         Revolving Loans shall be in a principal amount of at least $500,000 and
         in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount.

              (b) Notice of Borrowing. When the Borrowers desire to borrow under
this Section 2.01, TIMCO, on behalf of the Borrowers, shall deliver to the Agent
a Notice of Borrowing, signed by TIMCO, (i) no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York
time) on the proposed Funding Date, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate
Loans, and (ii) no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) at least three (3)
Business Days in advance of the proposed Funding Date therefor, in the case of a
Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Such Notice of Borrowing shall specify (i)
the proposed Funding Date (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the amount of
the proposed Borrowing, (iii), if a Revolving Loan, the Revolving Credit
Availability as of the date of such Notice of Borrowing, and (iv) instructions
for the disbursement of the proceeds of the proposed Borrowing, and shall be
accompanied by the then most recently delivered Borrowing Base Certificate duly
completed and signed by TIMCO's chief financial officer, chief executive
officer, treasurer or controller in compliance with Section 8.03. In lieu of
delivering such a Notice of Borrowing (except with respect to a Borrowing of
Loans on the Effective Date), TIMCO may give the Agent telephonic notice of any
proposed Borrowing by the time required under this Section 2.01(b), if TIMCO
confirms such notice by delivery of the required Notice of Borrowing to the
Agent by facsimile transmission promptly, but in no event later than 5:00 p.m.
(New York time) on the same day, the original of which facsimile copy shall be
delivered to the Agent within three (3) days after the date of such
transmission. Any Notice of Borrowing (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof)
given pursuant to this Section 2.01(b) shall be irrevocable.

              (c) Making of Loans.

              (i) Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing under Section
         2.01(b) (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof), the Agent, at its
         option and in its sole discretion, shall do either of the following:

              (A) The Agent shall notify each Lender by telecopy, or other
         similar form of transmission, of the proposed Borrowing. Subject to the
         fulfillment of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.01 or
         Section 6.02, as applicable, each Lender shall deposit an amount equal
         to its Pro Rata Share of the amount requested by TIMCO to be made as
         Term Loans or Revolving Loans with the Agent at its office in New York,
         New York, in immediately available funds, (A) on the Effective Date
         with respect to the Borrowing of Loans on such date specified in the
         initial Notice of Borrowing and (B) not

                                       36

<PAGE>

         later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on any other Funding Date for
         Revolving Loans and the Agent shall make the proceeds of such amounts
         received by it available to the Borrowers at the Agent's office in New
         York, New York on such Funding Date (or on the date received if later
         than such Funding Date) and shall disburse such proceeds in accordance
         with the disbursement instructions set forth in the applicable Notice
         of Borrowing. The failure of any Lender to deposit the amount described
         above with the Agent on the applicable Funding Date shall not relieve
         any other Lender of its obligations hereunder to make its Term Loan or
         Revolving Loan on such Funding Date. In the event the conditions
         precedent set forth in Section 6.01 or 6.02, as applicable, are not
         fulfilled as of the proposed Funding Date for any Borrowing, the Agent
         shall promptly return, by wire transfer of immediately available funds,
         the amount deposited by each Lender to such Lender.

         or

              (B) Subject to the fulfillment of the conditions precedent set
         forth in Section 6.01 or Section 6.02, as applicable, the Agent shall,
         provided that the requested Borrowing of Revolving Loans is of an
         amount which is less than the amount of Citicorp's unused Revolving
         Credit Commitment (after taking into account all other then outstanding
         Agent Advances) as of the Funding Date for such Borrowing, advance the
         amount of the proposed Borrowing (an "Agent Advance") to the Borrowers
         out of the Agent's own funds. The Lenders, upon notice (in the form
         provided for in clause (A) above) from the Agent as to the amount
         required to do so, shall remit to the Agent on a weekly or more
         frequent basis that amount which is necessary to conform each Lender's
         Revolving Loans outstanding at such time to its Pro Rata Share thereof.
         Each Lender shall make available the amount required from it as
         aforesaid to the Agent in Dollars and in immediately available funds
         not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day such notice is
         given by the Agent. In the event of the making of any such Agent
         Advance, each Lender's share of the interest allocable thereto shall be
         adjusted as necessary to account for the period of time the same is
         outstanding from the Agent. Any payment by a Lender to the Agent
         pursuant to this clause (B) shall constitute a Revolving Loan to the
         Borrowers and an assignment by Citicorp of a portion of its Revolving
         Loans to such Lender equal to the amount of the payment received by the
         Agent from such Lender.

              (ii) In connection with the funding of Loans pursuant to Section
         2.01(c)(i)(A), unless the Agent shall have been notified by any Lender
         on the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Funding Date
         in respect of any Borrowing of Loans that such Lender does not intend
         to fund its Loan requested to be made on such Funding Date, the Agent
         may assume that such Lender has funded its Loan and is depositing the
         proceeds thereof with the Agent on the Funding Date therefor, and the
         Agent in its sole discretion may, but shall not be obligated to,
         disburse a corresponding amount to the Borrowers on the applicable
         Funding Date. If the Loan proceeds corresponding to that amount are
         advanced to the Borrowers by the Agent but are not in fact deposited
         with the Agent by such Lender on or prior to the applicable Funding
         Date or a Lender's Pro Rata Share of an Agent Advance is not remitted
         to the Agent as and when required pursuant to Section 2.01(c)(i)(B),
         the Lender not making such deposit or remitting such amount agrees to
         pay, and in addition the Borrowers agree to repay, to the Agent
         forthwith on

                                       37

<PAGE>

         demand such corresponding amount, together with interest thereon, for
         each day from the date such amount is disbursed to or for the benefit
         of the Borrowers until the date such amount is paid or repaid to the
         Agent, (A) in the case of the Borrowers, at the interest rate
         applicable to such Borrowing and (B) in the case of such Lender, at the
         Federal Funds Rate for the first three (3) Business Days, and
         thereafter at the interest rate applicable to such Borrowing. If such
         Lender shall pay to the Agent the corresponding amount, the amount so
         paid shall constitute such Lender's Loan, and if both such Lender and
         the Borrowers shall pay and repay such corresponding amount, the Agent
         shall promptly pay to the Borrowers such corresponding amount. This
         Section 2.01(c)(ii) does not relieve any Lender of its obligation to
         make its Loan on any applicable Funding Date as and when required under
         Section 2.01(c)(i)(A) or to remit its Pro Rata Share of any Agent
         Advance as and when required under Section 2.01(c)(i)(B).

              (d) Revolving Credit Termination Date. Unless earlier terminated
in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01, the Revolving Credit
Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Credit Termination Date. Each
Lender's obligation to make Revolving Loans shall terminate on the Business Day
next preceding the Revolving Credit Termination Date. All outstanding Revolving
Credit Obligations shall be paid in full (or, in the case of unmatured Letter of
Credit Obligations, provision for payment in cash shall be made to the
satisfaction of the Issuing Banks and the Requisite Lenders) (i) if the
Revolving Credit Commitments are terminated pursuant to Section 4.01, on the
Revolving Credit Termination Date, and (ii) otherwise, on the earlier to occur
of (A) January 31, 2004 or, if not a Business Day, the next preceding Business
Day, and (B) the date of acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section
12.02.

              (e) Maximum Revolving Credit Facility. Notwithstanding anything in
this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the aggregate principal
Revolving Credit Obligations exceed the lesser of (i) the Maximum Revolving
Credit Amount and (ii) $30,000,000, such amount in clause (ii) being reduced by
the amount of each permanent reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments made
pursuant to Section 4.01(a) and Section 4.01(b).

              2.02. Authorized Officers and Agents. On the Effective Date, TIMCO
shall deliver, and from time to time thereafter TIMCO may deliver, to the Agent
an Officer's Certificate setting forth the names of (a) TIMCO's officers,
employees and agents authorized to request Loans and Letters of Credit on behalf
of the Borrowers and (b) the officers of each respective Guarantor authorized to
act for such Person in respect of all matters relating to the Loan Documents, in
each instance containing a specimen signature of each such officer, employee or
agent. The Chairman of the Board of Directors of TIMCO shall also be authorized
to act for the Borrowers in respect of all other matters relating to the Loan
Documents. The Agent, Lenders and Issuing Banks shall be entitled to rely
conclusively on such officers', employees' or agents' authority to request
Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit and on such officers' of TIMCO and the
Guarantors authority to execute and deliver all instruments and agreements
pertaining to the Loan Documents and taking other actions attendant thereto
until the Agent, Lenders and Issuing Banks receive written notice to the
contrary. None of the Agent, the Lenders, or the Issuing Banks shall have any
duty to verify the authenticity of the signature appearing on any such Officer's
Certificate, written Notice of Borrowing or any other document, and, with
respect to an oral request for such a Loan or Letter of Credit, the

                                       38

<PAGE>

Agent shall have no duty to verify the identity of any person representing
himself or herself as one of TIMCO's officers, employees or agents authorized to
make such request or otherwise to act on behalf of the Borrowers. None of the
Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank shall incur any liability to any Borrower
or any other Person in acting upon any telephonic or facsimile notice referred
to above which the Agent, such Lender, or such Issuing Bank believes to have
been given by a duly authorized officer or other person authorized to borrow on
behalf of the Borrowers.

              2.03. Use of Proceeds of Loans. The proceeds of the Term Loans
shall be used to repay amounts outstanding under the Supplemental Term Loan on
the Effective Date. The proceeds of the Revolving Loans shall be used to pay the
Transaction Costs and amounts outstanding under the Supplemental Term Loan, for
working capital in the ordinary course of business of the Borrowers and their
Subsidiaries, and for other lawful general corporate purposes of the Borrowers
and their Subsidiaries not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement. In no
event shall proceeds of the Loans be used, directly or indirectly, without the
prior written consent of the Lenders, to:

              (a) provide a deposit, in escrow or otherwise, or cash collateral
for any obligation under the TROL Documents or any letter of credit issued in
support of the TROL Documents, which is not a Letter of Credit, or to make any
payment of Indebtedness incurred under or in connection with the TROL Documents
(other than Transaction Costs and obligations incurred under the TROL Lease in
the ordinary course of business of Parent),

              (b) provide a deposit, in escrow or otherwise, or cash collateral
for any obligation under any Subordinated Notes Documents or make any cash
payment of Indebtedness incurred under or in connection with the Subordinated
Notes Documents (except to the extent otherwise not prohibited by the terms of
this Agreement), or

              (c) provide a deposit, in escrow or otherwise, or cash collateral
for any obligation under any BofA Documents or make any payment of Indebtedness
incurred under or in connection with the BofA Documents (other than ordinary
course interest payments and as otherwise referenced in Article VI).

                                LETTERS OF CREDIT

              3.01. Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement, each Issuing Bank hereby severally agrees to issue for
the account of the Borrowers, or for the account of any Subsidiary of a
Borrower, if the Borrowers are jointly and severally liable for reimbursement of
amounts drawn under such Letter of Credit, one or more Letters of Credit,
subject to the following provisions:

              (a)   Types and Amounts. An Issuing Bank shall not have any
obligation to issue, amend or extend, and shall not issue, amend or extend, any
Letter of Credit at any time:

              (i)   if the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations with respect
         to such Issuing Bank, after giving effect to the issuance, amendment or
         extension of the Letter of Credit requested hereunder, shall exceed any
         limit imposed by law or regulation upon such Issuing Bank;

              (ii)  if the Issuing Bank receives written notice from the Agent
         at or before 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date of the proposed
         issuance, amendment or extension of such Letter of Credit that (A)
         immediately after giving effect to the issuance, amendment or extension
         of such Letter of Credit, (I) the Letter of Credit Obligations at such
         time would exceed $13,000,000, or (II) the Revolving Credit Obligations
         at such time would exceed the Maximum Revolving Credit Amount at such
         time, or (B) one or more of the conditions precedent contained in
         Sections 6.01 or 6.02, as applicable, would not on such date be
         satisfied, unless such conditions are thereafter satisfied and written
         notice of such satisfaction is given to the Issuing Bank by the Agent
         (it being understood that an Issuing Bank shall not otherwise be
         required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions
         precedent set forth in Sections 6.01 or 6.02, as applicable, have been
         satisfied);

              (iii) if the expiration date therefor is later than the earlier of
         (A) the date one (1) year after the date of issuance (without regard to
         any automatic renewal provisions thereof) or (B) the Business Day next
         preceding the scheduled Revolving Credit Termination Date;

              (iv)  if the requested Letter of Credit is in a currency other
         than Dollars and Borrowers have not obtained a Hedge Agreement with
         respect thereto satisfactory to the Agent; or

              (v)   for the purpose of supporting, directly or indirectly,
         Indebtedness under the TROL Documents or incurred in connection with
         the development of and construction on the Property financed
         thereunder;

              (b)   Conditions. In addition to being subject to the satisfaction
of the conditions precedent contained in Sections 6.01 and 6.02, as applicable,
the obligation of an Issuing Bank to issue, amend or extend any Letter of Credit
is subject to the satisfaction in full of the following conditions:

                                       40

<PAGE>

          (i)  if the Issuing Bank so requests, the Borrowers or, in the case of
     Letters of Credit issued for the account of any Subsidiary of a Borrower,
     the Borrowers and such Subsidiary of a Borrower, as applicable, shall have
     executed and delivered to such Issuing Bank and the Agent a Letter of
     Credit Reimbursement Agreement and such other documents and materials as
     may be required pursuant to the terms thereof; and

          (ii) the terms of the proposed Letter of Credit shall be satisfactory
     to the Issuing Bank in its sole discretion.

          (c)  Issuance of Letters of Credit.

          (i)  TIMCO, on behalf of the Borrowers shall give an Issuing Bank and
     the Agent written notice that it has selected such Issuing Bank to issue a
     Letter of Credit not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the third
     (3rd) Business Day preceding the requested date for issuance thereof under
     this Agreement, or such shorter notice as may be acceptable to such Issuing
     Bank and the Agent. Such notice shall be irrevocable unless and until such
     request is denied by the applicable Issuing Bank and shall specify (A) that
     the requested Letter of Credit is either a Commercial Letter of Credit or a
     Standby Letter of Credit, (B) that such Letter of Credit is solely for the
     account of the Borrowers, jointly and severally, or that such Letter of
     Credit is for the account of the Borrowers and a Subsidiary of a Borrower,
     jointly and severally, providing the name of the Subsidiary of such
     Borrower which is jointly and severally applying for such Letter of Credit,
     (C) the stated amount of the Letter of Credit requested, (D) the effective
     date (which shall be a Business Day) of issuance of such Letter of Credit,
     (E) the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall be a
     Business Day and no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the
     scheduled Revolving Credit Termination Date), (F) the Person for whose
     benefit such Letter of Credit is to be issued, (G) other relevant terms of
     such Letter of Credit, (H) the Revolving Credit Availability at such time,
     and (I) the amount of the then outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations.
     Such Issuing Bank shall notify the Agent immediately upon receipt of a
     written notice from TIMCO requesting that a Letter of Credit be issued, or
     that an existing Letter of Credit be extended or amended and, upon the
     Agent's request therefor, send a copy of such notice to the Agent.

          (ii) The Issuing Bank shall (A) give the Agent written notice, or
     telephonic notice confirmed promptly thereafter in writing, of the
     issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit and (B) promptly
     after issuance thereof, provide the Agent with a copy of each Letter of
     Credit issued and each amendment thereto.

          (d)  Reimbursement Obligations; Duties of Issuing Banks.

          (i)  Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in any Letter of
     Credit Reimbursement Agreement:

          (A)  the Borrowers shall reimburse, or cause the applicable Subsidiary
     of a Borrower, if applicable, for whose account a Letter of Credit is
     issued to reimburse, the Issuing Bank for amounts drawn under such Letter
     of Credit, in Dollars, no later than the

                                       41

<PAGE>

     date (the "Reimbursement Date") which is the earlier of (I) the time
     specified in the applicable Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement and
     (II) one (1) Business Day after TIMCO receives written notice from the
     Issuing Bank that payment has been made under such Letter of Credit by the
     Issuing Bank; and

          (B)    all Reimbursement Obligations with respect to any Letter of
     Credit shall bear interest at the rate applicable in accordance with
     Section 5.01(a) from the date of the relevant drawing under such Letter of
     Credit until the Reimbursement Date and thereafter at the rate applicable
     in accordance with Section 5.01(c).

          (ii)   The Issuing Bank shall give the Agent written notice, or
     telephonic notice confirmed promptly thereafter in writing, of all drawings
     under a Letter of Credit issued under this Agreement and the payment (or
     the failure to pay when due) by the Borrowers or a Subsidiary of a
     Borrower, as applicable, on account of a Reimbursement Obligation.

          (iii)  No action taken or omitted in good faith by an Issuing Bank
     under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued under this
     Agreement shall put such Issuing Bank under any resulting liability to any
     Lender, any Borrower, any Subsidiary of a Borrower, or, so long as it is
     not issued in violation of Section 3.01(a), relieve any Lender of its
     obligations hereunder to such Issuing Bank. Solely as between the Issuing
     Banks and the Lenders, in determining whether to pay under any such Letter
     of Credit, the respective Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to the
     Lenders other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered
     under a respective Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered and that
     they appear on their face to comply with the requirements of such Letter of
     Credit.

          (e)    Participations.

          (i)    Immediately upon issuance by an Issuing Bank of any Letter of
     Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 3.01,
     each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally
     purchased and received from that Issuing Bank, without recourse or
     warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Letter of Credit
     and the related Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement to the extent of
     such Lender's Pro Rata Share, including, without limitation, all rights of
     the Issuing Bank with respect to obligations of the Borrowers with respect
     thereto (other than amounts owing to the Issuing Bank under Section
     3.01(g)) and any security therefor and guaranty pertaining thereto.

          (ii)   If any Issuing Bank makes any payment under any Letter of
     Credit issued under this Agreement and the Borrowers, or the Subsidiary of
     a Borrower for whose account such Letter of Credit was issued, as
     applicable, do/does not repay such amount to the Issuing Bank on the
     Reimbursement Date, the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Agent, which
     shall promptly notify each Lender, and each Lender shall promptly and
     unconditionally pay to the Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank, in
     immediately available funds, the amount of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of
     such payment (net of that portion of such payment, if any, made by such
     Lender in its capacity as an Issuing Bank), and the Agent shall promptly
     pay to the Issuing Bank such amounts received by it, and

                                       42

<PAGE>

     any other amounts received by the Agent for the Issuing Bank's account,
     pursuant to this Section 3.01(e). If a Lender does not make its Pro Rata
     Share of the amount of such payment available to the Agent, such Lender
     agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank, forthwith
     on demand, such amount together with interest thereon, for the first three
     (3) Business Days after the date such payment was first due at the Federal
     Funds Rate, and thereafter at the interest rate then applicable in
     accordance with Section 5.01(a). The failure of any Lender to make
     available to the Agent for the account of an Issuing Bank its Pro Rata
     Share of any such payment shall neither relieve any other Lender of its
     obligation hereunder to make available to the Agent for the account of such
     Issuing Bank such other Lender's Pro Rata Share of any payment on the date
     such payment is to be made nor increase the obligation of any other Lender
     to make such payment to the Agent.

          (iii)  Whenever an Issuing Bank receives a payment on account of a
     Reimbursement Obligation, including any interest thereon, as to which the
     Agent has previously received payments from any Lender for the account of
     such Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 3.01(e), such Issuing Bank shall
     promptly pay to the Agent and the Agent shall promptly pay to such Lender
     an amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share thereof. Each such payment
     shall be made by such Issuing Bank or the Agent, as the case may be, on the
     Business Day on which such Person receives the funds paid to such Person
     pursuant to the preceding sentence, if received prior to 11:00 a.m. (New
     York time) on such Business Day, and otherwise on the next succeeding
     Business Day.

          (iv)   Upon the request of any Lender, an Issuing Bank shall furnish
     such Lender copies of any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit
     Reimbursement Agreement to which such Issuing Bank is party and such other
     documentation as reasonably may be requested by such Lender.

          (v)    The obligations of a Lender to make payments to the Agent for
     the account of any Issuing Bank with respect to a Letter of Credit issued
     under this Agreement shall be irrevocable, shall not be subject to any
     qualification or exception whatsoever except willful misconduct or gross
     negligence of such Issuing Bank, and shall be honored in accordance with
     this Article III (irrespective of the satisfaction of the conditions
     described in Sections 6.01 and 6.02, as applicable) under all
     circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following
     circumstances:

          (A)    any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any
     of the other Loan Documents;

          (B)    the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right
     which any Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a
     Letter of Credit or any transferee of a beneficiary named in a Letter of
     Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the
     Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in
     connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions
     contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying
     transactions between the account party and beneficiary named in any Letter
     of Credit);

                                       43

<PAGE>

          (C)  any draft, certificate or any other document presented under the
     Letter of Credit having been determined to be forged, fraudulent, invalid
     or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or
     inaccurate in any respect;

          (D)  the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance
     or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents;

          (E)  any failure by that Issuing Bank to make any reports required

     Default.

          (f)  Payment of Reimbursement Obligations.

          (i)  The Borrowers, jointly and severally, unconditionally agree to
     pay, or cause the Subsidiary of a Borrower for whose account a Letter of
     Credit is issued, as applicable, to pay, to each Issuing Bank, in Dollars,
     the amount of all Reimbursement Obligations, interest and other amounts
     payable to such Issuing Bank under or in connection with the Letters of
     Credit when such amounts are due and payable, irrespective of any claim,
     setoff, defense or other right which any Borrower or such Subsidiary of a
     Borrower may have at any time against any Issuing Bank or any other Person.

          (ii) In the event any payment by the Borrowers or such Subsidiary
     received by an Issuing Bank with respect to a Letter of Credit and
     distributed by the Agent to the Lenders on account of their participations
     is thereafter set aside, avoided or recovered from such Issuing Bank in
     connection with any receivership, liquidation or bankruptcy proceeding,
     each Lender which received such distribution shall, upon demand by such
     Issuing Bank, contribute such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the amount set
     aside, avoided or recovered together with interest at the rate required, if
     any, to be paid by such Issuing Bank upon the amount required to be repaid
     by it.

          (g)  Issuing Bank Charges. The Borrowers shall pay, or cause a
Borrower's Subsidiary for whose account a Letter of Credit is issued, as
applicable, to pay, to each Issuing Bank, solely for its own account, the
standard charges assessed by such Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance,
administration, amendment and payment or cancellation of Letters of Credit and
such compensation in respect of such Letters of Credit for the Borrower's or
such Subsidiary's account, as applicable, as may be agreed upon by TIMCO and
such Issuing Bank from time to time.

          (h)  Issuing Bank Reporting Requirements. Each Issuing Bank shall, no
later than the tenth (10th) Business Day following the last day of each calendar
month, provide to the Agent, TIMCO, and each Lender separate schedules for
Commercial Letters of Credit and Standby Letters of Credit issued as Letters of
Credit, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, setting
forth the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations outstanding to it at the end of
each month and, to the extent not otherwise provided in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3.01(c)(ii), any information requested by the Agent or the
Borrower relating to the date of issue, account party, amount, expiration date
and reference number of each Letter of Credit issued by it.

          (i)    Indemnification; Exoneration.

          (i)    In addition to all other amounts payable to an Issuing Bank,
     the Borrowers, jointly and severally, hereby agree to defend, indemnify,
     and save the Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender harmless from and
     against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, penalties, damages,
     losses (other than loss of profits), costs, charges and expenses (including
     reasonable attorneys' fees but excluding taxes) which the Agent, such
     Issuing Bank or such Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence,
     direct or indirect, of (A) the issuance of any Letter of Credit other than
     as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing
     Bank, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, or (B) the
     failure of the Issuing Bank issuing a Letter of Credit to honor a drawing
     under such Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether
     rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto
     government or Governmental Authority.

          (ii)   As between the Borrowers and any Subsidiary of any Borrowers'
     for whose account a Letter of Credit is issued, as applicable, on the one
     hand and the Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks on the other hand,
     the Borrowers, jointly and severally, assume all risks of the acts and
     omissions of, or misuse of Letters of Credit by, the respective
     beneficiaries of the Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in
     limitation of the foregoing, subject to the provisions of the Letter of
     Credit Reimbursement Agreements, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall
     not be responsible for: (A) the form, validity, legality, sufficiency,
     accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any
     party in connection with the application for and issuance of the Letters of
     Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects
     invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (B) the validity,
     legality or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or
     purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or
     benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may
     prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (C) failure of the
     beneficiary of a Letter of Credit to comply duly with conditions required
     in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (D) errors, omissions,
     interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by
     mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in
     cipher; (E) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (F) any loss or
     delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to
     make a drawing under any Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (G)
     the misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of the proceeds
     of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; and (H) any consequences
     arising from causes beyond the control of the Agent, the Issuing Banks or
     the Lenders.

          3.02.  Obligations Several. The obligations of each Issuing Bank and
each Lender under this Article III are several and not joint, and no Issuing
Bank or Lender shall be responsible for the obligation to issue Letters of
Credit or participation obligation hereunder, respectively, of any other Issuing
Bank or Lender.

          3.03.  Transitional Provisions.  Schedule 3.03 contains a schedule of
certain "Letters of Credit" outstanding under the Predecessor Agreement which
remain outstanding on the Effective Date. Such letters of credit shall
automatically and without further action of the parties hereto be

                                       45

continued as Letters of Credit and be deemed issued pursuant to this Article III
and subject to the provisions of this Agreement; no additional Fronting Fee
shall be required under the provisions of Section 5.02(a) with respect thereto;
the undrawn face amount of such Letters of Credit shall be included in the
calculation of Letter of Credit Obligations; and all liabilities with respect
thereto shall constitute Obligations.

                            PAYMENTS AND PREPAYMENTS

              4.01. Prepayments; Reductions in Revolving Credit Commitments.

              (a)   Voluntary Prepayments/Reductions.

              (i)   Notice; Application of Prepayments. The Borrowers may repay
         or prepay the Loans, without prior written notice to the Agent or any
         Lender, at any time and from time to time. Voluntary prepayments of the
         Term Loans shall be applied to installments due thereunder in the
         inverse order of maturity.

              (ii)  Voluntary Revolving Credit Commitment Reductions. The
         Borrowers, upon at least three (3) Business Days' prior written notice
         to the Agent (which the Agent shall promptly transmit to each Lender),
         shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to terminate
         in whole or permanently reduce in part the Revolving Credit
         Commitments; provided that the Borrowers shall have made whatever
         payment may be required to reduce the Revolving Credit Obligations to
         an amount less than or equal to the Revolving Credit Commitments as
         reduced or terminated. Any partial reduction of the Revolving Credit
         Commitments shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and
         integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount, and shall
         reduce the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Lender proportionately
         in accordance with its Pro Rata Share. Any notice of termination or
         reduction given to the Agent under this Section 4.01(a)(ii) shall
         specify the date (which shall be a Business Day) of such termination or
         reduction and, with respect to a partial reduction, the aggregate
         principal amount thereof. When notice of termination or reduction is
         delivered as provided herein, the principal amount of the Revolving
         Loans specified in the notice shall become due and payable on the date
         specified in such notice.

              (b)   Mandatory Prepayments/Reductions.

              (i)   Net Cash Proceeds of Sale. Immediately upon the receipt by
         any Borrower or Guarantor of any Net Cash Proceeds of Sale, the
         Borrowers shall make or cause to be made a mandatory prepayment of the
         Obligations in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such
         Net Cash Proceeds of Sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the
         written request of TIMCO to the Agent, on the date of such receipt of
         Net Cash Proceeds of Sale, that the Borrowers be permitted to use
         certain of such Net Cash Proceeds of Sale for working capital purposes
         attendant to the operations of their respective businesses, in the
         ordinary course thereof, (A) the Borrowers shall be permitted to retain
         Net Cash Proceeds of Sale in an amount not to exceed $500,000 in the
         aggregate during the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending
         on the Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided that (I) such Net
         Cash Proceeds of Sale arise from a transaction permitted under Section
         10.02 or otherwise consented to by the Requisite Lenders, (II) such
         written request includes a disclosure of the amount of Net Cash
         Proceeds of Sale received, the portion thereof which is subject to the
         request, and the aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds of Sale retained
         by the Borrowers for such purposes after giving effect to the then
         current request, (III) the Agent shall have received

                                       47

<PAGE>

         a copy of the agreement(s) evidencing the transaction giving rise to
         such Net Cash Proceeds of Sale no less than five (5) Business Days
         prior to the consummation of such transaction, (IV) no Event of Default
         or Potential Event of Default shall have occurred and then continue,
         and (V) no interest shall have been paid in cash with respect to the
         PIK Subordinated Debt, and (B) the mandatory prepayment otherwise
         required under this Section 4.01(b)(i) in the amount of Net Cash
         Proceeds of Sale requested to be retained shall not be required to be
         made.

              (ii)   Net Cash Proceeds of Issuance of Equity Securities or
         Indebtedness. Immediately upon the receipt by any Borrower or Guarantor
         of any Net Cash Proceeds of Issuance of Equity Securities or Net Cash
         Proceeds of Issuance of Indebtedness, the Borrowers shall make or cause
         to be made a mandatory prepayment of the Obligations in an amount equal
         to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Cash Proceeds of Issuance of
         Equity Securities or Indebtedness.

              (iii)  Tax Refunds. Immediately upon the receipt by any Borrower
         or Guarantor of any tax refund, the Borrowers shall make or cause to be
         made a mandatory prepayment of the Revolving Loans in an amount equal
         to one hundred percent (100%) of such tax refund.

              (iv)   Sale/Leasebacks. Immediately upon receipt by any Borrower
         or Guarantor of cash proceeds of sale of any Property identified on
         Schedule 10.10, the Borrowers shall make or cause to be made a
         mandatory prepayment of the Revolving Loans in an amount equal to one
         hundred percent (100%) of such proceeds.

              (v)    Section 10.02(e) Sale. In the event the transaction
         described on Schedule 10.02-E is consummated, (A) up to $3,500,000 of
         the cash proceeds thereof may be used by the Borrowers, on the date of
         receipt of such proceeds, to (1) repay the Indebtedness evidenced by
         the Quevedo Note and (2) repay the Indebtedness evidenced by the BofA
         2002 Note or the Shareholder Subrogation Claim of James Investments,
         Inc. arising with respect to the BofA 2002 Note, and (B) the balance of
         the cash proceeds thereof may be used to make a voluntary prepayment of
         the Term Loans in accordance with Section 4.01(a)(i). In the event
         either no prepayment of the Term Loans is made as described in clause
         (B) above or only a portion of the balance of such cash proceeds is
         used to make such voluntary prepayment of the Term Loans, the Borrowers
         shall make or cause to be made a mandatory prepayment of of the
         Revolving Loans in an amount equal to the balance of such cash proceeds
         not so used.

              (vi)   Insufficient Collateral. The Borrowers shall, immediately
         and without notice or demand of any kind, make repayments of the
         Revolving Loans to the extent necessary to reduce the outstanding
         principal amount of the Revolving Credit Obligations to an amount not
         to exceed the Borrowing Base.

              (vii)  No Waiver or Consent. Nothing in this Section 4.01(b) shall
         be construed to constitute the Lenders' consent to any transaction
         referenced above which is not expressly permitted by Article X.

                                       48

<PAGE>

              (viii) Notice. TIMCO shall give the Agent prior written notice or
         telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing (each of which the
         Agent shall promptly transmit to each Lender), when a Designated
         Prepayment will be made (which date of prepayment shall be no later
         than the date on which such Designated Prepayment becomes due and
         payable pursuant to this Section 4.01(b)).

              (ix) Application of Prepayments.

              (A)  Designated Prepayments shall be allocated and applied first
         to reduce amount, if any, by which the outstanding principal amount of
         the Revolving Credit Obligations exceeds the Borrowing Base at the time
         of receipt of such Designated Prepayments by application to repayment
         of the Revolving Loans then outstanding, second to the outstanding
         principal balance of theTerm Loan until paid in full, third to the
         outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans until paid in
         full, fourth to the Letter of Credit Obligations (or, to the extent
         such Letter of Credit Obligations are contingent, deposited in the Cash
         Collateral Account to provide Cash Collateral in respect of such Letter
         of Credit Obligations).

              (B)  Designated Prepayments shall be allocated and applied to the
         applicable Loans owing to the respective Lenders, ratably, in
         accordance with such Lenders' respective Pro Rata Shares and, in the
         case of applications made to the Term Loan, shall be applied to
         installments due with respect thereto in the inverse order of maturity.

              (C)  In the event any balance of Designated Prepayments remains
         after application as aforesaid, the same shall be remitted to the
         Borrowers.

              (D)  In the event any Designated Prepayment, or portion thereof,
         is deposited in the Cash Collateral Account to provide Cash Collateral
         in respect of Letter of Credit Obligations as required by Section
         4.01(b)(ix)(A), the Letter of Credit Obligations shall be deemed
         reduced by the amount of such Cash Collateral for purposes of
         determination of Revolving Credit Availability.

              4.02. Payments.

              (a)  Manner and Time of Payment. All payments of principal of and
interest on the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations and other Obligations
(including, without limitation, fees and expenses) which are payable to the
Agent, the Lenders or any Issuing Bank shall be made in Dollars without
condition or reservation of right, and, with respect to payments made other than
from application of deposits in the Concentration Account, in immediately
available funds, delivered to the Agent (or, in the case of Reimbursement
Obligations, to the pertinent Issuing Bank) not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York
time) on the date and at the place due, to such account of the Agent (or such
Issuing Bank) as it may designate, for the account of the Agent, the Lenders or
such Issuing Bank, as the case may be; and funds received by the Agent,
including, without limitation, funds in respect of any Loans to be made on that
date, not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on any given Business Day shall
be credited against payment to be made that day and funds received by the Agent
after that time shall be deemed to have been

                                       49

<PAGE>

paid on the next succeeding Business Day. Payments actually received by the
Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, or any of them, shall
be paid to them by the Agent promptly after receipt thereof.

              (b)   Apportionment of Payments.

              (i)   Subject to the provisions of Section 4.01 and Section
         4.02(b)(v), all payments of principal and interest in respect of
         outstanding Loans, all payments in respect of Reimbursement
         Obligations, all payments of fees and all other payments in respect of
         any other Obligations, shall be allocated among such of the Lenders and
         Issuing Banks as are entitled thereto, in proportion to their
         respective Pro Rata Shares, or otherwise as provided herein. Except as
         provided in Section 4.02(b)(ii) with respect to payments and proceeds
         of Collateral received after the occurrence of an Event of Default, all
         such payments and any other amounts received by the Agent from or for
         the benefit of the Borrowers shall be applied:

              (A)  first, to pay principal of and interest on any portion of the
         Revolving Loans which the Agent may have advanced on behalf of any
         Lender other than Citicorp for which the Agent has not then been
         reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrowers,

              (B)  second, to pay principal of and interest on any Protective
         Advance for which the Agent or Lenders have not then been reimbursed by
         the Borrowers,

              (C)  third, to pay the principal of the Loans then due and payable
         and interest on such Loans then due and payable, ratably, based on the
         then outstanding balances of such Loans and the Lenders' respective Pro
         Rata Shares,

              (D)  fourth, to pay all other Obligations then due and payable,
         ratably, and

              (E)  fifth, as TIMCO, on behalf of the Borrowers, so designates.

              (ii)  After the occurrence of an Event of Default and while the
         same is continuing, the Agent shall apply all payments in respect of
         any Obligations and all proceeds of Collateral in the following order:

              (A)  first, to pay principal of and interest on any portion of the
         Revolving Loans which the Agent may have advanced on behalf of any
         Lender other than Citicorp for which the Agent has not then been
         reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrowers;

              (B)  second, to pay principal of and interest on any Protective
         Advance for which the Agent or Lenders have not then been reimbursed by
         the Borrowers;

              (C)  third, to pay Obligations in respect of any fees then due to
         the Agent, Lenders and Issuing Banks and any expense reimbursements or
         indemnities then due to the Agent, first, to the fees and expense
         reimbursements and indemnities due to the Agent until paid in full,
         second, to fees due to the Issuing Banks until paid in full, and then
         to fees due to the Lenders;

                                       50

<PAGE>

              (D)  fourth, to pay principal of and interest on Letter of Credit
         Obligations (or, to the extent such Obligations are contingent,
         deposited in the Cash Collateral Account to provide Cash Collateral in
         respect of such Obligations);

              (E)  fifth, to pay Obligations in respect of any expense
         reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Lenders and the Issuing
         Banks;

              (F)  sixth, to pay interest due in respect of the Loans, ratably,
         in accordance with the Lenders' respective Pro Rata Shares;

              (G)  seventh, to the ratable payment or prepayment of principal
         outstanding on all Loans;

              (H)  eighth, to the ratable payment of Hedge Agreements to which
         any of the Lenders or any Affiliate of any of the Lenders is a party;
         and

              (I)  ninth, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations.

The order of priority set forth in this Section 4.02(b) and the related
provisions of this Agreement are set forth solely to determine the rights and
priorities of the Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and other Holders as
among themselves.

              (iii) The Agent, in its sole discretion subject only to the terms
         of this Section 4.02(b)(iii), may pay from the proceeds of Loans made
         to the Borrowers hereunder, whether made following a request by TIMCO
         pursuant to Section 2.02 or this Section 4.02(b)(iii), all amounts
         payable by the Borrowers hereunder when due, including, without
         limitation, amounts payable with respect to payments of principal,
         interest, Reimbursement Obligations and fees and all reimbursements for
         expenses pursuant to Section 15.02. The Borrowers hereby irrevocably
         authorize the Lenders to make Loans, in each case, upon notice from the
         Agent as described in the following sentence for the purpose of paying
         principal, interest, Reimbursement Obligations and fees due from the
         Borrowers, reimbursing expenses pursuant to Section 15.02 and paying
         any and all other amounts due and payable by the Borrowers hereunder or
         under the Notes, and agrees that all such Loans so made shall be deemed
         to have been requested by TIMCO on behalf of the Borrowers pursuant to
         Section 2.02 as of the date of the aforementioned notice. The Agent
         shall request Loans on behalf of the Borrowers as described in the
         preceding sentence by notifying the Lenders by telecopy, telegram or
         other similar form of transmission (which notice the Agent shall
         thereafter promptly transmit to TIMCO), of the amount and Funding Date
         of the proposed Borrowing and that such Borrowing is being requested on
         the Borrowers' behalf pursuant to this Section 4.02(b)(iii). On the
         proposed Funding Date for such Loan, the Lenders shall make the
         requested Loans in accordance with the procedures and subject to the
         conditions specified in Section 2.02.

              (iv)  Subject to Section 4.02(b)(v), the Agent shall promptly
         distribute to each Lender and Issuing Bank at its primary address set
         forth on the appropriate signature page hereof or the signature page to
         the Assignment and Acceptance by which it became a Lender or Issuing
         Bank, or at such other address as a Lender, an Issuing Bank or other

                                       51

         Holder may request in writing, such funds as such Person may be
         entitled to receive hereunder; provided that the Agent shall under no
         circumstances be bound to inquire into or determine the validity, scope
         or priority of any interest or entitlement of any Holder and may
         suspend all payments or seek appropriate relief (including, without
         limitation, instructions from the Requisite Lenders or an action in the
         nature of interpleader) in the event of any doubt or dispute as to any
         apportionment or distribution contemplated hereby.

              (v)  In the event that any Lender fails to fund its Pro Rata Share
         of any Revolving Loan requested by TIMCO on behalf of the Borrowers
         which such Lender is obligated to fund under the terms of this
         Agreement (the funded portion of such Loan being hereinafter referred
         to as a "Non Pro Rata Loan"), until the earlier of such Lender's cure
         of such failure and the termination of the Revolving Credit
         Commitments, the proceeds of all amounts thereafter repaid to the Agent
         by the Borrowers and otherwise required to be applied to such Lender's
         share of all other Obligations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement
         shall be advanced to the Borrowers by the Agent on behalf of such
         Lender to cure, in full or in part, such failure by such Lender, but
         shall nevertheless be deemed to have been paid to such Lender in
         satisfaction of such other Obligations. Notwithstanding anything in
         this Agreement to the contrary:

              (A)  the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.02(b)(v) shall
         apply only with respect to the proceeds of payments of Obligations;

              (B)  a Lender shall be deemed to have cured its failure to fund
         its Pro Rata Share of any Revolving Loan at such time as an amount
         equal to such Lender's original Pro Rata Share of the requested
         principal portion of such Loan is fully funded to the Borrowers,
         whether made by such Lender itself or by operation of the terms of this
         Section 4.02(b)(v), and whether or not the Non Pro Rata Loan with
         respect thereto has been repaid;

              (C)  amounts advanced to the Borrowers to cure, in full or in
         part, any such Lender's failure to fund its Pro Rata Share of any
         Revolving Loan ("Cure Loans") shall bear interest at the rate in effect
         from time to time pursuant to the terms of Section 5.01; and

              (D)  regardless of whether or not an Event of Default has occurred
         or is continuing, and notwithstanding the instructions of TIMCO as to
         its desired application, all repayments of principal which, in
         accordance with the other terms of this Section 4.02, would be applied
         to the outstanding Revolving Loans shall be applied first, ratably to
         all such Loans constituting Non Pro Rata Loans, second, ratably to such
         Loans other than those constituting Non Pro Rata Loans or Cure Loans
         and, third, ratably to such Loans constituting Cure Loans.

              (c)  Payments on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment to be
made by the Borrowers hereunder or under the Notes is stated to be due on a day
which is not a Business Day, the payment shall instead be due on the next
succeeding Business Day, and any such

                                       52

<PAGE>

extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of
interest and fees hereunder.

              4.03.  Promise to Repay; Evidence of Indebtedness.

              (a)  Promise to Repay. The Borrowers, jointly and severally,
hereby agree to pay when due the principal amount of each Loan which is made to
them, and further agree to pay all unpaid interest accrued thereon, in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Notes. If requested in
writing by any Lender, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender
promptly following such request, promissory notes evidencing the Loans made by
such Lender, in form and substance acceptable to the Agent and in substantially
the form attached hereto as Exhibit E. On the Effective Date, the "Revolving
Notes" executed and delivered under the terms of the Predecessor Agreement and
the Supplemental Term Loan Note shall be delivered to the Agent for return to
TIMCO, subject to issuance of substitute Notes in accordance with the foregoing.

              (b)  Loan Account. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with
its usual practice an account or accounts (a "Loan Account") evidencing the
Indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan owing to
such Lender from time to time, including the amount of principal and interest
payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder and under the Notes.

              (c)  Control Account. The Register maintained by the Agent
pursuant to Section 15.01(c) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary
account for each Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded
(i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the type of Loan
comprising such Borrowing, (ii) the effective date and amount of each Assignment
and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and the parties thereto, (iii)
the amount of any principal and interest due and payable or to become due and
payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder or under the Notes, and (iv)
the amount of any sum received by the Agent from the Borrowers hereunder and
each Lender's share thereof. All entries in the Register shall be made in
accordance with the Agent's customary accounting practices as in effect from
time to time.

              (d)  Entries Binding. The entries made in the Register and each
Loan Account shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest
error; in the event there are discrepancies between the Register and any
individual Loan Account, entries in the Register shall govern.

              4.04.  Proceeds of Collateral; Concentration Account Arrangements.

              (a)  Establishment. The Borrowers and Parent shall establish and
maintain depository accounts and Parent shall cause the other Guarantors to
establish and maintain depository accounts subject to Collection Account
Agreements into which all collections of Receivables shall be deposited and
promptly transferred directly (or, so long as such account remains active,
through Bank of America account no. 003661094818 without delay) to the
Concentration Account. The Borrowers and Parent shall cause all proceeds of
Collateral to be deposited in the Concentration Account or pursuant to other
similar arrangements for the

                                       53

<PAGE>

collection of such amounts established by the Borrowers, Guarantors, and the
Agent. All collections of Receivables and proceeds of Collateral which are
received directly by any Borrower or any Guarantor shall be deemed to have been
received by such Borrower or such Guarantor as the Agent's trustee and, upon
such Borrower's or such Guarantor's receipt thereof, such Borrower or Guarantor
shall immediately transfer or cause to be transferred, all such amounts into the
Concentration Account in their original form. All collections of Receivables and
proceeds of other Collateral deposited in the Concentration Account as described
above shall be deemed to have been received by the Agent and will be held by the
Agent, for the benefit of the Holders, as Cash Collateral for the Obligations,
subject to the rights of the Borrower set forth in Section 4.04(b) and the
rights of the Agent set forth in Section 12.03.

              (b)  Pre-Default Withdrawals from Concentration Account. The Agent
shall, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or
unwaived, from time to time, (i) apply funds in the Concentration Account (A)
promptly after deposit therein to payment of the outstanding Loans, (B) to
payment of other Obligations as they become due and payable, (ii) invest funds
on deposit in the Concentration Account and accrued interest thereon, after
giving effect to the aforesaid payments, reinvest proceeds of any such
investments which may mature or be sold, and invest interest or other income
received from such investments, in such Cash Equivalents as TIMCO may select,
and (iii) upon TIMCO's request therefor on behalf of the Borrowers, transfer
funds on deposit in the Concentration Account after giving effect to the
payments described in clause (i) above to a Borrower's or Guarantor's designated
accounts. Such funds, interest, proceeds, or income which are not so disbursed,
invested or reinvested shall be deposited and held in the Concentration Account
for the benefit of the Holders as provided in Section 4.04(a). None of the
Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank shall be liable to any Borrower or
Guarantor for, or with respect to, any decline in value of amounts on deposit in
the Concentration Account which shall have been invested pursuant to this
Section 4.04(b). Cash Equivalents from time to time purchased and held pursuant
to this Section 4.04(b) shall constitute Cash Collateral and shall, for purposes
of this Agreement, be deemed to be part of the funds held in the Concentration
Account in amounts equal to their respective outstanding principal amounts.

              (c)  Reasonable Care. The Agent shall exercise reasonable care in
the custody and preservation of any funds held in the Concentration Account and
shall be deemed to have exercised such care if such funds are accorded treatment
substantially equivalent to that which the Agent accords its own like property,
it being understood that the Agent shall not have any responsibility for taking
any steps necessary to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any
such funds but may do so at its option. In the event the Agent takes any such
steps, it shall provide TIMCO with prompt written notice thereof. All reasonable
expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be for the sole account of the
Borrowers and shall constitute Obligations hereunder.

              4.05.  Cash Collateral Account.

              (a)  Investments. If requested by TIMCO, the Agent shall, so long
as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, from time to time
invest funds on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account and accrued interest
thereon, reinvest proceeds of any such investments which may mature or be sold,
and invest interest or other income received from any

                                       54

<PAGE>

such Investments, in each case in such Cash Equivalents as TIMCO may select.
Such funds, interest, proceeds or income which are not so invested or reinvested
in Cash Equivalents shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.05(b) and
Section 12.03, be deposited and held by the Agent in the Cash Collateral
Account. None of the Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank shall be liable to
any Borrower for, or with respect to, any decline in value of amounts on deposit
in the Cash Collateral Account which shall have been invested pursuant to this
Section 4.05(a) at the direction of TIMCO. Cash Equivalents from time to time
purchased and held pursuant to this Section 4.05(a) shall constitute Cash
Collateral and shall, for purposes of this Agreement, be deemed to be part of
the funds held in the Cash Collateral Account in amounts equal to their
respective outstanding principal amounts.

              (b)  Withdrawal Rights. No Borrower and no Person or entity
claiming on behalf of or through a Borrower shall have any right to withdraw any
of the funds held in the Cash Collateral Account, except that, upon the later to
occur of (i) the expiration or termination of all of the Letters of Credit in
accordance with their respective terms and (ii) the payment in full in cash of
the Obligations, any funds remaining in the Cash Collateral Account shall be
returned by the Agent to the Borrowers or paid to whomever may be legally
entitled thereto.

              (c)  Additional Deposits. If at any time the Agent determines that
any funds held in the Cash Collateral Account are subject to any interest,
right, claim or Lien of any Person other than the Agent, the Borrowers will,
forthwith upon demand by the Agent, pay to the Agent, as additional funds to be
deposited and held in the Cash Collateral Account, an amount equal to the amount
of funds subject to such interest, right, claim or Lien.

              (d)  Reasonable Care. The Agent shall exercise reasonable care in
the custody and preservation of any funds held in the Cash Collateral Account
and shall be deemed to have exercised such care if such funds are accorded
treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Agent accords its own like
property, it being understood that the Agent shall not have any responsibility
for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with
respect to any such funds but may do so at its option. In the event the Agent
takes any such steps, it shall provide TIMCO with prompt written notice thereof.
All reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be for the sole
account of the Borrowers and shall constitute Obligations hereunder.

                                INTEREST AND FEES

              5.01.  Interest on the Loans and Other Obligations.

              (a)   Rate of Interest. All Loans and the outstanding principal
balance of all other Obligations shall bear interest on the unpaid principal
amount thereof from the date such Loans are made and such other Obligations are
incurred until paid in full, except as otherwise provided in Section 5.01(c) or
Section 14.06, as follows:

              (i)   If a Base Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of
         (A) the Base Rate, as in effect from time to time as interest accrues
         plus (B) the applicable Base Rate Margin;

              (ii)  If a Eurodollar Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the
         sum of (A) the Eurodollar Rate determined for the applicable Eurodollar
         Interest Period plus (B) the applicable Eurodollar Rate Margin; and

              (iii) If the Term Loan, at a rate per annum equal to 12%.

         The applicable basis for determining the rate of interest on the
Revolving Loans shall be selected by TIMCO at the time a Notice of Borrowing or
a Notice of Conversion/Continuation is delivered by TIMCO to the Agent;
provided, however, that TIMCO may not select the Eurodollar Rate as the
applicable basis for determining the rate of interest on such Loan if at the
time of such selection an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default would
occur or has occurred and is continuing. If on any day any Revolving Loan is
outstanding with respect to which notice has not been timely delivered to the
Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement specifying the basis for
determining the rate of interest on that day, then for that day interest on that
Loan shall be determined by reference to the Base Rate.

              (b)   Interest Payments.

              (i)   Interest accrued on each Base Rate Loan and each Term Loan
         shall be payable in arrears (A) on the first day of each calendar month
         (for the immediately preceding calendar month), commencing on the first
         such day following the making of such Loan, (B) upon conversion thereof
         to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, and (C) if not theretofore paid in full, at
         maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Loan.

              (ii)  Interest accrued on each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be
         payable in arrears (A) on each Eurodollar Interest Payment Date
         applicable to such Loan and (B) if not theretofore paid in full, at
         maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Loan.

              (iii) Interest accrued on the principal balance of all other
         Obligations shall be payable in arrears (A) on the first day of each
         calendar month, commencing on the first such day following the
         incurrence of such Obligation, (B) upon repayment thereof in full or in
         part, and (C) if not theretofore paid in full, at the time such other
         Obligation becomes due and payable (whether by acceleration or
         otherwise).

                                       56

              (c)  Default Interest. Notwithstanding the rates of interest
specified in Section 5.01(a), effective immediately upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default, and for as long thereafter as such Event of Default shall be
continuing unwaived, the principal balance of all Revolving Loans and of all
other Obligations, shall bear interest at a rate which is two percent (2.0%) per
annum in excess of the rate of interest specified in Section 5.01(a)(i) and all
Term Loans shall bear interest at the rate of 14% per annum.

              (d)  Computation of Interest. Interest on all Obligations shall be
computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the period during
which interest accrues and a year of 360 days. In computing interest on any
Loan, the date of the making of the Loan shall be included and the date of
payment shall be excluded; provided, however, if a Loan is repaid on the same
day on which it is made, one (1) day's interest shall be paid on such Loan.

              (e)  Conversion or Continuation.

              (i)  The Borrowers shall have the option (A) to convert at any
         time all or any part of outstanding Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate
         Loans; (B) to convert all or any part of outstanding Eurodollar Rate
         Loans having Eurodollar Interest Periods which expire on the same date
         to Base Rate Loans on such expiration date; or (C) to continue all or
         any part of an outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loan at the expiry of the
         applicable Eurodollar Interest Period, and the succeeding Eurodollar
         Interest Period of such continued Revolving Loans shall commence on
         such expiration date; provided, however, no such outstanding Loan may
         be continued as, or be converted into, a Eurodollar Rate Loan (1) if
         the continuation of, or the conversion into, would violate any of the
         provisions of Section 5.03 or (2) if an Event of Default or a Potential
         Event of Default would occur or has occurred and is continuing
         unwaived. Any conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans
         under this Section 5.01(e) shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000
         and in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount except
         in the case of a conversion into or a continuation of an entire
         Borrowing or Non-Pro Rata Loans.

              (ii) To convert or continue a Loan under Section 5.01(e)(i), TIMCO
         shall deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation to the Agent no later
         than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) at least three (3) Business Days in
         advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date. A Notice of
         Conversion/Continuation shall specify (A) the proposed
         conversion/continuation date (which shall be a Business Day), (B) the
         principal amount of the Revolving Loan to be converted/continued, (C)
         whether such Loan shall be converted and/or continued, and (D) in the
         case of a conversion to, or continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan,
         the requested Eurodollar Interest Period. In lieu of delivering a
         Notice of Conversion/Continuation, TIMCO may give the Agent telephonic
         notice of any proposed conversion/continuation by the time required
         under this Section 5.01(e)(ii), and such notice shall be confirmed in
         writing delivered to the Agent by facsimile transmission promptly (but
         in no event later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the same day), the
         original of which facsimile copy shall be delivered to the Agent within
         three (3) days after the date of such transmission. Promptly after
         receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation under this Section
         5.01(e)(ii) (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof), the Agent shall
         notify each Lender by telecopy, or other similar form of

                                       57

<PAGE>

         transmission, of the proposed conversion/continuation. Any Notice of
         Conversion/Continuation for conversion to, or continuation of, a
         Revolving Loan (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) shall be
         irrevocable, and the Borrowers shall be bound to convert or continue in
         accordance therewith.

              5.02.  Fees.

              (a)  Letter of Credit Fee. In addition to any charges paid
pursuant to Section 3.01(g), the Borrowers shall pay (i) to the Issuing Bank, a
fee (the "Fronting Fee") accruing at a rate equal to one-quarter of one percent
(0.25%) per annum on the undrawn face amount of each outstanding Letter of
Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, payable quarterly, in arrears, on the first
day of each calendar quarter (for the immediately preceding calendar quarter)
and (ii) to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders based on their respective
Pro Rata Shares, a fee (the "Letter of Credit Fee") accruing at a rate equal to
the Eurodollar Rate Margin applicable from time to time on the undrawn face
amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit, payable quarterly, in arrears, on
the first day of each calendar quarter (for the immediately preceding calendar
quarter); provided, however, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and for
so long thereafter as such Event of Default shall be continuing, the rate at
which the (A) Fronting Fee shall accrue and be payable shall be equal to two and
one-quarter percent (2.25%) per annum and (B) Letter of Credit Fee shall accrue
and be payable at a rate equal to the Eurodollar Rate Margin applicable at the
time of such occurrence plus two percent (2.00%) per annum.

              (b)  Unused Commitment Fee.

              (i)  The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent, for the account of the
         Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, a fee (the
         "Unused Commitment Fee"), accruing at the rate of one-half of one
         percent (0.50%) per annum on the average daily amount by which the
         Revolving Credit Commitments exceed the sum of (A) the outstanding
         principal amount of the Revolving Loans, plus (B) the outstanding
         Reimbursement Obligations, plus (C) the aggregate undrawn face amount
         of all outstanding Letters of Credit, for the period commencing on the
         Effective Date and ending on the Revolving Credit Termination Date,
         such Unused Commitment Fee being payable (I) monthly, in arrears,
         commencing on the first day of the calendar month next succeeding the
         Effective Date and (II) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

              (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Lender
         fails to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Revolving Loan requested by the
         Borrowers which such Lender is obligated to fund under the terms of
         this Agreement, (A) such Lender shall not be entitled to any Unused
         Commitment Fees with respect to its Revolving Credit Commitment until
         such failure has been cured in accordance with Section 4.02(b)(v)(B)
         and (B) until such time, the Unused Commitment Fee shall accrue in
         favor of the Lenders which have funded their respective Pro Rata Shares
         of such requested Revolving Loan, shall be allocated among such
         performing Lenders ratably based upon their relative Revolving Credit
         Commitments, and shall be calculated based upon the average amount by
         which the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of such performing
         Lenders exceeds the sum of (1) the outstanding principal amount of the
         Revolving Loans owing to such performing Lenders, plus (2) the
         outstanding Reimbursement Obligations owing to such

                                       58

<PAGE>

         performing Lenders, plus (3) the aggregate participation interests of
         such performing Lenders arising pursuant to Section 3.01(e) with
         respect to undrawn and outstanding Letters of Credit.

              (c)  Amendment Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent, on the
Effective Date, for the account of the Lenders in accordance with their
respective Pro Rata Shares, a fee in the amount of $185,000, which fee shall be
earned on the Effective Date and non-refundable when paid.

              (d)  Other Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent, in addition
to any other fee referenced in this Agreement, those certain fees described in
the Fee Letter.

              (e)  Calculation and Payment of Fees. All of the above fees which
accrue from time to time shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number
of days elapsed in a 360 day year. All of the above fees shall be payable in
addition to, and not in lieu of, interest, compensation, expense reimbursements,
indemnification and other Obligations. Fees shall be payable to the Agent at its
office in New York, New York in immediately available funds. All fees shall be
fully earned and nonrefundable when paid. All fees specified or referred to
(directly or by reference to an agreement pursuant to which such fees are
payable) in this Agreement due to the Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender
shall bear interest, if not paid when due, at the interest rate described in
Section 5.01(c), shall constitute Obligations and shall be secured by all of the
Collateral.

              5.03.  Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans. With
respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans:

              (a)  Amount of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Each Eurodollar Rate Loan
shall be for a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of
$100,000 in excess of that amount.

              (b)  Determination of Eurodollar Interest Period. By giving notice
as set forth in Section 2.01(b) (with respect to a Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate
Loans) or Section 5.01(e) (with respect to a conversion into or continuation of
Eurodollar Rate Loans), the Borrowers shall have the option, subject to the
provisions of this Section 5.03, to select an interest period (each a
"Eurodollar Interest Period") to apply to the Revolving Loans described in such
notice, subject to the following provisions:

              (i)    Borrowers may only select, as to a particular Borrowing of
         Eurodollar Rate Loans, a Eurodollar Interest Period of one (1), three
         (3), six (6), or, if available to all Lenders, nine (9) or twelve (12)
         months in duration;

              (ii)   In the case of immediately successive Eurodollar Interest
         Periods applicable to a Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans, each
         successive Eurodollar Interest Period shall commence on the day on
         which the next preceding Eurodollar Interest Period expires;

              (iii)  If any Eurodollar Interest Period would otherwise expire on
         a day which is not a Business Day, such Eurodollar Interest Period
         shall be extended to expire on the next succeeding Business Day if the
         next succeeding Business Day occurs in the same

                                       59

<PAGE>

         calendar month, and if there will be no succeeding Business Day in such
         calendar month, the Eurodollar Interest Period shall expire on the
         immediately preceding Business Day;

              (iv)   The Borrowers may not select a Eurodollar Interest Period
         as to any Loan if such Eurodollar Interest Period terminates later than
         the scheduled Revolving Credit Termination Date;

              (v)   The Borrowers may not select a Eurodollar Interest Period
         with respect to any portion of principal of a Loan which extends beyond
         a date on which the Borrowers are required to make a scheduled payment
         of such portion of principal; and

              (vi)  There shall be no more than eight (8) Eurodollar Interest
         Periods in effect at any one time.

              (c)   Determination of Interest Rate. As soon as practicable on
the second Business Day prior to the first day of each Eurodollar Interest
Period (the "Eurodollar Interest Rate Determination Date"), the Agent shall
determine (pursuant to the procedures set forth in the definition of "Eurodollar
Rate") the interest rate which shall apply to the Eurodollar Rate Loans for
which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Eurodollar
Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by
telephone confirmed in writing) to TIMCO and to each Lender. The Agent's
determination shall be presumed to be correct, absent manifest error, and shall
be binding upon the Borrowers.

              (d)   Interest Rate Unascertainable, Inadequate or Unfair. In the
event that at least one (1) Business Day before the Eurodollar Interest Rate
Determination Date:

              (i)   the Agent is advised by Citibank that deposits in Dollars
         (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered by Citibank in the
         London interbank market for such Eurodollar Interest Period; or

              (ii)  the Agent determines that adequate and fair means do not
         exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rates by reference to
         which the Eurodollar Rate then being determined is to be fixed; or

              (iii) the Requisite Lenders advise the Agent that the Eurodollar
         Rate for Eurodollar Rate Loans comprising such Borrowing will not
         adequately reflect the cost to such Requisite Lenders of obtaining
         funds in Dollars in the London interbank market in the amount
         substantially equal to such Lenders' Eurodollar Rate Loans in Dollars
         and for a period equal to such Eurodollar Interest Period;

then the Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to TIMCO, whereupon (until
the Agent notifies TIMCO that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension
no longer exist) the right of the Borrowers to elect to have Loans bear interest
based upon the Eurodollar Rate shall be suspended and each outstanding
Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be converted into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of
the then current Eurodollar Interest Period therefor, notwithstanding any prior
election by the Borrowers to the contrary.

                                       60

<PAGE>

              (e)  Booking of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Any Lender may make, carry
or transfer Eurodollar Rate Loans at, to, or for the account of, its Eurodollar
Lending Office or Eurodollar Affiliate or its other offices or Affiliates. No
Lender shall be entitled, however, to receive any greater amount under Article
XIV as a result of the transfer of any such Eurodollar Rate Loan to any office
(other than such Eurodollar Lending Office) or any Affiliate (other than such
Eurodollar Affiliate) than such Lender would have been entitled to receive
immediately prior thereto, unless (i) the transfer occurred at a time when
circumstances giving rise to the claim for such greater amount did not exist and
(ii) such claim would have arisen even if such transfer had not occurred.

              (f)  Affiliates Not Obligated. No Eurodollar Affiliate or other
Affiliate of any Lender shall be deemed a party to this Agreement or shall have
any liability or obligation under this Agreement.

     to the Agent, each of which is in full force and effect, has not been
     modified or amended except to the extent indicated therein or as may be
     permitted pursuant to Section 10.14 and, to the best of each Borrower's
     knowledge, there are no defaults under such Organizational Documents and no
     events which, with the passage of time or giving of notice or both, would
     constitute a default under such Organizational Documents.

          (b)    Authority.

          (i)    Each Borrower and Guarantor has the requisite power and
     authority (A) to execute, deliver and perform each of the Loan Documents,
     the TROL Documents and the BofA Documents which are required to be executed
     on behalf of such Person as required by this Agreement on or prior to the
     Effective Date and (B) to file or record the Loan Documents which have been
     filed or recorded by it as required by this Agreement on or prior to the
     Effective Date, with any Governmental Authority.

          (ii)   The execution, delivery, performance and filing or recording,
     as the case may be, of each of the agreements or documents which are
     required to be executed, filed or recorded by or on behalf of the Borrowers
     and the Guarantors in connection with or as required by this Agreement on
     or prior to the Effective Date and to which any Borrower or any Guarantor
     is party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby are
     within such Person's, as applicable, corporate powers, have been duly
     authorized by all necessary corporate action and such authorization has not
     been rescinded. No other corporate action or proceedings on the part of any
     Borrower or any Guarantor are necessary to consummate such transactions.

          (iii)  Each of the Loan Documents to which any Borrower or any
     Guarantor is a party (A) has been duly executed, delivered, filed or
     recorded, as the case may be, on behalf of such Person, as applicable, (B)
     where applicable, creates valid and perfected first Liens in the Collateral
     covered thereby (except for Customary Permitted Liens which might be senior
     to the Liens granted under the Loan Documents) securing the payment of all
     of the obligations purported to be secured thereby, (C) constitutes such
     Person's, as applicable, legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable
     against such Person, as applicable, in accordance with its terms, and (D)
     is in full force and effect and no material term or condition thereof has
     been amended, modified or waived from the terms and conditions contained
     therein as delivered to the Agent without the prior written consent of the
     Lenders required to consent to such amendment, modification or waiver. All
     parties to the Loan Documents have performed and complied with all the
     terms, provisions, agreements and conditions set forth therein and required
     to be performed or complied with by such parties on or before the Effective
     Date, all filings and recordings and other actions which are necessary or

<PAGE>

          (iv)   Each of the BofA Documents and TROL Documents to which any
     Borrower or any Guarantor is a party is in full force and effect. No
     material term or condition of any BofA Document has been amended, modified
     or waived from the terms and conditions contained therein as delivered to
     the Agent, without the prior written consent of the Requisite Lenders and
     no default or breach of any covenant thereunder by any party thereto
     exists. Since the Effective Date, no amendment or other modification of any
     TROL Document has been effected which would have the effect of shortening
     the tenor of the obligations thereunder, increasing the pricing associated
     with such obligations (other than due to Transaction Costs otherwise
     permitted under the terms of this Agreement), accelerating the scheduled
     payments due thereunder, or modifying the prepayment requirements
     thereunder without the prior written consent of the Requisite Lenders and
     no default or breach of any covenant thereunder by any party thereto has
     occurred and is continuing without cure or waiver.

          (c)    Corporate Affiliates; Ownership of Equity Securities. Schedule
7.01-C attached hereto (i) contains a diagram indicating the corporate structure

partnership, joint venture, or other equity interest and indicates the nature of
such interest with respect to each Person included in such diagram; and (ii)
accurately sets forth (A) the correct legal name of such Person, the
jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization and the jurisdictions in which
it is qualified to transact business as a foreign corporation or otherwise, and
(B) the authorized, issued and outstanding shares or interests of each class of
equity Securities of the Parent and each such Person, and, with respect to
Subsidiaries of the Parent, the owners of such shares or interests. None of such
issued and outstanding Securities is subject to any vesting, redemption, or
repurchase agreement (other than those Securities issued with respect to the PIK
Subordinated Debt), and there are no warrants or options (other than Permitted
Equity Securities Options) outstanding with respect to such Securities. The
outstanding Capital Stock of each Borrower and each Guarantor is duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and (except for the
Capital Stock of the Parent) is not Margin Stock, are free and clear of all
Liens, except for Liens granted pursuant to the Loan Documents, are not subject
to any option or purchase rights, conversion or exchange rights, call,
commitment or claim of any right, title or interest therein or thereto, and have
been issued in compliance with all applicable Requirements of Law.

          (d)    No Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance of each of
the Loan Documents to which any Borrower or any Guarantor is a party do not and
will not (i) conflict with the Organizational Documents of such Person a party
thereto, (ii) to the best of each Borrower's and each Guarantor's knowledge,
constitute a tortious interference with any Contractual Obligation of any Person
or conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with or without notice or
lapse of time or both) a default under any Requirement of Law or Contractual
Obligation (including without limitation, the TROL Documents, the BofA
Documents, agreements relating to the Senior Subordinated Notes, and, from and
after issuance of the Junior Subordinated Notes, agreements relating thereto) of
any Borrower or any Guarantor or require termination of any Contractual
Obligation, the consequences of which violation, breach, default or termination,
singly or in the aggregate, will result, or is reasonably likely to result, in a
Material Adverse Effect or may subject the Agent, any of the Lenders or any of

contemplated by the Loan Documents, or (iv) require any approval of the
shareholders of such Person.

          (e)    Governmental Consents. The execution, delivery and performance

filings, consents or notices which have been made, obtained or given and (ii)
filings necessary to create or perfect security interests in the Collateral.

          (f)    Governmental Regulation. No Borrower or Guarantor is subject to

or any other federal or state statute or regulation which limits its ability to
incur indebtedness or its ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by

          (g)    Restricted Junior Payments. During the period commencing on
December 31, 2001 and ending on the Effective Date, no Borrower or Guarantor

Property for, any payment or distribution (other than by dividend of the amounts
required to enable the Parent to make its cash interest payments with respect to

Restricted Junior Payment under this Agreement, or agreed to do so.

          (h)    Financial Position. Complete and accurate copies of the
following Financial Statements, materials and other information have been
delivered to the Agent: (i) the Projections and (ii) the audited financial

results of operations and cash flows for each of the periods covered thereby of
the applicable Person as at the respective dates thereof. No Borrower or

Effective Date.

          (i)    Projections. The Projections are reasonable based on the
information available to Parent at the time so furnished.

          (j)    Indebtedness. Schedule 1.01.5 sets forth all Indebtedness for

are no defaults in the payment of principal or interest on any Indebtedness of
any Borrower or Guarantor and no payments under such Indebtedness have been
deferred or extended beyond their stated maturity (except as disclosed on such
Schedule).

          (k)    Litigation; Adverse Effects. There is no action, suit,
proceeding, Claim, investigation or arbitration before or by any Governmental
Authority or private arbitrator pending or, to the knowledge of any Borrower,
threatened against any Borrower or any Guarantor or any of their respective
Property (i) challenging the validity or the enforceability of any of the Loan
Documents, (ii) which will, or is reasonably likely to, result in any Material

                                       69

<PAGE>

Adverse Effect, or (iii) under the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt
Organizations Act or any similar federal or state statute or law under any
jurisdiction outside of the United States where such Person is a defendant in a
criminal indictment that provides for the forfeiture of assets to any
Governmental Authority as a criminal penalty. There is no material loss
contingency within the meaning of GAAP which has not been reflected in the
Financial Statements of the Parent and its Subsidiaries. No Borrower or
Guarantor is subject to or in default with respect to any final judgment, writ,
injunction, restraining order or order of any nature, decree, rule or regulation
of any court or Governmental Authority which will, or is reasonably likely to,
result in a Material Adverse Effect. All pending litigation to which any
Borrower or Guarantor is a party as of the Effective Date is disclosed on
Schedule 7.01-K attached hereto and made a part hereof.

          (l)    Predecessor Agreement Events of Default; No Material Adverse
Effect. All Events of Default existing on the Effective Date (prior to giving
effect to this Agreement) under the terms of the Predecessor Agreement are
disclosed on Schedule 7.01-L attached hereto and made a part hereof. Since April
19, 2002, there has occurred no event with respect to any Borrower or any
Guarantor which has resulted, or is reasonably likely to result, in a Material
Adverse Effect.

          (m)    Payment of Taxes. Except as disclosed on Schedule 7.01-M
attached hereto and made a part hereof, all tax returns and reports of each
Borrower and Guarantor required to be filed have been timely filed or the filing
date therefor has been properly extended, and all taxes, assessments, fees and
other charges of Governmental Authorities thereupon and upon or relating to
their respective Properties, assets, income and franchises which are shown in
such returns or reports to be due and payable have been paid, except to the
extent (i) such taxes, assessments, fees and other charges are being contested
in good faith by an appropriate proceeding diligently pursued as permitted by
the terms of Section 9.04 and (ii) non-payment of the amounts thereof would not,
individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of
the Parent or Borrowers has any knowledge of any proposed tax assessment against
any Borrower or any Guarantor, or any Property of any of them, that will, or is
reasonably likely to, result in a Material Adverse Effect.

          (n)    Performance. No Borrower or Guarantor has received any notice,
citation, or allegation, or has actual knowledge, that (i) any of them is in
default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations,
covenants or conditions contained in any Contractual Obligation applicable to
any of them, (ii) any of the Property of any such Person is in violation of any
Requirement of Law, or (iii) any condition exists which, with the giving of
notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute a default with respect to
any such Contractual Obligation, in each case, except where such default or
defaults, if any, will not, or is not reasonably likely to, result in a Material
Adverse Effect.

          (o)    Disclosure. The representations and warranties of Parent, each
Borrower, and each Guarantor contained in the Loan Documents, and all
certificates and other documents delivered to the Agent pursuant to the terms
thereof, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state

<PAGE>

the Issuing Banks or the Lenders in regard to any matter which will, or is
reasonably likely to, result in a Material Adverse Effect.

          (p)    Requirements of Law. Each of the Borrowers and Guarantors is in
compliance with all Requirements of Law applicable to it and its respective
business, in each case where the failure to so comply individually or in the
aggregate will, or is reasonably likely to, result in a Material Adverse Effect.

          (q)    Environmental Matters.

          (i)    Except as disclosed on Schedule 7.01-Q attached hereto:

          (A)     the operations of each Borrower and each Guarantor and their
     respective Properties comply in all material respects with all applicable

     all terms and conditions of such Permits;

          (C)     no Borrower or Guarantor, or any of their present or past
     Property or operations, is subject to or the subject of any judicial or

     agreement, or settlement respecting (I) any Environmental, Health or Safety
     Requirements of Law, (II) any Remedial Action, (III) any Claims or
     Liabilities and Costs arising from the Release or threatened Release of a
     Contaminant into the environment, or (IV) any violation of or liability
     under any Environmental, Health or Safety Requirement of Law that a
     Borrower or such Guarantor reasonably believes will result in an
     expenditure over $250,000;

          (D)     no Borrower or Guarantor has filed any notice under any
     applicable Requirement of Law (I) reporting a Release of a Contaminant,
     (II) under Section 103(c) of CERCLA, indicating past or present treatment,
     storage or disposal of a hazardous waste, as that term is defined under 40

<PAGE>

          (G)    there is not now in connection with or resulting from any
     Borrower's or any Guarantor's operations, nor, to any Borrower's knowledge,
     has there ever been on or in any of the Property (I) any treatment,
     recycling, storage or disposal of any hazardous waste requiring a Permit
     under 40 C.F.R. Parts 264 and 265 or any state equivalent,(II) any
     landfill, waste pile, underground storage tank or surface impoundment,
     (III) any asbestos-containing material; or (IV) a Release of any
     polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) used in hydraulic oils, electrical
     transformers or other Equipment;

          (H)    no Borrower or Guarantor has received any notice or Claim to
     the effect that it is or may be liable to any Person as a result of the
     Release or threatened Release of a Contaminant into the environment;

          (ii)   each Borrower and each Guarantor is conducting and will
     continue to conduct its respective business and operations in an
     environmentally responsible manner in material compliance with
     Environmental, Health or Safety Requirements of Law and no Borrower or

     health or safety matters that have or will result in cash expenditures by a
     Borrower or Guarantor in excess of $250,000 in the aggregate for any
     calendar year ending after the Effective Date.

          (r)    ERISA. No Borrower, Guarantor, or ERISA Affiliate maintains or
contributes to any Benefit Plan or Multiemployer Plan other than those listed on
Schedule 7.01-R attached hereto. Each Plan which is intended to be qualified
under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code as currently in effect either
(i) has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS that the Plan is
so qualified or (ii) an application for determination of such tax-qualified
status will be made to the IRS prior to the end of the applicable remedial
amendment period under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code as currently
in effect, and each Borrower, Guarantor, and ERISA Affiliate shall diligently
seek to obtain a determination letter with respect to such application. Except
as identified on Schedule 7.01-R, no Borrower or Guarantor maintains or
contributes to any employee welfare benefit plan within the meaning of Section

                                       72

<PAGE>

other than as required by Section 601 of ERISA. Each Borrower and each of the
Guarantors are in compliance in all material respects with the responsibilities,
obligations and duties imposed on it by ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code with
respect to all Plans. No Benefit Plan has incurred any accumulated funding
deficiency (as defined in Sections 302(a)(2) of ERISA and 412(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code) whether or not waived. No Borrower, ERISA Affiliate, or any
fiduciary of any Plan which is not a Multiemployer Plan (i) has engaged in a
nonexempt prohibited transaction described in Sections 406 of ERISA or 4975 of
the Internal Revenue Code or (ii) has taken or failed to take any action which
would constitute or result in a Termination Event. No Borrower or ERISA
Affiliate has any potential liability under Sections 4063, 4064, 4069, 4204 or
4212(c) of ERISA. No Borrower or ERISA Affiliate has incurred any liability to
the PBGC which remains outstanding other than the payment of premiums, and there
are no premium payments which have become due which are unpaid. Schedule B to
the most recent annual report filed with the IRS with respect to each Benefit
Plan and furnished to the Agent is complete and accurate in all material
respects. Since the date of each such Schedule B, there has been no material
adverse change in the funding status or financial condition of the Benefit Plan
relating to such Schedule B. No Borrower or ERISA Affiliate has (i) failed to
make a required contribution or payment to a Multiemployer Plan or (ii) made a
complete or partial withdrawal under Sections 4203 or 4205 of ERISA from a
Multiemployer Plan. No Borrower or ERISA Affiliate has failed to make a required
installment or any other required payment under Section 412 of the Internal
Revenue Code on or before the due date for such installment or other payment. No
Borrower or ERISA Affiliate is required to provide security to a Benefit Plan
under Section 401(a)(29) of the Internal Revenue Code due to a Benefit Plan
amendment that results in an increase in current liability for the plan year.
Except as disclosed on Schedule 7.01-R, no Borrower or Guarantor, by reason of
the transactions contemplated hereby has any obligation to make any payment to
any employee pursuant to any Plan or existing contract or arrangement. Each
Borrower has given to the Agent copies of all of the following: each Benefit
Plan and related trust agreement (including all amendments to such Plan and
trust) in existence or committed to as of the Effective Date and in respect of
which such Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate is currently an "employer" as defined
in section 3(5) of ERISA, and the most recent summary plan description,
actuarial report, determination letter issued by the IRS and Form 5500 filed in
respect of each such Benefit Plan in existence; a listing of all of the
Multiemployer Plans with the aggregate amount of the most recent annual
contributions required to be made by such Borrower and all ERISA Affiliates to
each such Multiemployer Plan, any information which has been provided to such
Borrower or an ERISA Affiliate regarding withdrawal liability under any
Multiemployer Plan and the collective bargaining agreement pursuant to which
such contribution is required to be made.

          (s)    Labor Matters. No Borrower or Guarantor is a party to any
collective bargaining agreement.

          (t)    Securities Activities. No Borrower or Guarantor is engaged in
the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying
Margin Stock.

          (u)    Solvency. After giving effect to this Agreement the Loans
outstanding on or to be made and the Letters of Credit outstanding on or to be
issued on the Effective Date or such other date as Loans requested hereunder are
made or Letters of Credit requested hereunder are

                                       73

<PAGE>

issued, and the disbursement of the proceeds of such Loans pursuant to TIMCO's
instructions, each Borrower and each Guarantor is Solvent.

          (v)    Patents, Trademarks, Permits, Etc.; Government Approvals.

          (i)    Each Borrower and Guarantor, as applicable, owns, is licensed
     or otherwise has the lawful right to use, or has all Permits, patents,
     trademarks, trade names, copyrights, technology, know-how, permits and
     processes used in or necessary for the conduct of its respective business
     as currently conducted which are material to its condition (financial or
     otherwise), operations, performance and prospects. No claims are pending
     or, to the best of each Borrower's knowledge following diligent inquiry,
     threatened that any Borrower or Guarantor is infringing or otherwise
     adversely affecting the rights of any Person with respect to such Permits
     and other governmental approvals, patents, trademarks, trade names,
     copyrights, technology, know-how, permits and processes, except for such
     claims and infringements as do not, in the aggregate, give rise to any
     liability on the part of any Borrower or Guarantor which will, or is
     reasonably likely to, result in a Material Adverse Effect.

          (ii)   The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan
     Documents will not impair the ownership of or rights under (or the license
     or other right to use, as the case may be) any Permits and governmental
     approvals, patents, trademarks, trade names, copyrights, technology,
     know-how, permits or processes by any Borrower or any Guarantor in any
     manner which will, or is reasonably likely to, result in a Material Adverse
     Effect.

          (w)    Assets and Properties. Each Borrower and Guarantor has good and
marketable title to all of the assets and Property (tangible and intangible)
owned by it (except insofar as marketability may be limited by any laws or
regulations of any Governmental Authority affecting such assets), and all such
assets and Property are free and clear of all Liens, except Liens securing the
Obligations and Liens permitted under Section 10.03. Substantially all of the
assets and Property owned by, leased to, or used by any Borrower and/or
Guarantor is in adequate operating condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear
excepted (other than Inventory classified as "AR", "R", and "BER"), is free and
clear of any known defects except such defects as do not substantially interfere
with the continued use thereof in the conduct of normal operations, and is able
to serve the function for which they are currently being used, except in each
case where the failure of such asset to meet such requirements would not, or is
not reasonably likely to, result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither this
Agreement nor any other Loan Document, nor any transaction contemplated under
any such agreement, will affect any right, title or interest of any Borrower or
any Guarantor in and to any of such assets in a manner that would, or is
reasonably likely to, result in a Material Adverse Effect.

          (x)    Insurance. Schedule 7.01-X attached hereto accurately sets
forth as of the Effective Date all insurance policies and programs currently in
effect with respect to the respective Property and assets and business of each
Borrower and Guarantor, specifying for each such policy and program, (i) the
amount thereof, (ii) the risks insured against thereby, (iii) the name of the
insurer and each insured party thereunder, (iv) the policy or other
identification number thereof, (v) the expiration date thereof, (vi) the annual
premium with respect thereto, and

                                       74

<PAGE>

(vii) a list of claims and awards made thereunder during the immediately
preceding three (3) calendar years. TIMCO has delivered to the Agent copies of
all such insurance policies. Such insurance policies and programs are currently
in full force and effect, in compliance with the requirements of Section 9.05
and are in amounts sufficient to cover the replacement value of the respective
Property and assets of the Borrowers and Guarantors.

          (y)   Pledge of Securities. The grant and perfection of the security
interest in the equity Securities of Borrowers, each Borrower's Subsidiaries,
and each Guarantor other than the Parent as contemplated by the Loan Documents
is not made in violation of any Requirement of Law.

                                       75

shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, file all tax returns and

Documents is to be made (whether then due or not due), after giving effect to
the Obligations outstanding as of the close of business of the Agent on such
preceding day, the Revolving Credit Availability is not at least equal to the
amount equal to at least $3,000,000 (exclusive of the Borrowing Base reserve
then in effect pursuant to clause (xii) of the definition of "Borrowing Base".

          An Event of Default shall be deemed "continuing" until cured or waived
in writing in accordance with Section 15.07.

          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in clause (e)(i)
above, (A) no Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred due to the
occurrence of any breach, default or event of default, or any other condition
under any TROL Document, unless the effect thereof is to cause an acceleration,
mandatory redemption or other required repurchase of any Indebtedness arising
under the TROL Documents, or the holder(s) of such Indebtedness shall not have
waived the subject default or event of default under the TROL Documents and (B)
no Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred due to the non-payment of
the BofA 2002 Note on the stated maturity thereof if, and only if, (1) the
letter of credit naming Bank of America, N.A. as beneficiary issued in support
of the BofA 2002 Note is drawn and the proceeds thereof applied in payment of
the BofA 2002 Note, and (2) no holder of the BofA 2002 Note, no guarantor
thereof, and no Person subrogated to the rights of the holder of the BofA 2002
Note shall initiate any action contrary to the terms of the BofA Intercreditor
Agreement or Shareholder Intercreditor Agreement, or raise any defense to any of
the terms thereof.

          12.02. Rights and Remedies.

          (a) Acceleration and Termination. Upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default described in Sections 12.01(f) or 12.01(g) or 12.01(h), the Lenders'
respective obligations to make Loans under the Revolving Credit Commitments
shall automatically and immediately terminate and the unpaid principal amount
of, and any and all accrued interest on, the Obligations and all accrued fees
shall automatically become immediately due and payable, without presentment,
demand, or protest or other requirements of any kind (including, without
limitation, valuation and appraisement, diligence, presentment, notice of intent
to demand or accelerate and of acceleration), all of which are hereby expressly
waived by the Borrowers; and upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
any other Event of Default, the Agent shall at the request, or may with the
consent, of the Requisite Lenders, by written notice to the Borrowers, (i)
declare that the Lenders' respective obligations to make Loans under the
Revolving Credit Commitments are terminated, whereupon such obligation of each
Lender to make any Loan hereunder and of each Lender or Issuing Bank to issue or
participate in any Letter of Credit not then issued shall immediately terminate,
and/or (ii) declare the unpaid principal amount of and any and all accrued and
unpaid interest on the Obligations to be, and the same shall thereupon be,
immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, or protest or other
requirements of any kind (including, without limitation, valuation and
appraisement, diligence, presentment, notice of intent to demand or accelerate
and of acceleration), all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers.

                                      104

<PAGE>

          (b) Deposit for Letters of Credit. In addition, after the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrowers shall, promptly
upon demand by the Agent, deliver to the Agent, Cash Collateral in such form as
requested by the Agent for deposit in the Cash Collateral Account, together with
such endorsements, and execution and delivery of such documents and instruments
as the Agent may request in order to perfect or protect the Agent's Lien with
respect thereto, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the then outstanding
Letter of Credit Obligations.

          (c) Rescission. If at any time after termination of the Lenders'
obligations to make Loans under the Revolving Credit Commitments and/or
acceleration of the maturity of the Loans, the Borrowers shall pay all arrears
of interest and all payments on account of principal of the Loans and
Reimbursement Obligations which shall have become due otherwise than by
acceleration (with interest on principal and, to the extent permitted by law, on
overdue interest, at the rates specified in this Agreement) and all Events of
Default and Potential Events of Default (other than nonpayment of principal of
and accrued interest on the Loans due and payable solely by virtue of
acceleration) shall be remedied or waived pursuant to Section 15.07, then upon
the written consent of the Requisite Lenders and written notice to the
Borrowers, the termination of Lenders' respective obligations to make Loans
under the Revolving Credit Commitments and the respective Lenders' and Issuing
Banks' obligations to participate in or issue Letters of Credit and/or the
aforesaid acceleration and its consequences may be rescinded and annulled; but
such action shall not affect any subsequent Event of Default or Potential Event
of Default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon. The provisions of
the preceding sentence are intended merely to bind the Lenders and the Issuing
Banks to a decision which may be made at the election of the Requisite Lenders;
they are not intended to benefit any Borrower and do not give any Borrower the
right to require the Lenders to rescind or annul any termination of the
aforesaid obligations of the Lenders or Issuing Banks or any acceleration
hereunder, even if the conditions set forth herein are met.

          (d) Enforcement. Each Borrower acknowledges that in the event the
Borrower or any Guarantor fails to perform, observe or discharge any of their
respective obligations or liabilities under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, any remedy of law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Agent, the
Issuing Banks and the Lenders; therefore, each Borrower agrees that the Agent,
the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall be entitled to temporary and permanent
injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual
damages.

          12.03. Post-Default Withdrawals from the Concentration Account and
Cash Collateral Account. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
from and after acceleration of the Obligations as described in Section 12.02(a),
no Borrower or other Person or entity claiming on behalf of or through a
Borrower shall have any right to withdraw any of the funds held in the
Concentration Account until the Obligations have been paid in full in cash. The
Agent may, at any such time, sell or cause to be sold any Cash Equivalents being
held by the Agent in the Concentration Account or as Cash Collateral at any
broker's board or at public or private sale, in one or more sales or lots, at
such price as the Agent may deem best, without assumption of any credit risk,
and the purchaser of any or all such Cash Equivalents so sold shall thereafter
own the same, absolutely free from any claim, encumbrance or right of any kind
whatsoever. The Agent or any Holder may, in its own name or in the name of a
designee or nominee, buy such Cash Equivalents at any public sale and, if
permitted by applicable law, buy such Cash Equivalents at any private sale. The
Agent shall

                                      105

<PAGE>

apply the proceeds of any such sale, net of any reasonable expenses incurred in
connection therewith, and any other funds deposited in the Concentration Account
or Cash Collateral Account to the payment of the Obligations in accordance with
Section 4.02(b)(ii), other than amounts which are being held as Cash Collateral
for Reimbursement Obligations, which shall be applied to such Reimbursement
Obligations without regard to Section 4.02(b)(ii). Each Borrower agrees that any
sale of Cash Equivalents conducted in conformity with reasonable commercial
practices of banks, commercial finance companies, insurance companies or other
financial institutions disposing of property similar to such Cash Equivalents
shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable and any requirements of reasonable
notice shall be met if such notice is given by the Agent within a commercially
reasonable time prior to such disposition, the time of delivery of which notice
the parties hereto agree shall in no event be required to be greater than five
(5) Business Days before the date of the intended sale or disposition. Any other
requirement of notice, demand or advertisement for sale is waived to the extent
permitted by law. The Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to
time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor and such sale may,
without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so
adjourned.

                                  ARTICLE XIII
                                    THE AGENT

          13.01. Appointment.

          (a)    Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby designates and
appoints Citicorp as the Agent of such Lender or such Issuing Bank under this
Agreement, and each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably authorizes
the Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this
Agreement and the Loan Documents and to exercise such powers as are set forth
herein or therein together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. The Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in
this Article XIII.

          (b)    The provisions of this Article XIII are solely for the benefit
of the Agent, the Lenders and Issuing Banks, and no Borrower or any Affiliate of
any Borrower shall have any right to rely on or enforce any of the provisions
hereof (other than as expressly set forth in Section 13.07). In performing its
functions and duties under this Agreement, the Agent shall act solely as agent
of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks and does not assume and shall not be deemed
to have assumed any obligation or relationship of agency, trustee or fiduciary
with or for any Borrower or any Affiliate of a Borrower and the agency, trust
and fiduciary relationship of the Agent hereunder with the Lenders and Issuing
Banks shall be strictly limited in scope to the specific provisions of this
Agreement. The Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder, or under the other
Loan Documents, by or through its agents or employees.

          13.02. Nature of Duties. The Agent shall not have any duties or
responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement or in the
Loan Documents. The duties of the Agent shall be mechanical and administrative
in nature. The Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary
relationship in respect of any Holder. Nothing in this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be construed
to impose upon the Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any of
the Loan Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein. Each Lender
and each Issuing Bank shall make its own independent investigation of the
financial condition and affairs of the Borrowers and their Affiliates in
connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans hereunder and with
the issuance of the Letters of Credit and shall make its own appraisal of the
creditworthiness of each Borrower, each Guarantor and each of their Affiliates
initially and on a continuing basis, and the Agent shall not have any duty or
responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Holder
with any credit or other information with respect thereto (except for reports
required to be delivered by the Agent under the terms of this Agreement). If the
Agent seeks the consent or approval of the Lenders to the taking or refraining
from taking of any action hereunder, the Agent shall send notice thereof to each
Lender. The Agent shall promptly notify each Lender at any time that the Lenders
so required hereunder have instructed the Agent to act or refrain from acting
pursuant hereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement
(including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of the Notes or any
amount payable under any provision of Article IV or Article V when due) or the
other Loan Documents, the Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion
or take any action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent shall be required
to act or refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or
refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, or,
where required by the express terms of this Agreement, a different or greater
proportion of the Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all
Lenders, Issuing Banks and

                                      107

<PAGE>

Holders of Notes; provided, however, the Agent shall not be required to take any
action which (i) the Agent reasonably believes will expose it to personal
liability unless the Agent receives an indemnification satisfactory to it from
the Lenders with respect to such action or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement,
the other Loan Documents or applicable law.

          13.03. Rights, Exculpation, Etc.

          (a)    Liabilities; Responsibilities. None of the Agent, any Affiliate
of the Agent, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or
agents shall be liable to any Holder for any action taken or omitted by them
hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents, or in connection therewith, except
that no Person shall be relieved of any liability imposed by law for gross
negligence or willful misconduct. The Agent shall not be liable for any
apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith pursuant to
Section 4.02(b), and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently
determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Holder to whom
payment was due, but not made, shall be to recover from other Holders any
payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to have been
entitled. The Agent shall not be responsible to any Holder for any recitals,
statements, representations or warranties herein or for the execution,
effectiveness, genuineness, validity, legality, enforceability, collectibility,
or sufficiency of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the
transactions contemplated thereby, or for the financial condition of any
Borrower or any Affiliate of a Borrower. The Agent shall not be required to make
any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms,
provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, the
agreements and instruments executed and delivered in connection with any
intercompany Indebtedness, or the financial condition of any Borrower or any
Affiliate of any Borrower, or the existence or possible existence of any
Potential Event of Default or Event of Default.

          (b)    Right to Request Instructions. The Agent may at any time
request instructions from the Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals
which by the terms of any of the Loan Documents the Agent is permitted or
required to take or to grant, and the Agent shall be absolutely entitled to
refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be
under any liability whatsoever to any Person for refraining from any action or
withholding any approval under any of the Loan Documents until it shall have
received such instructions from those Lenders from whom the Agent is required to
obtain such instructions for the pertinent matter in accordance with the Loan
Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Holder shall
have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the Agent
acting or refraining from acting under the Loan Documents in accordance with the
instructions of the Requisite Lenders or, where required by the express terms of
this Agreement, a different or greater proportion of the Lenders.

          13.04. Reliance. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written
notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone
message believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been
signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with respect to all matters
pertaining to this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents and its duties
hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of legal counsel (including counsel for the
Borrowers and Guarantors), independent public accountants and other experts
selected by it.

                                      108

<PAGE>

          13.05. Indemnification. To the extent that the Agent is required to be
reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrowers but is not reimbursed and
indemnified by the Borrowers and the Borrowers are not otherwise relieved or
excused from such obligation, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify the Agent
for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any
kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted
against it in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any
action taken or omitted by the Agent under the Loan Documents, in proportion to
each Lender's Pro Rata Share. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section
13.05 shall survive the payment in full of the Loans, the Reimbursement
Obligations and all other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

          13.06. Agent Individually. With respect to its Pro Rata Share of the
Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder, if any, and the Loans made by it, if
any, the Agent shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder
and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set
forth herein for any other Lender. The terms "Lenders" and "Requisite Lenders"
or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates,
include the Agent in its individual capacity, if applicable, as a Lender or one
of the Requisite Lenders. The Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from,
lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other
business with any Borrower or any Affiliate of a Borrower as if it were not
acting as the Agent pursuant hereto.

          13.07. Successor Agents.

          (a)    Resignation. The Agent may resign from the performance of all
its functions and duties hereunder at any time by giving at least thirty (30)
Business Days' prior written notice to TIMCO and the Lenders. Such resignation
shall take effect upon the acceptance by a successor Agent of appointment
pursuant to this Section 13.07.

          (b)    Appointment by Agent. Upon any such notice of resignation, the
Agent shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent selected from among the
Lenders, which appointment shall be subject to (i) the prior written approval of
TIMCO (which may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and shall not be
required upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default)
and the Requisite Lenders and (ii) the concurrence of the Lender proposed for
such appointment.

          (c)    Rights of the Successor and Retiring Agents. Upon the
acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such
successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring
Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents. After any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder
as Agent, the provisions of this Article XIII shall inure to its benefit as to
any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Agent under this
Agreement.

          13.08. Relations Among Lenders. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank
agrees (except as provided in Section 15.05) that it will not take any legal
action, nor institute any actions or proceedings, against any Borrower,
Guarantor, or any other obligor hereunder or with respect to any Collateral,
without the prior written consent of the Requisite Lenders. Without limiting the
generality

                                      109

<PAGE>

of the foregoing, no Lender may accelerate or otherwise enforce its portion of
the Obligations, or unilaterally terminate its Revolving Credit Commitments,
except in accordance with Section 12.02(a).

          13.09. Concerning the Collateral and the Loan Documents.

          (a)    Protective Advances. The Agent may from time to time, (i)
before or after the occurrence of an Event of Default, make such disbursements
and advances pursuant to the Loan Documents which the Agent, in its sole
discretion, deems necessary or desirable to preserve or protect the Collateral
or any portion thereof and (ii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default
which is continuing unwaived, to enhance the likelihood or maximize the amount
of repayment of the Loans and other Obligations ("Protective Advances");
provided, however, that Agent shall obtain the prior written consent of the
Requisite Lenders with respect to the making of any Protective Advance which,
when combined with other Protective Advances not then reimbursed by the
Borrowers, would exceed $3,000,000. The Agent shall notify TIMCO and each Lender
in writing of each such Protective Advance, which notice shall include a
description of the purpose of such Protective Advance. The Borrowers jointly and
severally agree to pay the Agent, upon demand, the principal amount of all
outstanding Protective Advances, together with interest thereon at the rate from
time to time applicable to Base Rate Loans pursuant to Section 5.01 from the
date of such Protective Advance until the outstanding principal balance thereof
is paid in full. If the Borrowers fail to make payment in respect of any
Protective Advance within one (1) Business Day after the date TIMCO receives
written demand therefor from the Agent, the Agent shall promptly notify each
Lender and each Lender agrees that it shall thereupon make available to the
Agent, in Dollars in immediately available funds, the amount equal to such
Lender's Pro Rata Share of such Protective Advance; provided, however, that no
Lender shall be required to make any such payment in excess of its then unfunded
Revolving Credit Commitment. If such funds are not made available to the Agent
by any Lender within one (1) Business Day after the Agent's demand therefor, the
Agent will be entitled to recover any such amount from such Lender together with
interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for each day during the period
commencing on the date of such demand and ending on the date such amount is
received. The failure of any Lender to make available to the Agent its Pro Rata
Share of any such Protective Advance shall neither relieve any other Lender of
its obligation hereunder to make available to the Agent such other Lender's Pro
Rata Share of such Protective Advance on the date such payment is to be made nor
increase the obligation of any other Lender to make such payment to the Agent.
All outstanding principal of, and interest on, Protective Advances shall
constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral until paid in full by the
Borrowers.

          (b)    Authority. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank authorizes and
directs the Agent to enter into the Loan Documents relating to the Collateral
for the benefit of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks. Each Lender and each
Issuing Bank agrees that any action taken by the Agent or the Requisite Lenders
(or, where required by the express terms of this Agreement, a different or
greater proportion of the Lenders) in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Agent or the
Requisite Lenders (or, where so required, such greater or different proportion
of the Lenders) of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such
other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and
binding upon all of the Lenders and Issuing Banks. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right
and authority to (i)

                                      110

<PAGE>

act as the disbursing and collecting agent for the Lenders and the Issuing Banks
with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection with this
Agreement and the Loan Documents relating to the Collateral; (ii) execute and
deliver each Loan Document relating to the Collateral and accept delivery of
each such agreement delivered by any Borrower or Guarantor a party thereto;
(iii) act as collateral agent for the Lenders and the Issuing Banks for purposes
of the perfection of all security interests and Liens created by such agreements
and all other purposes stated therein; provided, however, the Agent hereby
appoints, authorizes and directs the Lenders and the Issuing Banks to act as
collateral sub-agent for the Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks for
purposes of the perfection of all security interests and Liens with respect to
the Property at any time in the possession of such Lender or such Issuing Bank,
including, without limitation, deposit accounts maintained with, and cash and
Cash Equivalents held by, such Lender or such Issuing Bank; (iv) manage,
supervise and otherwise deal with the Collateral; (v) take such action as is
necessary or desirable to maintain the perfection and priority of the security
interests and liens created or purported to be created by the Loan Documents;
and (vi) except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, exercise all remedies given to the Agent,
the Lenders or the Issuing Banks with respect to the Collateral under the Loan
Documents relating thereto, applicable law or otherwise.

          (c)    Release of Collateral.

          (i)    Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby directs, in accordance
     with the terms of this Agreement, the Agent to release any Lien held by the
     Agent for the benefit of the Holders:

          (A)    against all of the Collateral, upon final and indefeasible
     payment in full of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement;

          (B)    against any part of the Collateral sold or disposed of by a
     Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, if such sale or disposition is
     permitted by Section 10.02, as certified to the Agent by TIMCO in an
     Officer's Certificate, or is otherwise consented to by the Requisite
     Lenders; and/or

          (C)    against any part of the Collateral consisting of a promissory
     note, upon final and indefeasible payment in full of the Indebtedness
     evidenced thereby.

          (ii)   Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Agent,
     on behalf of such Lender and Issuing Bank, to release any Borrower or
     Guarantor from its obligations as a Borrower or Guarantor and the Liens
     granted by such Borrower or Guarantor to secure the Obligations and its
     guaranty obligations upon such Borrower's or Guarantor's ceasing to be a
     Subsidiary of Parent as a result of a sale or transfer permitted by Section
     10.02(b).

          (iii)  Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby directs the Agent to
     execute and deliver or file such termination and partial release statements
     and do such other things as are necessary to release Guarantors and/or
     Liens to be released pursuant to this Section 13.09(c) promptly upon the
     effectiveness of any such release.

                                   ARTICLE XIV
                                YIELD PROTECTION

         14.01. Taxes.

         (a) Payment of Taxes. Any and all payments by the Borrowers, or any of
them, hereunder or under any Note or other document evidencing any Obligations
shall be made, in accordance with Section 4.02, free and clear of and without
reduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions,
charges, withholdings, and all stamp or documentary taxes, excise taxes, ad
valorem taxes and other taxes imposed on the value of the Property, charges or
levies which arise from the execution, delivery or registration, or from payment
or performance under, or otherwise with respect to, any of the Loan Documents or
the Revolving Credit Commitments and all other liabilities with respect thereto
excluding, in the case of each Lender, each Issuing Bank and the Agent, taxes
imposed on or measured by net income or overall gross receipts and capital and
franchise taxes imposed on it by (i) the United States, (ii) the Governmental
Authority of the jurisdiction in which such Lender's Domestic Lending Office is
located or any political subdivision thereof or (iii) the Governmental Authority
in which such Person is organized, managed and controlled or any political
subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions,
charges and withholdings being hereinafter referred to as "Taxes"). If any
Borrower shall be required by law to withhold or deduct any Taxes from or in
respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any such Note or document to any
Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Agent, (x) the sum payable to such Lender,
Issuing Bank, or the Agent shall be increased as may be necessary so that after
making all required withholding or deductions (including withholding or
deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 14.01) such
Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount
equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deductions
been made, (y) such Borrower shall make such withholding or deductions, and (z)
such Borrower shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant
taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

         (b) Indemnification. The Borrowers will, jointly and severally,
indemnify each Lender, each Issuing Bank and the Agent against, and reimburse
each on demand for, the full amount of all Taxes (including, without limitation,
any Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority on amounts payable under this
Section 14.01 and any additional income or franchise taxes resulting therefrom)
incurred or paid by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Agent (as the case may
be) or any of their respective Affiliates and any liability (including
penalties, interest, and out-of-pocket expenses paid to third parties) arising
therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were lawfully
payable. A certificate as to any additional amount payable to any Person under
this Section 14.01 submitted by it to TIMCO shall, absent manifest error, be
final, conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto. Each Lender and each
Issuing Bank agrees, within a reasonable time after receiving a written request
from a Borrower, to provide such Borrower and the Agent with such certificates
as are reasonably required, and take such other actions as are reasonably
necessary to claim such exemptions as such Lender or such Issuing Bank may be
entitled to claim in respect of all or a portion of any Taxes which are
otherwise required to be paid or deducted or withheld pursuant to this Section
14.01 in respect of any payments under this Agreement or under the Notes.

                                      112

<PAGE>

         (c)  Receipts. Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of
Taxes by any Borrower, it will furnish to the Agent, at its address referred to
in Section 15.08, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing
payment thereof.

         (d)  Foreign Bank Certifications.

         (i)  Each Lender that is not created or organized under the laws of the
     United States or a political subdivision thereof, if not delivered to TIMCO
     and the Agent theretofore, shall deliver to TIMCO and the Agent on the
     Effective Date or the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender pursuant
     to Section 15.01 hereof a true and accurate certificate executed in
     duplicate by a duly authorized officer of such Lender or such other
     documentation (including applicable IRS forms) evidencing that such Lender
     is eligible to receive payments hereunder and under the Notes without
     deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax (A) under the
     provisions of an applicable tax treaty concluded by the United States (in
     which case the certificate shall be accompanied by two duly completed and
     executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN (or any successor or substitute form or
     forms)), (B) under Section 1442 of the Internal Revenue Code (in which case
     the certificate shall be accompanied by two duly completed copies of IRS
     Form W-8ECI (or any successor or substitute form or forms)), (C) under
     Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code in the case of any
     Lender that is claiming an exemption from the withholding of United States
     federal income tax with respect to "portfolio interest" (in which case, the
     certificate shall be accompanied by two accurate and complete original
     signed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN (or any successor or substitute form or
     forms)) and such certificate shall include representations that the Lender
     is not (1) a "bank" for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue
     Code, (2) a ten percent shareholder of any Borrower, within the meaning of
     Section 871(h)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code or (3) a controlled foreign
     corporation related to any Borrower within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4)
     of the Internal Revenue Code, or (D) that such Lender is otherwise exempt
     from withholding and/or backup withholding as evidenced by the provision of
     the applicable IRS forms, including, without limitation, IRS Forms W-8IMY
     and/or W-9.

         (ii) Each Lender further agrees to deliver to TIMCO and the Agent, from
     time to time, a true and accurate certificate executed in duplicate by a
     duly authorized officer of such Lender before or promptly upon the
     occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent certificate
     previously delivered by it to TIMCO and the Agent pursuant to this Section
     14.01(d). Each certificate required to be delivered pursuant to this
     Section 4.01(d)(ii) shall certify as to one of the following:

         (A)  that such Lender can continue to receive payments hereunder and
     under the Notes without deduction or withholding of United States federal
     income tax;

         (B)  that such Lender cannot continue to receive payments hereunder and
     under the Notes without deduction or withholding of United States federal
     income tax as specified therein but does not require additional payments
     pursuant to Section 14.01(a) because it is entitled to recover the full
     amount of any such deduction or withholding from a source other than the
     Borrowers; or

                                      113

<PAGE>

         (C) that such Lender is no longer capable of receiving payments of
     interest hereunder and under the Notes without deduction or withholding of
     United States federal income tax as specified therein and that it is not
     capable of recovering the full amount of the same from a source other than
     the Borrowers.

Each Lender agrees to deliver to TIMCO and the Agent further duly completed
copies of the above-mentioned IRS forms on or before the earlier of (x) the date
that any such form expires or becomes obsolete or otherwise is required to be
resubmitted as a condition to obtaining an exemption from withholding from
United States federal income tax and (y) fifteen (15) days after the occurrence
of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by
such Lender to TIMCO and Agent, unless any change in treaty, law, regulation, or
official interpretation thereof which would render such form inapplicable or
which would prevent the Lender from duly completing and delivering such form has
occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be
required and the Lender promptly advises TIMCO that it is not capable of
receiving payments hereunder and under the Notes without any deduction or
withholding of United States federal income tax. Each Lender further agrees to
promptly furnish to TIMCO and the agent such additional documents as may be
reasonably required by the Borrowers or Agent to establish any exemption from or
reduction of any Taxes required to be deducted or withheld and which may be
obtained without undue expense to such Lender. Notwithstanding anything else
contained herein, no Lender shall be required to deliver any IRS form that it is
no longer entitled to deliver because of a change in treaty, law, regulations or
official interpretations thereof (a "Tax Law Change") and such Lender shall
continue to be entitled to the benefits of clauses (a), (b), and (c) of this
Section 14.01 notwithstanding its inability to deliver such IRS forms because of
a Tax Law Change after the date it first became a Lender hereunder.

         14.02. Increased Capital. If after the date hereof any Lender or
Issuing Bank determines that (i) the adoption or implementation of or any change
in or in the interpretation or administration of any law or regulation or any
guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority or
quasi-governmental authority exercising jurisdiction, power or control over any
Lender, Issuing Bank or banks or financial institutions generally (whether or
not having the force of law), compliance with which affects or would affect the
amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or
Issuing Bank or any corporation controlling such Lender or Issuing Bank and (ii)
the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon (A) the making or
maintenance by any Lender of its participation in or obligation to participate
in Letters of Credit or (B) the issuance or maintenance by any Issuing Bank of,
or the existence of any Issuing Bank's obligation to issue, Letters of Credit,
then, in any such case, upon written demand by such Lender or Issuing Bank (with
a copy of such demand to the Agent), the Borrowers shall immediately pay to the
Agent for the account of such Lender or Issuing Bank, from time to time as
specified by such Lender or Issuing Bank, additional amounts sufficient to
compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or such corporation therefor. Such demand
shall be accompanied by a statement as to the amount of such compensation and
include a brief summary of the basis for such demand. Such statement shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

         14.03. Changes; Legal Restrictions. If after the date hereof any Lender
or Issuing Bank determines that the adoption or implementation of or any change
in or in the interpretation or administration of any law or regulation or any
guideline or request from any central bank or other

                                      114

<PAGE>

Governmental Authority or quasi-governmental authority exercising jurisdiction,
power or control over any Lender, Issuing Bank or over banks or financial
institutions generally (whether or not having the force of law), compliance with
which:

         (a) does or will subject a Lender or an Issuing Bank to charges (other
than taxes) of any kind which such Lender or Issuing Bank reasonably determines
to be applicable to the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders and/or the
Issuing Banks to issue and/or participate in Letters of Credit or change the
basis of taxation of payments to that Lender or Issuing Bank of fees, interest,
or any other amount payable hereunder with respect to Letters of Credit; or

         (b) does or will impose, modify, or hold applicable, in the
determination of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, any reserve, special deposit,
compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by,
or deposits or other liabilities (including those pertaining to Letters of
Credit) in or for the account of, advances or loans by, commitments made, or
other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, a Lender or an
Issuing Bank;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to that Lender or
Issuing Bank of making, renewing or maintaining its Revolving Credit Commitments
with respect to, or issuing or participating in, the Letters of Credit or to
reduce any amount receivable thereunder; then, in any such case, upon written
demand by such Lender or Issuing Bank (with a copy of such demand to the Agent),
the Borrowers shall immediately pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender
or Issuing Bank, from time to time as specified by such Lender or Issuing Bank,
such amount or amounts as may be necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing
Bank for any such additional cost incurred or reduced amount received. Such
demand shall be accompanied by a statement as to the amount of such compensation
and include a brief summary of the basis for such demand. Such statement shall
be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

         14.04. Limitation on Additional Amounts Payable by the Borrowers.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 14.01(a), the Borrowers shall not be
required to pay any additional amounts thereunder to a Lender if (a) the
obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a
failure by the Lender to comply with the requirements described in Section 14.01
(other than as a result of a Tax Law Change) or (b) the Lender shall not have
furnished TIMCO with such forms or shall not have taken such other action as
reasonably may be available to it under applicable tax laws and any applicable
tax treaty to obtain an exemption from, or reduction (to the lowest applicable
rate) of withholding of such United States federal income tax; provided,
however, the Borrowers' obligation to pay such additional amounts shall be
reinstated upon receipt of such forms or evidence that action with respect to
obtaining such exemption or reduction has been taken.

         14.05. Change in Lending Office. Any Lender claiming any additional
amounts payable pursuant to Section 14.01 shall use reasonable efforts
(consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to
change the Domestic Lending Office designated by it for purposes of this
Agreement to a Domestic Lending Office in another jurisdiction, if the making of
such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such
additional amounts which

                                      115

<PAGE>

may thereafter accrue and would not, in the judgment of such Lender, be
otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

         14.06. Illegality.

         (a) If at any time any Lender determines (which determination shall,
absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties)
that the making or continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Loan has become unlawful
or impermissible by compliance by that Lender with any law, governmental rule,
regulation or order of any Governmental Authority (whether or not having the
force of law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would be unlawful or
would result in costs or penalties), then, and in any such event, such Lender
may give notice of that determination, in writing, to TIMCO and the Agent, and
the Agent shall promptly transmit the notice to each other Lender.

         (b) When notice is given by a Lender under Section 14.06(a), (i) the
Borrowers' right to request from such Lender and such Lender's obligation, if
any, to make Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be immediately suspended, and such
Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan as part of any requested Borrowing of
Eurodollar Rate Loans and (ii) if the affected Eurodollar Rate Loan or Loans are
then outstanding, the Borrowers shall immediately, or if permitted by applicable
law, no later than the date permitted thereby, upon at least one (1) Business
Day's prior written notice to the Agent and the affected Lender, convert each
such Loan into a Base Rate Loan.

         (c) If at any time after a Lender gives notice under Section 14.06(a)
such Lender determines that it may lawfully make Eurodollar Rate Loans, such
Lender shall promptly give notice of that determination, in writing, to TIMCO
and the Agent, and the Agent shall promptly transmit the notice to each other
Lender. The Borrowers' right to request, and such Lender's obligation, if any,
to make, Eurodollar Rate Loans shall thereupon be restored.

         14.07. Compensation. In addition to all amounts required to be paid by
the Borrowers pursuant to Section 5.01, the Borrowers shall compensate each
Lender, upon demand, for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including,
without limitation, any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or
reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or
maintain such Lender's Eurodollar Rate Loans to the Borrower but excluding any
loss of the then applicable Eurodollar Rate Margin on the relevant Loans) which
that Lender may sustain (a) if for any reason a Borrowing, conversion into or
continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified
therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation given
by TIMCO or in a telephonic request by it for borrowing or
conversion/continuation or a successive Eurodollar Interest Period does not
commence after notice therefor is given pursuant to Section 5.01(e), including,
without limitation, pursuant to Section 5.03(d), (b) if for any reason any
Eurodollar Rate Loan is prepaid or converted (including, without limitation,
mandatorily pursuant to Section 4.01 or Section 14.06(b)) on a date which is not
the last day of the applicable Eurodollar Interest Period, (c) as a consequence
of a required conversion of a Eurodollar Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan as a
result of any of the events indicated in Section 5.03(d) or Section 14.06(b), or
(d) as a consequence of any failure by the Borrowers to repay Eurodollar Rate
Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement. The Lender making demand for
such compensation shall deliver to TIMCO concurrently with such demand a written
statement in reasonable detail as to such losses, expenses and liabilities, and
this statement shall be conclusive as to the amount of compensation due to that
Lender, absent

                                      116

<PAGE>

manifest error.

                                   ARTICLE XV
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

          15.01. Assignments and Participations.

          (a) Assignments. No assignments or participations of any Lender's
rights or obligations under this Agreement shall be made except in accordance
with this Section 15.01. Each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible
Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including all of its rights and obligations with respect to the Loans and the
Letters of Credit) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 15.01.

          (b) Limitations on Assignments. Each assignment shall be subject to
the following conditions: (i) each such assignment may be on a non-pro-rata
basis, but shall be of a constant, and not a varying, ratable percentage of all
of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement which are
subject to such assignment and, in the case of a partial assignment other than
an assignment on the Effective Date, shall be in a minimum principal amount of
$4,000,000, (ii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee, and
(iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and
Acceptance. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording in the
Register, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and
Acceptance, (A) the assignee thereunder shall, in addition to any rights and
obligations hereunder held by it immediately prior to such effective date, if
any, have the rights and obligations hereunder that have been assigned to it
pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and shall, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, have the same rights and benefits hereunder as if it were an
original Lender hereunder, (B) the assigning Lender shall, to the extent that
rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such
Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of such assigning Lender's
rights and obligations under this Agreement, the assigning Lender shall cease to
be a party hereto), and (C) upon the written request of the assignee thereunder,
the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such assignee a Note evidencing its
obligations to such assignee and the adjusted obligations to such assignor with
respect to the assigned Loans.

          (c) The Register. The Agent shall maintain, on behalf of the
Borrowers, at its address referred to in Section 15.08 a copy of each Assignment
and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register (the "Register")
for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment
under each Loan of, and principal amount of, and interest on, the Loans under
each facility owing to, each Lender from time to time and whether such Lender is
an original Lender or the assignee of another Lender pursuant to an Assignment
and Acceptance. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for
all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers and each Guarantor, the
Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register
shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers or any Lender at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

                                      117

<PAGE>

          (d) Fee. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by
the assigning Lender and an Eligible Assignee and a processing and recordation
fee of $3,500 (payable by the assigning Lender or the assignee, as shall be
agreed between them), the Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has
been completed and is in compliance with this Agreement and in substantially the
form of Exhibit A, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the
information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice
thereof to TIMCO and the other Lenders.

          (e) Participations. Each Lender may sell participations to one or more
other financial institutions in or to all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under and in respect of any and all facilities under this Agreement
(including, without limitation, all or a portion of any or all of its Revolving
Credit Commitments hereunder and the Loans owing to it and its undivided
interest in the Letters of Credit); provided, however, that (i) such Lender's
obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Revolving
Credit Commitments hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall
remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of
such obligations, (iii) the Borrowers, the Agent and the other Lenders shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and (iv) such participant's
rights to agree or to restrict such Lender's ability to agree to the
modification, waiver or release of any of the terms of the Loan Documents or to
the release of any Collateral covered by the Loan Documents, to consent to any
action or failure to act by any party to any of the Loan Documents or any of
their respective Affiliates, or to exercise or refrain from exercising any
powers or rights which any Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan
Documents or any Collateral, shall be limited to the right to consent to (A)
increase in the Commitment of the Lender from whom such participant purchased a
participation, (B) reduction of the principal of, or rate or amount of interest
on the Loans(s) subject to such participation (other than by the payment or
prepayment thereof), (C) postponement of any date fixed for any payment of
principal of, or interest on, the Loan(s) subject to such participation and (D)
release of any Guarantor or all or a substantial portion of the Collateral
except as provided in Section 13.09(c).

          (f) Information Regarding the Borrowers. Any Lender may, in connection
with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation
pursuant to this Section 15.01, disclose to the assignee or participant or
proposed assignee or participant, any information relating to Parent, any
Borrower, or any other Subsidiaries of Parent furnished to such Lender by the
Agent or by or on behalf of such Person(s); provided that, prior to any such
disclosure, such assignee or participant, or proposed assignee or participant,
shall agree to preserve in accordance with Section 15.20 the confidentiality of
any confidential information described therein.

          (g) Payment to Participants. Anything in this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, in the case of any participation, all amounts payable
by the Borrowers or Guarantors under the Loan Documents shall be calculated and
made in the manner and to the parties required hereby as if no such
participation had been sold.

          (h) Lenders' Creation of Security Interests. Notwithstanding any other
provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a
security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement
(including, without limitation, Obligations

                                      118

<PAGE>

owing to it and any Notes held by it), including, without limitation, a security
interest in favor of any Federal Reserve bank in accordance with Regulation A of
the Federal Reserve Board.

          (i) Assignments by Agent. If Agent ceases to be a Lender under this
Agreement by virtue of any assignment made pursuant to this Section 15.01, then,
as of the effective date of such cessation, Citibank's obligations to issue
Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 3.01 shall terminate and Citibank shall be
an Issuing Bank hereunder only with respect to outstanding Letters of Credit
issued prior to such date.

          15.02. Expenses.

          (a) Generally. The Borrowers, jointly and severally, agree upon demand
to pay, or reimburse the Agent for, all of the Agent's reasonable internal and
external audit, legal, appraisal, valuation, filing, document duplication and
reproduction and investigation expenses and for all other out-of-pocket costs
and expenses of every type and nature (including, without limitation, the
reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of Sidley Austin Brown & Wood, local
legal counsel, auditors, accountants, appraisers, printers, insurance and
environmental advisers, and other consultants and agents) incurred by the Agent
in connection with (i) the Agent's review and investigation of each Borrower and
its Affiliates and the Collateral in connection with the preparation,
negotiation, and execution of the Loan Documents and the Agent's periodic
reviews and audits of the Borrowers and Guarantors; (ii) the preparation,
negotiation, execution and interpretation of this Agreement (including, without
limitation, the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of any of the conditions
set forth in Article VI) and the other Loan Documents and the making of the
Loans hereunder; (iii) the creation, perfection or protection of the Liens under
the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any reasonable fees and
expenses for local counsel in various jurisdictions); (iv) the ongoing
administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Loans,
including consultation with attorneys in connection therewith and with respect
to the Agent's rights and responsibilities under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents; (v) the protection, collection or enforcement of any of the
Obligations or the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents; (vi) the
commencement, defense or intervention in any court proceeding relating in any
way to the Obligations, the Property, any Borrower, any Guarantor, any of
Parent's other Subsidiaries, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or
other Contractual Obligations of such Persons; (vii) the response to, and
preparation for, any subpoena or request for document production with which the
Agent is served or deposition or other proceeding in which the Agent is called
to testify, in each case, relating in any way to the Obligations, the Property,
any Borrower, any Guarantor, any of Parent's other Subsidiaries, this Agreement,
any of the other Loan Documents or other Contractual Obligations of such
Persons; and (viii) any amendments, consents, waivers, assignments,
restatements, or supplements to any of the Loan Documents and the preparation,
negotiation, and execution of the same.

          (b) After Default. The Borrowers, jointly and severally, further agree
to pay or reimburse the Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders upon demand for
all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees (including allocated costs of internal counsel and costs of
settlement) incurred by the Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender after the
occurrence of an Event of Default (i) in enforcing any Loan Document or
Obligation or any security therefor or exercising or enforcing any other right
or remedy available

                                      119

<PAGE>

by reason of such Event of Default; (ii) in connection with any refinancing or
restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the
nature of a "work-out" or in any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding; (iii) in
commencing, defending or intervening in any litigation or in filing a petition,
complaint, answer, motion or other pleadings in any legal proceeding relating to
the Obligations, the Property, any Borrower, any Guarantor, or any of Parent's
other Subsidiaries and related to or arising out of the transactions
contemplated hereby or by any of the other Loan Documents; and (iv) in taking
any other action in or with respect to any suit or proceeding (bankruptcy or
otherwise) described in clauses (i) through (iii) above.

          15.03. Indemnity. The Borrowers, jointly and severally, further agree
(a) to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and each and all of the Lenders and
Issuing Banks and each of their respective officers, directors, employees,
attorneys and agents (including, without limitation, those retained in
connection with the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of any of the
conditions set forth in Article VI) (collectively, the "Indemnitees") from and
against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses (other than loss of
profits), damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses
and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (excluding any taxes (other
than specifically provided for in Article XIV) and including, without
limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnitees in
connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding,
whether or not such Indemnitees shall be designated a party thereto), imposed
on, incurred by, or asserted against such Indemnitees in any manner relating to
or arising out of (i) this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or any act,
event or transaction related or attendant thereto or to the making of the Loans
and the issuance of and participation in Letters of Credit hereunder, the
management of such Loans or Letters of Credit, the use or intended use of the
proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder, or any of the other
transactions contemplated in or by any of the Loan Documents, or (ii) any
Liabilities and Costs relating to any violation by any Borrower or Guarantor, or
their respective predecessors-in-interest, of any Environmental, Health or
Safety Requirements of Law, the past, present or future operations of any
Borrower or Guarantor, or any of their respective predecessors-in-interest, or,
the past, present or future environmental, health or safety condition of any
respective past, present or future Property, the presence of asbestos-containing
materials at any respective past, present or future Property, or the Release or
threatened Release of any Contaminant into the environment by any Borrower or
Guarantor, or their respective predecessors-in-interest, or the Release or
threatened Release of any Contaminant into the environment from or at any
facility to which any Borrower or Guarantor, or their respective
predecessors-in-interest, sent or directly arranged the transport of any
Contaminant (collectively, the "Indemnified Matters"); provided, however, the
Borrowers shall have no obligation to an Indemnitee hereunder with respect to
Indemnified Matters caused by or resulting from the willful misconduct or gross
negligence of such Indemnitee, as determined by a final, non-appealable order of
a court of competent jurisdiction and (b) not to assert any claim against any of
the Indemnified Parties on any theory of liability for special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages arising out of, or in any way in connection
with, the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Obligations or any other matters
governed by this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents. To the extent that
the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in the preceding
sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public
policy, each Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted
to pay and satisfy under applicable law, to the payment and satisfaction of all
Indemnified Matters incurred by the Indemnitees. The Agent, Lenders and the
Issuing Banks agree to notify TIMCO of the institution or assertion of any
Indemnified Matter, but the parties hereto hereby agree that the failure to so
notify TIMCO shall not release any Borrower from its obligations

                                      120

<PAGE>

hereunder, except to the extent of any material increase in the liabilities of
such Borrower under this Section 15.03 directly resulting from such failure to
receive notice from such Indemnitees.

          15.04. Change in Accounting Principles. If any change in the
accounting principles used in the preparation of the most recent Financial
Statements referred to in Section 8.01 are hereafter required or permitted by
the rules, regulations, pronouncements and opinions of the Financial Accounting
Standards Board or the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (or
successors thereto or agencies with similar functions) and are adopted by the
Borrowers with the agreement of their independent certified public accountants
and such changes result in a change in the method of calculation of any of the
covenants, standards or terms found in Article IX, Article X, and Article XI,
the parties hereto agree to enter into negotiations in order to amend such
provisions so as to equitably reflect such changes with the desired result that
the criteria for evaluating compliance with such covenants, standards and terms
by the Borrowers shall be the same after such changes as if such changes had not
been made; provided, however, no change in GAAP that would affect the method of
calculation of any of the covenants, standards or terms shall be given effect in
such calculations until such provisions are amended, in a manner satisfactory to
the Requisite Lenders and TIMCO, to so reflect such change in accounting
principles.

          15.05. Setoff. In addition to any Liens granted under the Loan
Documents and any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law, upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender, each
Issuing Bank and any Lender Affiliate is hereby authorized by Parent and each
Borrower at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Person (any
such notice being hereby expressly waived) to set off and to appropriate and to
apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to,
indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured
(but not including trust accounts)) and any other Indebtedness at any time held
or owing by such Lender, Issuing Bank or any Lender Affiliate to or for the
credit or the account of Parent or such Borrower against and on account of the
Obligations of the Borrowers to such Lender, Issuing Bank or any Lender
Affiliate, including, but not limited to, all Loans and Letters of Credit and
all claims of any nature or description arising out of or in connection with
this Agreement, irrespective of whether or not (i) such Lender or Issuing Bank
shall have made any demand hereunder or (ii) the Agent, at the request or with
the consent of the Requisite Lenders, shall have declared the principal of and
interest on the Loans and other amounts due hereunder to be due and payable as
permitted by Article XII and even though such Obligations may be contingent or
unmatured. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees that it shall not, without
the express consent of the Requisite Lenders, and that it shall, to the extent
it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the request of the Requisite Lenders,
exercise its setoff rights hereunder against any accounts of any Borrower or
Guarantor now or hereafter maintained with such Lender, Issuing Bank or any
Lender Affiliate or either of them. Any Lender whose Lender Affiliate has
exercised any such right of set-off agrees to provide the Agent and TIMCO with
written notice thereof promptly after the occurrence thereof.

          15.06. Ratable Sharing. The Lenders agree among themselves that (i)
with respect to all amounts received by them which are applicable to the payment
of the Obligations (excluding the fees described in Sections 3.01(g), 5.02 and
Article XIV), equitable adjustment will be made so that, in effect, all such
amounts will be shared among them ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata
Shares, whether received by voluntary payment, by the exercise of the right of
setoff or banker's lien, by counterclaim or cross-action or by the enforcement
of any or all of the Obligations (excluding the

                                      121

<PAGE>

fees described in Sections 3.01(g), 5.02 and Article XIV) or the Collateral,
(ii) if any of them shall by voluntary payment or by the exercise of any right
of counterclaim, setoff, banker's lien or otherwise, receive payment of a
proportion of the aggregate amount of the Obligations held by it, which is
greater than the amount which such Lender is entitled to receive hereunder, the
Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase, without recourse or
warranty, an undivided interest and participation (which it shall be deemed to
have done simultaneously upon the receipt of such payment) in such Obligations
owed to the others so that all such recoveries with respect to such Obligations
shall be applied ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; provided,
however, that if all or part of such excess payment received by the purchasing
party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases shall be rescinded and
the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such party
to the extent necessary to adjust for such recovery, but without interest except
to the extent the purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection
with such recovery. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a
participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 15.06 may, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including,
subject to Section 15.05, the right of setoff) with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such
Borrower in the amount of such participation.

          15.07. Amendments and Waivers.

          (a)    General Provisions. Unless otherwise provided for or required
in this Agreement, no amendment or modification of any provision of this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be effective without the
written agreement of the Requisite Lenders (which the Requisite Lenders shall
have the right to grant or withhold in their sole discretion) and the Borrower
or Guarantor parties thereto, as applicable. No termination or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or consent to
any departure by any Borrower or Guarantor therefrom, shall be effective without
the written concurrence of the Requisite Lenders, which the Requisite Lenders
shall have the right to grant or withhold in their sole discretion. All
amendments, modifications, waivers and consents not specifically reserved to
Lenders, Issuing Banks, and the Agent in Section 15.07(b), Section 15.07(c) and
in other provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall require
only the approval of the Requisite Lenders. Any waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which
it was given. No notice to or demand on any Borrower in any case shall entitle
such Borrower or any other Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in
similar or other circumstances.

          (b)    Amendments, Consents and Waivers by All Lenders. Any amendment,
modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the
following provisions of this Agreement shall be effective only by a written
agreement, signed by each Lender:

          (i)    release of any Borrower or Guarantor (except as provided in
     Section 13.09(c)(ii)) or all or a substantial portion of the Collateral
     (except as provided in Section 13.09(c)),

          (ii)   change in the definitions of Maximum Revolving Credit Amount,
     Requisite Lenders, or Revolving Credit Availability,

          (iii)  amendment of Section 15.01 or this Section 15.07,

                                      122

<PAGE>

          (iv)   assignment of any right or interest in or under this Agreement
     or any of the other Loan Documents by any Borrower,

          (v)    waiver of any Event of Default described in Sections 12.01(a),
     (f), (g), (h), and (m),

          (vi)   waiver of any conditions specified in Sections 6.01 or 6.02
     (except with respect to a condition based upon another provision of this
     Agreement, the waiver of which requires only the concurrence of the
     Requisite Lenders),

          (vii)  increase in the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments or
     Term Loan,

          (viii) reduction of the principal amount of, rate or amount of
     interest on the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations, or any fees or other
     amounts payable to Lenders (other than by the payment or prepayment
     thereof), and

          (ix)   postponement of the Revolving Credit Termination Date or any
     date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loans, the
     Reimbursement Obligations or any fees or other amounts payable to Lenders.

          (c)    Agent Authority. The Agent may, but shall have no obligation
to, with the written concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments,
modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of that Lender. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Section 15.07, no amendment,
modification, waiver or consent shall affect the rights or duties of the Agent
under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, unless made in writing and
signed by the Agent in addition to the Lenders required above to take such
action; and the order of priority set forth in clauses (A) through (C) of
Section 4.02(b)(ii) may be changed only with the prior written consent of the
Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that any
Borrower shall have requested, in a writing delivered to the Agent and the
Lenders, that any Lender agree to an amendment, modification, waiver or consent
with respect to any particular provision or provisions of this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents, and such Lender shall have failed to state, in writing,
that it either agrees or disagrees (in full or in part) with all such requests
(in the case of its statement of agreement, subject to satisfactory
documentation and such other conditions it may specify) within thirty (30) days
after such request, then such Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent to
agree or disagree, in full or in part, and in the Agent's sole discretion, to
such requests on behalf of such Lender as such Lender's attorney-in-fact and to
execute and deliver any writing approved by the Agent which evidences such
agreement as such Lender's duly authorized agent for such purposes.

          15.08. Notices. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any
notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be
in writing and may be personally served, sent by facsimile transmission, e-mail
transmission, courier service, or United States certified mail and shall be
deemed to have been given when delivered in person or by courier service, when
sent by e-mail transmission, upon receipt of a facsimile transmission, or four
(4) Business Days after deposit in the United States mail with postage prepaid
and properly addressed. Notices to the Agent pursuant to Articles II, IV or XIII
shall not be effective until received by the Agent. For the purposes hereof, the
addresses of the parties hereto (until notice of a change thereof is delivered
as provided in

                                      123

<PAGE>

this Section 15.08) shall be as set forth below each party's name on the
signature pages hereof or the signature page of any applicable Assignment and
Acceptance, or, as to each party, at such other address as may be designated by
such party in a written notice to all of the other parties to this Agreement.

          15.09. Survival of Warranties and Agreements. All representations and
warranties made herein and all obligations of the Borrowers in respect of taxes,
indemnification and expense reimbursement shall survive the execution and
delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the making and
repayment of the Loans, the issuance and discharge of Letters of Credit
hereunder and the termination of this Agreement and shall not be limited in any
way by the passage of time or occurrence of any event and shall expressly cover
time periods when the Agent, any of the Issuing Banks or any of the Lenders may
have come into possession or control of any of the Property.

          15.10. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No
failure or delay on the part of the Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank in the
exercise of any power, right or privilege under any of the Loan Documents shall
impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any
default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of
any other right, power or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under the
Loan Documents are cumulative with and not exclusive of any rights or remedies
otherwise available.

          15.11. Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. None of the Agent, any Lender
or any Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to marshall any assets in
favor of any Borrower or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all
of the Obligations. To the extent that any Borrower makes a payment or payments
to the Agent, the Lenders or the Issuing Banks or any of such Persons receives
payment from the proceeds of the Collateral or exercises its rights of setoff,
and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or
any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any
other party, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof
originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies
therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such
payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

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

          15.13. Headings.  Section headings in this Agreement are included
herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this
Agreement or be given any substantive effect.

          15.14. Governing Law.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE INTERPRETED, AND THE
RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO DETERMINED, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

                                      124

<PAGE>

          15.15. Limitation of Liability. No claim may be made by Parent, any
Borrower, any Lender, any Issuing Bank, the Agent or any other Person against
the Agent, any other Issuing Bank or any other Lender or the Affiliates,
directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents of any of them for any
special, consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of
contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or any act, omission or event
occurring in connection therewith; and Parent, each Borrower, each Lender, each
Issuing Bank and the Agent hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon
any such claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not
known or suspected to exist in its favor.

          15.16. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and the other Loan
Documents shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
the successors and permitted assigns of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks. The
rights hereunder of the Borrowers, or any interest therein, may not be assigned
without the written consent of all Lenders as provided in Section 15.07(c)(iv).

          15.18. Counterparts; Effectiveness; Inconsistencies.  This Agreement
and any amendments, waivers, consents, or supplements hereto may be executed in
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an
original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the
same instrument. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.01, this

                                      126

<PAGE>

Agreement shall become effective against Parent, the Borrowers, each Lender,
each Issuing Bank and the Agent on the Effective Date. This Agreement and each
of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to the extent reasonable to be
consistent one with the other, but to the extent that the terms and conditions
of this Agreement are actually inconsistent with the terms and conditions of any
other Loan Document, this Agreement shall govern.

          15.19. Limitation on Agreements. All agreements between Parent, the
Borrowers, the Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank in the Loan Documents
are hereby expressly limited so that in no event shall any of the Loans or other
amounts payable by the Borrowers under any of the Loan Documents be directly or
indirectly secured (within the meaning of Regulation U) by Margin Stock.

          15.20. Confidentiality. Subject to Section 15.01(f), the Agent,
the Lenders and the Issuing Banks shall hold all nonpublic information obtained
pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement in accordance with the Agent's,
such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's customary procedures for handling
confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound
banking practices and in any event may make disclosure (a) reasonably required
by a bona fide offeree, transferee or participant in connection with the
contemplated transfer or participation and shall require any such offeree,
transferee or participant to agree (and require any of its offerees, transferees
or participants to agree) in writing to comply with this Section 15.20 or (b) as
required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or
pursuant to legal process and, unless prohibited by any Requirement of Law, use
its best efforts to inform TIMCO of such request or legal process prior to its
compliance therewith. In no event shall the Agent, any Lender or any Issuing
Bank be obligated or required to return any materials furnished by Parent, any
Borrower, or any other Subsidiary of Parent; provided, however, each offeree
shall be required to agree that if it does not become a transferee or
participant it shall return all materials furnished to it by such Persons in
connection with this Agreement. Any and all confidentiality agreements entered
into between the Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank and Parent or any
Borrower shall survive the execution of this Agreement. The Parent and each
Borrower acknowledges that each of the Agent, Issuing Bank and Lenders and their
respective Affiliates (collectively, the "Bank Parties") may be providing debt
financing, equity capital or other services, including, without limitation,
advisory services, to other companies in respect of which the Parent and
Borrowers may have conflicting interests regarding transactions described herein
and otherwise. Each of the Bank Parties hereby agrees that it will not use
confidential information obtained from the Parent and/or Borrowers or other
Subsidiaries of Parent by virtue of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or its other relationships with the Parent and/or Borrowers in
connection with the performance by such Bank Party of services for other
companies nor will it furnish any such information to such other companies. The
Parent and Borrowers each hereby acknowledge that no Bank Party has any
obligation to use confidential information obtained from other companies in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or to furnish
the same to the Parent or any Borrower.

          15.21. Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, taken together with all of
the other Loan Documents, embodies the entire agreement and understanding among
the parties hereto and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings,
written and oral, relating to the subject matter hereof.

                                      127

<PAGE>

          15.22. Advice of Counsel. Each Borrower and each Lender and Issuing
Bank understand that the Agent's counsel represents only the Agent's and its
Affiliates' interests and that Parent, the Borrowers, other Lenders and other
Issuing Banks are advised to obtain their own counsel. Parent, and each Borrower
represents and warrants to the Agent and the other Holders that it has discussed
this Agreement with its counsel.

          15.23. Amendment and Restatement of Predecessor Agreement; No
Novation. Upon this Agreement becoming effective, the terms and provisions of
the Predecessor Agreement shall be and hereby are amended, superseded and
restated in their entirety by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. This
Agreement shall not constitute a novation with respect to the Predecessor
Agreement.

          15.24. Obligations of Borrowers Joint and Several. Each of the
Borrowers agrees that it shall be jointly and severally liable for all of the
Obligations. Each of the Borrowers is accepting joint and several liability
hereunder in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by the
Lenders and Issuing Banks under this Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly
and indirectly, of each of the Borrowers and in consideration of the
undertakings of each of the Borrowers to accept joint and several liability for
the obligations of each of them. Each of the Borrowers jointly and severally
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also
as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Borrowers with
respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations, it being the
intention of the parties hereto that all the Obligations shall be the joint and
several obligations of each of the Borrowers without preferences or distinction
among them. If and to the extent that any of the Borrowers shall fail to make
any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due or to perform
any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such
event, the other Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or perform,
such Obligation. The obligations of each Borrower under the provisions of this
Section 15.24 constitute full recourse obligations of such Borrower, enforceable
against it to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the
validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other
circumstances whatsoever. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each
Borrower hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability,
notice of any Loan made, or Letter of Credit issued, under this Agreement,
notice of occurrence of any Event of Default, or of any demand for any payment
under this Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by any
Lender or Issuing Bank under or in respect of any of the Obligations, any
requirement of diligence and, generally, all demands, notices and other
formalities of every kind in connection with this Agreement. Each Borrower
hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the
time for the payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any partial
payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by any
Lender or Issuing Bank at any time or times in respect of any default by any
Borrower in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or
provision of this Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by any
Lender in respect of any of the Obligations, and the taking, addition,
substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any
security for any of the Obligations or in part, at any time or times, of any
security for any of the Obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in
whole or in part, of any Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, each Borrower assents to any other action or delay in acting or
failure to act on the part of any Lender, including, without limitation, any
failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to
comply fully with the applicable laws or regulations thereunder which might, but
for the provisions of this Section 15.24, afford grounds for

                                      128

<PAGE>

terminating, discharging or relieving such Borrower, in whole or in part, from
any of its obligations under this Section 15.24, it being the intention of each
Borrower that, so long as any of the Obligations remain unsatisfied, the
obligations of such Borrower under this Section 15.24 shall not be discharged
except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The
Obligations of each Borrower under this Section 15.24 shall not be diminished or
rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement,
liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any Borrower
or any Lender. The joint and several liability of the Borrowers hereunder shall
continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any absorption, merger,
amalgamation or any other change whatsoever in the name, membership,
constitution or place of formation of any Borrower or any Lender or Issuing
Bank. The provisions of this Section 15.24 are made for the benefit of the
Holders and their respective successors and assigns, and may be enforced by any
such Person from time to time against any of the Borrowers as often as occasion
therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of any Holder first to
marshal any of its claims or to exercise any of its rights against any of the
other Borrowers or to exhaust any remedies available to it against any of the
other Borrowers or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment
of any of the Obligations or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this
Section 15.24 shall remain in effect until all the Obligations shall have been
paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied. If at any time, any payment, or any
part thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations, is rescinded or must
otherwise be restored or returned by any Holder upon the insolvency, bankruptcy
or reorganization of any of the Borrowers, or otherwise, the provisions of this
Section 15.24 will forthwith be reinstated in effect, as though such payment had
not been made. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or
in any other of the Loan Documents, to the extent the joint obligations of a
Borrower shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason
(including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law
relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of each
Borrower hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible
under applicable law (whether federal or state and including, without
limitation, the federal Bankruptcy Code). The Borrowers hereby agree, as among
themselves, that if any Borrower shall become an Excess Funding Borrower (as
defined below), each other Borrower shall, on demand of such Excess Funding
Borrower (but subject to the next sentence hereof and to subsection (B) below),
pay to such Excess Funding Borrower an amount equal to such Borrower's Pro Rata
Share (as defined below and determined, for this purpose, without reference to
the properties, assets, liabilities and debts of such Excess Funding Borrower)
of such Excess Payment (as defined below). The payment obligation of any
Borrower to any Excess Funding Borrower under this Section 15.24 shall be
subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the
Obligations of such Borrower under the other provisions of this Agreement, and
such Excess Funding Borrower shall not exercise any right or remedy with respect
to such excess until payment and satisfaction in full of all of such

           outstanding principal of the Loans and Holder Fundings and any other
           obligations under the Operative Agreements, in such order as the
           Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion."

           3.        Consent. Subject to the conditions set forth in this
        Amendment, the Owner Trustee, the Agent, the Lenders and the Holders
        consent to the execution and delivery by Kellstrom, KIAC, Kellstrom
        Aerospace and Aviation Sales of each of the following documents: (a) an
        amendment to the Kellstrom Sublease in the form of Exhibit B attached
        hereto (the "Sublease Amendment"); (b) an Amended and Restated
        Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement among the
        Agent, Bank of America, the Owner Trustee and Kellstrom, in the form of
        Exhibit C attached hereto (the "Amended and Restated SNDA"); (c) a
        Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement among the
        Agent, Bank of America, the Owner Trustee and Kellstrom Aerospace, in
        substantially the same form as Exhibit D attached hereto (the
        "Kellstrom Aerospace SNDA"); (d) an assignment to KIAC of Kellstrom's
        rights and obligations under the Amended Kellstrom Sublease, which
        assignment shall be in the form of Exhibit E-1 attached hereto (the
        "Sublease Assignment"), and (e) an assignment to Kellstrom Aerospace of
        KIAC's rights and obligations under the Amended Kellstrom Sublease in
        the form of Exhibit E-2 attached hereto (the "Second Sublease
        Assignment"), which consent shall be effective and deemed given only
        upon the receipt by the Agent, simultaneously with such assignment, of
        (i) the chattel paper original of the fully-executed Sublease
        Amendment; (ii) evidence of the assumption by Kellstrom (under the
        Bankruptcy Code) of the Kellstrom Sublease as amended by the Sublease
        Amendment

<PAGE>

     (the "Amended Kellstrom Sublease"); (iii) a fully-executed original of the
     Amended and Restated SNDA; (iv) a fully-executed original of the Kellstrom
     Aerospace SNDA; (v) the chattel paper original of the Sublease Assignment
     and the Second Sublease Assignment and evidence of the consummation of the

     non-appealable order of the court in the bankruptcy proceeding filed by
     Kellstrom, et al., Case No. 02-10536, in the United States Bankruptcy
     Court, District of Delaware, which order effectively approves each of the
     Sublease Amendment, Kellstrom's assumption of the Amended Kellstrom
     Sublease, and the Sublease Assignment. Until such time as the delivery of
     the documents and evidence required by clauses (i)-(vi) above are delivered
     to the Agent, and are determined to be satisfactory to the Agent and the
     Owner Trustee, and evidence satisfactory to the Agent of the payment of all
     taxes due and owning has been delivered, the consent contained in the
     Section 3 will not be effective.

        4.   Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The Lessee and the
Construction Agent hereby represent, warrant and covenant that:

        (a)  The representations and warranties made by the Lessee and  the
     Construction Agent in Section 7 of the Participation Agreement (other than
     those representations and warranties made with respect to Section 7.3(g)
     thereof) are true on and as of the date hereof with the same effect as
     though made on and as of the date hereof (except to the extent that the
     representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in
     which case such representations and warranties are true as of such date
     except that the direct and indirect Subsidiaries of the Lessee and the
     Construction Agent are as set forth in Schedule 7 attached hereto).

        (b)  The audited consolidated financial statements of each of the
     Construction Agent and the Lessee as of December 31, 2001, copies of which
     have been furnished to the Agent and the Owner Trustee, were prepared in
     accordance with GAAP and fairly present the financial condition of each of
     the Construction Agent and the Lessee and their Subsidiaries on a
     consolidated basis as of such date and their consolidated results of
     operations for the fiscal year then ended. Neither Aviation Sales nor any
     Guarantor or any Subsidiary of Aviation Sales has as of the date any
     Accommodation Obligation, contingent liability or liability for any taxes,
     long-term leases or commitments, not disclosed in writing to the Agent, the
     Lenders and the Holders prior to the date hereof.

        (c)  The business and properties of the Lessee and the Construction
     Agent and the Guarantors and the Subsidiaries of Aviation Sales are not,
     and since the Initial Closing Date have not been, adversely affected in any
     substantial way as the result of any fire, explosion, earthquake, accident,
     strike, lockout, combination of workmen, flood, embargo, riot, activities
     of armed forces, war or acts of God or the public enemy, or cancellation or
     loss of any major contracts;

        (d)  No event has occurred and no condition exists on the date hereof
     which, after giving effect to this consent and waiver agreement and the
     consent of the lenders under the Citicorp Loan Documents, constitutes or
     will constitute a Default or an Event of Default on the part of the Lessee
     or the Construction Agent or any Guarantor or any Subsidiary of Aviation
     Sales under the Participation Agreement or any other Operative

                                       23

<PAGE>

     Agreement, either immediately or with the lapse of time or the giving of
     notice, or both. Since December 31, 2001, no event has occurred with
     respect to the Lessee, the Construction Agent or any Guarantor or any
     Subsidiary of Aviation Sales which has resulted, or is reasonably likely to
     result, in a Material Adverse Effect.

     (e) There is as of the date hereof no action, suit, proceeding, claim,
     investigation or arbitration before or by any Governmental Authority or
     private arbitrator pending or, to the knowledge of Aviation Sales,
     threatened against Aviation Sales, any Guarantor or any Subsidiary of
     Aviation Sales or any of their respective Assets (i) challenging the
     validity or the enforceability of any of the Operative Agreements, (ii)
     which will, or is reasonably likely to, result in any Material Adverse
     Effect, or (iii) under the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt
     Organizations Act or any similar federal or state statute or law under any
     jurisdiction outside of the United States where such Person is a defendant
     in a criminal indictment that provides for the forfeiture of assets to any
     Governmental Authority as a criminal penalty. There is as of the date
     hereof no material loss contingency within the meaning of GAAP which has
     not been reflected in the Financial Statements of Aviation Sales and its
     Subsidiaries. Neither Aviation Sales nor any Guarantor or any Subsidiary of
     Aviation Sales is as of the date hereof subject to or in default with
     respect to any final judgment, writ, injunction, restraining order or order
     of any nature, decree, rule or regulation of any court or Governmental
     Authority which will, or is reasonably likely to, result in a Material
     Adverse Effect.

             (f)   The Lessee shall pay to the Agent a restructuring fee of
     $225,000.00, which shall be payable in twelve (12) monthly installments of
     $18,750.00 each, payable on the 17th day of each month commencing July 17,
     2002. Failure to make each payment on the date due and payable shall be an
     immediate Event of Default.

     This Amendment shall be deemed to be an Operative Agreement and any
violation of a covenant contained herein shall be a violation of an Operative
Agreement.

     5. Conditions.  The effectiveness of this Amendment shall be subject to
fulfillment of the following conditions:

        (a)  The Agent shall have received on the date hereof, in form and

<PAGE>

     priority of any Lien in favor of the Owner Trustee or the Agent (on behalf

     6.   Release.

          (a)  Aviation Sales and its Subsidiaries acknowledge that they have no
     existing defense, counterclaim, offset, cross-complaint, claim or demand of
     any kind or nature whatsoever that can be asserted to reduce or eliminate
     all or any part of their or the Owner Trustee's respective liability to pay
     or perform any obligations pursuant to any of the Operative Agreements or
     any other documents which evidence or secure any obligations owed under any
     Operative Agreement. In consideration for the execution of this Amendment,
     each of Aviation Sales and each of its Subsidiaries hereby releases and
     forever discharges, Bank of America, the Agent, the Lenders, the Holders
     and the Owner Trustee and all of their respective officers, directors,
     employees, Affiliates and agents (collectively, the "Released Parties")
     from any and all actions, causes of action, debts, dues, claims, demands,
     liabilities and obligations of every kind and nature, both in law and in
     equity, known or unknown, whether heretofore or now existing, liquidated or
     unliquidated, matured or unmatured, fixed or contingent (collectively, the
     "Release Claims"), which might be asserted against any of the Released
     Parties. This Release applies to all matters arising out of or relating to
     the Operative Agreements, any Property, any obligations due under any of
     the Operative Agreements and this Consent Agreement, commitment letters
     with respect to other loan facilities, and the lending and borrowing
     relationships, and (to the extent any Release Claims relating to such
     deposit relationships are now known to Aviation Sales or any of its
     Subsidiaries) the deposit relationships,

                                       26

<PAGE>

     between Aviation Sales or its Subsidiaries, and Bank of America, the Agent,
     the Lenders, the Holders and the Owner Trustee, including the
     administration, collateralization and funding thereof. Each of Aviation
     Sales and each of its Subsidiaries further agrees not to bring any action
     in any judicial, administrative or other proceeding against the Released
     Parties, or any of them, alleging any such Release Claim or otherwise
     arising in connection with any such Release Claim. Without limiting the
     generality of the foregoing, Aviation Sales and its Subsidiaries release
     any claims they may have for any overpayment of interest or Rent prior to
     the date hereof, and agree that any such claim shall be deemed a Release
     Claim for the purpose of this Agreement.

          (b)  It is the intent of the parties that except as otherwise set
     forth herein, the foregoing release shall be effective as a full and final
     accord and satisfaction of all claims hereby released and each of Aviation
     Sales and each of its Subsidiaries hereby agrees, represents and warrants
     that the matters released herein are not limited to matters which are known
     or disclosed. In this connection, each of Aviation Sales and each of its
     Subsidiaries hereby agrees, represents and warrants that it realizes and
     acknowledges that factual matters now existing and unknown to it may have
     given or may hereafter give rise to Release Claims, which are presently
     unknown, unsuspected, unliquidated, unmatured and/or contingent, and it
     further agrees, represents and warrants that this release has been
     negotiated and agreed upon in view of that realization. Nevertheless,
     Aviation Sales and its Subsidiaries hereby intend to release, discharge and
     acquit the Released Parties of and from any such unknown, unsuspected,
     unliquidated, unmatured and/or contingent Release Claims, which are in any
     way set forth in or related to the matters identified above in this Section
     5. Aviation Sales and its Subsidiaries hereby explicitly waive the benefits
     of any common law or statutory rule with respect to the release of such
     Release Claims.

          (c)  The acceptance and delivery of this Amendment by the Agent on
     behalf of the Released Parties shall not be deemed or construed as an
     admission of liability with respect to the Release Claims or otherwise by
     the Released Parties, or any of them, and the Released Parties hereby
     expressly deny liability of any nature whatsoever arising from or related
     to the subject of the release contained in this Section 6.

          (d)  Each of Aviation Sales and each of its Subsidiaries hereby
     agrees, represents and warrants that: (i) such party has not voluntarily,
     by operation of law or otherwise, assigned, conveyed, transferred or
     encumbered, either directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, any right
     to or interest in any of the Release Claims purported to be released by
     this Section 6; (ii) such party has had advice of counsel of its own
     choosing in negotiations for and the preparation of this Consent Agreement;
     and (iii) such party is fully aware of the effect of releases such as that
     contained in this Section 6.

     7.   Entire Agreement. This Amendment sets forth the entire understanding
and agreement of the parties hereto in relation to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes any prior negotiations and agreements among the parties relative to
such subject matter. No promise, conditions, representation or warranty, express
or implied, not herein set forth shall bind any party hereto, and no one of them
has relied on any such promise, condition, representation or warranty. Each of
the parties hereto acknowledges that, except as in this Amendment otherwise
expressly stated, no representations, warranties or commitments, express or
implied, have been made by any other party to the other. None of the terms or
conditions of this Amendment may

                                       27

<PAGE>

be changed, modified, waived or canceled orally or otherwise, except by writing,
signed by all the parties hereto, specifying such change, modification, waiver
or cancellation of such terms or conditions, or of any proceeding or succeeding
breach thereof.

     8.   Full Force and Effect of Operative Agreements. Except as hereby
specifically amended, modified or supplemented, the Participation Agreement, the
Lease and all of the other Operative Agreements are hereby confirmed and
ratified in all respects and shall remain in full force and effect according to
their respective terms.

     9.   Limited Consent. The consent contained herein is limited as specified
herein, and is granted only for the specific instances specified herein. In no
event shall the consent contained herein constitute a waiver of any existing or
future default or Event of Default, and shall not in any manner create a course
of dealing or otherwise impair the future ability of the Agent, the Owner
Trustee, the Lender or the Holders to declare a default or otherwise enforce the
terms of any Operative Agreement.

     10.  Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
