Revolving Loan Commitment Amount below the then current amount of the US Letter
of Credit Commitment Amount or the US Swing Line Loan Commitment Amount, as the
case may be, shall result in an automatic and corresponding reduction of the US
Letter of Credit Commitment Amount or the US Swing Line Loan Commitment Amount,
as the case may be, to the amount of the US Revolving Loan Commitment Amount, as
so reduced, without any further action on the part of any US Lender, the US
Issuer or the US Swing Line Lender, as the case may be.

        SECTION 2.2.2 Mandatory. Following the prepayment of the Term Loans in
full, in the event no Term Loans shall be outstanding, the US Revolving Loan
Commitment Amount and UK Revolving Loan Commitment shall, without any further
action, automatically and permanently be reduced pro rata concurrently with the
receipt of any Net Disposition Proceeds received by the US Borrower or its US
Subsidiaries, in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Disposition Proceeds.

        SECTION 2.2.3 Reallocation. At any time after December 31, 2000 and
prior to the US Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date, the Borrowers may,
two times during each twelve month period prior to the US Revolving Commitment
Termination Date, upon five Business Days' prior written notice delivered to the
Agents, elect to reallocate the US $ Equivalent of the then unused UK Revolving
Loan Commitment Amount to the US Revolving Loan Commitment Amount; provided,
however, that the US Revolving Loan Commitment Amount shall not at any time
exceed $60,000,000 (or such lesser amount if the US Revolving Loan Commitment
Amount has been permanently reduced in accordance with Sections 2.2.1 or 2.2.2)
as a result of such reallocation. Any such reallocation will automatically
reduce the UK Revolving Loan Commitment Amount by a corresponding amount and,
upon the effectiveness of such reallocation, the US Percentages relating to US
Revolving Loans of the Dual Lenders shall be increased, and the US Percentages
of the US Lenders that are not Dual Lenders shall be decreased, as set forth in
the next two sentences to the extent necessary to reflect the Dual Lenders'
commitment to make US Revolving Loans in the increased amount so reallocated to
the US Revolving Loan Commitment Amount, it being the intent of the parties
hereto that the US Revolving Loan Commitment of US Lenders that are not Dual
Lenders shall not be increased above that which was in effect immediately prior
to giving effect to such reallocation. The US Percentage of the US Revolving
Loan Commitment Amount of a US Lender that is not a Dual Lender shall equal the
maximum principal amount of US Revolving Loans that such US Lender would be
required to make immediately prior to giving effect to a reallocation pursuant
to this Section divided by the US Revolving Loan Commitment Amount immediately
after giving effect to the increase in the US Revolving Loan Commitment Amount
resulting from such reallocation. The US Percentage of the US Revolving Loan
Commitment Amount of a US Lender that is a Dual Lender shall equal the quotient
of (a) the sum of (i) the maximum principal amount of US Revolving Loans that
such Dual Lender would be required to make immediately prior to giving effect to
a reallocation pursuant to this Section plus (ii) the product of (x) such Dual
Lender's UK Percentage to make UK Revolving Loans multiplied by (y) the US $
Equivalent of the UK Revolving Loan Commitment Amount reallocated pursuant to
this Section, divided by (b) the US Revolving Loan Commitment Amount immediately
after giving effect to the increase in the US Revolving Loan Commitment Amount
resulting from such reallocation. If the US Revolving Loan Commitment Amount is
reduced as a result of a reallocation that increases the UK Revolving Loan
Commitment Amount pursuant to Section 3.2.2, then the US Percentages of the US
Lenders that are not Dual Lenders shall be increased and the US Percentages of
the Dual Lenders shall be decreased based upon the foregoing principles (it
being understood that the Commitment Amounts of the US Lenders that are not Dual
Lenders shall not be changed as a result of such reallocation). Upon (and as a
condition to) a reallocation pursuant to this Section which increases the US
Revolving Loan Commitment Amount, the US Borrower shall execute and deliver to
each of the Dual Lenders a new US Revolving Note to reflect the increased US
Revolving Loan Commitment of such Dual Lender. The US Agent shall distribute to
the Borrowers and the Lenders the modified Percentages in effect after giving
effect to a reallocation pursuant to this Section.

        SECTION 2.2.4 Intentionally Omitted.

        SECTION 2.3. Borrowing Procedures. US Loans (other than US Swing Line
Loans) shall be made by the US Lenders in accordance with Section 2.3.1, and US
Swing Line Loans shall be made by the US Swing Line Lender in accordance with
Section 2.3.2.

        SECTION 2.3.1 Borrowings of Loans other than US Swing Line Loans. Except
in the case of US Swing Line Loans, by delivering a Borrowing Request to the US
Agent on or before 1:00 p.m. (Local Time) on a Business Day, the US Borrower may
from time to time irrevocably request, on not less than one Business Day's
notice in the case of US Base Rate Loans, or three Business Days' notice in the
case of LIBO Rate Loans, and in either case not more than five Business Days'
notice, that a Borrowing be made, in the case of LIBO Rate Loans, in a minimum
amount of $1,000,000 and an integral multiple of $100,000, in the case of US
Base Rate Loans, in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and an integral multiple of
$100,000 or, in either case, in the unused amount of the applicable US
Commitment. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each
Borrowing shall be comprised of the Type of US Loans, and shall be made on the
Business Day, specified in such Borrowing Request. Except in the case of US
Swing Line Loans, on or before 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) on such Business Day,
each US Lender that has a US Commitment to make the US Loans being requested
shall deposit with the US Agent same day funds in an amount equal to such US
Lender's US Percentage of the requested Borrowing. Such deposit will be made to
an account which the US Agent shall specify from time to time by notice to the
US Lenders. To the extent funds are received from the US Lenders, the US Agent
shall make such funds available to the US Borrower by wire transfer to the
accounts the US Borrower shall have specified in its Borrowing Request. No US
Lender's obligation to make any US Loan shall be affected by any other US
Lender's failure to make any US Loan.

        SECTION 2.3.2 US Swing Line Loans. (a) By telephonic notice, promptly
followed (within one Business Day) by the delivery of a confirming Borrowing
Request, to the US Swing Line Lender on or before 1:00 p.m. (Local Time) on the
Business Day the proposed US Swing Line Loan is to be made, the US Borrower may
from time to time irrevocably request that US Swing Line Loans be made by the US
Swing Line Lender in an aggregate minimum principal amount of $250,000 and an
integral multiple of $100,000. All US Swing Line Loans shall be made as US Base
Rate Loans and shall not be entitled to be converted into LIBO Rate Loans. The
proceeds of each US Swing Line Loan shall be made available by the US Swing Line
Lender, by its close of business on the Business Day telephonic notice is
received by it as provided in this clause (a), to the US Borrower by wire
transfer to the account the US Borrower shall have specified in its notice
therefor.

        (b) If

                (i) any US Swing Line Loan shall be outstanding for more than
        four Business Days;

                (ii) any US Swing Line Loan is or will be outstanding on a date
        when the US Borrower requests that a US Revolving Loan be made; or

                (iii) any Default shall occur and be continuing,

each US Lender (other than the US Swing Line Lender) irrevocably agrees that it
will, at the request of the US Swing Line Lender, make a US Revolving Loan
(which shall initially be funded as a LIBO Rate Loan) in an amount equal to such
US Lender's US Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of all such US Swing
Line Loans then outstanding (such outstanding

                                       51
<PAGE>

US Swing Line Loans hereinafter referred to as the "Refunded US Swing Line
Loans"). On or before 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) on the first Business Day
following receipt by each US Lender of a request to make US Revolving Loans as
provided in the preceding sentence, each such US Lender shall deposit in an
account specified by the US Swing Line Lender the amount so requested in same
day funds and such funds shall be applied by the US Swing Line Lender to repay
the Refunded US Swing Line Loans. At the time the aforementioned US Lenders make
the above referenced US Revolving Loans, the US Swing Line Lender shall be
deemed to have made, in consideration of the making of the Refunded US Swing
Line Loans, US Revolving Loans in an amount equal to the US Swing Line Lender's
US Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Refunded US Swing Line
Loans. Upon the making (or deemed making, in the case of the US Swing Line
Lender) of any US Revolving Loans pursuant to this clause (b), the amount so
funded shall become outstanding under such US Lender's US Revolving Note and
shall no longer be owed under the US Swing Line Note. All interest payable with
respect to any US Revolving Loans made (or deemed made, in the case of the US
Swing Line Lender) pursuant to this clause (b) shall be appropriately adjusted
to reflect the period of time during which the US Swing Line Lender had
outstanding US Swing Line Loans in respect of which such US Revolving Loans were
made. Each US Lender's obligation to make the US Revolving Loans referred to in
this clause (b) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by
any circumstance, including (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense
or other right which such US Lender may have against the US Swing Line Lender,
the US Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the
occurrence or continuance of any Default; (iii) any adverse change in the
condition (financial or otherwise) of the US Borrower; (iv) the acceleration or
maturity of any US Loans or the termination of any US Commitment after the
making of any US Swing Line Loan; (v) any breach of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document by the US Borrower or any US Lender; or (vi) any other
circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of
the foregoing other than the making of a Swing Line Loan at a time when the US
Swing Line Lender has actual knowledge that the US Borrower is in default of the
payment when due of principal of or interest on any Loan or when the US Swing
Line Lender has received written notice from any US Lender or the US Borrower at
least one Business Day prior to the date of making a Swing Line Loan that any
other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of the date of the
extension of the Swing Line Loan.

        SECTION 2.4. Continuation and Conversion Elections. By delivering a US
Continuation/ Conversion Notice to the US Agent on or before 1:00 p.m. (Local
Time) on a Business Day, the US Borrower may from time to time irrevocably
elect, on not less than one Business Day's notice in the case of US Base Rate
Loans, or three Business Days' notice in the case of US LIBO Rate Loans, and in
either case not more than five Business Days' notice, that all, or any portion
in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and an integral multiple of
$100,000, in the case of US LIBO Rate Loans, or an aggregate minimum amount of
$1,000,000 and an integral multiple of $100,000, in the case of US Base Rate
Loans, be, in the case of US Base Rate Loans, converted into US LIBO Rate Loans
or be, in the case of US LIBO Rate Loans, converted into US Base Rate Loans or
continued as US LIBO Rate Loans (in the absence of delivery of a US
Continuation/Conversion Notice with respect to any US LIBO Rate Loan at least
three Business Days (but not more than five Business Days) before the last day
of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, such LIBO Rate Loan
shall, on such last day, automatically convert to a US Base Rate Loan);
provided, however, that (x) each such conversion or continuation shall be pro
rated among the applicable outstanding US Loans of all

                                       52
<PAGE>

US Lenders that have made such US Loans, and (y) no portion of the outstanding
principal amount of any US Loans may be continued as, or be converted into, US
LIBO Rate Loans when any Default has occurred and is continuing.

        SECTION 2.5. Funding. Each US Lender may, if it so elects and to the
extent such election does not result in any adverse consequences or effects
under Sections 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 or 6.6 (other than those for which the US Lender
does not seek compensation) fulfill its obligation to make, continue or convert
US LIBO Rate Loans hereunder by causing one of its foreign branches or
Affiliates (or an international banking facility created by such US Lender) to
make or maintain such US LIBO Rate Loan; provided, however, that such US LIBO
Rate Loan shall nonetheless be deemed to have been made and to be held by such
US Lender, and the obligation of the US Borrower to repay such US LIBO Rate Loan
shall nevertheless be to such US Lender for the account of such foreign branch,
Affiliate or international banking facility; and provided, further, however,
that such US Lender shall cause such foreign branch, Affiliate or international
banking facility to comply with the applicable provisions of clause (b) of
Section 6.6 with respect to such US LIBO Rate Loan. In addition, the US Borrower
hereby consents and agrees that, for purposes of any determination to be made
for purposes of Section 6.1, 6.2 or 6.3, it shall be conclusively assumed that
each US Lender elected to fund all LIBO Rate Loans by purchasing Dollar deposits
in its LIBOR Office's interbank eurodollar market.

        SECTION 2.6. US Register; US Notes.

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

        (b) (i) The US Borrower hereby designates the US Agent to serve as the
US Borrower's agent, solely for the purpose of this clause (b), to maintain a
register (the "US Register") on which the US Agent will record each US Lender's
US Commitment, the US Loans made by each US Lender and each repayment in respect
of the principal amount of the US Loans of each US Lender and annexed to which
the US Agent shall retain a copy of each Lender Assignment Agreement delivered
to the US Agent pursuant to Section 12.11.1. Failure to make any recordation, or
any error in such recordation, shall not affect the US Borrower's obligation in
respect of such US Loans. The entries in the US Register shall be conclusive, in
the absence of manifest error, and the US Borrower, the US Agent and the US
Lenders shall treat each Person in whose name a US Loan (and as provided in
clause (ii) the Note evidencing such US Loan, if any) is registered as the owner
thereof for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice or any
provision herein to the contrary. A US Lender's US Commitment and the US Loans
made pursuant thereto may be assigned or otherwise transferred in whole or in
part only by registration of such assignment or transfer in the US Register. Any
assignment or transfer of a US Lender's

                                       53
<PAGE>

US Commitment or the US Loans made pursuant thereto shall be registered in the
US Register only upon delivery to the US Agent of a Lender Assignment Agreement
duly executed by the assignor thereof. No assignment or transfer of a US
Lender's US Commitment or the US Loans made pursuant thereto shall be effective
unless such assignment or transfer shall have been recorded in the US Register
by the US Agent as provided in this Section.

                (ii) The US Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the US
        Agent by any US Lender, the US Borrower will execute and deliver to such
        US Lender, as applicable, a US Revolving Note, a US Term A Note and a US
        Term B Note evidencing the US Loans made by such US Lender. The US
        Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes each US Lender to make (or cause
        to be made) appropriate notations on the grid attached to such US
        Lender's Note (or on any continuation of such grid), which notations, if
        made, shall evidence, inter alia, the date of, the outstanding principal
        of, and the interest rate and Interest Period applicable to the US Loans
        evidenced thereby. Such notations shall, to the extent not inconsistent
        with the notations made by the US Agent in the US Register, be
        conclusive and binding on the US Borrower absent manifest error;
        provided, however, that the failure of any US Lender to make any such
        notations shall not limit or otherwise affect any Obligations of the US
        Borrower or any other Obligor. The Loans evidenced by any such Note and
        interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant
        to Section 12.11.1) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the
        order of the payee named therein and its registered assigns. A Note and
        the obligation evidenced thereby may be assigned or otherwise
        transferred in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment
        or transfer of such Note and the obligation evidenced thereby in the US
        Register (and each Note shall expressly so provide). Any assignment or
        transfer of all or part of an obligation evidenced by a Note shall be
        registered in the US Register only upon surrender for registration of
        assignment or transfer of the Note evidencing such obligation,
        accompanied by a Lender Assignment Agreement duly executed by the
        assignor thereof, and thereupon, if requested by the assignee, one or
        more new Notes shall be issued to the designated assignee and the old
        Note shall be returned by the US Agent to the US Borrower marked
        "exchanged". No assignment of a Note and the obligation evidenced
        thereby shall be effective unless it shall have been recorded in the US
        Register by the US Agent as provided in this Section.

        SECTION 2.7. Incremental US Term B Loans. At any time prior to December
31, 2001, the US Borrower may from time to time, by notice to the US Agent
(which shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request the
addition of the new US Term B Loans (the "Incremental US Term B Loans")
provided, however, that both at the time of any such request and after giving
effect to any such Incremental US Term B Loans and concurrent repayment of
Revolving Loans (i) no Default shall exist and (ii) the Borrowers shall be in
pro forma compliance with each of the financial covenants set forth in Section
9.2.4 as if the borrowing of Incremental US Term B Loans has occurred at the end
of the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial statements are required to
have been delivered pursuant to Section 9.1.1. The Incremental US Term B Loans
(i) shall be in an aggregate principal amount not in excess of $25,000,000 (or
such lesser amount in accordance with Section 9.2.2(h)(ii)), (ii) shall
constitute US Term B Loans in all respects, except as provided herein, and (iii)
shall amortize on a pro rata basis with the then remaining Initial US Term B
Loans. No existing Lender will be obligated to subscribe for any portion of
commitments to provide the Incremental US Term B Loans. The

                                       54
<PAGE>

US Borrower shall arrange for one or more banks or other financial institutions
(any such bank or other financial institution being called an "Additional
Lender") to extend commitments to provide Incremental US Term B Loans in an
aggregate amount equal to the unsubscribed amount, provided that each Additional
Lender shall be subject to the approval of the US Agent (which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld). Commitments in respect of Incremental US Term B
Loans (the "Incremental US Term B Loan Commitments") shall become US Term B
Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to a supplement to this Agreement (the
"Incremental Facility Supplement") and, as appropriate, the other Loan
Documents, executed by each of the Borrowers, each Additional Lender, and the US
Agent. The Incremental Facility Supplement may, without the consent of any other
Lenders, effect such amendments, and only such amendments, to this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of
the Agents, to effect the provisions of this Section. The effectiveness of any
Incremental Facility Supplement shall be subject to the satisfaction on or prior
to the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 7.3.

                                  ARTICLE III.

                          UK COMMITMENTS AND BORROWING

        SECTION 3.1. UK Commitments. On the terms and subject to the conditions
of this Agreement (including Sections 3.1.5, Article IV and Article VII),

        (a) each UK Lender severally agrees to make UK Loans in UKpound
sterling pursuant to the UK Commitments as described in this Section 3.1; and

        (b) the UK Issuer agrees that it will issue UK Letters of Credit
denominated in UKpound sterling pursuant to Section 3.1.2, and each UK Lender
agrees that it will purchase participation interests in such UK Letters of
Credit pursuant to Section 4.1.1.

Such agreements of each UK Lender are referred to collectively as its "UK
Commitment", and all UK Commitments of UK Lenders are referred to collectively
as the "UK Credit Facilities".

        SECTION 3.1.1 UK Revolving Loan Commitment. (a) From time to time on any
Business Day occurring prior to the UK Revolving Loan Commitment Termination
Date, each UK Lender will make revolving loans to (relative to such Lender, its
"UK Revolving Loans") the UK Borrower equal to such UK Lender's UK Percentage of
the aggregate amount of each Borrowing of the UK Revolving Loans requested by
the UK Borrower to be made on such day. The Commitment of each such UK Lender
described in this Section 3.1.1 is herein referred to as its "UK Revolving Loan
Commitment". On the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, the UK Borrower
may from time to time borrow, prepay and reborrow the UK Revolving Loans. Each
Revolving Loan shall be denominated in UKpound sterling.

        SECTION 3.1.2 UK Letter of Credit Commitment. From time to time on any
Business Day occurring prior to the UK Revolving Loan Commitment Termination
Date, the UK Issuer will

                                       55
<PAGE>

        (a) issue one or more standby or documentary letters of credit (relative
to such UK Issuer, its "UK Letter of Credit") denominated in UKpound sterling
for the account of the UK Borrower in the Stated Amount requested by the UK
Borrower on such day; or

        (b) extend the Stated Expiry Date of an existing standby UK Letter of
Credit previously issued hereunder to a date not later than the earlier of (i)
the UK Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date and (ii) one year from the
date of such extension.

        SECTION 3.1.3 UK Term B Loan Commitment. Subject to compliance by the UK
Borrower with the terms of Section 3.1.4, 7.1 and 7.2, in a single Borrowing
occurring on the Closing Date, each UK Lender that has a UK Term B Loan
Commitment will make loans to (relative to such UK Lender, its "UK Term B
Loans") the UK Borrower equal to such UK Lender's UK Percentage of the aggregate
amount of the Borrowing of UK Term B Loans requested by the UK Borrower to be
made on such day (with the commitment of each such UK Lender described in this
Section 3.1.3 herein referred to as its "UK Term B Loan Commitment"). No amounts
paid or prepaid with respect to UK Term B Loans may be reborrowed. The UK Term B
Loan shall be made in an amount equal to the UKpound sterling $ Equivalent of
$10,000,000.

        SECTION 3.1.4 UK Lenders Not Permitted or Required to Make Loans. No UK
Lender shall be permitted or required to make any UK Loan if, after giving
effect thereto, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of

        (a) all UK Revolving Loans

                (i) of all UK Lenders, together with the aggregate amount of all
        UK Letter of Credit Outstandings, would exceed the then existing UK
        Revolving Loan Commitment Amount; or

                (ii) of such UK Lender, together with such UK Lender's UK
        Percentage of the aggregate amount of all UK Letter of Credit
        Outstandings, would exceed such UK Lender's UK Percentage of the then
        existing UK Revolving Loan Commitment Amount;

        (b) all UK Term B Loans

                (i) of all UK Lenders would exceed the UK Term B Loan Commitment
        Amount; or

                (ii) of such UK Lender with a UK Term B Loan Commitment would
        exceed such UK Lender's UK Percentage of the UK Term B Loan Commitment
        Amount; or

        SECTION 3.1.5 UK Issuer Not Permitted or Required to Issue UK Letters of
Credit. The UK Issuer shall not be permitted or required to issue any UK Letter
of Credit if, after giving effect thereto, (a) the aggregate amount of all UK
Letter of Credit Outstandings would exceed the UK Letter of Credit Commitment
Amount or (b) the sum of the aggregate amount of all UK Letter of Credit
Outstandings plus the aggregate principal amount of all UK Revolving Loans then
outstanding would exceed the UK Revolving Loan Commitment Amount.

                                       56
<PAGE>

        SECTION 3.2. Reduction of the UK Commitment Amounts; Reallocation. The
UK Revolving Loan Commitment Amounts are subject to reduction from time to time
pursuant to Section 3.2.1, and to reallocation from time to time pursuant to
Section 3.2.2.

        SECTION 3.2.1 Optional. The UK Borrower may, from time to time on any
Business Day occurring after the Effective Date, voluntarily reduce the amount
of the UK Revolving Loan Commitment Amount or the UK Letter of Credit Commitment
Amount on the Business Day so specified by the UK Borrower; provided, however,
that all such reductions shall require at least one Business Day's prior notice
to the UK Agent and be permanent, and any partial reduction of any UK Commitment
Amount shall be in a minimum amount of UKpound sterling $1,000,000 and in an
integral multiple of UKpound sterling $100,000. Any reduction of the UK
Revolving Loan Commitment Amount which reduces the UK Revolving Loan Commitment
Amount below the then current amount of the UK Letter of Credit Commitment
Amount shall result in an automatic and corresponding reduction of the UK Letter
of Credit Commitment Amount to the amount of the UK Revolving Loan Commitment
Amount, as so reduced, without any further action on the part of any UK Lender
or any UK Issuer.

        SECTION 3.2.2 Reallocation. At any time after December 31, 2000 and
prior to the UK Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date, the Borrowers may,
two times during each twelve month period prior to the US Revolving Commitment
Termination Date upon five Business Days' prior written notice delivered to the
Agents, elect to reallocate the UKpound sterling $ Equivalent of the unused US
Revolving Loan Commitment Amount to the UK Revolving Loan Commitment Amount of
the Dual Lenders; provided, however, that the UK Revolving Loan Commitment
Amount shall not at any time exceed the UKpound sterling $ Equivalent of
$10,000,000 (or such lesser amount if the UK Revolving Loan Commitment Amount
has been permanently reduced in accordance with Section 3.2.1) as a result of
such reallocation. Any such reallocation will automatically reduce the US
Revolving Loan Commitment Amount by a corresponding amount. Upon a reallocation
pursuant to this Section, the UK Lenders shall have the same UK Percentage to
make UK Revolving Loans as that which was in effect on the Effective Date (as
such UK Percentage to make UK Revolving Loans may have been modified by way of a
Lender Assignment Agreement subsequent to the Effective Date). Upon (and as a
condition to) a reallocation pursuant to this Section which increases the UK
Revolving Loan Commitment Amount, the UK Borrower shall execute and deliver to
each of the Dual Lenders a new UK Revolving Note to reflect the increased UK
Revolving Loan Commitment of such Dual Lender. The UK Agent shall distribute to
the Borrowers and the Lenders the modified Percentages in effect after giving
effect to a reallocation pursuant to this Section.

        SECTION 3.3. Borrowing Procedures. UK Loans shall be made by the UK
Lenders in accordance with Section 3.3.1.

        SECTION 3.3.1 Borrowings UK Loans. By delivering a Borrowing Request to
the UK Agent on or before 1:00 p.m. (Local Time) on a Business Day, the UK
Borrower may from time to time irrevocably request, on not less than one nor
more than five Business Day's notice, UK Loans, in a minimum amount of
$1,000,000 and an integral multiple of $100,000 or in the unused amount of the
applicable UK Commitment. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this
Agreement, each Borrowing shall be LIBO Rate Loans, and shall be made on the
Business Day, specified in such Borrowing Request. On or before 11:00 a.m.
(Local Time) on

                                       57
<PAGE>

such Business Day, each UK Lender that has a UK Commitment to make the UK Loans
being requested shall deposit with the UK Agent same day funds in an amount
equal to such UK Lender's UK Percentage of the requested Borrowing. Such deposit
will be made to an account which the UK Agent shall specify from time to time by
notice to the UK Lenders. To the extent funds are received from the UK Lenders,
the UK Agent shall as soon as practicable thereafter make such funds available
to the UK Borrower by wire transfer to the accounts the UK Borrower shall have
specified in its Borrowing Request. No UK Lender's obligation to make any UK
Loan shall be affected by any other UK Lender's failure to make any UK Loan. All
UK Loans shall be UK LIBO Rate Loans.

        SECTION 3.4. Interest Period Elections. By delivering a UK Interest
Period Election Notice to the UK Agent on or before 1:00 p.m. (Local Time) on a
Business Day, the UK Borrower may, with respect to any UK Loan, from time to
time irrevocably elect, on not less than three nor more than five Business Day's
notice prior to the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable
thereto, the subsequent Interest Period applicable to all or any portion of such
UK Loans in an aggregate minimum amount of UKpound sterling $1,000,000 and an
integral multiple of UKpound sterling $100,000 Loans. In the absence of timely
delivery of a UK Interest Period Election Notice, the UK Borrower shall be
deemed to have elected an Interest Period with a duration of one month.

        SECTION 3.5. Funding. Each UK Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill its
obligation to make UK LIBO Rate Loans hereunder by causing one of its foreign
branches or Affiliates (or an international banking facility created by such UK
Lender) to make such UK LIBO Rate Loan; provided, however, that such LIBO Rate
Loan shall nonetheless be deemed to have been made and to be held by such UK
Lender, and the obligation of the UK Borrower to repay such UK LIBO Rate Loan
shall nevertheless be to such UK Lender for the account of such foreign branch,
Affiliate or international banking facility; and provided, further, however,
that such UK Lender shall cause such foreign branch, Affiliate or international
banking facility to comply with the applicable provisions of clause (b) of
Section 6.6 with respect to such UK LIBO Rate Loan. In addition, the UK Borrower
hereby consents and agrees that, for purposes of any determination to be made
for purposes of Section 6.3 or Section 6.12 it shall be conclusively assumed
that each UK Lender elected to fund all UK LIBO Rate Loans by purchasing UKpound
sterling deposits in the London interbank market.

        SECTION 3.6. UK Register; UK Notes. (a) Each UK Lender shall maintain in
accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the
Indebtedness of the UK Borrower to such UK Lender resulting from each UK Loan
made by such UK Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable
and paid to such UK Lender from time to time hereunder. In the case of a UK
Lender that does not request, pursuant to paragraph (b)(ii) below, execution and
delivery of a Note evidencing the UK Loans made by such UK Lender to the UK
Borrower, such account or accounts shall, to the extent not inconsistent with
the notations made by the UK Agent in the UK Register, be conclusive and binding
on the UK Borrower absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of
any UK Lender to maintain such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise
affect any Obligations of the UK Borrower or any other Obligor.

                                       58
<PAGE>

        (b) The UK Borrower hereby designates the UK Agent to serve as the UK
Borrower's agent, solely for the purpose of this clause (b), to maintain a
register (the "UK Register") on which the UK Agent will record each UK Lender's
UK Commitment, the UK Loans made by each UK Lender and each repayment in respect
of the principal amount of the UK Loans of each UK Lender and annexed to which
the UK Agent shall retain a copy of each Lender Assignment Agreement delivered
to the UK Agent pursuant to Section 12.11.1. Failure to make any recordation, or
any error in such recordation, shall not affect the UK Borrower's obligation in
respect of such UK Loans. The entries in the UK Register shall be conclusive, in
the absence of manifest error, and the UK Borrower, the UK Agent and the UK
Lenders shall treat each Person in whose name a UK Loan (and as provided in
clause (ii) the Note evidencing such UK Loan, if any) is registered as the owner
thereof for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice or any
provision herein to the contrary. A UK Lender's UK Commitment and the UK Loans
made pursuant thereto may be assigned or otherwise transferred in whole or in
part only by registration of such assignment or transfer in the UK Register. Any
assignment or transfer of a UK Lender's UK Commitment or the UK Loans made
pursuant thereto shall be registered in the UK Register only upon delivery to
the UK Agent of a Lender Assignment Agreement duly executed by the assignor
thereof No assignment or transfer of a UK Lender's UK Commitment or the UK Loans
made pursuant thereto shall be effective unless such assignment or transfer
shall have been recorded in the UK Register by the UK Agent as provided in this
Section.

        (c) The UK Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the UK Agent by any
UK Lender, the UK Borrower will execute and deliver to such UK Lender a UK Note
evidencing the UK Loans made by such UK Lender to the UK Borrower. The UK
Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes each UK Lender to make (or cause to be
made) appropriate notations on the grid attached to such UK Lender's UK Note (or
on any continuation of such grid), which notations, if made, shall evidence,
inter alia, the date of, the outstanding principal of, and the interest rate and
Interest Period applicable to the UK Loans evidenced thereby. Such notations
shall, to the extent not inconsistent with the notations made by the UK Agent in
the UK Register, be conclusive and binding on the UK Borrower that issued such
note absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of any UK Lender
to make any such notations shall not limit or otherwise affect any Obligations
of the UK Borrower or any other Obligor. The Loans evidenced by any such Note
and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to
Section 12.11.1) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the order of the
payee named therein and its registered assigns. A UK Note and the obligation
evidenced thereby may be assigned or otherwise transferred in whole or in part
only by registration of such assignment or transfer of such UK Note and the
obligation evidenced thereby in the UK Register (and each UK Note shall
expressly so provide). Any assignment or transfer of all or part of an
obligation evidenced by a UK Note shall be registered in the UK Register only
upon surrender for registration of assignment or transfer of the UK Note
evidencing such obligation, accompanied by a Lender Assignment Agreement duly
executed by the assignor thereof, and thereupon, if requested by the assignee,
one or more new UK Notes shall be issued to the designated assignee and the old
Note shall be returned by the UK Agent to the UK Borrower marked "exchanged". No
assignment of a UK Note and the obligation evidenced thereby shall be effective
unless it shall have been recorded in the UK Register by the UK Agent as
provided in this Section.

                                  ARTICLE IV.

                    US AND UK LETTER OF CREDIT SUBFACILITIES

        On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement (including
Article VII), each Borrower, each Issuer and each Lender severally agrees as
follows:

        SECTION 4.1. Issuance Procedures. By delivering an Issuance Request to
the applicable Agent under the applicable Facility on a local Business Day, at
or before 1:00 p.m. (Local Time), the Borrower under such Facility may, from
time to time irrevocably request, on not less than three nor more than ten
Business Days' notice (or such other notice as may be acceptable in the sole
discretion of the Issuer under such Facility), in the case of an initial
issuance of a Letter of Credit, and not less than three nor more than ten
Business Days' notice prior to the then existing Stated Expiry Date of a Letter
of Credit (unless a shorter or longer notice period is acceptable in the sole
discretion of the Issuer under such Facility), in the case of a request for the
extension of the Stated Expiry Date of a Letter of Credit, that the Issuer under
such Facility issue, or extend the Stated Expiry Date of, as the case may be, an
irrevocable Letter of Credit for such Borrower's account. The obligations of a
Borrower and the applicable Issuer in respect of Letters of Credit may at the
election of such Issuer be subject to The International Standby Practices (ISP
98) or other code of practices relating to letters of credit. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein or in any separate application for any
Letter of Credit, each Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (v) it shall
be obligated to reimburse the applicable Issuer under the applicable Facility
upon each Disbursement under a Letter of Credit issued under such Facility and
(w) it shall be deemed to be the obligor and account party for purposes of each
Letter of Credit issued at its request under such Facility. Upon receipt of an
Issuance Request pursuant to either Facility, the Agent under such Facility
shall promptly provide notice thereof to the Issuer under such Facility and each
Lender under such Facility. Each Letter of Credit shall by its terms be stated
to expire on a date (its "Stated Expiry Date") no later than the earlier of (x)
the applicable scheduled Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date or (y) one
year from the date of its issuance. The Issuer of each Letter of Credit will
make available to the applicable Borrower the original of such Letter of Credit.

        SECTION 4.1.1 Other Lenders' Participation. Upon the issuance of each
Letter of Credit pursuant to a Facility by the Issuer under such Facility, and
without further action, each Lender (other than such Issuer) under such Facility
shall be deemed to have irrevocably purchased from such Issuer, to the extent of
such Lender's Percentage of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount under such
Facility, and such Issuer shall be deemed to have irrevocably granted and sold
to such Lender a participation interest in such Letter of Credit (including the
contingent liability and any Reimbursement Obligation and all rights with
respect thereto), and such Lender shall, to the extent of its Percentage of the
Revolving Loan Commitment Amount under such Facility, as the case may be, be
responsible for reimbursing promptly (and in any event within one Business Day)
such Issuer for Reimbursement Obligations which have not been reimbursed in
accordance with Section 4.1.3 by the applicable Borrower which requested the
issuance of such Letter of Credit. In addition, each Lender under a Facility
shall, to the extent of its Percentage of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount
under such Facility, be entitled to receive a ratable portion of the Letter of
Credit fees payable pursuant to Section 5.3.2 with

                                       60
<PAGE>

respect to each Letter of Credit issued under such Facility and of interest
payable pursuant to Section 5.2 with respect to any Reimbursement Obligation. To
the extent that any Lender under a Facility has reimbursed the Issuer under such
Facility for a Disbursement as required by this Section, such Lender shall be
entitled to receive a portion, according to its Percentage of the Revolving Loan
Commitment Amount under such Facility, of any amounts subsequently received
(from the Borrower which requested the issuance of such Letter of Credit or
otherwise) in respect of such Disbursement.

        SECTION 4.1.2 Disbursements; Conversion to Loans. The Issuer of a Letter
of Credit issued pursuant to a Facility will notify the Borrower which requested
the issuance of such Letter of Credit and the applicable Agent promptly of the
presentment for payment of such Letter of Credit, together with notice of the
date (the "Disbursement Date") such payment shall be made (each such payment, a
"Disbursement"). Subject to the terms and provisions of such Letter of Credit
and this Agreement, such Issuer shall make such payment to the beneficiary (or
its designee) of such Letter of Credit. On the first Business Day following the
Disbursement Date (the "Reimbursement Due Date") such Borrower will reimburse
the applicable Agent for the account of the Issuer of such Letter of Credit, for
all amounts which such Issuer has disbursed under such Letter of Credit,
together with interest thereon at the rate per annum otherwise applicable to
Loans under such Facility (which shall, in the case of the US Credit Facilities,
be US Base Rate Loans) from and including the Disbursement Date to but excluding
the Reimbursement Due Date and, thereafter (unless such Disbursement is
converted into UK Loans or US Base Rate Loans, as appropriate, on the
Reimbursement Due Date), at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum then in
effect with respect to such overdue UK Loans or US Base Rate Loans, as the case
may be, pursuant to Section 5.2.2 for the period from the Reimbursement Due Date
through the date of such reimbursement; provided, however, that, if no Default
shall have then occurred and be continuing, unless such Borrower has notified
the applicable Agent no later than one Business Day prior to the Reimbursement
Due Date that it will reimburse such Issuer for such Disbursement, then the
amount of the Disbursement shall be deemed to be a Borrowing under such Facility
(which shall, in the case of the US Credit Facilities, be US Base Rate Loans)
and following the giving of notice thereof by the applicable Agent to the
Lenders under such Facility, each such Lender under such Facility (other than
such Issuer) will deliver to such Issuer on the Reimbursement Due Date
immediately available funds in an amount equal to such Lender's Percentage of
such Borrowing. Each conversion of Disbursement amounts into a Borrowing shall
constitute a representation and warranty by such Borrower that on the date of
such Borrowing all of the statements set forth in Sections 7.2.1 and 7.2.2 are
true and correct.

        SECTION 4.1.3 Reimbursement. If a Borrower shall fail to honor its
obligation (a "Reimbursement Obligation") under Section 4.1.2 to reimburse the
applicable Issuer with respect to a Disbursement (including interest thereon) in
respect of a Letter of Credit issued upon the request of such Borrower under the
applicable Facility and such Disbursement is not converted into a Borrowing
pursuant to Section 4.1.2, then, upon notice thereof by the applicable Agent to
the Lenders under such Facility, each such Lender's obligation under Section
4.1.1 to reimburse, according to its Percentage of the Revolving Loan Commitment
Amount under such Facility, such Issuer for such Disbursement shall be absolute
and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any
setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which such Borrower or such Lender,
as the case may be, may have or have had against such Issuer or any

                                       61
<PAGE>

such Lender, including any defense based upon the failure of any Disbursement to
conform to the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit (if, in such Issuer's
good faith opinion, such Disbursement is determined to be appropriate) or any
non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such
Letter of Credit; provided, however, that after paying in full its Reimbursement
Obligation hereunder, nothing herein shall adversely affect the right of such
Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, to commence any proceeding against
such Issuer for any wrongful Disbursement made by such Issuer under a Letter of
Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting gross negligence or willful
misconduct on the part of such Issuer.

        SECTION 4.1.4 Deemed Disbursements. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of any Event of Default of the type described in Section 10.1.9 or,
with notice from the US Agent acting at the direction of the Required Lenders,
upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any other Event of Default,

        (a) an amount equal to that portion of all Letter of Credit Outstandings
attributable to the then aggregate amount which is undrawn and available under
all Letters of Credit outstanding under each Facility shall, without demand upon
or notice to any Borrower or any other Person, be deemed to have been paid or
disbursed by the Issuer of such Letters of Credit (notwithstanding that such
amount may not in fact have been so paid or disbursed); and

        (b) upon notification by the applicable Agent to such Borrower of its
obligations under this Section, such Borrower shall be immediately obligated to
reimburse such Issuer for the amount deemed to have been so paid or disbursed by
such Issuer.

        Any amounts so payable by such Borrower pursuant to this Section shall
be deposited in cash with the applicable Agent and held as collateral security
for the Obligations of such Borrower in connection with such Letters of Credit
issued by such Issuer. At such time when the Events of Default giving rise to
the deemed disbursements hereunder shall have been cured or waived, the
applicable Agent shall return to such Borrower all amounts then on deposit with
the applicable Agent pursuant to this Section, together with accrued interest at
the US Federal Funds Rate, which have not been applied to the satisfaction of
such Obligations.

        SECTION 4.1.5 Nature of Reimbursement Obligations. Each Borrower
requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit and, to the extent set forth in
Section 4.1.1, each Lender under the Facility pursuant to which such Letter of
Credit is issued shall assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuse of such
Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof. Each Issuer (except to the extent
of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct) shall not be responsible for:

        (a) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal
effect of any Letter of Credit or any document submitted by any party in
connection with the application for and issuance of a Letter of Credit, even if
it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient,
inaccurate, fraudulent or forged;

        (b) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal
effect of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or
assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or the proceeds
thereof in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for
any reason;

                                       62
<PAGE>

        (c) failure of the beneficiary to comply fully with conditions required
in order to demand payment under a Letter of Credit; (d) errors, omissions,
interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail,
cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise; or

        (e) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document
or draft required in order to make a Disbursement under a Letter of Credit.

None of the foregoing shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the
rights or powers granted to any Issuer or any Lender. In furtherance and
extension and not in limitation or derogation of any of the foregoing, any
action taken or omitted to be taken by any Issuer of a Letter of Credit in good
faith (and not constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct) shall be
binding upon the Borrower requesting the issuance of such Letter of Credit, each
Obligor and each Lender under the Facility pursuant to which such Letter of
Credit is issued, and shall not put such Issuer under any resulting liability to
such Borrower, any Obligor or any such Lender, as the case may be.

                                   ARTICLE V.

                   REPAYMENTS, PREPAYMENTS, INTEREST AND FEES

        SECTION 5.1. Repayment and Prepayments; Application.

        SECTION 5.1.1 Repayments and Prepayments. Each Borrower shall repay (in
US Dollars with respect to US Loans and in UKpound sterling with respect to UK
Loans) in full the unpaid principal amount of each Loan outstanding to it upon
the applicable Stated Maturity Date therefor. Prior thereto, payments and
prepayments of Loans shall or may be made as set forth below.

        (a) From time to time on any Business Day, a Borrower may make a
voluntary prepayment, in whole or in part, of the outstanding principal amount
of any

                (i) Loans (other than US Swing Line Loans) outstanding to it
        under either Facility; provided, however, that

                        (A) any such prepayment of the Term Loans outstanding to
                it shall be made pro rata among Term Loans outstanding to it
                under such Facility of the same Type and, if applicable, having
                the same Interest Period of all Lenders under such Facility that
                have made such Term Loans and any such prepayment of Revolving
                Loans outstanding to it shall be made pro rata among the
                Revolving Loans outstanding to it under such Facility of the
                same Type and, if applicable, having the same Interest Period of
                all Lenders under such Facility that have made such Revolving
                Loans;

                                       63
<PAGE>

                        (B) all such voluntary prepayments shall require at
                least one but no more than five Business Days' prior written
                notice to the Agent under such Facility;

                        (C) all such voluntary partial prepayments shall be, in
                the case of LIBO Rate Loans, in an aggregate minimum amount of
                $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount of LIBO Rate Loans then
                outstanding) and an integral multiple of $100,000, and, in the
                case of US Base Rate Loans, in an aggregate minimum amount of
                $250,000 (or such lesser amount of US Base Rate Loans then
                outstanding) and an integral multiple of $100,000; and

                        (D) each Borrower shall comply with Section 6.4 in the
                event that any LIBO Rate Loan is prepaid on any day other than
                the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan;

        (ii) US Swing Line Loans; provided that

                        (A) all such voluntary prepayments shall require prior
                telephonic notice to the applicable US Swing Line Lender on or
                before 1:00 p.m. (Local Time) on the day of such prepayment
                (such notice to be confirmed in writing within 24 hours
                thereafter); and

                        (B) all such voluntary partial prepayments shall be, in
                the case of US Swing Line Loans, in an aggregate minimum amount
                of $500,000 (or such lesser amount of US Swing Line Loans then
                outstanding) and an integral multiple of $100,000.

        (b) (i) On each date when the sum of (x) the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of all US Revolving Loans and US Swing Line Loans and (y) the
aggregate amount of all US Letter of Credit Outstandings exceeds the US
Revolving Loan Commitment Amount (as it may be reduced or reallocated from time
to time, including pursuant to Sections 2.2 and 3.2), the US Borrower shall make
a mandatory prepayment of all US Revolving Loans or all US Swing Line Loans (or
both) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; and (ii) on each date when
the sum of (x) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all UK Revolving
Loans and (y) the aggregate amount of all UK Letter of Credit Outstandings
exceeds the UK Revolving Loan Commitment Amount (as it may be reduced or
reallocated from time to time, including pursuant to Sections 2.2 and 3.2), the
UK Borrower shall make a mandatory prepayment of all UK Revolving Loans in an
aggregate amount equal to such excess.

        (c) Within three (3) Business Days after the receipt by the US Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries of any Net Disposition Proceeds (other than up to
$100,000 in Net Disposition Proceeds in the aggregate in any Fiscal Year), the
US Borrower or, if such Net Disposition Proceeds are received by the UK Borrower
or one of its Subsidiaries, the UK Borrower or such Subsidiary, shall deliver to
the Agents a calculation of the amount of such Net Disposition Proceeds and,
subject to the following proviso, the Borrowers shall make a mandatory
prepayment of the Term Loans in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Disposition
Proceeds, to

                                       64
<PAGE>

be applied as set forth in Section 5.1.2; provided, that, at the option of the
US Borrower and so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
US Borrower may use or cause the appropriate Subsidiary to use the Net
Disposition Proceeds to purchase assets useful in the business of the US
Borrower and its Subsidiaries or to purchase all the equity interests of a
Person owning such assets (with such assets or interests collectively referred
to as "Qualified Assets") within 365 days after the consummation (and with the
Net Disposition Proceeds) of such sale, conveyance or disposition, and in the
event the US Borrower elects to exercise its right to purchase Qualified Assets
with the Net Disposition Proceeds pursuant to this clause, the US Borrower shall
deliver a certificate of an Authorized Officer to the Agents within 30 days
following the receipt of Net Disposition Proceeds setting forth the amount of
the Net Disposition Proceeds which the Borrowers expect to use to purchase
Qualified Assets during such 365 day period; provided, further, that the US
Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall be only permitted to reinvest in Qualified
Assets Net Disposition Proceeds in an aggregate amount of not more than
$1,000,000 during any period of 12 consecutive months (and no more than
$5,000,000 after the Effective Date). If and to the extent that the Borrowers
have elected to reinvest Net Disposition Proceeds as permitted above, then on
the date which is 365 days following the receipt of the Net Disposition
Proceeds, the Borrowers shall (1) deliver a certificate of an Authorized Officer
to the Agents certifying as to the amount and use of such Net Disposition
Proceeds actually used to purchase Qualified Assets and (2) deliver to the
Agents, for application in accordance with this clause and Section 5.1.2, an
amount equal to the remaining unused Net Disposition Proceeds. Provided that the
Borrowers shall have complied with its obligations under this Agreement (A) in
connection with any Permitted Disposition consisting of the sale of all of the
shares of Capital Stock of any Subsidiary that is a party to a Subsidiary
Guaranty or any other Loan Document, the obligations of such Subsidiary under
such Loan Document shall automatically be discharged and released without any
further action by the Agents or any Lender (and the Agents and the Lenders
hereby agree, upon the request (and at the expense) of the Borrowers, to execute
and deliver any instrument or other document in a form acceptable to the Agents
which may reasonably be required to evidence such discharge and release) and (B)
in connection with the sale or other disposition of the Capital Stock of a
Subsidiary of the US Borrower, the Agents shall release to the pledgor thereof,
without representation, warranty or recourse, express or implied, the Capital
Stock of such Subsidiary held by it as pledged stock, if any, under a Pledge
Agreement.

        (d) On the Stated Maturity Date and on each Quarterly Payment Date
occurring during any period set forth below (or, if a Quarterly Payment Date
occurs on the next succeeding Business Day pursuant to the definition of
Quarterly Payment Date, then on such next succeeding Business Day), the US
Borrower shall make a scheduled repayment of the outstanding principal amount,
if any, of all US Term A Loans in an amount equal to the amount set forth below
opposite the Stated Maturity Date or such Quarterly Payment Date, as applicable:

        (g) Concurrently with the receipt by the US Borrower of any Net Equity
Proceeds or Net Debt Proceeds, the US Borrower shall make, or cause to be made,
a mandatory prepayment

<PAGE>

of the Term Loans in an amount equal to 50% of such Net Equity Proceeds and 100%
of such Net Debt Proceeds, respectively, to be applied as set forth in Section
5.1.2.

        (h) No later than 5 Business Days following the delivery of the US
Borrower's annual audited consolidated financial statements required pursuant to
clause (b) of Section 9.1.1 (beginning with the annual audited consolidated
financial statements delivered in respect of the Fiscal Year ended December 31,
2000), if the Leverage Ratio was greater than or equal to 2.50:1.00 for the
Fiscal Year to which such financial statements relate, the US Borrower shall
deliver to the US Agent a calculation of the Excess Cash Flow for such Fiscal
Year and, no later than 5 Business Days following the delivery of such
calculation, make a mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans in an amount equal to
50% of the Excess Cash Flow (if any) for such Fiscal Year, to be applied as set
forth in Section 5.1.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Excess Cash Flow for
the Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2000 used to compute the amount of
prepayment, if any, required pursuant to this clause (h) shall be the Excess
Cash Flow solely for the period from July 1, 2000 through December 31, 2000.

        (i) (i) On each date when any reduction in the US Revolving Loan
Commitment Amount shall become effective, including pursuant to Section 2.2 or
Section 5.1.2, the US Borrower shall make a mandatory prepayment of all US
Revolving Loans and US Swing Line Loans, and, if required, deliver cash
collateral for US Letter of Credit Outstandings, equal to the excess, if any, of
the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all US Revolving Loans, US Swing
Line Loans and US Letter of Credit Outstandings over the US Revolving Loan
Commitment Amount, as so reduced; and (ii) on each date when any reduction in
the UK Revolving Loan Commitment Amount shall become effective, including
pursuant to Section 3.2 or Section 5.1.2 (but excluding reductions relating to
fluctuations in exchange rates), the UK Borrower shall make a mandatory
prepayment of all UK Revolving Loans, and, if required, deliver cash collateral
for UK Letter of Credit Outstandings, equal to the excess, if any, of the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of all UK Revolving Loans and UK Letter
of Credit Outstandings over the UK Revolving Loan Commitment Amount, as so
reduced.

        (j) Within one Business Day following the receipt of a notice from the
UK Agent that the then outstanding principal amount of UK Revolving Loans is in
excess of 115% of the UKpound sterling $ Equivalent of the then existing UK
Revolving Loan Commitment Amount (based on a determination made by the UK Agent
in accordance with its customary banking practice for determining currency
exchange rates, which shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers absent
manifest error), the UK Borrower shall make a repayment of the principal amount
of the UK Revolving Loans to the UK Agent in the amount necessary to cause the
outstanding principal amount of UK Revolving Loans to not exceed the UKpound
sterling $ Equivalent of the then existing UK Revolving Loan Commitment Amount.

        (k) Immediately upon any acceleration of the Stated Maturity Date of any
Loans pursuant to Section 10.2 or Section 10.3, each Borrower shall repay all
the Loans outstanding to it, unless, pursuant to Section 10.3, only a portion of
all the Loans outstanding to it is so accelerated (in which case the portion so
accelerated shall be so prepaid).

        (l) Concurrently with the receipt by the US Borrower of any proceeds of
the Incremental US Term B Loans, the US Borrower shall use the proceeds of the
Incremental US

                                       68
<PAGE>

Term B Loans to repay the outstanding US Revolving Loans (which payment shall
not reduce outstanding US Revolving Commitments).

        Each prepayment of any Loans made pursuant to this Section shall be
without premium or penalty, except as may be required by Section 6.4. If any
such prepayment or repayments described above relate to LIBO Rate Loans which
have not matured, the applicable Borrower may at such time elect to deposit in a
cash collateral account opened and maintained by the applicable Agent, an amount
equal to the aggregate undiscounted face amount (or the portion thereof relating
to the portion of all Loans so accelerated, in the case of clause (k)) of all
such unmatured LIBO Rate Loans and such amounts held in such cash collateral
account shall be applied by the Agent to the payment of maturing LIBO Rate
Loans. No prepayment of principal of any Revolving Loans or US Swing Line Loans
pursuant to clause (a) or (b) shall cause a reduction in either Revolving Loan
Commitment Amount or the US Swing Line Loan Commitment Amount, as the case may
be.

        SECTION 5.1.2 Application. Amounts prepaid shall be applied as set forth
in this Section.

        (a) Subject to clause (b), each prepayment or repayment of the principal
of the Loans shall be applied, to the extent of such prepayment or repayment,
first in the case of US Loans, to the principal amount thereof being maintained
as US Base Rate Loans, and second, in the case of US Loans, to the principal
amount thereof being maintained as LIBO Rate Loans, and, in the case of UK
Loans, to the principal amount thereof; provided that mandatory prepayments of
LIBO Rate Loans made pursuant to clauses (c), (g), (h) and (l) of Section 5.1.1,
if not made on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto, shall,
at the US Borrower's option, so long as no Default has occurred and is
continuing, be prepaid subject to the provisions of Section 6.4, or the amount
required to be applied to the prepayment of LIBO Rate Loans (after application
to any US Base Rate Loans) shall be deposited with the US Agent as cash
collateral for such Loans on terms reasonably satisfactory to the US Agent. With
respect to the amount (i) of LIBO Rate Loans cash collateralized pursuant to the
preceding sentence and (ii) to be applied to the mandatory cash
collateralization of LIBO Rate Loans, each such amount shall be applied in the
order of the Interest Periods next ending most closely to the date of receipt of
the proceeds in respect of which such prepayment or cash collateralization is
required to be made and on the last day of each such Interest Period (together
with a payment of all interest that is due on the last day of each such Interest
Period pursuant to clause (d) of Section 5.2.3). After such application, unless
an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any remaining
interest earned on such cash collateral shall be paid to the applicable
Borrower.

        (b) Each prepayment (or cash collateralization) of US Term Loans made
pursuant to clauses (c), (g) and (h) of Section 5.1.1 and UK Term B Loans made
pursuant to clause (c) of Section 5.1.1 shall be applied (i) first, pro rata to
a mandatory prepayment (or cash collateralization, in the case of LIBO Rate
Loans) of the outstanding principal amount of all applicable Term Loans (with
the amount of such prepayment of such applicable Term Loans being applied to the
remaining applicable Term Loan amortization payments, unless otherwise consented
to by the Required Lenders, pro rata in accordance with the amount of each such
remaining Term Loan amortization payment), until all such applicable Term Loans
have been paid in full, and (ii) second, once all applicable Term Loans have
been repaid in full, to the

                                       69
<PAGE>

repayment of any outstanding US Revolving Loans and UK Revolving Loans, pro rata
in accordance with the amount of the outstanding amount thereof, and a reduction
of the US Revolving Loan Commitment Amount and UK Revolving Loan Commitment
Amount, pro rata in accordance with such amounts, in accordance with and subject
to the limitations set forth in Section 2.2.2.

        SECTION 5.2. Interest Provisions. Interest on the outstanding principal
amount of all Loans shall accrue and be payable in accordance with this Section
5.2.

        SECTION 5.2.1 Rates. Subject to Section 5.2.2, pursuant to an
appropriately delivered Borrowing Request or US Continuation/Conversion Notice
or UK Interest Period Election Notice, each Borrower may elect that Loans
comprising a Borrowing accrue interest at a rate per annum:

        (a) in the case of the US Borrower,

                (i) on that portion maintained from time to time as a US Base
        Rate Loan, equal to the sum of the US Alternate Base Rate from time to
        time in effect plus the Applicable Margin; provided that the Applicable
        Margin for US Swing Line Loans shall be the then effective Applicable
        Margin for US Revolving Loans maintained from time to time as US Base
        Rate Loans, and

                (ii) on that portion maintained from time to time as a LIBO Rate
        Loan, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, equal to the sum
        of the LIBO Rate (Reserve Adjusted) for such Interest Period plus the
        Applicable Margin; and

        (b) in the case of the UK Borrower, during each Interest Period
applicable to a UK Loan, equal to the sum of the LIBO Rate for such Interest
Period plus the Applicable Margin plus Mandatory Liquid Asset Cost.

        All LIBO Rate Loans shall bear interest from and including the first day
of the applicable Interest Period to (but not including) the last day of such
Interest Period at the interest rate determined as applicable to such LIBO Rate
Loan.

        SECTION 5.2.2 Post-Maturity Rates. After the date any principal amount
of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation is due and payable (whether on the
Stated Maturity Date, upon acceleration or otherwise), or after any other
monetary Obligation of any Borrower shall have become due and payable, such
Borrower shall pay, but only to the extent permitted by law, interest (after as
well as before judgment) on such amounts at a rate per annum equal to, in the
case of overdue amounts relating to the US Credit Facilities, the rate
applicable to US Base Rate Loans from time to time plus a margin of 2% and, in
the case of overdue amounts relating to the UK Credit Facilities, the rate
applicable to UK Loans from time to time plus a margin of 2%.

        SECTION 5.2.3 Payment Dates. Interest accrued on each Loan shall be
payable, without duplication:

        (a) on the Stated Maturity Date therefor;

                                       70
<PAGE>

        (b) on the date of any payment or prepayment, in whole or in part, of
principal outstanding on such Loan on the principal amount so paid or prepaid;

        (c) with respect to US Base Rate Loans, in arrears on each Quarterly
Payment Date occurring after the Effective Date;

        (d) with respect to LIBO Rate Loans, on the last day of each applicable
Interest Period (and, if such Interest Period shall exceed 3 months, on the
third month anniversary of such Interest Period); and

        (e) on that portion of any Loans the Stated Maturity Date of which is
accelerated pursuant to Section 10.2 or Section 10.3, immediately upon such
acceleration.

        Interest accrued on Loans or other monetary Obligations arising under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document after the date such amount is due and
payable (whether on the Stated Maturity Date, upon acceleration or otherwise)
shall be payable upon demand.

        SECTION 5.3. Fees. Each Borrower agrees to pay the fees applicable to it
set forth in this Section 5.3. All such fees shall be non-refundable.

        SECTION 5.3.1 Commitment Fee. Each of the US Borrower and the UK
Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent under its respective Facility for the
account of each Lender under such Facility, for the period (including any
portion thereof when any of its Commitments under such Facility are suspended or
reduced by reason of Section 2.4 or by such Borrower's inability to satisfy any
condition of Article VII) commencing on the Effective Date and continuing
through the applicable Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date, a commitment
fee in an amount equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Margin, in each case on
such Lender's Percentage under such Facility of the sum of the average daily
unused portion of the applicable Commitment Amount (net of Letter of Credit
Outstandings, in the case of each Revolving Loan Commitment Amount); provided,
that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the
UK Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any such commitment fee that has
accrued in respect of the US Revolving Loan Facility and the US Borrower and the
UK Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable for the commitment fees
payable in respect of the UK Facility. All commitment fees payable pursuant to
this Section shall be calculated on a year comprised of 360 days and payable by
the Borrowers in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, commencing with the
first Quarterly Payment Date following the Effective Date, and on the applicable
Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date. The making of US Swing Line Loans
shall not constitute usage of a Revolving Loan Commitment with respect to the
calculation of commitment fees to be paid by the Borrowers to the Lenders.

        SECTION 5.3.2 US Agent's Fees. (a) Each Borrower severally and not
jointly agrees (but without limiting the obligation of the US Borrower under the
US Borrower Guaranty) to pay to the US Agent under its respective Facility, for
the US Agent's own account, the fees in the amounts and on the dates set forth
in the Fee Letter and the Amendment and Restatement Fee Letter (to the extent
such Borrower is obligated to pay such fee thereunder).

        (b) Letter of Credit Fees. Each Borrower agrees to pay to the applicable
Issuer, for the pro rata account of such Issuer under the applicable Facility
and each other Lender that has a

                                       71
<PAGE>

Revolving Loan Commitment under such Facility, a Letter of Credit fee in an
amount equal to the then Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans maintained as
LIBO Rate Loans, multiplied by the Stated Amount of each such Letter of Credit,
such fees being payable on the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit (for
the period from the date of issuance to the earlier of the expiration date of
the applicable Letter of Credit and the immediately succeeding Quarterly Payment
Date) and after such Quarterly Payment Date quarterly in arrears on each
subsequent Quarterly Payment Date; provided, that notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Agreement, the UK Borrower shall not be obligated
to pay any such fees that have accrued in respect of Letters of Credit issued
under the US Credit Facilities and the US Borrower and the UK Borrower shall be
jointly and severally liable for the Letter of Credit fees payable in respect of
the UK Facility. Each Borrower severally and not jointly (but limiting the
obligation of the US Borrower under the US Borrower Guaranty) further agrees to
pay to the applicable Issuer under such Facility on the date of issuance of each
Letter of Credit (for the period from the date of issuance to the earlier of the
expiration date of the applicable Letter of Credit and the immediately
succeeding Quarterly Payment Date, and after such Quarterly Payment Date
quarterly in arrears on each subsequent Quarterly Payment Date) an issuance fee
as specified in the Fee Letter (to the extent such Borrower is obligated to pay
such fee thereunder). Such issuance fee shall be paid to the UK Issuer and the
US Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit under the UK Credit Facilities and
the US Credit Facilities, respectively.

        SECTION 5.3.3 Amendment and Restatement Fee. Each of the US Borrower and
the UK Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent under its respective Facility for the
account of each Lender under such Facility consenting to the amendment and
restatement effected by this Agreement on or before November 13, 2001 an
amendment and restatement fee equal to .25% of the Commitment Amount (before
giving effect to any Incremental US Term B Loan Commitments) of such Lender (the
"Amendment Fee"). Such fee shall be fully earned and nonrefundable as provided
in Section 12.8. Each Borrower shall pay the Amendment Fee to the applicable
Agent as provided in Section 12.8 for the benefit of such consenting Lenders.

                                  ARTICLE VI.

                     CERTAIN LIBO RATE AND OTHER PROVISIONS

        SECTION 6.1. LIBO Rate Lending Unlawful. This Section 6.1 applies only
to US Loans. If any Lender shall determine (which determination shall, upon
notice thereof to the applicable Borrower and the Lenders, be conclusive and
binding on such Borrower) that the introduction of or any change in or in the
interpretation of any law makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other
governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender to make,
continue or maintain any Loan as, or to convert any Loan into, a LIBO Rate Loan,
the obligations of such Lender to make, continue, maintain or convert any Loans
as LIBO Rate Loans shall, upon such determination, forthwith be suspended until
such Lender shall notify the applicable Agent that the circumstances causing
such suspension no longer exist (with the date of such notice being the
"Reinstatement Date"), and (i) all US LIBO Rate Loans previously made by such
Lender shall automatically convert into US Base Rate Loans at the end of the
then current Interest Periods with respect thereto or sooner, if required by
such law or assertion and (ii) all US Loans thereafter made by such Lender and
outstanding prior to the Reinstatement Date shall be made as US Base Rate Loans,
with interest thereon being payable on the same date

                                       72
<PAGE>

that interest is payable with respect to corresponding Borrowing of LIBO Rate
Loans made by Lenders not so affected.

        SECTION 6.2. Deposits Unavailable. This Section 6.2 applies only to US
Loans. If prior to the commencement of an Interest Period,

        (a) the applicable Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the
LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the
cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such
Borrowing for such Interest Period, or

        (b) the applicable Agent shall have determined that Dollar deposits in
the relevant amount and for the relevant Interest Period are not available to it
in its relevant market or by reason of circumstances affecting such Agent's
relevant market, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate
applicable hereunder to LIBO Rate Loans,

        then, upon notice from such Agent to the applicable Borrower and the
applicable Lenders, the obligations to such Borrower of all Lenders to make or
continue any Loans as, or to convert any Loans into, LIBO Rate Loans shall
forthwith be suspended until the applicable Agent shall notify such Borrower and
the applicable Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer
exist.

        SECTION 6.3. Increased Loan Costs, etc. (a) The US Borrower agrees to
reimburse each US Lender for any increase in the cost to such Lender of, or any
reduction in the amount of any sum receivable by such Lender in respect of,
making, continuing or maintaining (or of its obligation to make, continue or
maintain) any Loans as, or of converting (or of its obligation to convert) any
Loans into, LIBO Rate Loans that arise in connection with any change in, or the
introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation, reinterpretation or
phase-in after the Effective Date of, any law or regulation, directive,
guideline, decision or request (whether or not having the force of law) of any
court, central bank, regulator or other governmental authority, except for such
changes with respect to increased capital costs and taxes which are governed by
Sections 6.5 and 6.6, respectively. Such Lender shall promptly notify the US
Agent and the US Borrower in writing of the occurrence of any such event, such
notice to state, in reasonable detail, the reasons therefor and the additional
amount required to compensate fully such Lender for such increased cost or
reduced amount. Such additional amounts shall be payable by the US Borrower
directly to such Lender within five days of its receipt of such notice, and such
notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the
Borrowers.

        (c) The UK Borrower agrees to reimburse each UK Lender for any increase
in the cost to such UK Lender of, or any reduction in the amount of any sum
receivable by such UK Lender in respect of, making, continuing or maintaining
(or of its obligation to make, continue or maintain) any UK Loans to the UK
Borrower as, or of converting (or of its obligation to convert) any UK Loans
into, LIBO Rate Loans that arise in connection with any change in, or the
introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation, reinterpretation or
phase-in after the Effective Date of, any law or regulation, directive,
guideline, decision or request (whether or not having the force of law) of any
court, central bank, regulator or other governmental authority, except for such
changes with respect to increased capital costs and taxes which are governed by
Sections 6.5 and 6.6, respectively. Such UK Lender shall promptly notify the UK
Agent and the

                                       73
<PAGE>

UK Borrower in writing of the occurrence of any such event, such notice to
state, in reasonable detail, the reasons therefor and the additional amount
required fully to compensate such UK Lender for such increased cost or reduced
amount. Such additional amounts shall be payable by the UK Borrower directly to
such UK Lender within five days of its receipt of such notice, and such notice
shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the
Borrowers.

        SECTION 6.4. Funding Losses. In the event any Lender shall incur any
loss or expense (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the
liquidation or re-employment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender
to make, continue or maintain any portion of the principal amount of any Loan
as, or to convert any portion of the principal amount of any Loan into, a LIBO
Rate Loan) as a result of

        (a) any conversion or repayment or prepayment of the principal amount of
any LIBO Rate Loans on a date other than the scheduled last day of the Interest
Period applicable thereto, whether pursuant to Section 5.1, Section 6.10 or
otherwise;

        (b) any Loans not being made as LIBO Rate Loans, in each case in
accordance with the Borrowing Request therefor; or

        (c) any Loans not being continued as, or converted into, LIBO Rate
Loans, in each case in accordance with the US Continuation/Conversion Notice
therefor,

        then, upon the written notice of such Lender to the applicable Borrower
(with a copy to the applicable Agent), such Borrower shall, within five days of
its receipt thereof, pay directly to such Lender such amount as will (in the
reasonable determination of such Lender) reimburse such Lender for such loss or
expense (excluding lost profits). Such written notice (which shall include
calculations in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be
conclusive and binding on such Borrower.

        SECTION 6.5. Increased Capital Costs. If any change in, or the
introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation, reinterpretation or
phase-in of, any law or regulation, directive, guideline, decision or request
(whether or not having the force of law) of any court, central bank, regulator
or other governmental authority affects or would affect the amount of capital
required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or any Person controlling
such Lender, and such Lender determines (in good faith but in its sole and
absolute discretion) that the rate of return on its or such controlling Person's
capital as a consequence of the Commitments, or the Letters of Credit
participated in, by such Lender is reduced to a level below that which such
Lender or such controlling Person could have achieved but for the occurrence of
any such circumstance, then, in any such case upon notice from time to time by
such Lender to the applicable Borrower, such Borrower shall immediately pay
directly to such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender
or such controlling Person for such reduction in rate of return; provided,
however, that such Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such Lender or such
controlling Person any compensation attributable to any period prior to the date
that is 180 days prior to the date on which such Lender gave notice to the
applicable Borrower of the circumstances entitling such Lender to compensation.
A statement of such Lender as to any such additional amount or amounts
(including calculations thereof in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of
manifest error, be conclusive and binding on such Borrower. In determining such

                                       74
<PAGE>

amount, such Lender may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (in
its sole and absolute discretion) shall deem applicable.

        SECTION 6.6. Taxes. (a) Unless otherwise required by applicable law, all
payments made by the Borrowers under this Agreement shall be made free and clear
of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes. In the event that any
withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by any Borrower hereunder
is required in respect of any Indemnified Taxes pursuant to any applicable law,
rule or regulation, then such Borrower will

                (i) pay directly to the relevant Governmental Authority the full
        amount required to be so withheld or deducted;

                (ii) promptly forward to the applicable Agent documentation
        reasonably satisfactory to such Agent evidencing such payment to such
        Governmental Authority; and

                (iii) pay to the applicable Agent for the account of the Lenders
        such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net
        amount actually received by each Lender will equal the full amount such
        Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction been
        required, provided, however, that such Borrower shall not be required to
        increase any such amounts payable to any Lender if such Lender fails to
        comply with the requirements of Section 6.6(d) hereof.

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

        (c) The Borrowers shall indemnify the Agents, and each Lender, within 10
days after written demand thereof, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes
and Other Taxes paid by such Agent, or such Lender, as the case may be, on or
with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of either
Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed or
asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 6.6) and any
penalties or interest arising therefrom or with respect thereto.

        (d) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of
withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which any Borrower is
located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to
payments under this Agreement shall deliver to such Borrower (with a copy to the
applicable Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such
properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or
reasonably requested by such Borrower as will permit such payments to be made
without withholding or at a reduced rate. Such documentation shall be delivered
by each Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement. In
addition, each Lender shall deliver such documentation promptly upon the
obsolescence or invalidity of any documentation previously delivered by such
Lender. Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines
that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered
documentation.

                (i) Each UK Lender and the UK Agent hereby severally (but not
        jointly) represents that, under applicable law and treaties in effect as
        of the Closing Date in the case of the original signatories to this
        Agreement and in effect as of the date of the

                                       75
<PAGE>

        assignment or other transfer to or the appointment of a Person that
        subsequently thereby becomes a UK Lender or the UK Agent, it is a
        Qualifying UK Bank.

                (ii) Each US Lender and the US Agent hereby severally (but not
        jointly) represents that, under applicable law and treaties in effect as
        of the Closing Date in the case of the original signatories to this
        Agreement and in effect as of the date of the assignment or other
        transfer to or for the appointment of a Person that subsequently thereby
        becomes a US Lender or the US Agent, no US federal taxes will be
        required to be deducted or withheld by the US Agent or the US Borrower
        with respect to any payments to be made by such Person in respect of
        this Agreement.

                (iii) If, as a result of a Law Change, the applicable Agent or
        any Lender (i) is unable to furnish a Borrower with a form otherwise
        required to be delivered by it pursuant to this Section 6.6 or (ii)
        makes any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, or becomes liable
        to make any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, with respect to
        payments by a Borrower hereunder, such Borrower's continuing obligation
        to make payments to the applicable Agent or such Lender under the terms
        of clause (a) shall be conditioned on the applicable Agent or such
        Lender, as the case may be, prior to the time that the next payment
        under the Notes is due following such Law Change (and thereafter as is
        required by applicable law), having furnished such Borrower with any
        necessary certificate and having taken such other steps as may be
        commercially reasonably available to it under applicable tax laws and
        any applicable tax treaty or convention to obtain an exemption from, or
        reduction (to the lowest applicable rate) of, such Taxes.

In relation to any exemption from the rate of tax of general application
pursuant to any double taxation treaty, any Qualifying UK Bank which is not
resident in the United Kingdom shall furnish the UK Borrower with a certificate
of residence issued by the pertinent fiscal administration (a "Residency
Certificate") accrediting such Qualifying UK Bank as resident for tax purposes
in a state which has signed and ratified a double taxation treaty with the
United Kingdom which treaty provides under its terms for full relief from the
income tax on the United Kingdom source interest. If any UK Lender (i) is not,
or ceases to be, a Qualifying UK Bank otherwise than as a consequence of a Law
Change or (ii) fails to furnish the UK Borrower with a Residency Certificate
pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, then the UK Borrower shall not
be obliged to pay to that UK Lender (x) any additional amounts described in
Section 6.6(a) hereof or (y) any amounts in respect of Indemnified Taxes
pursuant to Section 6.6(c) hereof.

        (e) If any Agent or any Lender receives a refund in respect of
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by a Borrower, such Agent or Lender shall
promptly pay such refund, together with any other amounts paid by such Borrower
pursuant to clause (a) in connection with such refunded Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes, to such Borrower, provided, however, that such Borrower agrees to
promptly return such refund to the applicable Agent or the applicable Lender, as
the case may be, after it receives notice from the applicable Lender that such
Lender is required to repay such refund.

                                       76
<PAGE>

        (f) The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.

        SECTION 6.7. Payments, Computations, etc. Unless otherwise expressly
provided, all payments by any Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, the Notes,
each Letter of Credit or any other Loan Document shall be made by such Borrower
to the applicable Agent (or, in the case of amounts received as a result of the
exercise of remedies, by such Agent to the applicable Secured Parties), in each
case, for the pro rata account of the applicable Secured Parties entitled to
receive such payments. All such payments required to be made to the applicable
Agent shall be made, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim, not later than
2:00 p.m. (Local Time) on the date due, in same day or immediately available
funds, to such account as the applicable Agent shall specify from time to time
by notice to such Borrower. Funds received after that time shall be deemed to
have been received by the applicable Agent on the next succeeding Business Day.
The applicable Agent shall promptly remit in same day funds to each applicable
Secured Party its share, if any, of such payments received by the applicable
Agent for the account of such Secured Party. All interest (including interest on
LIBO Rate Loans) and fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of
days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring during the
period for which such interest or fee is payable over a year comprised of 360
days (or, in the case of interest on a US Base Rate Loan (calculated at other
than the Federal Funds Rate), 365 days or, if appropriate, 366 days). Whenever
any payment to be made shall otherwise be due on a day which is not a Business
Day, such payment shall (except as otherwise required by clause (e) of the
definition of the term "Interest Period") be made on the next succeeding
Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest
and fees, if any, in connection with such payment. All payments under the US
Facilities shall be made in Dollars. All payments under the UK Facilities shall
be made in UKpound sterling.

        SECTION 6.8. Sharing of Payments. If any Lender shall obtain any payment
or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of setoff or
otherwise) on account of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation (other than
pursuant to the terms of Section 6.2, 6.3, 6.5 or 6.6) in excess of its pro rata
share of payments then or therewith obtained by all Lenders making Loans under
the same Facility, such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such
participation's in Credit Extensions made by them as shall be necessary to cause
such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably
with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of the excess
payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender,
the purchase shall be rescinded and each Lender which has sold a participation
to the purchasing Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price
to the ratable extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such
selling Lender's ratable share (according to the proportion of

        (a) the amount of such selling Lender's required repayment to the
purchasing Lender

to

        (b) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender)

                                       77
<PAGE>

of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in
respect of the total amount so recovered. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender
so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section may,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment
(including pursuant to Section 6.8) with respect to such participation as fully
as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of
such participation. If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other
similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which
this Section applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its
rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights
of the Lenders entitled under this Section to share in the benefits of any
recovery on such secured claim.

        SECTION 6.9. Setoff. Each Lender may, WITH THE CONSENT OF THE US AGENT,
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default described in
Section 10.1.9 with respect to a Borrower or any Significant Subsidiary or, WITH
THE CONSENT OF THE US AGENT AND THE REQUIRED LENDERS, upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of any other Event of Default, have the right to
appropriate and apply to the payment of the Obligations owing to it (whether or
not then due), and (as security for such Obligations) each Borrower hereby
grants to each Lender a continuing security interest in, any and all balances,
credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of such Borrower then or thereafter
maintained with such Lender; provided, however, that (a) any such appropriation
and application shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6.8 and (b) each
Lender will cooperate with the US Agent in taking any such reasonable actions as
may be necessary to minimize any adverse effect of Sections 580 and 726 of the
California Code of Civil Procedure. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify such
Borrower and the applicable Agent after any such setoff and application made by
such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not
affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Lender
under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other
rights of setoff under applicable law or otherwise) which such Lender may have.

        SECTION 6.10. Lender's Duty to Mitigate. Each Lender agrees that as
promptly as practicable after it becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or
the existence of a condition that would cause it to be affected under Section
6.1, 6.5 or 6.6 or that would entitle such Lender to receive payments under
Section 6.3, such Lender will give notice thereof to the applicable Borrower
and, to the extent not inconsistent with such Lender's internal policies (or,
even if inconsistent with such internal policies, if at such time or at a time
reasonably near to such time such Lender has taken action similar to the action
contemplated by this Section for the benefit of substantially all of its other
similarly situated commercial borrowers), such Lender shall use all commercially
reasonable efforts to make, fund or maintain its affected LIBO Rate Loans
through another lending office of such Lender, or assign its rights and
obligations hereunder to another of its branches or Affiliates, if, as a result
thereof, the additional moneys which would otherwise be required to be paid to
such Lender pursuant to Section 6.3, 6.5 or 6.6, as the case may be, would be
materially reduced, or the illegality or other adverse circumstances which would
otherwise require a conversion of such Loans pursuant to Section 6.1 would cease
to exist, and if, as determined by such Lender in its reasonable discretion, the
making, funding or maintaining of such Loans through such other lending office
would not otherwise materially adversely affect such Loans or such Lender.

                                       78
<PAGE>

        SECTION 6.11. Replacement of Lenders. Each Lender hereby severally
agrees as set forth in this Section.

        (a) If any Lender (a "Subject Lender") makes demand upon a Borrower for
(or if a Borrower is otherwise required to pay) amounts pursuant to Section 6.3,
6.5 or 6.6, or gives notice pursuant to Section 6.1 requiring a conversion of
such Subject Lender's US LIBO Rate Loans to US Base Rate Loans, the applicable
Borrower may, within 90 days of receipt by such Borrower of such demand or
notice (or the occurrence of such other event causing such Borrower to be
required to pay such compensation), as the case may be, give notice (a
"Replacement Notice") in writing to the applicable Agent and such Subject Lender
of its intention to replace such Subject Lender (both as a US Lender and, if
applicable, as a UK Lender) with a financial institution designated in such
Replacement Notice. If the applicable Agent shall, in the exercise of its
reasonable discretion and within 10 days of its receipt of such Replacement
Notice, notify such Borrower and such Subject Lender in writing that the
designated financial institution is satisfactory to the applicable Agent, then
such Subject Lender shall, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing (and subject to the payment of any amounts due
pursuant to Section 6.3), assign, in accordance with Section 12.11.1, all of its
Commitments, Loans, Notes and other rights and obligations under this Agreement
and all other Loan Documents (including Reimbursement Obligations, but excluding
such Lender's rights and obligations under any Rate Protection Agreements) to
such designated financial institution; provided, however, that (i) such
assignment shall be without recourse, representation or warranty (other than
that such Lender owns the Commitments, Loans and Notes being assigned, free and
clear of any Liens) and shall be on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory
to such Subject Lender and such designated financial institution and (ii) the
purchase price paid by such designated financial institution shall be in the
amount of such Subject Lender's Loans and its Percentage of outstanding
Reimbursement Obligations, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and
fees in respect thereof, plus all other amounts (including the amounts demanded
and unreimbursed under Sections 6.3, 6.5 and 6.6), owing to such Subject Lender
hereunder. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment if, prior
thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances
entitling such Borrower to require such assignment cease to apply.

        (b) Upon the effective date of an assignment described in clause (a) ,
the applicable Borrower shall issue a replacement Note or Notes, as the case may
be, to such designated financial institution or Replacement Lender, as
applicable, and such institution shall become a "Lender" for all purposes under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In the case of clause (a), the
applicable Agent agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts to assist
such Borrower in locating a replacement financial institution to replace any
Subject Lender; provided, however, that such Agent shall have no obligation to
become a Replacement Lender; provided, further, however, that such Borrower
agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the applicable Agent
in providing such assistance.

        SECTION 6.12. Provisions Relating to UK Loans. The provisions of
Schedule V are hereby incorporated herein by reference.

        representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material
        respects as of such earlier date); and

                (ii) no Default shall have then occurred and be continuing.

                                 ARTICLE VIII.

        In order to induce the Lenders, the Issuers and the Agents to enter into
this Agreement and to make Credit Extensions hereunder, each of the US Borrower
and the UK Borrower represents and warrants unto the Agents, the Issuers and
each Lender as set forth in this Article VIII.

        SECTION 8.1. Organization, etc. Each of the US Borrower and its
Subsidiaries, if any, (a) is validly organized and existing and in good standing
under the laws of the State of its

                                       89
<PAGE>

organization, is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a
foreign corporation or other organization in each jurisdiction where the nature
of its business requires such qualification, except to the extent that the
failure to qualify would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect, and (b) has full power and authority and holds all requisite
governmental licenses, permits and other approvals to (i) enter into and perform
its Obligations in connection with the Transaction and under this Agreement, the
Notes and each other Loan Document to which it is a party and (ii) own and hold
under lease its property and to conduct its business substantially as currently
conducted by it except, in the case of this clause (b)(ii), where the failure
could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

        SECTION 8.2. Due Authorization, Non-Contravention, etc. The execution,
delivery and performance by the Borrowers of this Agreement, the Notes and each
other Loan Document executed or to be executed by it, and the execution,
delivery and performance by each other Obligor of each Loan Document executed or
to be executed by it and the Borrowers' and, where applicable, each such other
Obligor's participation in the consummation of the Transaction are within the
Borrowers' and each such Obligor's corporate powers, have been duly authorized
by all necessary corporate or other organizational action, and do not

        (a) contravene the Borrowers' or any such Obligor's Organic Documents;

        (b) contravene any contractual restriction, law or governmental
regulation or court decree or order binding on or affecting the Borrowers or any
such Obligor, where such contravention, individually or in the aggregate, could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or contravene sections
151 to 158 of the Companies Act 1985 of Great Britain; or

        (c) result in, or require the creation or imposition of, any Lien on any
of the Borrowers' or any other Obligor's properties, except pursuant to the
terms of a Loan Document.

        SECTION 8.3. Government Approval, Regulation, etc. The Borrowers have,
to the extent required by law, received or complied with every necessary
consent, approval, order, authorization, registration or prior notice
requirement of, any governmental authority, regulatory body or other Person
having jurisdiction with respect to the execution, delivery, validity and
enforceability of this Agreement or related transactions to which the Borrowers
are a party (other than security filings necessary to protect the Liens of the
Agents). None of the actions of the Borrowers which are to be completed by or in
connection with this Agreement or related transactions will result in or cause
the revocation of or failure to receive any future governmental consent,
approval, order, authorization or registration required to conduct the business
of the applicable Borrower. Neither the US Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries
is an "investment company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended, or a "holding company", or a "subsidiary company" of a
"holding company", or an "affiliate" of a "holding company" or of a "subsidiary
company" of a "holding company", within the meaning of the Public Utility
Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended.

        SECTION 8.4. Validity, etc. This Agreement constitutes, and the Notes
and each other Loan Document executed by the Borrowers will, on the due
execution and delivery thereof, constitute, the legal, valid and binding
obligations of the Borrowers enforceable in accordance with their respective
terms; and each Loan Document executed pursuant hereto by each other

                                       90
<PAGE>

Obligor will, on the due execution and delivery thereof by such Obligor, be the
legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable in accordance
with its terms, in each case with respect to this Section 8.4 subject to the
effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization,
moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights
generally, general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law) and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

        SECTION 8.5. Financial Information.

        (a) The (i) consolidated audited balance sheets of the US Borrower and
its Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2000 and the related consolidated statements
of earnings and cash flow of the US Borrower and its Subsidiaries; and (ii)
consolidated unaudited interim balance sheet of the US Borrower and its
Subsidiaries as of the period ended June 30, 2001, and the related consolidated
statement of income of the US Borrower and its Subsidiaries, copies of which
have been furnished to the Agents and each Lender, have, in each case, been
prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied (in the case of clause
(i)) and, in the case of clause (ii), on a basis substantially comparable to the
basis used to prepare the financial statements referred to in clause (i), and
present fairly the consolidated financial condition of the US Borrower and its
Subsidiaries covered thereby as at the dates thereof and the results of their
operations for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of clause (ii), to
normal year end audit adjustments, the absence of footnote disclosure and the
items set forth on Item 8.5 of the Disclosure Schedule.

        (b) Except as set forth in Item 8.5 of the Disclosure Schedule, since
December 31, 1999, there has been no material adverse change in the business,
assets, financial condition, operations or prospects of the US Borrower and its
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

        SECTION 8.6. Litigation, Labor Controversies, etc. There is no pending
or, to the knowledge of the Borrowers, threatened litigation, action,
proceeding, labor controversy, arbitration or governmental investigation
affecting any Obligor, or any of their respective properties, businesses, assets
or revenues, which (a) could reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect, or (b) purports to affect the legality, validity or
enforceability of the Acquisitions, the Raven Acquisition, the Merger, the
Subordinated Debt, this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document.

        SECTION 8.7. Subsidiaries. Neither of the Borrowers have any
Subsidiaries, except those Subsidiaries

        (a) which are identified in Item 8.7 ("Existing Subsidiaries") of the
Disclosure Schedule; or

        (b) which are otherwise created or acquired in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement.

        SECTION 8.8. Ownership of Properties. The US Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries owns good title to, or has a valid leasehold interest in, all of
its properties and assets (other than insignificant properties and assets), real
and personal, tangible and intangible, of any nature whatsoever (including
patents, trademarks, trade names, service marks and copyrights),

                                       91
<PAGE>

free and clear of all Liens or material claims (including material infringement
claims with respect to patents, trademarks, copyrights and the like) except as
disclosed in Item 8.8 of the Disclosure Schedule or as permitted pursuant to
Section 9.2.3 or the Loan Documents.

        SECTION 8.9. Taxes. The US Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has
filed all material Federal, State, foreign and other tax returns and reports
required by law to have been filed by it and all such returns were complete and
correct in all material respects, and has paid all taxes and governmental
charges (in excess of $100,000) due and payable, except any such taxes or
charges which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and
for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP shall have been set aside on
its books.

        SECTION 8.10. Pension and Welfare Plans. During the six-year period
prior to the date of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to
the date of any Credit Extension hereunder, no Pension Plan has been terminated
and neither the Borrowers nor any member of the Controlled Group has incurred a
withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan that, in each case, has resulted in a
liability to the Borrowers of more than $1,000,000 which remains outstanding as
of the Effective Date and any Credit Extension hereunder, and no contribution
failure has occurred with respect to any Pension Plan sufficient to give rise to
a Lien under section 302(f) of ERISA or Section 4.12(n) of the Code in excess of
$1,000,000 which remains outstanding as of the Effective Date and any Credit
Extension hereunder. No condition exists or event or transaction has occurred
with respect to any Pension Plan or, to the knowledge of the Borrowers, any
Multiemployer Plan which could reasonably be expected to result in the
incurrence by the Borrowers of any material liability, fine or penalty other
than such condition, event or transaction which would not reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as disclosed in Item 8.10 ("Employee
Benefit Plans") of the Disclosure Schedule, since the date of the latest
financial statement of the Borrowers, as of the Closing Date, the Borrowers have
not materially increased any contingent liability with respect to any
post-retirement benefit under a Welfare Plan, other than liability for
continuation coverage described in Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA.

        SECTION 8.11. Environmental Warranties. Except as set forth in Item 8.11
("Environmental Matters") of the Disclosure Schedule or as, individually or in
the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect:

owned or leased by the US Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries have been, and
continue to be, owned or leased by the US Borrower and its Subsidiaries in
compliance with all Environmental Laws;

        (b) there are no pending or threatened

                (i) written claims, complaints, notices or requests for
        information received by the US Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries with
        respect to any alleged violation of any Environmental Law, or

                (ii) written complaints, notices or inquiries to the US Borrower
        or any of its Subsidiaries regarding potential liability under any
        Environmental Law;

                                       92
<PAGE>

        (c) there have been no Releases of Hazardous Materials at, on or under
any Real Property now or previously owned or leased by the US Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries;

        (d) the US Borrower and its Subsidiaries have been issued and are in
compliance with all permits, certificates, approvals, licenses and other
authorizations relating to environmental matters that are necessary for their
businesses;

        (e) no Real Property now or previously owned or leased by the US
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is listed or proposed for listing (with
respect to owned property only) on the National Priorities List pursuant to
CERCLA, on the CERCLIS or on any similar state list;

        (f) there are no underground storage tanks, active or abandoned,
including petroleum storage tanks, on or under any real property now or
previously owned or leased by the US Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries;

        (g) the US Borrower and its Subsidiaries have not directly transported
or directly arranged for the transportation of any Hazardous Material to any
location (i) which is listed or to the knowledge of the US Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries, proposed for listing on the National Priorities List pursuant
to CERCLA, on the CERCLIS or on any similar state list, or (ii) which is the
subject of federal, state or local environmental enforcement actions or other
environmental investigations;

        (h) there are no polychlorinated biphenyls or friable asbestos present
in a manner or condition at any real property now or previously owned or leased
by the US Borrower or any Subsidiary of the US Borrower; and

        (i) no conditions exist at, on or under any real property now or
previously owned or leased by the US Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which,
with the passage of time, or the giving of notice or both, would give rise to
liability under any Environmental Law.

        SECTION 8.12. Regulations U and X. Neither of the Borrowers are engaged
in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying
margin stock, and no proceeds of any Credit Extensions will be used to acquire
any equity security of a class which is registered pursuant to Section 12 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any "margin stock". Terms for which meanings
are provided in F.R.S. Board Regulation U or X or any regulations substituted
therefor, as from time to time in effect, are used in this Section with such
meanings.

        SECTION 8.13. Accuracy of Information. All written information, reports,
financial statements, exhibits and schedules furnished after the Closing Date by
or on behalf the Borrowers in writing to the Agents, the Issuers or any Lender
pursuant to this Agreement will not contain any material misstatement of fact or
omit to state any material fact necessary to make such information not
misleading in any material respect.

        All projections furnished to the Agents, the Issuers or any Lender
(whether before or after the Effective Date) have been or will be prepared in
good faith on the basis of reasonable assumptions and represent or will
represent each Borrower's best estimate of its future performance, it being
understood that actual results may differ from projections and that such

                                       93
<PAGE>

projections are subject to significant contingencies, many of which are beyond
the control of the Borrowers.

        SECTION 8.14. Seniority of Obligations, etc. The US Borrower has the
power and authority to incur the Indebtedness evidenced by the 12% Subordinated
Notes and has duly authorized, executed and delivered the 12% Subordinated Notes
and the 2001 12% Subordinated Note Agreement. Once delivered by the US Borrower,
the 12% Subordinated Notes and any other Permitted Subordinated Debt will
constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the US Borrower,
enforceable against the US Borrower, in accordance with its terms, subject to
the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization,
moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights
generally, general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law) and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. The
subordination provisions of the 12% Subordinated Notes and any other Permitted
Subordinated Debt will be enforceable against the holders of the such
Subordinated Notes by the holder of the "Senior Indebtedness" or similar term
referring to the Obligations. All monetary Obligations, including those to pay
principal of and interest (including post-petition interest, whether or not
permitted as a claim) on the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, and fees and
expenses in connection therewith, constitute "Senior Indebtedness" or similar
term referring to the Obligations in each Subordinated Note, and all such
Obligations are entitled to the benefits of the subordination created by each
such Subordinated Note. The Borrowers acknowledge that the Agents and each
Lender are entering into this Agreement and are extending their Commitments in
reliance upon the subordination provisions of (or to be contained in) the
Subordinated Notes and this Section.

        SECTION 8.15. Solvency. The Transaction (including the incurrence of the
initial Credit Extension hereunder, the incurrence by the Borrowers of the
Indebtedness represented by the Notes and the application of the proceeds of the
Credit Extensions) will not involve or result in any intent to hinder, delay or
defraud any creditor, as such terms are used in Section 548 of the Bankruptcy
Code (11 U.S.C. Section 101 et seg., as from time to time hereafter amended, and
any successor or similar statute) or any applicable state law respecting
fraudulent transfers or fraudulent conveyances. After giving effect to the
Transaction, the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries are Solvent on a consolidated
basis.

        SECTION 8.16. Original Representations. The representations and
warranties set forth in the Original Credit Agreement were true and correct in
all material respects when made.

                                  ARTICLE IX.

        SECTION 9.1. Affirmative Covenants. The Borrowers agree with the Agents,

Borrowers will furnish, or will cause to be furnished, to each Lender, the

cause each of its Subsidiaries to, (a) comply in all material respects with all
applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders, except where the failure to so

by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves in accordance with
GAAP shall have been set aside on its books.

        SECTION 9.1.3 Maintenance of Properties and Contains. The US Borrower
will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain, preserve, protect

all-risk basis (including, war risk, loss in transit, flood and earthquake

accountants, and the Borrowers hereby authorize such independent public
accountants to discuss the Borrowers' financial matters with the Issuers and
each Lender or its representatives) and to examine, and photocopy extracts from,

Business Days in the case of the matters referred to below (other than in
respect of a Mortgage on a Premises) and 90 days in respect of the matters
referred to below relating to a Mortgage) cause such Subsidiary to execute and

Commercial Code (or under English law in the case of a UK Subsidiary), and any
other applicable recording statutes, in the case of Premises, in form for filing
or recording, as applicable, in all jurisdictions as may be necessary or, in the
reasonable opinion of such Agent, desirable to perfect or grant the security
interest of such Agent pursuant to a Subsidiary Security Agreement or a
Mortgage, as the case may be (which filings may be made at such time as such
Agent may deem appropriate under the circumstances); and

        (b) such Borrower shall promptly (and in any event within three Business
Days) deliver a supplement to its respective Pledge Agreement and deliver, or
cause to be delivered, to respective Agent under a Pledge Agreement (or a
supplement thereto) certificates (if any) representing all of the issued and

such Agent that appropriate

                                       98

book entries have been made in the relevant books or records of a financial
intermediary or the issuer of such securities, as the case may be, under
applicable law resulting in the perfection of the security interest granted in
favor of such Agent pursuant to the terms of a Pledge Agreement;

        in each case, with such opinions, in form and substance and from counsel
satisfactory to such Agent, as such Agent may reasonably require to be delivered
within 95 days thereafter (or such later number of days as such Agent may
approve) (but which opinions as to Mortgages shall consist of opinions as to the
power and authority to execute and deliver the Mortgage, the due authorization
of the execution and delivery of the Mortgage and the due execution and delivery
of such Mortgage and, in the case of any Mortgage on Premises having a value (as
determined by the US Borrower) in excess of $5,000,000 or on Premises located in
the State of California, the enforceability of such Mortgage); provided, that
notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Non-U.S. Subsidiary or MSG Investments
shall be required to execute and deliver a Mortgage, a Subsidiary Guaranty or a
supplement to the Subsidiary Guaranty or a Security Agreement or a supplement to
the Security Agreement, nor will the US Borrower or any Subsidiary of the US
Borrower be required to deliver in pledge pursuant to a Pledge Agreement in
excess of 65% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Capital Stock
of MSG Investments or a Non-U.S. Subsidiary entitled to vote except to the
extent such pledge in excess of such 65% could not reasonably be expected to
result in material tax liabilities for the US Borrower (as determined in good
faith by the US Borrower) at any time prior to June 30, 2006 and (ii) the
Luxembourg Subsidiary shall not be required to comply with the foregoing
provisions of this Section 9.1.7 except to the extent such compliance could not
be reasonably expected to result in material tax liabilities for the US Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries.

        The Borrowers shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to
complete the merger of Raven Hire Limited and certain of its Subsidiaries and
the UK Borrower with and into Freepeak Limited as soon as practicable and, in
any event, on or before May 13, 2002.

        SECTION 9.1.8 Future Leased Property and Future Acquisitions of Real
Property. (a) Prior to entering into any new lease of Real Property following
the Effective Date (including a renewal of any lease of Real Property entered
into following the Effective Date), the US Borrower shall, and shall cause each
of its Subsidiaries to, use its (and their) reasonable efforts (which shall not
require the incurrence of material costs, the expenditure of cash or material
amounts of time, or the making of any material concessions under the relevant
lease) to deliver to the Agents a waiver (which grants the Collateral Agent
access to the Collateral located on such Real Property, waives any Lien on such
Collateral in favor of the lessor of such Real Property and contains such other
usual and customary agreements of lessors as the US Agent may reasonably
request) executed by the lessor of any Real Property that is to be leased by the
US Borrower or such Subsidiary for a term in excess of one year in any state
which by statute grants such lessor a "landlord's" (or similar) Lien which is
superior to such Agent's Lien, to the extent the value of any personal property
of the US Borrower or its Subsidiaries to be held at such leased property
exceeds (or it is anticipated that the value of such personal property will, at
any point in time during the term of such leasehold term, exceed) $500,000. The
US Borrower shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, use such
reasonable efforts (which shall not require the incurrence of material costs,
the expenditure of cash or material amounts of time, or the making of any
material concessions under the relevant lease) to obtain such a waiver with
respect to all such leases in effect on the Effective Date.

                                       99
<PAGE>

        (b) The Borrowers shall, on or before 90 days after the Closing Date,
satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 7.1.23 as to any Designated
Mortgaged Property together with an opinion, with respect to all Mortgages, as
to the power and authority to execute and deliver the Mortgage, the due
authorization of the execution and delivery of the Mortgage and the due
execution and delivery of such Mortgage and, with respect to any Mortgage on
Premises located in the State of California, the enforceability of such
Mortgage). The Borrowers shall use reasonable efforts (which shall not require
the incurrence of material costs, the expenditure of cash or material amounts of
time or the making of any concessions under the relevant Hub Location Lease) to
obtain all necessary consents and approvals from the lessors under the Hub
Location Leases for the applicable Borrower or Subsidiary to execute a Mortgage
in respect of such Hub Location Leases in favor of the Collateral Agent, and the
applicable Borrower or applicable Subsidiary shall, with respect to any Hub
Location Lease for which such consent has been obtained, comply with the
provisions of this Section 9.1.8 with respect to such Hub Location Leases. In
addition, in the event that the US Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall
acquire any Premises having a value as determined in good faith by the
applicable Agent in excess of $1,000,000, the US Borrower or the applicable
Subsidiary shall, promptly after such acquisition, execute a Mortgage and
provide the Agents with

                (i) evidence of the completion (or satisfactory arrangements for
        the completion such as deposit of the Mortgages with an escrow or title
        company reasonably acceptable to the applicable Agent) of all recordings
        and filings of such Mortgage as may be necessary or, in the reasonable
        opinion of the applicable Agent, desirable to create a valid and
        enforceable first priority Lien, subject to Liens permitted by Section
        9.2.3, against the properties purported to be covered thereby; and

                (ii) loan or mortgagee's title insurance policies (the CLTA form
        or, if the CLTA form is not available, such other form as is reasonably
        acceptable to the applicable Agent) in favor of the applicable Agent and
        the Lenders in amounts and in form and substance and issued by insurers,
        reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Agent, with respect to the
        property purported to be covered by such Mortgage, insuring that the
        interests created by the Mortgage constitute valid and enforceable first
        Liens thereon free and clear of all Liens except as permitted by Section
        9.2.3, and such policies shall also include a revolving credit
        endorsement, if available, and such other endorsements as the applicable
        Agent shall request at a commercially reasonable price, and shall be
        accompanied by evidence of the payment in full of all premiums thereon.

        SECTION 9.1.9 Use of Proceeds, etc. The Borrowers shall apply the
proceeds of the Credit Extensions:

                (i) to pay Transaction expenses, the purchase price for the
        Acquisitions (excluding the UK Acquisitions until the UK Lien Date, but
        including any amount paid pursuant to clause (iii) below) and the cost
        of redemption or repurchase of shares of preferred stock of the US
        Borrower; provided, however, that (x) only up to $30,000,000 of the
        Revolving Loans may be used for such purpose (exclusive of amounts used
        for the Action Acquisition), (y) the aggregate Transaction expenses
        shall not exceed $9,000,000 and (z) the aggregate purchase price for the
        Acquisitions (including amounts paid

                                      100
<PAGE>

        pursuant to clause (iii) below) plus the Transaction expenses shall not
        exceed $250,000,000;

                (ii) for working capital and general corporate purposes of the
        US Borrower and its Subsidiaries;

                (iv) to redeem or repurchase preferred Capital Stock of the US
        Borrower pursuant to clause (c)(ii)(6) of Section 9.2.6.

The Borrowers shall apply the proceeds of the Incremental US Term B Loans to
repay the existing US Revolving Loans.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, until the UK Lien Date, the UK Borrower shall use
proceeds of the UK Revolving Loans for working capital purposes and shall not,
in any event, use or permit the use of any of the UK Loans in such a manner as
to constitute financial assistance (as defined in Section 152 Companies Act 1985
of Great Britain).

        SECTION 9.1.10 Hedging Obligations. Within 90 days after the Closing
Date, the Borrowers shall enter into interest rate swap, cap, collar or similar
arrangements designed to protect the Borrowers against fluctuations in the LIBO
Rate reasonably satisfactory to the Agents relating to a notional amount of at
least $25,000,000.

        SECTION 9.1.11 US Borrower UK Pledge Agreement. The UK Borrower
covenants and agrees that, in its capacity as a Pledged Share Issuer under (and
as defined in) the US Borrower UK Pledge Agreement, it will cooperate in all
reasonable respects necessary to enable the US Agent to exercise its rights and
remedies under the terms of the US Borrower UK Pledge Agreement and agrees to
comply with any obligations applicable to the UK Borrower under the US Borrower
UK Pledge Agreement.

        SECTION 9.1.12 Intentionally Omitted.

        SECTION 9.2. Negative Covenants. The Borrowers agree with the Agents,
the Issuers and each Lender that, until all Commitments have terminated and all
Credit Extensions have been paid in full, the Borrowers will perform the
obligations set forth in this Section 9.2.

        SECTION 9.2.1 Business Activities. The US Borrower will not, and will
not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, engage in any business activity, except
business activities of the nature or type in which the US Borrower and its
Subsidiaries are engaged on the Closing Date (after giving effect to the
Acquisitions) and such activities as may be reasonably incidental thereto.

        SECTION 9.2.2 Indebtedness. The US Borrower will not, and will not
permit any of its Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist or
otherwise become or be liable in respect of any Indebtedness, other than,

        SECTION 11.1. Actions. Each Lender hereby appoints Scotiabank as the US
Agent, the UK Agent and the Collateral Agent, respectively, and authorizes the
Agents to appoint from time to time on behalf of all Lenders one or more
Co-Agents under and for purposes of this Agreement, the Notes and each other
Loan Document. Each Lender authorizes the Agents to act on behalf of such Lender
under this Agreement, the Notes and each other Loan Document and, in the absence
of other written instructions from the Required Lenders received from time to
time by the Agents (with respect to which the Agents agree that they will
comply, except as otherwise provided in this Section or as otherwise advised by
counsel), to exercise such powers hereunder and thereunder as are specifically
delegated to or required of Agents by the terms hereof and thereof, together
with such powers as may be reasonably incidental thereto. Each Lender hereby
indemnifies (which indemnity shall survive any termination of this Agreement)
the Agents, ratably in accordance with their respective Term Loans outstanding
and Commitments (or, if no Term Loans or Commitments are at the time outstanding
and in effect, then ratably in accordance with the principal amount of Term
Loans held by such Lender, and their respective Commitments as in effect in each
case on the date of the termination of this Agreement), from and against any and
all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses of any
kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or
asserted against, the Agents in any way relating to or arising out of this
Agreement, the Notes and any other Loan Document, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, and as to which the Agents are not reimbursed by the Borrowers
or any other Obligor (and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers or
any other Obligor to do so); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable
for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, claims, costs or expenses which are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final proceeding to have resulted solely from the Agents'
gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Agents shall not be required to take
any action hereunder, under the Notes or under any other Loan Document, or to
prosecute or defend any suit in respect of this Agreement, the Notes or any
other Loan Document, unless it is indemnified hereunder to its satisfaction. If
any indemnity in favor of the Agents shall be or become, in the Agents'
determination, inadequate, the Agents may call for

against hereunder until such additional indemnity is given.

        SECTION 11.2. Funding Reliance, etc. Unless the applicable Agent shall
have been notified by telephone, confirmed in writing, by any Lender by 5:00
p.m., Local Time, on the day prior to a Borrowing that such Lender will not make
available the amount which would constitute its Percentage of such Borrowing on
the date specified therefor, such Agent may assume that such Lender has made
such amount available to such Agent and, in reliance upon such assumption, make
available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. If and to the
extent that such Lender shall not have made such amount available to such Agent,
such Lender severally agrees and such Borrower agrees to repay such Agent
forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon,
for each day from the date such Agent made such amount available to such
Borrower to the date such amount is repaid to such Agent, at the interest rate
applicable at the time to Loans comprising such Borrowing.

        SECTION 11.3. Exculpation. Neither the Agents or any Co-Agent nor any of
their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable to any
Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement or
any other Loan Document, or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its
own willful misconduct or gross negligence, nor responsible for any Recitals or
warranties herein or therein, nor for the effectiveness, enforceability,
validity or due execution of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor for
the creation, perfection or priority of any Liens purported to be created by any
of the Loan Documents, or the validity, genuineness, enforceability, existence,
value or sufficiency of any collateral security, nor to make any inquiry
respecting the performance by the Borrowers of their obligations hereunder or
under any other Loan Document. Any such inquiry which may be made by any Agent
shall not obligate it to make any further inquiry or to take any action. The
Agents shall be entitled to rely upon advice of counsel concerning legal matters
and upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement or writing which the Agents
believe to be genuine and to have been presented by a proper Person.

        SECTION 11.4. Successor. Any Co-Agent may resign as such upon one
Business Day's notice to the Borrowers and the Agents. Any Agent may resign as
such at any time upon at least 30 days' prior notice to the Borrowers and all
Lenders. If an Agent at any time shall resign, the Required Lenders may, with
the prior consent of the Borrowers (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld), appoint another Lender as a successor Agent which shall thereupon
become the an Agent hereunder. 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 notice of resignation, then the
retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which
shall be one of the Lenders or a commercial banking institution organized under
the laws of the U.S. (or any State thereof) or a U.S. branch or agency of a
commercial banking institution, and having a combined capital and surplus of at
least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by
a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall be entitled to receive from the
retiring Agent such documents of transfer and assignment as such successor Agent
may reasonably request, and shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with
all rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the
retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this
Agreement. After any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder as the applicable
Agent, the provisions of

                                      121
<PAGE>

        (a) this Article XI shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken

        (b) Section 10.3 and Section 12.4 shall continue to inure to its
benefit.

        SECTION 11.5. Credit Extensions by each Agent. Each Agent shall have the
same rights and powers with respect to (x) the Credit Extensions made by it or
any of its Affiliates, and (y) the Notes held by it or any of its Affiliates as
any other Lender and may exercise the same as if it were not an Agent. Each
Agent and its respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and
generally engage in any kind of business with the US Borrower or any Subsidiary
or Affiliate of the US Borrower as if such Agent were not an Agent hereunder.

        SECTION 11.6. Credit Decisions. Each Lender acknowledges that it has,
independently of each Agent and each other Lender, and based on such Lender's
review of the financial information of the Borrowers, this Agreement, the other
Loan Documents (the terms and provisions of which being satisfactory to such
Lender) and such other documents, information and investigations as such Lender
has deemed appropriate, made its own credit decision to extend its Commitments.
Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently of each Agent and each
other Lender, and based on such other documents, information and investigations
as it shall deem appropriate at any time, continue to make its own credit
decisions as to exercising or not exercising from time to time any rights and
privileges available to it under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

        SECTION 11.7. Copies, etc. The Agents shall give prompt notice to each
Lender of each notice or request required or permitted to be given to such Agent
by any Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (unless concurrently
delivered to the Lenders by such Borrower). The Agents will distribute to each
Lender each document or instrument received for its account and copies of all
other communications received by such Agent from any Borrower for distribution
to the Lenders by such Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

        SECTION 11.8. The Co-Agents. Notwithstanding anything else to the
contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, none of the
Co-Agents, in such capacity, shall have any rights, duties or responsibilities
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any fiduciary relationship
with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties,
obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist
against any of such Co-Agent in such capacity.

                                  ARTICLE XII.

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

        SECTION 12.1. Waivers, Amendments, etc. The provisions of this Agreement

demand in similar or other circumstances. No waiver or approval by any Agent,
any Issuer, any Lender or the holder of any Note under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document shall, except as may be otherwise stated in such waiver or
approval, be applicable to subsequent transactions. No waiver or approval

                                      124
<PAGE>

Exchange Act (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties"), free and harmless from
and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, losses, costs,
liabilities and damages, and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith
(irrespective of whether any such Indemnified Party is a party to the action for
which indemnification hereunder is sought), including reasonable attorneys' fees
and disbursements (collectively, the "Indemnified Liabilities"), incurred by the
Indemnified Parties or any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or
relating to

        (a) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part,
directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of any Credit Extension;

        (b) the entering into and performance of this Agreement and any other
Loan Document by any of the Indemnified Parties;

        (c) any investigation (where Indemnified Party has a reasonable basis to

of the stock or assets of any Person, whether or not such Agent, such Issuer or
such Lender is party thereto;

        (d) any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to any
environmental cleanup, audit, compliance or other matter relating to the US
Borrower's or any of its Subsidiaries' compliance with or liability under
Environmental Law or the Release by the US Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
of any Hazardous Material; or

        (e) the presence on or under, or the escape, seepage, leakage, spillage,
discharge, emission, discharging or releases from, any real property owned or
operated by the US Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof of any Hazardous Material
present on or under such property in a manner giving rise to liability at or
prior to the time the US Borrower or such Subsidiary owned or operated such
property (including any losses, liabilities, damages, injuries, costs, expenses
or claims asserted or arising under any Environmental Law), regardless of
whether caused by, or within the control of, the US Borrower or such Subsidiary,
except for any such Indemnified Liabilities arising for the account of a
particular Indemnified Party by reason of the relevant Indemnified Party's gross
negligence or willful misconduct. The Borrowers and their permitted successors
and assigns hereby waive, release and agree not to make any claim, or bring any
cost recovery action against, the Agents, the Issuers or any Lender under CERCLA
or any state equivalent, or any similar law now existing or hereafter enacted,
except to the extent arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of any Indemnified Party. It is expressly understood and agreed that to the
extent that any of such Persons is strictly liable under any Environmental Laws,
the Borrowers' obligation to such Person under this indemnity shall likewise be
without regard to fault on the part of the Borrowers with respect to the
violation or condition which results in liability of such Person. If and to the
extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, the
Borrowers hereby agree to make the maximum contribution to the payment and
satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under
applicable law. No Lender, Issuer or Agent shall be liable for punitive,
consequential or exemplary damages for any reason in connection with any of the
Loan Documents.

if any, under Article VI and Sections 12.3 and 12.4, and the obligations of the
Lenders under Sections 6.8 and 11.1, shall in each case survive any termination

of Credit have expired or terminated or been cash collateralized in an amount
and in a manner satisfactory to the US Issuer and the UK Issuer and the Credit
Extensions and all other Obligations due and payable at such terminations have

Borrower that a claim has been asserted or is likely to be asserted (whether
before or after the date of termination) for which reimbursement would
constitute an Obligation and (ii) the Borrowers have not deposited with the
Agents cash collateral in an amount equal to the amount of such Obligation). The
representations and warranties made by the Borrowers and each other Obligor in

of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

        SECTION 12.7. Headings. The various headings of this Agreement and of
each other Loan Document are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect

deemed to be an original and all of which shall constitute together but one and
the same agreement. This Agreement shall become effective when (i) counterparts

(or notice thereof satisfactory to the Agents) shall have been received by the
Agents and notice thereof shall have been given by the Agents, the Issuers, and
the Borrowers and each Lender and (ii) all conditions set forth in Section 7.3

(b) the US Agent shall have received for its own account, or for the account of
each Lender, as the case may be, all fees, costs and expenses due and payable

expenses shall be nonrefundable.

        (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Original

Section 9.2.2(h)(ii); provided that on or before November 15, 2001 (i) all
conditions set forth in

                                      126
<PAGE>

Section 7.3 shall have been satisfied or (ii) such Indebtedness referred to in
Section 9.2.2(h)(ii) and the proceeds of common equity issued by the US Borrower
in connection with the Raven Acquisition shall have been repaid in full together
with interest thereon, but without any penalty or premium. The undersigned
Agents and Lenders hereby consent to (x) the amendment and restatement effected
by the 2001 12% Subordinated Note Agreement and (y) the repayment of
Indebtedness and equity proceeds referred to in subclause (ii) of this clause
(b).

        In the event the conditions set forth in Section 7.3 are not satisfied
on or before November 15, 2001, the Original Credit Agreement shall remain in
full force and effect.

        SECTION 12.9. Governing Law; Entire Agreement. THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES
AND EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT (EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED THEREIN) SHALL EACH
BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER AND GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF
THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW. This Agreement, the Notes and the other
Loan Documents constitute the entire understanding among the parties hereto with
respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any prior agreements, written
or oral, with respect thereto.

        SECTION 12.10. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding
upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns; provided, however, that:

        (a) the Borrowers may not assign or transfer its rights or obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agents and all Lenders; and

        (b) the rights of sale, assignment and transfer of the Lenders are
subject to Section 12.11.

        SECTION 12.11. Sale and Transfer of Loans and Notes; Participations in

        SECTION 12.11.1 Assignments. Any Lender,

        (a) with the written consents of the US Borrower, the applicable Issuer
and the applicable Agent (which consents shall not be unreasonably delayed or
withheld and which consent, in the case of the Borrowers, shall not be required
if a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), may
at any time assign and delegate to one or more commercial banks or other
financial institutions, and

        (b) with notice to the US Borrower and the applicable Agent, but without
the consent of either Borrower or the Agents, may (i) in the case of the US
Loans, assign and delegate to any of its United States Affiliates or to any
other US Lender or any United States Approved Fund and (ii) in the case of the
UK Loans, assign and delegate to any of its United Kingdom Affiliates or to any
other United Kingdom Lender or any United Kingdom Approved Fund (each Person

                                      127
<PAGE>

described in either of the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) as being the Person to
whom such assignment and delegation is to be made, being hereinafter referred to
as an "Assignee Lender"), all or any fraction of such Lender's total Loans,
participations in Letters of Credit and Letter of Credit Outstandings with
respect thereto and Commitments (which assignment and delegation shall be, as
among Revolving Loan Commitments, Revolving Loans, participations in Letters of
Credit and US Swing Line Loans and US Term A Loans and US Term B Loans) in a
minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000 (if such assignment and delegation is to
a then existing Lender) and (ii) $2,500,000 (if such assignment and delegation
is to a Person not then a Lender) or the then remaining amount of a Lender's
Loans and Commitments; provided, however, that any such Assignee Lender will
comply, if applicable, with the provisions contained in Section 6.6 and the
Borrowers, each other Obligor and the Agents shall be entitled to continue to
deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interests so
assigned and delegated to an Assignee Lender until

                (i) written notice of such assignment and delegation, together
        with payment instructions, addresses and related information with
        respect to such Assignee Lender, shall have been given to the applicable
        Borrower and the applicable Agent by such Lender and such Assignee
        Lender;

                (ii) such Assignee Lender shall have executed and delivered to
        the Borrowers and the Agents a Lender Assignment Agreement, accepted by
        the applicable Agent; and

                (iii) the processing fees described below shall have been paid.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any assignment or delegation by any UK Lender or
US Lender of all or any portion of its Revolving Loan Commitments shall require
the consent of the US Agent and the applicable Issuer and, if any such
assignment or delegation is to a fund or an Approved Fund, such Assignee must
represent and warrant that it has the financial resources to fulfill its
commitments hereunder.

        From and after the date that the applicable Agent accepts such Lender
Assignment Agreement, (x) the Assignee Lender thereunder shall be deemed
automatically to have become a party hereto and to the extent that rights and
obligations hereunder have been assigned and delegated to such Assignee Lender
in connection with such Lender Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and
obligations of a Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and (y)
the assignor Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have
been assigned and delegated by it in connection with such Lender Assignment
Agreement, shall be released from its obligations hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents. Within ten Business Days after its receipt of notice that the
applicable Agent has received an executed Lender Assignment Agreement, the
Borrowers shall execute and deliver to the Agents (for delivery to the relevant
Assignee Lender) new Notes evidencing such Assignee Lender's assigned Loans and
Commitments to the extent requested by such Assignee Lender and, if the assignor
Lender has retained Loans and Commitments hereunder and Notes were previously
issued to such Lender, replacement Notes in the principal amount of the Loans
and Commitments retained by the assignor Lender hereunder (such Notes to be in
exchange for, but not in payment of, those Notes then held by such assignor
Lender). Each such Note shall be dated the date of the predecessor Notes, if
any. The assignor Lender shall mark the predecessor Notes "exchanged" and
deliver

                                      128
<PAGE>

them to the Borrowers. Accrued interest on that part of the predecessor Notes
evidenced by the new Notes, and accrued fees, shall be paid as provided in the
Lender Assignment Agreement. Accrued interest on that part of the predecessor
Notes evidenced by the replacement Notes shall be paid to the assignor Lender.
Accrued interest and accrued fees shall be paid at the same time or times
provided in the predecessor Notes and in this Agreement. Such assignor Lender or
such Assignee Lender must also pay a processing fee to the Agents upon delivery
of any Lender Assignment Agreement in the amount of $3,500, unless such
assignment and delegation is by a Lender to its Affiliate or if such assignment
and delegation is by a Lender to the Federal Reserve Bank, as provided below.
Any attempted assignment and delegation not made in accordance with this Section
12.11.1 shall be null and void. Notwithstanding any other term of this Section
12.11.1, the agreement of the US Swing Line Lender to provide the US Swing Line
Loan Commitment shall not impair or otherwise restrict in any manner the ability
of the US Swing Line Lender to make any assignment of its Loans or Commitments,
it being understood and agreed that the US Swing Line Lender may terminate its
US Swing Line Loan Commitment, to the extent such US Swing Line Commitment would
exceed its US Revolving Loan Commitment after giving effect to such assignment,
in connection with the making of any assignment, if and to the extent its US
Swing Line Commitment is assumed by another Lender. Nothing contained in this
Section 12.11.1 shall prevent or prohibit (i) any Lender from creating a
security interest in or pledging all or any portion of its rights under and
interest in this Agreement and the Notes held by it in favor of any Federal
Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 C.F.R. Section 203.14, and
such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce such pledge or security interest in any
manner permitted under applicable law, and (ii) any Lender that is a fund that
invests in bank loans may, without the consent of the Agents or the Borrowers,
pledge all or any part of its rights under and interest in this Agreement and
the Notes to any trustee or to any other representative of holders of
obligations owed or securities issued by such fund as security for such
obligations or securities; provided that any transfer to any Person upon the
enforcement of such pledge or security interest may only be made subject to this
Section 12.11.1.

        SECTION 12.11.2 Participations. Any Lender may at any time sell to one
or more commercial banks or other Persons (each of such commercial banks and
other Persons being herein called a "Participant") participating interests in
any of the Loans, Commitments, or other interests of such Lender hereunder;
provided, however, that

        (a) no participation contemplated in this Section shall relieve such
Lender from its Commitments or its other obligations hereunder or under any
other Loan Document;

        (b) such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of
its Commitments and such other obligations;

        (c) the Borrowers and each other Obligor and the Agents shall continue
to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's
rights and obligations under this Agreement and each of the other Loan
Documents;

        (d) no Participant, unless such Participant is an Affiliate of such
Lender, or is itself a Lender, shall be entitled to require such Lender to take

review of the books and records of the US Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in

or as reasonably required by any potential bona fide transferee, participant or
assignee, or in connection with the exercise of remedies under a Loan Document,
or as requested by any governmental agency or representative thereof or pursuant

receiving a disclosure of non-public information that by accepting such
information that:

                (i) they shall be bound by this Section 12.15; and

                (ii) they shall require such Person to require any other Person
        to whom such Person discloses such non-public information to be
        similarly bound by this Section 12.15; and

                                      131
<PAGE>

        (b) except as may be required by an order of a court of competent

or required to return any materials furnished by the US Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries.

        SECTION 12.16. Special Funding Option. (a) Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, any Lender (for the purposes of this Section
12.16, a "Granting Lender") may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (for
the purposes of this Section 12.16, an "SPC") the option to make, on behalf of
such Granting Lender, all or a portion of the Loans which such Granting Lender
is obligated to make (a "Funding Obligation") under the US Revolving Facility or
the UK Revolving Facility, such option to be exercisable in the sole discretion
of the SPC, provided, however, that

                (i) such Granting Lender's obligations under this Agreement and
        the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, including without limitation
        the indemnification obligations of the Granting Lender pursuant to
        Section 12.4;

                (ii) such Granting Lender shall remain solely responsible to the
        other parties hereto for the performance of all Funding Obligations;

                (iii) the Borrowers and the Lenders shall continue to deal
        solely and directly with such Granting Lender in connection with such
        Granting Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement; the
        applicable Agent shall continue to deal directly with the Granting
        Lender as agent for the SPC with respect to distribution of payment of
        principal, interest and fees, notices of conversion and continuation and
        all other matters;

                (iv) such Granting Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce
        the obligations of the Borrowers relating to its Loans and its Notes and
        to approve any amendment, modification, or waiver of any provisions of
        this Agreement, each of which may, if so agreed in writing between the
        Granting Lender and the SPC, require the prior consent of any such SPC
        which has exercised the option to undertake the Funding Obligation in
        connection with such Granting Lender's Commitments and Obligations owing
        thereto before the Granting Lender approves any such amendment,
        modification or waiver;

                (v) the granting of such option shall not constitute an
        assignment to or participation of such SPC of or in the Granting
        Lender's Commitments and Obligations owing thereto;

                (vi) such SPC shall not become a Lender hereunder as a result of
        the granting of such option;

                (vii) such SPC shall not become obligated or committed to make
        Loans as a result of the granting of such option;

                (viii) if such SPC elects not to exercise such option or
        otherwise fails to make all or any part of a Loan, the Granting Lender
        shall retain its Funding Obligation and be obligated to make the entire
        Loan or any portion of such Loan not made by such SPC; and

                                      132
<PAGE>

                (ix) any SPC may, with notice to, but without the prior written
        consent of, the Borrowers and the applicable Agent and without paying
        any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests as
        a participant or subparticipant in any Loans to the Granting Lender or
        to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrowers and such
        Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account
        of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans.

        (b) Loans made by an SPC hereunder shall be deemed to satisfy the
Funding Obligation and utilize the Revolving Loan Commitment of the Granting
Lender as if, and to the same extent, such Loans were made by such Granting
Lender.

        (c) Each party hereto agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any
indemnity or payment under this Agreement for which a Granting Lender would
otherwise be liable so long as, and to the extent that, the Granting Lender
provides such indemnity or makes such payment. In furtherance of the foregoing,
each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination
of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after
the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior
Indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person
in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any
State thereof arising out of or relating to transactions under this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents.

        (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, an SPC may disclose on a confidential basis any nonpublic information
relating to Loans made by such SPC hereunder to any rating agency, commercial
paper dealer or provider of any surety or guarantee to such SPC.

        (e) This Section 12.16 may not be amended without the prior written
consent of the Granting Lenders on behalf of which each SPC has made all or any
part of its Loans which remain outstanding at the time of such amendment.

        SECTION 12.17. Judgment Currency. The currency in which each Loan made
hereunder is denominated and the place of payment designated therefor is of the
essence. The payment obligation of each Borrower hereunder or any other Loan
Document in any designated currency and designated place of payment shall not be
discharged by an amount paid in another currency or in another place, whether
pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent that the amount so paid on
prompt conversion to the currency in which the Loan is denominated and transfer
to the designated place of payment under normal banking procedures does not
yield the amount owing hereunder at the designated place of payment. In the
event that any payment by any Borrower, whether pursuant to a judgment or
otherwise, upon such conversion and transfer does not result in payment of such
amount in the currency in which such Loan is denominated at the designated place
of payment (the "Required Amount"), the applicable Lender or Issuer shall be
entitled to demand immediate payment of, and shall have a separate cause of
action against such Borrower for, the additional amount necessary to yield the
amount of such currency owing hereunder. In the event that any such payment upon
such conversion and transfer results in receipt of an amount in excess of the
Required Amount, the applicable Lender or Issuer shall refund the amount of such
excess to the applicable Borrower.

                                      133

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be

of the services required to be provided by it under this Agreement and to make
itself available from time-to-time, on a part-time basis, to consult with the
management and Board of Directors of the Company in connection with such
services. In addition to the services of its own personnel, the Advisor shall be

to prohibit the Advisor from serving any other person or entity in any capacity

or potential conflict of interest vis-a-vis the Company or any of its
subsidiaries.

SECTION 3. TERM

        Subject to the termination provisions of Section 6 hereof, the initial
term of this Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and continue for a
period of three (3) years following the date hereof; thereafter, the term of
this Agreement shall be extended automatically for successive one-year periods
unless the Board of Directors of the Company or the Advisor shall give written
notice to the other party at least six (6) months prior to the end of the
initial three-year term or prior to the end of any one-year extended period then
in effect (as the case may be).

SECTION 4. COMPENSATION AND EXPENSES

        (a) In consideration of the services to be provided by the Advisor to

In addition, in the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the Shareholders

percent (1%) of Transaction Value (as defined below), in each case, as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. The Company

defined in the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of
April 3, 2000, by and among the Windward Entities, the Company and certain of
the Company's shareholders (the "Merger Agreement")) as in effect on the date
hereof. Upon any termination of this Agreement, the Management Fee payable with
respect to the then-current semi-annual period shall be prorated to reflect the
actual number of days during which this Agreement was in effect; provided that
no proration shall be made by the Company if the Company elects to terminate
this Agreement as provided under Section 6(a) or if this Agreement is terminated
as the result of the operation of Section 6(b) and the Advisor shall be entitled
to the full Management Fee for such semi-annual period.

other out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Advisor in connection
herewith, (iii) all other costs and expenses incurred by the Advisor related to
its duties hereunder and (iv) all Losses (as defined herein) that are the
subject of indemnification pursuant to this Agreement. The Company shall
reimburse the Advisor promptly for all Expenses upon the Advisor's presentation
of invoices or other documents reasonably evidencing such Expenses.

<PAGE>

        (c) The term "Transaction Value" shall mean the total fair market value
on the closing date of all consideration, including cash, securities, property,
indebtedness and obligations (including capitalized lease and preferred equity
obligations) assumed by the Company and any other form of consideration, such as
covenants not to compete, paid or payable, directly and indirectly, to entity or
business so acquired and/or its securityholders and/or holders of options,
warrants and similar rights in connection with the Acquisition or any
transaction related thereto. "Transaction Value" shall also include any
indebtedness or other obligations of the entity or business so acquired which
are assumed by the Company, in the case of an acquisition of assets or similar
transaction, or existing on the balance sheet of the entity or business so
acquired, in the case of an acquisition of stock or similar transaction.

        (d) The term "Acquisition" shall mean the purchase of any business or
company (whether in the form of equity, assets or otherwise).

SECTION 5. INDEMNIFICATION

        (a) The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify
the Advisor and each officer, director, employee, partner, Affiliate (as defined
in the Merger Agreement), agent and representative of the Advisor (collectively,
the "Indemnitees") against, and the Company will hold harmless and will release
each Indemnitee from, any and all Losses (as defined below), including any
incurred in connection with any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding,
investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or
governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or commission,
whether pending or threatened, whether or not any Indemnitee is or may be a
party thereto, which arise out of, relate to or are in connection with the
provision of any services hereunder or otherwise relate to this Agreement or the
management or conduct of the business or affairs of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, except for any Losses that are found by a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Indemnitee seeking indemnification. The term "Losses" shall
mean all losses, claims, damages or liabilities of each Indemnitee, joint or
several, and all judgments, fines, penalties, interest and charges, and all
costs and expenses incurred in connection with the investigation, defense or
settlement of any pending or threatened claims (including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees and expenses related thereto).

        (b) The termination of any proceeding by settlement shall not, of
itself, create a presumption that the Indemnitee acted in a manner which
constituted gross negligence, willful misconduct or a knowing violation of law.
The right of any Indemnitee to the indemnification provided herein shall be
cumulative of, and in addition to, any and all rights to which such Indemnitee
may otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of law or equity and shall
extend to his heirs, successors, assigns and legal representatives.

        (c) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee hereunder of written notice
of the commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to which a claim
for indemnification may be made pursuant to this Section 5, such Indemnitee
will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company, promptly
give written notice to the Company of the

                                       4

<PAGE>

commencement of such action; provided that the failure of any Indemnitee to give
notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Company of its obligations under
this Section 5, except to the extent that the Company is actually and materially
prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought
against an Indemnitee, unless in such Indemnitee's reasonable judgment a
conflict of interest between such Indemnitee and the Company may exist in
respect of such claim, the Company will be entitled to participate in and to
assume the defense thereof, to the extent that it may wish, with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee, and after notice from the Company of
its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Company will not be liable to
such Indemnitee for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the
Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof, unless in such Indemnitee's
reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between the Indemnitee and the
Company arises in respect of such claim after the assumption of the defense
thereof (in which case, the Company shall not assume the defense thereof, but
shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of one counsel in each
jurisdiction for all parties indemnified by the Company, subject to the same
exception as is set forth in the last sentence of this subsection (c)), and the
Company will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its
consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Company will not
consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement (i) which does not
include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff
to such Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or
litigation, and (ii) that imposes any obligation on an Indemnitee (except any
obligation to make payments which the Company shall, and promptly does, pay). If
the Company elects not to assume the defense of a claim, it will not be
obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties
indemnified by the Company with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable
judgment of any Indemnitee a conflict of interest may exist between such
Indemnitee and any other of such Indemnitees with respect to such claim, in
which event the Company shall be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of such
additional counsel or counsels.

        (d) Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement pursuant to
Section 6, the expiration of the term hereof pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise,
the indemnification provided under this Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect thereafter.

        (e) No Indemnitee shall be liable to the Company or its subsidiaries for
any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss incurred by the Company
or its subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with the
matters to which this Agreement relates, except for any damages that are found
by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitee seeking indemnification. In
no event shall the Advisor or any Indemnitee be liable for any indirect, special
or consequential damages arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.
The Advisor and the Indemnitees may consult with legal counsel, accountants and
other consultants and experts in respect of the affairs of the Company and its
subsidiaries and shall be fully protected and justified in acting, or failing to
act, in a manner consistent with the advice or opinion of such legal counsel,
accountants and other consultants and experts.

SECTION 6. TERMINATION

(a) this Agreement may be terminated by either the Advisor or the Company upon
at least six (6) months prior written notice to the other party, and (b) this
Agreement shall terminate automatically without any action on the part of either
party hereto (i) upon the consummation of a Change in Control (as defined in the
Shareholders Agreement) or (ii) at such time, if any, that the Company is no
longer a majority-owned subsidiary of the Windward Entities.
