                           WELLCARE HEALTH PLANS, INC.

                            INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

      This INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is entered into as of
____________, 200_, by and between WellCare Health Plans, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), and ____________________________________
("Indemnitee"). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this
Agreement have the meanings set forth in Section 10 hereof.

                                    RECITALS

      A. The Company and Indemnitee recognize the continued difficulty in
obtaining liability insurance for the directors, officers, employees, agents and
fiduciaries of the Company and its Subsidiaries, the significant increases in
the cost of such insurance and the general reductions in the coverage of such
insurance.

      B. The Company and Indemnitee further recognize the substantial increase
in corporate litigation in general, subjecting directors, officers, employees,
agents and fiduciaries to expensive litigation risks at the same time as the
availability and coverage of liability insurance has been severely limited.

      C. Indemnitee does not regard the current protection available as adequate
under the present circumstances, and Indemnitee and other directors, officers,
employees, agents and fiduciaries of the Company may not be willing to continue
to serve in such capacities without additional protection.

      D. The Company desires to attract and retain the services of highly
qualified individuals, such as Indemnitee, to serve the Company and/or one or
more of its Subsidiaries and, in order to induce Indemnitee to provide or to
continue to provide services to the Company and/or one or more of its
Subsidiaries, wishes to provide for the indemnification and advancing of
expenses to Indemnitee to the maximum extent permitted by law.

      E. In view of the considerations set forth above, the Company desires that
Indemnitee be indemnified by the Company as set forth herein.

      NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and Indemnitee hereby agree as follows:

            1. Indemnification.

                  (a) Indemnification of Expenses. The Company shall indemnify
Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law if Indemnitee was or is or
becomes a party to or witness or other participant in, or is threatened to be
made a party to or witness or other participant in, any Proceeding, against any
and all Expenses, including all interest, assessments and other charges
<PAGE>
paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses. Subject to
Section 1(b) hereof, such payment of Expenses shall be made by the Company as
soon as practicable but in any event no later than thirty (30) days after
written demand by Indemnitee therefor is presented to the Company.

                  (b) Reviewing Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in Sections 1(a) or 2(a) hereof:

                        (i) the indemnification obligations of the Company under
Section 1(a) hereof shall be subject to the condition that the Reviewing Party
shall not have determined that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be
indemnified under applicable law; and

                        (ii) the obligation of the Company to make an advance
payment of Expenses to Indemnitee pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof (an "Expense
Advance") shall be subject to the condition that, if, when and to the extent
that the Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be
indemnified under applicable law, the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed
by Indemnitee (who hereby agrees to reimburse the Company) for all such amounts
theretofore paid by Company to Indemnitee; provided, however, that if Indemnitee
has commenced or thereafter commences legal proceedings in a court of competent
jurisdiction to secure a determination that Indemnitee should be indemnified
under applicable law, any determination made by the Reviewing Party that
Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law shall
not be binding and Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the Company for
any Expense Advance until a final judicial determination is made with respect
thereto (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or
lapsed).

      Indemnitee's obligation to reimburse the Company for any Expense Advance
shall be unsecured and no interest shall be charged thereon. If there has not
been a Change in Control, or it there has been a Change in Control which has
been approved by a majority of the directors of the Company who were directors
immediately prior to the Change in Control (the "Incumbent Directors"), the
Reviewing Party shall be selected by the Board of Directors of the Company, and
if there has been a Change in Control which has not been approved by a majority
of the Incumbent Directors, the Reviewing Party shall be the Independent Legal
Counsel. If there has been no determination by the Reviewing Party or if the
Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be
indemnified in whole or in part under applicable law, Indemnitee shall have the
right to commence litigation seeking an initial determination by the court or
challenging any such determination by the Reviewing Party or any aspect thereof,
including the legal or factual bases therefor, and the Company hereby consents
to service of process and to appear in any such proceeding. Any determination by
the Reviewing Party otherwise shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and
Indemnitee.

                  (c) Contribution. If the indemnification obligations of the
Company under Section 1(a) hereof shall be held by a court of competent
jurisdiction for any reason other than that set forth in Section 8(a) hereof to
be unavailable to Indemnitee in respect of any Expense, then the Company, in
lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid
or payable by Indemnitee as a result of such Expense (i) in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and
Indemnitee, or (ii) if the allocation

                                       2
<PAGE>
provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred
to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and Indemnitee
in connection with the action or inaction which resulted in such Expense, as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The Company and Indemnitee
agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this
Section 1(c) were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation or by any
other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable
considerations referred to in the immediately preceding sentence.

                  (d) Mandatory Payment of Expenses. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee has been successful
on the merits or otherwise, including, without limitation, the dismissal of an
action without prejudice, in defense of any Proceeding or in the defense of any
claim, issue or matter therein, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all
Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection therewith.

            2. Expenses; Indemnification Procedure.

                  (a) Advancement of Expenses. Subject to the terms and
conditions of Section 1(b) hereof and to the extent not prohibited by applicable
law, the Company shall advance all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee. The advances
to be made hereunder shall be paid by the Company to Indemnitee as soon as
practicable but in any event no later than thirty (30) days after written demand
by Indemnitee therefor to the Company.

                  (b) Notice; Cooperation by Indemnitee. Indemnitee shall, as a
condition precedent to Indemnitee's right to be indemnified under this
Agreement, give the Company notice in writing as soon as practicable of any
Proceeding for which indemnification will or could be sought under this
Agreement. In addition, Indemnitee shall give the Company such information and
cooperation as it may reasonably require and as shall be within Indemnitee's
power.

                  (c) No Presumptions; Burden of Proof

                        (i) For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of
any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court
approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendre or its equivalent,
shall not create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet any particular
standard of conduct or have any particular belief or that a court has determined
that indemnification is not permitted by applicable law. In addition, neither
the failure of the Reviewing Party to have made a determination as to whether
Indemnitee has met any particular standard of conduct or had any particular
belief, nor an actual determination by the Reviewing Party that Indemnitee has
not met such standard of conduct or did not have such belief, prior to the
commencement of legal proceedings by Indemnitee to secure a judicial
determination that Indemnitee should be indemnified under applicable law, shall
be a defense to Indemnitee's claim or create a presumption that Indemnitee has
not met any particular standard of conduct or did not have any particular
belief.

                                       3
<PAGE>
                        (ii) In connection with any determination by the
Reviewing Party or otherwise as to whether Indemnitee is entitled to be
indemnified hereunder, the burden of proof shall be on the Company to establish
that Indemnitee is not so entitled.

                  (d) Notice to Insurers. If, at the time of the receipt by the
Company of a notice of a Proceeding pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof, the Company
has liability insurance in effect which may cover such Proceeding, the Company
shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such Proceeding to the insurers
in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The
Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such
insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of
such action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation in accordance with the
terms of such policies.

                  (e) Selection of Counsel. In the event the Company shall be
obligated hereunder to pay the Expenses of a Proceeding, the Company shall be
entitled to assume the defense of such Proceeding with counsel approved by
Indemnitee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, upon
the delivery to Indemnitee of written notice of its election so to do. After
delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by Indemnitee and the
retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to
Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by
Indemnitee with respect to the same Proceeding; provided that (i) Indemnitee
shall have the right to employ Indemnitee's counsel in any such Proceeding at
Indemnitee's expense and (ii) if (A) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has
been previously authorized by the Company, (B) Indemnitee shall have reasonably
concluded that there is a conflict of interest between the Company and
Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense, or (C) the Company shall not
continue to retain such counsel to defend such Proceeding, then the fees and
expenses of Indemnitee's counsel shall be at the expense of the Company. The
Company shall have the right to conduct such defense as it sees fit in its sole
discretion, provided that the Company has the right to settle any claim against
Indemnitee only with the consent of Indemnitee, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed.

            3. Scope; Nonexclusivity.

                  (a) Scope. It is understood that the parties to this Agreement
intend for this Agreement to be interpreted and enforced so as to provide
indemnification and advancement of Expenses to Indemnitee to the fullest extent
now or hereafter permitted by law, subject only to the express exceptions and
limitations otherwise set forth in this Agreement. In the event of any change
after the date of this Agreement in any applicable law, statute or rule which
expands the right of the Company to indemnify a member of the Board of Directors
or an officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company or any Subsidiary, as
applicable, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy
by this Agreement the greater benefits afforded by such change. In the event of
any change in any applicable law, statute or rule which narrows the right of the
Company to indemnify a member of the Board of Directors or an officer, employee,
agent or fiduciary of the Company or any Subsidiary, as applicable, such change,
to the extent not otherwise required by such law, statute or rule to be applied
to this Agreement, shall have no effect on this Agreement or the parties' rights
and obligations hereunder.

                                       4
<PAGE>
                  (b) Nonexclusivity. The indemnification and advancement of
Expenses provided by this Agreement shall be in addition to any rights to which
Indemnitee may be entitled under the charter documents of the Company or any
Subsidiary, any agreement, any vote of stockholders or disinterested directors,
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or otherwise.

            4. No Duplication of Payments. The Company shall not be liable under
this Agreement to make any payment in connection with any Proceeding against
Indemnitee to the extent Indemnitee has otherwise actually received payment
(under any insurance policy, charter documents of the Company or any Subsidiary
or otherwise) of the amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder.

            5. Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any
provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a
portion of Expenses incurred in connection with any Proceeding, but not for all
of the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee
for the portion of such Expenses to which Indemnitee is entitled.

            6. Mutual Acknowledgement. Both the Company and Indemnitee
acknowledge that in certain instances, Federal law or applicable public policy
may prohibit the Company from indemnifying its directors, officers, employees,
agents or fiduciaries under this Agreement or otherwise. Indemnitee understands
and acknowledges that the Company may be required in the future to undertake
with the Securities and Exchange Commission to submit the question of
indemnification to a court in certain circumstances for a determination of the
Company's right under public policy to indemnify Indemnitee.

            7. Maintenance of Liability Insurance. The Company shall, from time
to time, make the good faith determination whether or not it is practicable for
the Company to obtain and maintain a policy or policies of insurance with
reputable insurance companies providing the officers and directors of the
Company with coverage for losses from wrongful acts, or to ensure the Company's
performance of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement. Among other
considerations, the Company will weigh the costs of obtaining such insurance
coverage against the protection afforded by such coverage. In all policies of
director and officer liability insurance, Indemnitee shall be named as an
insured in such a manner as to provide Indemnitee the same rights and benefits
as are accorded to the most favorably insured of the Company's directors, if
Indemnitee is a director, or of the Company's officers, if Indemnitee is not a
director of the Company but is an officer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company shall have no obligation to obtain or maintain such insurance if the
Company determines in good faith that such insurance is not reasonably
available, if the premium costs for such insurance are disproportionate to the
amount of coverage proved, if the coverage provided by such insurance is limited
by exclusions so as to provide an insufficient benefit, or if Indemnitee is
covered by similar insurance maintained by a parent or Subsidiary of the Company

            8. Exceptions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein other
than Section 1(d) hereof, the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement:

                                       5
<PAGE>
                  (a) Unlawful Claims. To indemnify Indemnitee with respect to
any Proceeding if a final decision by a court having jurisdiction shall have
determined that such indemnification is not lawful;

                  (b) Proceedings Initiated by Indemnitee. To indemnify or
advance Expenses to Indemnitee with respect to Proceedings initiated or brought
voluntarily by Indemnitee and not by way of defense, except (i) with respect to
any Proceeding (x) brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification or
advancement of Expenses under this Agreement, or any other agreement, or
insurance policy, or the charter documents of the Company or any Subsidiary, now
or hereafter in effect relating to any Proceeding, or (y) specifically
authorized by the Board of Directors, or (ii) as otherwise required under
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, regardless of whether
Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification,
advance expense payment or insurance recovery, as the case may be; provided,
however, that such indemnification or advancement of Expenses may be provided by
the Company in specific cases if the Board of Directors determines it to be
appropriate;

                  (c) Claims Under Section 16(b). To indemnify Indemnitee for
Expenses, judgments, fines or penalties sustained in any Proceeding for an
accounting of profits arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of
securities of the Company in violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder, or any similar provisions of any federal, state or local
statute; or

                  (d) Lack of Good Faith. To indemnify Indemnitee for any
Expenses incurred by Indemnitee with respect to any Proceeding instituted by
Indemnitee to enforce or interpret this Agreement, if a court of competent
jurisdiction determines that each of the material assertions made by Indemnitee
in such Proceeding was not made in good faith or was frivolous.

            9. Period of Limitations. No legal action shall be brought and no
cause of action shall be asserted by or in the right of the Company against
Indemnitee, Indemnitee's estate, spouse, heirs, executors or personal or legal
representatives after the expiration of three (3) years from the date of accrual
of such cause of action, and any claim or cause of action of the Company shall
be extinguished and deemed released unless asserted by the timely filing of a
legal action within such three-year period; provided, however, that if any
shorter period of limitations is otherwise applicable to any such cause of
action, such shorter period shall govern.

            10. Construction of Certain Terms and Phrases. As used in this
Agreement, the following terms and phrases shall have the meanings set forth
below:

                  (a) A "Change in Control" shall be deemed to have occurred if
(i) any "person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the
Exchange Act), other than a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under
an employee benefit plan of the Company or a corporation owned directly or
indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same
proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company, (A) who is or becomes
the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company
representing 10% or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then
outstanding Voting Securities, increases

                                       6
<PAGE>
his beneficial ownership of such securities by 5% or more over the percentage so
owned by such person, or (B) becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule
13d-3 under said Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company
representing more than 20% of the total voting power represented by the
Company's then outstanding Voting Securities, (ii) during any period of two
consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute
the Board of Directors of the Company and any new director whose election by the
Board of Directors or nomination for election by the Company's stockholders was
approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office
who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or
nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to
constitute a majority thereof, or (iii) the stockholders of the Company approve
a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation other than a
merger or consolidation which would result in the Voting Securities of the
Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by
remaining outstanding or by being converted into Voting Securities of the
surviving entity) at least 80% of the total voting power represented by the
Voting Securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding
immediately after such merger or consolidation, or the stockholders of the
Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement
for the sale or disposition by the Company of (in one transaction or a series of
transactions) all or substantially all of the Company's assets.

                  (b) References to the "Company" shall include, in addition to
the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any
constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if
its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to
indemnify its directors, officers, employees, agents or fiduciaries, so that if
Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of such
constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent
corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust or other
enterprise, Indemnitee shall stand in the same position under the provisions of
this Agreement with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as
Indemnitee would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its
separate existence had continued.

                  (c) "Expense" shall include any and all expenses (including
attorneys' fees and all other costs, expenses and obligations incurred in
connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in or participating in
(including on appeal), or preparing to defend, be a witness in or participate
in, a Proceeding), judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement
(if such settlement is approved in advance by the Company, which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of a Proceeding, and any federal,
state, local or foreign taxes imposed on Indemnitee as a result of the actual or
deemed receipt of any payments under this Agreement.

                  (d) "Independent Legal Counsel" shall mean an attorney or firm
of attorneys who shall not have otherwise performed services for the Company or
Indemnitee within the last three years (other than with respect to matters
concerning the rights of Indemnitee under this Agreement, or of other
indemnitees under similar indemnity agreements). Independent Legal Counsel shall
be selected as follows: (i) by a majority of the Disinterested Directors if
there has

                                       7
<PAGE>
not been a Change in Control or if there has been a Change in Control which has
been approved by a majority of the Incumbent Directors; or (ii) by Indemnitee,
subject to the approval by a majority of the Disinterested Directors (which
shall not be unreasonably withheld), if there has been a Change in Control which
has not been approved by a majority of the Incumbent Directors. The Company
agrees to pay the reasonable fees of the Independent Legal Counsel, regardless
of which party selects the Independent Legal Counsel.

                  (e) References to "other enterprises" shall include employee
benefit plans; references to "fines" shall include any excise taxes assessed on
Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to "serving
at the request of the Company" shall include any service as a director, officer,
employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company which imposes duties on, or involves
services by, such director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary with respect
to an employee benefit plan, its participants or its beneficiaries.

                  (f) "Proceeding" shall mean any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit, proceeding or alternative dispute resolution mechanism,
or any hearing, inquiry or investigation that Indemnitee in good faith believes
might lead to the institution of any such action, suit, proceeding or
alternative dispute resolution mechanism, whether brought by or in the right of
the Company or any Subsidiary or otherwise, and whether civil, criminal,
administrative, investigative or other, in which Indemnitee was or is or becomes
a party to or witness or other participant in, or is threatened to be made a
party to or witness or other participant by reason of (or arising in part out
of) any event or occurrence related to the fact that Indemnitee is or was a
director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company or any
Subsidiary, or is or was serving at the request of the Company or any Subsidiary
as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or by reason of any
action or inaction on the part of Indemnitee while serving in such capacity.

                  (g) "Reviewing Party" shall mean (i) the Board of Directors
acting by a majority vote of the directors who are not and were not parties to
the Proceeding in respect of which indemnification is being sought (the
"Disinterested Directors"), (ii) a committee of some or all of the Disinterested
Directors designated by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, or (iii)
Independent Legal Counsel.

                  (h) "Subsidiary" shall mean any corporation or other entity of

            11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original.

            12. Binding Effect; Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties
hereto and their respective successors (including any direct or indirect
successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or

                                       8
<PAGE>
otherwise to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the
Company), assigns, spouses, heirs, and personal and legal representatives. The
Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by
purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all, substantially all, or a
substantial part, of the business and/or assets of the Company, by written
agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly
to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same
extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had
taken place. This Agreement shall continue in effect with respect to any
Proceeding regardless of whether Indemnitee continues to serve as a director,
officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company, any Subsidiary or any
other enterprise at the Company's request.

            13. Attorneys' Fees. In the event that any action is instituted by
Indemnitee under this Agreement or under any liability insurance policies
maintained by the Company to enforce or interpret any of the terms hereof or
thereof, Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid all expenses incurred by
Indemnitee with respect to such action, regardless of whether Indemnitee is
ultimately successful in such action, and shall be entitled to the advancement
of such expenses with respect to such action, unless, as a part of such action,
a court of competent jurisdiction over such action determines that each of the
material assertions made by Indemnitee as a basis for such action was not made
in good faith or was frivolous. In the event of an action instituted by or in
the name of the Company under this Agreement to enforce or interpret any of the
terms of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid all expenses
incurred by Indemnitee in defense of such action (including costs and expenses
incurred with respect to Indemnitee counterclaims and cross-claims made in such
action), and shall be entitled to the advancement of such expenses with respect
to such action, unless, as a part of such action, a court having jurisdiction
over such action determines that each of Indemnitee's material defenses to such
action was not made in good faith or was frivolous.

            14. Notice. All notices and other communications required or
permitted hereunder shall be in writing, shall be effective when received, and
shall in any event be deemed to be received (a) five (5) days after deposit with
the U.S. Postal Service or other applicable postal service, if delivered by
certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, (b) upon delivery, if delivered
by hand, (c) one business day after the business day of deposit with Federal
Express or similar overnight courier, freight prepaid, or (d) one day after the
business day of delivery by facsimile transmission, if delivered by facsimile
transmission, with copy by first class mail, postage prepaid, and shall be
addressed if to Indemnitee, at Indemnitee's address as set forth beneath
Indemnitee's signature to this Agreement and if to the Company at the address of
its principal corporate offices (attention: Secretary) or at such other address
as a party may designate by ten days' advance written notice to the other party
hereto.

            15. Headings. The headings used in this Agreement have been inserted
for convenience of reference only and do not define or limit the provisions
hereof.

            16. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be
severable in the event that any of the provisions hereof (including any
provision within a single section, paragraph or sentence) are held by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or otherwise

                                       9
<PAGE>
unenforceable, and the remaining provisions shall remain enforceable to the
fullest extent permitted by law. Furthermore, to the fullest extent possible,
the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitations, each portion
of this Agreement containing any provision held to be invalid, void or otherwise
unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, void or unenforceable) shall be

thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account in New
York City as the Administrative Agent may designate not later than 1:00 p.m.,
New York City time, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly credit the
amounts so received to an account designated by the applicable Borrower in the
applicable Borrowing Request or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date
because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, return
the amounts so received to the respective Lenders. The Rollover Lenders shall be
deemed to have funded a portion of the Term Loans to be made by them hereunder
equal to the Rollover Amount through the conversion of the Discount Notes as
provided in the Rollover Agreement and Section 4.02(i), and shall not be
required to fund such portion of their Term Loans pursuant to the immediately
preceding sentence (it being agreed that such deemed funding shall not affect
the applicable Borrowers' obligation to pay the entire principal amount of the
Term Loans of the Rollover Lenders as provided in Section 2.11).

      (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a
Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make
available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's portion of such Borrowing,
the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion
available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in
accordance with paragraph (c) of

<PAGE>

                                                                              31

this Section and the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion and in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower on such
date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made
funds available, then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such
portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the applicable
Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on
demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day
from and including the date such amount is made available to such Borrower to
but excluding the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i)
in the case of such Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate
applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the
case of such Lender, (A) for the first three days following the date such amount
is made available to such Borrower, a rate determined by the Administrative
Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds (which
determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) and (B) thereafter, at
the Alternate Base Rate. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent
such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender's Loan as
part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

      (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrowers
shall not be entitled to request any Revolving Credit Borrowing if the Interest
Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Revolving Credit
Maturity Date.

      (f) If the Issuing Bank shall not have received from any Borrower the
payment required to be made by Section 2.23(e) within the time specified in such
Section, the Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the
L/C Disbursement and the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each
Revolving Credit Lender of such L/C Disbursement and its Pro Rata Percentage
thereof. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m., New York
City time, on such date (or, if such Revolving Credit Lender shall have received
such notice later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on any day, not later
than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Business Day),
an amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of such L/C Disbursement
(it being understood that such amount shall be deemed to constitute an ABR
Revolving Loan of such Lender and such payment shall be deemed to have reduced
the L/C Exposure), and the Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the Issuing
Bank amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lenders. The
Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the Issuing Bank any amounts received
by it from the applicable Borrower pursuant to Section 2.23(e) prior to the time
that any Revolving Credit Lender makes any payment pursuant to this paragraph;
any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent thereafter will be
promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Credit Lenders
that shall have made such payments and to the Issuing Bank, as their interests
may appear. If any Revolving Credit Lender shall not have made its Pro Rata
Percentage of such L/C Disbursement available to the Administrative Agent as
provided above, such Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay
interest on such amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is
required to be paid in accordance with this paragraph to but excluding the date
such amount is paid, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing
Bank at (i) in the case of such Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the interest
rate applicable at the

<PAGE>

                                                                              32

time to Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.06(a), and (ii) in the case of
such Lender, a rate per annum equal to, for the first such day, the Federal
Funds Effective Rate and, for each day thereafter, the Alternate Base Rate.

      SECTION 2.03. BORROWING PROCEDURE. In order to request a Borrowing (other
than a Swingline Loan or a deemed Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(f), as to
which this Section shall not apply), a Borrower shall hand deliver or fax to the
Administrative Agent a duly completed Borrowing Request (a) in the case of a
Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, three
Business Days before a proposed Borrowing, and (b) in the case of an ABR
Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, one Business Day
before a proposed Borrowing. Each Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable, shall
be signed by or on behalf of the applicable Borrower and shall specify the
following information: (i) whether the Borrowing then being requested is to be a
Term Borrowing, an Other Term Borrowing or a Revolving Credit Borrowing, and
whether such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing; (ii)
the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the number and
location of the account to which funds are to be disbursed; (iv) the amount of
such Borrowing; and (v) if such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the
Interest Period with respect thereto; provided, however, that, notwithstanding
any contrary specification in any Borrowing Request, each requested Borrowing
shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section 2.02. If no election as
to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested
Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any
Eurodollar Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the applicable
Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month's
duration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the applicable Lenders
of any notice given pursuant to this Section, and of each Lender's portion of
the requested Borrowing.

      SECTION 2.04. EVIDENCE OF DEBT; REPAYMENT OF LOANS. (a) Each Borrower
hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Lender (i) the principal amount of each Term Loan of such Lender
as provided in Section 2.11 and (ii) the then unpaid principal amount of each
Revolving Loan of such Lender on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. Each
Borrower hereby promises to pay to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid
principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

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

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

                                                                              33

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

      (e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it hereunder be evidenced by
a promissory note. In such event, the applicable Borrower shall execute and
deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and its
registered assigns and in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent and the Borrowers. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, in the event any Lender shall request and receive such a
promissory note, the interests represented by such note shall at all times
(including after any assignment of all or part of such interests pursuant to
Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes payable to the
payee named therein or its registered assigns.

      SECTION 2.05. FEES. (a) The Borrowers agree to pay to each Lender, through
the Administrative Agent, on the last Business Day of March, June, September and
December in each year and on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitment
of such Lender shall expire or be terminated as provided herein, a commitment
fee (a "COMMITMENT FEE") equal to 0.50% per annum on the daily unused amount of
the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender during the preceding quarter (or
shorter period commencing with the date hereof or ending with the Revolving
Credit Maturity Date or the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitment of
such Lender shall be terminated). All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the
basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. For purposes
of calculating Commitment Fees only, outstanding Swingline Loans shall not be
deemed to constitute utilization of the Revolving Credit Commitments.

      (b) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own
account, the administrative fees set forth in the Fee Letter at the times and in
the amounts specified therein (the "ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT FEES").

      (c) The Borrowers agree to pay (i) to each Revolving Credit Lender,
through the Administrative Agent, on the last Business Day of March, June,
September and December of each year and on the date on which the Revolving
Credit Commitment of such Lender shall be terminated as provided herein, a fee
(an "L/C PARTICIPATION FEE") calculated on such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of
the daily aggregate L/C Exposure (excluding the portion thereof attributable to
unreimbursed L/C Disbursements) during the preceding quarter (or shorter period
commencing with the date hereof or ending with the Revolving Credit Maturity
Date or the date on which all Letters of Credit have been canceled or have
expired and the Revolving Credit Commitments of all Lenders shall have been
terminated) at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Percentage from time to
time used to determine the interest rate on Revolving Credit Borrowings
comprised of Eurodollar Loans pursuant to Section 2.06, and (ii) to the Issuing
Bank, (x) on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of
each year and on the date on
<PAGE>

                                                                              34

which all the Letters of Credit issued by it shall have been canceled or have
expired, a fronting fee equal to 0.25% per annum on the aggregate face amount of
such Letters of Credit outstanding during the preceding quarter (or shorter
period commencing on the date hereof or ending on the date on which all Letters
of Credit have been canceled or have expired) and (y) the standard issuance and
drawing fees specified from time to time by the Issuing Bank (the "ISSUING BANK
FEES"). All L/C Participation Fees and Issuing Bank Fees shall be computed on
the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.

      (c) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available
funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate,
among the Lenders, except that the Issuing Bank Fees shall be paid directly to
the Issuing Bank. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any
circumstances.

      SECTION 2.06. INTEREST ON LOANS. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section
2.07, the Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing, including each Swingline Loan,
shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed
over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, when the Alternate Base Rate
is determined by reference to the Prime Rate and over a year of 360 days at all
other times and calculated from and including the date of such Borrowing to but
excluding the date of repayment thereof) at a rate per annum equal to the
Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time.

      (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each
Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual
number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the
Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the
Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time.

      (c) Interest on each Loan shall be payable on the Interest Payment Dates
applicable to such Loan except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The
applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate for each Interest Period or
day within an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be determined by the
Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest
error.

      SECTION 2.07. DEFAULT INTEREST. If any Borrower shall default in the
payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan or any other amount due
hereunder, by acceleration or otherwise, or under any other Loan Document, then,
until such defaulted amount shall have been paid in full, to the extent
permitted by law, all amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents shall bear interest (after as well as before judgment), payable
on demand, (a) in the case of principal, at the rate otherwise applicable to
such Loan pursuant to Section 2.06 plus 2% per annum and (b) in all other cases,
at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed
over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, when determined by reference
to the Prime Rate and over a year of 360 days at all other times) equal to the
rate that would be applicable to an ABR Loan plus 2% per annum.

                                                                              35

      SECTION 2.08. ALTERNATE RATE OF INTEREST. In the event, and on each
occasion, that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any
Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing the Administrative Agent shall have
determined that dollar deposits in the principal amounts of the Loans comprising
such Borrowing are not generally available in the London interbank market, or
that the rates at which such dollar deposits are being offered will not
adequately and fairly reflect the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining
its Eurodollar Loan during such Interest Period, or that reasonable means do not
exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Administrative Agent shall,
as soon as practicable thereafter, give written or fax notice of such
determination to the Borrowers and the Lenders. In the event of any such
determination, until the Administrative Agent shall have advised the Borrowers
and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer
exist, any request by any Borrower for a Eurodollar Borrowing pursuant to
Section 2.03 or 2.10 shall be deemed to be a request for an ABR Borrowing. Each
determination by the Administrative Agent under this Section shall be conclusive
absent manifest error.

      SECTION 2.09. TERMINATION AND REDUCTION OF COMMITMENTS. (a) The Term Loan
Commitments shall automatically terminate upon the making of the Term Loans on
the Closing Date. Unless earlier terminated pursuant to the terms hereof, the
Revolving Credit Commitments and the Swingline Commitment shall automatically
terminate on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. The L/C Commitment shall, with
respect to issuance of Letters of Credit, automatically terminate on the earlier
to occur of (i) the date 30 days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and
(ii) the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, all Commitments shall automatically terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, on the date hereof, if the initial Credit Event shall not have
occurred by such time (other than as a result of a breach of this Credit
Agreement by any Lender).

      (b) Upon at least three Business Days' prior irrevocable written or fax
notice to the Administrative Agent, Parent may at any time in whole permanently
terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Incremental Term
Loan Commitments or the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, however, that
(i) each partial reduction of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments or the
Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and
in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and (ii) the Total Revolving Credit Commitment
shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the Aggregate Revolving
Credit Exposure at the time.

      (c) Each reduction in the Incremental Term Loan Commitments or the
Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among the Lenders
in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments. The Borrowers shall
pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, on
the date of each termination or reduction, the accrued but unpaid Commitment
Fees on the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments so terminated or reduced
accrued to but excluding the date of such termination or reduction.

      SECTION 2.10. CONVERSION AND CONTINUATION OF BORROWINGS. The applicable
Borrower shall have the right at any time upon prior irrevocable notice to the

<PAGE>

                                                                              36

Administrative Agent (a) not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, one
Business Day prior to conversion, to convert any Eurodollar Borrowing into an
ABR Borrowing, (b) not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, three Business
Days prior to conversion or continuation, to convert any ABR Borrowing into a
Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue any Eurodollar Borrowing as a Eurodollar
Borrowing for an additional Interest Period, and (c) not later than 12:00 noon,
New York City time, three Business Days prior to conversion, to convert the
Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing to another permissible
Interest Period, subject in each case to the following:

            (i) each conversion or continuation shall be made pro rata among the
      Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the Loans
      comprising the converted or continued Borrowing;

            (ii) if less than all the outstanding principal amount of any
      Borrowing shall be converted or continued, then each resulting Borrowing
      shall satisfy the limitations specified in Sections 2.02(a) and (b)
      regarding the principal amount and maximum number of Borrowings of the
      relevant Type;

            (iii) each conversion shall be effected by each Lender and the
      Administrative Agent by recording for the account of such Lender the new
      Loan of such Lender resulting from such conversion and reducing the Loan
      (or portion thereof) of such Lender being converted by an equivalent
      principal amount; accrued interest on any Eurodollar Loan (or portion
      thereof) being converted shall be paid by the applicable Borrower at the
      time of conversion;

            (iv) if any Eurodollar Borrowing is converted at a time other than
      the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the applicable Borrower
      shall pay, upon demand, any amounts due to the Lenders pursuant to Section
      2.16;

            (v) any portion of a Borrowing maturing or required to be repaid in
      less than one month may not be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar
      Borrowing;

            (vi) any portion of a Eurodollar Borrowing that cannot be converted
      into or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing by reason of the immediately
      preceding clause shall be automatically converted at the end of the
      Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing;

            (vii) no Interest Period may be selected for any Eurodollar Term
      Borrowing that would end later than a Repayment Date occurring on or after
      the first day of such Interest Period if, after giving effect to such
      selection, the aggregate outstanding amount of (A) the Eurodollar Term
      Borrowings with Interest Periods ending on or prior to such Repayment Date
      and (B) the ABR Term Borrowings would not be at least equal to the
      principal amount of Term Borrowings to be paid on such Repayment Date; and

            (viii) upon notice to the Borrowers from the Administrative Agent
      given at the request of the Required Lenders, after the occurrence and
      during the

<PAGE>

                                                                              37

      continuance of an Event of Default, no outstanding Loan may be converted
      into, or continued as, a Eurodollar Loan.

      Each notice pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable, shall be
substantially in the form of Exhibit E or such other form as shall be acceptable
to the Administrative Agent and shall refer to this Agreement and specify (i)
the identity and amount of the Borrowing that the applicable Borrower requests
be converted or continued, (ii) whether such Borrowing is to be converted to or
continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing, (iii) if such notice
requests a conversion, the date of such conversion (which shall be a Business
Day) and (iv) if such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a
Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto. If no Interest
Period is specified in any such notice with respect to any conversion to or
continuation as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed
to have selected an Interest Period of one month's duration. The Administrative
Agent shall advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section and
of each Lender's portion of any converted or continued Borrowing. If any
Borrower shall not have given notice in accordance with this Section to continue
any Borrowing into a subsequent Interest Period (and shall not otherwise have
given notice in accordance with this Section to convert such Borrowing), such
Borrowing shall, at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto (unless
repaid pursuant to the terms hereof), automatically be continued into an ABR
Borrowing.

      SECTION 2.11. REPAYMENT OF TERM BORROWINGS. (a) The Borrowers shall pay to
the Administrative Agent, for the accounts of the applicable Lenders, the
aggregate principal amount of the Term Borrowings (other than Term Borrowings
comprised of Other Term Loans) in consecutive installments payable on the last
Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing, in
the case of Term Borrowings made on the Closing Date, on the last Business Day
in September 2004 and ending on the Term Loan Maturity Date (each such date
being called a "REPAYMENT DATE"). Each installment payable in respect of (i)
Term Loans made on the Closing Date shall be in an amount equal to 0.25% of the
initial aggregate principal amount of such Term Loans and (ii) Incremental Term
Loans of any Class (other than Other Term Loans) shall be in an amount equal to
0.25% of the initial aggregate principal amount of the Incremental Term Loans of
such Class (in each case as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Sections
2.12, 2.13(e) and 2.24(d)), with the balance of all Term Loans (other than Other
Term Loans) being due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date.

      (b) The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the accounts
of the applicable Lenders, on each Incremental Term Loan Repayment Date
applicable thereto, a principal amount of the Other Term Loans of each Class (as
adjusted from time to time pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.13(e) and 2.24(d)) equal
to the amount set forth for such date in the applicable Incremental Term Loan
Assumption Agreement. To the extent not previously paid, all Other Term Loans
shall be due and payable on the Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date therefor.

<PAGE>

                                                                              38

      (c) All repayments pursuant to this Section shall be subject to Section
2.16, but otherwise shall be without premium or penalty, and shall be
accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be repaid
to but excluding the date of payment.

      SECTION 2.12. OPTIONAL PREPAYMENTS. (a) The Borrowers shall have the right
at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part,
upon at least three Business Days' prior written or fax notice (or telephone
notice promptly confirmed by written or fax notice) in the case of Eurodollar
Loans, or written or fax notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by
written or fax notice) at least one Business Day prior to the date of prepayment
in the case of ABR Loans, to the Administrative Agent before 12:00 noon, New
York City time; provided, however, that each partial prepayment shall be in an
amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000.

      (b) Optional prepayments of Term Loans shall be allocated pro rata among
the then outstanding Term Loans of each Class and shall be applied, as to each
such Class, first, in direct order to the scheduled installments of principal
due in respect of the Term Loans of such Class under Section 2.11(a) or (b), as
applicable, on the two Repayment Dates for Term Loans of such Class next
following the date of such prepayment unless and until such installments have
been eliminated as a result of prepayments under this Section and Section 2.13,
and second, ratably to the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in
respect of the Term Loans of such Class under Section 2.11(a) or (b), as
applicable.

      (c) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the
principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid, shall be
irrevocable (provided that the occurrence of such prepayment may be conditioned
upon the completion of replacement financing), shall commit the applicable
Borrower to prepay such Borrowing by the amount stated therein on the date
stated therein and shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit F or such other
form as shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent. All prepayments under
this Section shall be subject to Section 2.16, but otherwise shall be without
premium or penalty, and shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on
the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment;
provided, however, that any prepayment of Term Loans under this Section made
prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date shall be accompanied by a
prepayment fee equal to 1.00% of the principal amount of the Term Loans prepaid.

      SECTION 2.13. MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS. (a) In the event of the termination
of all the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrowers shall, on the date of
such termination, repay or prepay all outstanding Revolving Credit Borrowings
and all outstanding Swingline Loans and replace or cause to be terminated (or
make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing
Bank with respect to) all outstanding Letters of Credit. If, after giving effect
to any partial reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Aggregate
Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment,
then the Borrowers shall, on the date of such reduction, repay or prepay
Revolving Credit Borrowings or Swingline Loans (or a

<PAGE>

                                                                              39

combination thereof), and, after the Revolving Credit Borrowings and Swingline
Loans shall have been repaid or prepaid in full, replace or cause to be
terminated (or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent
and the Issuing Bank with respect to) Letters of Credit, in an amount sufficient
to eliminate such excess.

      (b) Not later than the third Business Day following any receipt of Net
Cash Proceeds in respect of any Asset Sale, the Borrowers shall apply 100% of
such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with
paragraph (e) of this Section.

      (c) In the event and on each occasion that an Equity Issuance occurs, the
Borrowers shall, substantially simultaneously with (and in any event not later
than the third Business Day next following) the occurrence of such Equity
Issuance, apply 50% of the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom to prepay outstanding
Term Loans in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section; provided, however,
that no prepayment pursuant to this paragraph shall be required to be made with
respect to (i) the IPO, (ii) the underwritten primary public offering of the
Equity Interests of Parent pursuant to an effective registration statement filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, next following the IPO or (iii) any other Equity
Issuance if, after giving pro forma effect to such issuance and the application
of the proceeds thereof (disregarding any such application pursuant to this
paragraph), the Leverage Ratio on the date of such issuance shall be not more
than 3.25 to 1.00.

      (d) In the event that Parent or any Subsidiary shall receive Net Cash
Proceeds from the issuance or other disposition of Indebtedness for money
borrowed of Parent or any Subsidiary (other than any cash proceeds from the
issuance of Indebtedness for money borrowed permitted pursuant to Section 6.01),
the Borrowers shall, substantially simultaneously with (and in any event not
later than the third Business Day next following) the receipt of such Net Cash
Proceeds by such Loan Party or such subsidiary, apply an amount equal to 100% of
such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with
paragraph (e) of this Section.

      (e) Mandatory prepayments of Term Loans shall be allocated pro rata among
the then outstanding Term Loans of each Class and shall be applied, as to each
such Class, first, in direct order to the scheduled installments of principal
due in respect of the Term Loans of such Class under Section 2.11(a) or (b), as
applicable, on the two Repayment Dates for Term Loans of such Class next
following the date of such prepayment unless and until such installments have
been eliminated as a result of prepayments under this Section and Section 2.12,
and second, ratably to the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in
respect of the Term Loans of such Class under Section 2.11(a) or (b), as
applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender may elect, by notice to
the Administrative Agent in writing or by fax no later than 3:00 p.m., New York
City time, at least two Business Days prior to any prepayment of Term Loans
required to be made by the Borrowers for the account of such Lender pursuant to
this Section, to decline all (but not a portion) of such prepayment, in which
case the amounts so declined will be retained by the Borrowers.

      (f) The Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, at the time
of each prepayment required under this Section, (i) a certificate signed by a
Financial Officer of Parent setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation
of the amount of such prepayment and (ii) to the extent practicable, at least
three days prior written notice of such prepayment. Each notice of prepayment
shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Loan (or
portion thereof) to be prepaid and shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit
F or such other form as shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent. All
prepayments of Borrowings under this Section shall be subject to Section 2.16,
but otherwise shall be without premium or penalty, and shall be accompanied by
accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but
excluding the date of payment.

      SECTION 2.14. RESERVE REQUIREMENTS; CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES. (a)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law
shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar
requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit
extended by any Lender or the Issuing Bank (except any such reserve requirement
which is reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or shall impose on such Lender or
the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting
this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit
or participation therein, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to
increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of making or maintaining
any Eurodollar Loan or increase the cost to any Lender of issuing or maintaining
any Letter of Credit or purchasing or maintaining a participation therein or to
reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the
Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by an
amount deemed by such Lender or the Issuing Bank to be material, then the
Borrowers will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, upon
demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the
Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or
reduction suffered.

      (b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank shall have determined that any
Change in Law regarding capital adequacy has or would have the effect of
reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's capital or on
the capital of such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's holding company, if any, as a
consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made or participations in Letters of
Credit purchased by such Lender pursuant hereto or the Letters of Credit issued
by the Issuing Bank pursuant hereto to a level below that which such Lender or
the Issuing Bank or such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's holding company could
have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such
Lender's or the Issuing Bank's policies and the policies of such Lender's or the
Issuing Bank's holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount
deemed by such Lender or the Issuing Bank to be material, then from time to time
the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be,
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing
Bank or such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's holding company for any such
reduction suffered.

      (c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount
or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its
holding

<PAGE>

                                                                              41

company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section
shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank the amount shown
as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 10 days after its receipt
of the same.

      (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to
demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or
receivable or reduction in return on capital shall not constitute a waiver of
such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's right to demand such compensation; provided
that the Borrowers shall not be under any obligation to compensate any Lender or
the Issuing Bank under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section with respect to
increased costs or reductions with respect to any period prior to the date that
is 120 days prior to such request if such Lender or the Issuing Bank knew or
could reasonably have been expected to know of the circumstances giving rise to
such increased costs or reductions and of the fact that such circumstances would
result in a claim for increased compensation by reason of such increased costs
or reductions; provided further that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to
any increased costs or reductions arising out of the retroactive application of
any Change in Law within such 120-day period. The protection of this Section
shall be available to each Lender and the Issuing Bank regardless of any
possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law
that shall have occurred or been imposed.

      SECTION 2.15. CHANGE IN LEGALITY. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to
make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as
contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice
to the Borrowers and to the Administrative Agent:

            (i) such Lender may declare that Eurodollar Loans will not
      thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender
      hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods and ABR Loans
      will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into Eurodollar
      Loans), whereupon any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing (or to convert an
      ABR Borrowing to a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue a Eurodollar
      Borrowing for an additional Interest Period) shall, as to such Lender
      only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan (or a request to continue an ABR
      Loan as such for an additional Interest Period or to convert a Eurodollar
      Loan into an ABR Loan, as the case may be), unless such declaration shall
      be subsequently withdrawn; and

            (ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans
      made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar
      Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans as of the effective
      date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) of this Section.

In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under clause (i) or (ii)
above, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been
applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by such Lender
or the converted

<PAGE>

                                                                              42

Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans
made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such
Eurodollar Loans.

      (b) For purposes of this Section, a notice to the Borrowers by any Lender
shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on
the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in
all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the
Borrowers.

      SECTION 2.16. INDEMNITY. The Borrowers shall indemnify each Lender against
any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of
(a) any event, other than a default by such Lender in the performance of its
obligations hereunder, which results in (i) such Lender receiving or being
deemed to receive any amount on account of the principal of any Eurodollar Loan
prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect therefor, (ii) the conversion
of any Eurodollar Loan to an ABR Loan, or the conversion of the Interest Period
with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, in each case other than on the last day of
the Interest Period in effect therefor, or (iii) any Eurodollar Loan to be made
by such Lender (including any Eurodollar Loan to be made pursuant to a
conversion or continuation under Section 2.10) not being made after notice of
such Loan shall have been given by any Borrower hereunder (any of the events
referred to in this clause (a) being called a "BREAKAGE EVENT") or (b) any
default in the making of any payment or prepayment required to be made
hereunder. In the case of any Breakage Event, such loss shall include an amount
equal to the excess, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of
obtaining funds for the Eurodollar Loan that is the subject of such Breakage
Event for the period from the date of such Breakage Event to the last day of the
Interest Period in effect (or that would have been in effect) for such Loan over
(ii) the amount of interest likely to be realized by such Lender in redeploying
the funds released or not utilized by reason of such Breakage Event for such
period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts which
such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered
to the Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

      SECTION 2.17. PRO RATA TREATMENT. Except as provided in Section 2.13(e)
with respect to mandatory prepayments and in this Section with respect to
Swingline Loans, and as required under Section 2.15, each Borrowing, each
payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on
the Loans, each payment of the Commitment Fees, each reduction of the Term Loan
Commitments or the Revolving Credit Commitments and each conversion of any
Borrowing to or continuation of any Borrowing as a Borrowing of any Type shall
be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective
applicable Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been
terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their
outstanding Loans). For purposes of determining the available Revolving Credit
Commitments of the Lenders at any time, each outstanding Swingline Loan shall be
deemed to have utilized the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders
(including those Lenders which shall not have made Swingline Loans) pro rata in
accordance with such respective Revolving Credit Commitments. Each Lender agrees
that in computing such Lender's portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder,
the Administrative Agent

<PAGE>

                                                                              43

may, in its discretion, round each Lender's percentage of such Borrowing to the
next higher or lower whole dollar amount.

      SECTION 2.18. SHARING OF SETOFFS. Each Lender agrees that if it shall,
through the exercise of a right of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim against
any Borrower or any other Loan Party, or pursuant to a secured claim under
Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest
arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under
any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by
any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any
Loan or Loans or L/C Disbursement as a result of which the unpaid principal
portion of its Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements shall be
proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Loans and
participations in L/C Disbursements of any other Lender, it shall be deemed
simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall
promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the
Loans and L/C Exposure of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of the Loans and L/C Exposure and participations in Loans and
L/C Exposure held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the
aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans and L/C Exposure then outstanding
as the principal amount of its Loans and L/C Exposure prior to such exercise of
banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount
of all Loans and L/C Exposure outstanding prior to such exercise of banker's
lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that if any such
purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section and
the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or
purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and
the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest. The
Borrowers and Parent expressly consent to the foregoing arrangements and agree
that any Lender holding a participation in a Loan or L/C Disbursement deemed to
have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker's lien, setoff
or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by any Borrower or any
other Loan Party to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had
made a Loan directly to a Borrower in the amount of such participation.

      SECTION 2.19. PAYMENTS. (a) The Borrowers shall make each payment
(including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any L/C Disbursement or
any Fees or other amounts) hereunder and under any other Loan Document not later
than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due in immediately
available dollars, without setoff, defense or counterclaim. Each such payment
(other than (i) Issuing Bank Fees, which shall be paid directly to the Issuing
Bank, and (ii) principal of and interest on Swingline Loans, which shall be paid
directly to the Swingline Lender except as otherwise provided in Section
2.21(e)) shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at Eleven
Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10010.

      (b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, whenever any payment
(including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other
amounts) hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall become due, or
otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be
made on the next

<PAGE>

                                                                              44

succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be
included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable.

      SECTION 2.20. TAXES. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any
obligation of any Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other
Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if any Borrower or any other
Loan Party shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from
such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that
after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or
Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would
have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower or such Loan
Party shall make such deductions and (iii) such Borrower or such Loan Party
shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable law.

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

      (c) The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender
and the Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full
amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent,
such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any
payment by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower or any other Loan
Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this
Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom
or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered
to the Borrowers by a Lender or the Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent
on behalf of itself or a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

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

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

      SECTION 2.21. ASSIGNMENT OF COMMITMENTS UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES; DUTY
TO MITIGATE. (a) In the event (i) any Lender or the Issuing Bank delivers a
certificate requesting compensation pursuant to Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender or
the Issuing Bank delivers a notice described in Section 2.15, (iii) any Borrower
is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or the Issuing Bank or
any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant
to Section 2.20 or (iv) any Lender refuses to consent to any amendment, waiver
or other modification of any Loan Document requested by Parent or the Borrowers
that requires the consent of a greater percentage of the Lenders than the
Required Lenders and such amendment, waiver or other modification is consented
to by the Required Lenders, Parent may, at its sole expense and effort
(including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in
Section 9.04(b)), upon notice to such Lender or the Issuing Bank and the
Administrative Agent, require such Lender or the Issuing Bank to transfer and
assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions
contained in Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under
this Agreement (or, in the case of clause (iv) above, all of its interests,
rights and obligation with respect to the Class of Loans or Commitments that is
the subject of the related consent, amendment, waiver or other modification) to
an assignee that shall assume such assigned obligations (which assignee may be
another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (x) such
assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any
court or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, (y) Parent shall have
received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a
Revolving Credit Commitment is being assigned, of the Issuing Bank and the
Swingline Lender), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, and (z) the
Borrowers or such assignee shall have paid to the affected Lender or the Issuing
Bank in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of the principal
of and interest accrued to the date of such payment on the outstanding Loans or
L/C Disbursements of such Lender or the Issuing Bank, respectively, plus all
Fees and other amounts accrued for the account of such Lender or the Issuing
Bank hereunder (including any amounts under Sections 2.14 and 2.16); provided
further that, if prior to any such transfer and assignment the circumstances or
event that resulted in such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's claim for
compensation under Section 2.14 or notice under Section 2.15 or the amounts paid
pursuant to Section 2.20, as the case may be, cease to cause such Lender or the
Issuing Bank to suffer increased costs or reductions in amounts received or
receivable or reduction in return on capital, or cease to have the consequences
specified in Section 2.15, or cease to result in amounts being payable under
Section 2.20, as the case may be (including as a result of any action taken by
such Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section), or
if such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall waive its right to claim further
compensation under Section 2.14 in respect of such circumstances or event or
shall withdraw its notice under Section 2.15 or shall waive its right to further
payments under Section 2.20 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall
consent to the proposed amendment, waiver, consent or other modification, as the
case may be, then such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall not thereafter be
required to make any such transfer and assignment hereunder. Each Lender hereby
grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power
is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender as
assignor, any Assignment

<PAGE>

                                                                              46

and Acceptance necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender's interests
hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this paragraph.

      (b) If (i) any Lender or the Issuing Bank shall request compensation under
Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender or the Issuing Bank delivers a notice described in
Section 2.15 or (iii) any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to
any Lender or the Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority on account of any
Lender or the Issuing Bank, pursuant to Section 2.20, then such Lender or the
Issuing Bank shall use reasonable efforts (which shall not require such Lender
or the Issuing Bank to incur an unreimbursed loss or unreimbursed cost or
expense or otherwise take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or
legal or regulatory restrictions or suffer any disadvantage or burden deemed by
it to be significant) (x) to file any certificate or document reasonably
requested in writing by any applicable Borrower or (y) to assign its rights and
delegate and transfer its obligations hereunder to another of its offices,
branches or affiliates, if such filing or assignment would reduce its claims for
compensation under Section 2.14 or enable it to withdraw its notice pursuant to
Section 2.15 or would reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.20, as the
case may be, in the future. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable
costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or the Issuing Bank in connection with
any such filing or assignment, delegation and transfer.

      SECTION 2.22. SWINGLINE LOANS. (a) SWINGLINE COMMITMENT. Subject to the
terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein
set forth, the Swingline Lender agrees to make loans to the Borrowers at any
time and from time to time after the Closing Date and until the earlier of the
Revolving Credit Maturity Date and the termination of the Revolving Credit
Commitments, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will
not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans
exceeding $10,000,000 or (ii) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure, after
giving effect to any Swingline Loan, exceeding the Total Revolving Credit
Commitment. Each Swingline Loan shall be in a principal amount that is an
integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000. The Swingline
Commitment may be terminated or reduced from time to time as provided herein.
Within the foregoing limits, the Borrowers may borrow, pay or prepay and
reborrow Swingline Loans hereunder, subject to the terms, conditions and
limitations set forth herein.

      (b) SWINGLINE LOANS. The applicable Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent by fax, or by telephone (promptly confirmed by fax), not
later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swingline
Loan. Such notice shall be delivered on a Business Day, shall be irrevocable and
shall refer to this Agreement and shall specify the requested date (which shall
be a Business Day) and amount of such Swingline Loan and the wire transfer
instructions for the account of such Borrower to which the proceeds of the
Swingline Loan should be transferred. The Administrative Agent will promptly
advise the Swingline Lender of any notice received from a Borrower pursuant to
this paragraph. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan by wire
transfer to the account specified in such request.

<PAGE>

                                                                              47

      (c) PREPAYMENT. The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from
time to time to prepay any Swingline Loan, in whole or in part, upon giving
written or fax notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or fax
notice) to the Swingline Lender and to the Administrative Agent before 12:00
noon, New York City time, on the date of prepayment at the Swingline Lender's
address for notices specified on Schedule 2.01.

      (d) INTEREST. Each Swingline Loan shall be an ABR Loan and, subject to the
provisions of Section 2.07, shall bear interest as provided in Section 2.06(a).

      (e) PARTICIPATIONS. The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to
the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on any
Business Day require the Revolving Credit Lenders to acquire participations on
such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such
notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Revolving
Credit Lenders will participate. The Administrative Agent will, promptly upon
receipt of such notice, give notice to each Revolving Credit Lender, specifying
in such notice such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan or
Loans. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender hereby
absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above,
to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender,
such Revolving Credit Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan or
Loans. Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation
to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance
whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of
Default, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement,
withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall comply
with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately
available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02(c) with respect
to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.02(c) shall apply, mutatis mutandis,
to the payment obligations of the Lenders) and the Administrative Agent shall
promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the
Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers of any
participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph and
thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the
Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by
the Swingline Lender from any Borrower (or other party on behalf of any
Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender
of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted
to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative
Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that
shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline
Lender, as their interests may appear. The purchase of participations in a
Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve any Borrower (or
other party liable for obligations of any Borrower) of any default in the
payment thereof.

      SECTION 2.23. LETTERS OF CREDIT. (a) GENERAL. The Borrowers may request
the issuance of Letters of Credit, in form reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent

<PAGE>

                                                                              48

and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time while the L/C Commitment
remains in effect. This Section shall not be construed to impose an obligation
upon the Issuing Bank to issue any Letter of Credit that is inconsistent with
the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

      (b) NOTICE OF ISSUANCE, AMENDMENT, RENEWAL, EXTENSION; CERTAIN CONDITIONS.
In order to request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or to amend, renew or
extend an existing Letter of Credit), the applicable Borrower shall hand deliver
or fax to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance
of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice
requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of
Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, the date of issuance, amendment,
renewal or extension, the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire
(which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such
Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other
information as shall be necessary to prepare such Letter of Credit. A Letter of
Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if, and upon issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit each Borrower shall be
deemed to represent and warrant that, after giving effect to such issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension (i) the L/C Exposure shall not exceed
$10,000,000 and (ii) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed
the Total Revolving Credit Commitment.

      (c) EXPIRATION DATE. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at the close of
business on the earlier of the date one year after the date of the issuance of
such Letter of Credit and the date that is five Business Days prior to the
Revolving Credit Maturity Date, unless such Letter of Credit expires by its
terms on an earlier date; provided, however, that a Letter of Credit may, upon
the request of the applicable Borrower, include a provision whereby such Letter
of Credit shall be renewed automatically for additional consecutive periods of
12 months or less (but not beyond the date that is five Business Days prior to
the Revolving Credit Maturity Date) unless the Issuing Bank notifies the
beneficiary thereof at least 30 days prior to the then-applicable expiration
date that such Letter of Credit will not be renewed.

      (d) PARTICIPATIONS. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit and without any
further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank
hereby grants to each Revolving Credit Lender, and each such Lender hereby
acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal
to such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be
drawn under such Letter of Credit, effective upon the issuance of such Letter of
Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving
Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender's Pro
Rata Percentage of each L/C Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not
reimbursed by any Borrower (or, if applicable, another party pursuant to its
obligations under any other Loan Document) forthwith on the date due as provided
in Section 2.02(f). Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that
its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect
of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by
any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a
Default or an Event of Default, and that each such

<PAGE>

                                                                              49

payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction
whatsoever.

      (e) REIMBURSEMENT. If the Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in
respect of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall pay to the
Administrative Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement on the Business
Day on which such Borrower shall have received notice from the Issuing Bank that
payment of such draft will be made, or, if such Borrower shall have received
such notice later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Business Day, not
later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Business
Day.

      (f) OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE. Each Borrower's obligations to reimburse L/C
Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances whatsoever,
and irrespective of:

            (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit
      or any Loan Document, or any term or provision therein;

            (ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all
      or any of the provisions of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document;

            (iii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right
      that such Borrower, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated
      with, such Borrower, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any
      other person may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter
      of Credit, the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any
      other person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan
      Document or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction;

            (iv) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit
      proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect
      or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

            (v) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against
      presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the
      terms of such Letter of Credit; and

            (vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the
      Issuing Bank, any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any other person or
      any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any
      of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section,
      constitute a legal or equitable discharge of such Borrower's obligations
      hereunder.

      Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is expressly
understood and agreed that the absolute and unconditional obligation of each
Borrower hereunder to reimburse L/C Disbursements will not be excused by the
gross negligence or willful

<PAGE>

                                                                              50

misconduct of the Issuing Bank. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed
to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to a Borrower to the extent of any
direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which
are hereby waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law)
suffered by such Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank's gross negligence
or willful misconduct in determining whether drafts and other documents
presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. It is
understood that the Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face
to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of
any notice or information to the contrary and, in making any payment under any
Letter of Credit (i) the Issuing Bank's exclusive reliance on the documents
presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth
therein, including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such
Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder
equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented
pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if
such document on its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any other
statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit
proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate
or untrue in any respect whatsoever and (ii) any noncompliance in any immaterial
respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms
thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute gross negligence or
willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank.

      (g) DISBURSEMENT PROCEDURES. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following
its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for
payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall as promptly as possible
give telephonic notification, confirmed by fax, to the Administrative Agent and
the applicable Borrower of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank
has made or will make an L/C Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure
to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve such Borrower of its
obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Revolving Credit Lenders with
respect to any such L/C Disbursement.

      (h) INTERIM INTEREST. If the Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement
in respect of a Letter of Credit, then, unless the applicable Borrower shall
reimburse such L/C Disbursement in full on such date, the unpaid amount thereof
shall bear interest for the account of the Issuing Bank, for each day from and
including the date of such L/C Disbursement to but excluding the earlier of the
date of payment by such Borrower or the date on which interest shall commence to
accrue thereon as provided in Section 2.02(f), at the rate per annum that would
apply to such amount if such amount were an ABR Revolving Loan.

      (i) RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF THE ISSUING BANK. The Issuing Bank may
resign at any time by giving 30 days' prior written notice to the Administrative
Agent, the Lenders and the Borrowers, and may be removed at any time by Parent
by notice to the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Upon
the acceptance of any appointment as the Issuing Bank hereunder by a Lender that
shall agree to serve as successor Issuing Bank, such successor shall succeed to
and become vested with all the interests, rights and obligations of the retiring
Issuing Bank and the retiring Issuing Bank shall be discharged from its
obligations to issue additional Letters of Credit hereunder.

<PAGE>

                                                                              51

At the time such removal or resignation shall become effective, the Borrowers
shall pay all unpaid fees accrued pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 2.05(c).
The acceptance of any appointment as the Issuing Bank hereunder by a successor
Lender shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such successor, in a
form satisfactory to Parent and the Administrative Agent, and, from and after
the effective date of such agreement, (i) such successor Lender shall have all
the rights and obligations of the previous Issuing Bank under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan
Documents to the term "Issuing Bank" shall be deemed to refer to such successor
or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing
Banks, as the context shall require. After the resignation or removal of the
Issuing Bank hereunder, the retiring Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto
and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of
Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or removal, but shall not be
required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

      (j) CASH COLLATERALIZATION. If any Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, the Borrowers shall, on the Business Day they receive notice from
the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the
Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Credit Lenders holding participations in
outstanding Letters of Credit representing greater than 50% of the aggregate
undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit) thereof and of the amount
to be deposited, deposit in an account with the Collateral Agent, for the
benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the L/C
Exposure as of such date. Such deposit shall be held by the Collateral Agent as
collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations. The Collateral
Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right
of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the
investment of such deposits in Permitted Investments, which investments shall be
made at the option and sole discretion of the Collateral Agent, such deposits
shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall
accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall (i) automatically be
applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for L/C
Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed, (ii) be held for the
satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the L/C
Exposure at such time and (iii) if the maturity of the Loans has been
accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Credit Lenders holding
participations in outstanding Letters of Credit representing greater than 50% of
the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit), be applied
to satisfy the Obligations. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount
of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of
Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned
to the Borrowers within three Business Days after all Events of Default have
been cured or waived.

      SECTION 2.24. INCREASE IN TERM LOAN COMMITMENTS. (a) Any Borrower may, by
written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request
Incremental Term Loan Commitments in an amount not to exceed the Incremental
Term Loan Amount from one or more financial institutions, which may include any
existing Lender; provided that each Incremental Term Lender, if not already a
Lender hereunder, shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent
(which approval shall not be

<PAGE>

                                                                              52

unreasonably withheld). Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the
Incremental Term Loan Commitments being requested (which shall be in minimum
increments of $1,000,000 and a minimum amount of $5,000,000 or equal to the
remaining Incremental Term Loan Amount), (ii) the date on which Loans are to be
made pursuant to such Incremental Term Loan Commitments are requested (which
shall not be less than 10 Business Days or more than 60 days after the date of
such notice) and (iii) whether such Incremental Term Loan Commitments are to be
commitments to make loans with terms identical to the Initial Term Loans or
commitments to make term loans with terms different from the Initial Term Loans
("OTHER TERM LOANS").

      (b) The applicable Borrower and each Incremental Term Lender shall execute
and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Term Loan Assumption
Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall
reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Term Loan Commitment of such
Incremental Term Lender. Each Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement shall
specify the terms of the Incremental Term Loans to be made thereunder; provided,
however, that, without the prior written consent of Lenders holding a majority
in interest of the outstanding Loans and Commitments of each adversely affected
Class of Term Loans, (i) the final maturity date of any Other Term Loans shall
be no earlier than (x) the final maturity date of any other Class of Term Loans
and (y) if the initial yield (determined as provided below) on such Other Term
Loans exceeds the Applicable Percentage for Eurodollar Term Loans of any Class,
the date falling six months after the final maturity date of each such adversely
affected Class; (ii) the average life to maturity of any Other Term Loans shall
be no shorter than (x) the average life to maturity of any other Class of Term
Loans and (y) if the initial yield (determined as provided below) on such Other
Term Loans exceeds the Applicable Percentage at the time in effect for
Eurodollar Term Loans of any Class, six months longer than the average life to
maturity of each such adversely affected Class; and (iii) if the initial yield
on any Other Term Loans (as determined by the Administrative Agent to be equal
to the sum of (x) the Eurodollar spread on the Other Term Loans and (y) if the
Other Term Loans are initially made at a discount or the lenders making the same
receive a fee from Parent or any Subsidiary for doing so (the amount of such
discount or fee, expressed as a percentage of the Other Term Loans, being
referred to herein as "OID"), the amount of such OID divided by the lesser of
(A) the average life to maturity of such Other Term Loans and (B) four) exceeds
by more than 50 basis points (the amount of such excess above 50 basis points
being referred to herein as the "YIELD DIFFERENTIAL") the Applicable Percentages
from time to time in effect for such other Class of Term Loans, then the
Applicable Percentage for each adversely affected Class of Term Loans shall
automatically be increased by the Yield Differential, effective upon the making
of the Other Term Loans. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each
Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Term Loan Assumption
Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness
of any Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement, this Agreement shall be
deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the
existence and terms of the Incremental Term Loan Commitment evidenced thereby
and any increase to the Applicable Percentages required by the foregoing
provisions of this paragraph. If the Administrative Agent shall so elect, any
such deemed amendment shall be memorialized

<PAGE>

                                                                              53

in a writing satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and Parent and furnished
to the other parties hereto.

      (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Term Loan Commitment
shall become effective under this Section unless (i) on the date of such
effectiveness, the conditions set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) of Section
4.01 shall be satisfied and the Administrative Agent shall have received a
certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer
of Parent, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received (with sufficient
copies for each of the Incremental Term Lenders) legal opinions, board
resolutions and other closing certificates and documentation consistent with
those delivered on the Closing Date under Article IV and (iii) Parent and the
Borrowers would be in Pro Forma Compliance after giving effect to such
Incremental Term Loan Commitment and the Loans to be made thereunder and the
application of the proceeds therefrom as if made and applied on such date.

      (d) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent
may take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all
Incremental Term Loans (other than Other Term Loans), when originally made, are
included in each Borrowing of outstanding Loans on a pro rata basis. This may be
accomplished at the discretion of the Administrative Agent by requiring each
outstanding Eurodollar Borrowing to be converted into an ABR Borrowing on the
date of each Incremental Term Loan, or by allocating a portion of each
Incremental Term Loan to each outstanding Eurodollar Borrowing on a pro rata
basis, even though as a result thereof such Incremental Term Loan may
effectively have a shorter Interest Period than the Loans included in the
Borrowing of which they are a part (and notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement that would prohibit such an initial Interest Period). Any
conversion of Eurodollar Loans to ABR Loans made pursuant to the preceding
sentence shall be subject to Section 2.16. If any Incremental Term Loan is to be
allocated to an existing Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing then,
subject to Section 2.07, the interest rate applicable to such Incremental Term
Loan for the remainder of such Interest Period shall equal the Adjusted LIBO
Rate for a period approximately equal to the remainder of such Interest Period
(as determined by the Administrative Agent two Business Days before the date
such Incremental Term Loan is made) plus the Applicable Percentage.

                                   ARTICLE III

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (alone or with notice or

any such indenture, agreement or other instrument (other than any indenture,

                                                                              55

      SECTION 3.05. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. (a) Parent has heretofore furnished to
the Lenders (i) its consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2003 and
2002, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in members'
equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2003 and the five-month
period ended December 31, 2002, and the combined statements of income, changes
in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the seven-month period ended July 31,
2002 and the year ended December 31, 2001 of WMG and its subsidiaries, Well Care
HMO, Inc., HealthEase of Florida, Inc., CHM and Comprehensive Health Management
of Florida, L.C., in each case prepared in accordance with GAAP and audited by
and accompanied by the opinion of Deloitte & Touche, LLP, independent public
accountants, and (ii) consolidating balance sheets and related statements of
income, changes in members' or stockholders' equity, as applicable, and cash
flows of each consolidated Subsidiary for the three years ended December 31,
2003, prepared in accordance with GAAP (and, in the case of financial statements
for CHM, audited by and accompanied by the opinion of said independent public
accountants) and, with respect to each HMO Subsidiary, SAP. Such financial
statements present fairly the financial condition and results of operations and
cash flows of Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries and of such consolidated
Subsidiaries, as the case may be, as of such dates and for such periods. Such
balance sheets and the notes thereto disclose all material liabilities, direct
or contingent, of Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries and of such
consolidated Subsidiaries, as the case may be, as of the dates thereof.

      (b) Parent has heretofore delivered to the Lenders its unaudited pro forma
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2003, and the related statements
of income, changes in member's equity and cash flows prepared giving effect to
the Transactions as if they had occurred, with respect to such balance sheet, on
such date and, with respect to such other financial statements, on the first day
of the twelve-month period ending on such date. Such pro forma financial
statements have been prepared in good faith by Parent, based on the assumptions
used to prepare the pro forma financial information contained in the
Confidential Information Memorandum (which assumptions are believed by Parent
and the Borrowers on the date hereof and on the Closing Date to be reasonable),
are based on the best information available to Parent and the Borrowers as of
the date of delivery thereof, accurately reflect all adjustments required to be
made to give effect to the Transactions and present fairly on a pro forma basis
the estimated consolidated financial position of Parent and its consolidated
Subsidiaries as of such date and for such period, assuming that the Transactions
had actually occurred at such date or at the beginning of such period, as the
case may be.

      SECTION 3.06. NO MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE. No event, change or condition
has occurred that has had, or would be materially likely to have, a material
adverse effect on the business, assets, operations, financial condition or
prospects of Parent and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, since December 31,
2003.

      SECTION 3.07. TITLE TO PROPERTIES; POSSESSION UNDER LEASES. (a) Each of
Parent and the Subsidiaries has good and marketable title to, or valid leasehold
interests in, all its material properties and assets (including all Mortgaged
Property), except for minor defects in title that do not interfere with its
ability to conduct its business as

<PAGE>

                                                                              56

currently conducted or to utilize such properties and assets for their intended
purposes. All such material properties and assets are free and clear of Liens,
other than Liens expressly permitted by Section 6.02.

      (b) Each of Parent and the Subsidiaries has complied in all material
respects with all obligations under all material leases to which it is a party
and all such leases are in full force and effect. Each of Parent and the
Subsidiaries enjoys peaceful and undisturbed possession under all such material
leases.

      (c) None of Parent or any Borrower has received any notice of, nor has any
knowledge of, any pending or contemplated condemnation proceeding affecting the
Mortgaged Properties or any sale or disposition thereof in lieu of condemnation.

      (d) None of Parent or any Subsidiary is obligated under any right of first
refusal, option or other contractual right to sell, assign or otherwise dispose
of any Mortgaged Property or any interest therein.

      SECTION 3.08. SUBSIDIARIES. Schedule 3.08 sets forth as of the Closing
Date a list of all Subsidiaries and the percentage ownership interest of Parent
and each Subsidiary therein. The Subsidiary Guarantors and the HMO Subsidiaries
listed on Schedule 3.08 are designated as such. The shares of capital stock or
other ownership interests in the Subsidiaries set forth on Schedule 3.08 are
fully paid and non-assessable and are owned by Parent or a Borrower, directly or
indirectly, free and clear of all Liens (other than Liens created under the
Security Documents and, with respect to the Seller Note Pledged Stock, if any,
Liens under the Seller Note and any documents related thereto).

      SECTION 3.09. LITIGATION; COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. (a) Except as set forth on
Schedule 3.09, there are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity or
by or before any Governmental Authority now pending or, to the knowledge of
Parent or any Borrower, threatened against or affecting Parent or any Subsidiary
or any business, property or rights of any such person (i) that involve any Loan
Document or the Credit Transactions or (ii) that, if adversely determined, could
reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a
Material Adverse Effect.

      (b) Since the date of this Agreement, there has been no change in the
status of the matters disclosed on Schedule 3.09 that, individually or in the
aggregate, has resulted in, or materially increased the likelihood of, a
Material Adverse Effect.

      (c) None of Parent or any Subsidiary or any of their respective material
properties or assets is in violation of, nor will the continued operation of
their material properties and assets as currently conducted violate, any law,
rule or regulation (including any zoning, building, ordinance, code or approval
or any building permits) or any restrictions of record or agreements affecting
the Mortgaged Property, or is in default with respect to any judgment, writ,
injunction, decree or order of any Governmental Authority, where such violation
or default could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
Without limiting the foregoing, (i) none of Parent or any Subsidiary, nor, to

Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the
negotiation of any Loan Document or included therein or delivered pursuant
thereto contained, contains or will contain any material misstatement of fact or
omitted, omits or will omit to state any material fact necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were, are
or will be made, not misleading; provided that to the extent any such

Liability.

      (b) Since the date of this Agreement, there has been no change in the
status of the matters disclosed on Schedule 3.16 that, individually or in the

self-insurance on terms consistent with industry practice, the properties of
Parent and the Subsidiaries are insured in all material respects with
financially sound and reputable insurance companies not Affiliates of Parent, in
such amounts, and with such deductibles and covering such risks, as are
customarily carried by companies engaged in similar businesses and owning
similar properties in localities where Parent or the applicable Subsidiary
operates.

      SECTION 3.18. SECURITY DOCUMENTS. (a) The Guarantee and Collateral
Agreement, upon execution and delivery thereof by the parties thereto, will
create in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured
Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral (as
defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) and the proceeds thereof and
(i) when the Pledged Collateral (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral
Agreement) is delivered to the Collateral Agent, the Guarantee and Collateral
Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected first priority Lien on, and
security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such
Pledged Collateral, in each case prior and superior in right to any other
person, and (ii) when financing statements in appropriate form are filed in the
offices specified on Schedule 3.18(a), the Lien created under the Guarantee and
Collateral Agreement will constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security
interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such
Collateral (other than Intellectual Property, as defined in the Guarantee and
Collateral Agreement), in each case prior and superior in right to any other
person, other than with respect to Liens expressly permitted by Section 6.02.

      (b) Upon the recordation of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement with
the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright
Office, together with the financing statements in appropriate form filed in the
offices specified on Schedule 3.18(a), the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement

title and interest of the Loan Parties in the Intellectual Property (as defined
in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) in which a security interest may be
perfected by filing in the United States of America and its territories and
possessions, in each case prior and superior in right to any other person (it
being understood that subsequent recordings in the United States Patent and
Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office may be necessary to
perfect a Lien on registered trademarks and patents, trademark and patent
applications and registered copyrights acquired by the Loan Parties after the
date hereof).

      (c) The Mortgages, if any, are effective to create in favor of the
Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid
and enforceable Lien on all of the Loan Parties' right, title and interest in
and to the Mortgaged Property thereunder and the proceeds thereof, and when such
Mortgages are filed in the proper real estate filing offices, such Mortgages
shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right,
title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Mortgaged Property and the
proceeds thereof, in each case prior and superior in right to any other person,
other than

with respect to the rights of persons pursuant to Liens expressly permitted by
Section 6.02.

      SECTION 3.19. LOCATION OF REAL PROPERTY AND LEASED PREMISES. (a) Schedule
3.19(a) lists completely and correctly as of the Closing Date all real property
owned by Parent and the Subsidiaries and the addresses thereof. Parent and the
Subsidiaries own in fee all the real property set forth on Schedule 3.19(a).

      SECTION 3.20. LABOR MATTERS. As of the date hereof and the Closing Date,
there are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against Parent or any Subsidiary
pending or, to the knowledge of Parent or any Borrower, threatened. The hours
worked by and payments made to employees of Parent and the Subsidiaries have not
been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable
Federal, state, local or foreign law dealing with such matters, where such
violation could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
All payments due from Parent or any Subsidiary, or for which any claim may be
made against Parent or any Subsidiary, on account of wages and employee health
and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a
liability on the books of Parent or such Subsidiary, except where the failure to
do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
The consummation of the Transactions will not give rise to any right of
termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any
collective bargaining agreement to which Parent or any Subsidiary is bound.

      SECTION 3.21. SOLVENCY. Immediately after the consummation of the Credit
Transactions to occur on the Closing Date and immediately following the making
of each Loan and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of each
Loan, (a) the fair value of the assets of each Loan Party, at a fair valuation,
will exceed its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise;
(b) the present fair saleable value of the property of each Loan Party will be
greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of
its debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such
debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (c) each Loan Party
will be able to pay its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or
otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; and (d)
each Loan Party will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct
the business in which it is engaged as such business is now conducted and is
proposed to be conducted following the Closing Date.

Parent and

required under the HMO Regulations, including approvals required to ensure that
such HMO Subsidiary is eligible for all reimbursements available under the HMO
Regulations, and all of such certificates, licenses, permits, authorizations or
approvals are in full force and effect and have not been revoked or suspended or

the Medicare and Medicaid programs, and all such reports and filings are true
and complete in all material respects, and (b) all material reports, data and

Effect, (i) there are no claims, actions, proceedings or appeals pending (and
none of Parent or any Subsidiary has made any filing that would result in any
claims, actions, proceedings or appeals) before any Governmental Authority with
respect to any Medicare or Medicaid reports or claims filed by Parent or any

denials, recoupments or disallowances by any intermediary, carrier, other
insurer, commission, board or agency in connection with any cost reports or

            (c) the occurrence of any ERISA Event that, alone or together with

requirements of any Governmental Authority having regulatory jurisdiction over

therefrom, and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with its directors,
officers and independent public accountants, all at the expense of Parent and
the Borrowers and at such reasonable times during normal business hours and as
often as may be reasonably desired, upon reasonable advance notice to Parent
(which notice shall not be required at any time after the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default); provided, however, that so long as no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Parent and the Borrowers shall
be obligated to pay the expenses of only one such visit in any calendar year.

any materials subject to a confidentiality obligation binding upon such Loan
Party (provided that such Loan Party shall, at the request of the Administrative
Agent or any Lender, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain permission
for such disclosure and, in the event permission cannot be obtained, furnish

reasonably be furnished without violation of such confidentiality obligations)

other amounts due or outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement, (iii) to
pay related fees and expenses, (iv) to finance a portion of the Harmony
Acquisition Consideration and (v) for general corporate purposes; (b) the
proceeds of the Revolving Loans solely for general corporate purposes and, if
immediately prior to and after giving effect thereto no Default or Event of
Default shall have occurred, to make required principal and interest payments on
the Seller Note; (d) the proceeds of the Swingline Loans solely for general
corporate purposes; and (e) Letters of Credit solely to support payment
obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business by the Borrowers and
their subsidiaries.

      SECTION 5.09. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. (a) Comply with all applicable laws,
rules, regulations, orders, writs, injunctions and decrees of any Governmental
Authority (including Titles XVIII and XIX of the Social Security Act, Medicare
Regulations, Medicaid Regulations, HMO Regulations and Health Insurance

enacted, except where the failure to comply therewith, individually or in the
aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.

      (b) Obtain and maintain all material certifications, licenses, permits,
authorizations and approvals of all applicable Governmental Authorities as are
required for the conduct of its business as currently conducted and as proposed
to be conducted, including licenses and contracts with Medicare and Medicaid.

                                                                              71

      (c) Use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that billing policies,
arrangements, protocols and instructions comply in all material respects with
reimbursement requirements under Medicare, Medicaid and other Medical
Reimbursement Programs and are administered by properly trained personnel.

      (d) Maintain a compliance program for Parent and the Subsidiaries that (i)
satisfies the requirements therefor applicable to Medicare+Choice Organizations
and (ii) is reasonably designed to provide internal controls effective to
promote adherence to, and prevent and detect any material violation of, any
applicable laws, rules and regulations and, in any event, includes regular
internal audits and monitoring to ensure compliance therewith and with all
applicable laws, rules and regulations.

      SECTION 5.10. FURTHER ASSURANCES. Execute any and all further documents,
financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all further action
(including filing Uniform Commercial Code and other financing statements,
fixture filings, mortgages and deeds of trust and preparation of all
documentation relating to filings under the Assignment of Claims Act) that may
be required under applicable law, or that the Required Lenders, the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, to cause
the Guarantee and Collateral Requirement to be and remain satisfied and to
effectuate the other transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, all at the
expense of the Loan Parties. Without limiting the foregoing, Parent and each
Borrower will cause the Guarantee and Collateral Requirement to be satisfied
with respect to (a) each Subsidiary acquired or organized subsequent to the date
hereof (other than any such Subsidiary that is a Foreign Subsidiary, an
Immaterial Subsidiary or an HMO Subsidiary that has not Guaranteed any
Indebtedness of Parent or any other Subsidiary), (b) each Subsidiary that ceases
to be an Immaterial Subsidiary or an HMO Subsidiary and (c) each HMO Subsidiary
that has Guaranteed any Indebtedness of Parent or any Subsidiary (and which
Guarantee, at the time of determination, is in effect). In addition, from time
to time, Parent and each Borrower will, at their cost and expense, promptly
secure the Obligations by pledging or creating, or causing to be pledged or
created, perfected security interests with respect to such of its assets and
properties as the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall designate
(it being understood that it is the intent of the parties that the Obligations
shall be secured, except to the extent set forth in the definition of the term
"Guarantee and Collateral Requirement," by substantially all the assets of
Parent and the Subsidiaries, including real and other properties acquired
subsequent to the Closing Date). Parent and each Borrower agree to provide such
evidence as the Collateral Agent shall reasonably request as to the perfection
and priority status of each security interest and Lien created or intended to be
created under the Security Documents. In furtherance of the foregoing, Parent
and each Borrower agree to give prompt notice to the Administrative Agent of the
acquisition by it or any of its subsidiaries of any real property (or any
interest in real property) having a value in excess of $250,000.

      SECTION 5.11. DESIGNATION OF OBLIGATIONS; MATTERS RELATING TO THE SELLER
NOTE. (a) In the event that Parent or any Subsidiary shall at any time issue or
have outstanding any Indebtedness that by its terms is subordinated to any other
Indebtedness of Parent or such Subsidiary, take all actions as shall be
necessary to cause the

<PAGE>

                                                                              72

Obligations to constitute senior indebtedness (however denominated) in respect
of such subordinated Indebtedness and to enable the Lenders to have and exercise
any payment blockage or other remedies available or potentially available to
holders of senior indebtedness under the terms of such subordinated
Indebtedness. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Obligations are hereby
designated as "senior indebtedness" and, if relevant, as "designated senior
indebtedness" in respect of all such subordinated Indebtedness (including
designation by WHP of the Obligations as "Senior Indebtedness" under the Seller
Note) and are further given all such other designations as shall be required
under the terms of any such subordinated Indebtedness in order that the Lenders
may have and exercise any payment blockage or other remedies available or
potentially available to holders of senior Indebtedness under the terms of such
subordinated Indebtedness.

      (b) In the case of WHP, promptly after the date hereof provide to the
payee under the Seller Note written notice of the designation of the Obligations
as "Senior Indebtedness" under the Seller Note, which notice shall include the
address and fax number of the Administrative Agent set forth in Section 9.01
(and, in the event such address or fax number shall change as contemplated by
Section 9.01, promptly inform the payee under the Seller Note of any such
change); and promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof, provide to the
Administrative Agent notice of any change of the address, fax number or other
information set forth in the Seller Note with respect to the payee thereunder.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                               NEGATIVE COVENANTS

      the weighted average life thereof for the period ending before, the

      that is not a Loan Party shall be subordinated to the Obligations on terms
      no less favorable to the Lenders than the subordination terms set forth in
      Exhibit H-1 hereto;

            (d) Indebtedness of any Loan Party arising under any Hedging

      assets or property held or reasonably anticipated by such person, and not
      for purposes of speculation or taking a "market view", and (ii) does not
      contain any provision exonerating the non-defaulting party from its
      obligation to make payments on outstanding transactions to the defaulting
      party;

            (e) Indebtedness of Parent or any Subsidiary incurred to finance the
      acquisition, construction or improvement of any fixed or capital assets,
      and extensions, renewals and replacements of any such Indebtedness that do
      not increase the outstanding principal amount thereof; provided that (i)
      such Indebtedness is incurred prior to or within 90 days after such
      acquisition or the completion of such construction or improvement and (ii)
      the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness permitted by this clause

      Section); provided that (i) a Subsidiary shall not Guarantee any
      obligation unless such Subsidiary also has Guaranteed the Obligations and
      (ii) Guarantees by any Loan Party of Indebtedness of any Subsidiary (other
      than an HMO Subsidiary) that is not a Loan Party shall be subject to the

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT

      Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (for purposes of this Article, the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are referred to collectively as
the "AGENTS") its agent and authorizes the Agents to take such actions on its
behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms
of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents
are hereby expressly authorized to execute any and all documents (including
releases) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties
with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions
of this Agreement and the Security Documents.

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

      Neither Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly
set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, (a) neither Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied
duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b)
neither Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise
any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly
contemplated hereby that such Agent is instructed in writing to exercise by the
Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be
necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.08), and (c) except
as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, neither Agent shall have any duty
to disclose, nor shall it be liable for the failure to disclose, any information
relating to Parent or any Subsidiary that is communicated to or obtained by the
bank serving as Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent or any of its
Affiliates in any capacity. Neither Agent shall be liable for any action taken
or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders
(or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under
the circumstances as provided in Section 9.08) or in the absence of its own
gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither Agent shall be deemed to have
knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to
such Agent by Parent, a Borrower or a Lender, and neither Agent shall be
responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement,
warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii)
the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder
or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the
covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in

<PAGE>

                                                                              87

any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or
genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document,
or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in
any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to
be delivered to such Agent.

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

      Each Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and
powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. Each Agent and
any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights
and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory
provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to
the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to
their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit
facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent.

      Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided
below, either Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing
Bank and the Borrowers. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall
have the right, subject, if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, to the consent of the Borrowers (not to be unreasonably withheld),
to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the
Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after
the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may,
subject, if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to the
consent of the Borrowers (not to be unreasonably withheld), on behalf of the
Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank
with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the
acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor
shall 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 hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a
successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless
otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After an Agent's
resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.05 shall
continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and
their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to
be taken by any of them while acting as Agent.

      Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance
upon the Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and information
as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter
into this

<PAGE>

                                                                              88

Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and
information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its
own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement
or any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished
hereunder or thereunder.

such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender
under this Agreement and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the
extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released
from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender's rights
and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party
hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.16,
2.20 and 9.05, as well as to any Fees accrued for its account and not yet paid).

      (c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the

document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of Parent or any
Subsidiary or the performance or observance by Parent or any Subsidiary of any
of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other
instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee represents
and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and
Acceptance; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this
Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred
to in Section 3.05(a) or delivered pursuant to Section 5.04 and such other
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit
analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (v) such
assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent,
the Collateral Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on
such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time,
continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under
this Agreement; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative

Agent and the Collateral Agent, respectively, by the terms hereof, together with
such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees
that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by
the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

      (d) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the
Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices in The City of New York a copy
of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of,
and principal amount of the Loans

<PAGE>

                                                                              91

owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the
"REGISTER"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and Parent, the
Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Collateral Agent and
the Lenders may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register
pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this
Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be
available for inspection by Parent, the Borrowers, the Issuing Bank, the
Collateral Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time
upon reasonable prior notice.

      (e) Upon its receipt of, and consent to, a duly completed Assignment and
Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, an Administrative
Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall
already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to
in paragraph (b) of this Section, if applicable, and, if required, the written
consent of Parent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank to such assignment
and any applicable tax forms, the Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such
Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) record the information contained therein in
the Register. No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in
the Register as provided in this paragraph.

      (f) Each Lender may without the consent of Parent, any Borrower, the
Swingline Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent sell
participations to one or more banks or other entities in all or a portion of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender's
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall
remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of
such obligations, (iii) the participating banks or other entities shall be
entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in Sections
2.14, 2.16 and 2.20 to the same extent as if they were Lenders (but, with
respect to any particular participant, to no greater extent than the Lender that
sold the participation to such participant) and (iv) Parent, the Borrowers, the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders
shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with
such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall
retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrowers relating to
the Loans or L/C Disbursements and to approve any amendment, modification or
waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than amendments, modifications
or waivers decreasing any fees payable hereunder or the amount of principal of
or the rate at which interest is payable on the Loans, extending any scheduled
principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on the Loans,
increasing or extending the Commitments or releasing any Guarantor or all or any
substantial part of the Collateral).

      (g) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or
participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section,
disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any
information relating to Parent and the Borrowers furnished to such Lender by or
on behalf of Parent or the Borrowers; provided that, prior to any such
disclosure of information designated by Parent or any Borrower as confidential,
each such assignee or participant or proposed

<PAGE>

                                                                              92

assignee or participant shall execute an agreement whereby such assignee or
participant shall agree (subject to customary exceptions) to preserve the
confidentiality of such confidential information on terms no less restrictive
than those applicable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.16.

      (h) Any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights
under this Agreement to secure extensions of credit to such Lender or in support
of obligations owed by such Lender; provided that no such assignment shall
release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such
assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

      (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender
(a "GRANTING LENDER") may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an "SPC")
of such Granting Lender, identified as such in writing from time to time by the
Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and Parent, the option to provide to
any Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would
otherwise be obligated to make to any Borrower pursuant to this Agreement;
provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to
make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise
fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be
obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan
by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the
same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party
hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar
payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain
with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto
hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement)
that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full
of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it
will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against,
such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation
proceedings under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof.
In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section,
any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, Parent
and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor,
assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or
to any financial institutions (consented to by Parent and Administrative Agent)
providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to
support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential
basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency,
commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or
liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

      (j) Neither Parent nor any Borrower shall assign or delegate any of its
rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender, and any attempted
assignment without such consent shall be null and void.

      (k) In the event that S&P, Moody's and Thompson's BankWatch (or
InsuranceWatch Ratings Service, in the case of Lenders that are insurance
companies (or

<PAGE>

                                                                              93

Best's Insurance Reports, if such insurance company is not rated by Insurance
Watch Ratings Service)) shall, after the date that any Lender becomes a
Revolving Credit Lender, downgrade the long-term certificate deposit ratings of
such Lender, and the resulting ratings shall be below BBB-, Baa3 and C (or BB,
in the case of a Lender that is an insurance company (or B, in the case of an
insurance company not rated by InsuranceWatch Ratings Service)), then the
Issuing Bank shall have the right, but not the obligation, at its own expense,
upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, to replace (or to
request Parent and the Borrowers to use their reasonable efforts to replace)
such Lender with an assignee (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions
contained in paragraph (b) of this Section), and such Lender hereby agrees to
transfer and assign without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the
restrictions contained in paragraph (b) of this Section) all its interests,
rights and obligations in respect of its Revolving Credit Commitment to such
assignee; provided, however, that (i) no such assignment shall conflict with any
law, rule and regulation or order of any Governmental Authority and (ii) the
Issuing Bank or such assignee, as the case may be, shall pay to such Lender in
immediately available funds on the date of such assignment the principal of and
interest accrued to the date of payment on the Loans made by such Lender
hereunder and all other amounts accrued for such Lender's account or owed to it
hereunder.

      SECTION 9.05. EXPENSES; INDEMNITY. (a) The Borrowers and Parent agree,
jointly and severally, to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline
Lender and the Arrangers in connection with the syndication of the credit
facilities provided for herein and the preparation and administration of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with any amendments,
modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the
transactions hereby or thereby contemplated shall be consummated) or incurred by
the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Arranger in
connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with the Loans made
or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including the reasonable fees, charges
and disbursements of Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, counsel for the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Arrangers, and, in connection with any such
enforcement or protection, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any
other counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender.

      (b) The Borrowers and Parent agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify
the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Lender, the Issuing Bank,
each Arranger and each Related Party of any of the foregoing persons (each such
person being called an "INDEMNITEE") against, and to hold each Indemnitee
harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related
expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred
by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with,
or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the
performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or
the consummation of the Credit Transactions and the other transactions
contemplated thereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or issuance of
Letters of Credit, (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding
relating to any of the foregoing, whether or

<PAGE>

                                                                              94

not any Indemnitee is a party thereto, or (iv) any actual or alleged presence or
Release of Hazardous Materials on any property currently or formerly owned or
operated by Parent or any Subsidiary, or any Environmental Liability related in
any way to Parent or any Subsidiary; provided that such indemnity shall not, as
to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

      (c) To the extent that Parent and the Borrowers fail to pay any amount
required to be paid by them to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent,
the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this
Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be,
such Lender's pro rata share (determined, in the manner provided below, as of
the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is
sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or
indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may
be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such. For
purposes hereof, a Lender's "pro rata share" shall be determined based upon its
share of the sum of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure, outstanding Term
Loans and unused Commitments at the time.

      (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, neither Parent nor any
Borrower shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee,
on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive
damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection
with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument
contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use
of the proceeds thereof.

      (e) The provisions of this Section shall remain operative and in full
force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of
the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the expiration of any Letter of
Credit, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf
of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or the Issuing
Bank. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable on written demand
therefor.

      SECTION 9.06. RIGHT OF SETOFF. If an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to
time, except to the extent prohibited by law, to set off and apply any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time
held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the
credit or the account of any Borrower or Parent against any of and all the
obligations of any Borrower or Parent now or hereafter existing under this
Agreement and other Loan Documents held by such Lender, irrespective of whether
or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other
Loan Document and although such obligations may be

<PAGE>

                                                                              95

unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other
rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may
have.

      SECTION 9.07. APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS
(OTHER THAN LETTERS OF CREDIT AND AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH LETTER OF CREDIT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OR RULES DESIGNATED IN SUCH LETTER OF
CREDIT, OR IF NO SUCH LAWS OR RULES ARE DESIGNATED, THE UNIFORM CUSTOMS AND
PRACTICE FOR DOCUMENTARY CREDITS MOST RECENTLY PUBLISHED AND IN EFFECT, ON THE
DATE SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT WAS ISSUED, BY THE INTERNATIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
(THE "UNIFORM CUSTOMS") AND, AS TO MATTERS NOT GOVERNED BY THE UNIFORM CUSTOMS,
THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

      SECTION 9.08. WAIVERS; AMENDMENT. (a) No failure or delay of the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank in
exercising any power or right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce
such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not
exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of
any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any
departure by any Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event
be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this
Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any
Borrower or Parent in any case shall entitle any Borrower or Parent to any other
or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

      (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended
or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered
into by the Borrowers, Parent and the Required Lenders; provided, however, that
no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the
maturity of or any scheduled principal payment date or date for the payment of
any interest on any Loan or any date for reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement,
or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of
interest on any Loan or L/C Disbursement, without the prior written consent of
each Lender affected thereby, (ii) increase or extend the Commitment or decrease
or extend the date for payment of any Fees of any Lender without the prior
written consent of such Lender, (iii) amend or modify the pro rata requirements
of Section 2.17, the provisions of Section 9.04(j) or the provisions of this
Section or release any Guarantor (except as expressly provided in Section 9.17)
or all or any substantial part of the Collateral, without the prior written
consent of each Lender, (iv) change the provisions of any Loan Document in a
manner that by its terms

<PAGE>

                                                                              96

adversely affects the rights in respect of payments due to Lenders holding Loans
of one Class differently from the rights of Lenders holding Loans of any other
Class without the prior written consent of Lenders holding a majority in
interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of each adversely
affected Class, (v) modify the protections afforded to an SPC pursuant to the
provisions of Section 9.04(i) without the written consent of such SPC or (vi)
reduce the percentage contained in the definition of the term "Required Lenders"
without the prior written consent of each Lender (it being understood that with
the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to
this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on
substantially the same basis as the Term Loan Commitments and Revolving Credit
Commitments on the date hereof); provided further that no such agreement shall
amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder
or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline
Lender, respectively. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the terms of any
amendment to this Agreement provide that any Class of Loans will be repaid in
full and the Commitments of such Class (if any) terminated as a condition to the
effectiveness of such amendment, then so long as the Loans and Commitments (if
any) of such Class are in fact repaid and terminated upon the effectiveness of
such amendment, such Loans and Commitments shall not be included in the
determination of the Required Lenders with respect to such amendment.

      SECTION 9.09. INTEREST RATE LIMITATION. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan or
participation in any L/C Disbursement, together with all fees, charges and other
amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan or participation in such L/C
Disbursement under applicable law (collectively the "CHARGES"), shall exceed the
maximum lawful rate (the "MAXIMUM RATE") which may be contracted for, charged,
taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan or participation in
accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such
Loan or participation hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect
thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the
interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan or
participation but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section
shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in
respect of other Loans or participations or periods shall be increased (but not
above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with
interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment,
shall have been received by such Lender.

      SECTION 9.10. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents,
the Fee Letter and the Rollover Agreement constitute the entire contract between
the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any other previous agreement
among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in the
other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any
person (other than the parties hereto and thereto, their respective successors
and assigns permitted hereunder (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank
that issues any Letter of Credit) and, to the extent expressly contemplated
hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the

<PAGE>

                                                                              97

Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any rights, remedies,
obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents.

      SECTION 9.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO
THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL
BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF,
UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.
EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY
OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD
NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B)
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER
INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER
THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

      SECTION 9.12. SEVERABILITY. In the event any one or more of the provisions
contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall
not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the
invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in
and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction).
The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of
which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provisions.

      SECTION 9.13. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts
(and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall
constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a
single contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 9.03.
Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile
transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart
of this Agreement.

      SECTION 9.14. HEADINGS. Article and Section headings and the Table of
Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this
Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into
consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

      SECTION 9.15. JURISDICTION; CONSENT TO SERVICE OF PROCESS. (a) Each of
Parent and the Borrowers hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for
itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State
court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City,
and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising
out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for
recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect

<PAGE>

                                                                              98

of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York
State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the
parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding
shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the
judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall
affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the
Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding
relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against any Borrower,
Parent or their respective properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

      (b) Each of Parent and the Borrowers hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do
so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of
any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court. Each of the
parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or
proceeding in any such court.

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

      SECTION 9.16. CONFIDENTIALITY. Each of the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information
may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates' officers, directors, employees
and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being
understood that the persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of
the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such
Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory
authority or quasi-regulatory authority (such as the National Association of
Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or
regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) in connection with
the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or any
suit, action or proceeding relating to the enforcement of its rights hereunder
or thereunder, (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially
the same as those of this Section, to (i) any actual or prospective assignee of
or participant in any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its
advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to Parent or any
Subsidiary or any of their respective obligations, (f) with the consent of
Parent or (g) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other
than as a result of a breach of this Section. For the purposes of this Section,
"INFORMATION" shall mean all information received from any Borrower or Parent
and related to any Borrower or Parent or their business, other than any such
information that was available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to its
disclosure by any Borrower or Parent; provided that, in the case of Information
received from any Borrower or Parent after the date hereof, such information is
clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Information also
includes all protected

<PAGE>

                                                                              99

health information ("PHI"), as such term is defined in 45 C.F.R. 164.501,
including information that concerns an individual's past, present or future
physical or mental health or condition, the provision of care to the individual,
or the past, present or future payment for such care, and that directly or
indirectly identifies an individual or that could reasonably be used to identify
an individual. Any person required to maintain the confidentiality of
Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied
with its obligation to do so if such person has exercised the same degree of
care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such person would
accord its own confidential information. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, each Lender will (i) treat all PHI as confidential, (ii) not
disseminate, disclose or otherwise use PHI in a manner inconsistent with the
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act Privacy Regulations codified
at 45 C.F.R. 160 et seq. (the "HIPAA PRIVACY STANDARDS"), (iii) to the extent
required by the HIPAA Privacy Standards, make PHI available to Parent and/or an
individual for review and amendment according to HIPAA Privacy Standards, comply
with applicable auditing and reporting requirements regarding the improper use
or disclosure of PHI, and require agents or subcontractors who receive PHI to
comply with the HIPAA Privacy Standards, and (iv) in accordance with the HIPAA
Privacy Standards and as mutually agreed by each Lender and Parent, retain,
destroy or return to Parent records that contain PHI.

      SECTION 9.17. RELEASE OF SUBSIDIARY LOAN PARTIES AND COLLATERAL. (a)
Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein or in any other Loan Document, if
Parent shall request the release under any Security Document of any Subsidiary
(other than a Borrower) or any Collateral to be sold or otherwise disposed of
(including through the sale or disposition of any Subsidiary (other than a
Borrower) owning any such Subsidiary or Collateral) to a Person other than
Parent or a Subsidiary in a transaction permitted under the terms of this
Agreement and shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a certificate to the effect
that such sale or other disposition and the application of the proceeds thereof
will comply with the terms of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent, if satisfied
that the applicable certificate is correct, shall, without the consent of any
Lender, execute and deliver all such instruments, releases, financing statements
or other agreements, and take all such further actions, as shall be necessary to
effectuate the release of such Subsidiary or such Collateral substantially
simultaneously with or at any time after the completion of such sale or other
disposition. Any such release shall be without recourse to, or representation or
warranty by, the Collateral Agent and shall not require the consent of any
Lender.

      (b) Without limiting the provisions of Section 9.05, Parent and the
Borrowers shall reimburse the Collateral Agent for all costs and expenses,
including attorneys' fees and disbursements, incurred by it in connection with
