including post-effective amendments, in each case including the Prospectus
contained therein, all exhibits thereto and all documents incorporated by

              2.  Registration Under the Securities Act.

             (a) Shelf Registration. The Company shall file a Shelf
Registration Statement providing for the sale by the Holders of all of the
Registrable Securities then owned by the Holders (or which the Holders may be
entitled to receive) within thirty (30) days after the IPO and shall use its
best efforts to have such Shelf Registration Statement declared effective by
the SEC within 90 days after the IPO. No Holder of Registrable Securities
shall be entitled to include any of its Registrable Securities in any Shelf
Registration pursuant to this Agreement unless and until such Holder agrees in
writing to be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement applicable to
such Holder and furnishes to the Company in writing, within 10 Business Days
after receipt of a request therefor, such information as the Company may,
after conferring with counsel with regard to information relating to Holders
that would be required by the SEC to be included in such Shelf Registration
Statement or Prospectus included therein, reasonably request for inclusion in
any Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus included therein. Each Holder
as to which any Shelf Registration is being effected agrees to furnish to the
Company all information with respect to such Holder necessary to make the
information previously furnished to the Company by such Holder not materially
misleading.

              The Company agrees to use its best efforts to keep the Shelf
Registration Statement continuously effective and the Prospectus usable for
resales during the Rule 144(k) Period (subject to extension pursuant to the
provisions of this paragraph), or for such shorter period which will terminate
when all of the Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have
been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement or cease to be
Registrable Securities (the "Effectiveness Period"); provided, however, that
up to 60 days on not more than two occasions in any twelve-month period (any
such period being referred to herein as a "Blackout Period"), the Company
shall be permitted to suspend sales of Securities: (i) if the Shelf
Registration Statement is no longer effective or the Prospectus is no longer
usable for resales due to a good faith determination by the Company that the
sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration
Statement would require disclosure of material non-public information that the
Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential or
(ii) if the Company is engaged in or has completed an underwritten public
offering and the underwriters' lock-up period with respect to sales of common
stock (or securities convertible into common stock) has not expired; provided,
however, that subsequent to the earlier of (x) 12 months after the IPO and (y)
the Company's completion of two underwritten public offerings after the IPO,
any Blackout Period imposed by the Company in connection with underwriters'
lock-up periods shall extend for no more than 30 days after the completion of
an underwritten public offering and, to the extent such Holder together with
any Affiliates owns less than 10% of the Company's outstanding classes of
common stock, the Company shall have no further right to suspend sales of
Securities in connection with underwriters' lock-up periods. No Blackout
Period may commence fewer than 90 days following (i) the expiration of a
preceding Blackout Period, or (ii) the IPO. In addition, the Company shall be
permitted to suspend sales of Securities if it makes a good faith
determination that the Prospectus includes an untrue statement of a material
fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading; provided, however, that under these circumstances the Company
shall use its best efforts to terminate the related Blackout Period by causing
the Prospectus to be amended, modified or supplemented as promptly as
reasonably practicable so as not to include such an untrue statement or omit
such a material fact and, provided further that the maximum number of days
that the Company may suspend sales in any twelve month period under any
suspension right set forth in this Section 2(a) shall be 120 days. Each Holder
agrees that it shall give the Company notice of not less than 5 Business Days
prior to disposing of any Registered Securities under the Shelf Registration
Statement so that the Company may make any determination to suspend sales of
Securities as contemplated in the preceding sentence. In addition, each Holder
agrees that it shall not dispose of Registrable Securities under the Shelf
Registration Statement in any underwritten offering by one or more Holders of
less than an aggregate of $20 million of Registrable Securities determined on
the price per share offered to the public. The Company will, upon the
effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement, provide to each Holder a
reasonable number of copies of the Prospectus which is a part of the Shelf
Registration Statement, and, at that time, notify each such Holder that the
Shelf Registration Statement has become effective and take such other actions
as are required to permit unrestricted resales of the Registrable Securities.
The Company further agrees to supplement or amend the Shelf Registration
Statement if and as required by the rules, regulations or instructions
applicable to the registration form used by the Company for such Shelf
Registration Statement or by the Securities Act or by any other rules and
regulations thereunder for shelf registrations, and the Company agrees to
furnish to the Holders of Registrable Securities copies of any supplement or
amendment to the Prospectus promptly after its being used or filed with the
SEC.

              (b) Expenses. The Company, as issuer of the Securities, shall
pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any Shelf Registration
Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof and will reimburse any single
counsel designated in writing by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable
Securities to act as counsel for the Holders of the Registrable Securities in
connection with a Shelf Registration Statement, which other counsel shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Company; provided, however, that such
reimbursement shall in no event exceed an aggregate of $10,000. Except as
provided herein, each Holder shall pay all expenses of its counsel,
underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes, if any, relating to
the sale or disposition of such Holder's Registrable Securities pursuant to
the Shelf Registration Statement.

              (c) Effective Shelf Registration Statement. A Shelf Registration
Statement will not be deemed to have become effective unless it has been
declared effective by the SEC; provided, however, that if, after it has been
declared effective, the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to such
Shelf Registration Statement is interfered with by any stop order, injunction
or other order or requirement of the SEC or any other governmental agency or
court, such Shelf Registration Statement will be deemed not to have been
effective during the period of such interference, until the offering of
Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement may
legally resume. The Company will be deemed not to have used its best efforts
to cause a Shelf Registration Statement to become, or to remain, effective
during the requisite period if it voluntarily takes any action that would
result in any such Shelf Registration Statement not being declared effective
or that would result in the Holders of Registrable Securities covered thereby
not being able to offer and sell such Registrable Securities during that
period, unless such action is required by applicable law. If the Company has
not used its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of a Shelf
Registration Statement and the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to
such Shelf Registration Statement therefore is interfered with by any stop
order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or any other
governmental agency or court, then each day that the effectiveness of a Shelf
Registration Statement is suspended shall apply to the Blackout Period
limitation in Section 2(a) hereof.

              (d) Specific Enforcement. Without limiting the remedies
available to the Holders at law or in equity, the Company acknowledges that
any failure by it to comply with its obligations under Section 2(a) hereof may
result in material irreparable injury to the Holders for which there is no
adequate remedy at law, that it would not be possible to measure damages for
such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such failure, any Holder
may obtain such relief in any court having jurisdiction as may be required to
specifically enforce the Company's obligations under Section 2(a) hereof.

               3. Registration Procedures. In connection with the obligations
of the Company with respect to the Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to
Section 2(a) hereof, the Company shall use its best efforts to:

              (a) prepare and file with the SEC a Shelf Registration Statement
as prescribed by Section 2(a) hereof on the appropriate form under the
Securities Act, which form shall (i) be selected by the Company, (ii) be
available for the sale of the Registrable Securities by the selling Holders
thereof, and (iii) comply as to form in all material respects with the
requirements of the applicable form and include all financial statements
required by the SEC to be filed therewith; the Company shall use its best
efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to become effective and
remain effective and the Prospectus usable for resales in accordance with
Section 2 hereof; provided, that before filing such Shelf Registration
Statement or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company will furnish
to the counsel selected by the Holders whose Registrable Securities are
included in the Shelf Registration Statement copies of all such documents
proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the review of such
counsel before any such filing is made, and the Company will comply with any
reasonable request made by such counsel to make changes in any information
contained in such documents relating to the Holders.

              (b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and
post-effective amendments to the Shelf Registration Statement as may be
necessary to keep such Shelf Registration Statement effective for the
Effectiveness Period, subject to the provisos contained in the second
paragraph in Section 2(a), and cause each Prospectus to be supplemented, if so
determined by the Company or requested by the SEC, by any required prospectus
supplement and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any
similar provision then in force) under the Securities Act, and comply with the
provisions of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder applicable to it with respect to the
disposition of all securities covered by a Shelf Registration Statement during
the Effectiveness Period in accordance with the intended method or methods of
distribution by the selling Holders thereof described in this Agreement;

              (c) register or qualify the Registrable Securities under all
applicable securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions (domestic or
foreign) by the time the applicable Shelf Registration Statement is declared
effective by the SEC as any Holder of Registrable Securities covered by a
Shelf Registration Statement and each underwriter of an underwritten offering
of Registrable Securities shall reasonably request in writing in advance of
such date of effectiveness, keep such registration or qualification in effect
for so long as such Shelf Registration Statement remains in effect and use its
best efforts to obtain all appropriate registrations, permits and consents
required in connection therewith, and do any and all other acts and things
which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such Holder and
underwriter to consummate the disposition in each such jurisdiction of such
Registrable Securities owned by such Holder; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be required to (i) qualify as a foreign corporation or as a
dealer in securities in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be
required to qualify but for this Section 3(c), (ii) file any general consent
to service of process in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be
subject to such service of process or (iii) subject itself to taxation in any
such jurisdiction if it is not then so subject;

              (d) promptly notify each Holder of Registrable Securities, their
counsel and the managing underwriters, if any, and promptly confirm such
notice in writing (i) of the issuance by the SEC or any state securities
authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Shelf
Registration Statement or the qualification of the Registrable Securities in
any jurisdiction described in Section 3(c) hereof or the initiation of any
proceedings for that purpose, (ii) if, between the effective date of a Shelf
Registration Statement and the closing of any sale of Registrable Securities
covered thereby, the representations and warranties of the Company contained
in any purchase agreement, securities sales agreement or other similar
agreement cease to be true and correct in all material respects, and (iii) of
the happening of any event or the failure of any event to occur or the
discovery of any facts, during the Effectiveness Period, which makes any
statement made in a Shelf Registration Statement or the related Prospectus
untrue in any material respect or which causes such Shelf Registration
Statement or Prospectus to omit to state a material fact necessary in order to
make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading;

              (e) obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the
effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement at the earliest possible
moment;

              (f) cooperate with the selling Holders of Registrable Securities
to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing

registered in such names as the selling Holders or the underwriters may
reasonably request at least two Business Days prior to the closing of any sale
of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement;

              (g) promptly after the occurrence of any event specified in
Section 3(d)(i) or 3(d)(iii) (subject to the second paragraph of Section 2(a))
hereof, prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Shelf
Registration Statement or the related Prospectus or any document incorporated
therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as
thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities, such
Prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and
the Company shall notify each Holder to suspend use of the Prospectus as
promptly as practicable after the occurrence of such an event, and each Holder
hereby agrees to suspend use of the Prospectus until the Company has amended
or supplemented the Prospectus to correct such misstatement or omission;

underwritten offerings and make such representations and warranties to the
underwriters (if any), with respect to the business of the Company and its
subsidiaries as then conducted and with respect to the Shelf Registration

other independent certified public accountants of any business acquired by the
Company for which financial statements and financial data are, or are required
to be, included in the Registration Statement), addressed to each of the

"Advice") by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be
resumed, and, if so directed by the Company, such Holder will deliver to the
Company (at the Company's expense) all copies in such Holder's possession,
other than permanent file copies then in such Holder's possession, of the
Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt
of such notice. If the Company shall give any such notice to suspend the

directors, officers, employees and agents, as follows:

               (i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and
          expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) and
          judgments, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become
          subject whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement
          or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Shelf
          Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or the Prospectus
          (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or the omission or alleged
          omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein,
          in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
          misleading;

               (ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and
          expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate
          amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or
          proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or
          threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue
          statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or
          omission, provided that (subject to Section 4(d) hereof) such
          settlement is effected with the prior written consent of the
          Company; and

               (iii) against any and all expenses whatsoever, as incurred
          (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel chosen
          by such Holder), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or
          defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding
          by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any
          claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission,
          or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that
          any such expense is not paid under subparagraph (i) or (ii) of this
          Section 4(a);

provided, however, that this indemnity does not apply to any loss, liability,
claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of an untrue statement or
omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished in writing to the Company by
such Holder or underwriter expressly for use in the Shelf Registration
Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any Prospectus (or any amendment or
supplement thereto).

               (b) Each Holder or underwriter agrees, severally and not
jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its trustees and officers
(including each officer of the Company who signed the Shelf Registration
Statement), and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act
against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever
described in the indemnity contained in Section 4(a) hereof, as incurred, but
only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue
statements or omissions, made in the Shelf Registration Statement (or any
amendment thereto) or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto)
in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company by such Holder expressly for use in such Shelf Registration Statement
(or any amendment thereto) or such Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement
thereto); provided, however, that no Holder shall be liable for any claims
hereunder in excess of the amount of net proceeds received by such Holder from
the sale of Registrable Securities.

               (c) Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as
reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced
against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure
to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party
from any liability which it may have under this Section 4 to the extent that
it is not materially prejudiced by such failure as a result thereof, and in
any event shall not relieve it from liability which it may have otherwise on
account of this Section 4. In the case of parties indemnified pursuant to
Section 4(a) or (b) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be
selected by such parties. An indemnifying party may participate at its own
expense in the defense of such action; provided, however, that counsel to the
indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified
party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. In no event shall the
indemnifying parties be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one
counsel (in addition to local counsel), separate from their own counsel, for
all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but
similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same
general allegations or circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without the
prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or
consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any
investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or
threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or
contribution could be sought under this Section 4 (whether or not the
indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such
settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional written
release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such
litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a
statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by
or on behalf of any indemnified party.

               (d) If at any time an indemnified party shall have validly
requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees
and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be
liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 4(a)(ii)
effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into
more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid
request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms
of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered
into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such
indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such
settlement.

               (e) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in
circumstances in which the indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 4 is
for any reason held to be unenforceable by an indemnified party although
applicable in accordance with its terms, the Company, on the one hand, and the
Holders, on the other hand, shall contribute to the aggregate losses,
liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by such
indemnity agreement incurred by the Company and the Holders, as incurred;
provided, however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any Person that was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. As between the Company, on the one hand, and the Holders,
on the other hand, such parties shall contribute to such aggregate losses,
liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by such
indemnity agreement in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other
hand, with respect to the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss,
liability, claim, damage or expense, or action in respect thereof, as well as
any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the
Company, on the one hand, and of the Holders, on the other hand, shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to
state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, on the
one hand, or by or on behalf of the Holders, on the other, and the parties'
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct
or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Holders of the
Registrable Securities agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 4 were to be determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into
account the relevant equitable considerations. For purposes of this Section 4,
each Affiliate of a Holder, and each director, officer and employee and
Person, if any, who controls a Holder or such Affiliate within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act shall have the same rights to contribution as
such Holder, and each trustee and officer of the Company and each Person, if
any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to
contribution as the Company.

               5. Participation in an Underwritten Registration. No Holder may
participate in an underwritten registration hereunder unless such Holder (a)
agrees to sell such Holder's Registrable Securities on the basis provided in
the underwriting arrangement approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to
approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all reasonable
questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements,
lock-up letters and other documents reasonably required under the terms of
such underwriting arrangements.

               6. Selection of Underwriters. The Holders of Registrable
Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement who desire to do so may
sell the Securities covered by such Shelf Registration in an underwritten
offering, subject to the provisions of Section 3(h) hereof. In any such
underwritten offering, the underwriter or underwriters and manager or managers
that will administer the offering will be selected by the Holders; provided,
however, that such underwriters and managers must be reasonably satisfactory
to the Company.

               7. Miscellaneous.

               (a) Rule 144. For so long as the Company is subject to the
reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15 of the Exchange Act and any
Registrable Securities remain outstanding, the Company will timely file the
reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and Section 13(a)
or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC
thereunder; provided, however, that if the Company ceases to be so required to
file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Holder of Registrable
Securities (a) make publicly available such information as is necessary to
permit sales of its securities pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act
and (b) take such further action that is reasonable in the circumstances, in
each case, to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to
sell its Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act
within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, as such rule may be amended from time to time, or any similar
rules or regulations hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of any
Holder of Registrable Securities, the Company will deliver to such Holder a
written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

               (b) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company has not entered
into, and will not enter into, any agreement which is inconsistent with the
rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement or
otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. The rights granted to the
Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent
with the rights granted to the holders of the Company's other issued and
outstanding securities under any such agreements.

               (c) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement,
including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or
supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof
may not be given, unless the Company has obtained the written consent of
Holders of a majority of the outstanding Registrable Securities affected by
such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or departure; provided that
no amendment, modification or supplement or waiver or consent to the departure
with respect to the provisions of Section 4 hereof shall be effective as
against any Holder of Registrable Securities unless consented to in writing by
such Holder of Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence,
(i) this Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers and
consents to departures from the provisions hereof may be given, by written
agreement signed by the Company and the Holders or their successors and
assigns to the extent that any such amendment, modification, supplement,
waiver or consent is, in their reasonable judgment, necessary or appropriate
to comply with applicable law (including any interpretation of the Staff of
the SEC) or any change therein and (ii) to the extent any provision of this
Agreement relates to the Holders, such provision may be amended, modified or
supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from such provisions may
be given, by written agreement signed by the Holders and the Company.

               (d) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for
or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, registered
first-class mail, telex, telecopier, or any courier guaranteeing overnight
delivery (i) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by such Holder
to the Company by means of a notice given in accordance with the provisions of
this Section 7(d), which address initially is, with respect to the Holders,
the address set forth in the Stockholders Agreement and thereafter at such
other address, notice of which is given in accordance with the provisions of
this Section 7(d); and (ii) if to the Company, initially at the Company's
address set forth in the Stockholders Agreement and thereafter at such other
address, notice of which is given in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 7(d).

               All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have
been duly given: at the time delivered by hand, if personally delivered; five
Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if mailed;
when answered back, if telexed; when receipt is acknowledged, if telecopied;
and on the next Business Day, if timely delivered to an overnight courier,
including Federal Express or similar courier utilizing overnight delivery.

               (e) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the successors, assigns and transferees of the
Holders, including, without limitation and without the need for an express
assignment, subsequent Holders; provided, however, that nothing herein shall
be deemed to permit any assignment, transfer or other disposition of
Registrable Securities in violation of the terms of the Agreement. If any
transferee of any Holder shall acquire Registrable Securities, in any manner,
whether by operation of law or otherwise, such Registrable Securities shall be
held subject to all of the terms of this Agreement, and by taking and holding
such Registrable Securities, such Person shall be conclusively deemed to have
agreed to be bound by and to perform all of the terms and provisions of this
Agreement and such Person shall be entitled to receive the benefits hereof.

               (f) Sales During Blackout Period. Any Holder that sells
Registrable Securities during a Blackout Period of which it had written notice
shall be deemed to have materially breached this Agreement and shall have no
further rights hereunder.

               (g) Third Party Beneficiaries. Each transferee of a Seller (and
subsequent transferees thereof) shall be a third party beneficiary of the
agreements made hereunder among the Company and the Holders, and such
transferee shall have the right to enforce such agreements directly to the
extent it deems such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect its rights
hereunder.

               (h) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of
which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which
taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

               (i) Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for
convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the
meaning hereof.

               (j) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without giving
effect to any provisions relating to conflicts of laws.

               (k) Severability. In the event that any one or more of the
provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstance,
is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and
enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the
remaining provisions contained herein shall not be affected or impaired
thereby.

               (l) Entire Agreement. This Agreement is intended by the parties
as a final expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete and
exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto
in respect of the subject matter contained herein. This Agreement supersedes
all prior agreements and understandings among the parties with respect to such
subject matter.

as of the date first written above.

       to the maximum amount of Working Capital Loans permitted to be
       outstanding from time to time, to lend to Company from time to time
       during the period from the Closing Date to but excluding the Working
       Capital Loan Commitment Termination Date an aggregate amount not
       exceeding its Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of the Working
       Capital Loan Commitments to be used for the purposes identified in
       subsection 2.5B.  The original

                                          39
<PAGE>

       amount of each Working Capital Lender's Working Capital Loan Commitment
       is set forth opposite its name on SCHEDULE 2.1 annexed hereto and the
       aggregate original amount of the Working Capital Loan Commitments is
       $25,000,000; PROVIDED that the Working Capital Loan Commitments of the
       Working Capital Lenders shall be adjusted to give effect to any
       assignments of the Working Capital Loan Commitments pursuant to
       subsection 10.1B; PROVIDED FURTHER the Working Capital Loan Commitments
       may be increased pursuant to subsection 2.1A(vii); and PROVIDED STILL
       FURTHER that the amount of the Working Capital Loan Commitments shall be
       reduced from time to time by the amount of any reductions thereto made
       pursuant to subsection 2.4B(ii).  Each Working Capital Lender's Working
       Capital Loan Commitment shall expire on the Working Capital Loan
       Commitment Termination Date and all Working Capital Loans and all other
       amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Working Capital Loans and the
       Working Capital Loan Commitments shall be paid in full no later than that
       date; PROVIDED that each Working Capital Lender's Working Capital Loan
       Commitment shall expire immediately and without further action on
       October 31, 1998, if the Tranche B Term Loans are not made on or before
       that date.  Amounts borrowed under this subsection 2.1A(iii) may be
       repaid and, at any time to but excluding the Working Capital Loan
       Commitment Termination Date, reborrowed.

              Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary
       notwithstanding, in no event shall the Total Utilization of Working
       Capital Loan Commitments at any time exceed the Working Capital Loan
       Commitments then in effect.

              (iv)   SWING LINE LOANS.  Swing Line Lender hereby agrees, subject
       to the limitations set forth below with respect to the maximum amount of
       Swing Line Loans permitted to be outstanding from time to time, to make a
       portion of the Working Capital Loan Commitments available to Company from
       time to time during the period from the Closing Date to but excluding the
       Working Capital Loan Commitment Termination Date by making Swing Line
       Loans to Company in an aggregate amount not exceeding the amount of the
       Swing Line Loan Commitment to be used for the purposes identified in
       subsection 2.5B, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans,
       when aggregated with Swing Line Lender's outstanding Working Capital
       Loans and Swing Line Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit
       Usage then in effect, may exceed Swing Line Lender's Working Capital Loan
       Commitment.  The original amount of the Swing Line Loan Commitment is
       $5,000,000; PROVIDED that any reduction of the Working Capital Loan
       Commitments made pursuant to subsection 2.4B(ii) which reduces the
       aggregate Working Capital Loan Commitments to an amount less than the
       then current amount of the Swing Line Loan Commitment shall result in an
       automatic corresponding reduction of the Swing Line Loan Commitment to
       the amount of the Working Capital Loan Commitments, as so reduced,
       without any further action on the part of Company, Administrative Agent
       or Swing Line Lender.  The Swing Line Loan Commitment shall expire on the
       Working Capital Loan Commitment Termination Date and all Swing Line Loans
       and all other amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Swing Line Loans
       shall be paid in full no later than that date; PROVIDED that the Swing
       Line Loan Commitment shall expire immediately and without further action
       on October 31, 1998, if the Tranche B Term Loans are not made on or
       before that date.  Amounts borrowed under this subsection 2.1A(iv) may be
       repaid and, at any time to but excluding the Working Capital Loan
       Commitment Termination Date, reborrowed.

                                          40
<PAGE>

              Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary
       notwithstanding, the Swing Line Loans and the Swing Line Loan Commitment
       shall be subject to the limitation that in no event shall the Total
       Utilization of Working Capital Loan Commitments at any time exceed the
       Working Capital Loan Commitments then in effect.

              With respect to any Swing Line Loans which have not been
       voluntarily prepaid by Company pursuant to subsection 2.4B(i), Swing Line
       Lender may, at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, deliver to
       Administrative Agent (with a copy to Company), no later than 9:00 A.M.
       (Chicago time) on the first Business Day in advance of the proposed
       Funding Date, a notice (which shall be deemed to be a Notice of Borrowing
       given by Company) requesting Working Capital Lenders to make Working
       Capital Loans that are Base Rate Loans on such Funding Date in an amount
       equal to the amount of such Swing Line Loans (the "REFUNDED SWING LINE
       LOANS") outstanding on the date such notice is given which Swing Line
       Lender requests Working Capital Lenders to prepay.  Anything contained in
       this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the proceeds of such
       Working Capital Loans made by Working Capital Lenders other than Swing
       Line Lender shall be immediately delivered by Administrative Agent to
       Swing Line Lender (and not to Company) and applied to repay a
       corresponding portion of the Refunded Swing Line Loans and (ii) on the
       day such Working Capital Loans are made, Swing Line Lender's Pro Rata
       Share of the Refunded Swing Line Loans shall be deemed to be paid with
       the proceeds of a Working Capital Loan made by Swing Line Lender, and
       such portion of the Swing Line Loans deemed to be so paid shall no longer
       be outstanding as Swing Line Loans and shall no longer be due under the
       Swing Line Note of Swing Line Lender but shall instead constitute part of
       Swing Line Lender's outstanding Working Capital Loans and shall be due
       under the Working Capital Note of Swing Line Lender and the
       participations of each Working Capital Lender in such Refunded Swing Line
       Loan shall be extinguished without further action.  Company hereby
       authorizes Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender to charge Company's
       accounts with Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender (up to the
       amount available in each such account) in order to immediately pay Swing
       Line Lender the amount of the Refunded Swing Line Loans to the extent the
       proceeds of such Working Capital Loans made by Working Capital Lenders,
       including the Working Capital Loan deemed to be made by Swing Line
       Lender, are not sufficient to repay in full the Refunded Swing Line
       Loans.  If any portion of any such amount paid (or deemed to be paid) to
       Swing Line Lender should be recovered by or on behalf of Company from
       Swing Line Lender in bankruptcy, by assignment for the benefit of
       creditors or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be
       ratably shared among all Working Capital Lenders in the manner
       contemplated by subsection 10.5.

              Immediately upon funding of any Swing Line Loan, each Working
       Capital Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby agrees to, have purchased a
       participation in such outstanding Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to
       its Pro Rata Share of the principal amount of such Swing Line Loans.
       Upon one Business Day's notice from Swing Line Lender, each Working
       Capital Lender shall deliver to Swing Line Lender an amount equal to its
       respective participation in any outstanding Swing Line Loans in same day
       funds at the Funding and Payment Office. Each such amount so delivered by
       any Working Capital Lender shall be deemed to be a Base Rate Working
       Capital Loan of such Working Capital Lender, and the Swing Line Lender's
       participation, in its capacity as a Working Capital Lender, in any
       outstanding Swing Line Loans shall be deemed to be converted to a Working
       Capital Loan of the Swing Line Lender made in its capacity as a Working
       Capital Lender.  In the event any

                                          41
<PAGE>

       Working Capital Lender fails to make available to Swing Line Lender the
       amount of such Working Capital Lender's participation as provided in this
       paragraph, Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on
       demand from such Working Capital Lender together with interest thereon at
       the rate customarily used by Swing Line Lender for the correction of
       errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base
       Rate.  In the event Swing Line Lender receives a payment of any amount in
       which other Working Capital Lenders have purchased participations as
       provided in this paragraph, Swing Line Lender shall promptly distribute
       to each such other Working Capital Lender its Pro Rata Share of such
       payment.

              Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each
       Working Capital Lender's obligation to make Working Capital Loans for the
       purpose of repaying any Refunded Swing Line Loans pursuant to the second
       preceding paragraph and each Working Capital Lender's obligation to
       purchase a participation in Swing Line Loans pursuant to the immediately
       preceding paragraph shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be
       affected by any circumstance, including (a) any set-off, counterclaim,
       recoupment, defense or other right which such Working Capital Lender may
       have against Swing Line Lender, Company or any other Person for any
       reason whatsoever; (b) the occurrence or continuation of an Event of
       Default or a Potential Event of Default (subject to the proviso set forth
       below); (c) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties,
       assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of Company or any
       of its Subsidiaries; (d) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan
       Document by any party thereto; or (e) any other circumstance, happening
       or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing;
       PROVIDED that such obligations of each Working Capital Lender are subject
       to satisfaction of one of the following conditions (X) Swing Line Lender
       believed in good faith that all conditions under Section 4 to the making
       of the applicable Refunded Swing Line Loans were satisfied at the time
       such Refunded Swing Line Loans or unpaid Swing Line Loans were made or
       (Y) the satisfaction of any such condition not satisfied had been waived
       in accordance with subsection 10.6.

              (v)    ACQUISITION LOANS.  Each Acquisition Lender severally
       agrees, subject to the limitations set forth below with respect to the
       maximum amount of Acquisition Loans permitted to be outstanding from time
       to time, to lend to Company from time to time during the period from the
       Merger Date to but excluding the Acquisition Loan Commitment Termination
       Date an aggregate amount not exceeding its Pro Rata Share of the
       aggregate amount of the Acquisition Loan Commitments to be used for the
       purposes identified in subsection 2.5C.  The original amount of each
       Acquisition Lender's Acquisition Loan Commitment is set forth opposite
       its name on SCHEDULE 2.1 annexed hereto and the aggregate original amount
       of the Acquisition Loan Commitments is $25,000,000; PROVIDED that the
       Acquisition Loan Commitments of the Acquisition Lenders shall be adjusted
       to give effect to any assignments of the Acquisition Loan Commitments
       pursuant to subsection 10.1B; PROVIDED FURTHER that (i) the amount of the
       Acquisition Loan Commitments shall be reduced from time to time by the
       amount of any reductions thereto made pursuant to subsections 2.4B(ii)
       and 2.4B(iii), and (ii) the amount of the Acquisition Loan Commitments
       may be increased pursuant to subsection 2.1A(vii).  Each Acquisition
       Lender's Acquisition Loan Commitment shall expire on the Acquisition Loan
       Commitment Termination Date and all Acquisition Loans and all other
       amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Acquisition Loans and the
       Acquisition Loan Commitments shall be paid in full no later than that
       date;

                                          42
<PAGE>

       PROVIDED that each Acquisition Lender's Acquisition Loan Commitment shall
       expire immediately and without further action on October 31, 1998, if the
       Tranche B Term Loans are not made on or before that date. Amounts
       borrowed under this subsection 2.1A(v) may be repaid and reborrowed to
       but excluding the Acquisition Loan Commitment Termination Date.

              (vi)   TRANCHE D TERM LOANS.  Each Tranche D Term Loan Lender
       having an Original Tranche D Term Loan Commitment severally agrees to
       lend to Company on the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
       Closing Date an amount not exceeding its pro rata share of the aggregate
       amount of the Original Tranche D Term Loan Commitments, which pro rata
       share is set forth opposite its name on SCHEDULE 2.1 attached hereto, and
       each Tranche D Term Loan Lender having an Additional Tranche D Term Loan
       Commitment severally agrees to lend to Company on the Third Amended and
       Restated Credit Agreement Closing Date an amount not exceeding its pro
       rata share of the aggregate amount of the Additional Tranche D Term Loan
       Commitments, which pro rata share is set forth opposite its name on
       SCHEDULE 2.1 attached hereto, in each case to be used for the purposes
       identified in subsection 2.5A.  The amounts of each Tranche D Term Loan
       Lender's Original Tranche D Term Loan Commitment and each Tranche D Term
       Loan Lender's Additional Tranche D Term Loan Commitment are set forth
       opposite such Tranche D Term Loan Lender's name on SCHEDULE 2.1 annexed
       hereto.  The aggregate amount of the Original Tranche D Term Loan
       Commitments is $40,000,000, the aggregate amount of the Additional
       Tranche D Term Loan Commitments is $52,500,000 and the aggregate amount
       of the Tranche D Term Loan Commitments is $92,500,000; PROVIDED that the
       Tranche D Term Loan Commitments of Tranche D Term Loan Lenders shall be
       adjusted to give effect to any assignments of the Tranche D Term Loan
       Commitments pursuant to subsection 10.1B.  Each Tranche D Term Loan
       Lender's Original Tranche D Term Loan Commitment shall expire immediately
       and without further action on the earlier of (i) December 31, 1999, if
       the Original Tranche D Term Loans are not made on or before that date and
       (ii) at the close of business on the Second Amended and Restated Credit
       Agreement Closing Date.  Each Tranche D Term Loan Lender's Additional
       Tranche D Term Loan Commitment shall expire immediately and without
       further action on the earlier of (i) June 30, 2000, if the Additional
       Tranche D Term Loans are not made on or before that date and (ii) at the
       close of business on the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
       Closing Date. Company may make only one borrowing under the Original
       Tranche D Term Loan Commitments and may make only one borrowing under the
       Additional Tranche D Term Loan Commitments.  Amounts borrowed under this
       subsection 2.1A(vi) and subsequently repaid or prepaid may not be
       reborrowed.

              (vii)  ADDITIONAL COMMITMENTS.  At any time that no Potential
       Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
       Company may, by notice to the Agents, request that, on the terms and
       subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, the Lenders and/or
       other financial institutions not then a party to this Agreement that are
       satisfactory to the Agents provide up to an aggregate amount of
       $20,000,000 in additional Commitments (with respect to one or more
       tranches).  Upon receipt of such notice, the Syndication Agent shall use
       all commercially reasonable efforts to arrange for the Lenders or other
       financial institutions to provide such additional Commitments; PROVIDED
       that the Syndication Agent will first offer each of the Lenders its Pro
       Rata Share of any such additional Commitments.  Alternatively, any Lender
       may commit to provide the full amount of the requested additional
       Commitments and then offer portions of such additional

                                          43
<PAGE>

       Commitments to the other Lenders or other financial institutions, subject
       to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence.  Nothing contained
       in this paragraph or otherwise in this Agreement is intended to commit
       any Lender or any Agent to provide any portion of any such additional
       Commitments.  If and to the extent that any Lenders and/or other
       financial institutions agree, in their sole discretion, to provide any
       such additional Commitments, (i) the aggregate amount of the Commitments
       shall be increased by the amount of the additional Commitments agreed to
       be so provided, (ii) if there is an increase in the Working Capital Loan
       Commitments or Acquisition Loan Commitments, the Pro Rata Shares of the
       respective Lenders in respect of the applicable Commitments shall be
       proportionally adjusted, (iii) if necessary, in respect of an increase in
       Working Capital Loan Commitments or Acquisition Loan Commitments, at such
       time and in such manner as Company and the Syndication Agent shall agree
       (it being understood that Company and the Agents will use all
       commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the prepayment or assignment of
       any Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest
       Period applicable thereto), the Lenders who have in their sole discretion
       agreed to provide such additional Commitments shall assign and assume
       outstanding Loans and participations in outstanding Letters of Credit so
       as to cause the amount of such Loans and participations in Letters of
       Credit held by each Lender that has the affected Commitment to conform to
       the respective percentages of the applicable Commitments of the Lenders
       and (iv) Company shall execute and deliver any additional Notes or other
       amendments or modifications to this Agreement or any other Loan Document
       as the Agents may reasonably request.

       B.     BORROWING MECHANICS. Loans made on any Funding Date (other than
Working Capital Loans deemed made pursuant to a request by Swing Line Lender
pursuant to subsection 2.1A(iv) for the purpose of repaying any Refunded Swing
Line Loans or Working Capital Loans made pursuant to subsection 3.3B for the
purpose of reimbursing any Issuing Lender for the amount of a drawing under a
Letter of Credit issued by it ("LC REFUNDING LOANS")) shall be in an aggregate
minimum amount of $1,000,000 and multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount.
Swing Line Loans made on any Funding Date shall be in an aggregate minimum
amount of $250,000 and multiples of $10,000 in excess of that amount.  Whenever
Company desires that Lenders make Loans (other than Swing Line Loans or LC
Refunding Loans) it shall deliver to Administrative Agent a Notice of Borrowing
no later than 12:00 Noon (Chicago time) at least three Business Days in advance
of the proposed Funding Date (in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Loan, other than
Eurodollar Loans to be made on the Closing Date or the Merger Date, if the
Merger Date occurs on or prior to three Business Days after the Closing Date) or
12:00 Noon (Chicago time) on the proposed Funding Date (in the case of a Base
Rate Loan).  Whenever Company desires that Swing Line Lender make a Swing Line
Loan, it shall deliver to Administrative Agent a Notice of Borrowing no later
than 12:00 Noon (Chicago time) on the proposed Funding Date.  The Notice of
Borrowing shall specify (i) the proposed Funding Date (which shall be a Business
Day), (ii) the amount and type of Loans requested, (iii) in the case of Swing
Line Loans, that such Loans shall be Base Rate Loans, (iv) in the case of any
other Loans, whether such Loans shall be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate
Loans, and (v) in the case of any Loans requested to be made as Eurodollar Rate
Loans, the initial Interest Period requested therefor. Term Loans and Working
Capital Loans may be continued as or converted into Base Rate Loans and
Eurodollar Rate Loans in the manner provided in subsection 2.2D.  In lieu of
delivering the above-described Notice of Borrowing, Company may give
Administrative Agent telephonic notice by the required time of any proposed
borrowing under this subsection 2.1B; PROVIDED that such notice shall be
promptly confirmed in writing by delivery of a Notice of Borrowing to
Administrative Agent on or before the applicable Funding Date.  Any Loans made
on

                                          44
<PAGE>

the Closing Date and on the Merger Date (if the Merger Date occurs on or prior
to three Business Days after the Closing Date) may be Eurodollar Loans
regardless of whether this Agreement has been executed at least three Business
Days prior to such date and so long as Company has delivered a Notice of
Borrowing with respect thereto on or prior to three Business Days prior to such
date and has also delivered an indemnity agreement covering broken funding
losses in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agents.

              Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall incur any
liability to Company in acting upon any telephonic notice referred to above that
Administrative Agent believes in good faith to have been given by a duly
authorized officer or other person authorized to borrow on behalf of Company or
for otherwise acting in good faith under this subsection 2.1B, and upon funding
of Loans by Lenders in accordance with this Agreement pursuant to any such
telephonic notice Company shall have borrowed Loans hereunder.

              Company shall notify Administrative Agent prior to the funding of
any Loans in the event that any of the matters to which Company is required to
certify in the applicable Notice of Borrowing as being true and correct on any
applicable Funding Date is not true and correct as of the applicable Funding
Date, and the acceptance by Company of the proceeds of any Loans shall
constitute a certification by Company, as of the applicable Funding Date, as to
the matters to which Company is required to certify in the applicable Notice of
Borrowing as being true and correct on such Funding Date.

              Except as otherwise provided in subsections 2.6B, 2.6C and 2.6G, a
Notice of Borrowing for a Eurodollar Rate Loan (or telephonic notice in lieu
thereof) shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate
Determination Date, and Company shall be bound to make a borrowing in accordance
therewith or to pay the amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.6D as a result of
the failure to make such borrowing.

       C.     DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDS.  All Loans (other than Swing Line Loans)
under this Agreement shall be made by Lenders simultaneously and proportionately
to their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Tranche A Term Loan Commitment, the
Tranche B Term Loan Commitment, the Tranche D Term Loan Commitment, the Working
Capital Loan Commitment and the Acquisition Loan Commitment, as the case may be,
it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any
other Lender in that other Lender's obligation to make a Loan requested
hereunder nor shall the Commitment of any Lender to make the particular type of
Loan requested be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other
Lender in that other Lender's obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder.
Promptly after receipt by Administrative Agent of a Notice of Borrowing pursuant
to subsection 2.1B (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof), Administrative Agent
shall notify each Lender or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, of the
proposed borrowing.  Each Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to
Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 P.M. (Chicago time) on the applicable
Funding Date, in each case in same day funds in Dollars, at the Funding and
Payment Office.  Except as provided in subsection 2.1A(iv) or subsection 3.3B
with respect to Working Capital Loans used to repay Refunded Swing Line Loans or
to reimburse any Issuing Lender for the amount of a drawing under a Letter of
Credit issued by it, upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent
specified in subsections 4.1 (in the case of Loans made on the Closing Date),
4.2 (in the case of Loans made on the Merger Date), 4.3 (in the case of
Acquisition Loans) and 4.4 (in the case of all Loans (other than Tranche A Term
Loans made on the Merger Date)), Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of
such Loans available to Company on the

                                          45
<PAGE>

applicable Funding Date by 2:00 P.M. (Chicago time), by causing an amount of
same day funds in Dollars equal to the proceeds of all such Loans received by
Administrative Agent from Lenders or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, to
be credited to the account of Company at the Funding and Payment Office.

              Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender
prior to the Funding Date for any Loans that such Lender does not intend to make
available to Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender's Loan requested on
such Funding Date, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made
such amount available to Administrative Agent on such Funding Date and
Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to,
make available to Company a corresponding amount on such Funding Date.  If such
corresponding amount is not in fact made available to Administrative Agent by
such Lender, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such
corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon,
for each day from such Funding Date until the date such amount is paid to
Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for three Business
Days and thereafter at the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan.  If
such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon Administrative
Agent's demand therefor, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Company and
Company shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to Administrative Agent
together with interest thereon, for each day from such Funding Date until the
date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the rate payable under this
Agreement for Loans of the type made on the Funding Date on which, and with
respect to which, Administrative Agent made available such amount.  Nothing in
this subsection 2.1C shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation
to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Company may
have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

              Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by Company
prior to the date on which it is scheduled to make payment to Administrative
Agent of a payment of principal, interest or fees to Administrative Agent for
the account of  Lenders that Company does not intend to make available to
Administrative Agent such amount on such date, Administrative Agent may assume
that Company has made such amount available to Administrative Agent on such date
and Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated
to, make available to Lenders a corresponding amount on such date.  If such

Agent, at the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan.  If Company does
not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon Administrative Agent's demand
therefor, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Lenders and Lenders shall
immediately pay such corresponding amount to Administrative Agent together with
interest thereon, for each day from the scheduled payment date until the date
such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the rate payable under this

       E.     REGISTER.  (a) Each Lender may maintain in accordance with its
usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of Company to
such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender to Company, including
the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time
to time hereunder.  In the case of a Lender that does not request, pursuant to
the preceding paragraph, execution and delivery of a Note or Notes evidencing
the Loans made by such Lender to Company, such account or accounts shall, to the
extent not inconsistent with the notations made by Administrative Agent in the
Register (as defined below), be conclusive and binding on Company absent
manifest error; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the failure of any Lender to maintain
such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect any Obligations of
Company or any other Loan Party.

              (b)(i) Company hereby designates Administrative Agent to serve as
       its agent, solely for the purpose of this subsection (b)(i), to maintain
       a register (the "REGISTER") on which Administrative Agent will record
       each Lender's Commitments, the Loans made by each Lender to Company, the
       Interest Period, if any, with respect thereto and each repayment in
       respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Lender to Company
       and annexed to which Administrative Agent shall retain a copy of each
       Assignment Agreement delivered to Administrative Agent pursuant to
       Section 10.1.  Failure to make any recordation, or any error in such
       recordation, shall not affect Company's obligations in respect of such
       Loans.  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence
       of manifest error, and Company, Administrative Agent and the Lenders
       shall treat each Person in whose name a Loan (and as provided in
       subsection (b)(ii), the Note evidencing such Loan, if any) is registered
       as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding
       notice or any provision herein to the contrary.  Any Commitment of any
       Lender and the Loans made pursuant thereto may be assigned or otherwise
       transferred in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment
       or transfer in the Register.  Any assignment or transfer of any
       Commitment of any Lender or the Loans made pursuant thereto shall be
       registered in the Register only upon delivery to Administrative Agent of
       an Assignment Agreement duly executed by the assignor thereof.  No
       assignment or transfer of any Commitment of any Lender or the Loans made
       pursuant thereto shall be effective, unless such assignment or transfer
       shall have been recorded in the Register by Administrative Agent as
       provided in this Section.

              (ii)   Company agrees that, upon the request by any Lender which
       becomes a party to this Agreement after the date hereof to Administrative
       Agent, Company will execute and deliver to such Lender a Note evidencing
       the Loans made by such Lender to Company.  Company authorizes each Lender
       to make (or cause to be made) appropriate notations on the grid attached
       to such Lender's Notes (or on any continuation of such grid), which
       notations, if made, shall evidence, INTER ALIA, the date of, the
       outstanding principal amount of, and the interest rate and Interest
       Period applicable to the Loans evidenced thereby.  Such notations shall,
       to the extent not consistent with the notations made by Administrative
       Agent in the Register, be conclusive and binding on Company absent
       manifest error; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the failure of any Lender to make
       any such notations or any error in any such notations shall not limit or
       otherwise affect any Obligations of Company or any other Loan Party.  The

                                          48
<PAGE>

       Loans evidenced by any such Note and interest thereon shall at all times
       (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.1) be represented by
       one or more Notes payable to the order of the payee named therein and its
       registered assigns. A Note and the obligations evidenced thereby may be
       assigned or otherwise transferred in whole or in part only by
       registration of such assignment or transfer of such Note and the
       obligation evidenced thereby in the Register (and each Note shall
       expressly so provide).  Any assignment or transfer of all or part of an
       obligation evidenced by a Note shall be registered in the Register only
       upon surrender for registration of assignment or transfer of the Note
       evidencing such obligation, accompanied by an Assignment Agreement duly
       executed by the assignor thereof, and thereupon, if requested by the
       assignee, one or more new Notes shall be issued by Company to the
       designated assignee marked "exchanged".  No assignment of a Note and the
       obligation evidenced thereby shall be effective unless it shall have been
       recorded in the Register by Administrative Agent as provided in this
       Section.

Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from
the date made through maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate

extent accrued on the amount being prepaid) and at maturity (including final
maturity); PROVIDED that in the event any Swing Line Loans or any Working
Capital Loans or any Acquisition Loans that are Base Rate Loans are prepaid
pursuant to subsection 2.4B(i), interest accrued on such Swing Line Loans or
Working Capital Loans or Acquisition Loans through the date of such prepayment
shall be payable on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date applicable to Base
Rate Loans (or, if earlier, at final maturity).

       D.     CONVERSION OR CONTINUATION.  Subject to the provisions of
subsection 2.6, Company shall have the option (i) to convert at any time all or
any part of its outstanding Loans equal to $1,000,000 and multiples of $100,000

bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate or all or any part of its outstanding
Loans equal to $1,000,000 and multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount
from Loans bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate to Loans bearing interest at
the Base Rate or (ii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a
Eurodollar Rate Loan, to continue all or any portion of such Loan equal to
$1,000,000 and multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount as a Eurodollar
Rate Loan.

              Company shall deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation to
Administrative Agent no later than 10:00 A.M. (Chicago time) on the proposed
conversion date (in the case of a conversion to a Base Rate Loan) and at least

the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan).
Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall specify (i) the proposed
conversion/continuation date (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the amount
and type of the Loan to be

converted/continued, (iii) the nature of the proposed conversion/continuation,
(iv) in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate
Loan, the requested Interest Period, and (v) in the case of a conversion to, or
a continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan, that no Potential Event of Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of the date of the proposed
conversion/continuation.  In lieu of delivering the above-described Notice of
Conversion/Continuation, Company may give Administrative Agent telephonic notice
by the required time of any proposed conversion/continuation under this
subsection 2.2D; PROVIDED that such notice shall be promptly confirmed in
writing by delivery of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation to Administrative
Agent on or before the proposed conversion/continuation date.  Upon receipt of
written or telephonic notice of any proposed conversion/continuation under this
subsection 2.2D, Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit such notice by
telefacsimile or telephone to each Lender.

              Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall incur any
liability to Company in acting upon any telephonic notice referred to above that
Administrative Agent believes in good faith to have been given by a duly
authorized officer or other person authorized to act on behalf of Company or for
otherwise acting in good faith under this subsection 2.2D, and upon conversion
or continuation of the applicable basis for determining the interest rate with
respect to any Loans in accordance with this Agreement pursuant to any such
telephonic notice Company shall have effected a conversion or continuation, as
the case may be, hereunder.

              Except as otherwise provided in subsections 2.6B, 2.6C and 2.6G, a
Notice of Conversion/Continuation for conversion to, or continuation of, a
Eurodollar Rate Loan (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) shall be irrevocable
on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date, and Company shall be
bound to effect a conversion or continuation in accordance therewith or to pay
the amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.6D as a result of the failure to
effect such continuation/conversion.

       E.     DEFAULT RATE. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of
any Event of Default, at the request of Administrative Agent, the outstanding
principal amount of all Loans and, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
any interest payments thereon not paid when due and any fees and other amounts
then due and payable hereunder, shall thereafter bear interest (including
post-petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other
applicable bankruptcy laws) payable upon demand at a rate that is 2% per annum
in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable under this Agreement with
respect to the applicable Loans (or, in the case of any such fees and other
amounts, at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate
otherwise payable under this Agreement for Base Rate Loans that are Working
Capital Loans); PROVIDED that, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, upon the
expiration of the Interest Period in effect at the time any such increase in
interest rate is effective such Eurodollar Rate Loans shall thereupon become
Base Rate Loans and shall thereafter bear interest payable upon demand at a rate
which is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable under
this Agreement for Base Rate Loans.  Payment or acceptance of the increased
rates of interest provided for in this subsection 2.2E is not a permitted
alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of
Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of any Agent or
any Lender.

       F.     COMPUTATION OF INTEREST.  Interest on the Loans shall be computed
(i) in the case of Base Rate Loans, on the basis of a 365-day or 366-day year,
as the case may be, and (ii) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, on the basis
of a 360-day year, in each case for the actual number of days

                                          54
<PAGE>

elapsed in the period during which it accrues.  In computing interest on any
Loan, the date of the making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period
applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted
from a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Eurodollar Rate Loan
to such Base Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be included, and the date of
payment of such Loan (if payment is received prior to 2:00 P.M. (Chicago time))
or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with
respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the date
of conversion of such Base Rate Loan to such Eurodollar Rate Loan, as the case
may be, shall be excluded, provided that if a Loan is repaid on the same day on
which it is made, one day's interest shall be paid on that Loan.

              Subject to the last sentence of subsection 2.2A(i)(a), the last
sentence of subsection 2.3A(i) and the last sentence of subsection 2.3A(ii), the
Consolidated Leverage Ratio used to compute the applicable margin for Tranche A
Term Loans, Working  Capital Loans and Acquisition Loans for purposes of
subsection 2.2A(i) and subsection 3.2 and the applicable commitment fee rates
for the Working Capital Loan Commitments and the Acquisition Loan Commitments
for purposes of subsection 2.3A (such applicable margins and commitment fee
rates being referred to in this subsection 2.3C as the "APPLICABLE MARGINS") for
any day shall be the Consolidated Leverage Ratio set forth in the Margin
Determination Certificate most recently delivered by Company to Administrative
Agent on or prior to such day pursuant to subsection 6.1(iv).  Changes in the
Applicable Margins resulting from a change in the Consolidated Leverage Ratio
shall become effective on the first Business Day following delivery by Company
to Administrative Agent of a new Margin Determination Certificate pursuant to
subsection 6.1(iv).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company may, in its sole
discretion, within ten Business Days following the end of any Fiscal Quarter,
deliver to Administrative Agent a written estimate (the "LEVERAGE RATIO
ESTIMATE") setting forth Company's good faith estimate of the Consolidated
Leverage Ratio (based on calculations contained in a Margin Determination
Certificate) that will be set forth in the next Margin Determination Certificate
required to be delivered by Company to Administrative Agent pursuant to
subsection 6.1(iv).  In the event that the Leverage Ratio Estimate indicates
that there would be a change in the Applicable Margins resulting from a change
in the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, such change will become effective on the
first Business Day following delivery of the Leverage Ratio Estimate.  In the
event that, once the next Margin Determination Certificate is delivered, the
Consolidated Leverage Ratio as set forth in such Margin Determination
Certificate differs from that calculated in the Leverage Ratio Estimate
delivered for the Fiscal Quarter with respect to which such

                                          57
<PAGE>

Margin Determination Certificate has been delivered, and such difference results
in Applicable Margins which are greater or lesser than the Applicable Margins
theretofore in effect, then (A) such greater or lesser Applicable Margins shall
be deemed to be in effect for all purposes of this Agreement from the first
Business Day following the delivery of the Leverage Ratio Estimate and (B) if
Company shall have theretofore made any payment of interest, commitment fees or
letter of credit fees in respect of the period from the first Business Day
following the delivery of the Leverage Ratio Estimate to the Business Day
following actual date of delivery of the Margin Determination Certificate, then,
on the next Quarterly Date, either (x) if the new Applicable Margins are greater
than the Applicable Margins theretofore in effect, Company shall pay as a
supplemental payment of interest, commitment fees and/or letter of credit fees,
as applicable, an amount which equals the difference between the amount of
interest, commitment fees and/or letter of credit fees that would otherwise have
been paid based on such new Consolidated Leverage Ratio and the amount of
interest, commitment fees and/or letter of credit fees, as applicable, actually
so paid, or (y) if the new Applicable Margins are less than the Applicable
Margins theretofore in effect, an amount shall be deducted from the interest,
commitment fees and/or letter of credit fees, as applicable, then otherwise
payable in an amount which equals the difference between the amount of interest,
commitment fees and/or letter of credit fees, as applicable, so paid and the
amount of interest, commitment fees and/or letter of credit fees, as applicable,
that would otherwise have been paid based on such new Consolidated Leverage
Ratio (or, if no such payment is owed by Company to the applicable Lenders on
such next Quarterly Date, or if such amount owed by Company is less than such
difference, the applicable Lenders shall pay to Company on such next Quarterly
Date the amount of such difference less the amount, if any, owed by Company to
such Lenders on such Quarterly Date).

              50% of such Net Securities Proceeds in the case of the proceeds of
              equity Securities; PROVIDED the amount of such prepayment
              hereunder in respect of Net Securities Proceeds constituting the
              proceeds of the issuance and sale of equity Securities shall be
              limited to the amount necessary to reduce the amount of
              Indebtedness included in the calculation of the Consolidated
              Leverage Ratio to the amount that would result, on a pro forma
              basis after giving effect to such prepayment, in a Consolidated
              Leverage Ratio of 3.50:1.00 or less at the end of the Fiscal
              Quarter then most recently ended and (ii) no such prepayment in
              respect of Net Securities Proceeds constituting the proceeds of
              the issuance and sale of Equity Securities shall be required to be
              made at such times as the Consolidated Leverage Ratio at the end

              pursuant to subsection 6.1(iv)) is equal to or less than
              3.50:1.00.

                     (d)    PREPAYMENTS AND REDUCTIONS FROM CONSOLIDATED EXCESS
              CASH FLOW.  In the event that there shall be Consolidated Excess

              actually made in such Fiscal Year pursuant to subsection 2.4B(i);
              PROVIDED that (i) the amount of such prepayment hereunder in
              respect of Excess Cash Flow shall be limited to the amount
              necessary to reduce the amount of Indebtedness included in the
              calculation of the Consolidated Leverage Ratio to the amount that
              would result, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such
              prepayment, in a Consolidated Leverage Ratio of 3.50:1 or less at
              the end of the Fiscal Quarter then

              most recently ended and (ii) if as of the last day of such Fiscal
              Year, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as evidenced by a Margin
              Determination Certificate delivered to Administrative Agent
              pursuant to subsection 6.1(iv)) is equal to or less than
              3.50:1.00, no prepayments of any Loans and no reduction of the
              Acquisition Loan Commitments or amount of Consolidated Excess Cash
              Flow need be made.

                     (e)    CALCULATIONS OF NET PROCEEDS AMOUNTS; ADDITIONAL
              PREPAYMENTS AND REDUCTIONS BASED ON SUBSEQUENT CALCULATIONS.
              Concurrently with any prepayment of the Loans and/or reduction of
              the Acquisition Loan Commitments pursuant to subsections
              2.4B(iii)(a)-(d) and on the date any such prepayment and/or
              reduction would have been required to be made pursuant to
              subsections 2.4B(iii)(a) or 2.4B(iii)(b) but for the application
              of the provisos to such subsections, Company shall deliver to
              Administrative Agent an Officer's Certificate demonstrating the
              calculation of the amount (the "NET PROCEEDS AMOUNT") of the
              applicable Net Asset Sale Proceeds or Net Insurance/Condemnation
              Proceeds, or Net Securities Proceeds (as such term is defined in
              subsection 2.4B(iii)(c)), or the applicable Consolidated Excess
              Cash Flow, as the case may be (and which, in the case of
              Consolidated Excess Cash Flow, may be the Officer's Certificate
              delivered pursuant to subsection 6.1(iii) with respect to the
              financial statements for the Fiscal Year to which such excess cash
              flow relates if such Officer's Certificate contains the required
              information).  In the event that Company shall subsequently
              determine that the actual Net Proceeds Amount was greater than the
              amount set forth in such Officer's Certificate, Company shall
              promptly make an additional prepayment of the Loans (and/or, if
              applicable, the Acquisition Loan Commitments shall be permanently
              reduced) in an amount equal to the amount of such excess, and
              Company shall concurrently therewith deliver to Administrative
              Agent an Officer's Certificate demonstrating the derivation of the
              additional Net Proceeds Amount resulting in such excess.

                     (f)    Company shall not be required to make any prepayment
              of Loans otherwise required by subsections 2.4B(iii)(a), (b), (c)
              or (d) (and no reduction of the Acquisition Loan Commitments shall
              take effect) unless and until the aggregate principal amount of
              the Loans to be prepaid and/or Acquisition Loan Commitments to be
              reduced is at least equal to $250,000.

              (iv)   APPLICATION OF PREPAYMENTS.

              to subsection 2.4B(i) shall be applied to the Loans as specified
              by Company in the applicable notice of prepayment; PROVIDED that
              in the event Company fails to specify the Loans to which any such
              prepayment shall be applied, such prepayment shall be applied
              FIRST to repay outstanding Swing Line Loans to the full extent
              thereof, SECOND to repay outstanding Term Loans to the full extent
              thereof and THIRD to repay outstanding Acquisition Loans to the
              full extent thereof and FOURTH to repay outstanding Working

              accordance with the respective outstanding principal amounts
              thereof) and to reduce the scheduled installments of principal of
              the Tranche A Term Loans, the Tranche B Term Loans, and the
              Tranche D Term Loans set forth in subsection 2.4A(i), 2.4A(ii) and

                     (b)    APPLICATION OF MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS BY TYPE OF
              LOANS.  Any amount (the "Applied Amount") required to be applied
              as a mandatory prepayment of the Loans and/or a reduction of the
              Acquisition Loan Commitments pursuant to subsections
              2.4B(iii)(a)-(d) shall be applied FIRST to prepay the Term Loans
              to the full extent thereof, SECOND, to the extent of any remaining
              portion of the Applied Amount, to prepay the Acquisition Loans to
              the full extent thereof and to permanently reduce the Acquisition
              Loan Commitments by the amount of such prepayment, and THIRD, to
              the extent of any remaining portion of the Applied Amount, to
              prepay the Swing Line Loans and thereafter to prepay Working
              Capital Loans to the full extent thereof but in either case
              without permanently reducing the Working Capital Loan Commitments
              by the amount of such prepayments.

                     (c)    APPLICATION OF MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS OF TERM LOANS
              TO TRANCHE A TERM LOANS, TRANCHE B TERM LOANS AND TRANCHE D TERM
              LOANS AND THE SCHEDULED INSTALLMENTS OF PRINCIPAL THEREOF.  Any
              mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans pursuant to subsection
              2.4B(iii) shall be applied to prepay the Tranche A Term Loans, the
              Tranche B Term Loans and the Tranche D Term Loans on a pro rata
              basis (in accordance with the respective outstanding principal
              amounts thereof) and to reduce the scheduled installments of
              principal of the Tranche A Term Loans, the Tranche B Term Loans
              and the Tranche D Term Loans set forth in subsections 2.4A(i),
              2.4A(ii) and 2.4A(iii) in forward order of maturity.
              Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any mandatory
              prepayment of the Tranche B Term Loans and the Tranche D Term
              Loans, Company may elect to offer the Tranche B Term Loan Lenders
              and/or the Tranche D Term Loan Lenders the option to waive the
              right to receive the amount of such mandatory prepayment of the
              Tranche B Term Loans or the Tranche D Term Loans, as applicable.
              If any Tranche B Term Loan Lender or Lenders or any Tranche D Term
              Loan Lender or Lenders, as applicable, elect to waive the right to
              receive the amount of such mandatory prepayment, 50% of the amount
              that otherwise would have been applied to mandatorily prepay the
              Tranche B Term Loans or the Tranche D Term Loans, as applicable,
              of such Lender or Lenders shall be applied instead to the further
              prepayment of the Tranche A Term Loans (and any such prepayment
              shall reduce scheduled installments of principal of the Tranche A
              Term Loans set forth in subsection 2.4A(i) in forward order of
              maturity), to the extent any are then outstanding and the
              remaining amount shall be retained by Company.

                     (d)    APPLICATION OF PREPAYMENTS TO BASE RATE LOANS AND
              EURODOLLAR RATE LOANS.  Considering Tranche A Term Loans,
              Tranche B Term Loans, Tranche D Term Loans, Working Capital Loans
              and Acquisition Loans being prepaid separately, any prepayment
              thereof shall be applied as specified by Company to Administrative
              Agent on or prior to the date of the relevant prepayment or,
              absent such specification, first to Base Rate Loans to the full
              extent thereof before application to Eurodollar

                                          66

              any payments required to be made by Company pursuant to subsection
              2.6D.

       B.     General Provisions Regarding Payments.

              (i)    MANNER AND TIME OF PAYMENT.  All payments by Company of
       principal, interest, fees and other Obligations hereunder and under the
       Notes shall be made in Dollars in same day funds, without defense, setoff
       or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to
       Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 P.M. (Chicago time) on the date
       due at the Funding and Payment Office for the account of Lenders; funds
       received by Administrative Agent after that time on such due date shall
       be deemed to have been paid by Company on the next succeeding Business
       Day.

              (ii)   APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS TO PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST.  Except
       as provided in subsection 2.2C, all payments in respect of the principal
       amount of any Loan shall include payment of accrued interest on the
       principal amount being repaid or prepaid, and all such payments (and, in
       any event, any payments in respect of any Loan on a date when interest is
       due and payable with respect to such Loan) shall be applied to the
       payment of interest before application to principal.

              (iii)  APPORTIONMENT OF PAYMENTS.  Aggregate principal and
       interest payments in respect of Loans  shall be apportioned among all
       outstanding Loans to which such payments relate, in each case
       proportionately to Lenders' respective Pro Rata Shares.  Administrative
       Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender, at its primary address
       set forth below its name on the appropriate signature page hereof or at
       such other address as such Lender may request, its Pro Rata Share of all
       such payments received by Administrative Agent and the commitment fees of
       such Lender when received by Administrative Agent pursuant to
       subsection 2.3.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
       subsection 2.4C(iii), if, pursuant to the provisions of subsection 2.6C,
       any Notice of Conversion/Continuation is withdrawn as to any Affected
       Lender or if any Affected Lender makes Base Rate Loans in lieu of its Pro
       Rata Share of any Eurodollar Rate Loans, Administrative Agent shall give
       effect thereto in apportioning payments received thereafter.

              (iv)   PAYMENTS ON BUSINESS DAYS.  Whenever any payment to be made
       hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day,
       such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such
       extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of
       interest hereunder or of the commitment fees hereunder, as the case may
       be.

       C.     Application of Proceeds of Collateral and Payments Under
Guaranties

       A.     DETERMINATION OF APPLICABLE INTEREST RATE.  As soon as practicable
after 11:00 A.M. (London time) on each Interest Rate Determination Date,
Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest
error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that
shall apply to the Eurodollar Rate Loans for which an interest rate is then
being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give
notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Company and
each Lender.

       B.     INABILITY TO DETERMINE APPLICABLE INTEREST RATE.  In the event
that Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be
final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), on any Interest Rate
Determination Date with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loans, that deposits in
U.S. Dollars for the relevant Interest Period are not available to
Administrative Agent in the London interbank market or by reason of
circumstances affecting the London interbank market adequate and fair means do
not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such Loans on the
basis provided for in the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, Administrative
Agent shall on such date give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed
in writing) to Company and each Lender of such determination, whereupon (i) no
Loans may be made as, or converted to, Eurodollar Rate Loans until such time as
Administrative Agent notifies Company and Lenders that the circumstances giving
rise to such notice no longer exist and (ii) any Notice of Borrowing or Notice
of Conversion/Continuation given by Company with respect to the Loans in respect
of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be rescinded by Company
or, at the sole option of Company, the proposed Loans requested to be made in
such Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion, Continuation, as the case may
be, shall instead be made as, or converted to or continued as, Base Rate Loans.

       C.     ILLEGALITY OR IMPRACTICABILITY OF EURODOLLAR RATE LOANS.  In the
event that on any date any Lender shall have determined (which determination
shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but shall be
made only after consultation with Company and Administrative Agent) that the
making, maintaining or continuation of its Eurodollar Rate Loans has become
unlawful as a result of the introduction of, or any change  in or in the
interpretation of, any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or
order (whether or not having the force of law even though the failure to comply
therewith would not be unlawful), in each case after the date hereof, then, and
in any such event, such Lender shall be an "AFFECTED LENDER" and it shall on
that day give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to
Company and Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice
Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender).  Thereafter
(a) the obligation of the Affected Lender to make Loans as, or to convert Loans
to, Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such notice shall be
withdrawn by the Affected Lender (which such Affected Lender shall do promptly
upon obtaining actual knowledge that the circumstance giving rise to such
suspension no longer exist), (b) to the extent such determination by the
Affected Lender relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested by
Company pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of
Conversion/Continuation, the Affected Lender shall make such Loan as (or convert
such Loan to, as the case may be) a Base Rate Loan (with interest thereon being
payable on the same date or dates on which interest is payable in respect of the
corresponding Loans of Lenders that are not Affected Lenders), (c) the Affected
Lender's obligation to maintain its

                                          70
<PAGE>

outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans (the "AFFECTED LOANS") shall be terminated at
the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Interest Period then in effect
with respect to the Affected Loans or when required by law, and (d) the Affected
Loans shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans on the date of such
termination (with interest thereon being payable on the same date or dates on
which interest is payable in respect of the corresponding Loans of Lenders that
are not Affected Lenders).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a
determination by an Affected Lender as described above relates to a Eurodollar
Rate Loan then being requested by Company pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing or a
Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Company shall have the option, subject to the
provisions of subsection 2.6D, to rescind such Notice of Borrowing or Notice of
Conversion/Continuation as to all Lenders by giving notice (by telefacsimile or
by telephone confirmed in writing) to Administrative Agent of such rescission on
the date on which the Affected Lender gives notice of its determination as
described above (which notice of rescission Administrative Agent shall promptly
transmit to each other Lender).  Except as provided in the immediately preceding
sentence, nothing in this subsection 2.6C shall affect the obligation of any
Lender other than an Affected Lender to make or maintain Loans as, or to convert
Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

       D.     COMPENSATION FOR BREAKAGE OR NON-COMMENCEMENT OF INTEREST PERIODS.
Company shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by that Lender (which
request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts), for all
reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid by that
Lender to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its Eurodollar Rate
Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by that Lender in connection
with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds but excluding any loss of
margin for any period after any failure to borrow, continue or convert any
Eurodollar Loans, or any prepayment of Eurodollar Loans described below) which
that Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by that
Lender) a borrowing of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date
specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a telephonic request for
borrowing, or a conversion to or continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does
not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Conversion/Continuation or
a telephonic request for conversion or continuation, (ii) if any prepayment
(including any prepayment pursuant to subsection 2.4B(i)) or other principal
payment or any conversion of any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans occurs on a date
prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan, or (iii) if
any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans is not made on any date
specified in a notice of prepayment given by Company.

       E.     BOOKING OF EURODOLLAR RATE LOANS.  Any Lender may make, carry or
transfer Eurodollar Rate Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its branch
offices or the office of an Affiliate of that Lender; provided that Company
shall not be liable for any additional amounts pursuant to subsection 2.7 as a
result thereof nor shall any such action, by itself, cause such Lender to become
an Affected Lender.

       F.     ASSUMPTIONS CONCERNING FUNDING OF EURODOLLAR RATE LOANS.
Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this subsection 2.6 and
under subsection 2.7A shall be made as though that Lender had actually funded
each of its relevant Eurodollar Rate Loans through the purchase of a Eurodollar
deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to clause (i) of the
definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such
Eurodollar Rate Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest
Period and through the transfer of such Eurodollar deposit from an offshore
office of that Lender to a domestic office of that Lender in the United States
of America; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that each Lender may fund each of its Eurodollar

                                          71
<PAGE>

Rate Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be
utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable under this
subsection 2.6 and under subsection 2.7A.

       G.     EURODOLLAR RATE LOANS AFTER DEFAULT.  After the occurrence of and
during the continuation of a Potential Event of Default or an Event of Default,
Company may not elect to have a Loan be made or maintained as, or converted to,
a Eurodollar Rate Loan after the expiration of any Interest Period then in
effect for that Loan.

 .4     INCREASED COSTS; TAXES; CAPITAL ADEQUACY.

       A.     COMPENSATION FOR INCREASED COSTS AND TAXES.  Subject to the
provisions of subsection 2.7B (which shall be controlling with respect to the
matters covered thereby), in the event that any Lender shall determine (which
determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding
upon all parties hereto) that any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation
or order, or any change therein or in the interpretation, administration or
application thereof (including the introduction of any new law, treaty or
governmental rule, regulation of order), or any determination of a court or
governmental authority, in each case that becomes effective after the date
hereof (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof and in
the case of any other Lender if such change shall have affected a class of
Lenders generally) or after the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to
which such Lender became a Lender (in the case of any other Lender if such
change shall not have affected a class of Lenders generally), or compliance by
such Lender with any guideline, request or directive issued or made after the
date hereof by any central bank or other governmental or quasi-governmental
authority (whether or not having the force of law):

              (i)    imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve
       (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other
       reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar
       requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in
       or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended
       by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender
       (other than any such reserve or other requirements with respect to
       Eurodollar Rate Loans that are reflected in the definition of Adjusted
       Eurodollar Rate); or

              (ii)   imposes any other condition (other than with respect to a
       tax matter) on or affecting such Lender (or its applicable lending
       office) or its obligations hereunder or the London interbank market;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of
agreeing to make, making or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Loans hereunder or to
reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable
lending office) with respect thereto; then, in any such case, Company shall pay
to such Lender, within 15 days after receipt of the statement referred to in the
next sentence, such additional amount or amounts as may be necessary to
compensate such Lender for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts
received or receivable hereunder.  Such Lender shall promptly deliver to Company
(with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in
reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such
Lender under this subsection 2.7A, which statement shall be conclusive and
binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

                                          72
<PAGE>

       B.     WITHHOLDING OF TAXES.

              (i)    PAYMENTS TO BE FREE AND CLEAR.  All sums payable by Company
       under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall (except to the
       extent required by law) be paid free and clear of, and without any
       deduction on account of, any Tax .

              (ii)   GROSSING-UP OF PAYMENTS.  If Company is required by law to
       make any deduction or withholding on account of any such Tax from any sum
       paid or payable by Company to Administrative Agent or any Lender under
       any of the Loan Documents:

                     (a)    Company shall pay any such Tax before the date on
              which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made for its
              own account;

                     (b)    the sum payable by Company in respect of which the
              relevant deduction, withholding or payment is required shall be
              increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making
              of that deduction, withholding or payment, Administrative Agent or
              such Lender, as the case may be, receives on the due date a net
              sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction,
              withholding or payment been required or made; and

                     (c)    within 30 days after paying any sum from which it is
              required by law to make any deduction or withholding, or within 30
              days after the due date of payment of any Tax which it is required
              by clause (a) above to pay (whichever is later), Company shall
              deliver to Administrative Agent evidence available to the Company
              reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent of such deduction,
              withholding or payment and of the remittance thereof to the
              relevant taxing or other authority;

       PROVIDED that no such additional amount shall be required to be paid to
       any Lender or Agent under clause (b) above except to the extent that any
       change after the date hereof (in the case of each Lender and Agent listed
       on the signature pages hereof) or after the date of the Assignment
       Agreement pursuant to which such Lender became a Lender (in the case of
       each other Lender) in any such requirement for a deduction, withholding
       or payment as is mentioned therein shall result in an increase in the
       rate of such deduction, withholding or payment from that in effect at the
       date of this Agreement or at the date of such Assignment Agreement, as
       the case may be, in respect of payments to such Lender or Agent.

              (iii)  If any Taxes are directly asserted against either of the
       Agents or any Lender with respect to any payment received by such Agents
       or such Lender under the Agreement, such Agents or such Lender may pay
       such Taxes and the Company will promptly pay to such Person such
       additional amount (including any penalties, interest or expenses) as is
       necessary in order that the net amount received by such Person shall
       equal the amount of such Taxes paid by such Person; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
       that the Company shall not be obligated to make payment to the Lenders or
       the Agents (as the case may be) pursuant to this sentence in respect of
       penalties or interest attributable to any Taxes, if written demand
       therefor has not been made by such Lenders or the Agents within 60 days
       from the date on which such Lenders or the Agents knew of the imposition
       of Taxes by the relevant taxing authority or for any additional
       imposition which may arise from the failure of the Lenders or Agents to
       apply payments in accordance with the applicable tax law after the
       Company has made the

                                          73
<PAGE>

       payments required hereunder; PROVIDED, FURTHER, HOWEVER, that the Company
       shall not be required to pay any such additional amounts except to the
       extent that any change after the date hereof (in the case of each Lender
       and Agent listed on the signature pages hereof) or after the date of the
       Assignment Agreement pursuant to which such Lender became a Lender (in
       the case of each other Lender) in any such requirement for the deduction,
       withholding or payment of Taxes shall result in an increase in the rate
       of such deduction, withholding or payment from that in effect at the date
       of this Agreement or at the date of such Assignment Agreement, as the
       case may be, in respect of payments to such Lender or Agent.  After a
       Lender or an Agent (as the case may be) learns of the imposition of
       Taxes, such Lender or Agent will act in good faith to notify the Company
       of their obligations hereunder as soon as reasonably possible.

              (iv)   EVIDENCE OF EXEMPTION FROM U.S. WITHHOLDING TAX.

                     (a)    Each Lender and Agent that is not (i) a citizen or
              resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation, partnership or
              other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the
              United States, or any state or other political subdivision
              thereof, (iii) an estate that is subject to U.S. federal income
              taxation regardless of the source of its income or (iv) a trust,
              if any only if (A) a court within the United States is able to
              exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust
              and (B) one or more U.S. persons has the authority to control all
              substantial decisions of the trust (for purposes of this
              subsection 2.7B(iv), any such Person referred to in clauses (i)
              through (iv) being a "NON-US LENDER OR AGENT") shall deliver to
              Administrative Agent and to Company on or prior to the Closing
              Date (in the case of each Lender and Agent listed on the signature
              pages hereof) or on or prior to the date of the Assignment
              Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of
              each other Lender), and at such other times as may be necessary in
              the determination of Company or Administrative Agent (each in the
              reasonable exercise of its discretion), (1) two or more (as
              Company or Administrative Agent reasonably request) original
              copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8EC1 (or any
              successor forms), properly completed and duly executed by such
              Lender, together with any other certificate or statement of
              exemption required under the Internal Revenue Code or the
              regulations issued thereunder to establish that such Lender is not
              subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal
              income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of
              principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under any of
              the Loan Documents or (2) if such Lender is not a "bank" or other
              Person described in Section 881(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code
              and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or
              W-8EC1 pursuant to clause (1) above, a Certificate re Non-Bank
              Status together with two or more (as Company or Administrative
              Agent reasonably request) original copies of Internal Revenue
              Service Form W-8 (or any successor form), properly completed and
              duly executed by such Lender, together with any other certificate
              or statement of exemption required under the Internal Revenue Code
              or the regulations issued thereunder to establish that such Lender
              is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States
              federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of
              interest payable under any of the Loan Documents.

                                          74
<PAGE>

                     (b)    Each Lender required to deliver any forms,
              certificates or other evidence with respect to United States
              federal income tax withholding matters pursuant to subsection
              2.7B(iv)(a) hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial
              delivery by such Lender of such forms, certificates or other
              evidence, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances
              renders such forms, certificates or other evidence obsolete or
              inaccurate in any material respect, that such Lender shall on or
              before the date that any such form, certification or other
              evidence becomes obsolete or inaccurate (1) deliver to
              Administrative Agent and to Company two or more (as Company or
              Administrative Agent may reasonably request) new original copies
              of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8EC1, or a
              Certificate re Non-Bank Status and two or more (as Company or
              Administrative Agent may reasonably request) new original copies
              of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8, as the case may be, properly
              completed and duly executed by such Lender, together with any
              other certificate or statement of exemption required in order to
              confirm or establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction
              or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to
              payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents or (2) notify
              Administrative Agent and Company of its inability to deliver any
              such forms, certificates or other evidence.  Each Lender and each
              Agent agrees, to the extent reasonable and without material cost
              to it, to provide to Company and Administrative Agent such other
              applicable forms or certificates that would reduce or eliminate
              any Tax.

                     (c)    Company shall not be required to pay any additional
              amount to any Non-US Lender or Agent under subsection 2.7B(ii) or
              2.7B(iii)if such Lender or Agent shall have failed to satisfy the
              requirements of clause (a) or (b)(1) of this subsection 2.7B(iv);
              PROVIDED that if such Lender shall have satisfied the requirements
              of subsection 2.7B(iv)(a) on the Closing Date (in the case of each
              Lender listed on the signature pages hereof) or on the date of the
              Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it became a Lender (in the
              case of each other Lender), nothing in this subsection 2.7B(iv)(c)
              shall relieve Company of its obligation to pay any additional
              amounts pursuant to subsection 2.7B(ii) in the event that, as a
              result of any change in any applicable law, treaty or governmental
              rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation,
              administration or application thereof, such Lender is no longer
              properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence
              at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender is not
              subject to withholding as described in subsection 2.7B(iv)(a).

              (v)    If Company determines in good faith that a reasonable basis
       exists for contesting the imposition of a Tax with respect to a Lender or
       either of the Agents, if requested by Company, the relevant Lender or
       Agent, as the case may be, shall reasonably cooperate with Company in
       challenging such Tax at Company's expense; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
       nothing in this subsection 2.7B(v) shall require any Lender to submit to
       Company or any other Person any tax returns or any part thereof, or to
       prepare or file any tax returns other than as such Lender in its sole
       discretion shall determine.

              (vi)   If a Lender or an Agent shall receive a refund (including
       any offset or credits) from a taxing authority (as a result of any error
       in the imposition of Taxes by such taxing authority) of any Taxes paid by
       Company pursuant to subsection 2.7B(ii) and 2.7B(iii)

                                          75
<PAGE>

       above, such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) shall promptly pay
       Company the amount so received, with interest, if any, from the taxing
       authority with respect to such refund, net of any tax liability incurred
       by such Lender or Agent that is attributable to the receipt of such
       refund and such interest; PROVIDED that such Lender or Agent, as the case
       may be, shall be entitled to use reasonable methods to calculate the
       allocation of any such refund payable to Company so long as such method
       does not result in a materially reduced amount being paid to Company as
       compared to similarly situated borrowers.

              (vii)  Each Lender and each Agent agrees, to the extent reasonable
       and without material cost to it, to cooperate with the Company to
       minimize any amounts payable by the Company under this Section 2.7B;
       PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that nothing in this Section 2.7B shall require any
       Lender to take any action which, in the sole discretion of such Lender,
       is inconsistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory
       restrictions.

       C.     CAPITAL ADEQUACY ADJUSTMENT.  If any Lender shall have determined
that the adoption, effectiveness, phase-in or applicability after the date
hereof (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof and in
the case of any other Lender if such change shall have affected a class of
Lenders generally) or after the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to
which such Lender became a Lender (in the case of any other Lender if such
change shall not have affected a class of Lenders generally) of any law, rule or
regulation (or any provision thereof) regarding capital adequacy, or any change
after such date therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof by
any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its
applicable lending office) with any guideline, request or directive regarding
capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such
governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency issued after such
date, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital
of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of,
or with reference to, such Lender's Loans or Commitments or Letters of Credit or
participations therein or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans
or the Letters of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such
controlling corporation could have achieved but for such adoption,
effectiveness, phase-in, applicability, change or compliance (taking into
consideration the policies of such Lender or such controlling corporation with
regard to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within 15 days after
receipt by Company from such Lender of the statement referred to in the next
sentence, Company shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as
will compensate such Lender or such controlling corporation for such reduction.
Such Lender shall deliver to Company (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a
written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of the

 .5     OBLIGATION OF LENDERS AND ISSUING LENDERS TO MITIGATE; REPLACEMENT OF
LENDER.

       A.     MITIGATION.  Each Lender and Issuing Lender agrees that, as
promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender or Issuing Lender
responsible for administering the Loans or Letters of Credit of such Lender or
Issuing Lender, as the case may be, becomes aware of the occurrence of an event
or the existence of a condition that would cause such Lender to become an
Affected Lender or that would entitle such Lender or Issuing Lender to receive
payments under subsection 2.7 or subsection 3.6, it will, to the extent not
inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender or Issuing Lender and any
applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts (i) to make,
issue, fund or maintain the Commitments of such Lender or the affected Loans or
Letters of Credit of such Lender or Issuing Lender through another lending or
letter of credit office of such Lender or Issuing Lender, or (ii) take such
other measures as such Lender or Issuing Lender may deem reasonable, if as a
result thereof the circumstances which would cause such Lender to be an Affected
Lender would cease to exist or the additional amounts which would otherwise be
required to be paid to such Lender or Issuing Lender pursuant to subsection 2.7
or subsection 3.6 would be reduced and if, as determined by such Lender or
Issuing Lender in its sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or
maintaining of such Commitments or Loans or Letters of Credit through such other
lending or letter of credit office or in accordance with such other measures, as
the case may be, would not otherwise materially adversely affect such
Commitments or Loans or Letters of Credit or the interests of such Lender or
Issuing Lender; PROVIDED that such Lender or Issuing Lender will not be
obligated to utilize such other lending or letter of credit office pursuant to
this subsection 2.8 unless Company agrees to pay all incremental expenses
incurred by such Lender or Issuing Lender as a result of utilizing such other
lending or letter of credit office as described in clause (i) above.  A
certificate as to the amount of any such expenses payable by Company pursuant to
this subsection 2.8 (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting
such amount) submitted by such Lender or Issuing Lender to Company (with a copy
to Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

       B.     REPLACEMENT OF LENDER.  If Company receives a notice of amounts
due pursuant to subsection 2.7A, subsection 2.7B or subsection 2.7C or
subsection 3.6 from a Lender or a Lender becomes an Affected Lender, a
Non-Funding Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender (any such Lender, a "Subject
Lender"), so long as (i) Company has obtained a commitment from another Lender
or an Eligible Assignee to purchase at par the Subject Lender's Loans and assume
the Subject Lender's Commitments and all other obligations of the Subject Lender
hereunder, and (ii) such Lender is not an Issuing Lender with respect to any
Letters of Credit outstanding (unless all such Letters of Credit are terminated
or arrangements acceptable to such Issuing Lender (such as a "back-to-back"
letter of credit) are made, it being understood that a Standby Letter of Credit
issued hereunder shall constitute such an arrangement acceptable to such Issuing
Lender) upon written notice to the Subject Lender and Administrative Agent,
Company may require the Subject Lender to assign all of its Loans and
Commitments to such other Lender or Eligible Assignee pursuant to the provisions
of subsection 10.1B; PROVIDED that, prior to or concurrently with such
replacement (i) Company has paid to the Lender giving such notice all amounts
under subsections 2.6D, 2.7 (if applicable)  and 3.6 (if applicable) through
such date of replacement, (ii) Company or the applicable assignee has paid to
Administrative Agent the processing fee required to be paid by subsection
10.1B(i) and (iii) all of the requirements for such assignment contained in
subsection 10.1B, including, without limitation, the consent of Agents (if
required) and the receipt by Administrative Agent of an executed Assignment
Agreement and other supporting documents, have been fulfilled.

 .1     ISSUANCE OF LETTERS OF CREDIT AND LENDERS' PURCHASE OF PARTICIPATIONS
THEREIN.

       A.     LETTERS OF CREDIT.  In addition to Company requesting that Working

              (i)    any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such
       issuance, the Total Utilization of Working Capital Loan Commitments would
       exceed the Working Capital Loan Commitments then in effect;

              (ii)   any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such

       later than the earlier of (a) the Working Capital Loan Commitment
       Termination Date and (b) the date that is one year from the date of
       issuance of such Standby Letter of Credit; PROVIDED that the immediately
       preceding clause (b) shall not prevent Company from requesting and any
       Issuing Lender from agreeing that a Standby Letter of Credit will
       automatically be extended for one or more successive periods not to
       exceed one year each unless such Issuing Lender elects not to extend for
       any such additional period (such Issuing Lender hereby agreeing that it
       shall only elect not to extend such Standby Letter of Credit if, but only
       if, it has knowledge that an Event of Default has occurred and is
       continuing); or

              (iv)   any Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than
       Dollars.

       B.     MECHANICS OF ISSUANCE.

              (i)    NOTICE OF ISSUANCE.  Whenever Company desires the issuance
       of a Letter of Credit, it shall deliver to Administrative Agent a Notice
       of Issuance of Letter of Credit substantially in the form of EXHIBIT III
       annexed hereto no later than 11:00 A.M. (Chicago time) at least three
       Business Days, or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Issuing
       Lender in any particular instance, in advance of the proposed date of
       issuance.  The Notice of Issuance of Letter of Credit shall specify
       (a) the proposed date of issuance (which shall be a Business Day), (b)

       Letter of Credit, (d) the name and address of the beneficiary, and
       (e) either the verbatim text of the proposed Letter of Credit or the
       proposed terms and conditions thereof, including a precise description of
       any documents to be presented by the beneficiary which, if presented

                                          78
<PAGE>

       by the beneficiary prior to the expiration date of the Letter of Credit,
       would require the Issuing Lender to make payment under the Letter of
       Credit; PROVIDED that the Issuing Lender, in its reasonable discretion,
       may require changes in the text of the proposed Letter of Credit or any
       such documents; and PROVIDED, FURTHER that no Letter of Credit shall
       require payment against a conforming draft to be made thereunder on the
       same business day (under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the office
       of the Issuing Lender to which such draft is required to be presented is
       located) that such draft is presented if such presentation is made after
       10:00 A.M. in the time zone of such office of the Issuing Lender) on such
       business day.

       Company shall notify the applicable Issuing Lender (and Administrative

of any Letter of Credit in the event that any of the matters to which Company is
required to certify in the applicable Notice of Issuance of Letter of Credit as
being true and correct on the proposed date of issuance is not true and correct
as of the proposed date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, and upon the
issuance of any Letter of Credit Company shall be deemed to have re-certified,
as of the date of such issuance, as to the matters to which Company is required
to certify in the applicable Notice of Issuance of Letter of Credit as being
true and correct on the proposed date of issuance.

              (ii)   If Administrative Agent in its capacity as Issuing Lender
       determines that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate
       applicable law or Administrative Agent's internal policies relating to
       Letters of Credit, Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to issue
       such Letter of Credit, and Company may request any other Working Capital
       Lender to issue the Letter of Credit.  If such Working Capital Lender
       agrees to issue such Letter of Credit, such Working Capital Lender shall
       be the Issuing Lender of such Letter of Credit.

              (iii)  ISSUANCE OF LETTER OF CREDIT.  Upon satisfaction or waiver
       (in accordance with subsection 10.6) of the conditions set forth in
       subsection 4.5, the applicable Issuing Lender shall issue the requested
       Letter of Credit in accordance with the such Issuing Lender's standard
       operating procedures.

              (iv)   NOTIFICATION TO WORKING CAPITAL LENDERS.  Upon the issuance
       of any Letter of Credit the applicable Issuing Lender shall promptly
       notify Administrative Agent of such issuance, which notice shall be
       accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit.  Promptly after receipt
       of such notice (or, if Administrative Agent is the Issuing Lender, upon
       issuance of such Letter of Credit), Administrative Agent shall notify
       each Working Capital Lender of the amount of such Lender's respective
       participation in such Letter of Credit, determined in accordance with
       subsection 3.1B(vi).

              (v)    REPORTS TO WORKING CAPITAL LENDERS.  Within 15 days after
       the end of each calendar quarter ending after the Closing Date, so long
       as any Letter of Credit shall have been outstanding during such calendar
       quarter, each Issuing Lender shall deliver to Administrative Agent a
       report setting forth for such calendar quarter the daily aggregate amount
       available to be drawn under the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing
       Lender that were outstanding during such calendar quarter.
       Administrative Agent will promptly send copies of such reports to the
       Working Capital Lenders.

              (vi)   WORKING CAPITAL LENDERS' PURCHASE OF PARTICIPATIONS IN
       LETTERS OF CREDIT.  Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of
       Credit, each Working Capital Lender shall

                                          79
<PAGE>

       be deemed to, and hereby agrees to, have irrevocably purchased from the
       Issuing Lender a participation in such Letter of Credit and any drawings
       honored thereunder in an amount equal to such Working Capital Lender's
       Pro Rata Share of the maximum amount which is or at any time may become
       available to be drawn thereunder.

 .2     LETTER OF CREDIT FEES.

              Company agrees to pay the following amounts with respect to
Letters of Credit issued hereunder:

              (i)    (a) a fronting fee, payable directly to the applicable
       Issuing Lender for its own account, equal to 0.125% per annum of the
       daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and (b) a
       letter of credit fee, payable to Administrative Agent for the account of
       Working Capital Lenders (based upon their respective Pro Rata Shares),
       equal to (x) (1) in the case of Standby Letters of Credit, the applicable
       Eurodollar Rate Margin set forth in subsection 2.2A hereof for Working
       Capital Loans which are Eurodollar Rate Loans and (2) in the case of
       Trade Letters of Credit, 1.25%, in each case MULTIPLIED BY (y) the daily
       amount available from time to time to be drawn under such Letter of
       Credit, each such fronting fee or letter of credit fee to be payable in
       arrears on and to (but excluding) each Quarterly Date and computed on the
       basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed; and

              (ii)   with respect to the issuance, amendment or transfer of each
       Letter of Credit and each payment of a drawing made thereunder (without
       duplication of the fees payable under clause (i) above), documentary and
       processing charges payable directly to the applicable Issuing Lender for
       its own account in accordance with such Issuing Lender's standard
       schedule for such charges in effect at the time of such issuance,
       amendment, transfer or payment, as the case may be or as otherwise agreed
       upon between Company and such Issuing Lender.

3.2, the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit shall be
determined as of the close of business on any date of determination.  Promptly
upon receipt by Administrative Agent of any amount described in clause (i)(b) of
this subsection 3.2, Administrative Agent shall distribute to each Working
Capital Lender its Pro Rata Share of such amount.

 .3     DRAWINGS AND REIMBURSEMENT OF AMOUNTS PAID UNDER LETTERS OF CREDIT.

       A.     RESPONSIBILITY OF ISSUING LENDER WITH RESPECT TO DRAWINGS.  In
determining whether to honor any drawing under any Letter of Credit by the
beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Lender shall be responsible only to examine the
documents delivered under such Letter of Credit with reasonable care so as to
ascertain whether they appear on their face to be in accordance with the terms
and conditions of such Letter of Credit.

       B.     REIMBURSEMENT BY COMPANY OF AMOUNTS PAID UNDER LETTERS OF CREDIT.
In the event an Issuing Lender has determined to honor a drawing under a Letter
of Credit issued by it, such Issuing Lender shall immediately notify Company and
Administrative Agent of the date payment thereunder shall be made (the
"Reimbursement Date"), and Company shall reimburse such Issuing Lender on the
Reimbursement Date in an amount in Dollars and in same day funds equal to the
amount of such honored drawing; PROVIDED that, anything contained in this
Agreement to the

                                          80
<PAGE>

contrary notwithstanding, (i) unless Company shall have notified Administrative
Agent and such Issuing Lender prior to 11:00 A.M. (Chicago time) on the
Reimbursement Date that Company intends to reimburse such Issuing Lender for the
amount of such honored drawing with funds other than the proceeds of Working
Capital Loans, Company shall be deemed to have given a timely Notice of
Borrowing to Administrative Agent requesting Lenders to make Working Capital
Loans that are Base Rate Loans on the Reimbursement Date in an amount in Dollars
equal to the amount of such honored drawing and (ii) subject to satisfaction or
waiver of the conditions specified in subsection 4.4, Working Capital Lenders
shall, on the Reimbursement Date, make Working Capital Loans that are Base Rate
Loans in the amount of such honored drawing, the proceeds of which shall be
applied directly by Administrative Agent to reimburse such Issuing Lender for
the amount of such honored drawing; and PROVIDED, FURTHER that if for any reason
proceeds of Working Capital Loans are not received by such Issuing Lender on the
Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to the amount of such honored drawing,
Company shall reimburse such Issuing Lender, on demand, but no earlier than one
Business Day following the Reimbursement Date, in an amount in same day funds
equal to the excess of the amount of such honored drawing over the aggregate
amount of such Working Capital Loans, if any, which are so received.  Nothing in
this subsection 3.3B shall be deemed to relieve any Working Capital Lender from
its obligation to make Working Capital Loans on the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement, and Company shall retain any and all rights it may have
against any Working Capital Lender resulting from the failure of such Lender to
make such Working Capital Loans under this subsection 3.3B.

       C.     PAYMENT BY WORKING CAPITAL LENDERS OF UNREIMBURSED AMOUNTS PAID
UNDER LETTERS OF CREDIT.

              (i)    PAYMENT BY WORKING CAPITAL LENDERS.  In the event that
       Company shall fail for any reason to reimburse any Issuing Lender as
       provided in subsection 3.3B in an amount equal to the amount of any
       drawing honored by such Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit issued by
       it, such Issuing Lender shall promptly notify each other Working Capital
       Lender of the unreimbursed amount of such honored drawing and of such
       other Working Capital Lender's respective participation therein based on
       such Working Capital Lender's Pro Rata Share.  Each Working Capital
       Lender shall make available to such Issuing Lender an amount equal to its
       respective participation, in Dollars and in same day funds, at the office
       of such Issuing Lender specified in such notice, not later than 11:00
       A.M. (Chicago time) on the first business day (under the laws of the
       jurisdiction in which such office of such Issuing Lender is located)
       after the date notified by such Issuing Lender.  In the event that any
       Working Capital Lender fails to make available to such Issuing Lender on
       such business day the amount of such Working Capital Lender's
       participation in such Letter of Credit as provided in this subsection
       3.3C, such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on
       demand from such Working Capital Lender together with interest thereon at
       the Federal Funds Effective Rate for three Business Days and thereafter
       at the Base Rate.  Nothing in this subsection 3.3C shall be deemed to
       prejudice the right of any Working Capital Lender to recover from any
       Issuing Lender any amounts made available by such Working Capital Lender
       to such Issuing Lender pursuant to this subsection 3.3C in the event that
       it is determined by the final judgment of a court of competent
       jurisdiction that the payment with respect to a Letter of Credit by such
       Issuing Lender in respect of which payment was made by such Working
       Capital Lender constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the
       part of such Issuing Lender.

<PAGE>

              (ii)   DISTRIBUTION TO WORKING CAPITAL LENDERS OF REIMBURSEMENTS
       RECEIVED FROM COMPANY.  In the event any Issuing Lender shall have been
       reimbursed by other Working Capital Lenders pursuant to subsection
       3.3C(i) for all or any portion of any drawing honored by such Issuing
       Lender under a Letter of Credit issued by it, such Issuing Lender shall
       distribute to each other Working Capital Lender which has paid all
       amounts payable by it under subsection 3.3C(i) with respect to such
       honored drawing such other Working Capital Lender's Pro Rata Share of all
       payments subsequently received by such Issuing Lender from Company in
       reimbursement of such honored drawing when such payments are received.
       Any such distribution shall be made to a Working Capital Lender at its
       primary address set forth below its name on the appropriate signature
       page hereof or at such other address as such Working Capital Lender may
       request.

       D.     INTEREST ON AMOUNTS PAID UNDER LETTERS OF CREDIT.

              (i)    PAYMENT OF INTEREST BY COMPANY.  Company agrees to pay to
       each Issuing Lender, with respect to drawings honored under any Letters
       of Credit issued by it, interest on the amount paid by such Issuing
       Lender in respect of each such honored drawing from the date such drawing
       is honored to but excluding the date such amount is reimbursed by Company
       (including any such reimbursement out of the proceeds of Working Capital
       Loans pursuant to subsection 3.3B) at a rate equal to (a) for the period
       from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the Business Day
       following the Reimbursement Date, the rate then in effect under this
       Agreement with respect to Working Capital Loans that are Base Rate Loans
       and (b) thereafter, a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the rate of
       interest otherwise payable under this Agreement with respect to Working
       Capital Loans that are Base Rate Loans.  Interest payable pursuant to
       this subsection 3.3D(i) shall be payable on demand or, if no demand is
       made, on the date on which the related drawing under a Letter of Credit
       is reimbursed in full.

              (ii)   DISTRIBUTION OF INTEREST PAYMENTS BY ISSUING LENDER.

       such Issuing Lender in respect of the period from the date such drawing

       reimbursed for the amount of such drawing (including any such
       reimbursement out of the proceeds of Working Capital Loans pursuant to
       subsection 3.3B), the amount that such other Working Capital Lender would
       have been entitled to receive in respect of the letter of credit fee that
       would have been payable in respect of such Letter of Credit for such
       period pursuant to subsection 3.2 if no drawing had been honored under
       such Letter of Credit, and (b) in the event such Issuing Lender shall
       have been reimbursed by other Working Capital Lenders pursuant to
       subsection 3.3C(i) for all or any portion of such honored drawing, such
       Issuing Lender shall distribute to each other Working Capital Lender
       which has paid all amounts payable by it under subsection 3.3C(i) with

       was so reimbursed by other Working Capital Lenders to but excluding the

       for whom any such transferee may be acting), any Issuing Lender or other
       Lender or any other Person or, in the case of a Lender, against Company,

PROVIDED, in each case, that payment by the applicable Issuing Lender under the
applicable Letter of Credit shall not have constituted gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender under the circumstances in question.

as a result of (a) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing
Lender as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or
(b) subject to the following clause (ii), the wrongful dishonor by such Issuing
Lender of a proper demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit issued by
it or (ii) the failure of such Issuing Lender to honor a drawing under any such
Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or
wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or
governmental authority (all such acts or omissions herein called "GOVERNMENTAL
ACTS").

       B.     NATURE OF ISSUING LENDERS' DUTIES.  As between Company and any
Issuing Lender, Company assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or
misuse of the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender by, the respective
beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit.  In furtherance and not in limitation
of the foregoing, such Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for (except to
the extent of its gross negligence or willful misconduct):  (i) the form,
validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document
submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of
any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all
respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the
validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or
purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or
benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to
be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of
any such Letter of Credit to comply fully with any conditions required in order
to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or
delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph,
telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in
interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or
otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such
Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the
beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under
such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the
control of such Issuing Lender, including any Governmental Acts, and none of the
above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of such Issuing
Lender's rights or powers hereunder.

              In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific
provisions set forth in the first paragraph of this subsection 3.5B, any action
taken or omitted by any Issuing Lender under or in connection with the Letters
of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder,
if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put such Issuing Lender under any
resulting liability to Company.

              Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
subsection 3.5, Company shall retain any and all rights it may have against any
Issuing Lender for any liability arising solely out of the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender or, subject to subsection 3.4, the
failure of such Issuing Lender to make payment upon the proper presentation to
it of documents strictly complying with the terms of any Letter of Credit.

 .6     INCREASED COSTS AND TAXES RELATING TO LETTERS OF CREDIT.

              Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.7B (which shall be
controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), in the event that any
Issuing Lender or Working Capital Lender shall determine (which determination
shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding

                                          84
<PAGE>

upon all parties hereto) that any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation
or order, or any change therein or in the interpretation, administration or
application thereof (including the introduction of any new law, treaty or
governmental rule, regulation or order), or any determination of a court or
governmental authority, in each case that becomes effective after the date
hereof (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof and in
the case of any other Lender if such change shall have affected a class of
Lenders generally) or after the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to
which such Lender became a Lender (in the case of any other Lender if such
change shall not have affected a class of Lenders generally), or compliance by
any Issuing Lender or Working Capital Lender with any guideline, request or
directive issued or made after the date hereof by any central bank or other
governmental or quasi-governmental authority (whether or not having the force of
law):

              (i)    imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve
       (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other
       reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar
       requirement in respect of any Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing
       Lender or participations therein purchased by any Working Capital Lender;
       or

              (ii)   imposes any other condition (other than with respect to a
       Tax matter) on or affecting such Issuing Lender or Working Capital Lender
       (or its applicable lending or letter of credit office) regarding this
       Section 3 or any Letter of Credit or any participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Issuing
Lender or Working Capital Lender of agreeing to issue, issuing or maintaining
any Letter of Credit or agreeing to purchase, purchasing or maintaining any
participation therein or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such
Issuing Lender or Working Capital Lender (or its applicable lending or letter of
credit office) with respect thereto; then, in any case, Company shall pay to
such Issuing Lender or Working Capital Lender, within 15 days after receipt of
the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or
amounts as may be necessary to compensate such Issuing Lender or Working Capital
Lender for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or
receivable hereunder.  Such Issuing Lender or Working Capital Lender shall
deliver to Company a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the
basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Issuing Lender or
Working Capital Lender under this subsection 3.6, which statement shall be
conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

              In order to induce Lenders and the Agents to enter into this
Agreement and to make the Loans, to induce Issuing Lenders to issue Letters of
Credit and to induce other Lenders to purchase participations therein, Company

following statements are true, correct and complete:

 .1     ORGANIZATION, POWERS, QUALIFICATION, GOOD STANDING, BUSINESS AND
SUBSIDIARIES.

       A.     ORGANIZATION AND POWERS.  Each Loan Party is a corporation or
partnership duly organized, validly existing and, to the extent applicable, in
good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or
organization as specified in Schedule 5.1 annexed hereto except to the extent
that the failure to be in good standing has not had and will not have a Material
Adverse Effect.  Each Loan Party has all requisite corporate or partnership
power and authority to own and operate its properties, to carry on its business
as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted, to enter into the Loan
Documents and the Related Agreements to which it is a party and to carry out the
transactions contemplated thereby.

       B.     QUALIFICATION AND GOOD STANDING.  Each Loan Party is qualified to
do business and in good standing in every jurisdiction where its assets are
located and wherever necessary to carry out

                                          94
<PAGE>

its business and operations, except in jurisdictions where the failure to be so
qualified or in good standing has not had and will not have a Material Adverse
Effect.

       C.     SUBSIDIARIES.  All of the Subsidiaries of Company as of the
Closing Date, after giving effect to the consummation of the Tender Offer and
pro forma effect to the consummation of the Merger and the Second Merger, are

6.1(xii). Each of the Subsidiaries of Company identified in SCHEDULE 5.1 is a
corporation (or, in the case of Tri-Star Technologies, a general partnership)
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its
respective jurisdiction of incorporation or organization set forth therein, has
all requisite corporate power and authority to own and operate its properties
and to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted,
and is qualified to do business and in good standing in every jurisdiction where
its assets are located and wherever necessary to carry out its business and
operations, in each case except where failure to be so qualified or in good
standing or a lack of such corporate power and authority has not had and will
not have a Material Adverse Effect.  Schedule 5.1 correctly sets forth the
ownership interest of Company and each of its Subsidiaries as of the Closing
Date, after giving effect to the consummation of the Tender Offer and pro forma
effect to the consummation of the Merger and the Second Merger, in each of the
Subsidiaries of Company identified therein.

Parties of the Loan Documents and the Related Agreements and the consummation of
the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and the Related Agreements

rule or regulation applicable to Company or any of its Subsidiaries where such
violations in the aggregate have had or could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect, (y) the Certificate or the Articles of Incorporation or

Adverse Effect, (iii) result in or require the creation or imposition of any
Lien upon any of the properties or assets of  Company or any of Company's
Subsidiaries (other than any Liens created under any of the Loan Documents in
favor of Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders), or (iv) require any
approval of or consent of any Person under any Contractual Obligation of Company
or any of Company's Subsidiaries, except for such approvals or consents which
will be obtained on or before the Merger Date or such approvals or consents the

have a Material Adverse Effect.

       C.     GOVERNMENTAL CONSENTS.  The execution, delivery and performance by
Loan Parties of the Loan Documents and the Related Agreements and the
consummation of the transactions

                                          95

contemplated by the Loan Documents and the Related Agreements do not and will
not require any registration with, consent or approval of, or notice to, or
other action to, with or by, any federal, state or other governmental authority
or regulatory body other than any such registrations, consents, approvals,
notices or other actions (x) that have been made, obtained or taken on or prior
to the date on which such registrations, consents, approvals, notices or other
actions are required to be made, obtained or taken, as the case may be, and are
in full force and effect or (y) the failure of which to make, obtain or take has
not had and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

       D.     BINDING OBLIGATION.  Each of the Loan Documents and the Related
Agreements has been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party that is a
party thereto and is the legally valid and binding obligation of such Loan
Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, subject
to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and
other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally, general
equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law)

from such Multiemployer Plan (within the meaning of Section 4203 of ERISA), when
aggregated with such potential liability for a complete withdrawal from all
Multiemployer Plans, based on information available pursuant to Section 4221(e)

              (iii)  there are and, to Company's knowledge, have been no
       conditions, occurrences, or Hazardous Materials Activities at the
       Facilities or otherwise relating to the operation of the Company or any
       of its Subsidiaries which could reasonably be expected to form the basis
       of an Environmental Claim against Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

              (iv)   neither Company's nor its Subsidiaries' operations involve
       the transportation, storage or disposal of Hazardous Materials so as to
       require a permit for such operations under RCRA Part B (42 U.S.C. Section
       6925 and 40 C.F.R. 270.1 et seq.) or involve transporting hazardous
       materials generated by a third party for disposal; and

              (v)    compliance with all current requirements pursuant to or
       under Environmental Laws will not, individually or in the aggregate, have
       a reasonable possibility of giving rise to a  Material Adverse Effect.

affecting Company or any of its Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 .14    MATTERS RELATING TO COLLATERAL.

       A.     CREATION, PERFECTION AND PRIORITY OF LIENS.  The execution and
delivery of the Collateral Documents by Loan Parties, together with actions
taken pursuant to subsections 4.1F, 4.2F, 4.2G, 6.8 and 6.9 are effective or, in
the case of subsections 4.2F and 4.2G as of the Merger Date, will be effective,
or in the case of subsections 6.8 and 6.9 at the time of the taking of such
actions, will be effective, once taken, to create in favor of Administrative
Agent for the benefit of Lenders, as security for the respective Secured
Obligations (as defined in the applicable Collateral Document in respect of any
Collateral), a valid and perfected First Priority Lien on the Collateral covered
thereby.

       B.     GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORIZATIONS.  No authorization, approval or other
action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or
regulatory body is required for either (i) the pledge or grant by any Loan Party
of the Liens purported to be created in favor of Administrative Agent pursuant
to any of the Collateral Documents or (ii) the exercise by Administrative Agent
of any rights or remedies in respect of any Collateral (whether specifically
granted or created pursuant to any of the Collateral Documents or created or
provided for by applicable law), except for filings or recordings contemplated
by subsection 5.14A and except as may be required, in connection with the
disposition of any Pledged Collateral, by laws generally affecting the offering
and sale of securities.

<PAGE>

       C.     ABSENCE OF THIRD-PARTY FILINGS.  On and after the Closing Date,
except (a) such as may have been filed in favor of Administrative Agent or with

respect of operating leases, (i) no effective UCC financing statement, fixture
filing or other instrument similar in effect covering all or any part of the
Collateral is on file in any filing or recording office and (ii) no effective
filing covering all or any part of the IP Collateral is on file in the PTO, in
each case other than filings in respect of which Administrative Agent shall have
received appropriate termination statements or releases.

       D.     MARGIN REGULATIONS.  The pledge of the Pledged Collateral pursuant
to the Collateral Documents does not violate Regulation U or X of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

       E.     INFORMATION REGARDING COLLATERAL.  All information supplied to
Administrative Agent by or on behalf of any Loan Party with respect to any of
the Collateral (in each case taken as a whole with respect to all Collateral) is
accurate and complete in all material respects.

 .15    DISCLOSURE.

       A.     LOAN DOCUMENTS.  No representation or warranty of any Loan Party
contained in any Loan Document or in any other document, certificate or written
statement furnished to Lenders by or on behalf of Company or any of its
Subsidiaries for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a
material fact (known to Company, in the case of any document not furnished by
it) necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not
materially misleading in light of the circumstances in which the same were made.
Any term or provision of this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, insofar
as any of the representations and warranties described above includes
assumptions, estimates, projections or opinions, no representation or warranty
is made herein with respect thereto; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that to the extent any
such assumptions, estimates, projections or opinions are based on factual
matters, Company has reviewed such factual matters and nothing has come to its
attention in the context of such review which would lead it to believe that such
factual matters were not or are not true and correct in all material respects or
that such factual matters omit to state any material fact necessary to make such
assumptions, estimates, projections or opinions not misleading in any material
respect.

       B.     TENDER OFFER MATERIALS.  The Tender Offer Materials, taken as a
whole,  do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
a material fact (known to Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in the case of any
document not furnished by it) necessary in order to make the statements
contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in
which the same were made.

 .16    YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE.

              Company has (i) initiated a review and assessment of its and its
Subsidiaries' business and operations (including those affected by suppliers and

Problem" (that is, the risk that computer applications used by Company or
Subsidiaries may be unable to recognize and perform properly date-sensitive
functions involving certain dates prior to and any date after December 31,
1999), (ii) developed a plan and timeline for addressing the Year 2000 Problem

implemented that plan substantially in accordance with that timetable.  Company
believes that its own computer applications that are material to its or its
Subsidiaries' business and operations will on a timely basis be able to perform
properly date-sensitive functions for all dates before and after January 1, 2000
(that is, be "Year 2000 compliant") except to the extent that a failure to do so
could not reasonably be expected to have Material Adverse Effect.

consent, Company shall perform, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to
perform, all covenants in this Section 6.

cause each of its Subsidiaries to, at all times preserve and keep in full force
and effect its legal existence and all rights and franchises material to its
business except where failure to keep in full force and effect such rights and
franchises could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER that neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be
required to preserve the existence of any Subsidiary if Company shall determine
that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the
business of Company and its Subsidiaries, and that the loss thereof is not
disadvantageous in any material respect to Company or Lenders.

 .3     PAYMENT OF TAXES AND CLAIMS; TAX CONSOLIDATION.

              Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, pay all

or franchises before any penalty accrues thereon, and all material claims

have become due and payable and that by law have or may become a Lien upon any
of its properties or assets, prior to the time when any penalty or fine shall be
incurred with respect thereto; PROVIDED that no such charge or claim need be
paid if it is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings promptly
instituted and diligently conducted, so long as such reserve or other
appropriate provision, if any, as shall be required in conformity with GAAP
shall have been made therefor.

 .4     MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTIES; INSURANCE; APPLICATION OF NET
INSURANCE/CONDEMNATION PROCEEDS.

       A.     MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTIES.  Except to the extent that the failure

tear excepted, all material properties used or useful in the business of Company
and its Subsidiaries (including all Intellectual Property) and from time to time
will make or cause to be made all appropriate repairs, renewals and replacements
thereof unless Company determines in good faith that the continued maintenance
of any of its Properties is no longer economically desirable.

financially sound and reputable insurers, such public liability insurance, third
party property damage insurance,

business interruption insurance and casualty insurance with respect to
liabilities, losses or damage in respect of the assets, properties and
businesses of Company and its Subsidiaries as may customarily be carried or
maintained under similar circumstances by corporations of established reputation
engaged in similar businesses, in each case in such amounts (giving effect to
self-insurance), with such deductibles, covering such risks and otherwise on
such terms and conditions as shall be customary for corporations similarly
situated in the industry.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Company will maintain or cause to be maintained (i) flood insurance with respect
to each Flood Hazard Property that is located in a community that participates
in the National Flood Insurance Program, in each case in compliance with any
applicable regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System,

(a) name Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders as an additional
insured thereunder as its interests may appear and (b) in the case of each
casualty insurance policy, contain a loss payable clause or endorsement,
satisfactory in form and substance to Agents, that names Administrative Agent
for the benefit of Lenders as the loss payee thereunder for any covered loss in
excess of $250,000 and provides for at least 30 days prior written notice to
Agents of any modification or cancellation of such policy.

       C.     EVIDENCE OF INSURANCE.  Upon request of Administrative Agent,
Company shall deliver to Administrative Agent a certificate from Company's
insurance broker or other evidence satisfactory to it that all insurance
required to be maintained pursuant to subsection 6.4B is in full force and
effect and that Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders has been named as
additional insured and/or loss payee thereunder to the extent required under
subsection 6.4B.

 .5     INSPECTION RIGHTS.

              Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, permit
any authorized representatives designated by any Lender to visit and inspect any
of the properties of Company or of any of its Subsidiaries, to inspect, copy and
take extracts from its and their financial and accounting records, and to
discuss its and their affairs, finances and accounts with its and their officers
and, after notice to the Company and provision of an opportunity to participate
in such discussions, independent public accountants, all upon reasonable notice
and at such reasonable times and intervals during normal business hours and as
often as may reasonably be requested, but, unless an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing not more frequently than once in each Fiscal Year.
Subject to subsection 10.2, the cost and expenses of each such visit shall be
borne by the applicable Lender.

 .6     COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS, ETC.

       A.     GENERAL.  Company shall comply, and shall cause each of its

(including all Environmental Laws), noncompliance with which could reasonably be
expected to cause, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

       compliance with all Environmental Laws, keep all necessary permits,
       approvals, certificates, licenses and other Governmental Authorizations
       relating to environmental matters in effect and remain in compliance
       therewith, and handle all Hazardous Materials in compliance with all
       applicable Environmental Laws, in each case except where the failure to
       comply with the terms of this clause would not reasonably be expected to
       have a Material Adverse Effect;

              (ii)   Promptly notify the Agents and provide copies of all
       written claims, complaints, notices or inquiries relating to the
       condition of its Facilities or relating to compliance with Environmental
       Laws which relate to environmental matters which would have, or would
       reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect, and promptly
       cure and have dismissed with prejudice any material actions and
       proceedings relating to compliance with Environmental Laws, except to the
       extent being diligently contested in good faith by appropriate
       proceedings and for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP have
       been set aside on its books; and

              (iii)  Provide such information and certificates which the Agents
       may reasonably request from time to time to evidence compliance with this

DOCUMENTS BY CERTAIN SUBSIDIARIES AND FUTURE SUBSIDIARIES; IP COLLATERAL.

       A.     EXECUTION OF SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY AND PERSONAL PROPERTY COLLATERAL
DOCUMENTS. In the event that any Person becomes a Subsidiary of Company after
the Merger Date (other than a Foreign Subsidiary and other than a Domestic
Subsidiary that is a Non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiary), Company will promptly notify
Administrative Agent of that fact and cause such Subsidiary to execute and
deliver to Administrative Agent a Subsidiary Pledge Agreement, a counterpart of
the Subsidiary Guaranty and an acknowledgement to the Security Agreement and to
take all such further actions and execute all such further documents and
instruments (including actions, documents and instruments comparable to those
described in subsection 4.2D) as may be necessary or, in the opinion of Agents,
desirable to create in favor of Administrative Agent, for the benefit of
Lenders, a valid and perfected First Priority Lien on all of the personal and
mixed property assets of such Subsidiary described in the applicable forms of
Collateral Documents; PROVIDED that no such Subsidiary shall be required to
pledge pursuant to a Subsidiary Pledge Agreement more than 65% of the total
combined voting power of all classes of securities of any Foreign Subsidiary
held by such Subsidiary entitled to vote.

       B.     SUBSIDIARY CHARTER DOCUMENTS, LEGAL OPINIONS, ETC.  Company shall
deliver to Administrative Agent, together with such Loan Documents,
(i) certified copies of such Subsidiary's Certificate or Articles of
Incorporation, together with a good standing certificate from the Secretary of
State of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and each other state in which
such Person is qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and, to the
extent generally available, a certificate or other evidence of good standing as
to payment of any applicable franchise or similar taxes from the appropriate
taxing authority of each of such jurisdictions, each to be dated a recent date
prior to their

                                         106
<PAGE>

delivery to Administrative Agent, (ii) a copy of such Subsidiary's Bylaws
certified by its secretary or an assistant secretary as of a recent date prior
to their delivery to Administrative Agent, (iii) a certificate executed by the
secretary or an assistant secretary of such Subsidiary as to (a) the fact that
the attached resolutions of the Board of Directors of such Subsidiary approving
and authorizing the execution, delivery and performance of such Loan Documents
are in full force and effect and have not been modified or amended and (b) the
incumbency and signatures of the officers of such Subsidiary executing such Loan
Documents, and (iv) a favorable opinion of counsel to such Subsidiary, in form
and substance satisfactory to Agents and their respective counsel, as to (a) the
due organization and good standing of such Subsidiary, (b) the due
authorization, execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of such Loan Documents,
(c) the enforceability of such Loan Documents against such Subsidiary, (d) such
other matters (including matters relating to the creation and perfection of
Liens in any Collateral pursuant to such Loan Documents) as Agents may
reasonably request, all of the foregoing to be satisfactory in form and
substance to Agents and their respective counsel.

       C.     IP COLLATERAL.  If any Subsidiary (other than a Foreign Subsidiary
and Domestic Subsidiaries that are Non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries) becomes an
owner of any Intellectual Property after the Merger Date, Company shall cause
such Subsidiary to promptly execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an
acknowledgement to the Security Agreement and all cover sheets and executed
grants of trademark security interest, grants of patent security interest and
grants of copyright security interest and such other documents or instruments
required to be filed with the PTO and the CO as Administrative Agent shall deem
appropriate and take such further action and execute such further documents and
instruments as may be necessary, or in the opinion of Administrative Agent,
desirable to create in favor of Administrative Agent, for the benefit of
Lenders, a valid and perfected First Priority Lien on such Intellectual
Property.

 .8     FUTURE LEASED PROPERTY AND FUTURE ACQUISITIONS OF REAL PROPERTY:  FUTURE
ACQUISITION OF OTHER PROPERTY.

       A.     In connection with any Leasehold Property, Company shall, and
shall cause each of its Subsidiaries (other than Foreign Subsidiaries and
Domestic Subsidiaries that are Non-Wholly Owned Subsidiaries) to use its (and
their) commercially reasonable efforts (which shall not require the expenditure
of cash (other than the payment of the respective attorneys fees of Company and
the lessor) or the making of any material concessions under the relevant lease)
to deliver to Administrative Agent a waiver for the benefit of Administrative
Agent in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent
executed by the lessor of any real property that is to be leased by Company or
such Subsidiary for a term in excess of one year in any state which by statute
grants such lessor a "landlord's" (or similar) Lien which is superior to
Administrative Agent's and which grants to Administrative Agent a license to
enter the leased property and remove any and all personal property, if the value
of such personal property of Company or its Subsidiaries to be held at such
leased property exceeds (or it is anticipated that the value of such personal
property will, at any point in time during the term of such leasehold term,
exceed) $2,000,000.

       B.     In the event that Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than
Foreign Subsidiaries or Domestic Subsidiaries that are Non-Wholly-Owned
Subsidiaries) shall acquire any real property having a value as determined in
good faith by Administrative Agent in excess of $2,000,000 (or in the case of
leased property, in the event that Company is able to deliver the waivers and
consents described in subsection 6.8C in connection with the leases described
therein), Company or the

                                         107
<PAGE>

applicable Subsidiary shall, promptly after such acquisition or consent, execute
a Mortgage and provide Administrative Agent with (i) evidence of the completion
(or satisfactory arrangements for the completion) of all recordings and filings
of such Mortgage as may be necessary or, in the reasonable opinion of
Administrative Agent, desirable effectively to create a valid, perfected, First
Priority Lien, subject to the Liens permitted by subsection 7.2, against the
property purported to be covered thereby, (ii) mortgagee's title insurance
policy or policies in favor of Administrative Agent and the Lenders in amounts
and in form and substance and issued by insurers, reasonably satisfactory to the
Agents, with respect to the property purported to be covered by such Mortgage,
insuring that title to such property is indefeasible and that the interests
created by the Mortgage constitute valid first Liens thereon free and clear of
all defects and encumbrances other than as permitted by Section 7.2 or as
approved by the Agents, and such policies shall also include, to the extent
available, a revolving credit endorsement and such other endorsements as the
Agents shall reasonably request and shall be accompanied by evidence of the
payment in full of all premiums thereon, and (iii) such other approvals,
opinions, or documents as the Agents may reasonably request.

       C.     As soon as reasonably practical after the consummation of the
Merger, Company or its applicable Subsidiary shall, in respect of each of the
leased properties listed on Schedule 6.8, and in the event Company or any of its
Subsidiaries (other than Foreign Subsidiaries or Domestic Subsidiaries that are
Non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries) shall become a lessee under any lease of real
property covering 10,000 square feet of building space and having an unexpired
lease term (including options to extend such lease term) of three years or
longer, Company or the applicable Subsidiary shall, use its commercially
reasonable efforts (which shall not require the expenditure of cash (other than
the payment of the respective attorneys fees of Company and the lessor) or the
making of any material concessions under the relevant lease) to cause the lessor
to agree (during the negotiation of such lease if such lease is entered into
after the Merger Date), for the benefit of Administrative Agent (i) to the
matters set forth in subsection 6.8A, (ii) that without any further consent of
such lessor or any further action on the part of the Loan Party holding the
lessee's interest in such property, such lessee's interest in such property may
be encumbered pursuant to a Mortgage and may be assigned to the purchaser at a
foreclosure sale or in a transfer in lieu of such a sale (and to a subsequent
third party assignee if any Agent, any Lender, or an Affiliate of either so
acquires such lessee's interest in such property), and (iii) that such lessor
shall not terminate such lease as a result of a default by such Loan Party
thereunder without first giving Agents notice of such default and at least 60
days (or, if such default cannot reasonably be cured by Agents within such
period, such longer period as may reasonably be required) to cure such default.

 .9     MERGER.

       Company shall cause Acquisition Co. and DAH to comply with all material
covenants set forth in the Merger Agreement applicable prior to the consummation

all defects and encumbrances other than as permitted by Section 7.2 or as
approved by the Agents, and such policies shall also include, to the extent
available, a revolving credit endorsement and such other endorsements as
Administrative Agent shall reasonably request and shall be accompanied by

<PAGE>

              Any amounts described in clause (b) above, when received by
Administrative Agent, shall be held by Administrative Agent and applied as
follows:

If for any reason the aggregate amount delivered by Company as aforesaid is less
than the amount described in clause (b) above (the "AGGREGATE AVAILABLE
AMOUNT"), the aggregate amount so delivered shall be apportioned among all
outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the ratio of the maximum amount
available for drawing under each such Letter of Credit (as to such Letter of
Credit, the "MAXIMUM AVAILABLE AMOUNT") to the Aggregate Available Amount.  Upon
any drawing under any outstanding Letters of Credit in respect of which Company
has delivered to Administrative Agent any amounts described above,
Administrative Agent shall apply such amounts to reimburse the Issuing Lender
for the amount of such drawing.  In the event of cancellation or expiration of
any Letter of Credit in respect of which Company has delivered any amounts
described above, or in the event of any reduction in the Maximum Available
Amount under such Letter of Credit, Administrative Agent shall apply the amount
then on deposit with it in respect of such Letter of Credit (LESS, in the case
of such a reduction, the Maximum Available Amount under such Letter of Credit
immediately after such reduction) first, to the extent of any excess, to the
cash collateralization of any outstanding Letters of Credit in respect of which
Company has failed to pay all or a portion of the amounts described above (such
cash collateralization to be apportioned among all such Letters of Credit in the
manner described above), second, to the extent of any further excess, to the
payment of any other outstanding Obligations in such order as Administrative
Agent shall elect, and third, to the extent of any further excess, to the
payment to whomsoever shall be lawfully entitled to receive such funds.

              Notwithstanding anything contained in the second preceding
paragraph, if at any time within 60 days after an acceleration of the Loans
pursuant to clause (ii) of such paragraph Company shall pay all arrears of
interest and all payments on account of principal which shall have become due
otherwise than as a result of such acceleration (with interest on principal and,
to the extent permitted by law, on overdue interest, at the rates specified in
this Agreement) and all Events of Default and Potential Events of Default (other
than non-payment of the principal of and accrued interest on the Loans, in each
case which is due and payable solely by virtue of acceleration) shall be
remedied or waived pursuant to subsection 10.6, then Requisite Lenders, by
written notice to Company, may at their option rescind and annul such
acceleration and its consequences; but such action shall not affect any
subsequent Event of Default or Potential Event of Default or impair any right
consequent thereon.  The provisions of this paragraph are intended merely to
bind Lenders to a decision which may be made at the election of Requisite
Lenders and are not intended, directly or indirectly, to benefit Company, and
such provisions shall not at any time be construed so as to grant Company the
right to require Lenders to rescind or annul any acceleration hereunder or to
preclude Administrative Agent or Lenders from exercising any of the rights or
remedies available to them under any of the Loan Documents, even if the
conditions set forth in this paragraph are met.

Section 3.    THE AGENTS

 .1     APPOINTMENT.

       A.     APPOINTMENT OF AGENTS. Bank One, NA is hereby appointed
Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and each
Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to act as its contractual
representative in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.  DLJ is hereby appointed Syndication Agent hereunder and under the
other

                                         128
<PAGE>

Loan Documents and each Lender hereby authorizes Syndication Agent to act as its
contractual representative in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents.  Each of Syndication Agent and Administrative Agent
agrees to act upon the express conditions contained in this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, as applicable.  The provisions of this Section 9 are
solely for the benefit of each of Syndication Agent and Administrative Agent,
and Lenders and Company shall have no rights as a third party beneficiary of any
of the provisions thereof.  Notwithstanding the use of the defined term "Agent,"
it is expressly understood and agreed that the no Agent shall have any fiduciary
responsibilities to any Lender by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document and that the Agents are merely acting as the contractual
representatives of the Lenders with only those duties as are expressly set forth
in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  In their respective capacities
as the Lenders' contractual representatives, the Agents (i) do not hereby assume
any fiduciary duties to any of the Lenders, (ii) are "representatives" of the
Lenders within the meaning of Section 9-105 of the Uniform Commercial Code and
(iii) are acting as independent contractors, the rights and duties of which are
limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.  Each of the Lenders hereby agrees to assert no claim against the
Agents on any agency theory or any other theory of liability for breach of
fiduciary duty, all of which claims each Lender hereby waives.

       B.     APPOINTMENT OF SUPPLEMENTAL COLLATERAL AGENTS.  It is the purpose
of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that there shall be no violation
of any law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking
corporations or associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such
jurisdiction.  It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents, and in particular in case of the enforcement
of any of the Loan Documents, or in case Administrative Agent deems that by
reason of any present or future law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any
of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the other Loan
Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in
connection therewith, it may be necessary that Administrative Agent appoint an
additional individual or institution as a separate trustee, co-trustee,
collateral agent or collateral co-agent (any such additional individual or
institution being referred to herein individually as a "SUPPLEMENTAL COLLATERAL
AGENT" and collectively as "SUPPLEMENTAL COLLATERAL AGENTS").

              In the event that Administrative Agent appoints a Supplemental
Collateral Agent with respect to any Collateral, (i) each and every right,
power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to
Administrative Agent with respect to such Collateral shall be exercisable by and
vest in such Supplemental Collateral Agent to the extent, and only to the
extent, necessary to enable such Supplemental Collateral Agent to exercise such
rights, powers and privileges with respect to such Collateral and to perform
such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and obligation
contained in the Loan Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance
thereof by such Supplemental Collateral Agent shall run to and be enforceable by
either Administrative Agent or such Supplemental Collateral Agent, and (ii) the
provisions of this Section 9 and of subsections 10.2 and 10.3 that refer to
Administrative Agent shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Collateral
Agent and all references therein to Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be
references to Administrative Agent and/or such Supplemental Collateral Agent, as
the context may require.

              Should any instrument in writing from Company or any other Loan
Party be required by any Supplemental Collateral Agent so appointed by
Administrative Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to
him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, Company

                                         129
<PAGE>

shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any
and all such instruments promptly upon request by Administrative Agent.  In case
any Supplemental Collateral Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become
incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges
and duties of such Supplemental Collateral Agent, to the extent permitted by
law, shall vest in and be exercised by Administrative Agent until the
appointment of a new Supplemental Collateral Agent.

 .2     POWERS AND DUTIES; GENERAL IMMUNITY.

       A.     POWERS.  Each Agent shall have and may exercise such powers under
the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to such Agent by the terms
thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  No
Agent shall have any implied duties to the Lenders, or any obligation to the
Lenders to take any action thereunder except any action specifically provided by
the Loan Documents to be taken by such Agent.

       B.     GENERAL IMMUNITY.  No Agent nor any of their respective directors,
officers, agents or employees shall be liable to Company, the Lenders or any
Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or
under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith except to
the extent such action or inaction has arisen from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such Person.

       C.     NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOANS, RECITALS, ETC.  No Agent nor any of
their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible
for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (a) any statement,
warranty or representation made in connection with any Loan Document or any
borrowing hereunder; (b) the performance or observance of any of the covenants
or agreements of any obligor under any Loan Document, including, without
limitation, any agreement by an obligor to furnish information directly to each
Lender; (c) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Section 4, except
receipt of items required to be delivered solely to Administrative Agent or
Syndication Agent, as the case may be; (d) the existence or possible existence
of any Event of Default or Potential of Default; (e) the validity,
enforceability, effectiveness, sufficiency or genuineness of any Loan Document
or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith; (f) the
value, sufficiency, creation, perfection or priority of any Lien in any
collateral security; or (g) the financial condition of Company or any guarantor
of any of the Obligations or of any of Company's or any such guarantor's
respective Subsidiaries.  No Agent shall have any duty to disclose to the
Lenders information that is not required to be furnished by Company to such
Agent at such time, but is voluntarily furnished by Company to such Agent
(either in its capacity as Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent, as the
case may be, or in its individual capacity).  Anything contained in this
Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Administrative Agent shall not have
any liability arising from confirmations of the amount of outstanding Loans or
the Letter of Credit Usage or the component amounts thereof.

       D.     ACTION ON INSTRUCTIONS OF LENDER.  Each Agent shall in all cases
be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and under
any other Loan Document in accordance with written instructions signed by the
Requisite Lenders (or if required by the terms of subsection 10.6, all of the
Lenders), and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant
thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders.  The Lenders hereby acknowledge
that each Agent shall be under no duty to take any discretionary action
permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document unless it shall be requested in writing to do so by the

                                         130
<PAGE>

Requisite Lenders.  Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing
to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document unless it shall
first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders in proportion to their
Pro Rata Share against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur
by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

       E.     EMPLOYMENT OF AGENTS AND COUNSEL.  Each Agent may execute any of
its duties as Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent, as the case may be,
hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through employees, agents, and
attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the Lenders, except as to money
or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the default or
misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with
reasonable care.  Each Agent shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning
the contractual arrangement between the Agents and the Lenders and all matters
pertaining to each Agent's duties hereunder and under any other Loan Document.

       F.     RELIANCE ON DOCUMENTS; COUNSEL.  Each Agent shall be entitled to
rely upon any Note, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram,
statement, paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to
have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons, and, in respect to
legal matters, upon the opinion of counsel selected by any Agent, which counsel
may be employees of any Agent.

       G.     AGENTS' REIMBURSEMENT AND INDEMNIFICATION.  The Lenders agree to
reimburse and indemnify each Agent ratably in proportion to their respective
Commitments (or, if the Commitments have been terminated, in proportion to their
Commitments immediately prior to such termination) (i) for any amounts not
reimbursed by Company for which any Agent is entitled to reimbursement by
Company under the Loan Documents, (ii) for any other expenses incurred by any
Agent on behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the preparation, execution,
delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents (including,
without limitation, for any expenses incurred  by any Agent in connection with
any dispute between the Agents, the Agents  and any Lender or between two or
more of the Lenders) and (iii) for any liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or
asserted against any Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan
Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the
transactions contemplated thereby (including, without limitation, for any such
amounts incurred by or asserted against any Agent in connection with any dispute
between the Agents, the Agents and any Lender or between two or more of the
Lenders), or the enforcement of any of the terms of the Loan Documents or of any
such other documents; PROVIDED that (i) no Lender shall be liable for any of the
foregoing to the extent any of the foregoing is found in a final non-appealable
judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of any Agent and (ii) any indemnification
required pursuant to subsection 2.7 shall, notwithstanding the provisions of
this subsection, be paid by the relevant Lender in accordance with the
provisions thereof.  The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection shall
survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

       H.     NOTICE OF DEFAULT.  No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or
notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Potential Event of Default
hereunder unless such Agent has received written notice from a Lender or Company
referring to this Agreement describing such Event of Default or Potential Event
of Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default".  In the

                                         131
<PAGE>

event that any Agent receives such a notice, such Agent shall give prompt notice
thereof to the Lenders.

       I.     RIGHTS AS A LENDER.  In the event any Agent is a Lender, such
Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under any other Loan
Document with respect to its Commitment and its Loans as any Lender and may
exercise the same as though it were not such Agent, and the term "Lender" or
"Lenders" shall, at any time when any Agent is a Lender, unless the context
otherwise indicates, include such Agent in its individual capacity.  Each Agent
and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage
in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction, in addition to those
contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with Company or any
of its Subsidiaries in which Company or such Subsidiary is not restricted hereby
from engaging with any other Person.

       J.     LENDER CREDIT DECISION.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has,
independently and without reliance upon any Agent, the Arranger or any other
Lender and based on financial statements prepared by Company and such other
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit
analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance
upon any Agent, the Arranger 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 and the
other Loan Documents.

       K.     DELEGATION TO AFFILIATES.  Company and the Lenders agree that any
Agent may delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any of its
Affiliates.  Any such Affiliate (and such Affiliate's directors, officers,
agents and employees) which performs duties in connection with this Agreement
shall be entitled to the same benefits of the indemnification, waiver and other
protective provisions to which such Agent is entitled under Sections 9 and 10.

 .3     SUCCESSOR AGENTS AND SWING LINE LENDER.

       A.     SUCCESSOR AGENTS.  The Syndication Agent may resign at any time
upon one Business Day's prior notice thereof to Company and Administrative
Agent, and the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written
notice thereof to the Syndication Agent, the Lenders and Company, such
resignations to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Administrative
Agent or Syndication Agent, as the case may be, or, if no successor
Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent has been appointed, forty-five days
after the retiring Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent gives notice of its
intention to resign.  Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with or
without cause by written notice received by Administrative Agent from the
Requisite Lenders, such removal to be effective on the date specified by the
Requisite Lenders.  Upon any such resignation or removal, the Requisite Lenders
shall have the right to appoint, on behalf of Company and the Lenders, and, if
no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, subject to the consent of
Company, a successor Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent, as the case may
be.  If no successor Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent shall have been
so appointed by the Requisite Lenders within thirty days after the resigning
Administrative Agent's or Syndication Agent's giving notice of its intention to
resign, then the resigning Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent, as the
case may be, may appoint, on behalf of Company and the Lenders, a successor
Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent, as the case may be.  Notwithstanding
the previous sentence, Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent may at any time
without the consent

                                         132
<PAGE>

of Company or any Lender, appoint any of its Affiliates which is a commercial
bank as the successor Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent hereunder.  If
Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent has resigned or been removed and no
successor Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent has been appointed, the
Lenders may perform all the duties of Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent
hereunder and Company shall make all payments in respect of the Obligations to
the applicable Lender and for all other purposes shall deal directly with the
Lenders.  No successor Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent shall be deemed
to be appointed hereunder until such successor Administrative Agent or
Syndication Agent has accepted the appointment.  Any such successor
Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent shall be a commercial bank having
capital and retained earnings of at least $100,000,000.  Upon the acceptance of
any appointment as Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent hereunder by a
successor Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent, such successor
Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become
vested with all the rights, power, privileges and duties of the resigning or
removed Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent.  Upon the effectiveness of
the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent, the
resigning or removed Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Loan
Documents.  After the effectiveness of the resignation or removal of the
Administrative Agent or the Syndication Agent, as the case may be, the provisons
of this Section 9 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such
Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent in respect of any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent or
Syndication Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.  In the event
that there is a successor to the Administrative Agent by merger, or the
Administrative Agent assigns its duties and obligations to an Affiliate pursuant
to this subsection, then the term "Corporate Base Rate" as used in this
Agreement shall mean the prime rate, base rate or other analogous rate of the
new Administration Agent.

       B.     SUCCESSOR SWING LINE LENDER.  Any resignation or removal of
Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 9.3A shall also constitute the
resignation or removal of  First Chicago or its successor as Swing Line Lender,
and any successor Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to subsection 9.3A
shall, upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Swing Line
Lender for all purposes hereunder.  In such event (i) the resigning or removed
Swing Line Lender shall assign all of its rights and obligations with respect to
the Swing Line Loans to the successor Swing Line Lender pursuant to an
Assignment Agreement and such successor Swing Line Lender shall be entitled
thereafter to all of the rights and immunities of the resigning or removed Swing
Line Lender pursuant to subsection 2.1, (ii)  the retiring or removed
Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender shall surrender the Swing Line Note
held by it to Company for cancellation, and (iii) Company shall issue a new
Swing Line Note to the successor Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender
substantially in the form of EXHIBIT VII annexed hereto, in the principal amount
of the Swing Line Loan Commitment then in effect and with other appropriate
insertions.

 .4     COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS AND GUARANTEES.

       A.     EXECUTION OF COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS.  The Lenders hereby empower and
authorize Administrative Agent to execute and deliver to Company on their behalf
the Collateral and all related financing statements and any financing
statements, agreements, documents or instruments as shall be necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of the Collateral Documents and to be the
agent for and representative of Lenders under each Guaranty, and each Lender
agrees to be bound by the terms of each Collateral Document and Guaranty.
Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding,
Company, each Agent and each Lender hereby agree

                                         133
<PAGE>

that (X) no Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the
Collateral under any Collateral Document or to enforce any Guaranty, it being
understood and agreed that all rights and remedies under the Collateral
Documents and the Guaranties may be exercised solely by Administrative Agent for
the benefit of Lenders in accordance with the terms thereof, and (Y) in the
event of a foreclosure by Administrative Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant
to a public or private sale, any Agent or any Lender may, to the fullest extent
that the same may be permitted under applicable law, be the purchaser of any or
all of such Collateral at any such sale and Administrative Agent, as agent for
and representative of Lenders (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their
respective individual capacities unless Requisite Lenders shall otherwise agree
in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement
or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold
at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on
account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by Administrative Agent
at such sale.

       B.     COLLATERAL RELEASES.  The Lenders hereby empower and authorize
Administrative Agent to execute and deliver to Company on their behalf any
agreements, documents or instruments as shall be necessary or appropriate to
effect any releases of Collateral which shall be permitted by the terms hereof
or of any other Loan Document or which shall otherwise have been approved by the
Requisite Lenders (or, if required by the terms of subsection 10.6, all of the
Lenders) in writing.

SECTION 4.    MISCELLANEOUS

 .1     ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATION IN LOANS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT.

       A.     GENERAL.  Subject to subsection 10.1B, each Lender shall have the
right at any time to (i) sell, assign or transfer to any Eligible Assignee, or
(ii) sell participations to any Person in, all or any part of its Commitments or
any Loan or Loans made by it or participations in Letters of Credit hereunder or
any other interest herein or in any other Obligations owed to it; PROVIDED that
no such sale, assignment, transfer or participation shall, without the consent
of Company, require Company to file a registration statement with the Securities
and Exchange Commission or apply to qualify such sale, assignment, transfer or
participation under the securities laws of any state; PROVIDED, FURTHER that no
such sale, assignment, transfer or participation of any participation in Letters
of Credit hereunder may be made separately from a sale, assignment, transfer or
participation of a corresponding interest in the Working Capital Loan Commitment
and the Working Capital Loans of the Working Capital Lender effecting such sale,
assignment, transfer or participation; and PROVIDED, FURTHER that, anything
contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Swing Line Loan Commitment
and the Swing Line Loans of Swing Line Lender may not be sold, assigned or
transferred as described in clause (i) above to any Person other than a
successor Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender to the extent contemplated
by subsection 9.3.  Except as otherwise provided in this subsection 10.1, no
Lender shall, as between Company and such Lender, be relieved of any of its
obligations hereunder as a result of any sale, assignment or transfer of, or any
granting of participations in, all or any part of its Commitments or the Loans,
the Letters of Credit or participations therein, or the other Obligations owed
to such Lender.

       B.     ASSIGNMENTS.

              (i)    AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF ASSIGNMENTS.  Each Commitment, Loan or
       participation in Letters of Credit hereunder, or other Obligation may
       (a) be assigned in any amount to

                                         134
<PAGE>

       another Lender, or to an Affiliate or Affiliated Fund of the assigning
       Lender or another Lender, with the giving of notice to Company and
       Administrative Agent, or (b) be assigned in an aggregate amount of not
       less than $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as shall constitute the
       aggregate amount of the Commitments, Loans, and participations in Letters
       of Credit, and other Obligations of the assigning Lender or as may be
       consented to by Company and Agents) to any other Eligible Assignee with
       the consent of Company (which consent shall only be required if no Event
       of Default has occurred and is continuing) and, with respect to all
       Lenders other than Syndication Agent, Administrative Agent (which consent
       of Company and Administrative Agent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
       delayed).  To the extent of any such assignment in accordance with either
       clause (a) or (b) above, the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its
       obligations with respect to its Commitments, Loans or participations in
       Letters of Credit, or other Obligations or the portion thereof so
       assigned.  The parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver
       to Administrative Agent, for its acceptance, an Assignment Agreement
       (which shall contain a representation by the Assignee to the effect that
       none of the consideration used to make the purchase of the Commitment,
       Loan or participation in Letters of Credit under the applicable
       Assignment Agreement are "plan assets" as defined under ERISA and that
       the rights and interests of the Assignee in and under the Loan Documents
       will not be "plan assets" under ERISA), together with a processing fee of
       $3,500 (or such other amount as may be agreed to by Administrative Agent)
       and such forms, certificates or other evidence, if any, with respect to
       United States federal income tax withholding matters as the assignee
       under such Assignment Agreement may be required to deliver to
       Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 2.7B(iii)(a).  Upon such
       execution, delivery and acceptance from and after the effective date
       specified in such Assignment Agreement, (y) the assignee thereunder shall
       be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations
       hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement,
       shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (z) the
       assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and
       obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such
       Assignment Agreement, relinquish its rights (other than any rights which
       survive the termination of this Agreement under subsection 10.9B) and be
       released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of
       an Assignment Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an
       assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such
       Lender shall cease to be a party hereto; PROVIDED that, anything
       contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding,
       if such Lender is the Issuing Lender with respect to any outstanding
       Letters of Credit such Lender shall continue to have all rights and
       obligations of an Issuing Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit
       until the cancellation or expiration of such Letters of Credit and the
       reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder).  The Commitments
       hereunder shall be modified to reflect the Commitment of such assignee
       and any remaining Commitment of such assigning Lender and, if any such
       assignment occurs after the issuance to the assigning Lender of Notes
       hereunder, the assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such
       assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its
       applicable Notes to Administrative Agent for cancellation, and thereupon
       new Notes shall be issued to the assignee and to the assigning Lender,
       substantially in the form of EXHIBIT IV, EXHIBIT V, EXHIBIT VI,
       EXHIBIT VII or EXHIBIT VIII annexed hereto, as the case may be, with
       appropriate insertions, to reflect the new Commitments and/or outstanding
       Term Loans, as the case may be, of the assignee and the assigning Lender.

                                         135
<PAGE>

              (ii)   ACCEPTANCE BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.  Upon its receipt of an
       Assignment Agreement executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee
       representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, together with the
       processing fee referred to in subsection 10.1B(i) and any forms,
       certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal
       income tax withholding matters that such assignee may be required to
       deliver to Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 2.7B(iii)(a),
       Administrative Agent shall, if Administrative Agent and Company have
       consented to the assignment evidenced thereby (in each case to the extent
       such consent is required pursuant to subsection 10.1B(i)), (a) accept
       such Assignment Agreement by executing a counterpart thereof as provided
       therein (which acceptance shall evidence any required consent of
       Administrative Agent to such assignment) and (b) give prompt notice
       thereof to Company.  Administrative Agent shall maintain a copy of each
       Assignment Agreement delivered to and accepted by it as provided in this
       subsection 10.1B(ii).

       C.     PARTICIPATIONS.  The holder of any participation, other than an
Affiliate of the Lender granting such participation, shall not be entitled to
require the Lender that shall have granted such participation to it to take or
omit to take any action hereunder except action directly affecting (i) the
extension of the scheduled final maturity date of any Loan allocated to such
participation or (ii) a reduction of the principal amount of or the rate of
interest payable on any Loan allocated to such participation, and all amounts
payable by Company hereunder (including amounts payable to such Lender pursuant
to subsections 2.6D, 2.7 and 3.6) shall be determined as if such Lender had not
sold such participation.  Company and each Lender hereby acknowledge and agree
that, solely for purposes of subsections 10.4 and 10.5, to the fullest extent
permitted under applicable law, (a) any participation will give rise to a direct
obligation of Company to the participant and (b) the participant shall be
considered to be a "Lender".

       D.     ASSIGNMENTS TO FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS; PLEDGES BY FUNDS.  In
addition to the assignments and participations permitted under the foregoing
provisions of this subsection 10.1, any Lender may assign and pledge all or any
portion of its Loans, the other Obligations owed to such Lender, and its Notes
to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any operating circular
issued by such Federal Reserve Bank; PROVIDED that (i) no Lender shall, as
between Company and such Lender, be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder
as a result of any such assignment and pledge and (ii) in no event shall such
Federal Reserve Bank be considered to be a "Lender" or be entitled to require
the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder.  Any Lender
that is a fund that invests in commercial loans may pledge all or any portion of
its rights in connection with this Agreement to the trustee for holders of
obligations owed, or securities issued, by such fund as security for such
obligations or securities; provided, that any foreclosure or other exercise of
remedies by such trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this subsection
regarding assignments in all respects.  No pledge described in the immediately
preceding sentence shall release such Lender from its obligations hereunder.

       E.     INFORMATION.  Each Lender may furnish any information concerning
Company and its Subsidiaries in the possession of that Lender from time to time
to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and
participants), subject to subsection 10.19.

       F.     REPRESENTATIONS OF LENDERS.  Each Lender listed on the signature
pages hereof hereby represents and warrants (i) that it is an Eligible Assignee
described in clause (A) of the definition

                                         136
<PAGE>

thereof; (ii) that it has experience and expertise in the making of loans such
as the Loans; and (iii) that it will make its Loans for its own account in the
ordinary course of its business and without a view to distribution of such Loans
within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or other federal
securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this
subsection 10.1, the disposition of such Loans or any interests therein shall at
all times remain within its exclusive control).  Each Lender that becomes a
party hereto pursuant to an Assignment Agreement shall be deemed to agree that
the representations and warranties of such Lender contained in Section 2(c) of
such Assignment Agreement are incorporated herein by this reference.

 .2     EXPENSES.

              Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be
consummated, Company agrees to pay promptly (i) all the actual and reasonable
costs and expenses of the Agents with respect to the preparation of the Loan
Documents and any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications thereto;
(ii) the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of a single counsel to

other modifications thereto and any other documents or matters requested by
Company; (iii) all the actual costs and reasonable expenses of creating and

providing any opinions that Syndication Agent, Administrative Agent or Requisite
Lenders may request in respect of the Collateral Documents or the Liens created
pursuant thereto; (iv)  the custody or preservation of any of the Collateral;
(v) all other actual and reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Arranger,
Syndication Agent or Administrative Agent (including the reasonable fees,

Syndication Agent, Administrative Agent or their respective counsel) in
connection with the syndication of the Commitments and the negotiation,
preparation and execution of the Loan Documents and any consents, amendments,
waivers or other modifications thereto and the transactions contemplated
thereby; and (vi) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, all costs and
expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of settlement, incurred
by Agents and Lenders in enforcing any Obligations of or in collecting any
payments due from any Loan Party hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by
reason of such Event of Default (including in connection with the sale of,
collection from, or other realization upon any of the Collateral or the
enforcement of the Guaranties or in connection with any refinancing or
restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the
nature of a "work-out" or pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings).

 .3     INDEMNITY.

              In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to subsection
10.2, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated,
Company agrees to defend (subject to Indemnitees' selection of counsel),
indemnify, pay and hold harmless Arranger, Agents and Lenders, and the officers,
directors, trustees, employees, agents and affiliates of Arranger, Agents and
Lenders (collectively called the "INDEMNITEES"), from and against any and all
Indemnified Liabilities (as hereinafter defined); PROVIDED that Company shall
not have any obligation to any Indemnitee hereunder with respect to any
Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified

                                         137
<PAGE>

Liabilities arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that
Indemnitee as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction or to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities are
Environmental Liabilities that arise solely out of the actions of Administrative
Agent or Lenders occurring after Administrative Agent or Lenders shall have
foreclosed on, or otherwise dispossessed Company and its Subsidiaries of, the
applicable Facility.

              As used herein, "INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES" means, collectively, any
and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages (including natural resource
damages), penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims (including Environmental
Claims), costs (including the costs of any investigation, study, sampling,
testing, abatement, cleanup, removal, remediation or other response action
necessary to remove, remediate, clean up or abate any Hazardous Materials
Activity), expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever
(including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Indemnitees in
connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding
commenced or threatened by any Person, whether or not any such Indemnitee shall
be designated as a party or a potential party thereto, and any fees or expenses
incurred by Indemnitees in enforcing this indemnity), whether direct, indirect
or consequential and whether based on any federal, state or foreign laws,
statutes, rules or regulations (including securities and commercial laws,
statutes, rules or regulations and Environmental Laws), on common law or
equitable cause or on contract or otherwise, that may be imposed on, incurred
by, or asserted against any such Indemnitee, in any manner relating to or
arising out of (i) this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including Lenders' agreement to
make the Loans hereunder or the use or intended use of the proceeds thereof or
the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder or the use or intended use of any
thereof, or any enforcement of any of the Loan Documents (including any sale of,
collection from, or other realization upon any of the Collateral or the
enforcement of the Guaranties) or (ii)  any Environmental Claim or any Hazardous
Materials Activity relating to or arising from, directly or indirectly, any past
or present activity, operation, land ownership, or practice of Company or any of
its Subsidiaries.

              To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and
hold harmless set forth in this subsection 10.3 may be unenforceable in whole or
in part because they are violative of any law or public policy, Company shall
contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under
applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities
incurred by Indemnitees or any of them.

 .4     SET-OFF; SECURITY INTEREST IN DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS.

              In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under
applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default referred to in Sections 8.6 or 8.7 or, with
the consent of the Requisite Lenders, upon the occurrence of any other Event of
Default, each Lender is, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
hereby authorized by Company at any time or from time to time, without notice to
Company or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived,
to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or
special, including Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether
matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any other
Indebtedness at any time held or owing by that Lender to or for the credit or
the account of Company against and on account of the obligations and liabilities
then due of Company to that Lender under this Agreement, the Letters of Credit
and participations therein and the other Loan Documents, including all claims of
any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement, the
Letters of Credit and participations

                                         138
<PAGE>

therein or any other Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not that Lender
shall have made any demand hereunder.  Company hereby further grants to each
Agent and each Lender a security interest in all deposits and accounts
maintained with such Agent or such Lender as security for the Obligations.

 .5     RATABLE SHARING.

              Lenders hereby agree among themselves that if any of them shall,
whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Loans made
and applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), by realization upon
security, through the exercise of any right of set-off or banker's lien, by
counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Loan
Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash
collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a
proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, amounts payable in
respect of Letters of Credit, fees and other amounts then due and owing to that
Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the "AGGREGATE
AMOUNTS DUE" to such Lender) which is greater than the proportion received by
any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender,
then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (i) notify
Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and
(ii) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall
be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously
upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate
Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate
Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate
Amounts Due to them; PROVIDED that if all or part of such proportionately
greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from
such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of Company or otherwise, those
purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such
participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent
of such recovery, but without interest.  Company expressly consents to the
foregoing arrangement and agrees, to the fullest extent that it may do so under
applicable law, that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any
and all rights of banker's lien, set-off or counterclaim with respect to any and
all monies owing by Company to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if
that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder.

 .6     AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS.

              No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision
of this Agreement or of the Notes, and no consent to any departure by Company
therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of
Requisite Lenders; PROVIDED that no such amendment, modification, termination,
waiver or consent which would:

              (a)  modify any requirement hereunder that any particular action
       be taken by all the Lenders or by Requisite Lenders shall be effective
       unless consented to by each Lender;

              (b)  modify this subsection 10.6, change the definitions of
       "Requisite Lenders" or "Pro Rata Share", increase any Commitments (other
       than pursuant to the second paragraph of subsection 2.1A(iii)), reduce
       any fees described in subsection 2.3 (other than the fees to Agents
       referred to in subsection 2.3B), release any material Subsidiary
       Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, Parent from its
       obligations under the Parent Guaranty, or all

                                         139
<PAGE>

       or substantially all of the collateral security (except in each case as
       otherwise specifically provided for in the Loan Documents), or extend the
       Working Capital Loan Commitment Termination Date or the Acquisition Loan
       Commitment Termination Date, shall be made without the consent of each
       Lender adversely affected thereby;

              (c) extend the due date for, or reduce the amount of, any
       scheduled repayment of principal of or interest on or fees payable in
       respect of any Loan or reduce the principal amount of or rate of interest
       on or fees payable in respect of any Loan or any reimbursement obligation
       in respect of any Letter of Credit (which shall in each case include the
       conversion of all or any part of the Obligations into equity of any Loan
       Party), shall be made without the consent of the Lender which has made
       such Loan or, in the case of a reimbursement obligation in respect of any
       Letter of Credit, the Issuer owed, and those Lenders participating in,
       such reimbursement obligation;

              (d)  affect adversely the interests, rights or obligations of any
       Agent, any Issuer or the Swing Line Lender (in its capacity as Agent,
       Issuer or Swing Line Lender), unless consented to by such Agent, Issuer
       or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be; or

              (e)  effect any amendment, modification or waiver that by its
       terms adversely affects the rights of Lenders participating in any
       tranche differently from those of Lenders participating in other
       tranches, without the consent of the holders of at least 51% of the
       aggregate amount of Loans or Commitments, as the case may be, outstanding
       under the tranche or tranches affected by such amendment, modification or
       waiver.

              Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with
the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or
consents on behalf of that Lender.  Any waiver or consent shall be effective
only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was
given.  No notice to or demand on Company in any case shall entitle Company to
any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.  Any
amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance
with this subsection 10.6 shall be binding upon each Lender at the time
outstanding, each future Lender and, if signed by Company, on Company.

 .7     INDEPENDENCE OF COVENANTS.

              All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that
if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants,
the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be
within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of an
Event of Default or Potential Event of Default if such action is taken or
condition exists.

 .8     NOTICES.

              Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice or other
communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be in writing and
may be personally served, telexed or sent by telefacsimile or United States mail
or courier service and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in
person or by courier service, upon receipt of telefacsimile or telex, or three
Business Days after depositing it in the United States mail with postage prepaid
and properly addressed; PROVIDED that notices to Agents shall not be effective
until received.  For the purposes hereof, the address of each party hereto shall
be as set forth under such party's name on the

                                         140
<PAGE>

signature pages hereof or (i) as to Company and Agents, such other address as
shall be designated by such Person in a written notice delivered to the other
parties hereto and (ii) as to each other party, such other address as shall be
designated by such party in a written notice delivered to Administrative Agent.

 .9     SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS.

       A.     All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall
survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans
and the issuance of the Letters of Credit hereunder.

       B.     Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or implied by law to
the contrary, the agreements of Company set forth in subsections 2.6D, 2.7,
3.5A, 3.6, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 and the agreements of Lenders set forth in
subsections 9.2C, 9.4 and 10.5 shall survive the payment of the Loans, the
cancellation or expiration of the Letters of Credit and the reimbursement of any
amounts drawn thereunder, and the termination of this Agreement.

 .10    FAILURE OR INDULGENCE NOT WAIVER; REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.

              No failure or delay on the part of any Agent or any Lender in the
exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan
Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a
waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further
exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege.  All rights and
remedies existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are
cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

 .11    MARSHALLING; PAYMENTS SET ASIDE.

              None of Agents or Lenders shall be under any obligation to marshal
any assets in favor of Company or any other party or against or in payment of
any or all of the Obligations.  To the extent that Company makes a payment or
payments to Administrative Agent or Lenders (or to Administrative Agent for the
benefit of Lenders), or any of Agents or Lenders enforce any security interests
or exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds
of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be
repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any
other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the
extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to
be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto,
shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or
payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

 .12    SEVERABILITY.

              In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement or the
Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or
obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall
not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 .13    OBLIGATIONS SEVERAL; INDEPENDENT NATURE OF LENDERS' RIGHTS.

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

Lenders.

              SUFFICIENT TO CONFER PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER COMPANY IN ANY
              SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND OTHERWISE CONSTITUTES
              EFFECTIVE AND BINDING SERVICE IN EVERY RESPECT;

              (V)    AGREES THAT LENDERS RETAIN THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN
              ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST
              COMPANY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION; AND

              (VI)   AGREES THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SUBSECTION 10.17
              RELATING TO JURISDICTION AND VENUE SHALL BE BINDING AND
              ENFORCEABLE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER NEW YORK
              GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SECTION 5-1402 OR OTHERWISE.

has already relied on this waiver in entering into this Agreement, and that each
will continue to rely on this waiver in their related future dealings.  Each
party hereto further warrants and represents that it has reviewed this waiver
with its legal counsel and that it knowingly and voluntarily waives its jury
trial rights following consultation with legal counsel.  THIS WAIVER IS
IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING
(OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS SUBSECTION
10.18 AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY
TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR
