
     corporate income tax laws) and changes in the reserve requirements imposed
     by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor),
     excluding the Reserve Percentage, which additional or increased costs would
     increase the cost of funding loans bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate. In
     any such event, the affected Lender shall give Administrative Borrower and
     Agent notice of such a determination and adjustment and Agent promptly
     shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and, upon its receipt of the
     notice from the affected Lender, Administrative Borrower may, by notice to
     such affected Lender (y) require such Lender to furnish to Administrative
     Borrower a statement setting forth the basis for adjusting such LIBOR Rate
     and the method for determining the amount of such adjustment, or (z) repay
     the LIBOR Rate Loans with respect to which such adjustment is made
     (together with any amounts due under clause (b)(ii) above).

                    (ii)   In the event that any change in market conditions or
     any law, regulation, treaty, or directive, or any change therein or in the
     interpretation of application thereof, shall at any time after the date
     hereof, in the reasonable opinion of any Lender, make it unlawful or
     impractical for such Lender to fund or maintain LIBOR Advances or to
     continue such funding or maintaining, or to determine or charge interest
     rates at the LIBOR Rate, such Lender shall give notice of such changed
     circumstances to Agent and Administrative Borrower and Agent promptly shall
     transmit the notice to each other Lender and (y) in the case of any LIBOR
     Rate Loans of such Lender that are outstanding, the date specified in such
     Lender's notice shall be deemed to be the last day of the Interest Period
     of such LIBOR Rate Loans, and interest upon the LIBOR Rate Loans of such
     Lender thereafter shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Base
     Rate Loans, and (z) Borrowers shall not be entitled to elect the LIBOR
     Option until such Lender determines that it would no longer be unlawful or
     impractical to do so.

                                      -52-
<Page>

               (e)  NO REQUIREMENT OF MATCHED FUNDING. Anything to the contrary
contained herein notwithstanding, neither Agent, nor any Lender, nor any of
their Participants, is required actually to acquire eurodollar deposits to fund
or otherwise match fund any Obligation as to which interest accrues at the LIBOR
Rate. The provisions of this Section shall apply as if each Lender or its
Participants had match funded any Obligation as to which interest is accruing at
the LIBOR Rate by acquiring eurodollar deposits for each Interest Period in the
amount of the LIBOR Rate Loans.

     2.14.     CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS.

               If, after the date hereof, any Lender determines that (i) the
adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding
capital requirements for banks or bank holding companies, or any change in the
interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with
the administration thereof, or (ii) compliance by such Lender or its parent bank
holding company with any guideline, request or directive of any such entity
regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law), has the
effect of reducing the return on such Lender's or such holding company's capital
as a consequence of such Lender's Commitments hereunder to a level below that
which such Lender or such holding company could have achieved but for such
adoption, change, or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's or such
holding company's then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and
assuming the full utilization of such entity's capital) by any amount deemed by
such Lender to be material, then such Lender may notify Administrative Borrower
and Agent thereof. Following receipt of such notice, Borrowers agree to pay such
Lender on demand the amount of such reduction of return of capital as and when
such reduction is determined, payable within 90 days after presentation by such
Lender of a statement in the amount and setting forth in reasonable detail such
Lender's calculation thereof and the assumptions upon which such calculation was
based (which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error).
In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and
attribution methods.

     2.15.     JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY OF BORROWERS.

               (a)  Each Borrower is accepting joint and several liability
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in consideration of the financial
accommodations to be provided by the Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement,
for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each Borrower and in
consideration of the undertakings of the other Borrowers to accept joint and
several liability for the Obligations.

               (b)  Each Borrower, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint
and several liability with the other Borrowers, with respect to the payment and
performance of all of the Obligations (including, without limitation, any
Obligations arising under this SECTION 2.15), it being the intention of the
parties hereto that all the Obligations shall be the joint and several
obligations of each Borrower without preferences or distinction among them.

                                      -53-
<Page>

               (c)  If and to the extent that any of Borrowers shall fail to
make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due or to
perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in
each such event the other Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or
perform, such Obligation.

               (d)  The Obligations of each Borrower under the provisions of
this SECTION 2.15 constitute the absolute and unconditional, full recourse
Obligations of each Borrower enforceable against each such Borrower to the full
extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity, regularity or
enforceability of this Agreement or any other circumstances whatsoever.

               (e)  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement,
each Borrower hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several
liability, notice of any Advances or Letters of Credit issued under or pursuant
to this Agreement, notice of the occurrence of any Default, Event of Default, or
of any demand for any payment under this Agreement, notice of any action at any
time taken or omitted by Agent or Lenders under or in respect of any of the
Obligations, any requirement of diligence or to mitigate damages and, generally,
to the extent permitted by applicable law, all demands, notices and other
formalities of every kind in connection with this Agreement (except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement). Each Borrower hereby assents to, and waives notice
of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the
Obligations, the acceptance of any payment of any of the Obligations, the
acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action
or acquiescence by Agent or Lenders at any time or times in respect of any
default by any Borrower in the performance or satisfaction of any term,
covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, any and all other
indulgences whatsoever by Agent or Lenders in respect of any of the Obligations,
and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any
time or times, of any security for any of the Obligations or the addition,
substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any Borrower. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower assents to any other action or
delay in acting or failure to act on the part of any Agent or Lender with
respect to the failure by any Borrower to comply with any of its respective
Obligations, including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently
to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable
laws or regulations thereunder, which might, but for the provisions of this
SECTION 2.15 afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving any
Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its Obligations under this SECTION
2.15, it being the intention of each Borrower that, so long as any of the
Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied, the Obligations of such Borrower under
this SECTION 2.15 shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to
the extent of such performance. The Obligations of each Borrower under this
SECTION 2.15 shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding
up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar
proceeding with respect to any Borrower or any Agent or Lender. The joint and
several liability of the Borrower hereunder shall continue in full force and
effect notwithstanding any absorption, merger, amalgamation or any other change
whatsoever in the name, constitution or place of formation of any of the
Borrower or any Agent or Lender.

                                      -54-
<Page>

               (f)  Each Borrower represents and warrants to Agent and Lenders
that such Borrower is currently informed of the financial condition of Borrowers
and of all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which
bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations. Each Borrower further
represents and warrants to Agent and Lenders that such Borrower has read and
understands the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents. Each Borrower hereby
covenants that such Borrower will continue to keep informed of Borrowers'
financial condition, the financial condition of other guarantors, if any, and of
all other circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance
of the Obligations.

               (g)  The provisions of this SECTION 2.15 are made for the benefit
of the Agent, the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, and may
be enforced by it or them from time to time against any or all of the Borrowers
as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of
any such Agent, Lender, successor or assign first to marshal any of its or their
claims or to exercise any of its or their rights against any of the other
Borrowers or to exhaust any remedies available to it or them against any of the
other Borrowers or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment
of any of the Obligations hereunder or to elect any other remedy. The provisions
of this SECTION 2.15 shall remain in effect until all of the Obligations shall
have been Paid In Full or otherwise fully satisfied. If at any time, any
payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations, is
rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by any Agent or Lender upon
the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any of the Borrowers, or
otherwise, the provisions of this SECTION 2.15 will forthwith be reinstated in
effect, as though such payment had not been made.

               (h)  Each Borrower hereby agrees that it will not enforce any of
its rights of contribution or subrogation against the other Borrowers with
respect to any liability incurred by it hereunder or under any of the other Loan
Documents, any payments made by it to the Agent or the Lenders with respect to
any of the Obligations or any collateral security therefor until such time as
all of the Obligations have been Paid In Full in cash. Any claim which any
Borrower may have against any other Borrower with respect to any payments to any
Agent or Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Documents are hereby expressly
made subordinate and junior in right of payment, without limitation as to any
increases in the Obligations arising hereunder or thereunder, to the prior
payment of the Obligations until the Obligations are Paid In Full and, in the
event of any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization
or other similar proceeding under the laws of any jurisdiction relating to any
Borrower, its debts or its assets, whether voluntary or involuntary, all such
Obligations shall be Paid In Full before any payment or distribution of any
character, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any
other Borrower therefor.

               (i)  Each Borrower hereby agrees that, after the occurrence and
during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, the payment of any
amounts due with respect to the indebtedness owing by any Borrower to any other
Borrower is hereby subordinated to the Obligations until the Obligations are
Paid In Full. Each Borrower hereby agrees that after the occurrence and during
the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, such Borrower will not
demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any

                                      -55-
<Page>

indebtedness of any other Borrower owing to such Borrower until the Obligations
shall have been Paid In Full. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, such
Borrower shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such
indebtedness, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by such
Borrower as trustee for the Agent, and such Borrower shall deliver any such
amounts to Agent for application to the Obligations in accordance with SECTION
2.4(b).

               (j)  Each U.S. Credit Party has guarantied the Obligations
pursuant to the U.S. Credit Party Guaranty.

3.   CONDITIONS; TERM OF AGREEMENT.

     3.1.      CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO THE INITIAL EXTENSION OF CREDIT.

               The obligation of the Lender Group (or any member thereof) to
make the initial Advance (or otherwise to extend any credit provided for
hereunder), is subject to the fulfillment, to the satisfaction of Agent, of each
of the conditions precedent set forth below:

               (a)  the Closing Date shall occur on or before March 5, 2004;

               (b)  Agent shall have received a UCC Filing Authorization Letter,
duly executed by each Grantor, together with appropriate financing statements on
Form UCC-1, duly filed in such office or offices as may be necessary or, in the
opinion of Agent, desirable to perfect the Agent's Liens in and to the
Collateral, and Agent shall have received its searches and be satisfied with the
results thereof;

               (c)  Agent shall have received each of the following documents,

     3.3.      CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO ALL EXTENSIONS OF CREDIT.

               The obligation of the Lender Group (or any member thereof) to
make any Advances hereunder at any time (or to extend any other credit
hereunder) shall be subject to the following conditions precedent:

               (a)  the representations and warranties contained in this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material
respects on and as of the date of such extension of credit, as though made on
and as of such date (except to the extent that such representations and
warranties relate solely to an earlier date);

               (b)  no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing on the date of such extension of credit, nor shall either result from
the making thereof;

               (c)  no injunction, writ, restraining order, or other order of
any nature restricting or prohibiting, directly or indirectly, the extending of
such credit shall have been issued and remain in force by any Governmental
Authority against any Borrower, Agent, any Lender, or any of their Affiliates;
and

               (d)  no Material Adverse Change shall have occurred.

     3.4.      TERM.

               This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect for a term
ending on March 3, 2009 (the "MATURITY DATE"). The foregoing notwithstanding,
the Lender Group, upon the election of the Required Lenders, shall have the
right to terminate its obligations under this Agreement immediately and without
notice upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default.

     3.5.      EFFECT OF TERMINATION.

               On the date of termination of this Agreement, all Obligations
(including contingent reimbursement obligations of Borrowers with respect to any
outstanding Letters of Credit and including all Bank Products Obligations)
immediately shall become due and payable without notice or demand. No
termination of this Agreement, however, shall relieve or discharge Companies of
their duties, Obligations, or covenants hereunder and the Agent's Liens in the
Collateral shall remain in effect until all Obligations have been Paid In Full
and the Lender Group's obligations to provide additional credit hereunder have
been terminated. When this Agreement has been terminated and all of the
Obligations have been Paid In Full and the Lender Group's obligations to provide
additional credit under the Loan Documents have been terminated irrevocably,
Agent will, at Borrowers' sole expense, execute and deliver any UCC termination
statements, lien releases, mortgage releases, re-assignments of trademarks,
discharges of security interests, and other similar discharge or release
documents (and, if applicable, in recordable form) as are reasonably necessary
to release, as of record, the Agent's Liens and all notices of security
interests and liens previously filed by Agent with respect to the Obligations.

     3.6.      EARLY TERMINATION BY BORROWERS.

               Borrowers have the option, at any time upon 15 days prior written
notice by Administrative Borrower to Agent, to terminate this Agreement by
paying to Agent the Obligations (including with respect to Letter of Credit
Usage (a) either (i) providing cash collateral to be held by Agent for the
benefit of those Lenders with a Revolver Commitment in an amount equal to 105%
of the then extant Letter of Credit Usage, (ii) providing a letter of credit in
form and substance satisfactory to Agent to be issued to Agent by a financial
institution satisfactory to Agent in an amount equal to 105% of the then extant
Letter of Credit Usage to support such Letter of Credit Usage, or (iii) causing
the original Letters of Credit to be returned to the Issuing Lender, and (b)
providing cash collateral (in an amount determined by Agent as sufficient to
satisfy the reasonably estimated credit exposure) to be held by Agent for the
benefit of the Bank Product Providers with respect to the then extant Bank
Products Obligations), together with the Applicable Prepayment Premium (to be
allocated based upon letter agreements between Agent and individual Lenders). If
Administrative Borrower has sent a notice of termination pursuant to the
provisions of this Section, then the Commitments shall terminate and Borrowers
shall be obligated to cause the Obligations, together with the Applicable
Prepayment Premium, to be Paid in Full on the date set forth as the date of
termination of this Agreement in such notice. In the event of the termination of
this Agreement and repayment of the Obligations at any time prior to the
Maturity Date, for any other reason, including (a) termination upon the election
of the Required Lenders to terminate after the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default, (b) foreclosure and sale of Collateral, (c)
sale of the Collateral in any Insolvency Proceeding, or (d) restructure,
reorganization or compromise of the Obligations by the confirmation of a plan of
reorganization, or any other plan of compromise, restructure, or arrangement in
any Insolvency Proceeding, then, in view of the impracticability and extreme
difficulty of ascertaining the actual amount of damages to the Lender Group or
profits lost by the Lender Group as a result of such early termination, and by
mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable estimation and calculation of
the lost profits or damages of the Lender Group, Borrowers shall pay the
Applicable Prepayment Premium to Agent (to be allocated based upon letter
agreements between Agent and individual Lenders), measured as of the date of
such termination.

4.   CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST.

     4.1.      GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST.

               Each Grantor hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of the
Lender Group and the Bank Product Providers, a continuing security interest in
all of its right, title, and interest in all currently existing and hereafter
acquired or arising Grantor Collateral in order to secure prompt repayment of
any and all of the Obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions of
the Loan Documents and in order to secure prompt performance by Grantors of each
of their covenants and duties under the Loan Documents. The Agent's Liens in and
to the Grantor Collateral shall attach to all Grantor Collateral without further
act on the part of Agent or Grantors. Anything contained in this Agreement or
any other Loan Document to

                                      -61-

the contrary notwithstanding, except for Permitted Dispositions, Companies have
no authority, express or implied, to dispose of any item or portion of the
Collateral.

     4.2.      NEGOTIABLE COLLATERAL.

               In the event that any Grantor Collateral, including proceeds, is
evidenced by or consists of Negotiable Collateral, and if and to the extent that
Agent determines that perfection or priority of Agent's security interest is
dependent on or enhanced by possession, the applicable Grantor, immediately upon
the request of Agent, shall endorse and deliver physical possession of such
Negotiable Collateral to Agent.

     4.3.      COLLECTION OF ACCOUNTS, GENERAL INTANGIBLES, AND NEGOTIABLE
               COLLATERAL.

               At any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of
an Event of Default, Agent or Agent's designee may (a) notify Account Debtors of
Grantors that the Grantors' Accounts, chattel paper, or General Intangibles have
been assigned to Agent or that Agent has a security interest therein, or (b)
collect the Grantors' Accounts, chattel paper, or General Intangibles directly
and charge the collection costs and expenses to the Loan Account. Each Grantor
agrees that it will hold for the Lender Group any of its or its Subsidiaries'
Collections that it receives and immediately will deliver such Collections to
Agent or a Cash Management Bank in their original form as received by such
Grantor.

     4.4.      FILING OF FINANCING STATEMENTS; COMMERCIAL TORT CLAIMS; DELIVERY
               OF ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED.

               (a)  Grantors authorize Agent to file any financing statement
necessary or desirable to effectuate the transactions contemplated by the Loan
Documents, and any continuation statement or amendment with respect thereto, in
any appropriate filing office without the signature of Grantors where permitted
by applicable law. Grantors hereby ratify the filing of any financing statement
filed without the signature of Grantors prior to the date hereof. Agent shall
provide copies of financing statements filed against any Grantor.

               (b)  If Grantors acquire any commercial tort claims after the
date hereof, Grantors shall promptly (but in any event within 3 Business Days
after such acquisition) deliver to Agent a written description of such
commercial tort claim and shall deliver a written agreement, in form and
substance satisfactory to Agent, pursuant to which the applicable Grantor shall
pledge and collaterally assign all of its right, title and interest in and to
such commercial tort claim to Agent, as security for the Obligations (a
"COMMERCIAL TORT CLAIM ASSIGNMENT").

               (c)  At any time upon the request of Agent, Grantors shall
execute or deliver to Agent any and all financing statements, original financing
statements in lieu of continuation statements, fixture filings, security
agreements, pledges, assignments, Commercial Tort Claim Assignments,
endorsements of certificates of title, and all other documents (collectively,
the "ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS") that Agent may request in its Permitted Discretion,
in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, to create, perfect, and

                                      -62-
<Page>

continue perfected or to better perfect the Agent's Liens in the assets of
Grantors (whether now owned or hereafter arising or acquired, tangible or
intangible, real or personal), to create and perfect Liens in favor of Agent in
any Real Property acquired after the Closing Date, and in order to fully
consummate all of the transactions contemplated hereby and under the other Loan
Documents. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor
authorizes Agent to execute any such Additional Documents in the applicable
Grantor's name and authorizes Agent to file such executed Additional Documents
in any appropriate filing office. In addition, on such periodic basis as Agent
shall require, Grantors shall (i) provide Agent with a report of all new
material patentable, copyrightable, or trademarkable materials acquired or
generated by any Grantor during the prior period, (ii) cause all material
patents, copyrights, and trademarks acquired or generated by Grantors that are
not already the subject of a registration with the appropriate filing office (or
an application therefor diligently prosecuted) to be registered with such
appropriate filing office in a manner sufficient to impart constructive notice
of a Grantor's ownership thereof, and (iii) cause to be prepared, executed, and
delivered to Agent supplemental schedules to the applicable Loan Documents to
identify such material patents, copyrights, and trademarks as being subject to
the security interests created thereunder.

     4.5.      POWER OF ATTORNEY.

               Each Grantor hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes, and appoints
Agent (and any of Agent's officers, employees, or agents designated by Agent) as
such Grantor's true and lawful attorney, with power to (a) if such Grantor
refuses to, or fails timely to execute and deliver any of the documents
described in SECTION 4.4, sign the name of such Grantor on any of the documents
described in SECTION 4.4, (b) at any time that an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, sign such Grantor's name on any invoice or bill of lading
relating to the Grantor Collateral, drafts against Account Debtors, or notices
to Account Debtors, (c) send requests for verification of Grantors' Accounts,
(d) endorse such Grantor's name on any of its payment items (including all of
its Collections and payments from insurers) that may come into the Lender
Group's possession, (e) at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, make, settle, and adjust all claims under such Grantor's policies of
insurance and make all determinations and decisions with respect to such
policies of insurance, and (f) at any time that an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, settle and adjust disputes and claims respecting Grantors'
Accounts, chattel paper, or General Intangibles directly with Account Debtors,
for amounts and upon terms that Agent determines to be reasonable, and Agent may
cause to be executed and delivered any documents and releases that Agent
determines to be necessary. The appointment of Agent as each Grantor's attorney,
and each and every one of its rights and powers, being coupled with an interest,
is irrevocable until all of the Obligations have been Paid In Full.

     4.6.      RIGHT TO INSPECT.

               Agent and each Lender (through any of their respective officers,
employees, or agents) shall have the right, from time to time hereafter and upon
reasonable prior notice (unless a Default or Event of Default exists in which
case no notice shall be required), to inspect the Books and make copies or
abstracts thereof and to check, test, and appraise the

                                      -63-
<Page>

Collateral, or any portion thereof, in order to verify any Company's financial
condition or the amount, quality, value, condition of, or any other matter
relating to, the Collateral. Without limiting the foregoing, Agent shall have
the right to have the Midway Enterprise Value reappraised by a qualified
appraisal company selected by Agent from time to time after the Closing Date for
the purpose of re-determining the Midway Enterprise Value; provided that so long
as no Default or Event of Default exists, the Borrowers shall not be obligated
to reimburse Agent for more than two appraisals in any fiscal year of Parent.

     4.7.      CONTROL AGREEMENTS.

               Grantors agree that they will not transfer assets out of any of
their Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that so long
as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom,
Grantors may use such assets (and the proceeds thereof) to the extent not
prohibited by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and, if the transfer is
to another bank or securities intermediary, so long as the applicable Grantor,
Agent, and the substitute bank or securities intermediary have entered into a
Control Agreement. Grantors agree that they will take any or all reasonable
steps that Agent requests in order for Agent to obtain control in accordance
with Sections 9-104, 9-105, 9-106, and 9-107 of the Code with respect to any of
its or their Securities Accounts, Deposit Accounts, electronic chattel paper,
Investment Property, and letter-of-credit rights. No arrangement contemplated
hereby or by any Control Agreement in respect of any Securities Accounts or
other Investment Property shall be modified by Grantors without the prior
written consent of Agent. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a
Default or Event of Default, Agent may notify any bank or securities
intermediary to liquidate the applicable Deposit Account or Securities Account
or any related Investment Property maintained or held thereby and remit the
proceeds thereof to the Agent's Account.

additional UK Company or Companies, as applicable, were not liable with respect

Lender Group, reimbursement of Lender Group Expenses, or other amounts
constituting Obligations);

               8.2    If Companies:

               to any grace periods, cure periods, or required notices, if any,
               expressly provided for in such Loan Documents), in each case,
               other than any such term, provision, covenant, or agreement that
               is the subject of another provision of this SECTION 8 (in which
               event such other provision of this SECTION 8 shall govern), and
               such failure continues for a period of 10 Business Days;

PROVIDED THAT, during any period of time that any such failure or neglect
referred to in this paragraph exists, even if such failure or neglect is not yet
an Event of Default, Lender shall be relieved of its obligation to extend credit
hereunder;

Company, and any of the following events occur: (a) the applicable Company

(c) the petition commencing the Insolvency Proceeding is not dismissed within 45
calendar days of the date of the filing thereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, during
the pendency of such period, each member of the Lender Group shall be relieved
of its obligation to extend credit hereunder, (d) an interim trustee,
administrator, receiver or other similar officer is appointed to take possession
of all or any substantial portion of the properties or assets of, or to operate
all or any substantial portion of the business of, any Company, or (e) an order
for relief shall have been entered therein;

               8.6    If any Company is enjoined, restrained, or in any way
prevented by court order from continuing to conduct all or any material part of

(other than a license not material or integral to the operation or value of a
Material Videogame) associated with a Material Videogame or a license under
which any Company is a party and that is associated with a Material Videogame is
terminated; if there is a default in any material agreement to which any Company

9.   THE LENDER GROUP'S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

     9.1.      RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

               Upon the occurrence, and during the continuation, of an Event of
Default, the Required Lenders (at their election but without notice of their
election and without demand) may authorize and instruct Agent and, in respect of
the UK Stock Pledge Agreement, the UK Security Trustee to do any one or more of
the following on behalf of the Lender Group (and Agent, acting upon the
instructions of the Required Lenders, shall do the same on behalf of the Lender
Group), all of which are authorized by Companies:

               (a)  Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced by this
Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and
payable;

               (b)  Cease advancing money or extending credit to or for the
benefit of Borrowers under this Agreement, under any of the Loan Documents, or
under any other agreement between Borrowers and the Lender Group;

               (c)  Terminate this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents
as to any future liability or obligation of the Lender Group, but without
affecting any of the Agent's Liens in the Collateral and without affecting the
Obligations;

               (d)  Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Grantors'
Account Debtors for amounts and upon terms which Agent considers advisable, and
in such cases, Agent will credit the Loan Account with only the net amounts
received by Agent in payment of such disputed Accounts after deducting all
Lender Group Expenses incurred or expended in connection therewith;

                                      -87-
<Page>

               (e)  Cause Grantors to hold all of their returned Inventory for
the Lender Group and segregate all such Inventory from all other assets of
Grantors or in Grantors' possession;

               (f)  Without notice to or demand upon any Grantor, make such
payments and do such acts as Agent considers necessary or reasonable to protect
its security interests in the Collateral. Each Grantor agrees to assemble the
Collateral if Agent so requires, and to make the Collateral available to Agent
at a place that Agent may designate which is reasonably convenient to both
parties. Each Grantor authorizes Agent to enter the premises where the
Collateral is located, to take and maintain possession of the Collateral, or any
part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien that in
Agent's determination appears to conflict with the Agent's Liens in and to the
Collateral and to pay all expenses incurred in connection therewith and to
charge Borrowers' Loan Account therefor. With respect to any of Grantors' owned
or leased premises, each Grantor hereby grants Agent a license to enter into
possession of such premises and to occupy the same, without charge, in order to
exercise any of the Lender Group's rights or remedies provided herein, at law,
in equity, or otherwise;

               (g)  Without notice to any Company (such notice being expressly
waived), and without constituting an acceptance of any collateral in full or
partial satisfaction of an obligation (within the meaning of the Code), set off
and apply to the Obligations any and all (i) balances and deposits of any
Company held by the Lender Group (including any amounts received in the Cash
Management Accounts or Collection Accounts), or (ii) Indebtedness at any time
owing to or for the credit or the account of any Company held by the Lender
Group;

               (h)  Hold, as cash collateral, any and all balances and deposits
of any Company held by the Lender Group, and any amounts received in the Cash
Management Accounts, to secure the full and final repayment of all of the
Obligations;

               (i)  Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair,
prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell (in the manner provided for
herein) the Grantor Collateral. Each Grantor hereby grants to Agent a license or
other right to use, without charge, such Grantor's labels, patents, copyrights,
trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter,
or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Grantor Collateral,
in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Grantor
Collateral and such Grantor's rights under all licenses and all franchise
agreements shall inure to the Lender Group's benefit;

               (j)  Sell the Grantor Collateral at either a public or private
sale, or both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on
terms, in such manner and at such places (including Grantors' premises) as Agent
determines is commercially reasonable. It is not necessary that the Grantor
Collateral be present at any such sale;

               (k)  Agent shall give notice of the disposition of the Grantor
Collateral as follows:

                                      -88-
<Page>

                    (i)    Agent shall give Administrative Borrower (for the
     benefit of the applicable Grantor) a notice in writing of the time and
     place of public sale, or, if the sale is a private sale or some other
     disposition other than a public sale is to be made of the Grantor
     Collateral, the time on or after which the private sale or other
     disposition is to be made; and

                    (ii)   The notice shall be personally delivered or mailed,
     postage prepaid, to Administrative Borrower as provided in SECTION 12, at
     least 10 days before the earliest time of disposition set forth in the
     notice; no notice needs to be given prior to the disposition of any portion
     of the Grantor Collateral that is perishable or threatens to decline
     speedily in value or that is of a type customarily sold on a recognized
     market;

               (l)  Agent, on behalf of the Lender Group may credit bid and
purchase at any public sale;

               (m)  Agent may seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to
take possession of all or any portion of the Grantor Collateral or to operate
same and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, may seek the appointment of
such a receiver without the requirement of prior notice or a hearing; and

               (n)  The Lender Group shall have all other rights and remedies
available to it at law or in equity pursuant to any other Loan Documents;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in
SECTION 8.4 or SECTION 8.5, in addition to the remedies set forth above, without
any notice to Grantors or any other Person or any act by the Lender Group, the
Commitments shall automatically terminate and the Obligations then outstanding,
together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and all fees and all
other amounts due under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall
automatically and immediately become due and payable, without presentment,
demand, protest, or notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by
Grantors.

     9.2.      REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.

               The rights and remedies of the Lender Group under this Agreement,
the other Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. The
Lender Group shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith
as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by the Lender
Group of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by the
Lender Group of any Event of Default shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No
delay by the Lender Group shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence
by it.

10.  TAXES AND EXPENSES.

               If any Company fails to pay any monies (whether taxes,
assessments, insurance premiums, or, in the case of leased properties or assets,
rents or other amounts payable under such leases) due to third Persons, or fails
to make any deposits or furnish any

                                      -89-
<Page>

required proof of payment or deposit, all as required under the terms of this
Agreement, then, Agent, in its sole discretion and without prior notice to any
Company, may do any or all of the following: (a) make payment of the same or any
part thereof, (b) set up such reserves in Borrowers' Loan Account as Agent deems
necessary to protect the Lender Group from the exposure created by such failure,
or (c) in the case of the failure to comply with SECTION 6.8 hereof, obtain and
maintain insurance policies of the type described in SECTION 6.8 and take any
action with respect to such policies as Agent deems prudent. Any such amounts
paid by Agent shall constitute Lender Group Expenses and any such payments shall
not constitute an agreement by the Lender Group to make similar payments in the
future or a waiver by the Lender Group of any Event of Default under this
Agreement. Agent need not inquire as to, or contest the validity of, any such
expense, tax, or Lien and the receipt of the usual official notice for the
payment thereof shall be conclusive evidence that the same was validly due and
owing.

11.  WAIVERS; INDEMNIFICATION.

     11.1.     DEMAND; PROTEST; ETC.

               To the fullest extent permitted by law and except as otherwise
provided in the Loan Documents, each Company waives demand, protest, notice of
protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment,
nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal
of documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guaranties at any time held by the
Lender Group on which any such Company may in any way be liable.

     11.2.     THE LENDER GROUP'S LIABILITY FOR GRANTOR COLLATERAL.

               Each Grantor hereby agrees that: (a) so long as the Lender Group
complies with its obligations, if any, under the Code, including Section 9-603
and those sections enumerated in Section 9-602 of the Code, Agent shall not in
any way or manner be liable or responsible for: (i) the safekeeping of the
Grantor Collateral, (ii) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any
manner or fashion from any cause, (iii) any diminution in the value thereof, or
(iv) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency,
or other Person, and (b) all risk of loss, damage, or destruction of the Grantor
Collateral shall be borne by Grantors.

     11.3.     INDEMNIFICATION.

               Each Company shall pay, indemnify, defend, and hold the
Agent-Related Persons, the Lender-Related Persons, and each Participant (each,
an "INDEMNIFIED PERSON") harmless (to the fullest extent permitted by law) from
and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, investigations,
proceedings, and damages, and all reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements
and other costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith (as and
when they are incurred and irrespective of whether suit is brought), at any time
asserted against, imposed upon, or incurred by any of them (a) in connection
with or as a result of or related to the execution, delivery, enforcement,

                                      -90-
<Page>

performance, or administration (including any restructuring or workout with
respect hereto) of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the monitoring of Companies'
compliance with the terms of the Loan Documents, and (b) with respect to any
investigation, litigation, or proceeding related to this Agreement, any other
Loan Document, or the use of the proceeds of the credit provided hereunder
(irrespective of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto), or any act,
omission, event, or circumstance in any manner related thereto (all the
foregoing, collectively, the "INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES"). The foregoing to the
contrary notwithstanding, Companies shall have no obligation to any Indemnified
Person under this SECTION 11.3 with respect to any Indemnified Liability that a
court of competent jurisdiction finally determines to have resulted from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. This
provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of
the Obligations. If any Indemnified Person makes any payment to any other
Indemnified Person with respect to an Indemnified Liability as to which
Companies were required to indemnify the Indemnified Person receiving such
payment, the Indemnified Person making such payment is entitled to be
indemnified and reimbursed by Companies with respect thereto. WITHOUT
LIMITATION, THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL APPLY TO EACH INDEMNIFIED PERSON WITH
RESPECT TO INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES WHICH IN WHOLE OR IN PART ARE CAUSED BY OR
ARISE OUT OF ANY NEGLIGENT ACT OR OMISSION OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON OR OF ANY
OTHER PERSON.

12.  NOTICES.

               Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices or
demands by Companies or Agent to the other relating to this Agreement or any
other Loan Document shall be in writing and (except for financial statements and

prepaid) shall be personally delivered or sent by registered or certified mail

14.  ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS; SUCCESSORS.

     14.1.     ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS.

               (a)  Any Lender may assign and delegate to one or more assignees
(each an "ASSIGNEE") that are Eligible Transferees all, or any ratable part of
all, of the Obligations, the Commitments and the other rights and obligations of
such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, in a minimum amount of
$5,000,000; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Companies and Agent may continue to deal
solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interest so assigned
to an Assignee until (i) written notice of such assignment, together with
payment instructions, addresses, and related information with respect to the
Assignee, have been given to Administrative Borrower and Agent by such Lender
and the Assignee, (ii) such Lender and its Assignee have delivered to
Administrative Borrower and Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, and (iii) the
assignor Lender or Assignee has paid to Agent for Agent's separate account a
processing fee in the amount of $5,000. Anything contained herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, the payment of any fees shall not be required and the
Assignee need not be an Eligible Transferee if such assignment is in connection
with any merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, or other disposition of all or
any substantial portion of the business or loan portfolio of the assigning
Lender.

                                      -93-
<Page>

               (b)  From and after the date that Agent notifies the assignor
Lender (with a copy to Administrative Borrower) that it has received an executed
Assignment and Acceptance and payment of the above-referenced processing fee,
(i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that
rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such
Assignment and Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender
under the Loan Documents, and (ii) the assignor Lender shall, to the extent that
rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been
assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights
(except with respect to SECTION 11.3 hereof) and be released from any future
obligations under this Agreement (and in the case of an Assignment and
Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender's rights
and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, such Lender
shall cease to be a party hereto and thereto), and such assignment shall effect
a novation between Companies and the Assignee; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that nothing
contained herein shall release any assigning Lender from obligations that
survive the termination of this Agreement, including such assigning Lender's
obligations under ARTICLE 16 and SECTION 17.8 of this Agreement.

               (c)  By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance,
the assigning Lender thereunder and the Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree
with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (1) other than as
provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no
representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any
statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this
Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness,
sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished
pursuant hereto, (2) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty
and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of
Companies or the performance or observance by Companies of any of their
obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant
hereto, (3) such Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this
Agreement, together with such other documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such
Assignment and Acceptance, (4) such Assignee will, independently and without
reliance upon Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender, and based on
such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time,
continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under
this Agreement, (5) such Assignee appoints and authorizes Agent to take such
actions and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to
Agent, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto, and (6) such Assignee agrees that it will perform all of the
obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by
it as a Lender.

               (d)  Immediately upon Agent's receipt of the required processing
fee payment and the fully executed Assignment and Acceptance, this Agreement
shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary
to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the
Commitments arising therefrom. The Commitment allocated to each Assignee shall
reduce such Commitments of the assigning Lender PRO TANTO.

                                      -94-
<Page>

               (e)  Any Lender may at any time, with the written consent of
Agent, sell to one or more commercial banks, financial institutions, or other
Persons not Affiliates of such Lender (a "PARTICIPANT") participating interests
in its Obligations, the Commitment, and the other rights and interests of that
Lender (the "ORIGINATING LENDER") hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
(provided that no written consent of Agent shall be required in connection with
any sale of any such participating interests by a Lender to an Eligible
Transferee); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) the Originating Lender shall remain a
"Lender" for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the
Participant receiving the participating interest in the Obligations, the
Commitments, and the other rights and interests of the Originating Lender
hereunder shall not constitute a "Lender" hereunder or under the other Loan
Documents and the Originating Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall
remain unchanged, (ii) the Originating Lender shall remain solely responsible
for the performance of such obligations, (iii) Companies, Agent, and the Lenders
shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Originating Lender in
connection with the Originating Lender's rights and obligations under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iv) no Lender shall transfer or grant
any participating interest under which the Participant has the right to approve
any amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to, this Agreement or
any other Loan Document (or enter into any agreement not to consent to any
particular action or otherwise attempt to circumvent this provision), except to
the extent such amendment to, or consent or waiver with respect to this
Agreement or of any other Loan Document would (A) extend the final maturity date
of the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (B)
reduce the interest rate applicable to the Obligations hereunder in which such
Participant is participating, (C) release all or substantially all of the
Collateral or guaranties (except to the extent expressly provided herein or in
any of the Loan Documents) supporting the Obligations hereunder in which such
Participant is participating, (D) postpone the payment of, or reduce the amount
of, the interest or fees payable to such Participant through such Lender, or (E)
change the amount or due dates of scheduled principal repayments or prepayments
or premiums; and (v) all amounts payable by Companies hereunder shall be
determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation; except that, if
amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have been
declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in
respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to
the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing
directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement. The rights of any Participant
only shall be derivative through the Originating Lender with whom such
Participant participates and no Participant shall have any rights under this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any direct rights as to the other
Lenders, Agent, Companies, the Collections of Companies, the Collateral, or
otherwise in respect of the Obligations. No Participant shall have the right to
participate directly in the making of decisions by the Lenders among themselves.

               (f)  In connection with any such assignment or participation or
proposed assignment or participation, a Lender may, subject to the provisions of
SECTION 17.8, disclose all documents and information which it now or hereafter
may have relating to Companies and their respective businesses.

                                      -95-
<Page>

               (g)  Any other provision in this Agreement notwithstanding, any
Lender may at any time create a security interest in, or pledge, all or any
portion of its rights under and interest in this Agreement in favor of any
Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Bank
or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR Section 203.24, and such Federal Reserve Bank
may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under
applicable law.

     14.2.     SUCCESSORS.

               This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the
respective successors and assigns of each of the parties; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that Companies may not assign this Agreement or any rights or duties hereunder
without the Lenders' prior written consent and any prohibited assignment shall
be absolutely void AB INITIO. No consent to assignment by the Lenders shall
release any Company from its Obligations. A Lender may assign this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents and its rights and duties hereunder and thereunder
pursuant to SECTION 14.1 hereof and, except as expressly required pursuant to
SECTION 14.1 hereof, no consent or approval by any Company is required in
connection with any such assignment.

15.  AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS.

     15.1.     AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS.

               No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, and no consent with respect to any departure by Companies
therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by
the Required Lenders (or by Agent at the written request of the Required
Lenders) and Administrative Borrower (on behalf of all Companies) and then any
such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for
the specific purpose for which given; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such waiver,
amendment, or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all of the Lenders
affected thereby and Administrative Borrower (on behalf of all Companies) and
acknowledged by Agent, do any of the following:

               (a)  increase or extend any Commitment of any Lender,

               (b)  postpone or delay any date fixed by this Agreement or any
other Loan Document for any payment of principal, interest, fees, or other
amounts due hereunder or under any other Loan Document,

               (c)  reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest on, any
loan or other extension of credit hereunder, or reduce any fees or other amounts
payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document,

               (d)  change the percentage of the Commitments that is required to
take any action hereunder,

                                      -96-
<Page>

               (e)  amend or modify this Section or any provision of the
Agreement providing for consent or other action by all Lenders,

               (f)  release Collateral other than as permitted by SECTION 16.12,

               (g)  change the definition of "Required Lenders" or "Pro Rata
Share",

               (h)  contractually subordinate any of the Agent's Liens,

               (i)  release any Company from any obligation for the payment of
money, or

               (j)  change the definition of Borrowing Base or the definitions
of Eligible Accounts, Maximum Revolver Amount, Term Loan Amount, or change
SECTION 2.1(b); or

               (k)  amend any of the provisions of SECTION 16.

and, PROVIDED FURTHER, HOWEVER, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall,
unless in writing and signed by Agent, Issuing Lender, or Swing Lender, affect
the rights or duties of Agent, Issuing Lender, or Swing Lender, as applicable,
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The foregoing notwithstanding,
any amendment, modification, waiver, consent, termination, or release of, or
with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that
relates only to the relationship of the Lender Group among themselves, and that
does not affect the rights or obligations of Companies, shall not require
consent by or the agreement of Companies.

     15.2.     REPLACEMENT OF HOLDOUT LENDER.

               If any action to be taken by the Lender Group or Agent hereunder
requires the unanimous consent, authorization, or agreement of all Lenders, and
a Lender ("Holdout Lender") fails to give its consent, authorization, or
agreement, then Agent, upon at least 5 Business Days prior irrevocable notice to
the Holdout Lender, may permanently replace the Holdout Lender with one or more
substitute Lenders (each, a "Replacement Lender"), and the Holdout Lender shall
have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder. Such notice to replace the
Holdout Lender shall specify an effective date for such replacement, which date
shall not be later than 15 Business Days after the date such notice is given.

               Prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Holdout
Lender and each Replacement Lender shall execute and deliver an Assignment and
Acceptance Agreement, subject only to the Holdout Lender being repaid its share
of the outstanding Obligations (including an assumption of its Pro Rata Share of
the Risk Participation Liability) without any premium or penalty of any kind
whatsoever. If the Holdout Lender shall refuse or fail to execute and deliver
any such Assignment and Acceptance prior to the effective date of such
replacement, the Holdout Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered
such Assignment and Acceptance. The replacement of any Holdout Lender shall be
made in accordance with the terms of SECTION 14.1. Until such time as the
Replacement Lenders shall have acquired all of the Obligations, the Commitments,
and the other rights and obligations of the Holdout Lender hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents, the Holdout Lender

                                      -97-
<Page>

shall remain obligated to make the Holdout Lender's Pro Rata Share of Advances
and to purchase a participation in each Letter of Credit, in an amount equal to
its Pro Rata Share of the Risk Participation Liability of such Letter of Credit.

     15.3.     NO WAIVERS; CUMULATIVE REMEDIES.

               No failure by Agent or any Lender to exercise any right, remedy,
or option under this Agreement or, any other Loan Document, or delay by Agent or
any Lender in exercising the same, will operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver
by Agent or any Lender will be effective unless it is in writing, and then only
to the extent specifically stated. No waiver by Agent or any Lender on any
occasion shall affect or diminish Agent's and each Lender's rights thereafter to
require strict performance by Companies of any provision of this Agreement.
Agent's and each Lender's rights under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents will be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy that
Agent or any Lender may have.

16.  AGENT; THE LENDER GROUP.

     16.1.     APPOINTMENT AND AUTHORIZATION OF AGENT.

               Each Lender hereby designates and appoints WFF as its
representative under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and each Lender
hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to execute and deliver each of the other
Loan Documents on its behalf and to take such other action on its behalf under
the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise
such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to Agent by the
terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as
are reasonably incidental thereto. Agent agrees to act as such on the express
conditions contained in this SECTION 16. The provisions of this SECTION 16
(other than the proviso to SECTION 16.11(d)) are solely for the benefit of
Agent, and the Lenders, and Companies shall have no rights as a third party
beneficiary of any of the provisions contained herein. Any provision to the
contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document
notwithstanding, Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except
those expressly set forth herein, nor shall Agent have or be deemed to have any
fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions,
responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Agent; it being
expressly understood and agreed that the use of the word "Agent" is for
convenience only, that WFF is merely the representative of the Lenders, and only
has the contractual duties set forth herein. Except as expressly otherwise
provided in this Agreement, Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion
with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary
rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions that Agent expressly is
entitled to take or assert under or pursuant to this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or of any
other provision of the Loan Documents that provides rights or powers to Agent,
Lenders agree that Agent shall have the right to exercise the following powers
as long as this Agreement remains in effect: (a) maintain, in accordance with
its customary business practices, ledgers and records reflecting the status of
the Obligations, the Collateral, the Collections of Companies, and related
matters, (b) execute or file any and all financing or similar statements or
notices, amendments, renewals, supplements, documents, instruments, proofs of
claim, notices and other written agreements with respect to the Loan Documents,
(c) make Advances, for itself or on behalf of Lenders as provided in the Loan
Documents, (d) exclusively receive, apply, and distribute the Collections of
Companies as provided in the Loan Documents, (e) open and maintain such bank
accounts and cash management accounts as Agent deems necessary and appropriate
in accordance with the Loan Documents for the foregoing purposes with respect to
the Collateral and the Collections of Companies, (f) perform, exercise, and
enforce any and all other rights and remedies of the Lender Group with respect
to Companies, the Obligations, the Collateral, the

                                      -98-
<Page>

Collections of Companies, or otherwise related to any of same as provided in the
Loan Documents, and (g) incur and pay such Lender Group Expenses as Agent may
deem necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its
functions and powers pursuant to the Loan Documents.

     16.2.     DELEGATION OF DUTIES.

               Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and
shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such
duties. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any
agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects as long as such selection was made
without gross negligence or willful misconduct.

     16.3.     LIABILITY OF AGENT.

               None of the Agent-Related Persons shall (i) be liable for any
action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with
this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated
hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) be
responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recital, statement,
representation or warranty made by any Company or Affiliate of any Company, or
any officer or director thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other
Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document
referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection
with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness,
genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, or for any failure of any Company or any other party to any Loan
Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related
Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as
to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or
conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the
Books or properties of Companies or the books or records or properties of any of
Companies' Affiliates.

     16.4.     RELIANCE BY AGENT.

               Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in
relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit,
letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other
document or conversation believed by it to be genuine

                                      -99-
<Page>

and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper Person or
Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to
Companies or counsel to any Lender), independent accountants and other experts
selected by Agent. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take
any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless Agent shall
first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lenders as it deems appropriate
and until such instructions are received, Agent shall act, or refrain from
acting, as it deems advisable. If Agent so requests, it shall first be
indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all
liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or
continuing to take any such action. Agent shall in all cases be fully protected
in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document in accordance with a request or consent of the requisite Lenders and
such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be
binding upon all of the Lenders.

     16.5.     NOTICE OF DEFAULT OR EVENT OF DEFAULT.

               Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the
occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults
in the payment of principal, interest, fees, and expenses required to be paid to
Agent for the account of the Lenders and, except with respect to Events of
Default of which Agent has actual knowledge, unless Agent shall have received
written notice from a Lender or Administrative Borrower referring to this
Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default, and stating that such
notice is a "notice of default." Agent promptly will notify the Lenders of its
receipt of any such notice or of any Event of Default of which Agent has actual
knowledge. If any Lender obtains actual knowledge of any Event of Default, such
Lender promptly shall notify the other Lenders and Agent of such Event of
Default. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for giving any notices to its
Participants, if any. Subject to SECTION 16.4, Agent shall take such action with
respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Required
Lenders in accordance with SECTION 9; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that unless and until
Agent has received any such request, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to)
take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such
Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable.

     16.6.     CREDIT DECISION.

               Each Lender acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related Persons
has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Agent
hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Companies or
Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any
Agent-Related Person to any Lender. Each Lender represents to Agent that it has,
independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on
such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations,
property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Companies and
any other Person party to a Loan Document, and all applicable bank regulatory
laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision
to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Companies. Each Lender also
represents that it will, independently and without

                                     -100-
<Page>

reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own
credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as
it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations,
property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Companies and
any other Person party to a Loan Document. Except for notices, reports, and
other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by
Agent, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender
with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects,
operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of
Companies and any other Person party to a Loan Document that may come into the
possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons.

     16.7.     COSTS AND EXPENSES; INDEMNIFICATION.

               Agent may incur and pay Lender Group Expenses to the extent Agent
reasonably deems necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of
its functions, powers, and obligations pursuant to the Loan Documents, including
court costs, attorneys fees and expenses, fees and expenses of financial
accountants, advisors, consultants, and appraisers, costs of collection by
outside collection agencies, auctioneer fees and expenses, and costs of security
guards or insurance premiums paid to maintain the Collateral, whether or not
Companies are obligated to reimburse Agent or Lenders for such expenses pursuant
to the Loan Agreement or otherwise. Agent is authorized and directed to deduct
and retain sufficient amounts from the Collections of Companies received by
Agent to reimburse Agent for such out-of-pocket costs and expenses prior to the
distribution of any amounts to Lenders. In the event Agent is not reimbursed for
such costs and expenses from the Collections of Companies received by Agent,
each Lender hereby agrees that it is and shall be obligated to pay to or
reimburse Agent for the amount of such Lender's Pro Rata Share thereof. Whether
or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall
indemnify upon demand the Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by
or on behalf of Companies and without limiting the obligation of Companies to do
so), according to their Pro Rata Shares, from and against any and all
Indemnified Liabilities; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no Lender shall be liable for
the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified
Liabilities resulting solely from such Person's gross negligence or willful
misconduct nor shall any Lender be liable for the obligations of any Defaulting
Lender in failing to make an Advance or other extension of credit hereunder.
Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Agent upon
demand for such Lender's Pro Rata Share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses
(including attorneys, accountants, advisors, and consultants fees and expenses)
incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery,
administration, modification, amendment, or enforcement (whether through
negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of
rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or
any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that Agent is
not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Companies. The undertaking
in this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the
resignation or replacement of Agent.

                                     -101-
<Page>

     16.8.     AGENT IN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY.

               WFF and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit
for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in, and
generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory,
underwriting, or other business with Companies and Affiliates and any other
Person party to any Loan Documents as though WFF were not Agent hereunder, and,
in each case, without notice to or consent of the other members of the Lender
Group. The other members of the Lender Group acknowledge that, pursuant to such
activities, WFF or its Affiliates may receive information regarding Companies or
their Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Documents that is
subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Companies or such other
Person and that prohibit the disclosure of such information to the Lenders, and
the Lenders acknowledge that, in such circumstances (and in the absence of a
waiver of such confidentiality obligations, which waiver Agent will use its
reasonable best efforts to obtain), Agent shall not be under any obligation to
provide such information to them. The terms "Lender" and "Lenders" include WFF
in its individual capacity.

     16.9.     SUCCESSOR AGENT.

               Agent may resign as Agent upon 45 days notice to the Lenders. If
Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint a
successor Agent for the Lenders. If no successor Agent is appointed prior to the
effective date of the resignation of Agent, Agent may appoint, after consulting
with the Lenders, a successor Agent. If Agent has materially breached or failed
to perform any material provision of this Agreement or of applicable law, the
Required Lenders may agree in writing to remove and replace Agent with a
successor Agent from among the Lenders. In any such event, upon the acceptance
of its appointment as successor Agent hereunder, such successor Agent shall
succeed to all the rights, powers, and duties of the retiring Agent and the term
"Agent" shall mean such successor Agent and the retiring Agent's appointment,
powers, and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent's
resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this SECTION 16 shall inure to
its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was
Agent under this Agreement. If no successor Agent has accepted appointment as
Agent by the date which is 45 days following a retiring Agent's notice of
resignation, the retiring Agent's resignation shall nevertheless thereupon
become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Agent
hereunder until such time, if any, as the Lenders appoint a successor Agent as
provided for above.

     16.10.    LENDER IN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY.

               Any Lender and its respective Affiliates may make loans to, issue
letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity
interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial
advisory, underwriting or other business with Companies and Affiliates and any
other Person (other than the Lender Group) party to any Loan Documents as though
such Lender were not a Lender hereunder without notice to or consent of the
other members of the Lender Group. The other members of the Lender Group
acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, such Lender and its respective
Affiliates may

                                     -102-
<Page>

receive information regarding Companies or their Affiliates and any other Person
party to any Loan Documents that is subject to confidentiality obligations in
favor of Companies or such other Person and that prohibit the disclosure of such
information to the Lenders, and the Lenders acknowledge that, in such
circumstances (and in the absence of a waiver of such confidentiality
obligations, which waiver such Lender will use its reasonable best efforts to
obtain), such Lender shall not be under any obligation to provide such
information to them. With respect to the Swing Loans and Agent Advances, Swing
Lender shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other
Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the sub-agent of the
Agent.

     16.11.    WITHHOLDING TAXES.

               (a)  If any Lender is a "foreign person" within the meaning of
the IRC and such Lender claims exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S.
withholding tax under Sections 1441 or 1442 of the IRC, such Lender agrees with
and in favor of Agent and Companies, to deliver to Agent and Administrative
Borrower:

                    (i)    if such Lender claims an exemption from withholding
     tax pursuant to its portfolio interest exception, (A) a statement of the
     Lender, signed under penalty of perjury, that it is not a (I) a "bank" as
     described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, (II) a 10% shareholder of a
     Company (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the IRC), or (iii) a
     controlled foreign corporation related to a Company within the meaning of
     Section 864(d)(4) of the IRC, and (B) a properly completed and executed IRS
     Form W-8BEN, before the first payment of any interest under this Agreement
     and at any other time reasonably requested by Agent or Administrative
     Borrower;

                    (ii)   if such Lender claims an exemption from, or a
     reduction of, withholding tax under a United States tax treaty, properly
     completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN before the first payment of any
     interest under this Agreement and at any other time reasonably requested by
     Agent or Administrative Borrower;

                    (iii)  if such Lender claims that interest paid under this
     Agreement is exempt from United States withholding tax because it is
     effectively connected with a United States trade or business of such
     Lender, two properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI
     before the first payment of any interest is due under this Agreement and at
     any other time reasonably requested by Agent or Administrative Borrower;

                    (iv)   such other form or forms as may be required under the
     IRC or other laws of the United States as a condition to exemption from, or
     reduction of, United States withholding tax.

Such Lender agrees promptly to notify Agent and Administrative Borrower of any
change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed
exemption or reduction. Agent is not a "foreign person" with in the meaning of
the IRC.

                                     -103-
<Page>

               (b)  If any Lender claims exemption from, or reduction of,
withholding tax under a United States tax treaty by providing IRS Form W-8BEN
and such Lender sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise
transfers all or part of the Obligations of Companies to such Lender, such
Lender agrees to notify Agent of the percentage amount in which it is no longer
the beneficial owner of Obligations of Companies to such Lender. To the extent
of such percentage amount, Agent will treat such Lender's IRS Form W-8BEN as no
longer valid.

               (c)  If any Lender is entitled to a reduction in the applicable
withholding tax, Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an
amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax after taking into account
such reduction. If the forms or other documentation required by subsection (a)
of this Section are not delivered to Agent, then Agent may withhold from any
interest payment to such Lender not providing such forms or other documentation
an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax.

               (d)  If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United
States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that Agent did not properly
withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the
appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such
Lender failed to notify Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the
exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other
reason) such Lender shall indemnify and hold Agent harmless for all amounts
paid, directly or indirectly, by Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties
and interest, and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts
payable to Agent under this Section, together with all costs and expenses
(including attorneys fees and expenses). The obligation of the Lenders under
this subsection shall survive the payment of all Obligations and the resignation
or replacement of Agent.

               (e)  All payments made by Companies hereunder or under any note
or other Loan Document will be made without setoff, counterclaim, or other
defense, except as required by applicable law other than for Taxes (as defined
below). All such payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction
or withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees,
assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any
jurisdiction (other than the United States) or by any political subdivision or
taxing authority thereof or therein (other than of the United States) with
respect to such payments (but excluding, any tax imposed by any jurisdiction or
by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (i) measured
by or based on the net income or net profits of a Lender, or (ii) to the extent
that such tax results from a change in the circumstances of the Lender,
including a change in the residence, place of organization, or principal place
of business of the Lender, or a change in the branch or lending office of the
Lender participating in the transactions set forth herein) and all interest,
penalties or similar liabilities with respect thereto (all such non-excluded
taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges being
referred to collectively as "Taxes"). If any Taxes are so levied or imposed,
each Company agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes, and such additional
amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under this
Agreement or under any note, including any amount paid pursuant to this SECTION
16.11(e) after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not
be less than the

                                     -104-
<Page>

amount provided for herein; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Companies shall not be
required to increase any such amounts payable to Agent or any Lender (i) that is
not organized under the laws of the United States, if such Person fails to
comply with the other requirements of this SECTION 16.11, or (ii) if the
increase in such amount payable results from Agent's or such Lender's own
willful misconduct or gross negligence. Companies will furnish to Agent as
promptly as possible after the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to
applicable law certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by
Companies.

     16.12.    COLLATERAL MATTERS.

               (a)  The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, at its
option and in its sole discretion, to release any Lien on any Collateral (i)
upon the termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full by
Companies of all Obligations, (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed
of if a release is required or desirable in connection therewith and if
Administrative Borrower certifies to Agent that the sale or disposition is
permitted under SECTION 7.4 of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (and
Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry),
(iii) constituting property in which no Company owned any interest at the time
the Agent's Lien was granted nor at any time thereafter, or (iv) constituting
property leased to a Company under a lease that has expired or is terminated in
a transaction permitted under this Agreement. Except as provided above, Agent
will not execute and deliver a release of any Lien on any Collateral without the
prior written authorization of (y) if the release is of all or substantially all
of the Collateral, all of the Lenders, or (z) otherwise, the Required Lenders.
Upon request by Agent or Administrative Borrower at any time, the Lenders will
confirm in writing Agent's authority to release any such Liens on particular
types or items of Collateral pursuant to this SECTION 16.12; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that (1) Agent shall not be required to execute any document necessary to
evidence such release on terms that, in Agent's opinion, would expose Agent to
liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the
release of such Lien without recourse, representation, or warranty, and (2) such
release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or
any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of
Companies in respect of) all interests retained by Companies, including, the
proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the
Collateral.

               (b)  Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of the
Lenders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by Companies or is
cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Agent's
Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected,
protected, or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to
exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care,
disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights,
authorities and powers granted or available to Agent pursuant to any of the Loan
Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or
any act, omission, or event related thereto, subject to the terms and conditions
contained herein, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its
sole discretion given Agent's own interest in the Collateral in its capacity as
one of the Lenders and that Agent shall have no other duty or liability
whatsoever to any Lender as to any of the foregoing, except as otherwise
provided herein.

     16.13.    RESTRICTIONS ON ACTIONS BY LENDERS; SHARING OF PAYMENTS.

               (a)  Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the
express written consent of Agent, and that it shall, to the extent it is
lawfully entitled to do so, upon the written request of Agent, set off against
the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to Companies or any deposit
accounts of Companies now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each of the
Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so
in writing by Agent, take or cause to be taken any action, including, the
commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings, to foreclose any Lien on, or
otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the Collateral.

               (b)  If, at any time or times any Lender shall receive (i) by
payment, foreclosure, setoff, or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any
payments with respect to the Obligations, except for any such proceeds or
payments received by such Lender from Agent pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, or (ii) payments from Agent in excess of such Lender's ratable
portion of all such distributions by Agent, such Lender promptly shall (1) turn
the same over to Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required
to negotiate the same to Agent, or in immediately available funds, as
applicable, for the account of all of the Lenders and for application to the
Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, or
(2) purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and
participation in the Obligations owed to the other Lenders so that such excess
payment received shall be applied ratably as among the Lenders in accordance
with their Pro Rata Shares; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that to the extent that such
excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it,
those purchases of participations shall be rescinded in whole or in part, as
applicable, and the applicable portion of the purchase price paid therefor shall
be returned to such purchasing party, but without interest except to the extent
that such purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with the
recovery of the excess payment.

     16.14.    AGENCY FOR PERFECTION.

               Agent hereby appoints each other Lender as its agent (and each
Lender hereby accepts such appointment) for the purpose of perfecting the
Agent's Liens in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the Code can be
perfected only by possession or control. Should any Lender obtain possession or
control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify Agent thereof, and,
promptly upon Agent's request therefor shall deliver possession or control of
such Collateral to Agent or in accordance with Agent's instructions.

     16.15.    PAYMENTS BY AGENT TO THE LENDERS.

               All payments to be made by Agent to the Lenders shall be made by
bank wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to such wire transfer
instructions as each party may designate for itself by written notice to Agent.
Concurrently with each such payment, Agent shall identify whether such payment
(or any portion thereof) represents principal, premium, or interest of the
Obligations.

     16.16.    CONCERNING THE COLLATERAL AND RELATED LOAN DOCUMENTS.

               Each member of the Lender Group authorizes and directs Agent to
enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each member of the
Lender Group agrees that any action taken by Agent in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents relating to the Collateral and the
exercise by Agent of its powers set forth therein or herein, together with such
other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all
of the Lenders.

     16.17.    FIELD AUDITS AND EXAMINATION REPORTS; CONFIDENTIALITY;
               DISCLAIMERS BY LENDERS; OTHER REPORTS AND INFORMATION.

               By becoming a party to this Agreement, each Lender:

               (a)  is deemed to have requested that Agent furnish such Lender,
promptly after it becomes available, a copy of each field audit or examination
report (each a "REPORT" and collectively, "REPORTS") prepared by Agent, and
Agent shall so furnish each Lender with such Reports,

               (b)  expressly agrees and acknowledges that Agent does not (i)
make any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any Report, and (ii)
shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report,

               (c)  expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not
comprehensive audits or examinations, that Agent or other party performing any
audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding Companies
and will rely significantly upon the Books, as well as on representations of
Companies' personnel,

               (d)  agrees to keep all Reports and other material, non-public
information regarding Companies and their operations, assets, and existing and
contemplated business plans in a confidential manner in accordance with SECTION
17.8, and

               (e)  without limiting the generality of any other indemnification
provision contained in this Agreement, agrees: (i) to hold Agent and any such
other Lender preparing a Report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender
may take or fail to take or any conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or
draw from any Report in connection with any loans or other credit accommodations
that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to Borrowers, or the
indemnifying Lender's participation in, or the indemnifying Lender's purchase
of, a loan or loans of Borrowers; and (ii) to pay and protect, and indemnify,
defend and hold Agent, and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless
from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses,
and other amounts (including, attorneys fees and costs) incurred by Agent and
any such other Lender preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any
third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the
indemnifying Lender.

In addition to the foregoing: (x) any Lender may from time to time request of
Agent in writing that Agent provide to such Lender a copy of any report or
document provided by

                                     -107-
<Page>

Companies to Agent that has not been contemporaneously provided by Companies to
such Lender, and, upon receipt of such request, Agent shall provide a copy of
same to such Lender, (y) to the extent that Agent is entitled, under any
provision of the Loan Documents, to request additional reports or information
from Companies, any Lender may, from time to time, reasonably request Agent to
exercise such right as specified in such Lender's notice to Agent, whereupon
Agent promptly shall request of Administrative Borrower the additional reports
or information reasonably specified by such Lender, and, upon receipt thereof
from Administrative Borrower, Agent promptly shall provide a copy of same to
such Lender, and (z) any time that Agent renders to Administrative Borrower a
statement regarding the Loan Account, Agent shall send a copy of such statement
to each Lender.

     16.18.    SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS; NO LIABILITY.

               Notwithstanding that certain of the Loan Documents now or
hereafter may have been or will be executed only by or in favor of Agent in its
capacity as such, and not by or in favor of the Lenders, any and all obligations
on the part of Agent (if any) to make any credit available hereunder shall
constitute the several (and not joint) obligations of the respective Lenders on
a ratable basis, according to their respective Commitments, to make an amount of
such credit not to exceed, in principal amount, at any one time outstanding, the
amount of their respective Commitments. Nothing contained herein shall confer
upon any Lender any interest in, or subject any Lender to any liability for, or
in respect of, the business, assets, profits, losses, or liabilities of any
other Lender. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its
Participants of any matters relating to the Loan Documents to the extent any
such notice may be required, and no Lender shall have any obligation, duty, or
liability to any Participant of any other Lender. Except as provided in SECTION
16.7, no member of the Lender Group shall have any liability for the acts or any
other member of the Lender Group. No Lender shall be responsible to any Borrower
or any other Person for any failure by any other Lender to fulfill its
obligations to make credit available hereunder, nor to advance for it or on its
behalf in connection with its Commitment, nor to take any other action on its
behalf hereunder or in connection with the financing contemplated herein.

     16.19.    LEGAL REPRESENTATION OF AGENT.

               In connection with the negotiation, drafting, and execution of

representation relating to loan administration, amendments, modifications,
waivers, or enforcement of remedies, Goldberg, Kohn, Bell, Black, Rosenbloom &
Moritz, Ltd. ("GK") only has represented and only shall represent WFF in its
capacity as Agent and as a Lender. Each other Lender hereby acknowledges that GK
does not represent it in connection with any such matters.

in such capacity) in its capacity as UK Security Trustee to the extent that the
rights, remedies, deliveries, indemnities or other obligations relate to the UK
Stock Pledge Agreement or the security thereby created. Any obligations of Agent
(or any other Person acting in such capacity) in this Agreement shall be
obligations of the Agent in its capacity as UK Security Trustee to the extent
that the obligations related to the UK Stock Pledge Agreement or the security

(or any other Person acting in such capacity) shall have (i) all the rights,

favor of Agent shall be construed so as to include a reference to Liens granted
in favor of UK Security Trustee.

               (d)  The Lenders agree that at any time that the UK Security
Trustee shall be a Person other than Agent, such other Person shall have the
rights, remedies, benefits and powers granted to the Agent in its capacity as UK
Security Trustee in this Agreement.

reasonable advice of its counsel, then, as to any such Voidable Transfer, or the
amount thereof that the Lender Group is required or elects to repay or restore,

     17.8.     CONFIDENTIALITY.

               The Agent, the UK Security Trustee and the Lenders each
individually (and not jointly or jointly and severally) agree that material,

existing and contemplated business plans shall be treated by Agent, UK Security
Trustee and the Lenders in a confidential manner, and shall not be disclosed by
Agent, the UK Security Trustee and the Lenders to Persons who are not parties to
this Agreement, except: (a) to attorneys for and other advisors, accountants,

(c) as may be required by statute, decision, or judicial or administrative
order, rule, or regulation, (d) as may be agreed to in advance by Parent or its

becomes generally available to the public (other than as a result of prohibited
disclosure by Agent, UK Security Trustee or the Lenders), (f) in connection with
any assignment, prospective assignment, sale, prospective sale, participation or
prospective participations, or pledge or prospective pledge of any Lender's

related to the rights or duties of such parties under this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents. The provisions of this SECTION 17.8 shall survive the
payment in full of the Obligations. Anything contained herein or in any other
Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of
confidentiality contained herein and therein, as they relate to the transactions
contemplated hereby, shall not apply to the federal tax structure or federal tax
treatment of such transactions, and each party hereto (and any employee,
representative, or agent of any party hereto) may disclose to any and all
Persons, without limitation of any kind, the federal tax structure and federal
tax treatment of such transactions (including all written materials related to
such tax structure and tax treatment). The preceding sentence is intended to
cause the transactions contemplated hereby to not be treated as having been

     17.10.    MIDWAY AS AGENT FOR BORROWERS.

               Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Midway as the borrowing
agent and attorney-in-fact for all Borrowers (the "ADMINISTRATIVE BORROWER")
which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until Agent
shall have received prior written notice signed by each Borrower that such
appointment has been revoked and that another Borrower has been appointed
Administrative Borrower. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and
authorizes the Administrative Borrower (i) to provide Agent with all notices
with respect to Advances and Letters of Credit obtained for the benefit of any
Borrower and all other notices and instructions under this Agreement and (ii) to
take such action as the Administrative Borrower deems appropriate on its behalf
to obtain Advances and Letters of Credit and to exercise such other powers as
are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this Agreement.
It is understood that the handling of the Loan Account and Collateral of
Borrowers in a combined fashion, as more fully set forth herein, is done solely
as an accommodation to Borrowers in order to utilize the collective borrowing
powers of Borrowers in the most efficient and economical manner and at their
request, and that Lender Group shall not incur liability to any Borrower as a
result hereof. Each Borrower expects to derive benefit, directly or indirectly,
from the handling of the Loan Account and the Collateral in a combined fashion
since the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent on the continued
successful performance of the integrated group. To induce the Lender Group to do
so, and in consideration thereof, each Borrower hereby jointly and severally
agrees to indemnify each member of the Lender Group and hold each member of the
Lender Group harmless against any and all liability, expense, loss or claim of
