Dear

        Andy
McKelvey and Jim Treacy are very excited about you joining TMP Worldwide Inc. ("TMPW") as Chief Financial Officer, reporting to Jim Treacy as President of TMPW. The following
confirms the details: 

        1.    BASE
SALARY. During your employment, you will be paid a base salary of $500,000. Your base salary will be reviewed on an annual basis. 

        2.    BONUS.
During your employment, you will be entitled to participate in the senior management bonus plan as it may be amended from time to time. For calendar 2002 the bonus
plan has a target maximum bonus of 100% of base salary, subject to satisfaction of EPS and other targets; provided, however, that for calendar 2002 you will receive a guaranteed bonus of $500,000
except that in the event you terminate your employment with TMPW prior to December 31, 2002, such bonus shall be pro rated for any period of less than the full ten months you are anticipated to
work for TMPW in 2002. This bonus is payable in February 2003. 

        3.    SIGN
ON BONUS. Within 30 days following the start of your employment with us, you'll be paid a one-time signing bonus of $200,000. In the event you
terminate your employment with TMPW prior to the first anniversary of your start date with us, you agree to promptly pay TMPW the amount determined by multiplying $200,000 by a fraction, the numerator
of which is the number of days between the last day of your employment with TMPW and the first anniversary of your start date and the denominator of which is 365. 

        4.    START
DATE. You agree that you will commence employment with TMPW no later than March 1, 2002. 

        5.    OPTIONS
AND OTHER EQUITY. No later than the 30th day after your commencement of employment with us, we will grant to you options (i) to purchase TMPW
Common Stock which at the date of grant have a Black Scholes value equal the Black Scholes value of the unvested USA Networks, Inc. ("USAI") options that will not vest as a result of your
joining TMPW (as such value is determined by BDO Seidman), provided that in no event shall the total number of shares of TMPW Common Stock covered by the options being issued pursuant to this
clause (i) be less than 300,000, and (ii) to purchase an additional 100,000 shares of TMPW Common Stock. The foregoing options will in all respects be subject to TMPW's standard option
agreement and have an exercise price equal to the closing price on date of grant except that (i) the vesting dates of the "replacement options" described in clause (i) of the preceding
sentence shall track the vesting dates under your sacrificed USAI options with a view toward providing vesting of an equivalent Black Scholes value of TMPW options on such dates (such value being
determined as of the grant date of these options by TMPW) and the options described in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence shall vest over 4 years in equal annual installments,
(ii) in the event of the termination of your employment by TMPW for reasons other than Cause (as defined below) the options described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding
sentence (as well as any other options granted to you by TMPW from time to time) shall automatically and immediately become fully vested and exercisable for the balance of the ten year term provided
by the applicable stock option agreement, and (iii) in the event of any Change in Control (as defined in option agreements) the options described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the
preceding sentence (as well as any other options that may be granted to you by TMPW from time to time) shall automatically and immediately become fully vested and exercisable for the balance of the
ten year term provided by the applicable stock option agreement, subject, however, to limitations dealing with "parachute payments" under 280G of the Internal Revenue Code to be set forth in the
option agreements. Within 30 days of your first day of employment, you will also be granted restricted stock of TMPW which as of the grant date has a 

 

value comparable to the value of the 15,000 restricted USAI shares that you were to have forfeited by virtue of your joining TMPW prior to a recent change in the terms thereof that removed the
forfeiture provision. 

        6.    BENEFITS.
You will be eligible for medical, dental, disability, 401k, life insurance and other benefit plans as such plans are amended from time to time on the same basis
as other senior management. You will be entitled to 4 weeks vacation per year (prorated for periods of less than a year) and will be eligible for first class airline travel. 

        7.    SEVERANCE.
If your employment with TMPW is terminated by TMPW for any reason other than Cause, then subject to the terms hereof you shall be entitled to
(i) receive severance equal to one year's
salary, payable in semi-monthly installments over one year, and (ii) participation in TMPW's medical and dental plans for three months after termination of employment. It is
understood that the foregoing obligation is expressly conditioned on your signing, delivering and not exercising any right to revoke a separation agreement and general release in TMPW's then standard
format. "Cause" shall mean the occurrence of any one or more of the following events: (i) your willful failure or gross negligence in performance of your duties or compliance with the
reasonable directions of the President that remains unremedied for a period of twenty (20) days after the President has given written notice specifying in reasonable detail your failure to

the President has given written notice to you specifying in reasonable detail your failure to comply; or (iii) your indictment for (a) a felony, (b) criminal dishonesty or
(c) fraud. 

        8.    REPRESENTATION.
You represent that you are free to enter into this employment arrangement and that you are not bound by any restrictive covenants or similar provisions
restricting the performance of your duties hereunder. 

        9.    GENERAL.
This agreement (i) constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any previous arrangements
or letters relating thereto (including but not limited to the letters of December 18 and December 21, 2001), (ii) may be signed in counterparts, (iii) shall be governed by
the laws of the state of New York (other than the conflicts of laws provisions thereof) and (iv) may not amended, terminated or waived orally. Please understand that while it is our hope that

the continuance of an Event of Default, no payment of a Eurodollar Loan shall be
made under this section on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period

Obligations at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate MINUS three percent

payment and all amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.13(c) and/or Section 3.05
in connection therewith.

          Section 2.09.  UNCOLLECTED FUNDS COMPENSATION. Any credit extended by
the Agent to the Borrowers by allowing the Uncollected Funds in any Collateral
Account maintained by the Borrowers at the Agent to be immediately available
funds to the Borrowers shall not be deemed to be Loans hereunder. Uncollected
Funds Compensation to the Agent shall accrue on the

                                       31
<Page>

amount of the Uncollected Funds in existence from time to time at a variable
rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for
Base Rate Loans for two (2) full days. Upon making such computation, the Agent
is authorized to make a Revolving Credit Loan to the Borrowers for the amount
thereof (or during the continuance of an Event of Default, debit the Collateral
Account) for the payment thereof to the Agent. The Agent shall notify the
Borrowers of the amount of the Uncollected Funds Compensation for the preceding
calendar month in the next monthly statement rendered by the Agent to the
Borrowers.

          Section 2.10.  TERMINATION OF REVOLVING CREDIT COMMITMENTS. The
Borrowers shall have the right to terminate the amount of Revolving Credit
Commitments in whole or in part at any time, provided that (a) the Borrowers'
Agent shall give notice of such termination to the Agent as provided in Section
2.11 and (b) each reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an
amount that is at least equal to $1,000,000 or any greater multiple of
$1,000,000. Any portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments that has been
terminated may not be reinstated.

          Section 2.11.  CERTAIN NOTICES. Notices by the Borrowers' Agent to the
Agent of borrowings other than pursuant to Section 2.02(b), notice of conversion
of any Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans pursuant to Section 2.07, and notice
of each prepayment of a Loan pursuant to Section 2.08 (which does not include
repayments pursuant to Section 2.03(b)) or of termination of the Revolving
Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 2.10 shall be irrevocable and shall be
effective only if received by the Agent in writing on a Banking Day and (a) in
the case of Base Rate Loans and prepayments of Base Rate Loans given not later
than 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the date of such Base Rate Loan or such
prepayment; (b) in the case of Eurodollar Loans and prepayments of Eurodollar
Loans, given not later than 11:00 a.m. New York City time three (3) Banking Days
prior to the date of such Eurodollar Loan or such prepayment and (c) in the case
of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, given not later than 12:00
noon New York City time four Banking Days prior thereto. Each such notice of
borrowing or prepayment shall specify the amount of the Loans to be borrowed or
prepaid and the date of borrowing or prepayment (which shall be a Banking Day).
The Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of the contents of each such notice.

          Section 2.12.  CALCULATION OF BORROWING BASE. The Agent shall
calculate from time to time the amount of the Borrowing Base, based upon the
most recent Borrowing Base Certificate, and such amount shall be the "Borrowing
Base" hereunder; provided, however, that the Agent, in its reasonable
discretion, may on five (5) Banking Days prior written notice to the Borrowers,
establish additional reserves against the Borrowing Base, taking into account,
among other things, but without limitation in any way, increases in receivables
dilution as shown in periodic field examinations.

          Section 2.13.  LETTERS OF CREDIT.

               (a)  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the
Borrowers' Agent may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account
of any of the Borrowers or their Subsidiaries, in a form reasonably acceptable
to the Agent, by delivering to the Agent by electronic or facsimile transmission
(reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension) a letter of credit application in the form required by the Agent. A
Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon

                                       32
<Page>

issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit, the
Borrowers shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to
such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the Total Exposure at such
time does not exceed the lesser of (x) the Borrowing Base at such time or (y)
the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments at such time, and (ii) the Letter of
Credit Exposure at such time does not exceed the LC Sublimit at such time.

               (b)  Each Letter of Credit shall expire (without giving effect to
any extension thereof by reason of an interruption of business) at or prior to
the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date 360 days, in the case of
standby Letters of Credit, or 180 days, in the case of commercial or documentary
Letters of Credit, after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or,
in the case of any renewal or extension of any standby Letter of Credit, 365
days after such renewal or extension) provided that any such standby Letter of
Credit may provide for automatic extensions thereof to a date not later than 365
days beyond its current expiration date, and (ii) the date that is five (5)
Banking Days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date. No Letter of Credit
may be extended beyond the date that is five (5) Banking Days prior to the
Revolving Credit Termination Date.

               (c)  If the Agent shall make any disbursement in respect of any
Letter of Credit, the resulting Reimbursement Obligation created thereby shall
be deemed to be a Revolving Credit Loan from each of the Lenders in accordance
with each Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage. The Agent shall
notify the Lenders of the creation of any Reimbursement Obligation within two
Banking Days of any disbursement made by the Agent pursuant to or under any
Letter of Credit.

               (d)  The Borrowers' Reimbursement Obligations with respect to
Letters of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be
performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and
all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or
enforceability of any Letter of Credit, or any term or provision therein, (ii)
any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be
forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being
untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Agent to the
beneficiary under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other
document that substantially complies but does not strictly comply with the terms
of such Letter of Credit and (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever
(other than gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent), whether or not
similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this
Section 2.13, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrowers'
obligations hereunder.

          Section 2.14.  SETTLEMENT BETWEEN AGENT AND LENDERS. The Agent and the
Lenders shall settle on an aggregated and netted basis (the "SETTLEMENT AMOUNT")
on a weekly basis or with such greater frequency as the Agent may determine
(each such date on which such a settlement occurs being a "SETTLEMENT DATE") for
all amounts which shall have become due to and due from the Agent and the
Lenders since the immediately preceding Settlement Date with respect to any
Obligations, other than the Settlement Amount which became due on the
immediately preceding Settlement Date. The Agent shall notify the Lenders by
11:00 A.M. on each Settlement Date of the Settlement Amount which is payable by
the Agent or the Lenders, and the Agent or the Lenders, as the case may be,
shall make payment of the Settlement Amount by an electronic funds transfer not
later than 5:00 P.M. on the Settlement Date. Nothing in this Section 2.14 or the

                                       33
<Page>

settlement procedures made pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be deemed to
change, as between the Borrowers and the Lenders, the amount of the Loans which
are outstanding under the Notes to each of the Lenders or the accrual of
interest due to each of the Lenders on such Loans.

          Section 2.15.  FEES.

               (a)  The Borrowers agree to pay to the Agent quarterly after the
date hereof through the Revolving Credit Termination Date and on the Revolving
Credit Termination Date for the account of each of the Lenders a commitment fee
which shall accrue on the daily average Unused Facility Amount for the period
from and including the date hereof to the earlier of the date the Revolving
Credit Commitments are terminated in their entirety or the Revolving Credit
Termination Date. The commitment fee shall be calculated on the basis of a 360
day year for the actual number of days elapsed at a rate per year equal to the
Applicable Commitment Fee Rate. The commitment fee shall be due and payable in
arrears quarterly on the first Banking Day of each calendar quarter and shall be
computed by Agent. On each such payment date, the Agent is authorized to make a
Revolving Credit Loan to the Borrowers for the amount thereof (or during the
continuance of an Event of Default, debit the Collateral Account) for the
payment thereof to the Lenders. The Agent shall notify the Borrowers of the
amount of the commitment fee for the preceding quarter in the next monthly
statement rendered by the Agent to the Borrowers.

               (b)  The Borrowers agree to pay, with respect to Letters of
Credit issued hereunder, the following fees: (i) to the Agent for the benefit of
the Lenders (according to each Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage),
a letter of credit fee in respect of each standby Letter of Credit issued
hereunder which accrues at a rate equal to (x) the face amount of such Letter of
Credit multiplied by (y) the applicable Eurodollar Margin, such fees to be
calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for actual number of days elapsed and
paid by the Borrowers quarterly in advance on the first Banking Day of each
Fiscal Quarter, (ii) to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders (according to
each Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage), a letter of credit fee in
respect of each documentary Letter of Credit issued hereunder which accrues at a
rate equal to (x) the greater of (a) the applicable Eurodollar Margin less 50
basis points and (b) 150 basis points MULTIPLIED BY (y) the face amount of such
Letter of Credit, such fees to be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for
actual number of days elapsed and paid by the Borrowers quarterly in advance on
the first Banking Day of each calendar quarter, (iii) to the Agent for its own
account, a letter of credit fronting fee payable in advance on the issuance date
of each Letter of Credit in an amount equal to twelve and one-half (12.5) basis
points multiplied by the face amount of such Letter of Credit and (iv) to the
Agent for its customary processing fees and expenses charged by the Agent for
issuing, amending, modifying or extending any Letter of Credit. Upon making a
computation of the amount of such Letter of Credit fee, the Agent is authorized
to make a Revolving Credit Loan to the Borrowers for the amount thereof. The
Agent shall notify the Borrowers of the amount of such Letter of Credit fee in
the next monthly statement rendered by the Agent to the Borrowers.

               (c)  In the event that the Revolving Credit Commitments are
terminated in their entirety by the Borrowers prior to the second anniversary of
the Effective Date, the Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the account of each
of the Lenders an early termination fee in an amount equal to (i) 1.00% of the
daily average aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of the
Lenders during the period from the Closing Date through the date preceding

                                       34
<Page>

the date of termination, if the Revolving Credit Commitments are terminated
prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date and (ii) 0.50% of the daily
average aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders
during the 365 day period preceding the date of termination, if the Revolving
Credit Commitments are terminated on or after the first anniversary of the
Effective Date but prior to the second anniversary of the Effective Date;
provided, however, that no such prepayment fee shall be payable under this
paragraph (c) if the Revolving Credit Commitments are terminated in connection
with a refinancing of the Loans by the Agent or any of its affiliates.

          (d)  The Borrowers agree to pay the Agent (for its own account) such
fees payable in such amounts and at the times separately agreed to in writing
between the Borrowers and the Agent.

          Section 2.16.  PAYMENTS GENERALLY. All payments under this Agreement
or the Notes shall be made in United States Dollars in funds which are
immediately available not later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time on the
relevant dates specified above (each such payment made after such time on such
due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Banking Day) at
the JPMorgan Chase Office for the account of each Lender. In the event that any
payment under this Agreement becomes due at a time when no Revolving Credit
Loans are then outstanding, the Borrowers shall deliver such payment to the
Agent prior to the specified date of payment. If, at the time any such payment
becomes due there are Revolving Credit Loans outstanding, or, if the Borrowers
fail to make any such payment as and when due, the Agent, at its discretion
without the requirement of obtaining the consent of or giving prior notice to
the Borrowers, may make a Revolving Credit Loan to the Borrowers for the amount
thereof (or during the continuance of an Event of Default, debiting the
Collateral Account for the payment thereof to the Lenders). The Agent, or any
Lender for whose account any such payment is to be made, may (but shall not be
obligated to) debit the amount of any such payment which is not made by such
time to any ordinary deposit account of the Borrowers with the Agent or such
Lender, as the case may be, and any Lender so doing shall promptly notify the
Agent. Subject to Section 12.16, the Borrowers shall, at the time of making each
payment under this Agreement or the Notes, specify to the Agent the principal or
other amount payable by the Borrowers under this Agreement or the Notes to which
such payment is to be applied and in the event that it fails to so specify, or
if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Agent may,
subject to Section 12.16, apply such payment as it may elect in its sole
discretion. If the due date of any payment under this Agreement or the Notes
would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Banking Day, such date shall be
extended to the next succeeding Banking Day and interest shall be payable for
any principal so extended for the period of such extension. Each payment
received by the Agent hereunder or under any Note for the account of a Lender
shall be paid promptly to such Lender, in immediately available funds, for the
account of such Lender's Lending Office.

          Section 2.17.  PURPOSE. The Borrowers shall use the proceeds of the
Loans (a) to refinance the Indebtedness of the Borrowers listed on SCHEDULE 2.17
hereto, (b) for working capital requirements of the Borrowers and their
Subsidiaries, (c) to finance transaction costs associated with the closing of
the transactions contemplated by the Facility Documents, (d) to support Letters
of Credit up to the Letter of Credit Sublimit, (e) for Permitted Acquisitions,
and (f) for other general corporate purposes.

                       YIELD PROTECTION; ILLEGALITY; ETC.

          Section 3.01.  ADDITIONAL COSTS.

               (a)  The Borrowers shall pay directly to each Lender from time to
time within five Banking Days of demand therefor such amounts as such Lender may
reasonably determine to be necessary to compensate it for any costs which such
Lender determines are attributable to its making or maintaining any Eurodollar
Loans under this Agreement or its Note or its obligation to make any such Loans
hereunder, or any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender hereunder in
respect of any such Loans or such obligation (such increases in costs and
reductions in amounts receivable being herein called "ADDITIONAL COSTS"),
resulting from any Regulatory Change which: (i) changes the basis of taxation of
any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement or its Note in respect
of any of such Loans (other than taxes imposed on the overall net income of such
Lender or of its Lending Office for any of such Loans by the jurisdiction in
which such Lender has its principal office or such Lending Office); or (ii)
imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit, deposit insurance or
assessment, minimum capital, capital ratio or similar requirements relating to
any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other
liabilities of, such Lender; or (iii) imposes any other condition affecting this
Agreement or its Note (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities). Each
Lender will notify the Borrowers of any event occurring after the date of this
Agreement which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this
Section 3.01(a) as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof
and determines to request such compensation. If any Lender requests compensation
from the Borrowers under this Section 3.01(a), or under Section 3.01(c), the
Borrowers' Agent may, by notice to such Lender with a copy to the Agent, suspend
the obligation of such Lender to make Loans of the type with respect to which
such compensation is requested (in which case the provisions of Section 3.04
shall be applicable).

               (b)  Without limiting the effect of the foregoing provisions of
this Section 3.01, in the event that, by reason of any Regulatory Change, any
Lender either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess
above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other
liabilities of such Lender which includes deposits by reference to which the
interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or
a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender which includes
Eurodollar Loans or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a
category of liabilities or assets which it may hold, then, if such Lender so
elects by notice to the Borrowers' Agent with a copy to the Agent, the
obligation of such Lender to make Loans of such type hereunder shall be
suspended until the date such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which
case the provisions of Section 3.04 shall be applicable).

               (c)  Without limiting the effect of the foregoing provisions of
this Section 3.01 (but without duplication), the Borrowers shall pay directly to
each Lender from time to time within five Banking Days of request therefor such
amounts as such Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender
for any costs which it determines are attributable to the maintenance by the
Lender or its bank holding company or any of its Affiliates, pursuant to any law
or regulation of any jurisdiction or any interpretation, directive or request
(whether or not

                                       36
<Page>

having the force of law) of any court or governmental or monetary authority,
whether in effect on the date of this Agreement or thereafter, of capital in
respect of its Loans hereunder or its obligation to make Loans hereunder (such
compensation to include, without limitation, an amount equal to any reduction in
return on assets or equity of such Lender or its bank holding company or any of
its Affiliates to a level below that which it could have achieved but for such
law, regulation, interpretation, directive or request). Each Lender will notify
the Borrowers if such Lender is entitled to compensation pursuant to this
Section 3.01(c) as promptly as practicable after it determines to request such
compensation.

               (d)  Determinations and allocations by a Lender for purposes of
this Section 3.01 of the effect of any Regulatory Change pursuant to subsections
(a) or (b), or of the effect of capital maintained pursuant to subsection (c),
on its costs of making or maintaining Loans or its obligation to make Loans, or
on amounts receivable by, or the rate of return to, it in respect of Loans or
such obligation, and of the additional amounts required to compensate such
Lender under this Section 3.01, shall be conclusive, provided that such
determinations and allocations are made on a reasonable basis. Each Lender
demanding payment from the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 3.01 shall furnish
to the Borrowers at the time of such demand a statement showing the basis for
and the method of calculation of such demand.

          Section 3.02.  LIMITATION ON TYPES OF LOANS. Anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, if:

               (a)  the Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall
be conclusive) that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits
referred to in the definition of "Eurodollar Rate" in Section 1.01 are not being
provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of
determining the rate of interest for any type of Eurodollar Loans as provided in
this Agreement; or

               (b)  any Lender reasonably determines (which determination shall
be conclusive) and notifies the Agent that the relevant rates of interest
referred to in the definition of "Eurodollar Rate" in Section 1.01 upon the
basis of which the rate of interest for any type of Eurodollar Loans is to be
determined do not adequately cover the cost to such Lender of making or
maintaining such Loans;

then the Agent shall give the Borrowers' Agent and each Lender prompt notice
thereof, and so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be
under no obligation to make Loans of such type.

          Section 3.03.  ILLEGALITY. Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Lender or its Lending
Office to honor its obligation to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans hereunder,
then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers' Agent thereof (with a copy
to the Agent) and such Lender's obligation to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans
hereunder shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and
maintain such affected Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 3.04 shall
be applicable).

                                       37
<Page>

          Section 3.04.  CERTAIN BASE RATE LOANS PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 3.01 AND
3.03. If the obligations of any Lender to make Loans of a particular type (Loans
of such type being herein called "Affected Loans" and such type being herein
called the "Affected Type") shall be suspended pursuant to Sections 3.01 or
3.03, all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Lender as Loans of the
Affected Type shall be made instead as Base Rate Loans and, if an event referred
to in Section 3.01(b) or 3.03 has occurred and such Lender so requests by notice
to the Borrowers with a copy to the Agent, all Affected Loans of such Lender
then outstanding shall be automatically converted into Base Rate Loans on the
date specified by such Lender in such notice, and, to the extent that Affected
Loans are so made as (or converted into) Base Rate Loans, all payments of
principal which would otherwise be applied to such Lender's Affected Loans shall
be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans.

          Section 3.05.  CERTAIN COMPENSATION. The Borrowers shall pay to the
Agent for the account of each Lender, upon the request of such Lender through
the Agent, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable
opinion of such Lender) to compensate it for any loss, cost or expense which
such Lender determines is attributable to:

               (a)  any payment of a Eurodollar Loan made by the Borrowers on a
date other than the last day of a Eurodollar Interest Period or the maturity
date, respectively, for such Loan (whether by reason of acceleration or
otherwise) (other than pursuant to Section 3.04); or

               (b)  any failure by the Borrowers to borrow any Loan to be made
by such Lender on the date specified therefor in the relevant notice under
Section 2.11.

Without limiting the foregoing, such compensation shall include an amount equal
to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which otherwise would have
accrued on the principal amount so paid or not borrowed for the period from and
including the date of such payment or failure to borrow to but excluding the
last day of the Eurodollar Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a
failure to borrow, to but excluding the last day of the Eurodollar Interest
Period for such Loan which would have commenced on the date specified therefor
in the relevant notice) at the applicable rate of interest for such Loan
provided for herein over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined
by such Lender) such Lender would have bid in the London interbank market for
Dollar deposits for amounts comparable to such principal amount and maturities
comparable to such period. A determination of any Lender as to the amounts
payable pursuant to this Section 3.05 shall be conclusive, provided that such
determination is made on a reasonable basis.

          Section 3.06.  MITIGATION OBLIGATIONS. If any Lender requests
compensation under Section 3.01, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts
to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans
hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its
offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such
designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant
to Section 3.01 in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any
unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such
Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

with the termination of any Plan or other employee benefit plan (together with
all other amounts payable to any Borrower or any Guarantor from or with respect
to any Plan), and all debts, obligations and liabilities in whatever form owing
to such Borrower or such Guarantor from any person, firm or corporation or any
other legal entity, whether now existing or hereafter arising, now or hereafter
received by or belonging or owing to such Borrower or such Guarantor; and all
guaranties and security therefor, and all letters of credit naming any Borrower
or any Guarantor as beneficiary and other supporting obligations in respect of
such debts, obligations and liabilities.

          Any of the foregoing terms which are defined in the Uniform Commercial
Code shall have the meaning provided in the Uniform Commercial Code, as amended
and in effect from time to time, as supplemented and expanded by the foregoing.

          Section 4.02. SPECIAL WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE BORROWERS AND
SUBSIDIARIES. Each Borrower and each Guarantor hereby warrants and covenants to
the Agent that:

               (a)  Such Borrower or such Guarantor has delivered to the Agent a
Perfection Certificate in substantially the form of EXHIBIT D hereto. All
information set forth in such Perfection Certificate is true and correct in all
material respects and the facts contained in such Perfection Certificate are
accurate in all material respects as of the date of this Agreement. Each
Borrower and each Guarantor agrees to supplement its Perfection Certificate
promptly after obtaining information which would require a correction or
addition to such Perfection Certificate.

               (b)  No Borrower or Guarantor will change its jurisdiction of
organization, principal or any other place of business, or the location of any
Collateral from the locations set forth in the Perfection Certificate delivered
by such Borrower or such Guarantor, or make any change in its name or conduct
its business operations under any fictitious business name or trade name,
without, in any such case, at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice to
the Agent; provided that the inventory of such Borrower or such Guarantor may be
in the possession of manufacturers or processors in any jurisdiction in which
all necessary UCC financing statements have been filed by the Agent and with
respect to which the Agent has received waiver letters from all landlords,
warehousemen and processors in form and substance reasonably acceptable to
Agent.

               (c)  Except for Collateral that is obsolete or no longer used in
their business, the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries will keep the Collateral in
good order and repair (normal wear excepted) and adequately insured at all times
in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.05. The Borrowers and their
Subsidiaries will pay promptly when due all taxes and assessments on the
Collateral or for its use or operation, except for taxes and assessments
permitted to be contested under this Agreement. Following the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent may at its option
discharge any taxes or Liens to which any Collateral is at any time subject
(other than Permitted Liens), and may, upon the failure of the Borrowers or
their Subsidiaries to do so in accordance with this Agreement, purchase
insurance on any Collateral and pay for the repair, maintenance or preservation
thereof, and each Borrower and each Guarantor agrees to reimburse the Agent on
demand for any payments or expenses incurred by the Agent pursuant to the
foregoing authorization and any unreimbursed amounts shall constitute
Obligations for all purposes hereof.

               (d)  The Agent may from time to time request and each Borrower
and each Guarantor shall deliver copies of all Account Debtor lists and supplier
lists.

               (e)  Each Borrower and each Subsidiary hereby authorizes and
appoints the Agent to prepare, execute, as applicable, and file such financing
statements, certificates and other documents or instruments as may be necessary
to enable the Agent to perfect or from time to time renew the Agent's Liens on
the Collateral, with full power of substitution, as each Borrower's and each
Subsidiaries' attorney in fact. Each Borrower and each Subsidiary further agrees
that a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of a security agreement or
financing statement is sufficient as a financing statement under this Agreement
and the other Facility Documents.

               (f)  Each Borrower will, and will cause each Subsidiary to, at
its expense, perform all steps reasonably requested by the Agent at any time and
from time to time to perfect, maintain, protect, and enforce the Agent's
security interest including, without limitation, (i) joining with the Agent in
executing or authorizing and filing and refiling, or permitting the Agent to
file and refile such financing statements, continuation statements and other
documents (including, without limitation, this Agreement and licenses to use
software and other property protected by copyright), in such offices (including,
without limitation, the PTO, the United States Copyright Office, and appropriate
state patent, trademark and copyright offices), as the Agent may reasonably deem
necessary or appropriate, wherever required or permitted by law in order to
perfect and preserve the rights and interests granted to the Agent hereunder;
(ii) delivering to the Agent warehouse receipts covering any portion of the
Collateral located in warehouses and for which warehouse receipts are issued;
(iii) executing and delivering to the Agent a security agreement relating to any
funds which may become due to any Borrower or any Subsidiary Party in connection
with the termination of any Plan or other employee benefit plan; and (iv) taking
such other steps as are deemed necessary or appropriate by the Agent to maintain
the Agent's security interest, including, without limitation, transferring
inventory to warehouses designated by the Agent from time to time (unless
prohibited by federal, state or local statute or regulation governing the
business of such Borrower or Subsidiary, in which case the applicable inventory
shall be transferred by such Borrower or Subsidiary, after notice with respect
thereto to the Agent, in compliance with applicable statutes and regulations).
Each Borrower or Subsidiary will give the Agent notice of each office at which
records of such Borrower or Subsidiary

                                       41
<Page>

pertaining to all intangible items of Collateral are kept. Except as may be
provided in such notice, the records concerning all intangible Collateral are
and will be kept at the address shown in the respective Perfection Certificate
for such Borrower or Subsidiary as the principal place of business of such
Borrower or Subsidiary.

               (g)  If any Collateral of any Borrower or Subsidiary is at any
time in the possession of a bailee, such Borrower or Subsidiary shall promptly
notify the Agent and, if requested by the Agent, the Borrowers shall use
reasonable efforts to obtain an acknowledgment, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Agent, of any bailee having possession of any of the Collateral
that such bailee holds such Collateral for Agent and shall act upon the
instructions of the Agent, without further consent of the Borrowers or their
Subsidiaries.

               (h)  To the best of their knowledge, the Borrowers and their
Subsidiaries are the sole and exclusive owners of the websites and domain names
listed on SCHEDULE 6.11 hereto and have registered such domain names with the
entities listed on SCHEDULE 6.11 or the applicable authority which provides for
the exclusive use by the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries of such domain names.
The websites do not contain any material, the publication of which may result in
(a) the violation of rights of any person or (b) a right of any person against
the publisher or distributor of such material.

               (i)  The Borrowers and their Subsidiaries shall, annually by the
end of the first calendar quarter following the previous calendar year, provide
written notice to the Agent of all applications for registration of Patents,
Trademarks or Copyrights, to the extent such applications exist, made during the
preceding calendar year. The Borrowers and their Subsidiaries shall file and
prosecute diligently all applications for registration of Patents, Trademarks or
Copyrights now or hereafter pending that would be necessary to the business of
the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries to which any such applications pertain, and
shall do all commercially reasonable acts, in any such instance, necessary to
preserve and maintain all rights in such registered Patents, Trademarks or
Copyrights unless such Patents, Trademarks or Copyrights are not material to the
business of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, as reasonably determined by
the Borrowers and Subsidiaries consistent with prudent and commercially
reasonable business practices. Any and all costs and expenses incurred in
connection with any such actions shall be borne by the Borrowers and their
Subsidiaries.

               (j)  The domain name servers used in connection with the domain
names of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and all other relevant information
pertaining to such domain names, and the administrative contacts used in
connection with the registration of such domain names are identified on SCHEDULE
6.11 hereto. Promptly, and in any event, no later than ten (10) days after any
change in the identity of such domain name servers or of any domain name
administrative contact, the Borrowers and Subsidiaries shall provide notice
thereof to the Agent.

               (k)  To the extent that any Borrower or Subsidiary is a
beneficiary under any written letter of credit, such Borrower or Subsidiary
shall, at the request of Agent, deliver such letter of credit to the Agent, and
execute and deliver to the issuer of and any Person that has confirmed such
letter of credit an assignment of proceeds form, in favor of the Agent for the
benefit of the Lenders and satisfactory to the Agent and such issuer or (as the
case may be) such

                                       42
<Page>

Person that has confirmed such letter of credit, requiring the proceeds of any
drawing under such letter of credit to be paid directly to the Agent for
application against the Obligations.

          Section 4.03.  ACCOUNTS, GENERALLY.

               (a)  Each of the Borrowers and Subsidiaries hereby warrants and
covenants to the Agent that: (i) each existing Account represents, and each
future Account shall represent, a bona fide sale or lease and delivery of goods
or rendition of services by such Borrower or Subsidiary, in the ordinary course
of business; (ii) each existing Account is, and each future Account shall be, at
the time any such Account arose and at the time any such Account is billed, for
a liquidated amount payable by the Account Debtor thereon on the terms set forth
in the invoice therefor, without offset, deduction, defense, or counterclaim,
other than discounts required by law or contract, and corrections of billing
errors, in the ordinary course of business; (iii) no payment shall be received
with respect to any Account, and no credit, discount, extension, or agreement
therefor shall be granted on any Account, except as reported to the Agent in
pursuant to Section 7.09(a); (iv) each copy of an invoice or claim form
delivered to the Agent by any Borrower or Subsidiary shall be a genuine copy of
the original invoice or claim form sent to the Account Debtor named therein; (v)
all goods described in any invoice or claim form representing a sale of goods
shall have been delivered to the applicable patient and all services of any
Borrower or Subsidiary described in any invoice or claim form shall have been
performed; (vi) each of the Accounts and the related contracts is in full force
and effect and represents and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation
of the related Account Debtor, enforceable against such Account Debtor in
accordance with its terms; (vii) promptly following notice from an Account
Debtor as to an earlier overpayment by such Account Debtor to any Borrower or
Subsidiary, such Borrower or Subsidiary has made all payments to such Account
Debtor which are necessary to prevent such Account Debtor from offsetting such
overpayment against any amount owed by such Account Debtor; (viii) no direction
of any Borrower, Subsidiary or any other Person is in effect directing any
Account Debtor make payments in respect of the Accounts other than to a Lock Box
or a Controlled Account; and (ix) during the one year prior to the Closing Date,
no Borrower or Subsidiary has been subject to any Government Offset involving in
excess of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000). As of the date of each Revolving
Credit Loan, no Borrower or Subsidiary is aware of any potential Government
Offset greater than fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) for any single Governmental
Offset and greater than two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) for all such
Government Offsets that has not been disclosed by such Borrower or Subsidiary to
the Agent in writing prior to such date. All of the Medicaid and Medicare
reports required to be filed by any Borrower or Subsidiary for all reporting
periods have been filed with the applicable Government Account Debtor, or HCFA
designated agents or agents of such Government Account Debtor.

               (b)  No Borrower or Subsidiary shall re-date any invoice, claim
form or sale or modify any Account (other than to correct billing errors in the
ordinary course of business). Each Lender acknowledges that if an Account Debtor
which is the "primary" payor does not pay a claim in full or denies such claim,
the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries may send a separate invoice to an Account
Debtor which is a "secondary" payor. If any Borrower or Subsidiary becomes aware
of any matter that is reasonably likely to materially adversely affect any
Account Debtor, including information regarding the Account Debtor's
creditworthiness, such Borrower or Subsidiary shall promptly so advise the
Agent.

                                       43
<Page>

               (c)  No Borrower or Subsidiary shall accept any note, warrant or
other instrument (except a check or other instrument for the immediate payment
of money) with respect to any Account without the written consent of the Agent
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If the Agent
consents to the acceptance of any such note, warrant or other instrument, it
shall be considered as evidence of the Account and not payment thereof, and the
Borrowers and Subsidiaries shall promptly deliver such note, warrant or
instrument to the Agent appropriately endorsed. Regardless of the form of
presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, and notice of protest with
respect thereto, the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries shall remain liable
thereon until such note, warrant or instrument is paid in full. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any Borrower or Subsidiary may accept a note (i) from an Option
Care Franchisee or (ii) as payment solely for the provision of computer
software, PROVIDED that such Borrower or Subsidiary shall (x) promptly notify
the Agent that it has accepted any such note, and (y) upon request by the Agent,
promptly deliver such note to the Agent appropriately endorsed.

               (d)  Each of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries shall notify
the Lenders promptly of (i) all disputes and claims (other than as to discounts
required by law or contract, and corrections of billing errors, in the ordinary
course of business) with any Account Debtor, involving in excess of fifty
thousand dollars ($50,000) for any single dispute or claim and in excess of two
hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) for all such disputes and claims, whether
any such Account Debtor is acting in its capacity as an Account Debtor or in its
individual capacity; and (ii) all alleged or asserted Government Offsets
involving in excess of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) for any single
Government Offset and in excess of two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) for
all such Government Offsets. No discount, credit or allowance shall be granted
with respect to any Eligible Account to any Account without the consent of the
Required Lenders, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, except for:
(i) discounts required by law or contract, and corrections of billing errors, in
the ordinary course of business; and (ii) any other discount which does not
exceed fifty thousand dollars ($50,000), provided that the aggregate amount of
discounts permitted pursuant to this clause (ii) during any calendar year shall
not exceed five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000).

               (e)  If an Account Debtor returns any inventory to any Borrower
or Subsidiary when no Event of Default exists, then such Borrower or Subsidiary
shall promptly determine the reason for such return and shall issue a credit
memorandum to the Account Debtor in the appropriate amount. Each Borrower or
Subsidiary shall immediately report to the Agent in the event that the aggregate
amount of such returns exceed one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) during any
year. Each such report shall indicate the reasons for the returns and the
locations and condition of the returned inventory. In the event any Account
Debtor returns inventory to any Borrower or Subsidiary when an Event of Default
exists, such Borrower or Subsidiary shall: (i) hold the returned inventory in
trust for the Agent; (ii) segregate all returned inventory from all of its other
Property; (iii) dispose of the returned inventory solely according to the
written instructions of the Agent; and (iv) not issue any credits or allowances
with respect thereto without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders.
All returned inventory shall remain subject to the Agent's security interest.
Whenever any inventory is returned for which an Account had been created, such
related Account shall be deemed ineligible to the extent of such returned
Inventory, and Availability shall be adjusted accordingly.

          Section 4.04.  COLLECTION OF ACCOUNTS.

               (a)  On or before the Closing Date, the Borrowers and their
Subsidiaries shall (i) direct all of their Account Debtors to make all payments
on Accounts directly to one or more Lock Boxes or Controlled Accounts (except
that the Agent and the Lenders acknowledge that payments made by patients at the
time such patients receive goods and services at a facility of a Borrower would
not be directed to be remitted to a Lock Box), (ii) establish Controlled
Accounts with the Agent or such other financial institutions as shall be
acceptable to the Agent, into which all payments received in the Lock Boxes
shall be deposited, and into which the Borrowers will promptly deposit all
payments made for inventory or services sold or rendered by the Borrowers and
received by the Borrowers in the identical form in which such payments were
made, whether by cash or check, and (iii) cause each Subsidiary and Affiliate,
and any other Person acting for or in concert with the Borrowers or their
Subsidiaries that receives any monies, checks, notes, drafts or other payments
relating to or as proceeds of Accounts or other Collateral, to promptly remit
the same (or cause the same to be remitted) in hand to the Controlled Accounts;
PROVIDED that, (x) for purposes of administrative convenience, the Agent may in
its reasonable discretion, permit the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries from time
to time to maintain one or more accounts with one or more financial institutions
other than the Agent and with such maximum cash balances as the Agent deems
appropriate, and for which the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries may, at the
discretion of the Agent, be permitted to have direct access, and (y) so long as
no Revolving Credit Loans or Letters of Credit shall be outstanding, the
Borrowers shall be permitted to have access to the funds in all Controlled
Accounts unless and until such time as the Agent shall have notified the
financial institutions where Controlled Accounts are maintained that the Agent
has elected to revoke the Borrowers' access to the funds in such Controlled
Accounts.

               (b)  The Borrowers hereby represent and warrant to the Agent that
the Borrowers have delivered Account Debtor Notices to all InsCos and HMOs that
are Account Debtors of the Borrowers as of the Closing Date, and the Borrowers
hereby covenant and agree to deliver Account Debtor Notices to all additional
InsCos and HMOs that become Account Debtors of the Borrowers after the Closing
Date.

               (c)  The Borrowers and their Subsidiaries agree to pay all
reasonable fees, costs and expenses which the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries
incur in connection with opening and maintaining any Lock Box and Controlled
Account. All of such fees, costs and expenses which remain unpaid pursuant to
any Lock Box or Controlled Account Agreement with the Borrowers and their
Subsidiaries, to the extent same shall have been paid by the Agent hereunder,
shall constitute Loans hereunder, shall be payable to the Agent by the Borrowers
and their Subsidiaries upon demand, and, until paid, shall bear interest at the
highest rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder. All checks, drafts,
instruments and other items of payment or proceeds of Collateral delivered to
the Agent in kind shall be endorsed by the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, to
the Agent, and, if that endorsement of any such item shall not be made for any
reason, the Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to endorse the same on behalf
of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, notwithstanding the inclusion on any
such item of restrictive notations such as "paid in full", "balance of account",
or other restrictions. For the purpose of this Section 4.04(c) and effective so
long as this Agreement shall remain in force and effect, each of the Borrowers
and their Subsidiaries irrevocably hereby makes, constitutes and appoints

                                       45
<Page>

the Agent (and all Persons designated by the Agent for that purpose) as such
Borrower's or such Subsidiary's true and lawful attorney and agent-in-fact (i)
to endorse the name of such Borrower or Subsidiary upon said items of payment
and/or proceeds of Collateral of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and upon
any chattel paper, document, instrument, invoice or similar document or
agreement relating to any account receivable of the Borrowers and their
Subsidiaries or goods pertaining thereto; (ii) to take control in any manner of
any item of payment or proceeds thereof; (iii) to have access to any Lock Box or
postal box into which any checks or other forms of payment in respect of
accounts receivable of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries are remitted; and
(iv) open all mail containing checks and other forms of payment in respect of
accounts receivable of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and process such
checks and other forms of payment.

               (d)  The Agent (and all Persons designated by the Agent for such
purpose) may, at any time and from time to time after the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, whether before or after notification to
any Account Debtor and whether before or after the maturity of any of the
Obligations, (i) enforce collection of any accounts receivable or contract
rights of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries by suit or otherwise; (ii)
exercise all of the rights and remedies of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries
with respect to proceedings brought to collect any accounts receivable; (iii)
surrender, release or exchange all or any part of any accounts receivable of the
Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, or compromise or extend or renew for any
period (whether or not longer than the original period) any indebtedness
thereunder; (iv) sell or assign any account receivable of the Borrowers and
their Subsidiaries upon such terms, for such amount and at such time or times as
the Agent deems advisable; (v) prepare, file and sign the names of the Borrowers
and their Subsidiaries on any proof of claim in bankruptcy or other similar
document against any account debtor indebted on an account receivable of the
Borrowers and their Subsidiaries; and (vi) do all other acts and things which
are necessary, in the Agent's sole discretion, to fulfill the Obligations of the
Borrowers and their Subsidiaries under this Agreement and to allow the Agent to
collect the accounts receivable. In addition to any other provision hereof or in
any of the other Facility Documents, the Agent may at any time on or after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, at the sole expense of the Borrowers and
their Subsidiaries, notify any parties obligated on any of the accounts
receivable of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries to make payment directly to
the Agent of any amounts due or to become due thereunder.

          Section 4.05.  FIXTURES, ETC. It is the intention of the parties
hereto that none of the Collateral shall become fixtures and each Borrower and
each Subsidiary will take all such reasonable action or actions as may be
necessary to prevent any of the Collateral from becoming fixtures. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower and each Subsidiary
will, if requested by the Agent, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain
waivers of Liens, in form satisfactory to the Agent, from each lessor of real
property on which any of the Collateral is or is to be located to the extent
requested by the Agent.

          Section 4.06.  RIGHT OF AGENT TO DISPOSE OF COLLATERAL, ETC. Upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default, such Event of Default not having previously
been waived, remedied or cured, but subject to the provisions of the Uniform
Commercial Code or other applicable law, in addition to all other rights under
applicable law and under the Facility Documents, the Agent shall have the right
to take possession of the Collateral and, in addition thereto, the right to
enter

                                       46
<Page>

upon any premises on which the Collateral or any part thereof may be situated
and remove the same therefrom. The Agent may require the Borrowers and their
Subsidiaries to make the Collateral (to the extent the same is moveable)
available to the Agent at a place to be designated by the Agent or transfer any
information related to the Collateral to the Agent by electronic medium. Unless
the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of
a type customarily sold on a recognized market, the Agent will give the
Borrowers and their Subsidiaries at least seven (7) days' prior written notice
of the time and place of any public sale thereof or of the time after which any
private sale or any other intended disposition thereof is to be made. Any such
notice shall be deemed to meet any requirement hereunder or under any applicable
law (including the Uniform Commercial Code) that reasonable notification be
given of the time and place of such sale or other disposition.

          Section 4.07.  RIGHT OF AGENT TO USE AND OPERATE COLLATERAL, ETC. Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, subject to
the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law, the Agent
shall have the right and power to take possession of all or any part of the
Collateral, and to exclude the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and all persons
claiming under the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries wholly or partly therefrom,
and thereafter to hold, store, and/or use, operate, manage and control the same.
Each of the Borrowers and Subsidiaries hereby grants to the Agent for the
benefit of the Lenders, effective upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, a royalty free license (to the extent the Borrowers and
Subsidiaries have such rights to grant such licenses) to use any Patent,
Trademark or Copyright of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, to use, operate
and dispose of the Collateral. Such royalty free license shall extend to any
person or persons purchasing such Collateral from the Secured Parties. Upon
taking possession of any of the Collateral, the Agent may, from time to time, at
the expense of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, make all such repairs,
replacements, alterations, additions and improvements to and of the Collateral
as the Agent may deem proper. In any such case the Agent shall have the right to
manage and control the Collateral and to carry on the business and to exercise
all rights and powers of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries in respect thereto
as the Agent shall deem best, including the right to enter into any and all such
agreements with respect to the operation of the Collateral or any part thereof
as the Agent may see fit; and the Agent shall be entitled to collect and receive
all rents, issues, profits, fees, revenues and other income of the same and
every part thereof. Such rents, issues, profits, fees, revenues and other income
shall be applied to pay the expenses of holding and operating the Collateral and
of conducting the business thereof, and of all maintenance, repairs,
replacements, alterations, additions and improvements, and to make all payments
which the Agent may be required or may elect to make, if any, for taxes,
assessments, insurance and other charges upon the Collateral or any part
thereof, and all other payments which the Agent may be required or authorized to
make under any provision of this Agreement (including reasonable legal costs and
reasonable attorneys' fees). The Agent shall apply the remainder of such rents,
issues, profits, fees, revenues and other income as provided in Section 4.08.

          Section 4.08.  PROCEEDS OF COLLATERAL. After deducting all reasonable
costs and expenses of collection, storage, custody, sale or other disposition
and delivery (including reasonable legal costs and reasonable attorneys' fees)
and all other charges against the Collateral, the Agent shall apply the residue
of the proceeds of any such sale or disposition to the Obligations in accordance
with the terms hereof and any surplus shall be returned to the Borrowers and
their Subsidiaries or

                                       47
<Page>

to any Person or party lawfully entitled thereto (including, if applicable, any
holders of Subordinated Indebtedness). In the event the proceeds of any sale,
lease or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all of the
Obligations in full, the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries will be liable for the
deficiency, together with interest thereon at the Post-Default Rate, and the
cost and expenses of collection of such deficiency, including (to the extent
permitted by law), without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, expenses and
disbursements.

                                   ARTICLE 5.

that the Borrowers will permit the Agent to conduct such examinations at any
time and from time to time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a
Default. Each Lender shall have the right to participate, in a manner reasonably
acceptable to such Lender, in such field audit examinations, PROVIDED, however,
that in the event that any Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment at any time
exceeds the Revolving Credit Commitment of the Agent, such Lender

                                       62
<Page>

shall have the right, in such Lender's reasonable discretion, to request that
the Agent conduct additional field audit examinations. The Borrowers will
reimburse the Agent for the expense of each field audit examination at the

connection with such field audits, the Borrowers will permit the Agent to make
test verifications of the Accounts with the Borrowers' and their Subsidiaries'
customers.

          Section 7.12.  COOPERATION AND FURTHER ASSURANCE. At all times until
the Loans are repaid in full, the Borrowers shall, and shall cause each of their
Subsidiaries to, cooperate with the Agent and the Lenders to effectuate the
intent and purposes of the Facility Documents. Without limiting the foregoing,
the Borrowers agree to execute and deliver any financing statements or other
instruments and do such other acts and things, as Agent may reasonably deem
necessary or advisable to effectuate the intent and purposes of this Agreement,
and shall cause their Subsidiaries to do likewise.

          Section 7.13.  DEPOSITS INTO COLLATERAL ACCOUNT. At all times when any
Revolving Credit Loans or Letters of Credit shall be outstanding, the Borrowers
(i) shall remit to the Agent promptly following receipt, and shall hold in trust

from any source for deposit into the Collateral Account, including without
limitation any proceeds from any equity investment or extraordinary transaction,
and (ii) shall direct all financial institutions at which any Controlled
Accounts are maintained to remit to the Agent on a daily basis (or at such other
frequency as the Agent, in its discretion shall specify to the Borrowers), all
collected funds in such Controlled Accounts. At all times from and after the
date hereof, the Borrowers shall take all actions necessary to maintain,
preserve and protect the rights and interests of the Agent with respect to all
cash deposits of the Borrowers and all other proceeds of Collateral and shall
not, without the Agent's prior written consent, open any new or additional
deposit or other bank accounts.

          Section 7.14.  LOCK BOX OPERATION. The Borrowers shall at all times
direct their Account Debtors to make all payments directly to Lock Boxes or
Controlled Accounts under the control of the Agent or under the control of
another financial institution reasonably acceptable to the Agent that has
entered into a Controlled Account Agreement with the Agent.

          Section 7.15.  COMPLIANCE WITH HEALTH CARE LAWS. Each Borrower shall

Borrowers shall promptly report to the Agent, any such violation and any such
response and remediation.

and after giving effect to any proposed Acquisition, shall be in compliance with
all terms and provisions of the Facility Documents, including, without
limitation, the covenants set forth in Article 9 hereof and the minimum
Collateral Availability requirements set forth in Section 9.03 hereof;

hereof unless the Borrowers shall as soon as possible but in any case not later
than fifteen (15) days subsequent to the creation of such Subsidiary (i) cause

certificates and opinions of counsel as are consistent with those delivered
under Section 6.01 with respect to those Subsidiaries whose stock is pledged to

any term, covenant or condition on its part to be performed or observed under
any agreement or instrument relating to any such Material Indebtedness, when

permit the acceleration of the maturity of such Material Indebtedness), or any
such Material Indebtedness shall be declared to be due and payable, or required
to be prepaid (other than by a regularly scheduled required prepayment), prior

                                  ARTICLE 11.

                                    GUARANTY

          Section 11.01. THE GUARANTEE. Each Person who may from time to time
become a Guarantor hereunder, hereby jointly and severally guarantees to each
Lender and the Agent and

                                       72
<Page>

its respective successors and assigns the prompt payment in full when due
(whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of
and interest on the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrowers, all fees and
other amounts from time to time owing from the Borrowers to the Lenders
hereunder, and all other Obligations of the Borrowers and each of their
Subsidiaries under the Facility Documents (such obligations being herein
collectively called the "GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS"). Each Guarantor hereby further
agrees that if the Borrowers or any Subsidiary shall fail to pay in full when
due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the
Guaranteed Obligations, such Guarantor shall promptly pay the same upon demand
therefor by the Agent or the Lenders, without any further demand or notice
whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal
of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full
when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in
accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

          Section 11.02. OBLIGATIONS UNCONDITIONAL. The obligations of each
Guarantor under Section 10.01 are absolute and unconditional irrespective of the
value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement,
the other Facility Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to
herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other
guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other
circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable
discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this
Section 11.02 that the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute
and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more
of the following shall not, to the extent permitted by applicable law, alter or
impair the liability of each Guarantor and each other Guarantor under this
Article 11 which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:

               (a)  at any time or from time to time, without notice to such
Guarantor, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the
Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance
shall be waived;

               (b)  any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions hereof or
of the other Facility Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to
herein or therein shall be done or omitted;

               (c)  the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be
accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be modified,
supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right hereunder or under the
other Facility Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein
or therein shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or
in part or otherwise dealt with; or

               (d)  any lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of,
the Agent or the Lenders as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall
fail to be perfected.

Each Guarantor hereby expressly waives, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices
whatsoever, and any requirement that

                                       73
<Page>

the Agent or the Lenders exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against
the Borrowers hereunder or under the other Facility Documents or any other
agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other
Person under other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed
Obligations.

          Section 11.03. REINSTATEMENT. The obligations of each Guarantor under
this Article 11 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for
any reason any payment in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or
must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations,
whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or
otherwise, and each Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify the Agent and each
Lender on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable
fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Agent or any Lender in connection
with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses
incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a
preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy,
insolvency or similar law.

          Section 11.04. SUBROGATION. Unless and until all of the Loans have
been repaid in full and the Revolving Credit Commitments have been irrevocably
terminated, no Guarantor shall have any rights of subrogation, whether arising
by contract or operation of law (including, without limitation, any such right
arising under the Federal Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended) or otherwise by
reason of any payment by it pursuant to the provisions of this Article 10.

          Section 11.05. REMEDIES. Each Guarantor agrees that, as between such
Guarantor and the Lenders, the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder may be
declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 10.01 hereof
(and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the
circumstances provided in Section 10.01) for purposes of Section 11.01
notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such
declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as
against the Borrowers and that, in the event of such declaration (or such
obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such
obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Borrowers) shall forthwith
become due and payable by such Guarantor for purposes of Section 11.01.

          Section 11.06. INSTRUMENT FOR THE PAYMENT OF MONEY. Each Guarantor
hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Article 11 constitutes an
instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that the Agent and
the Lenders, in the event of a dispute by any Guarantor in the payment of any
moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to summary judgment or such other
expedited procedure as may be available for a suit on a note or other instrument
for the payment of money.

          Section 11.07. CONTINUING GUARANTEE. The guarantee in this Article 11
is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations
whenever arising.

          Section 11.08. GENERAL LIMITATION ON GUARANTEE OBLIGATIONS. In any
action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state or Federal
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of
creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under Section 11.01
would otherwise, taking into account the provisions of Section 11.08, be held or
determined to

                                       74
<Page>

be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other
creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 11.01, then,
notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such
liability shall, without any further action by any Guarantor, any Lender, the
Agent or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest
amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other
creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

                                  ARTICLE 12.

                  RELATIONS AMONG AGENT, LENDERS AND BORROWERS

          Section 12.01. APPOINTMENT, POWERS AND IMMUNITIES OF AGENT. Each
Lender hereby irrevocably (but subject to removal by the Required Lenders
pursuant to Section 12.09) appoints and authorizes the Agent to act as its agent
hereunder and under any other Facility Document with such powers as are
specifically delegated to the Agent by the terms of this Agreement and any other
Facility Document, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. The Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those
expressly set forth in this Agreement and any other Facility Document, and shall
not by reason of this Agreement be a trustee for any Lender. The Agent shall not
be responsible to the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or
warranties made by the Borrowers or any officer or official of the Borrowers or
any other Person contained in this Agreement or any other Facility Document, or
in any certificate or other document or instrument referred to or provided for
in, or received by any of them under, this Agreement or any other Facility
Document, or for the value, legality, validity, effectiveness, genuineness,
enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Facility Document
or any other document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or
therein, for the perfection or priority of any collateral security for the
Loans, or for any failure by the Borrowers to perform any of their obligations
hereunder or thereunder. The Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and
shall not be responsible, except as to money or securities received by it or its
authorized agents, for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or
attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. Neither the Agent nor any
of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable or responsible
for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any
other Facility Document or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its
or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

          Section 12.02. RELIANCE BY AGENT. The Agent shall be entitled to rely
upon any certification, notice or other communication (including any thereof by
telephone, telex, telegram, telecopier or cable) believed by it to be genuine
and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person
or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent
accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. The Agent may deem and
treat each Lender as the holder of the Loans made by it for all purposes hereof
unless and until a notice of the assignment or transfer thereof satisfactory to
the Agent signed by such Lender shall have been furnished to the Agent but the
Agent shall not be required to deal with any Person who has acquired a
participation in any Loan from a Lender. As to any matters not expressly
provided for by this Agreement or any other Facility Document, the Agent shall
in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting,
hereunder in accordance with instructions signed by the Required Lenders, and
such instructions of the Required Lenders and any action

                                       75
<Page>

taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders
and any other holder of all or any portion of any Loan.

          Section 12.03. DEFAULTS. The Agent shall not be deemed to have
knowledge of the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default (other than the
non-payment of principal of or interest on the Loans to the extent the same is
required to be paid to the Agent for the account of the Lenders) unless the
Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrowers specifying such Default
or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default." In
the event that the Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default
or Event of Default, the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders
(and shall give each Lender prompt notice of each such non-payment). The Agent
shall (subject to Section 11.08) take such action with respect to such Default
or Event of Default which is continuing as shall be directed by the Required
Lenders; provided that, unless and until the Agent shall have received such
directions, the Agent may take such action, or refrain from taking such action,
with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in
the best interest of the Lenders; and provided further that the Agent shall not
be required to take any such action which it determines to be contrary to law.

          Section 12.04. RIGHTS OF AGENT AS A LENDER. With respect to any
Revolving Credit Commitment and the Loans made by it, the Agent in its capacity
as a Lender hereunder shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any
other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as the
Agent, and the term "Lenders" shall, unless the context otherwise indicates,
include the Agent in its capacity as a Lender. The Agent and its Affiliates may
(without having to account therefor to any Lender) accept deposits from, lend
money to (on a secured or unsecured basis), and generally engage in any kind of
banking, trust or other business with, the Borrowers (and any of their
Affiliates) as if it were not acting as the Agent, and the Agent may accept fees
and other consideration from the Borrowers for services in connection with this
Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.
Although the Agent and its Affiliates may in the course of such relationships
and relationships with other Persons acquire information about the Borrowers,
their Affiliates and such other Persons, the Agent shall have no duty to
disclose such information to the Lenders.

          Section 12.05. INDEMNIFICATION OF AGENT. The Lenders agree to
indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed under Section 13.03 or under
the applicable provisions of any other Facility Document, but without limiting
the obligations of the Borrower under Section 13.03 or such provisions), ratably
in accordance with the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans made by
the Lenders (without giving effect to any participations, in all or any portion
of such Loans, sold by them to any other Person) (or, if no Loans are at the
time outstanding, ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit
Commitments), for any and all 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 the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any
other Facility Document or any other documents contemplated by or referred to
herein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including, without
limitation, the costs and expenses which the Borrowers are obligated to pay
under Section 13.03 or under the applicable provisions of any other Facility
Document but excluding, unless a Default or Event of Default has occurred,
normal administrative costs and expenses incident to the performance of its
agency

                                       76
<Page>

duties hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of
any such other documents or instruments; provided that no Lender shall be liable
for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of the Agent.

          Section 12.06. DOCUMENTS. The Agent will forward to each Lender,
promptly after the Agent's receipt thereof, a copy of each report, notice or
other document required by this Agreement or any other Facility Document to be
delivered to the Agent for such Lender.

          Section 12.07. NON-RELIANCE ON AGENT AND OTHER LENDERS. Each Lender
agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the Agent or any other
Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the Borrowers and their
Subsidiaries and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will,
independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, and based
on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time,
continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action
under this Agreement or any other Facility Document. The Agent shall not be
required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the
Borrowers of this Agreement or any other Facility Document or any other document
referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect the properties or
books of the Borrowers or any Subsidiary. Except for notices, reports and other
documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by
the Agent hereunder, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to
provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the affairs,
financial condition or business of the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries
which may come into the possession of the Agent or any of its Affiliates. The
Agent shall not be required to file this Agreement, any other Facility Document
or any document or instrument referred to herein or therein, for record or give
notice of this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any document or
instrument referred to herein or therein, to anyone.

          Section 12.08. FAILURE OF AGENT TO ACT. Except for action expressly
required of the Agent hereunder, the Agent shall in all cases be fully justified
in failing or refusing to act hereunder unless it shall have received further
assurances (which may include cash collateral) of the indemnification
obligations of the Lenders under Section 12.05 in respect of any and all
liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or
continuing to take any such action.

          Section 12.09. RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF AGENT. Subject to the
appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, the Agent may
resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the
Borrowers, and the Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by the
Required Lenders; provided that the Borrowers and the other Lenders shall be
promptly notified thereof. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required
Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If no successor Agent
shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted
such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent's giving of notice of
resignation or the Required Lenders' removal of the retiring Agent, then the
retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which
shall be a bank which has an office in the United States. The Required Lenders
or the retiring Agent, as the case may be, shall upon the appointment of a
successor Agent promptly so notify the Borrower and the other Lenders. Upon the
acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such
successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring

                                       77
<Page>

Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any
retiring Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of
this Article 12 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any
actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Agent.

          Section 12.10. AMENDMENTS CONCERNING AGENCY FUNCTION. The Agent shall
not be bound by any waiver, amendment, supplement or modification of this
Agreement or any other Facility Document which affects its duties hereunder or
thereunder unless it shall have given its prior consent thereto.

          Section 12.11. LIABILITY OF AGENT. The Agent shall not have any
liabilities or responsibilities to the Borrowers on account of the failure of
any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder or to any Lender on account of
the failure of the Borrowers to perform their obligations hereunder or under any
other Facility Document. The Agent shall have no liability to the Borrowers or
to any Lender by reason of any error in the computation of the Borrowing Base.

          Section 12.12. TRANSFER OF AGENCY FUNCTION. Without the consent of the
Borrowers or any Lender, the Agent may at any time or from time to time transfer
its functions as Agent hereunder to any of its offices wherever located,
provided that the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders
thereof.

          Section 12.13. NON-RECEIPT OF FUNDS BY THE AGENT. Unless the Agent
shall have been notified by a Lender or the Borrowers (any such party as
appropriate being the "Payor") prior to the date on which such Lender is to make
payment hereunder to the Agent of the proceeds of a Loan or the Borrowers are to
make payment to the Agent, as the case may be (either such payment being a
"Required Payment"), which notice shall be effective upon receipt, that the
Payor does not intend to make the Required Payment to the Agent, the Agent may
assume that the Required Payment has been made and may, in reliance upon such
assumption (but shall not be required to), make the amount thereof available to
the intended recipient on such date and, if the Payor has not in fact made the
Required Payment to the Agent, the recipient of such payment (and if such
recipients are the Borrowers and the Payor Lender fails to pay the amount
thereof to the Agent upon demand, the Borrowers) shall, on demand, repay to the
Agent the amount made available to the Borrowers together with interest thereon
for the period from the date such amount was so made available by the Agent
until the date the Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to the
average daily Federal Funds Rate for such period; provided further that as used
in this Section 12.13, "Required Payment" does not include any amounts due from
a Lender to the Agent which are to be settled on the next Settlement Date
pursuant to Section 2.13, but "Required Payment" shall include as of each
Settlement Date any amounts due from a Lender to the Agent as part of the
Settlement Amount to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 2.13.

          Section 12.14. WITHHOLDING TAXES. Each Lender represents that it is
entitled to receive any payments to be made to it hereunder without the
withholding of any tax and will furnish to the Agent such forms, certifications,
statements and other documents as the Agent may request from time to time to
evidence such Lender's exemption from the withholding of any tax imposed by any
jurisdiction or to enable the Agent to comply with any applicable laws or
regulations

                                       78
<Page>

relating thereto. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, if any Lender is
not created or organized under the laws of the United States of America or any
state thereof, in the event that the payment of interest by the Borrowers is
treated for U.S. income tax purposes as derived in whole or in part from sources
from within the U.S., such Lender will furnish to the Agent Form 4224 or Form
1001 of the Internal Revenue Service, or such other forms, certifications,
statements or documents, duly executed and completed by such Lender as evidence
of such Lender's exemption from the withholding of U.S. tax with respect
thereto. The Agent shall not be obligated to make any payments hereunder to such
Lender in respect of any Loan or such Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment until
such Lender shall have furnished to the Agent the requested form, certification,
statement or document.

          Section 12.15. SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS AND RIGHTS OF LENDERS. The failure
of any Lender to make any Loan to be made by it on the date specified therefor
shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make its Loan on such
date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to
make a Loan to be made by such other Lender. 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.

          Section 12.16. PRO RATA TREATMENT OF LOANS, ETC.

               (a)  Each Lender shall at all times maintain a uniform, and not a
varying, undivided percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect
of the Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans. The Revolving
Credit Commitment Percentage of each Lender shall be equivalent at all times.

               (b)  Except to the extent otherwise provided, (i) each borrowing
under Section 2.02 shall be made from the Lenders and each payment of commitment
fees accruing under Section 2.15 shall be made for the account of the Lenders,
pro rata according to the relative amounts of the Revolving Credit Commitments
of each Lender and (ii) each prepayment and payment of principal of or interest
on Revolving Credit Loans shall be made for the account of the Lenders, pro rata
according to each Lender's proportionate share of the principal amount of all
Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding.

               (c)  If the Agent receives funds for application to the
Obligations under the Facility Documents under circumstances for which the
Facility Documents do not specify the Loans or other Obligations to which, or
the manner in which, such funds are to be applied, the Agent may, but shall not
be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each Lender ratably in
accordance with such Lender's proportionate share of the principal amount of all
Loans then outstanding, in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding
Loans or other Obligations owed to such Lender, and for application to such
principal installments, as the Agent shall direct.

          Section 12.17. SHARING OF PAYMENTS AMONG LENDERS. If a Lender shall
obtain payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan made by it through
the exercise of any right of setoff, banker's lien, counterclaim, or by any
other means (including any receipt of proceeds from the Collateral Account), it
shall promptly purchase from the other Lenders participations in (or, if

                                       79
<Page>

and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the Loans made
by the other Lenders in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time
to time as shall be equitable to the end that all the Lenders shall share the
benefit of such payment (net of any expenses which may be incurred by such
Lender in obtaining or preserving such benefit) pro rata in accordance with the
unpaid principal and interest on the Loans held by each of them. To such end the
Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of
participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise
be restored. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation
(or direct interest) in the Loans made by other Lenders may exercise all rights
of setoff, banker's lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such
participation (or direct interest). Nothing contained herein shall require any
Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to
exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to
any other indebtedness of the Borrower.

          Section 12.18. ENFORCEMENT OF FACILITY DOCUMENTS. After the Agent has
received written notice from any Lender that an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, the Agent shall, subject to the other provisions of this
Article 12 and to the terms of the Facility Documents (and subject to the
rights, if any, of other persons holding liens on, security interests in or
claims to the Collateral which are prior to those of the Security Agreement),
take such steps toward collection or enforcement of any Facility Document and
the Collateral (or any portion thereof), including without limitation an action
to enforce the Security Documents, as may be instructed in writing by the
Required Lenders, provided, however, that in no event shall the Agent be
required, and in all cases it shall be fully justified in failing or refusing,
to take any action under or pursuant to this Agreement (including without
limitation this Section 12.18) which, in the reasonable opinion of the Agent,
would be contrary to law or to the terms of this Agreement or any Facility
Document or would subject it or its officers, employees or directors to
liability, unless and until the Agent shall be indemnified or tendered security
to its satisfaction by the Lenders, ratably as provided in Section 12.05 hereof,
against any and all loss, cost, expense or liability in connection therewith,
anything herein or elsewhere contained to the contrary notwithstanding. Except
as expressly provided in this Section 12.18, the Agent shall not be required to
take steps toward the collection of any amounts becoming payable upon any
Collateral, or to take any action towards enforcing any Facility Document or to
institute, appear in or defend any action, suit or other proceeding in
connection therewith. The foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall not be
construed to limit the power of the Agent to take any action permitted under any
Facility Document to be taken by the Agent, and the Agent may, in accordance
with this agreement, take any aforesaid action without the receipt of indemnity
or security or any request therefor and the taking of any such action shall not
be construed as a waiver of any provision of this Agreement. Each Lender agrees
with the other Lenders and the Agent that (i) such Lender will not take any
action whatsoever to enforce any term or provision of any Facility Document or
otherwise to realize the benefits of the Collateral, except through the Agent in
accordance with this Agreement, and (ii) if the Required Lenders shall instruct
the Agent pursuant to this Section 12.18 to commence action to enforce any
Facility Document, such Lender (a) shall not thereafter commence any proceeding
of its own seeking payment of the Loans and/or any other Obligation held by such
Lender so long as such enforcement action is ongoing, and (b) if such a
proceeding shall be pending at the time such instructions are given to the
Agent, shall promptly (but in no event later than the commencement of such
enforcement action) cause such proceeding to be discontinued, provided that if
such Lender shall fail to discontinue such proceeding, the Agent is

                                       80
<Page>

hereby authorized and directed by such Lender and the other Lenders to commence
and maintain such foreclosure action on behalf of such other Lenders (excluding
such Lender) and any distribution of amounts required by this Agreement or the
Facility Documents shall be made only to such other Lenders and/or the Agent as
provided therein and, notwithstanding anything herein or in the Security
Agreement to the contrary, such Lender shall not be entitled to share therein.

          Section 12.19. BORROWING BASE STATEMENTS, ETC. The Agent shall provide
to the Lenders and the Borrowers, within fourteen (14) days after receipt of the
Borrowers' reports required under Section 7.09, a copy of the computations of
the Borrowing Base made by the Agent on the basis of such reports in
substantially the same format which has been furnished to the Lenders as of the
date of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Agent shall not be liable to
the Lenders for the accuracy of any information contained in such statements.
The Agent shall provide to the Lenders each Borrowing Base Certificate promptly
after receipt thereof from the Borrowers.

          Section 12.20. CO-AGENT. The Co-Agent shall not have any duties or
obligations under this Agreement and the other Facility Documents, express or
implied. The Co-Agent shall not incur any personal liability by reason of being
named the Co-Agent, hereunder.

                                   ARTICLE 13.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

          Section 13.01. AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. Except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Agreement, any provision of this Agreement or any of the other
Facility Documents may be amended or modified only by an instrument in writing
signed by the Borrowers, the Agent and the Required Lenders, or by the Borrowers
and the Agent acting with the consent of the Required Lenders and any provision
of this Agreement or the other Facility Documents for the benefit of the
Required Lenders or the Agent may be waived by the Required Lenders or by the
Agent acting with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no
amendment, modification or waiver shall

               (a)  increase the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender
without the written consent of such Lender and the Agent;

               (b)  reduce the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement
Obligation or reduce the rate of interest thereon (other than the decision not
to charge, or to cease to charge, interest at the Default Rate), or reduce any
fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly
affected thereby;

               (c)  postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal
amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation other than mandatory prepayments
of the Loans required under Section 2.04, or any interest thereon, or any fees
payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of any such payment, change the maturity
date of any Loan, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Revolving
Credit Commitment, or extend the ultimate expiration date of any Letter of
Credit beyond the Revolving Credit Termination Date, without the written consent
of each Lender directly affected thereby;

                                       81
<Page>

               (d)  change any of the provisions of this Section 13.01 or the
definition of "Required Lenders", or any other provision hereof specifying the
number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights
hereunder or under any other Facility Document or make any determination or
grant any consent hereunder or thereunder, without the written consent of each
Lender;

               (e)  release any material Guarantor from its obligations in
respect of its Guarantee under Article 11 or release all or substantially all of
the Collateral (or terminate all or substantially all of the Liens in favor of
the Agent on the Collateral), except as expressly permitted in this Agreement,
without the written consent of each Lender; or

               (f)  modify the Borrowing Base to increase the advance rate
percentages applicable to any category of Collateral included therein, to add
new categories of eligible Collateral or to make less restrictive the
eligibility criteria applicable to any category of Collateral (other than the
adjustment or elimination of reserves in the Agent's reasonable discretion),
without the written consent of each Lender and the Agent;

PROVIDED, FURTHER, that any amendment of Article 12 hereof or any amendment
which increases the obligations of the Agent hereunder shall require the consent
of the Agent. No failure by any party (Agent, any Lender or the Borrowers) to
exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a
waiver thereof or preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not
exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

          Section 13.02. USURY. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the Notes shall be
subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required to the
extent that receipt thereof would be contrary to provisions of law applicable to
a Lender limiting rates of interest which may be charged or collected by such
Lender.

          Section 13.03. EXPENSES. The Borrowers and the Guarantors jointly and
severally agree to pay, or to reimburse the Agent or the Lenders, as applicable,
for paying: (a) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent and
its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of
counsel to the Agent, in connection with the preparation and administration of
this Agreement and the other Facility Documents or any amendments, modifications
or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (b) all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with the issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for
payment thereunder, (c) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent or any
Lender, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel
for the Agent or any Lender, in connection with the investigation, enforcement
or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other
Facility Documents, including its rights under this Section 13.03, or in
connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder following a
Default or Event of Default, including in connection with any workout,
restructuring or negotiations in respect thereof; (d) all out-of-pocket costs,
expenses and advances incurred by the Agent in the protection of its security
interests (including but not limited to reasonable fees and out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in

                                       82
<Page>

perfection of, or checking the status of such security interests and
examinations to determine the value of Accounts), (e) all present or future
stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or
similar levies arising from any payment made hereunder or from the execution,
delivery or enforcement of, or otherwise with respect to this Agreement and the
other Facility Documents, all costs, expenses, taxes, assessments and other
charges incurred in connection with any filing, registration, recording,
perfection or termination of any security interest contemplated hereby or by any
other Facility Document or any other document referred to therein; and (f) the
amount of any and all out-of-pocket expenses which Agent may incur in connection
with the collection of any item deposited in the Controlled Disbursement Account
or received by Agent in connection with any Collateral, together with interest
on any of the above from the date of such expenditure to the date of repayment
in full to Agent at the rate of interest payable on the Notes. The Borrowers and
the Guarantors agree to indemnify the Agent and each Lender and their respective
directors, officers, employees and agents (each, an "Indemnified Party") from,
and hold each of them harmless against, any and all losses, liabilities, claims,
damages or expenses incurred by any of them arising out of or by reason of any
investigation or litigation or other proceedings (including any threatened
investigation or litigation or other proceedings) relating to any actual or
proposed use by the Borrowers or any Subsidiary of the proceeds of the Loans,
including without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel
incurred in connection with any such investigation or litigation or other
proceedings (but excluding any such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or
expenses incurred by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any
Indemnified Party). At its option, Agent may charge such costs, expenses and
amounts as a Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to this Agreement.

          Section 13.04. SURVIVAL. The obligations of the Borrowers under
Section13.03 shall survive the repayment of the Loans and the termination of the
Revolving Credit Commitments.

          Section 13.05. ASSIGNMENT; PARTICIPATIONS.

               (a)  Each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all
or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including,
without limitation, all or an undivided portion of all of its Revolving Credit
Commitment, Revolving Credit Loans, and all Notes held by it); PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a uniform, and not a varying,
undivided percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of the
Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans; (ii) except in the case
of an assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a
Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender's rights and obligations under this
Agreement, the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of the assigning Lender
being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of
the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event
be less than $5,000,000; (iii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible
Assignee; (iv) no such assignments shall be permitted without the consent of the
Agent and the Borrowers (not to be unreasonably withheld) except that if a
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the consent
of the Borrowers shall not be required; and (v) the parties to each such
assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for its acceptance and
recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note
or Notes subject to such assignment and a processing and recordation fee of
$3,500.

               (b)  Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording,
from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance,
(i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that
rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such
Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder
and (ii) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and
obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and
Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under
this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or
the remaining portion of an assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this
Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

               (c)  By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance,
the Lender assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree
with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as
provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no
representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any
statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity,
enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or
priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created
under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any
other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; (ii) such
assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no
responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrowers or any
of their Subsidiaries or the performance or observance by the Borrowers or their
Subsidiaries of any of their obligations under any Facility Document or any
other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (iii) such assignee
confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of
the financial statements referred to in Sections 6.05 and 7.08(a) and such other
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit
analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such
assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, such assigning
Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it
shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in
taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms
that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the
Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and
discretion under the Facility Documents as are delegated to the Agent by the
terms hereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably
incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in
accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this
Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

               (d)  The Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in
Section 13.06 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted
by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the
Lenders and the Revolving Credit Commitment and principal amount of the Loans
owing to each Lender from time to time (the "REGISTER"). The entries in the
Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest
error, and the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose
name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this
Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers or
any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice.

               (e)  Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by
an assigning Lender and an assignee, together with any Note or Notes subject to
such assignment, the Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been
completed and is in substantially the form of EXHIBIT H hereto, (i) accept such
Assignment and Acceptance; (ii) record the information contained therein in the
Register; and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrowers. In the case of
any assignment by a Lender, within five Banking Days after its receipt of such
notice, the Borrowers, at their own expense, shall execute and deliver to the
Agent in exchange for the surrendered Notes, new Notes to the order of such
Eligible Assignee in amounts equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment assumed by
it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning Lender has
retained a Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder, new Notes to the order of the
assigning Lender in amounts equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment retained by
it hereunder. Such new Note or Notes shall be in an aggregate principal amount
equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note or Notes, shall
be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall
otherwise be in substantially the form of EXHIBIT A hereto.

               (f)  Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons
(other than the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates) in or to all or any
portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without
limitation, all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving
Credit Loans and any Note or Notes held by it); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) such
Lender's obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its
Revolving Credit Commitment) shall remain unchanged; (ii) such Lender shall
remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of
such obligations; (iii) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for
all purposes of this Agreement; (iv) the Borrowers, the Agent and the other
Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement; (v)
no participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any
amendment or waiver of any provision of any Facility Document, or any consent to
any departure by the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries therefrom, except to
the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of,
or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in
each case to the extent subject to such participation, postpone any date fixed
for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other
amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such
participation, or release all or substantially all of the Collateral; and (vi)
the identity of the participant shall have been approved by the Agent in writing
to such Lender.

               (g)  Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or
participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section
13.05, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or
participant, any information relating to the Borrowers furnished to such Lender
by or on behalf of the Borrowers; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, prior to any such
disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant
shall agree in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential
information received by it from such Lender.

               (h)  Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this
Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any
portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the
Loans owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it)
