        "Adjusted IBOR" means, with respect to any Foreign Currency Loan in any
Foreign Currency for any Interest Period, an interest rate per annum (rounded

               Section 2.01. The Commitments.

               (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement, each Lender severally (and not jointly) agrees, during the
Availability Period (i) to make, Convert and Continue Dollar Loans to the
Company as the Company may request, and (ii) to make and Continue Foreign
Currency Loans to any Foreign Borrower as such Foreign Borrower may request;
provided, however, that in each case: (A) for any Lender, the sum of (1) the
aggregate LC Exposure of such Lender, (2) the aggregate principal amount of all
Dollar Loans made by such Lender, and (3) the Equivalent Amount of the aggregate
principal amount of all Foreign Currency Loans made by such Lender, shall not
exceed such Lender's Commitment at any time, (B) the sum of (1) the aggregate LC
Exposure of all Lenders, (2) the aggregate principal amount of all Dollar Loans
made by all Lenders, (3) the Equivalent Amount of the aggregate principal amount
of all Foreign Currency Loans made by all Lenders, and (4) the aggregate
principal amount of all Competitive Loans made by all Lenders, shall not exceed
the combined Commitments at any time, and (C) the Equivalent Amount of the
aggregate principal amount of all Foreign Currency Loans made by all Lenders
shall not exceed the Foreign Currency Limit at any time. Subject to the
foregoing and other terms and conditions hereof, Committed Loans may be
Borrowed, prepaid and reborrowed as set forth herein without premium or penalty.
The Borrower may Convert a Dollar LIBOR Loan to a Base Rate Loan or a Base Rate
Loan to a Dollar LIBOR Loan upon request, subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement. The Borrower may not Convert a Dollar Loan to a Foreign Currency
Loan, a Foreign Currency Loan to a Dollar Loan or a Loan in one Foreign Currency
to a Loan in any other Foreign Currency. Each Competitive Loan shall be made in
accordance with Section 2.03. The available Commitments also may be utilized by
the Company to obtain Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 2.11.

                                      -29-
<PAGE>

               (b) Committed Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one
or more loan accounts or records maintained by such Lender in the Ordinary
Course of Business. Upon the request of any Lender made through the
Administrative Agent, such Lender's Committed Loans may be evidenced by one or
more Committed Loan Notes, instead of or in addition to loan accounts. (Each
such Lender may endorse on the schedules annexed to its Committed Loan Note the
date, amount and maturity of its Committed Loans and payments with respect
thereto.) Such loan accounts, records or Notes shall be conclusive absent
manifest error of the amount of such Committed Loans and payments thereon. Any
failure so to record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or
otherwise affect the obligation of any Credit Party to pay any amount owing with
respect to the Committed Loans.

               (c) Unless the Administrative Agent and the Requisite Lenders
otherwise consent, Loans with no more than 15 different Interest Periods shall
be outstanding at any one time; provided that for the purposes of this sentence
only, "Loans" shall mean all Loans outstanding under this Agreement, plus all
loans outstanding under the 364-Day Credit Agreement.

               (d) The Company may designate one or more Subsidiaries to become
Foreign Borrowers for purposes of receiving Foreign Currency Loans, provided
that, (i) such Subsidiary is, directly or indirectly through one or more
intermediaries, wholly-owned by the Company, (ii) such Subsidiary is neither
organized nor domiciled in any State of the United States of America or in the
District of Columbia, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall receive a duly
executed Foreign Borrower Joinder Agreement, together with such organization
documentation, certificates, opinions and other documentation and information,
as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to evidence
compliance with the conditions to the effectiveness of such Foreign Borrower
Joinder Agreement described in Section 4.03. Foreign Currency Loans shall be
Borrowed and Continued as Euromarket Funded unless the Administrative Agent,
each Lender and the applicable Foreign Borrower agree that such Foreign Currency
Loans shall be Locally Funded.

               Section 2.02. Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of
Committed Loans.

               (a) A Borrower may irrevocably request a Borrowing, Conversion or
Continuation of Committed Loans in a Minimum Amount by delivering a duly
completed Request for Extension of Credit by Requisite Notice to the
Administrative Agent not later than the Requisite Time. All Borrowings,
Conversions or Continuations in respect of Dollar Loans shall constitute
requests for Base Rate Loans and all Borrowings or Continuations in respect of
Foreign Currency Loans shall constitute requests for Foreign Currency Loans with
an Interest Period of one month, in each case unless properly and timely
otherwise designated as set forth in the prior sentence. In the case of Dollar
LIBOR Loans, each Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent (who
shall

                                      -30-
<PAGE>

promptly notify the applicable Borrower) whether such Lender, in its sole
discretion, consents to funding a Dollar LIBOR Loan for such requested Interest
Period(s) for such Borrowing. If any Lender does not so consent, Dollar LIBOR
Loans shall not be available for such Interest Period(s) for such Borrowing.

               (b) Each Committed Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing
consisting of Committed Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with
their respective Commitments. Promptly following receipt of a Request for
Extension of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of its
Pro Rata Share thereof by Requisite Notice. Each Lender shall make the funds for
its Committed Loan available to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative
Agent's Office not later than the Requisite Time on the Business Day specified
in such Request for Extension of Credit. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the
applicable conditions set forth in Article IV, all funds so received shall be
made available to Borrower.

               (c) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable
Borrower and the Lenders of Adjusted IBOR applicable to any IBOR Loan upon
determination of same.

               (d) No Loans other than Base Rate Loans may be requested or
continued during the existence of a Default or Event of Default. During the
existence of a Default or Event of Default, the Requisite Lenders may determine
that (i) any or all of the then outstanding Dollar Loans that are Dollar LIBOR
Loans shall be Converted to Base Rate Loans and/or (ii) any or all of the
outstanding Foreign Currency Loans with an Interest Period greater than one
month shall be replaced by Foreign Currency Loans with an Interest Period of one
month. Such Conversion or replacement shall be effective upon notice to the
applicable Borrower from the Administrative Agent and shall continue so long as
such Default or Event of Default continues to exist, or in the case of Foreign
Currency Loans, the earlier expiration of the applicable Interest Period.

               (e) If a Committed Loan is to be made on the same date that
another Committed Loan is due and payable, the applicable Borrower or the
Lenders, as the case may be, shall make available to the Administrative Agent
the net amount of funds giving effect to both such Committed Loans and the
effect for purposes of this Agreement shall be the same as if separate transfers
of funds had been made with respect to each such Committed Loan.

               (f) The failure of any Lender to make any Committed Loan on any
date shall not relieve any other Lender of any obligation to make a Committed
Loan on such date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any
other Lender to so make its Committed Loan.

               Section 2.03. Competitive Loans.

                                      -31-
<PAGE>

               (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at any time and
from time to time during the Availability Period, each Lender may in its sole
and absolute discretion make Competitive Loans to the Company in such principal
amounts as the Company may request; provided, however, that the sum of (i) the
aggregate LC Exposure of all Lenders, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all
Dollar Loans made by all Lenders, (iii) the Equivalent Amount at any time of the
aggregate principal amount of all Foreign Currency Loans made by all Lenders,
and (iv) the aggregate principal amount of all Competitive Loans, shall not
exceed at any time the combined Commitments; provided, further, that the
outstanding Competitive Loans made by any Lender may exceed its Commitment. The
Competitive Loans shall be deemed to utilize the combined Commitments by an
amount equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount thereof.

               (b) The Company may irrevocably request Competitive Loans in a
Competitive Loan Minimum Amount therefor by delivering a duly completed
Competitive Bid Request by Requisite Notice not later than the Competitive Loan
Requisite Time therefor. Each Competitive Bid Request shall state whether a
Competitive Bid is requested on the basis of a fixed interest rate (an "Absolute
Rate Bid") or on the basis of a margin above or below Adjusted Dollar LIBOR (a
"LIBOR Margin Bid"). The Company may not request Competitive Bids for more than
three maturities nor request more than one type of Competitive Loan in a single
Competitive Bid Request. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees, in
its sole and absolute discretion, the Company may not submit a Competitive Bid
Request if it has submitted another Competitive Bid Request within the prior
five Business Days.

               (c) No Competitive Bid Request shall be made for an Absolute Rate
Bid with a maturity of less than 14 days or more than 180 days, for a LIBOR
Margin Bid with a maturity other than one, two, three or six months, or in any
case with a maturity date subsequent to the Maturity Date. No more than ten
different maturities for Competitive Loans may be outstanding at any time.

               (d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of
a Competitive Bid Request by delivering a written copy thereof to the Lenders.
Each Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, bid or not bid on all or a
portion of the Competitive Loans requested in such Competitive Bid Request by
delivering by Requisite Notice an irrevocable, duly completed Competitive Bid to
the Administrative Agent by the Competitive Loan Requisite Time for delivering
Competitive Bids. Any Competitive Bid received after such Competitive Loan
Requisite Time, that is in a form other than a duly completed Competitive Bid
Request, or that is otherwise not responsive to the Competitive Bid Request
shall be disregarded. A Lender may subsequently correct any Competitive Bid
containing a manifest error if it does so by the Competitive Loan Requisite Time
for delivering Competitive Bids. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be
required to, notify any Lender of any manifest error it detects in such Lender's
Competitive Bid.

                                      -32-
<PAGE>

               (e) The Competitive Bid Maximum offered by a Lender for any
Competitive Loan(s) requested in a Competitive Bid may be less than the
principal amount of such Competitive Loan(s) requested by the Company, but shall
not be less than the Competitive Loan Minimum Amount for any Competitive Loan
for which such Lender is bidding. Each Competitive Bid shall expire unless
accepted by the Company prior to the Competitive Loan Requisite Time for
accepting Competitive Bids.

               (f) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company of
the names of the Lenders providing conforming Competitive Bids and the terms of
such Competitive Bids. The Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion,
accept or reject any Competitive Bid, or any portion thereof, provided, that if
the Company accepts any Competitive Bid, or any portion thereof, the following
shall apply: (i) the Company must notify the Administrative Agent of its
acceptance of any Competitive Bids not later than the Competitive Loan Requisite
Time for doing so, (ii) the Company must accept all Absolute Rate Bids at all
lower fixed interest rates before accepting any portion of Absolute Rate Bids at
a higher fixed interest rate, (iii) the Company must accept all LIBOR Margin
Bids at all lower margins over Adjusted Dollar LIBOR before accepting any
portion of LIBOR Margin Bids at a higher margin over Adjusted Dollar LIBOR, (iv)
each Competitive Loan to be made must be in a Competitive Loan Minimum Amount
therefor, (v) if two or more Lenders have submitted a Competitive Bid at the
same fixed interest rate or margin, then the Company must accept either all of
such Competitive Bids or accept such Competitive Bids in the same proportion as
the Competitive Bid Maximum of each Lender for such Competitive Loan bears to
the aggregate Competitive Bid Maximums of all such Lenders for such Competitive
Loans (subject to clause (iv) above) and (vi) the Company may not accept
Competitive Bids for an aggregate amount in excess of the Competitive Loans
requested in its Competitive Bid Request.

               (g) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each of the
Lenders whose Competitive Bid, or any portion thereof, has been accepted or
rejected by the Company by telephone, which notification shall promptly be
confirmed in writing, delivered in person or by telecopier to such Lenders. Any
Competitive Bid, or portion thereof, not timely accepted by the Company and/or
timely notified by the Administrative Agent to a Lender as having been accepted
shall be deemed rejected.

               (h) In the case of a LIBOR Margin Bid, the Administrative Agent
shall determine Adjusted Dollar LIBOR on the date which is two Business Days
prior to the date of the proposed Competitive Loan, and shall promptly
thereafter notify the Company and the Lenders whose LIBOR Margin Bids were
accepted by the Company of such Adjusted Dollar LIBOR.

               (i) Each Lender which has had a Competitive Bid, or portion
thereof, accepted by the Company shall make the funds for its Competitive
Loan(s) available to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent's
Office not later than the Requisite Time for making such funds available on the
Business Day specified in such

                                      -33-
<PAGE>

Competitive Loan Request. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the applicable
conditions set forth in Article IV, all funds so received shall be made
available to the Company.

               (j) Each Lender's Competitive Loan shall be evidenced by that
Lender's Competitive Loan Note or by one or more loan accounts or records
maintained by such Lender in the Ordinary Course of Business, in each case
subject to Section 2.01 (b).

               (k) Each Competitive Loan shall be due and payable on the
maturity date of such Competitive Loan.

               Section 2.04. Prepayments.

               (a) The applicable Borrower may at any time and from time to time
voluntarily prepay Committed Loans in a Minimum Amount after delivering an
irrevocable Requisite Notice not later than the Requisite Time for prepayments.
The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender thereof and of such
Lender's Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. Each prepayment by a Borrower must
be made ratably to all outstanding Committed Loans of such Borrower borrowed on
the same day.

               (b) If for any reason either (i) the sum of (A) the aggregate LC
Exposure of all Lenders, (B) the aggregate principal amount of all Dollar Loans
made by all Lenders, (C) the Equivalent Amount of the aggregate principal amount
of all Foreign Currency Loans made by all Lenders and (D) the aggregate
principal amount of all Competitive Loans made by all Lenders, exceeds the
combined Commitments in effect at any time or (ii) the Equivalent Amount of the
aggregate principal amount of all Foreign Currency Loans made by the Lenders
exceeds the Foreign Currency Limit, then upon written request of the
Administrative Agent the Company shall immediately prepay or cause one or more
Foreign Borrowers to immediately prepay Committed Loans sufficient to cure such
overage.

               (c) Any prepayment of an IBOR Loan shall be accompanied by all
accrued interest thereon, together with the costs set forth in Section 3.05.

               (d) Competitive Loans may not be prepaid unless (i) expressly so
provided in the Competitive Bid Request and Competitive Bid for such Competitive
Loan or (ii) otherwise agreed by the Company and the Lender making such
Competitive Loan after notice to the Administrative Agent.

               (e) The Company may from time to time elect to prepay pursuant to
the Guaranty all or part of any Foreign Currency Loan of a Foreign Borrower and
such prepayment by the Company shall be made in the manner and subject to the
terms that a prepayment would be made by the Foreign Borrower under this
Agreement.

               Section 2.05. Voluntary Reduction of Commitments.

                                      -34-
<PAGE>

               The Company shall have the right, at any time and from time to
time, without penalty or charge, upon giving Requisite Notice not later than the
Requisite Time, voluntarily to reduce, permanently and irrevocably, in a Minimum
Amount, or to terminate, the then unused portion of the Commitments, provided
that any such reduction or termination shall be accompanied by payment of all
accrued and unpaid Facility Fees with respect to the portion of the Commitments
being reduced or terminated. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the
Lenders of any reduction or termination of the Commitments under this Section.
Each Lender's Commitment shall be reduced by an amount equal to such Lender's
Pro Rata Share times the amount of such reduction.

               Section 2.06. Principal and Interest.

               (a) If not sooner paid, the outstanding principal amount of each
Committed Loan and Competitive Loan shall be due and payable on the Maturity
Date or, if such Loan is not Continued or Converted, at the end of the
applicable Interest Period.

               (b) Each Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal
amount of the Loans made to it (before and after default, before and after
maturity, before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of
any Insolvency Proceeding) from the date borrowed until paid in full (whether at
stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) on each Interest Payment Date for
each type of Loan at a rate per annum equal to the applicable interest rate
determined in accordance with the definition of such type of Loan in this
Agreement, plus, in the case of IBOR Loans, the Applicable Amount.

               (c) If any amount of principal of or interest on any Loan or any
other amount payable under any Loan Document is not paid in full when due
(whether by acceleration or otherwise) or, in the case of reimbursement
obligations under Section 2.11(e), one Business Day after the date such
reimbursement obligations accrues, each Borrower shall pay interest on such
unpaid amount from the date such amount becomes due (or, in in the case of
reimbursement obligations under Section 2.11(e), one Business Day after the date
such reimbursement obligation accrues) until the date such amount is paid in
full, and after as well as before any entry of judgment thereon, at a
fluctuating rate of interest rate equal to the Default Rate. Accrued and unpaid
interest on past due amounts (including, without limitation, interest on past
due interest) shall be compounded monthly, on the last day of each calendar
month, to the fullest extent permitted by Requirement of Law, and payable on
demand.

               (d) Amounts due under this Agreement in respect of any Loan shall
be deemed paid for the purposes of this Agreement only, in the case of Dollar
Loans, to the extent paid in Dollars or, in the case of Foreign Currency Loans,
to the extent paid in the applicable Foreign Currency. If the Administrative
Agent receives any payment in respect of any Loan in any currency other than the
currency of such Loan (including upon enforcement of or collection of a
judgment), the Administrative Agent may in its sole

                                      -35-
<PAGE>

discretion return such payment to the payor or convert such payment to the
currency of such Loan and apply the net proceeds to payment of amounts due in
respect of such Loan in accordance with this Agreement, provided that (i)
amounts due in respect of such Loan shall be deemed to have been paid by the
Borrower only to the extent of the net proceeds, if any, so applied by the
Administrative Agent and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have no liability
to any Credit Party, Lender or any other Person arising out of or relating to
such conversion of funds or the exchange rate utilized in connection therewith,
in each case except to the extent of the Administrative Agent's own gross
negligence or willful misconduct.

               Section 2.07. Fees.

               (a) Facility Fee. The Company shall pay to the Administrative
Agent, for the account of each Lender, a Facility Fee equal to the Applicable
Amount for the Facility Fee times such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the daily
aggregate amount of the combined Commitments, (determined daily on a per annum
basis). The Facility Fee under the Commitments shall accrue from the Closing
Date to but excluding the Maturity Date and shall be payable quarterly in
arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the Maturity Date. The Facility
Fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears; if there is any change in the
Applicable Amount during any quarter, the average daily amount shall be computed
and multiplied by the Applicable Amount separately for each period that such
Applicable Amount was in effect during such quarter.

               (b) Agency Fee. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent
an agency fee in such amounts and at such times as heretofore agreed upon by
letter agreement between the Company and the Administrative Agent. The agency
fee is for the services to be performed by the Administrative Agent in acting as
Administrative Agent and is fully earned on the date paid. The agency fee paid
to the Administrative Agent is solely for its own account and is nonrefundable.

               (c) Letter of Credit Fees. The Company shall pay

               (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a
        participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of
        Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Amount used to
        determine the interest rate applicable to Committed Loans that are
        Dollar LIBOR Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender's LC
        Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC
        Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date
        to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender's Commitment
        terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC
        Exposure, and

               (ii) to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee and fees with respect of
        the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or
        processing

                                      -36-
<PAGE>

        of drawings thereunder, as may be separately agreed upon between the
        Company and the Issuing Bank.

Participation fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June,
September and December of each year shall be payable on the third Business Day
following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the
Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on
which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on
which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees
payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable as
agreed between the Issuing Bank and the Company. All participation fees shall be
computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual
number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

               Section 2.08. Computation of Fees and Interest. Computations of
(i) interest with respect to Base Rate Loans and (ii) Local Market IBOR (but not
the Applicable Amount or any fees or other amounts) with respect to Foreign
Currency Loans in British Pounds Sterling shall be calculated on the basis of a
year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and the actual number of days
elapsed; computations of interest on all other types of Loans and all fees and
other amounts under this Agreement shall be calculated on the basis of a year of
360 days and the actual number of days elapsed, which results in a higher yield
to the Lenders than a method based on a year of 365 or 366 days. Interest shall
accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made; interest shall not
accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such
portion is paid. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by any Requirement of Law
shall not accrue or be payable hereunder, and any amount paid as interest
hereunder which would otherwise be in excess of such maximum permitted amount
shall instead be treated as a payment of principal.

               Section 2.09. Manner and Treatment of Payments among the Lenders,
Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.

               (a) Unless otherwise provided herein, all payments by any Credit
Party or any Lender hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the
Administrative Agent's Office and account, or to any Person at such place and
account as the Administrative Agent may designate, in immediately available
funds without defense, setoff or counterclaim not later than the Requisite Time.
All payments received after the Requisite Time shall be deemed received on the
next succeeding Business Day. All payments of fees pursuant to Section 2.07
shall be payable by the Company in Dollars. All payments of principal of or
interest on Competitive Loans or Committed Loans other than Foreign Currency
Loans shall be payable in Dollars. All payments of principal of or interest in a
Foreign Currency Loan shall be payable in the applicable Foreign Currency.

                                      -37-
<PAGE>

               (b) Upon satisfaction of any applicable terms and conditions set
forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall promptly make any amounts received
in accordance with the prior subsection available in like funds received as
follows: (i) if payable to any Borrower, by crediting an account of such
Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York City and
designated by such Borrower in the applicable Request for Extension of Credit or
Competitive Bid Request or, if no account is maintained by such Borrower with
the Administrative Agent, then by wire transfer to an account designated in
writing by such Borrower and delivered to Administrative Agent, and (ii) if
payable to any Lender, by wire transfer to such Lender at the address specified
in Schedule 10.02. The Administrative Agent's determination, or any Lender's
determination not contradictory thereto, of any amount payable hereunder shall
be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

               (c) Subject to the definition of "Interest Period," if any
payment to be made by any Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business
Day, payment shall instead be considered due on the next succeeding Business Day
and the extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest and fees.

               (d) Unless any Borrower or Lender has notified the Administrative
Agent prior to the date any payment to be made by it is due, that it does not
intend to remit such payment, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion,
assume that such Borrower or Lender, as the case may be, has timely remitted
such payment and may, in its discretion and in reliance thereon, make available
such payment to the Person entitled thereto. If such payment was not in fact
remitted to the Administrative Agent, then:

               (i) if any Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender
        shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the amount
        of such assumed payment made available to such Lender, together with
        interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such
        amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to
        the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the
        greater of (x) the Federal Funds Rate and (y) such rate as may be
        determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking
        industry rules on interbank compensation; and

               (ii) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall
        on the Business Day following such Credit Date pay to the Administrative
        Agent the amount of such assumed payment made available to the
        applicable Borrower, together with interest thereon in respect of each
        day from and including the date such amount was made available by the
        Administrative Agent to such Borrower to the date such amount is paid to
        the Administrative Agent at the greater of (x) the Federal Funds Rate
        and (y) such rate as may be determined by the Administrative Agent in
        accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
        Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation
        to fulfill its Commitments or to prejudice any rights which the

                                      -38-
<PAGE>

        Administrative Agent or any Borrower may have against any Lender as a
        result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

               (iii) if any Lender failed to make a payment funding a Committed
        Loan, and fails to make such payment on the Business Day following the
        Credit Date, the applicable Borrower shall repay such Lender's failed
        payment funding of such Commitment Loan to the Administrative Agent
        immediately upon receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent
        regarding such failure to pay by any such Lender.

               Section 2.10. Funding Sources. Nothing in this Agreement shall be
deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular
place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has
obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or
manner.

               Section 2.11. Letters of Credit.

               (a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, the Company may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own
account, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the
Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period.
In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit
application or other agreement submitted by the Company to, or entered into by
the Company with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms
and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

               (b) Notice of Issuance, Incorporation, Amendment, Renewal,
Extension; Certain Conditions. Whenever the Company desires to (i) have a Letter
of Credit issued hereunder, (ii) incorporate an existing letter of credit not
issued hereunder as a Letter of Credit for the purposes hereof or (iii) amend,
renew or extend a Letter of Credit outstanding hereunder, the Company shall hand
deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements
for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the
Administrative Agent (not less than three Business Days in advance of the
requested date of issuance, incorporation, amendment, renewal or extension) an
LC Request; specifying information as provided in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit E and such other information as shall be necessary in the determination
of the Issuing Bank to prepare, incorporate, amend, renew or extend such Letter
of Credit. The date of issuance, incorporation, amendment, renewal or extension
specified in such LC Request shall be a Business Day, and the date on which such
Letter of Credit is to expire shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section.
If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Company also shall submit a letter of
credit application on the Issuing Bank's standard form in connection with any
request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued,
incorporated, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance,
incorporation, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the

                                      -39-
<PAGE>

Company shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to
such issuance, incorporation, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC
Exposure shall not exceed $50,000,000 and (ii) the sum of (A) the aggregate LC
Exposure of all Lenders, (B) the aggregate principal amount of all Dollar Loans
made by all Lenders, (C) the Equivalent Amount at any time of the aggregate
principal amount of all Foreign Currency Loans made by all Lenders and (D) the
aggregate principal amount of all Competitive Loans made by all Lenders, shall
not exceed the combined Commitments in effect at any time.

               (c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or
prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the expiration date
requested in the LC Request and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior
to the Maturity Date.

               (d) Participations. By the issuance or incorporation of a Letter
of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof)
pursuant to Section 2.11(b) and without any further action on the part of the
Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and
each Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such
Letter of Credit equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount
available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in
furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank,
such Lender's Pro Rata Share of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank
and not reimbursed by the Company on the date due as provided in paragraph (e)
of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the
Company for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation
to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of
Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance whatsoever (other than a withdrawal of such Letter of Credit from
this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.11(j)), including any amendment, renewal or
extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default
or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall
be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

               (e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC
Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Company shall reimburse such
LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC
Disbursement not later than the LC Requisite Time; provided that, if such LC
Disbursement is not less than $5,000,000, the Company may, subject to the
conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section
2.01 and 2.02 that such payment be financed with a Dollar LIBOR Loan or Base
Rate Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Company's
obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the
resulting Dollar LIBOR Loan or Base Rate Loan. If the Company fails to make such
payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the
applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the

                                      -40-
<PAGE>

Company in respect thereof and such Lender's Pro Rata Share thereof. Promptly
following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative
Agent its Pro Rata Share of the payment then due from the Company, in the same
manner as provided in Section 2.09 with respect to Loans made by such Lender
(and the terms and conditions of Section 2.09 shall apply in the same manner to
all the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall
promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders.
Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the
Company pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute
such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made
payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such
Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by
a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC
Disbursement (other than the funding of Dollar LIBOR Loans or Base Rate Loans as
contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the
Company of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

               (f) Obligations Absolute. The Company's obligation to reimburse
LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and
irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of
Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or
other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged,
fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or
inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of
Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply
with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance
whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for
the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or
provide a right of setoff against, the Company's obligations hereunder. Neither
the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of their
Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in
connection with the issuance, incorporation, transfer or withdrawal of any
Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder
(irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding
sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission
or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any
Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder),
any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from
causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall
not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Company to the
extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in
respect of which are hereby waived by the Company to the extent permitted by
applicable law) suffered by the Company that are caused by the Issuing Bank's
failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents
presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties
hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful

                                      -41-
<PAGE>

misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care
in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting
the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents
presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the
terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion,
either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for
further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary,
or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are
not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

               (g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly
following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a
demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly
notify the Administrative Agent and the Company by telephone (confirmed by
telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or
will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or
delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Company of its obligation to
reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC
Disbursement.

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

               (i) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be
replaced at any time by written agreement among the Company, the Administrative
Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The
Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the
Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the
Company shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced
Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.07(c). From and after the effective date of
any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights
and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters
of Credit to be issued or incorporated thereafter and (ii) references herein to
the term "Issuing Bank" shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any
previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as
the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder,
the replaced Issuing Bank shall

                                      -42-
<PAGE>

remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations
of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued
by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional
Letters of Credit.

               (j) Withdrawal of Outstanding Letters of Credit from Agreement.
The Company may, with the consent of the Issuing Bank issuing such Letter of
Credit, which consent may be given or withheld in its sole discretion, elect to
have any undrawn Letter of Credit issued hereunder no longer deemed to be a
Letter of Credit outstanding hereunder. The Company may make such election by
delivering to the Administrative Agent a Notice of Letter of Credit Withdrawal,
signed by the Company and the Issuing Bank, in the form attached as Exhibit F,
whereupon such letter of credit shall cease to be Letter of Credit for all
purposes hereof.

                                   ARTICLE III

                     TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

               Section 3.01. Taxes. Each payment of any amount payable by any
Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made free and
clear of, and without reduction by reason of, any Applicable Taxes. To the
extent that any Borrower is obligated by any Requirement of Law to make any
deduction or withholding on account of Applicable Taxes from any amount payable
to any Lender under this Agreement, such Borrower shall (i) make such deduction
or withholding and pay the same to the relevant Governmental Authority and (ii)
pay such additional amount to that Lender as is necessary to result in that
Lender's receiving a net after-Applicable Tax amount equal to the amount to
which that Lender would have been entitled under this Agreement absent such
deduction or withholding. If a Lender shall become aware that receipt of such a
payment resulted in an excess payment or credit to that Lender on account of
such Applicable Taxes, that Lender shall promptly refund such excess to such
Borrower. In addition, if any Governmental Authority imposes any penalties,
interest or other liabilities on any Lender by reason of any Borrower failing to
deduct or withhold sufficient amounts on account of Applicable Taxes, or
otherwise, such Borrower shall indemnify such Lender against such penalties,
interest or other liabilities; provided, however, that such Borrower shall not
be obligated to indemnify any Lender for such amounts to the extent arising from
such Lender's failure to act in good faith in promptly notifying such Borrower
thereof within 45 days from the date on which such Lender became aware of such
penalties, interest or other liabilities. Payment by any Borrower under this
Section shall be made within 30 days from the date any Lender makes written
demand for indemnification hereunder, which demand shall set forth in reasonable
detail the calculation of the amount being requested from such Borrower. If a
Lender shall become aware that it is entitled to receive a refund or credit from
a relevant Governmental Authority directly attributable to Applicable Taxes as
to which it has been indemnified by any Borrower pursuant to this Section, it
shall promptly notify such

                                      -43-
<PAGE>

Borrower of the availability of such refund or credit and shall, within 30 days
after receipt of a request by such Borrower (whether as a result of notification
that it has made to such Borrower or otherwise), make a claim to such
Governmental Authority for such refund or credit at such Borrower's expense so
long as making such a claim is not inconsistent with such Lender's internal
policies and is not disadvantageous to such Lender.

               Section 3.02. Illegality.

               (a) If any Lender shall determine that the introduction of any
Requirement of Law after the date hereof, or any change in any Requirement of
Law or in the interpretation or administration thereof after the date hereof,
has made it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority
has asserted after the date hereof that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its
Lending Office to make IBOR Loans, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the
Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the obligation of such Lender
to make IBOR Loans shall be suspended until such Lender shall have notified the
Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) that the circumstances giving
rise to such determination no longer exist; provided, that, if the designation
of an alternative branch or lending office of the Lender will permit the Lender
to make or maintain such IBOR Loans, the Lender will designate such alternative
branch or lending office, subject to its determination that such designation is
not disadvantageous to such Lender.

               (b) If any Lender shall determine that it is unlawful to maintain
any IBOR Loan, the applicable Borrower shall prepay in full all IBOR Loans then
outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon, either on the last day of
the Interest Period thereof if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain
such IBOR Loans to such day, or immediately, if the Lender may not lawfully
continue to maintain such IBOR Loans, together with any amounts required to be
paid in connection therewith pursuant to Section 3.05.

               Section 3.03. Increased Costs and Reduction of Return. If any
Lender shall determine that, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change
(other than any change by way of imposition of or increase in reserve
requirements included in the calculation of Adjusted IBOR) in or in the
interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any
guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority
(whether or not having the force of law, provided that if such guideline or
request does not have the force of law, compliance therewith is customary for
banks regulated in a manner similar to such Lender), after the date hereof,
there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or
making, funding or maintaining any Loans, then the Company shall be liable for,
and shall from time to time, within 10 Business Days after demand therefor by
such Lender, pay to such Lender additional amounts as are sufficient to
compensate such Lender for such increased costs; provided, however, that, if the
designation of an alternative branch or lending office of

                                      -44-
<PAGE>

the Lender will avoid or reduce the amount of such increased costs, the Lender
will designate such alternative branch or lending office, subject to its
determination that such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender.

               Section 3.04. Capital Adequacy. If any Lender shall determine
that (a) the introduction after the date hereof of any Capital Adequacy
Regulation, (b) any change after the date hereof in any Capital Adequacy
Regulation, (c) any change after the date hereof in the interpretation or
administration of any Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central bank or other
Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof, or (d) compliance by such Lender (or its Lending Office) or any
corporation controlling such Lender, with any Capital Adequacy Regulation;
affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be
maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender and (taking
into consideration such Lender's or such corporation's policies with respect to
capital adequacy and such Lender's desired return on capital) determines that
the amount of such capital is increased as a consequence of its Commitments,
Loans, credits or obligations under this Agreement, then, within 10 Business
Days after demand of such Lender, the Company shall upon demand pay to such
Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts
sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increase; provided, however, that,
if the designation of an alternative branch or lending office of the Lender will
avoid or reduce such increased amount the Lender will designate such alternative
branch or lending office, subject to its determination that such designation is
not disadvantageous to such Lender.

               Section 3.05. Breakfunding Costs. Each Borrower agrees to
reimburse each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense
which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of: (a) the failure of
such Borrower to make any payment or prepayment of principal of any IBOR Loan
(including payments made after any acceleration thereof); (b) the failure of
such Borrower to Borrow, Continue or Convert an IBOR Loan after such Borrower
has given a Request for Extension of Credit, (c) if caused by a Credit Party or
as a result of any acceleration of the Loans by reason of a Default or Event of
Default, the prepayment of an IBOR Loan on a day which is not the last day of
the Interest Period with respect thereto, or (d) if caused by a Credit Party or
required by the Requisite Lenders pursuant to Section 2.02(d), the Conversion of
any Dollar LIBOR Loan to a Base Rate Loan or the replacement of any Foreign
Currency Loan with a Foreign Currency Loan with an Interest Period of one month;
including any such loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment
of funds obtained by it to maintain its IBOR Loans hereunder or from fees
payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. Solely
for purposes of calculating amounts payable by any Borrower to a Lender under
this Section, each IBOR Loan (and each related reserve, special deposit or
similar requirement) shall be conclusively deemed to have been funded at
Adjusted IBOR used in determining Adjusted IBOR for such IBOR Loan by a matching
deposit or other

                                      -45-
<PAGE>

borrowing in the relevant currency in the interbank deposit market for a
comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such IBOR Loan is
in fact so funded.

               Section 3.06. Inability to Determine Rates.

               If the Requisite Lenders shall have advised the Agent of the
Requisite Lenders' determination that for any reason adequate and reasonable
means do not exist for ascertaining Adjusted IBOR for any requested Interest
Period with respect to a proposed IBOR Loan or that Adjusted IBOR for any
requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed IBOR Loan does not
adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of funding such Loan, the
Administrative Agent will forthwith give notice of such determination to the
Company. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain IBOR
Loans, as the case may be, hereunder shall be suspended until the Requisite
Lenders revoke such notice in writing to the Company and the Administrative
Agent; provided, however, that no outstanding IBOR Loan shall be terminated
prior to the expiration of the Interest Period unless required by law. Upon
receipt of such notice, any Borrower may revoke any Request for Extension of
Credit then submitted by it. If the Company does not revoke such notice, any
Dollar Loans requested in such notice shall be made, Converted or Continued as
Base Rate Loans instead of Dollar LIBOR Loans.

               Section 3.07. Matters Applicable to all Requests for
Compensation.

               (a) No Borrower shall be required to compensate any Lender under
Section 3.03 or 3.04 for amounts allocable to any period more than 30 days prior
to the date that such Lender initially notifies such Borrower that it intends to
claim compensation under such Sections; provided, however, that if such claim
relates to any cost or increase that has been retroactively imposed upon such
Lender, such Borrower shall be required to compensate such Lender for amounts
allocable to the period since the date such cost or increase was so imposed upon
such Lender, provided that such Lender notifies such Borrower that it intends to
claim such compensation within 60 days of such retroactive cost or increase
having been imposed.

               (b) The Administrative Agent and any Lender shall provide
reasonable detail to the applicable Borrower regarding the manner in which the
amount of any payment to the Administrative Agent or that Lender under this
Article III has been determined, concurrently with demand for such payment. The
Administrative Agent's or any Lender's determination of any amount payable under
this Article III shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

               (c) For purposes of calculating amounts payable under this
Article III any Loans shall be deemed to have been funded at the underlying
applicable interest rate set forth in the definition thereof whether or not such
Loans was, in fact, so funded.

                                      -46-
<PAGE>

               (d) All obligations of any Borrower under this Article III shall
survive termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Loans.

               (e) Upon (i) any Borrower becoming obligated for any taxes with
respect to any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, (ii) any Lender making a claim
for compensation under Section 3.03 or Section 3.04, or (iii) any Lender
invoking Section 3.06, such Lender, upon not less than 10 Business Days'
Requisite Notice from the applicable Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), shall execute and deliver a Notice of Assignment and Acceptance covering
that Lender's Pro Rata Share in favor of such Eligible Assignee as such Borrower
may designate, subject to payment in full by such Eligible Assignee of all
principal, interest, compensation, fees and other amounts owing to such Lender
through the date of assignment, including without limitation all amounts owing
under this Article III. Upon the removal of any Lender, it shall be released
from all obligations and liabilities under any Loan Document. An assignment
pursuant to this Section shall be governed by the provisions of Section 10.05
other than the Minimum Amount limitation therein contained. Alternatively, the
Company may, upon 10 Business Days' notice to the Administrative Agent (who
shall notify each Lender) reduce the combined Commitments by an amount equal to
that Lender's Pro Rata Share (and, for this purpose, no Minimum Amounts shall
apply), and in connection therewith, deliver to the Administrative Agent for the
account of such Lender, the amounts, described in the first sentence above and
release such Lender from its Pro Rata Share.

        Credit by the applicable Foreign Borrower for such Foreign Currency Loan
        by Requisite Notice by the Requisite Time, signed by the Company in
        acknowledgement of its guaranty of such Foreign Currency Loan pursuant
        to this Agreement;

               (ii) Continuation of Representations and Warranties. The
        representations and warranties made by the Credit Parties contained in

        the same effect as if made on and as of such date, except where such

                                    ARTICLE V

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

        The Company and, solely to the extent such representation and warranty
relates to such Foreign Borrower or its Subsidiaries, each Foreign Borrower
represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that:

               Section 5.01. Corporate Existence and Power. Each Credit Party
and each of its corporate Subsidiaries: (a) is a corporation duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
incorporation; (b) has the corporate power and authority and all governmental
licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals to own its assets, carry on its
business and execute, deliver, and perform its obligations, if any, under, the
Loan Documents; (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation, licensed and in
good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or
operation of Property or the conduct of its business requires such
qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing
would not have a Material Adverse Effect; and (d) is in compliance with every
Requirement of Law except where such noncompliance would not have a Material
Adverse Effect. Each Foreign Borrower is, directly or indirectly through one or
more intermediaries, wholly-owned by the Company; and no Foreign Borrower is
organized under the laws of any State of the United States of America or in the
District of Columbia.

               Section 5.02. Corporate Authorization; No Contravention. The
execution, delivery and performance by each Credit Party of each Loan Document
to which it is a party, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
action, and do not and will not: (a) contravene the terms of any of its
Organization Documents; (b) conflict with or result in any breach or
contravention of, or the creation of any Lien under, any document evidencing any
material Contractual Obligation to which it is a party or any order, injunction,
writ or decree of any Governmental Authority to which it or its Property is
subject; or (c) violate any Requirement of Law applicable to it.

               Section 5.03. Governmental Authorization. No approval, consent,
exemption, authorization, or other action by, or notice to, or filing with, any
Governmental Authority is necessary or required in connection with the
execution,

                                      -51-
<PAGE>

delivery or performance by any Credit Party of any Loan Document to which it is
a party, other than routine filings required to be made by it in the Ordinary
Course of Business after the date hereof.

               Section 5.04. Binding Effect. Each Loan Document to which any
Credit Party is a party constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of
each such Credit Party, enforceable against it in accordance with their
respective terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors'
rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability.

               Section 5.05. Litigation. Except as disclosed on Schedule 5.05,
there are no actions, suits, investigations, proceedings, claims or disputes
pending or threatened, at law, in equity, in arbitration or before any
Governmental Authority, against the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their
respective Properties which: (a) purport to affect or pertain to this Agreement,
or any other Loan Document, or any of the Transactions; or (b) have a reasonable
possibility of an adverse decision which would have a Material Adverse Effect.
No injunction, writ, temporary restraining order or any order of any nature has
been issued by any court or other Governmental Authority against any Credit
Party purporting to enjoin or restrain the execution, delivery and performance
of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or directing that the Transactions
not be consummated as herein or therein provided.

               Section 5.06. No Event of Default.

               (a) No Event of Default exists or would result from the incurring
of any Obligations by any Credit Party.

               (b) Except as disclosed on Schedule 5.06, neither the Company nor
any of its Subsidiaries is in default under or with respect to any Contractual
Obligation in any respect which, individually or together with all such
defaults, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

               Section 5.07. ERISA Compliance.

               (a) Schedule 5.07 lists all Plans maintained or sponsored by the
Company or to which it is obligated to contribute, and separately identifies
Plans intended to be Qualified Plans and Multiemployer Plans. Each Plan other
than a Multiemployer Plan is in compliance, and, with respect to each
Multiemployer Plan, the Company has no knowledge that such Multiemployer Plan is
not in compliance, in all material respects with the applicable provisions of
ERISA, the Code and other Federal or applicable state law that is not preempted
by ERISA. Each Qualified Plan has been determined by the Internal Revenue
Service ("IRS") to qualify under Section 401 of the Code, and the trusts created
thereunder have been determined to be exempt from tax under the provisions of
Section 501 of the Code, and to the best knowledge of the

                                      -52-
<PAGE>

Company nothing has occurred which would cause the loss of such qualification or
tax-exempt status.

               (b) There is no outstanding liability (excluding PBGC premiums
due but not delinquent under Section 4001 of ERISA) under Title IV of ERISA with
respect to any Plan maintained or sponsored by the Company or any ERISA
Affiliate (as to which the Company is or may reasonably be expected to be
liable), nor with respect to any Plan to which the Company or any ERISA
Affiliate (wherein the Company is or may be liable) contributes or is obligated
to contribute, which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. None of the Qualified Plans has Unfunded Pension Liabilities as to which
the Company is or may be liable, and which would reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect.

               (c) No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to
occur with respect to any Plan maintained or sponsored by the Company or to
which the Company is obligated to contribute and as to which the Company is or
may reasonably be expected to be liable, and which would reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no pending or, to the best
knowledge of the Company, threatened claims, actions or lawsuits, other than
routine claims for benefits in the usual and ordinary course, asserted or
instituted against (i) any Plan maintained or sponsored by the Company or its
assets, (ii) any member of the Controlled Group with respect to any Qualified
Plan of the Company, or (iii) any fiduciary with respect to any Plan for which
the Company may be directly or indirectly liable, through indemnification
obligations or otherwise which in each case would reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has not transferred any Unfunded Pension
Liability outside of the Controlled Group or otherwise engaged in a transaction
that could be subject to Section 4069 or 4212(c) of ERISA which has a reasonable
likelihood of having a Material Adverse Effect.

               Section 5.08. Regulations T, U and X. Neither any of the Letters
of Credit outstanding hereunder nor the proceeds of any Loan hereunder will be
used, in whole or in part, to purchase or carry, or to extend credit to others
for the purpose of purchasing or carrying, any Margin Stock in violation of
Regulations T, U and X.

               Section 5.09. Taxes. Each Credit Party and its Subsidiaries have
filed all Federal and other material tax returns and reports required to be
filed, and have paid all Federal and other taxes, assessments, fees and other
governmental charges levied or imposed upon them or their Properties, income or
assets otherwise due and payable, except those which are being contested in good
faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been
provided in accordance with GAAP.

               Section 5.10. Financial Condition.

               (a) The audited consolidated financial statements of financial
condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows (i) as of and for
the Fiscal Year ended January 31, 2002, and (ii) as of and for the fiscal
quarter and the portion of the fiscal year ended by April 30, 2002: (A) were
prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the period
covered thereby, except as otherwise expressly noted therein; and (B) are
complete and accurate in all material respects and fairly present, in all
material respects, the financial condition of the Company and its consolidated
subsidiaries as of the date thereof and results of operations for the period
covered thereby.

               (b) Since January 31, 2002, there has been no Material Adverse
Effect.

               (c) Each Foreign Borrower is "solvent" within the meaning given
such term or similar terms under laws applicable to such Person, if any,
prohibiting such Person from borrowing the Loan from the Lenders requested by or
outstanding to such Person or prohibiting the Lenders from making such Loan to
such Person (or any such laws that limit or restrict the Lenders' rights to
enforce their rights and remedies under both this Agreement and the Guaranty) on
account of such Person's financial condition at the time such Loan is made.

               Section 5.11. Environmental Matters. To the knowledge of the
Responsible Officers of the Company, the on-going operations of the Company and
each of its Subsidiaries comply in all respects with all Environmental Laws,
except such non-compliance which would not reasonably be likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Responsible Officers of the
Company, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries have obtained all licenses,
permits, authorizations and registrations required under any Environmental Law
("Environmental Permits") necessary for its ordinary course operations, all such
Environmental Permits are in good standing, and the Company and each of its
Subsidiaries are in compliance with all material terms and conditions of such
Environmental Permits, except where the failure to obtain or maintain such
Environmental Permits or such noncompliance would not be reasonably likely to
have a Material Adverse Effect.

               Section 5.12. Subsidiaries. As of the Closing Date, the Company
has no Subsidiaries other than those specifically disclosed on Schedule 5.12.

               Section 5.13. Insurance. The material real Properties of the
Company and its Subsidiaries are insured with financially sound and reputable
insurance companies (except to the extent self-insurance is permitted pursuant
to Section 6.06), in such amounts, with such deductibles and covering such risks
as are customarily carried by

                                      -54-
<PAGE>

companies engaged in similar businesses and owning similar Properties in
localities where the Company or such Subsidiary operates.

               Section 5.14. Full Disclosure. The Company has made available to
the Lenders all material agreements, instruments and corporate or other
restrictions to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is subject and all reports
or other filings made by the Company under the Exchange Act or Securities Act,
and disclosed, through the reports and other filings made by the Company under
the Exchange Act or Securities Act or otherwise, all other matters known to it
that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Information Memorandum nor any of the
other reports, financial statements, certificates or other information certified
as being true and correct by or on behalf of the Company to the Administrative
Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or
delivered hereunder (as modified or supplemented by other information so
certified) contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state
any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that, with
respect to projected financial information, the Company represents only that
such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to
be reasonable at the time.

               Section 5.15. Public Utility Holding Company Act; Investment
Company Act. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries are a "holding
company", or a "subsidiary company" of a "holding company", within the meaning
of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended. The Company is
not and is not required to be registered as an "investment company" under the
Investment Company Act of 1940.

               Section 5.16. Title to Properties.

               (a) The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has good and
marketable title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all real Property
necessary or used in the ordinary conduct of its business, except for Liens
permitted by Section 7.01 and for such defects in title as would not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

               (b) The Company and each of its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed
to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual
property material to its business, and the use thereof by the Company and its
Subsidiaries does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except for
any such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

any time under this Agreement, or in or under any Loan Document, shall prove to
have been incorrect in any material respect on or as of the date made or deemed

               Section 8.02. Remedies Upon Event of Default. Without limiting
any other rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders provided
for

                                      -64-
<PAGE>

elsewhere in this Agreement, or the other Loan Documents, or by any Requirement
of Law, or in equity, or otherwise:

               (a) Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of any Event
of Default other than an Event of Default described in Section 8.01(f) or
8.01(g) in respect of any Credit Party,

               (i) the Requisite Lenders may request the Administrative Agent
        to, and the Administrative Agent thereupon shall, terminate the
        Commitments and/or declare all or any part of the unpaid principal of
        all Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, all obligations
        relating to the LC Exposure at such time and all other amounts payable
        under the Loan Documents to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the
        same shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without protest,
        presentment, notice of dishonor, demand or further notice of any kind,
        all of which are expressly waived by such Credit Party; and

               (ii) on the Business Day that the Company receives notice from
        the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders (or, if the maturity
        of the Loans has been accelerated pursuant to clause (i) above, Lenders
        with LC Exposure representing 51% or more of the total LC Exposure)
        demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this clause (ii),
        the Company shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent,
        in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the
        Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date,
        which amount shall be applied as provided in Section 8.02(f).

               (b) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in
Section 8.01(f) or 8.01(g) in respect of any Credit Party,

               (i) the Commitments and all other obligations of the
        Administrative Agent or the Lenders and all rights of any Credit Party
        under the Loan Documents shall terminate without notice to or demand
        upon such Credit Party, which are expressly waived by such Credit Party
        and the unpaid principal of all Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid
        thereon, all obligations relating to the LC Exposure at such time and
        all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents shall be forthwith
        due and payable, without protest, presentment, notice of dishonor,
        demand or further notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived
        by any Credit Party; and

               (ii) the Company shall forthwith deposit in an account with the
        Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for
        the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure,
        which amount shall be immediately due and payable, without protest,
        presentment, notice of dishonor, demand or further notice of any kind,
        all of which are expressly waived by any Credit Party, and shall be
        applied as provided in Section 8.02(f).

                                      -65-
<PAGE>

               (c) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the
Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Requisite Lenders, or may with
the consent of the Requisite Lenders, without notice to (except as expressly
provided for in any Loan Document) or demand upon any Credit Party, which are
expressly waived by any Credit Party (except as to notices expressly provided
for in any Loan Document), proceed to protect, exercise and enforce the rights
and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Loan
Documents against any Credit Party and such other rights and remedies as are
provided by Requirement of Law or equity.

               (d) The rights provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other rights, powers,
privileges or remedies provided by law or in equity, or under any other
instrument, document or agreement not existing or hereafter arising.

               (e) The order and manner in which the Lenders' rights and
remedies are to be exercised shall be determined by the Requisite Lenders in
their sole discretion, and all payments received by the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders, or any of them, shall be applied first to the costs and expenses
(including reasonable Attorneys Costs incurred by the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders), and thereafter paid pro rata to the Lenders in the same
proportions that the aggregate Obligations owed to each Lender under the Loan
Documents bear to the aggregate Obligations owed under the Loan Documents to all
the Lenders, without priority or preference among the Lenders. Regardless of how
each Lender may treat payments for the purpose of its own accounting, for the
purpose of computing any Credit Party's Obligations hereunder, payments shall be
applied first, to the costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders, as set forth above, second, to the payment of accrued and unpaid
interest due under any Loan Documents to and including the date of such
application (ratably, and without duplication, according to the accrued and
unpaid interest due under each of the Loan Documents), and third, to the payment
of all other amounts (including principal and fees) then owing to the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders under the Loan Documents. No application of
payments will cure any Event of Default, or prevent acceleration, or continued
acceleration, of amounts payable under the Loan Documents, or prevent the
exercise, or continued exercise, of rights or remedies of the Lenders hereunder
or thereunder or under any Requirement of Law or in equity.

               (f) Cash collateral deposited with the Administrative Agent upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 8.02(a)
or clause (ii) of Section 8.02(b) shall be held by the Administrative Agent as
collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Company
under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and
control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over funds so deposited
and shall invest and reinvest such funds in short-term instruments in the manner
and to the extent the Administrative Agent deems consistent with the use of such
funds as collateral for the performance of the Company's obligations hereunder.
Other than any interest earned on the investment or reinvestment

                                      -66-
<PAGE>

of such funds in accordance with the preceding sentence, all investment and
reinvestment shall be made at the Company's risk and expense and the cash
collateral deposited shall not bear interest for the account of the company.
Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such
account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to
reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been
reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction
of the reimbursement obligations of the Company for the LC Exposure at such time
or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the
consent of Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 51% of the total
LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Company under this
Agreement. If the Company is required to provide an amount of cash collateral
hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to
the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Company within
three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                            THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

               Section 9.01. Appointment and Authorization. Subject to Section
9.07, each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative
Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers
under the Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the
terms thereof or are reasonably incidental, as determined by the Administrative
Agent, thereto. This appointment and authorization is intended solely for the
purpose of facilitating the servicing of the Loans and does not constitute
appointment of the Administrative Agent as trustee for any Lender or as
representative of any Lender for any other purpose and, except as specifically
set forth in the Loan Documents to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall
take such action and exercise such powers only in an administrative and
ministerial capacity.

               Section 9.02. Administrative Agent and Affiliates. JPMorgan Chase
Bank (and each successor Administrative Agent) has the same rights and powers
under the Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though
it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term "Lender" or "Lenders"
includes JPMorgan Chase Bank in its individual capacity. JPMorgan Chase Bank
(and each successor Administrative Agent) and its Affiliates may accept deposits
from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other
business with any Credit Party, any Subsidiary thereof, or any Affiliate of any
Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof, as if it were not the Administrative
Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. JPMorgan Chase
Bank (and each successor Administrative Agent) need not account to any other
Lender for any monies received by it for reimbursement of its costs and expenses
as Administrative Agent hereunder, or for any monies received by it in any

                                      -67-
<PAGE>

other capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to hold a fiduciary
relationship with any Lender and no implied covenants, functions,
responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this
Agreement or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent, regardless of
whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

               Section 9.03. Lenders' Credit Decisions. Each Lender agrees that
it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any
other Lender or the directors, officers, agents, employees or attorneys of the
Administrative Agent or of any other Lender, and instead in reliance upon
information supplied to it by or on behalf of the Company and upon such other
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own independent credit
analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also agrees that
it shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any
other Lender or the directors, officers, agents, employees or attorneys of the
Administrative Agent or of any other Lender, continue to make its own
independent credit analyses and decisions in acting or not acting under the Loan
Documents.

               Section 9.04. Action by Administrative Agent.

               (a) Absent actual knowledge of the Administrative Agent of the
existence of a Default, the Administrative Agent may assume that no Default has
occurred and is continuing, unless the Administrative Agent (or the Lender that
is then the Administrative Agent) has received notice from any Credit Party
stating the nature of the Default or has received notice from a Lender stating
the nature of the Default and that such Lender considers the Default to have
occurred and to be continuing.

               (b) The Administrative Agent has only those duties under the Loan
Documents as are expressly set forth therein.

               (c) Except for any obligation expressly set forth in the Loan
Documents and as long as the Administrative Agent may assume that no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may, but shall
not be required to, exercise its discretion to act or not act, except that the
Administrative Agent shall be required to act or not act upon the instructions
of the Requisite Lenders (or of all the Lenders, to the extent required by
Section 10.01) and those instructions shall be binding upon the Administrative
Agent and all the Lenders, provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be
required to act or not act if to do so would be contrary to any Loan Document or
to any applicable Requirement of Law or would result, in the reasonable judgment
of the Administrative Agent, in substantial risk of liability to the
Administrative Agent.

               (d) If the Administrative Agent has received a notice specified
in subsection (a), the Administrative Agent shall immediately give notice
thereof to the Lenders and shall act or not act upon the instructions of the
Requisite Lenders, or of all

                                      -68-
<PAGE>

the Lenders, as required hereunder, provided that the Administrative Agent shall
not be required to act or not act if to do so would be contrary to any Loan
Document or to any applicable Requirement of Law or would result, in the
reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, in substantial risk of
liability to the Administrative Agent, and except that if the Requisite Lenders,
or all the Lenders, if required hereunder, fail, for five Business Days after
the receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent, to instruct the
Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may
act or not act as it deems advisable for the protection of the interests of the
Lenders.

               (e) The Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any
Lender for acting, or not acting, as instructed by the Requisite Lenders, or all
the Lenders, if required hereunder, notwithstanding any other provision hereof.

               Section 9.05. Liability of Administrative Agent. Neither the
Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or
attorneys shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by them under or in
connection with the Loan Documents, except for their own gross negligence or
willful misconduct. Without limitation on the foregoing, the Administrative
Agent and its directors, officers, agents, employees and attorneys:

               (a) May treat any Lender as a Lender until the Administrative
Agent receives notice of the assignment or transfer thereof, in form
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, signed by the payee, and may treat
each Lender as the owner of that Lender's interest in the Obligations for all
purposes of this Agreement until the Administrative Agent receives notice of the
assignment or transfer thereof, in form satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent, signed by that Lender.

               (b) May consult with legal counsel (including in-house legal
counsel), accountants (including in-house accountants) and other professionals
or experts selected by it, or with legal counsel, accountants or other
professionals or experts for the Credit Parties and/or their Subsidiaries or the
Lenders, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in good
faith in accordance with any advice of such legal counsel, accountants or other
professionals or experts.

               (c) Shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statement,
warranty or representation made in any of the Loan Documents or in any notice,
certificate, report, request or other statement (written or oral) given or made
in connection with any of the Loan Documents.

               (d) Except to the extent expressly set forth in the Loan
Documents, shall have no duty to ask or inquire as to the performance or
observance by the Company or its Subsidiaries of any of the terms, conditions or
covenants of any of the Loan Documents or to inspect the Property, books or
records of the Company or its Subsidiaries.

                                      -69-
<PAGE>

               (e) Will not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution,
legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, effectiveness, sufficiency or
value of any Loan Document, any other instrument or writing furnished pursuant
thereto or in connection therewith.

               (f) Will not incur any liability by acting or not acting in
reliance upon any Loan Document, notice, consent, certificate, statement,
request or other instrument or writing believed by it to be genuine and signed
or sent by the proper party or parties.

               (g) Will not incur any liability for any arithmetical error in
computing any amount paid or payable by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary or
Affiliate thereof or paid or payable to or received or receivable from any
Lender under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, principal,
interest, Facility Fees, Loans and other amounts; provided that, promptly upon
discovery of such an error in computation, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders
and (to the extent applicable) such Credit Party and/or its Subsidiaries or
Affiliates shall make such adjustments as are necessary to correct such error
and to restore the parties to the position that they would have occupied had the
error not occurred.

               Section 9.06. Indemnification. Each Lender shall, ratably in
accordance with its Pro Rata Share (if the Commitments are then in effect) or in
accordance with its proportion of the aggregate outstanding Loans (if the
Commitments have then been terminated), indemnify and hold the Administrative
Agent and its Affiliates, directors, officers, agents, employees and attorneys
harmless against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any
kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, Attorneys Costs that
may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it or them in any way
relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents (other than Loan losses
incurred by reason of the failure of any Credit Party to pay the Loans) or any
action taken or not taken by it as Administrative Agent thereunder, except such
as result from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without
limitation on the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative
Agent upon demand for that Lender's Pro Rata Share of any out-of-pocket cost or
expense incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the negotiation,
preparation, execution, delivery, amendment, waiver, restructuring,
reorganization (including a bankruptcy reorganization), enforcement or attempted
enforcement of the Loan Documents, to the extent that any Credit Party is
required by Section 10.04 to pay that cost or expense but fails to do so upon
demand. Nothing in this Section 9.06 shall entitle the Administrative Agent to
recover any amount from the Lenders if and to the extent that such amount has
theretofore been recovered from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. To the
extent that the Administrative Agent is later reimbursed such cost or expense by
any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, it shall return the amounts paid to
it by the Lenders in respect of such cost or expense.

               Section 9.07. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative
Agent may, and at the request of the Requisite Lenders shall, resign as
Administrative Agent upon 30 days' notice to the Lenders and the Company. If the
Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement,
the Company shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor Administrative
Agent for the Lenders, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, in which case such successor administrative agent shall be selected
from among the Lenders by the Requisite Lenders. If no successor Administrative
Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the
Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting
with the Lenders and the Company, a successor administrative agent from among
the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor administrative
agent hereunder, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to all the
rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term
"Administrative Agent" shall mean such successor administrative agent and the
retiring Administrative Agent's appointment, powers and duties as Administrative
Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation
hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article IX, and
Sections 10.04 and 10.16 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this
Agreement. If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as
Administrative Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring
Administrative Agent's notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative
Agent's resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the
Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder
until such time, if any, as a successor administrative agent is appointed as
provided for above.

               Section 9.08. No Obligations of Credit Parties. Nothing contained
in this Article IX shall be deemed to impose upon any Credit Party any
obligation in respect of the due and punctual performance by the Administrative
Agent of its obligations to the Lenders under any provision of this Agreement,
and, except as expressly provided in any Articles of the Agreement other than
this Article IX, no Credit Party shall have liability to the Administrative
Agent or any of the Lenders in respect of any failure by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender to perform any of its obligations to the Administrative
Agent or the Lenders under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, where any provision of this Agreement relating to the payment of
any amounts due and owing under the Loan Documents provides that such payments
shall be made by any Credit Party to the Administrative Agent for the account of
the Lenders, such Credit Party's obligations to the Lenders in respect of such
payments shall be deemed to be satisfied upon the making of such payments to the
Administrative Agent in the manner provided by this Agreement.

               Section 9.09. Documentation Agent; Syndication Agent. None of the
Lenders identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as
Documentation Agent or Syndication Agent shall have any right, power,
obligation, liability or responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than
those applicable to all

                                      -71-
<PAGE>

Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders so
identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relations with any
Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on
any of the Lenders so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in
taking any action hereunder.

                                    ARTICLE X

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

Credit Party is a party, signed by such Credit Party and, in the case of any

Administrative Agent, signed by the Administrative Agent), and then only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose given; and, without the approval
in writing of each Lender affected thereby, no amendment, modification,

increase the amount of the Commitment or the Pro Rata Share of such Lender, or
to decrease the amount of any Facility Fee payable to such Lender, or any other
fee or amount payable to such Lender under the Loan Documents or to waive an
Event of Default consisting of the failure of any Credit Party to pay when due

               (b) To postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of,

requires the consent or approval of all the Lenders.

Any amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or consent pursuant
to this Section shall apply equally to, and shall be binding upon, all the
Lenders and the Administrative Agent.

provided, however, that notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article

               Section 10.03. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to
exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any Lender or the
Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, any right, remedy, power or privilege

Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders provided herein or other Loan Document

                                      -73-
<PAGE>

               (a) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges
and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent), J.P. Morgan
Securities, Salomon Smith Barney and Citicorp USA, Inc. in connection with the
syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and
administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of
the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby shall be consummated), and

               (b) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any
counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in connection with the
enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement after
a Default or Event of Default, including its rights under this Section, or in
connection with Letters of Credit or Loans made hereunder, including all such
out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or
negotiations in respect of such Letters of Credit or Loans.

               Section 10.05. Binding Effect; Assignment.

               (a) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which each of
the Credit Parties is a party will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
each Credit Party, the Administrative Agent, each of the Lenders, and their
respective successors and assigns, except that (i) no Credit Party may assign
its rights hereunder or thereunder or any interest herein or therein without the
prior written consent of all the Lenders, and (ii) no Lender may assign or
transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this
Section. Any Lender may at any time pledge its Note or any other instrument
evidencing its rights as a Lender under this Agreement to a Federal Reserve
Lender, but no such pledge shall release that Lender from its obligations
hereunder or grant to such Federal Reserve Lender the rights of a Lender
hereunder absent foreclosure of such pledge.

               (b) From time to time following the Closing Date, each Lender may
assign to one or more assignees all or any portion of its Pro Rata Share;
provided that so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, (i) such
assignee is an Eligible Assignee, and (ii) if such assignee is not then a
Lender, an Affiliate of the assigning Lender or a CLO administered or managed by
the assigning Lender or an Affiliate of the assigning Lender, shall be approved
by each of the Administrative Agent and the Company (neither of which approvals
shall be unreasonably withheld or delayed; it being understood that it shall not
be deemed unreasonable to withhold such consent if based solely on the desire to
avoid the payment of additional costs or taxes), and (iii) except in the case of
an assignment to an Affiliate of the assigning Lender, to a CLO administered or
managed by the assigning Lender or an Affiliate of the assigning Lender, to
another Lender or of the entire remaining Commitment of the assigning Lender;
the assignment shall not assign a Pro Rata Share which is equivalent to less
than the Minimum Amount therefor. A copy of a Notice of Assignment and
Acceptance shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent

                                      -74-
<PAGE>

with respect to any assignment. The effective date of any such assignment shall
be as specified in the Notice of Assignment and Acceptance, but not earlier than
the date which is five Business Days after the date the Administrative Agent has
received the Notice of Assignment and Acceptance. Upon acceptance by the
Administrative Agent of such Notice Assignment and Acceptance, the Eligible
Assignee named therein shall be a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement,
with the Pro Rata Share therein set forth and, to the extent of such Pro Rata
Share, the assigning Lender shall be released from its further obligations under
this Agreement. Each Credit Party agrees that it shall execute and deliver upon
request (against delivery by the assigning Lender to such Credit Party of any
Note) to such assignee Lender, one or more Notes evidencing that assignee
Lender's Pro Rata Share, and to the assigning Lender if requested, one or more
Notes evidencing the remaining balance Pro Rata Share retained by the assigning
Lender.

               (c) By executing and delivering a Notice of Assignment and
Acceptance, the Eligible Assignee thereunder acknowledges and agrees that: (i)
other than the representation and warranty that it is the legal and beneficial
owner of the Pro Rata Share being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse
claim, the assigning Lender has made 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 or sufficiency of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document; (ii) the assigning Lender has made no representation or
warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition
of any Credit Party or the performance by any Credit Party of the Obligations;
(iii) it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most
recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.01 and 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; (iv) it
will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any
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; (v) it appoints and authorizes the Administrative
Agent to take such action and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as
are delegated to the Administrative Agent by this Agreement; and (vi) it will
perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms
of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

               (d) After receipt of a completed Notice of Assignment and
Acceptance, and receipt of an assignment fee of $3,500 from such Eligible
Assignee, the Administrative Agent shall, promptly following the effective date
thereof, provide to the Company and the Lenders a revised Schedule 10.02 giving
effect thereto.

               (e) Each Lender may from time to time grant participations to one
or more banks or other financial institutions (including another Lender) in a
portion of its Pro Rata Share; provided, however, that (i) such Lender's
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall
remain solely responsible to

                                      -75-
<PAGE>

the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the
participating banks or other financial institutions shall not be a Lender
hereunder for any purpose except, if the participation agreement so provides,
for the purposes of Article III but only to the extent that the cost of such
benefits to the Company does not exceed the cost which the Company would have
incurred in respect of such Lender absent the participation, (iv) the Credit
Parties, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal
solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and
obligations under this Agreement, (v) the participation shall not restrict an
increase in the Commitments or in the granting Lender's Pro Rata Share, so long
as the amount of the participation interest is not affected thereby and (vi) the
consent of the holder of such participation interest shall not be required for
amendments or waivers of provisions of the Loan Documents other than those which
(A) extend the Maturity Date as to such participant or any other date upon which
any payment of money is due to such participant, (B) reduce the rate of interest
owing to such participant, any fee or any other monetary amount owing to such
participant or (C) reduce the amount of any installment of principal owing to
such participant. A Lender granting a participation in accordance with this
clause (e) shall give Requisite Notice to the Company on by executing and
delivering a Notice of Participation no later than 5 Business Days after the
effective date of such participation.

               Section 10.06. Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender severally agrees
that if it, through the exercise of any right of setoff, banker's lien or
counterclaim against any Credit Party or otherwise, receives payment of the
Obligations held by it that is ratably more than all Extensions of Credit
(including Competitive Loans) made by any other Lender, through any means, then,
subject to any applicable Requirement of Law: (a) the Lender exercising the
right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim or otherwise receiving such
payment shall purchase, and shall be deemed to have simultaneously purchased,
from the other Lenders a participation in the Obligations held by the other
Lenders and shall pay to the other Lenders a purchase price in an amount so that
the share of the Obligations held by each Lender after the exercise of the right
of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim or receipt of payment shall be in the
same proportion that existed prior to the exercise of the right of setoff,
banker's lien or counterclaim or receipt of payment; and (b) such other
adjustments and purchases of participations shall be made from time to time as
shall be equitable to ensure that all of the Lenders share any payment obtained
in respect of the Obligations ratably in accordance with each Lender's share of
the Obligations immediately prior to, and without taking into account, the
payment; provided that, if all or any portion of a disproportionate payment
obtained as a result of the exercise of the right of setoff, banker's lien,
counterclaim or otherwise is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender by
such Credit Party or any Person claiming through or succeeding to the rights of
such Credit Party, the purchase of a participation shall be rescinded and the
purchase price thereof shall be restored to the extent of the recovery, but
without interest. Each Lender that purchases a participation in the Obligations
pursuant to this Section shall from and after the purchase have the right to
give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under
this

                                      -76-
<PAGE>

Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same
extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the
Obligations purchased. Each Credit Party expressly consents to the foregoing
arrangements and agree that any Lender holding a participation in an Obligation
so purchased may, to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable Requirement
of Law, exercise any and all rights of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim
with respect to the participation as fully as if the Lender were the original
owner of the Obligation purchased.

               Section 10.07. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by
one or more of the parties to this Agreement in any number of separate
counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, and
all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute but one
and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the
parties shall be lodged with the Company and the Administrative Agent.

               Section 10.08. Severability. The illegality or unenforceability
of any provision of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required
hereunder shall not in any way affect or impair the legality or enforceability
of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement
required hereunder.

               Section 10.09. No Third Parties Benefited. This Agreement is made
and entered into for the sole protection and legal benefit of the Credit
Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and their permitted
successors and assigns, and no other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal
beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in
connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Neither the
Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to any Person not
a party to this Agreement or other Loan Documents.

               Section 10.10. Time. Time is of the essence as to each term or
provision of this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents.

ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

AND ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, COUNTY OF
NEW YORK AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH CREDIT PARTY
CONSENTS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. EACH CREDIT PARTY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY REQUIREMENT OF LAW, ANY
OBJECTION,

                                      -77-
<PAGE>

INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM
NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION
OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT
RELATED HERETO. EACH CREDIT PARTY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY SUMMONS,
COMPLAINT OR OTHER PROCESS, WHICH MAY BE MADE BY ANY OTHER MEANS PERMITTED BY
NEW YORK LAW.

               Section 10.12. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE CREDIT PARTIES, THE
LENDERS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT EACH WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A
TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF
ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY OF THE PARTIES AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR ANY
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT-RELATED PERSON, PARTICIPANT OR ASSIGNEE, WHETHER WITH
RESPECT TO CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, OR OTHERWISE. THE CREDIT PARTIES, THE
LENDERS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT EACH AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF
ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE
FOREGOING, THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY
JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR
OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR
ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY PROVISION
HEREOF OR THEREOF. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS,
RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS.

               Section 10.13. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with
the other Loan Documents, embodies the entire agreement and understanding
between the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and
supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings of such
Persons, verbal or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof,
and any prior arrangements made with respect to the payment by the Credit
Parties of (or any indemnification for) any fees, costs or expenses payable to
or incurred (or to be incurred) by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or
any Lender.

               Section 10.14. Interpretation. This Agreement is the result of
negotiations between and has been reviewed by counsel to the Administrative
Agent, the Lenders, the Company and other parties, and is the product of all
parties hereto. Accordingly, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall
not be construed against the Administrative Agent or any Lender merely because
of the Administrative

                                      -78-
<PAGE>

Agent's or any Lender's involvement in the preparation of such documents and
agreements.

               Section 10.15. Nature of Lenders' Obligations. The obligations of
the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint or joint and several. Nothing
contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document and no action taken by
the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any of them pursuant hereto or
thereto may, or may be deemed to, make the Lenders a partnership, an
association, a joint venture or other entity, either among themselves or with
any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party. Each Lender's obligation
to make any Loan pursuant hereto is several and not joint or joint and several.
A default by any Lender will not increase the Pro Rata Share attributable to any
other Lender. Any Lender not in default may, if it desires, assume in such
proportion as the nondefaulting Lenders agree the obligations of any Lender in
default, but is not obligated to do so. The Administrative Agent agrees that it
will use its best efforts either to induce the other Lenders to assume the
obligations of a Lender in default or to obtain another Lender, reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, to replace such a Lender in default.

               Section 10.16. Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

               (a) The Company shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each
Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person
being called an "Indemnitee") against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from,
any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including
the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred
by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as
a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or
instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their
respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any
other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds
therefrom, (iii) any exchange or conversion of currencies in connection with
Section 2.06 or otherwise, (iv) the issuance of any Letter of Credit or (v) the
failure of the Issuing Bank to honor a drawing under any Letter of Credit as a
result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any Governmental
Authority, (vi) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials
on or from any property owned or operated by any Credit Party or any of its
Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to any Credit
Party or any of its Subsidiaries or (vii) any actual or prospective claim,
litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing,
whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether
any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to
any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or related expenses resulted from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee. As between the Company and the Issuing Bank, the
Company assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of a Letter of
Credit by, a beneficiary of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in
limitation of

                                      -79-
<PAGE>

the foregoing, no Indemnitee shall be responsible for any of the following: (A)
the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effects of any
documents submitted by any party in connection with the request and application
for and issuance of any Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be
in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged;
(B) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or
purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or rights or benefits
thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be
invalid or ineffective for any reason whatsoever; (C) any failure of a
beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply with any condition of drawing
thereunder; (D) any errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission
or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise,
whether or not in cipher; (E) any error in interpretation; (F) any loss or delay
in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a
drawing under any Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (G) any
misapplication by a beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any
drawing thereunder; or (H) any consequences arising from or related to events or
circumstances beyond the control of the Issuing Bank, including any act or
omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any Governmental Authority. In
furtherance and not in limitation of the specific provisions herein set forth,
any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Bank under or in connection with any
Letter of Credit or related certificates, if taken or omitted in good faith,
shall not result in or give rise to any liability of any Indemnitee to the
Company.

               (b) The Company shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each
Lender for funding costs or funding losses (excluding loss of margin) if
prepayment or conversion of a IBOR Loan occurs prior to the end of an Interest
Period, if caused or requested by any Credit Party or if any Credit Party fails
to consummate a IBOR Loan because conditions precedent to borrowing or
conversion are not satisfied.

               Section 10.17. Nonliability of the Lenders. Each Credit Party
acknowledges and agrees that the relationship between each Credit Party and the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders is, and shall at all times remain, solely
that of borrowers and lenders; neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders
shall under any circumstance be construed to be partners or joint venturers of
any Credit Party or its Affiliates; neither the Administrative Agent nor the
Lenders shall under any circumstance be deemed to be in a relationship of
confidence or trust or a fiduciary relationship with any Credit Party or its
Affiliates, or to owe any fiduciary duty to any Credit Party or its Affiliates;
neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders undertake or assume any
responsibility or duty to any Credit Party or its Affiliates to select, review,
inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform such Credit Party or its
Affiliates of any matter in connection with its Property or the operations of
such Credit Party or its Affiliates; each Credit Party and its Affiliates shall
rely entirely upon their own judgment with respect to such matters; and any
review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information
undertaken or assumed by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in connection
with such matters is solely for the protection of the Administrative Agent

                                      -80-

and the Lenders and neither any Credit Party nor any other Person is entitled to
rely thereon.

               Section 10.18. Failure to Charge Not Subsequent Waiver. Any
decision by the Administrative Agent or any Lender not to require payment of any
interest (including Default Interest), fee, cost or other amount payable under
any Loan Document, or to calculate any amount payable by a particular method, on
any occasion shall in no way limit or be deemed a waiver of the Administrative
Agent's or such Lender's right to require full payment of any interest
(including Default Interest), fee, cost or other amount payable under any Loan
Document, or to calculate an amount payable by another method that is not
inconsistent with this Agreement, on any other or subsequent occasion.

               Section 10.19. Headings. Section headings in this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents are included for convenience of reference only and are
not part of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents for any other purpose.

               Section 10.20. Foreign Lenders and Participants. Each Lender, and
each holder of a participation interest herein, that is a "foreign corporation,
partnership or trust" within the meaning of the Code shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent, (a) within 20 days after the Closing Date, or (b) prior to
accepting an assignment or receiving a participation interest herein in respect
of Dollar Loans, two duly signed completed copies of either Form W-8BEN
(relating to such Person and entitling it to a complete exemption from
withholding on all payments to be made to such Person by any Credit Party
pursuant to this Agreement) or Form W-8ECI (relating to all payments to be made
to such Person by any Credit Party pursuant to this Agreement) of the United
States Internal Revenue Service or such other evidence (including, if reasonably
necessary, Form W-8 or W-9) satisfactory to the Company and the Administrative
Agent that no withholding under the U.S. federal income tax laws is required
with respect to such Person. Thereafter and from time to time, each such Person
shall (a) promptly submit to the Administrative Agent two such additional duly
completed and signed copies of one of such forms (or such successor forms as
shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing
authorities) as may then be available under then current United States laws and
regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is satisfactory to the Company and the
Administrative Agent of any available exemption from, United States withholding
taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Person by the Company
pursuant to this Agreement and (b) take such steps as shall not be materially
disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be
reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office, if
any) to avoid any Requirement of Law that the Company make any deduction or
withholding for taxes from amounts payable to such Person. If such Person fails
to timely deliver the above forms or other documentation, then the
Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Person an
amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax imposed by Sections 1441 and
1442 of the Code, without reduction. If any Governmental Authority asserts that
the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold

                                      -81-
<PAGE>

any tax or other amount from payments made in respect of such Person, such
Person shall indemnify the Administrative Agent therefor, including all
penalties and interest and costs and expenses (including reasonable Attorneys
Fees of the Administrative Agent. The obligation of the Lenders under this
Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations and the resignation or
replacement of the Administrative Agent.

               Section 10.21. Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees to hold any
confidential information that it may receive from any Credit Party pursuant to
this Agreement in confidence, except for disclosure: (a) to a Lender's
Affiliates; (b) to other Lenders and their Affiliates; (c) to legal counsel and
accountants for any Credit Party or any Lender; (d) to other professional
advisors to any Credit Party or any Lender, provided that the recipient has
accepted such information subject to a confidentiality agreement substantially
similar to this Section; (e) to regulatory officials having jurisdiction over
that Lender; (f) as required by Requirement of Law or legal process or in
connection with any legal proceeding to which that Lender and any Credit Party
is adverse parties; and (g) to another financial institution in connection with
a disposition or proposed disposition to that financial institution of all or
part of that Lender's interests hereunder or a participation interest in its
Loans, provided that the recipient has agreed to treat such information
confidentially on a basis similar to the foregoing. For purposes of the
foregoing, "confidential information" shall mean any information respecting any
Credit Party or its Subsidiaries reasonably considered by such Credit Party to
be confidential, other than (i) information previously filed with any
Governmental Authority and available to the public, (ii) information previously
published in any public medium from a source other than, directly or indirectly,
that Lender, and (iii) information previously disclosed by any Credit Party to
any Person on a non-confidential basis. Nothing in this Section shall be
construed to create or give rise to any fiduciary duty on the part of the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders to any Credit Party.

          If no election as to the Type of Revolving Borrowing is specified,
then the requested Revolving Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest
Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Revolving
Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period
of one month's duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in
accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender
of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender's Loan to be made as
part of the requested Borrowing.

          SECTION 2.04. Competitive Bid Procedure. (a) Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, from time to time during the Availability Period
the Borrower may request Competitive Bids and may (but shall not have any
obligation to) accept Competitive Bids and borrow Competitive Loans; provided
that the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures plus the aggregate
principal amount of outstanding Competitive Loans at any time shall not exceed
the total Commitments. To request Competitive Bids, the Borrower shall notify
the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone, in the case of a
Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, four
Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing and, in the case of a
Fixed Rate Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, one
Business Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing; provided that the
Borrower may submit up to (but not more than) three Competitive Bid Requests on
the same day, but a Competitive Bid Request shall not be made within five
Business Days after the date of any previous Competitive Bid Request, unless any
and all such previous Competitive Bid Requests shall have been withdrawn or all
Competitive Bids received in response thereto rejected. Each such telephonic
Competitive Bid Request shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy
to the Administrative Agent of a written Competitive Bid Request in a form
approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower. Each such
telephonic and written Competitive Bid Request shall specify the following
information in compliance with Section 2.02:

          (i) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing;

          (ii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

          (iii) whether such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing or a
     Fixed Rate Borrowing;

          (iv) the Interest Period to be applicable to such Borrowing, which
     shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term "Interest
     Period"; and

          (v) the location and number of the Borrower's account to which funds
     are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section
     2.06.

Promptly following receipt of a Competitive Bid Request in accordance with this
Section, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of the details
thereof by telecopy, inviting the Lenders to submit Competitive Bids.

          (b) Each Lender may (but shall not have any obligation to) make one or
more Competitive Bids to the Borrower in response to a Competitive Bid Request.
Each Competitive Bid by a Lender must be in a form approved by the
Administrative Agent and must be received by the Administrative Agent by
telecopy, in the case of a Eurodollar Competitive Borrowing, not later than 9:30
a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the proposed date of such
Competitive Borrowing, and in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing, not later than
9:30 a.m., New York City time, on the proposed date of such Competitive
Borrowing. Competitive Bids that do not conform substantially to the form
approved by the Administrative Agent may be rejected by the Administrative
Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Lender as
promptly as practicable. Each Competitive Bid shall specify (i) the principal
amount (which shall be a minimum of $5,000,000 and an integral multiple of
$1,000,000 and which may equal the entire principal amount of the Competitive
Borrowing requested by the Borrower) of the Competitive Loan or Loans that the
Lender is willing to make, (ii) the Competitive Bid Rate or Rates at which the
Lender is prepared to make such Loan or Loans (expressed as a percentage rate
per annum in the form of a decimal to no more than four decimal places) and
(iii) the Interest Period applicable to each such Loan and the last day thereof.

          (c) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower by
telecopy of the Competitive Bid Rate and the principal amount specified in each
Competitive Bid and the identity of the Lender that shall have made such
Competitive Bid.

          (d) Subject only to the provisions of this paragraph, the Borrower may
accept or reject any Competitive Bid. The Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent by telephone, confirmed by telecopy in a form approved by
the Administrative Agent, whether and to what extent it has decided to accept or
reject each Competitive Bid, in the case of a Eurodollar Competitive Borrowing,
not later than 10:30 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the
date of the proposed Competitive Borrowing, and in the case of a Fixed Rate
Borrowing, not later than 10:30 a.m., New York City time, on the proposed date
of the Competitive Borrowing; provided that (i) the failure of the Borrower to
give such notice shall be deemed to be a rejection of each Competitive Bid, (ii)
the Borrower shall not accept a Competitive Bid made at a particular Competitive
Bid Rate if the Borrower rejects a Competitive Bid made at a lower Competitive
Bid Rate, (iii) the aggregate amount of the Competitive Bids accepted by the
Borrower shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the requested Competitive
Borrowing specified in the related Competitive Bid Request, (iv) to the extent
necessary to comply with clause (iii) above, the Borrower may accept Competitive
Bids at the same Competitive Bid Rate in part, which acceptance, in the case of
multiple Competitive Bids at such Competitive Bid Rate, shall be made pro rata
in accordance with the amount of each such Competitive Bid, and (v) except
pursuant to clause (iv) above, no Competitive Bid shall be accepted for a
Competitive Loan unless such Competitive Loan is in a minimum principal amount
of $5,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000; provided further that if a
Competitive Loan must be in an amount less than $5,000,000 because of the
provisions of clause (iv) above, such Competitive Loan may be for a minimum of
$1,000,000 or any integral multiple thereof, and in calculating the pro rata
allocation of acceptances of portions of multiple Competitive Bids at a
particular Competitive Bid Rate pursuant to clause (iv) the amounts shall be
rounded to integral multiples of $1,000,000 in a manner determined by the
Borrower. A notice given by the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph shall be
irrevocable.

          (e) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each bidding Lender
by telecopy whether or not its Competitive Bid has been accepted (and, if so,
the amount and Competitive Bid Rate so accepted), and each successful bidder
will thereupon become bound, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, to make
the Competitive Loan in respect of which its Competitive Bid has been accepted.

          (f) If the Administrative Agent shall elect to submit a Competitive
Bid in its capacity as a Lender, it shall submit such Competitive Bid directly
to the Borrower at least one

<PAGE>

                                                                              16

quarter of an hour earlier than the time by which the other Lenders are required
to submit their Competitive Bids to the Administrative Agent pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this Section.

          SECTION 2.05. Extension of Termination Date and/ or Maturity Date. (a)
The Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly
deliver a copy to each of the Lenders) given not less than 45 days and not more
than 60 days prior to the Termination Date then in effect, request that the
Lenders extend the Termination Date for an additional period of not more than
364 days as specified in such notice. Any such notice shall specify any fees
that the Borrower agrees to pay as consideration for such extension, any changes
to the Applicable Rates that will apply during the term of such extension and
the amendments, if any, to the covenants contained herein or other provisions
hereof proposed by the Borrower to be applicable during the term of such
extension. Each Lender shall, by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent given not earlier than the 30th day and not later than the 20th day prior
to the Termination Date then in effect, advise the Borrower whether or not it
agrees to such extension on the terms set forth in such notice. Any Lender that
has not so advised the Administrative Agent by such day shall be deemed to have
declined to agree to such extension.

          (b) If the Borrower shall have requested and the Lenders shall have
agreed to an extension of the Termination Date, then the Termination Date shall
be extended for the additional period and on the terms specified in the
Borrower's notice provided for under paragraph (a) and, if such terms vary from
those contained in this Agreement, the Borrower and the extending Lenders shall
enter into an amendment to this Agreement to be effective as of the Termination
Date in effect prior to such extension pursuant to which such terms shall be
given effect; provided, that any extension of the Termination Date shall be
subject to the satisfaction, on and as of such Termination Date, of the
conditions set forth in Section 4.02(a) and (b) (and the Borrower shall be
deemed to have represented as of such Termination Date that such conditions have
been satisfied).

          (c) The decision to agree or withhold agreement to any requested
extension of the Termination Date hereunder shall be at the sole discretion of
each Lender. The Commitment of any Lender that has declined to agree to any
requested extension of the Termination Date (a "Non-Extending Lender") shall
terminate on the Termination Date in effect prior to giving effect to any such
extension (the "Existing Termination Date"), and the principal amount of any
outstanding Loans made by such Lender, together with any accrued interest
thereon and any accrued fees and other amounts payable hereunder, shall be due
and payable on the Existing Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
pursuant to Section 2.18(b), the Borrower shall have the right to replace a
Non-Extending Lender with a Lender or other financial institution that will
agree to an extension of the Termination Date.

          (d) In the event that the Termination Date in effect at any time shall
not have been extended by the Lenders or any of them as provided in paragraphs
(a) through (c) above, the Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent
(which shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders) given not less than
10 days and not more than 20 days prior to such Termination Date, extend the
Maturity Date to a date not later than the first anniversary of such Termination
Date; provided, that any such extension of the Maturity Date shall be subject to
the satisfaction, on and as of such Termination Date, of the conditions set
forth in Section 4.02(a) and (b) (and the Borrower shall be deemed to have
represented as of such Termination Date that such conditions have been
satisfied). Loans repaid or prepaid after the Termination Date may not be
reborrowed.

          SECTION 2.06. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each
Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of
immediately available funds by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, to the account of
the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by
notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available
to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so

<PAGE>

                                                                              17

received, in like funds, to an account designated by the Borrower in the
applicable Borrowing Request or Competitive Bid Request.

          (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a
Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not
make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's share of such
Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such
share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section
and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a
corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share
of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the
applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative
Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for
each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the
Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at
(i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate
and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking
industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower,
the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to
the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender's Loan
included in such Borrowing.

          SECTION 2.07. Interest Elections. (a) Each Revolving Borrowing
initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request
and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, shall have an initial
Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower
may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such
Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, may elect
Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may
elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected
Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the
Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising
each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall
not apply to Competitive Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

          (b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall
notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a
Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were
requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be
made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest
Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand
delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election
Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the
Borrower.

          (c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall
specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

          (i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and,
     if different options are being elected with respect to different portions
     thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing
     (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii)
     and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

          (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest
     Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

          (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a
     Eurodollar Borrowing; and

          (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the
     Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such
     election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the
     term "Interest Period".

<PAGE>

                                                                              18

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does
not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have
selected an Interest Period of one month's duration.

          (d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the
Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such
Lender's portion of each resulting Borrowing.

          (e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election
Request with respect to a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing prior to the end of the
Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as
provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be
converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent,
at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long
as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Revolving Borrowing may
be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid,
each Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at
the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

          SECTION 2.08. Termination of Commitments; Reductions and Increases of
Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate
on the Termination Date.

          (b) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time
reduce, the Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments
shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $10,000,000 and (ii) the
Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect
to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the
sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures plus the aggregate principal amount of
outstanding Competitive Loans would exceed the total Commitments.

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

          (d) The Borrower may on one or more occasions, by written notice to
the Administrative Agent, executed by the Borrower and one or more financial
institutions (any such financial institution referred to in this Section being
called an "Increasing Lender"), which may include any Lender, cause Commitments
to be extended by the Increasing Lenders (or cause the Commitments of the
Increasing Lenders to be increased, as the case may be) in an amount for each
Increasing Lender (which shall not be less than $10,000,000) set forth in such
notice; provided, that (i) no extension of new Commitments or increase in
existing Commitments pursuant to this paragraph may result in the aggregate
Commitments exceeding $400,000,000, (ii) an increase in Commitments under this
Agreement shall only occur if the Commitments under the Three-Year Credit
Agreement shall be simultaneously increased by a like amount, (iii) each
Increasing Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall be subject to the
approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld) and (iv) each Increasing Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder,
shall become a party to this Agreement by

<PAGE>

                                                                              19

completing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a duly executed accession
agreement in a form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower
(an "Accession Agreement"). New Commitments and increases in Commitments shall
become effective on the date specified in the applicable notices delivered
pursuant to this paragraph. Upon the effectiveness of any Accession Agreement to
which any Increasing Lender is a party, (i) such Increasing Lender shall
thereafter be deemed to be a party to this Agreement and shall be entitled to
all rights, benefits and privileges accorded a Lender hereunder and subject to
all obligations of a Lender hereunder and (ii) Schedule 2.01 shall be deemed to
have been amended to reflect the Commitment of such Increasing Lender as
provided in such Accession Agreement. Upon the effectiveness of any increase
pursuant to this Section in the Commitment of a Lender already a party hereto,
Schedule 2.01 shall be deemed to have been amended to reflect the increased
Commitment of such Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the
aggregate Commitments (or in the Commitment of any Lender) shall become
effective under this Section unless, on the date of such increase, the
Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate, dated as of the
effective date of such increase and executed by a Financial Officer of the
Borrower, to the effect that the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b)
of Section 4.02 shall be satisfied (with all references in such paragraphs to a
Borrowing being deemed to be references to such increase). Following any
extension of a new Commitment or increase of a Lender's Commitment pursuant to
this paragraph, any Revolving Loans outstanding prior to the effectiveness of
such increase or extension shall continue outstanding until the ends of the
respective Interests Periods applicable thereto, and shall then be repaid and,
if the Borrower shall so elect, refinanced with new Revolving Loans made
pursuant to Section 2.01(a) ratably in accordance with the Commitments in effect
following such extension or increase.

          SECTION 2.09. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower
hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan
on the Maturity Date and (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the account of
each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Competitive Loan on the
last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan.

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

          (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall
record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof
and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or
interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each
Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative
Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender's share thereof.

          (d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph
(b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and
amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any
Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error
therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay
the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

          (e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a
promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver
to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if
requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a
form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by
such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after
assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory
notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such
promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

                                                                              20

          SECTION 2.10. Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower shall have the
right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in
part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section;
provided that the Borrower shall not have the right to prepay any Competitive
Loan without the prior consent of the Lender thereof.

          (b) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone
(confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of
prepayment of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New
York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the
case of prepayment of an ABR Revolving Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New
York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable
and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing
or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is
given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments
as contemplated by Section 2.08, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked
if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08.
Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing,
the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each
partial prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing shall be in an amount that would
be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type
as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be
applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments
shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12.

          SECTION 2.11. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee, which shall
accrue at the Applicable Rate on the daily amount of the Commitment of such
Lender (whether used or unused) during the period from and including the
Effective Date of this Agreement to but excluding the date on which such
Commitment terminates; provided that, if such Lender continues to have any
Revolving Credit Exposure after its Commitment terminates, then such facility
fee shall continue to accrue on the daily amount of such Lender's Revolving
Credit Exposure from and including the date on which its Commitment terminates
to but excluding the date on which such Lender ceases to have any Revolving
Credit Exposure. Accrued facility fees shall be payable in arrears on the last
day of March, June, September and December of each year, on any date prior to
the Termination Date on which the Commitments terminate and on the Maturity
Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof; provided
that any facility fees accruing after the Maturity Date shall be payable on
demand. All facility fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days
and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first
day but excluding the last day).

          (b) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the
account of each Lender, a utilization fee at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the
Revolving Credit Exposure of such Lender (i) for each day, from and including
the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which the
Commitment of such Lender is terminated and the date on which such Lender ceases
to have any Revolving Credit Exposure, on which the aggregate amount of the
Lenders' Revolving Credit Exposures exceeds 33.33% of the aggregate amount of
the Commitments and (ii) for each day after the Termination Date. Accrued
utilization fees shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of March,
June, September and December of each year, on any date prior to the Termination
Date on which the Commitments terminate and on the Maturity Date; provided that
any utilization fees accruing after the Maturity Date shall be payable on
demand. All utilization fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360
days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the
first day but excluding the last day).

          (c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its
own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon
between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

                                                                              21

                  (d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due,
in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, in
the case of facility fees and utilization fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall
not be refundable under any circumstances.

                  SECTION 2.12. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR
Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable
Rate.

                  (b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear
interest (i) in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Loan, at the Adjusted LIBO
Rate for the Interest Period in effect for the Borrowing of which such Loan is a
part plus the Applicable Rate, or (ii) in the case of a Eurodollar Competitive
Loan, at the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for the Borrowing of
which such Loan is a part plus (or minus, as applicable) the Margin applicable
to such Loan.

                  (c) Each Fixed Rate Loan shall bear interest at the Fixed Rate
applicable to such Loan.

                  (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or
interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower
hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or
otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before
judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of
any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the
preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2%
plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this
Section.

                  (e) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears
on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans,
upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant
to paragraph (d) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event
of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR
Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on
the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such
repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any
Eurodollar Revolving Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period
therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date
of such conversion.

                  (f) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a
year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate
Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall
be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and
in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including
the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate,
Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent,
and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

                  SECTION 2.13. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the
commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

                  (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination
          shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and
          reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate
          or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or

                  (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required
          Lenders (or, in the case of a Eurodollar Competitive Loan, the Lender
          that is required to make such Loan) that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the
          LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately
          and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or

<PAGE>

                                                                              22

          maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for
          such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the
Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and,
until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the
circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest
Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or
continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be
ineffective, (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Revolving
Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing and (iii) any
request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Competitive Borrowing shall be
ineffective; provided that (A) if the circumstances giving rise to such notice
do not affect all the Lenders, then requests by the Borrower for Eurodollar
Competitive Borrowings may be made to Lenders that are not affected thereby and
(B) if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of
Borrowings, then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted.

                  SECTION 2.14. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

                  (i)   impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special
          deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for
          the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such
          reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or

                  (ii)  impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any
          other condition, cost or expense, affecting this Agreement or
          Eurodollar Loans or Fixed Rate Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such
Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or Fixed Rate Loan (or of
maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any
sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal,
interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender, such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional
costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

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

                  (d)   Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand
compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such
Lender's right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not
be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased
costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such
Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased
costs or

<PAGE>

                                                                              23

reductions and of such Lender's intention to claim compensation therefor;
provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs
or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be
extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

                  (e)   Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section, a Lender shall not be entitled to compensation pursuant to this Section
in respect of any Competitive Loan if the Change in Law that would otherwise
entitle it to such compensation shall have been publicly announced prior to
submission of the Competitive Bid pursuant to which such Loan was made.

                  SECTION 2.15. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the
payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan or Fixed 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 Eurodollar Loan other than on
the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to
borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan or Fixed Rate Loan on
the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of
whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.10(b) and is revoked in
accordance therewith), (d) the failure to borrow any Competitive Loan after
accepting the Competitive Bid to make such Loan, or (e) the assignment of any
Eurodollar Loan or Fixed Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest
Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to
Section 2.18, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender
for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a
Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to
include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the
amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan
had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been
applicable to such Loan, 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 for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on
such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender
would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar
deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar
market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that
such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section and explaining in
reasonable detail the method by which such amount or amounts shall have been
determined shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on
any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

                  SECTION 2.16. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account
of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and
without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the
Borrower shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as
necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions
applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative
Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it
would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall
make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted
to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

                  (b)   In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to
the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

                  (c)   The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent
and each Lender within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full
amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent
or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on
account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes
or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under
this Section) and any penalties, interest, additions to tax and reasonable
expenses arising

<PAGE>

                                                                              24

therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or
liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent
on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest
error.

                  (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower
shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a
receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of
the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

                  (e) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or
reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the
Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with
respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a
copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable
law, such properly completed and executed documentation, if any, as shall be
prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower to permit
such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

                  (f) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its
sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to
which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the
Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, it shall pay
over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments
made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.16 with
respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without
interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority
with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of
the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to
the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the
relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in
the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such
refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to
require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns
(or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to
the Borrower or any other Person.

                  SECTION 2.17. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing
of Set-offs. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it
hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees, or of amounts payable under
Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, New York City
time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or
counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the
discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the
next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All
such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 270
Park Avenue, New York, New York, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.14,
2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The
Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the
account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following
receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a
Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding
Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest
thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments
hereunder shall be made in dollars.

                  (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and
available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal,
interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first,
towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the
parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees
then

<PAGE>

                                                                              25

due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due
hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the
amounts of principal then due to such parties.

                  (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or
counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or
interest on any of its Revolving Loans resulting in such Lender receiving
payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans
and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender,
then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at
face value) participations in the Revolving Loans of other Lenders to the extent
necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the
Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and
accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans; provided that (i) if any
such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving
rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the
purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and
(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any
payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express
terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for
the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee
or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate
thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower
consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so
under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the
foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and
counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were
a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

                  (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice
from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower
will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the
Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in
reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such
event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the
Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on
demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each
day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but
excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the
Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent
in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

                  (e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to
be made by it pursuant to Section 2.06(b) or 2.17(d), then the Administrative
Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof),
apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the
account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender's obligations under such Sections
until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

                  SECTION 2.18. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower
is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental
Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then such
Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for
funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations
hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment
of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce
amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be, in the
future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or
expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower
hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in
connection with any such designation or assignment.

                                                                              26

          (b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the
Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16,
or if any Lender shall not agree to a requested extension of the Termination
Date pursuant to Section 2.05, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to
fund Loans hereunder, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort,
upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to
assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the
restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and
obligations under this Agreement (other than any outstanding Competitive Loans
held by it) to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee
may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i)
the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall
have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its
Loans (other than Competitive Loans), accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and
all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of
such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in
the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment
resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required
to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction
in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any
such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by
such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require
such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

                                   ARTICLE III

                         Representations and Warranties

          The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders that:

          SECTION 3.01. Organization; Powers. The Borrower and each Subsidiary
is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power and authority to carry
on its business as now conducted and is qualified to do business in, and is in
good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required,
except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

          SECTION 3.02. Authorization; Enforceability. The Transactions are
within the Borrower's corporate powers and have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate and, if required, stockholder action. This Agreement has
been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and constitutes a legal, valid
and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its
terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
or other laws affecting creditors' rights generally and subject to general
principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity
or at law.

          SECTION 3.03. Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions
(a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or
any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except such as have been
obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (b) will not violate any
applicable law or regulation or the charter, by-laws or other organizational
documents of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any order of any
Governmental Authority, (c) will not violate or result in a default under any
indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries or its assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any
payment to be made by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and (d) will not
result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries.

<PAGE>

                                                                              27

          SECTION 3.04. Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change. (a) The
Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Lenders (i) its consolidated balance
sheet and statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows as of and
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, reported on by independent public
accountants, and (ii) its consolidated balance sheet and statements of income
and cash flows as of and for the fiscal quarter and the portion of the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2002, certified by its chief financial officer. Such
financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position and results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower and its
consolidated Subsidiaries as of such dates and for such periods in accordance
with GAAP, subject to year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes in
the case of the statements referred to in clause (ii) above.

          (b) Since December 31, 2001, there has been no material adverse change
in the business, assets, operations, prospects or condition, financial or
otherwise, of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

          SECTION 3.05. Properties. (a) Each of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its real
and personal property necessary or used in the ordinary conduct of its business,
except for such defects in title as would not, individually or in aggregate,
result in a Material Adverse Effect.

          (b) Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to
use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual
property material to its business, and the use thereof by the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except for
any such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

          SECTION 3.06. Litigation and Environmental Matters. (a) Except as
disclosed in the Borrower's periodic reports filed prior to the date hereof
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, there are no actions, suits or
proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending
against or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened in writing against the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (i) that are reasonably likely to result in
a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) that involve this Agreement or the
Transactions.

          (b) Except as disclosed in the Borrower's periodic reports filed prior
to the date hereof under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and except with
respect to any other matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, neither the
Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) has failed to comply with any
Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or
other approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to
any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received notice of any claim with respect
to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any basis for any Environmental
Liability.

          SECTION 3.07. Compliance with Laws and Agreements. The Borrower and
each Subsidiary is in compliance with all laws, regulations and orders of any
Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property and all indentures,
agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property, except where
the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Default has occurred and is
continuing.

          SECTION 3.08. Investment and Holding Company Status. Neither the
Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is (a) an "investment company" as defined
in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940 or (b) a
"holding company" as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Public
Utility Holding Company Act of 1935.

          SECTION 3.09. Taxes. The Borrower and each Subsidiary has timely filed
or caused to be filed all Tax returns and reports required to have been filed
and has paid or caused to

<PAGE>

                                                                              28

be paid all Taxes required to have been paid by it, except (a) Taxes that are
being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which the
Borrower or such Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate
reserves or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so could not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

          SECTION 3.10. ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably
expected to occur that, when taken together with all other ERISA Events since
December 31, 1995, for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value
of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan (based on the assumptions
used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did
not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such
amounts, exceed by more than $25,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of
such Plan, and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all
underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most
recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than

under which they were made, not misleading; provided that, with respect to
projected financial information, the Borrower represents only that such
information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be
reasonable at the time.

only for the purposes set forth in the preamble to this Agreement. No part of
the proceeds of any Loan will be used, whether directly or indirectly, for any

     payable;

          (g) any event or condition occurs that results in any Material
     Indebtedness becoming due prior to its scheduled maturity or that enables

     judgment creditor to attach or levy upon any assets of the Borrower or any
     Subsidiary to enforce any such judgment;

          (l) an ERISA Event shall have occurred that when taken together with

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                            The Administrative Agent

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

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

          The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations
except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or
other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is
continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any
discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary
rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is
required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such
other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the
circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set
forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and
shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the
bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken
by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other
number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the
circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross
negligence or wilful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to
have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given
to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative
Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into
(i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this
Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document
delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or
observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set
forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of
this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the
satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other
than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the
Administrative Agent.

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

          The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and
exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents
appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such
sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers
through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the
preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related

<PAGE>

                                                                              38

Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to
their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit
facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

          Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor
Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may
resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such
resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the
Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed
by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days
after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then
the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a
successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York,
New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its
appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor
shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and
duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative
Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees
payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as
those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower
and such successor. After the Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder, the
provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the
benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their
respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

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

          It is agreed that the Syndication Agent and Co-Documentation Agents
shall, in their capacities as such, have no duties or responsibilities under
this Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                                  Miscellaneous

          SECTION 9.01. Notices. (a) Except in the case of notices and other
communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone (and subject to
paragraph (b) below), all notices and other communications provided for herein
shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service,
mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by telecopy, as follows:

          (i) if to the Borrower, to it at Ten Penn Center, 1801 Market Street,

     (Telecopy No. (215) 977-3559) with a copy to the General Counsel;

          (ii) if to the Administrative Agent, to JPMorgan Chase Bank, Loan and
     Agency Services Group, One Chase Manhattan Plaza, 8th Floor, New York, New

     with a copy to JPMorgan Chase Bank, 600 Travis Street, 20th Floor, Houston,
     Texas 77002, Attention of Mr. Russell Johnson (Telecopy No. (713)
     216-8870); and

                                                                              39

          (iii) if to any other Lender, to it at its address (or telecopy
     number) set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire.

          (b) Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be
delivered or furnished by electronic communications pursuant to procedures
approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not
apply to notices pursuant to Article II unless otherwise agreed by the
Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. The Administrative Agent or the
Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other
communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to
procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be
limited to particular notices or communications.

          (c) Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for
notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties
hereto. All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been
given on the date of receipt.

          SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to
enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not
exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of
any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower
therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by
paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not
be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the
Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such
Default at the time.

          (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived,
amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing
entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no
such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the
written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or
reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder,
without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the
scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any interest
thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse
any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any
Commitment, including pursuant to Section 2.05 (provided that nothing herein
shall limit the right of the Borrower to extend the Maturity Date pursuant to
Section 2.05(d) without the consent of any Lender), without the written consent
of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.17(b) or (c), or any
other provision of this Agreement, in a manner that would alter the pro rata
sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each
Lender, or (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of
"Required Lenders" or any other provision hereof specifying the number or
percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or
make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written
consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend,
modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent
hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

          SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrower
shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents and
their Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of
Cravath, Swaine & Moore, counsel for the Agents, in connection with the
syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the

<PAGE>

                                                                              40

preparation and administration of this Agreement or any amendments,
modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (whether or not the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated) and (ii) all
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents or any Lender, including the fees,
charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Agents or any Lender, in
connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with
this Agreement, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with
the Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred
during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.

          (b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Agents and each Lender, and each
Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an
"Indemnitee") against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees,
charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or
asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a
result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or
instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their
respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any
other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds
therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous
Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim,
litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing,
whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether
any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to
any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross
negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

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

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

          (e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after
written demand therefor.

          SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i)
the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any
attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be
null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or
obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this
Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person
(other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this
Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties
of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable
right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

                                                                              41

          (b)(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below,
any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights
and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written
consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

          (A)  the Borrower; provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be
required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved
Fund (as defined below) or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, any other assignee; and

          (B)  the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the
Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to an assignee that is
a Lender immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment.

          (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional
conditions:

          (A)  except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate
of a Lender, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to
each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption
with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall
not be less than $5,000,000 or, if smaller, the entire remaining amount of the
assigning Lender's Commitment, unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
shall otherwise consent, provided that (i) in the event of concurrent
assignments to two or more assignees that are Affiliates of one another, or to
two or more Approved Funds managed by the same investment advisor or by
affiliated investment advisors, all such concurrent assignments shall be
aggregated in determining compliance with this subsection and (ii) no such
consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing;

          (B)  each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a
proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under
this Agreement, provided that this clause shall not apply to rights in respect
of outstanding Competitive Loans.

          (C)  the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing
and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that in the event of concurrent
assignments to two or more assignees that are Affiliates of one another, or to
two or more Approved Funds managed by the same investment advisor or by
affiliated investment advisors, only one such fee shall be payable;

          (D)  the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and

          (E)  in the case of an assignment to a CLO (as defined below), unless
such assignment (or an assignment to a CLO managed by the same manager or an
Affiliate of such manager) shall have been approved by the Borrower (the
Borrower hereby agreeing that such approval, if requested, will not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), the assigning Lender shall retain the sole
right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement, except that the Assignment and Assumption between such Lender and
such CLO may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of such CLO,
agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to
Section 9.02(b) that affects such CLO.

          For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the terms "Approved Fund"
and "CLO" have the following meanings:

          "Approved Fund" means (a) a CLO and (b) with respect to any Lender
that is a fund which invests in bank loans and similar extensions of credit, any
other fund that invests in

<PAGE>

                                                                              42

bank loans and similar extensions of credit and is managed by the same
investment advisor as such Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor.

          "CLO" means any entity (whether a corporation, partnership, trust or
otherwise) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing
in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its
business and is administered or managed by a Lender or an Affiliate of such
Lender.

          (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to
paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified
in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party
hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement,
and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest
assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations
under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering
all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such
Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a
Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with
this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by
such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with
paragraph (c) of this Section.

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

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

          (c)(i) Any Lender may, without notice to or the consent of the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent sell participations to one or more banks or
other entities (a "Participant") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment
and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender's obligations under
this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations
and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to
deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's
rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument
pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such
Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any
amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided
that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without
the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver
described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant.
Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each
Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and

<PAGE>

                                                                              43

2.16 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by
assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by
law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as
though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to
Section 2.17(c) as though it were a Lender.

          (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater
payment under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16 than the applicable Lender would have
been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such
Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made
with the Borrower's prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign
Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16
unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant
and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with
Section 2.16(e) as though it were a Lender.

          (d)  Any Lender, without notice to or the consent of the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent, may at any time pledge or assign a security interest
in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations
of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a
Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or
assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of
a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder
or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

          (e)  By executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption, the
assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to
confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows:
(i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of
the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that
its Commitments and the outstanding balances of its Loans, in each case without
giving effect to assignments thereof that have not become effective, are as set
forth in such Assignment and Assumption; (ii) except as set forth in clause (i)
above, 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 any other Loan Document or any
other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto, or the
execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value
of any of the foregoing, or the financial condition of the Borrower or the
performance or observance by the Borrower of any of its obligations under this
Agreement or under any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document
furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; (iii) each of the assignee and the
assignor represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into
such Assignment and Assumption; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received
a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of any amendments or consents
entered into prior to the date of such Assignment and Assumption and copies of
the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 and such
other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own
credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Assumption; (v)
such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Agents, 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; (vi) such
assignee appoints and authorizes the Agents to take such action as agents on its
behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents as are delegated to them by the terms hereof and thereof, together
with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee
agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations
that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a
Lender.

          SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other
instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be
considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall
survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any
Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its

<PAGE>

                                                                              44

behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have
had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty
at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force
and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or
any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and
unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The
provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive
and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or
termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any
provision hereof.

          SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement
may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different
counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when
taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and any
separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative
Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject
matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings,
oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in
Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been
executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall
have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the
signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page
of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually
executed counterpart of this Agreement.

          SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in
a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other
jurisdiction.

          SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby
authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or
demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time
owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the
Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter
existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or
not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although
such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section
are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff)
which such Lender may have.

          SECTION 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of
Process. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed
by the law of the State of New York.

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

action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against the Borrower or its
properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

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

          (d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of
process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this
Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process
in any other manner permitted by law.

          SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES,
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER
BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES
THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED,
EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF
LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT
AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY,
AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

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

          SECTION 9.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as
defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its
Affiliates' directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants,
legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom
such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such
Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the
extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by
applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d)
to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any
remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement
or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing
provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee
of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of
its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective
counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to
the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to
the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a
result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source
other than the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section, "Information" means
all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its
business, other than any such information that is available to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to
disclosure by the Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received
from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified
at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the
confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered
to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the
same degree of care to maintain the

                                                                              46

confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own
confidential information.

          SECTION 9.13. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan,
together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest
on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the "Charges"), shall exceed the
maximum lawful rate (the "Maximum Rate") which may be contracted for, charged,
taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with
applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder,
together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the
Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have
been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the
operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges
payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased
(but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together
with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of
repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.
