Senior Secured Credit Facilities

Commitment Letter

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     You have advised J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. (“JPMorgan”), Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner &
Smith Incorporated (“Merrill Lynch” and, together with JPMorgan, the “Lead Arrangers”), JPMorgan
Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”) and Merrill Lynch Capital Corporation (“MLCC” and, together with JPMCB,
the “Lead Lenders”) that you (“Alltel”) have formed a new wholly-owned subsidiary, ALLTEL Holding
Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Spinco”), to which you intend to contribute (the “Contribution”)
all of the assets, liabilities and operations of Alltel’s wireline segment and the majority of
Alltel’s communication support services segment (collectively, the “Business”) in exchange for all
of the outstanding capital stock of Spinco and up to $1.5 billion of senior notes of Spinco (the
“Distributed Notes”) . You will then distribute all of the capital stock of Spinco to your
shareholders (the “Spinoff”), and immediately thereafter Spinco will merge (the “Merger”) with and
into Valor Communications Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Partner” and, following such
merger, “Wireline” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Wireline Companies”). Immediately
prior to the Spinoff and Merger, Spinco intends to enter into new senior secured credit facilities
in an aggregate amount of up to $4.2 billion (the “Facilities”), comprised of term loan facilities
in an aggregate amount of up to $3.7 billion (the “Term Facilities”) and a revolving credit
facility of $500 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The proceeds of the Term Facilities
will be used to finance a $2.4 billion dividend payment to Alltel (the “Dividend”) and, to the
extent not refinanced with proceeds from the issuance of Refinancing Notes referred to below, to
refinance approximately $81 million of Alltel’s outstanding bonds (including the payment of related
premiums and tender costs), up to $400 million of Merger Partner’s outstanding bonds and Merger
Partner’s existing bank

 

 

facility identified on Schedule 2 hereto (collectively, the “Refinancing”). You may also
elect that a portion of the Refinancing be financed with the proceeds from a Rule 144A or public
offering of up to $800 million of senior notes by Merger Partner or Wireline or one of their
respective subsidiaries (the “Refinancing Notes” and, together with the Distributed Notes, the
“Notes”), in which case the Term Facilities will be reduced dollar-for-dollar. Each of the Lead
Arrangers (and/or one or more of their affiliates) expects (but is not obligated) to enter into an
exchange agreement with Alltel, pursuant to which the Lead Arrangers (and/or such affiliates) will
exchange (the “Exchange”) certain debt of Alltel held by them for the Distributed Notes, in which
case the Lead Arrangers (and/or such affiliates) will subsequently offer and sell all or a portion
of the Distributed Notes in a public or private offering.

     The Contribution, the entering into and funding of the Facilities, the issuance and sale of
any Refinancing Notes, the payment of the Dividend, the Spinoff, the Merger, the Refinancing, the
Exchange (if any), the resale of the Distributed Notes and all related transactions are hereinafter
collectively referred to as the “Transaction”. The sources and uses for the financing for the
Transaction are as set forth in Schedule 1 hereto. Immediately after the Transaction, the Wireline
Companies will not have any indebtedness, except as set forth in Schedule 2 hereto. All
capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings as specified
therefor in the Term Sheet (as defined below).

     This commitment letter (together with all exhibits and schedules hereto, the “Commitment
Letter”) will confirm the understanding and agreement among Alltel, the Lead Arrangers and the Lead
Lenders in connection with the Facilities. If you accept this Commitment Letter as provided below,
the date of the initial funding under the Facilities will be referred to herein as the “Closing
Date”.

     In connection with the foregoing, you have requested that (a) JPMorgan and Merrill Lynch agree
to structure, arrange and syndicate the Facilities, and (b) each of JPMCB and MLCC severally commit
to provide 50% of the Facilities.

     JPMorgan and Merrill Lynch are pleased to advise you that they are willing to act as the
exclusive lead arrangers and bookrunners for the Facilities. Furthermore, each of JPMCB and MLCC
is pleased to advise you of its several commitment to provide up to 50% of the Facilities upon the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth or referred to in this Commitment Letter and in the
Summaries of Terms and Conditions attached hereto as Exhibits A and B (together, the “Term Sheet”).

     It is agreed that JPMorgan and Merrill Lynch will act as the sole and exclusive Lead Arrangers
and Joint Bookrunners for the Facilities, and each will, in such capacity, perform the duties and
exercise the authority customarily performed and exercised by it in such roles, including selecting
counsel for the Lenders and negotiating the definitive documentation with respect to the Facilities
(the “Credit Documentation”). Prior to the Closing Date, the parties will agree on a financial
institution to act as the sole and exclusive administrative and collateral agent for the Facilities
(in such capacity, the

2

 

“Administrative Agent”). You agree that no other agents, co-agents or arrangers will be
appointed, no other titles will be awarded and no compensation (other than that expressly
contemplated by the Term Sheet and the Fee Letter referred to below) will be paid in connection
with the Facilities unless you and we shall so agree (including in each case as to the role, if
any, of any such person with respect to the Facilities).

     We intend to syndicate the Facilities (including, in our discretion, all or part of the Lead
Lenders’ commitments hereunder) to a group of financial institutions and other entities
(collectively, together with the Lead Lenders, the “Lenders”) identified by us in consultation with
you. The Lead Arrangers intend to commence syndication efforts promptly upon the execution of this
Commitment Letter, and you agree to (and to use your commercially reasonable efforts to cause
Merger Partner to) actively assist the Lead Arrangers in completing a timely syndication reasonably
satisfactory to them. Such assistance shall include (a) using your commercially reasonable efforts
to ensure that the syndication efforts benefit materially from your existing lending relationships
and those of Merger Partner and its affiliates, (b) causing Spinco (and using commercially
reasonable efforts to arrange for Merger Partner) to provide direct contact between senior
management and advisors of Spinco and Merger Partner and the proposed Lenders, (c) assisting (and
causing your management and advisors to assist and using your commercially reasonable efforts to
cause Merger Partner and its management and advisors assist) in the preparation of a Confidential
Information Memorandum and other marketing materials (the contents of which (x) prior to the
Merger, you, Merger Partner and Spinco, and (y) following the Merger, the Wireline Companies, shall
be solely responsible for) to be used in connection with the syndication, (d) the hosting, with the
Lead Arrangers, of one or more meetings of prospective Lenders and (e) obtaining, at your expense,
a monitored public rating of each of the Facilities and the Distributed Notes and the Refinancing
Notes from each of Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services at least
15 business days prior to the Closing Date and actively participating in the process of securing
such ratings.

     As Lead Arrangers, JPMorgan and Merrill Lynch will manage all aspects of the syndication in
consultation with you, including decisions as to the selection of institutions to be approached and
when they will be approached, when their commitments will be accepted, which institutions will
participate, the allocations of the commitments among the Lenders (which are not likely to be pro
rata across the Facilities among Lenders) and the amount and distribution of fees among the
Lenders. In acting as the Lead Arrangers, JPMorgan and Merrill Lynch will have no responsibility
other than to arrange the syndication of the Facilities (including to comply with the provisions
contained herein with respect thereto). To assist the Lead Arrangers in their syndication efforts,
you agree to (and to use your commercially reasonable efforts to cause Merger Partner to) promptly
prepare and provide to the Lead Arrangers and the Lead Lenders all information with respect to
Spinco, Merger Partner and their respective subsidiaries and the Transaction and any other
transactions contemplated hereby, including all financial information and projections (the
“Projections”), as we may reasonably request in connection with the arrangement and syndication of
the Facilities. You hereby represent and covenant that (a) all information other than the
Projections (the “Information”) that has been or will be

3

 

made available to any Lead Arranger or any Lead Lender by you or any of your representatives
is or will be, when furnished, complete and correct in all material respects and does not or will
not, when furnished, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light
of the circumstances under which such statements are made and (b) the Projections that have been or
will be made available to any Lead Arranger or any Lead Lender by you or any of your
representatives have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions you believe to
be reasonable. If, at any time from the date hereof until the Closing Date (and, if requested by
us, for such reasonable period thereafter as may be necessary to complete the syndication of the
Facilities), any of the representations and warranties in the preceding sentence would be incorrect
if the Information or Projections were being furnished (and such representation and warranty was
being made) at such time, then you will promptly supplement the Information and the Projections as
reasonably necessary so that such representations and warranties will be correct under those
circumstances. You understand that in arranging and syndicating the Facilities we may use and rely
on the Information and Projections without (and we shall have no responsibility for) independent
verification thereof. Each of the Lead Arrangers and the Lead Lenders may (i) assign its rights
and obligations under this Commitment Letter (including, in the case of a Lead Lender, its
commitment hereunder) to any of its affiliates without the prior written consent of the other
parties hereto and/or (ii) perform any services hereunder through any of its affiliates (in which
case each such affiliate will be entitled to the benefits of this Commitment Letter with respect to
the services performed by it).

     You hereby acknowledge that (a) the Lead Arrangers will make available Information and
Projections to the proposed syndicate of Lenders through posting on IntraLinks or another similar
electronic system and (b) certain of the proposed Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e.,
Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to Alltel, Spinco,
Merger Partner or any of their affiliates) (each, a “Public Lender”). You hereby agree that: (i)
you will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Information and
Projections that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and include a reasonably detailed term
sheet in such Information and that all of the foregoing that is to be made available to Public
Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC”; (ii) by marking materials “PUBLIC,” you
shall be deemed to have authorized the Lead Arrangers and the proposed Lenders to treat such
materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to Alltel, Spinco,
Merger Partner or any of their affiliates for purposes of United States federal and state
securities laws (it being understood that certain of such materials may be subject to the
confidentiality requirements of the Credit Documentation (as defined below)); (c) all materials
marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available by electronic means designated “Public
Investor;” and (d) the Lead Arrangers shall be entitled to treat any materials that are not marked
“PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting by electronic means not designated for “Public
Lenders”.

     As consideration for the Lead Lenders’ commitments hereunder and the Lead Arrangers’
agreements to perform the services described herein, you agree to pay to

4

 

JPMorgan, Merrill Lynch, JPMCB and MLCC the nonrefundable fees set forth in Annex I to the
Term Sheet and in the Fee Letter dated the date hereof and delivered herewith (the “Fee Letter”).

     The Lead Lenders’ commitments hereunder and the Lead Arrangers’ agreements to perform the
services described herein are subject to:

     (a) there not having been, since September 30, 2005, any state of facts, change,
development, event, effect, condition or occurrence that, individually or in the aggregate,
(i) is materially adverse to the business, assets, properties, liabilities or condition
(financial or otherwise) of (x) Spinco and its subsidiaries or (y) Merger Partner and its
subsidiaries, in each case taken as a whole, or directly or indirectly prevents or
materially impairs or delays the ability of Spinco or Merger Partner to perform its
obligations under the Merger Agreement; excluding any facts, events, changes, effects or
developments (A) generally affecting the rural, regional or nationwide wireline voice and
data industry in the United States or in other countries in which such person or its
subsidiaries conduct business, including regulatory and political developments and changes
in law or generally accepted accounting principles, (B) generally affecting the economy or
financial markets in the United States or in other countries in which such person or its
subsidiaries conduct business, or (C) resulting from the announcement of the Merger or the
taking of any action required by the Merger Agreement or related agreements in connection
with the Merger (including any decrease in customer demand, any reduction in revenues, any
disruption in supplier, partner or similar relationships, or any loss of employees) or (ii)
materially and adversely affects (x) the ability of Spinco or Merger Partner to perform its
obligations under the Credit Documentation or (y) the rights and remedies of the Lenders
under the Credit Documentation;

     (b) our not becoming aware after the date hereof of any information or other matter
affecting Spinco, Merger Partner, any of their respective subsidiaries, the Transaction or
any other transaction contemplated hereby which is inconsistent in a material and adverse
manner with any such information or other matter disclosed to us prior to the date hereof;

     (c) after the date hereof and until the successful syndication of the Facilities (as
defined in the Fee Letter), none of Alltel, Spinco, Merger Partner or any of their
respective subsidiaries shall have syndicated or issued or announced or authorized the
announcement of, any debt facility or debt security of any of them (including renewals
thereof) other than (x) any such facility or security by Alltel and its subsidiaries (other
than Spinco and its subsidiaries) that would not reasonably be expected to impair the
syndication of the Facilities in any material respect, and (y) the Facilities, the
Distributed Notes or the Refinancing Notes;

     (d) the Lead Arrangers having been afforded a period of 15 consecutive business days
(or more if mutually agreed) following the launch of

5

 

the general syndication of the Facilities and immediately prior to the date of
execution of the Credit Documentation to syndicate the Facilities;

     (e) the negotiation, execution and delivery on or before December 8, 2006 of Credit
Documentation satisfactory to us and our counsel; and

     (f) the other conditions set forth or referred to in the Term Sheet.

The terms and conditions of any Lead Lender’s commitment hereunder and of the Facilities are not
limited to those set forth herein and in the Term Sheet. Those matters that are not covered by the
provisions hereof and of the Term Sheet are subject to the approval and agreement of the Lead
Lenders, the Lead Arrangers and you.

     You agree (a) to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Lead Arrangers, the Administrative
Agent, the Lead Lenders, the other Lenders that have provided commitments to provide any portion of
the Facilities and their respective affiliates, and the respective officers, directors, employees,
advisors and agents of such persons, (each, an “indemnified person”) from and against any and all
losses, claims, damages and liabilities to which any such indemnified person may become subject
arising out of or in connection with this Commitment Letter (including the performance of services
hereunder), the Term Sheet, the Fee Letter, the Facilities (including the loans thereunder and the
use of the proceeds thereof), the Refinancing Notes or any other aspect of the Transaction or any
related transaction or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the
foregoing, regardless of whether any indemnified person is a party thereto or whether any of the
Transactions are consummated or this Commitment Letter is terminated, and to reimburse each
indemnified person upon demand for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection
with investigating, preparing for or defending any of the foregoing, provided that the foregoing
indemnity will not, as to any indemnified person, apply to (i) any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or related expenses to the extent they are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of
a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of
such indemnified person or (ii) any losses incurred in connection with the Exchange, and (b) to
reimburse each of the Lead Arrangers, the Lead Lenders and their respective affiliates on demand
for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable due diligence expenses, reasonable
syndication expenses, reasonable consultant’s fees and expenses (if applicable), reasonable
appraisal and valuation fees and expenses, reasonable travel expenses, reasonable audit fees,
search fees, filing and recording fees, and reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel
(including any local or regulatory counsel) and any sales, use or similar taxes (and any additions
to such taxes) related to any of the foregoing) incurred in connection with the Facilities and any
related documentation (including this Commitment Letter, the Term Sheet, the Fee Letter and the
Credit Documentation) or the administration, amendment, modification, waiver or enforcement
thereof, whether or not such fees and expenses are incurred before or after the date hereof or any
Credit Documentation is entered into or the Transaction is consummated or any extensions of credit
are made under the Facilities or this Commitment Letter is terminated or expires. No indemnified
person shall be liable (and

6

 

you agree not to assert any claim against any indemnified person) for any damages arising from
the use by others of Information, Projections or other materials obtained through electronic,
telecommunications or other information transmission systems, except to the extent they are found
by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen from the
willful misconduct or gross negligence of such indemnified person, or for any special, indirect,
consequential, punitive or exemplary damages on any theory of liability in connection with this
Commitment Letter (including the performance of services hereunder), the Fee Letter, the Term
Sheet, the Facilities or its activities related to any of the foregoing.

     You agree that, without our prior written consent, neither you nor any of your affiliates or
subsidiaries will settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or
threatened claim, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnification has been or could be
sought under the indemnification provisions hereof (whether or not any other indemnified person is
an actual or potential party to such claim, action or proceeding), unless such settlement,
compromise or consent (a) includes an unconditional written release in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified persons of each indemnified person from all liability
arising out of such claim, action or proceeding and (b) does not include any statement as to or an
admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified person.

     This Commitment Letter shall not be assignable by you without the prior written consent of
each of the Lead Lenders and the Lead Arrangers (and any purported assignment without such consent
shall be null and void) and, except as expressly provided with respect to indemnification, is
intended to be solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and is not intended to confer any
benefits upon, or create any rights in favor of, any person other than the parties hereto. This
Commitment Letter may not be amended or waived except by an instrument in writing signed by you and
each of the Lead Lenders and the Lead Arrangers. This Commitment Letter may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, and all of which, when taken together,
shall constitute one agreement. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Commitment Letter
by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of manually executed counterpart hereof.
This Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter are the only agreements that have been entered into among
the parties hereto with respect to the Facilities and set forth our entire understanding with
respect thereto. This Commitment Letter shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with,
the laws of the State of New York.

     You irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or
federal court sitting in the City of New York over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, the Term Sheet or the Transaction. You
irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such suit, action
or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding has
been brought in an inconvenient forum. You agree that a final judgment in any such suit, action or
proceeding brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon you and may be enforced
in any other courts

7

 

to whose jurisdiction you are or may be subject, by suit upon judgment. Each party hereto
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury
in any legal proceeding directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Commitment Letter
(including the Term Sheet), the Fee Letter, the Transaction or any other transaction contemplated
hereby or thereby (whether based on contract, tort or any other theory).

     This Commitment Letter is delivered to you on the understanding that, unless otherwise agreed
to in writing by each of the Lead Lenders and the Lead Arrangers, neither this Commitment Letter,
the Term Sheet or the Fee Letter nor any of their terms or substance shall be disclosed, directly
or indirectly, to any other person, except (a) on a confidential basis to your and Merger Partner’s
respective officers, directors, agents and advisors who are directly involved in the consideration
of this matter and has need to know, (b) as may be requested by any taxing authority in connection
with its evaluation of the tax treatment of the Spinoff and other aspects of the Transaction or any
other related transaction or (c) as may be compelled in a judicial or administrative proceeding or
as otherwise required by law; provided that you agree (i) to inform us promptly upon any disclosure
(and, to the extent you are permitted to do so under applicable law, any request therefor) under
clause (b) or (c) above and to cooperate with us in securing a protective order in the event of
compulsory disclosure and (ii) that any disclosure made pursuant to public filings shall be subject
to our prior review; and provided further that, following your execution and delivery of this
Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter, you may disclose this Commitment Letter and the Term Sheet
and their terms and substance (but not the Fee Letter or its terms or substance). You agree to
take such actions as shall be necessary to prevent the Fee Letter from becoming publicly available
except as otherwise required by law and to permit the applicable Lead Arranger or Lead Lender to
review and approve any reference to it or any of its affiliates in connection with the Facilities
or the transactions contemplated hereby contained in any press release or similar public disclosure
prior to public release. You further agree that any Lead Arranger or Lead Lender or any of their
respective affiliates may, at its own expense, publicly announce as such person may choose the
capacities in which it or its affiliates have acted hereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, any of you, Spinco and Merger Partner (and any employee, representative or other
agent of any such person) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the
U.S. federal income tax treatment and the U.S. federal income tax structure of the transactions
contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that
are provided to it relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. However, no disclosure of any
information relating to such tax treatment or tax structure may be made to the extent nondisclosure
is reasonably necessary in order to comply with applicable securities laws.

     You acknowledge that the Lead Arrangers and the Lead Lenders may be providing debt financing,
equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to other companies in
respect of which you, Spinco and/or Merger Partner may have conflicting interests regarding the
transactions described herein and otherwise. None of the Lead Arrangers or the Lead Lenders will
use confidential information obtained from you by virtue of the transactions contemplated by this
Commitment Letter or its other

8

 

relationships with you in connection with the performance by such Lead Arranger or Lead Lender
of services for other companies, and none of the Lead Arrangers or the Lead Lenders will furnish
any such information to other companies. You also acknowledge that the Lead Arrangers and the Lead
Lenders do not have any obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Commitment Letter, or to furnish to you, confidential information obtained from other companies.

     In connection with the transactions provided for hereunder with respect to the Facilities, you
acknowledge and agree (on your own behalf and on behalf of your affiliates) that (i) each such
transaction is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between Alltel, Spinco, Merger Partner and/or
their respective affiliates, on the one hand, and the Lead Arrangers and/or the Lead Lenders, on
the other hand, (ii) the Lead Arrangers and the Lead Lenders will act solely as principals and not
as agents or fiduciaries of Alltel, Spinco, Merger Partner or any of their stockholders,
affiliates, creditors, employees or any other person in connection with such transactions and the
process leading thereto, (iii) no Lead Arranger or Lead Lender will assume an advisory or fiduciary
responsibility in favor of Alltel, Spinco, Merger Partner or any of their affiliates with respect
to any such transaction or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lead Arranger
or any Lead Lender has advised or is currently advising any such person on other matters, including
without limitation in connection with the Spinoff and the Merger), and, except as expressly set
forth in this Commitment Letter, the Term Sheet and the Fee Letter, no Lead Arranger or Lead Lender
will have any obligation to Alltel, Spinco, Merger Partner, Wireline or any of their affiliates
with respect to any such transaction, (iv) the Lead Arrangers, the Lead Lenders and their
affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from
those of Alltel, Spinco, Merger Partner and their affiliates, and (v) the Lead Arrangers and the
Lead Lenders have not provided, and will not provide, any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax
advice with respect to any such transaction, and Alltel, Spinco, Merger Partner and their
affiliates have consulted, and will consult, their own legal, accounting, regulatory, and tax
advisors to the extent they deem appropriate. You hereby waive and release, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, any claims that you may have against any Lead Arranger or any Lead Lender with
respect to any breach or alleged breach of fiduciary duty arising out of the transactions provided
for hereunder with respect to the Facilities.

     We hereby notify you that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, Title III of
Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001) (the “Patriot Act”), the Lenders may be required
to obtain, verify and record information that identifies you, Spinco and Merger Partner, which
information includes the name, address and tax identification number and other information
regarding such person that will allow such Lender to identify them in accordance with the Patriot
Act. This notice is given in accordance with the requirements of the Patriot Act and is effective
as to the Lenders.

     As soon as practicable after the date hereof, but in no event later than the date of execution
of the Merger Agreement (as defined in the Term Sheet), you will cause each of Spinco and Merger
Partner (on its own behalf and on behalf of each of its subsidiaries) to assume in writing and
become jointly and severally liable for all of your obligations

9

 

hereunder and under the Fee Letter. Following the funding of the Term Facilities and the
consummation of the Spinoff, the Merger and the Exchange (if any) on the terms contemplated hereby
and by the Fee Letter (and payment to the Lead Arrangers and the Lead Lenders of any applicable
fees and expenses), and assumption in writing by the other Wireline Companies of the obligations
hereunder and under the Fee Letter, Alltel and each of its subsidiaries at such time shall be
released from any and all liabilities or obligations (financial or otherwise) arising hereunder or
in any away related to the transactions contemplated hereunder. For purposes of clarification,
nothing in this Commitment Letter, the Term Sheet, the Fee Letter or in any documentation executed
in connection herewith or therewith or with the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall
prohibit or otherwise impede, in any manner, Alltel or any of its subsidiaries (other than Spinco
and its subsidiaries) from entering into (or attempting to enter into), or engaging in discussions
with any person regarding, any financing arrangement or offering of securities that would not
reasonably be expected to impair the syndication of the Facilities in any material respect and that
is not required to consummate, or issued in connection with, the Transaction.

     Each of the Lead Arrangers and/or its affiliates have been retained as financial advisors to
Alltel and its affiliates (in such capacity, the “Financial Advisors”) in connection with the
Transaction. Each party hereto agrees not to assert any claim that might be alleged based on any
actual or potential conflicts of interest that might be asserted to arise from, on the one hand,
the engagement of the Financial Advisors and, on the other hand, our and our affiliates’
relationships with all parties hereunder and under the Fee Letter as described and referred to
herein.

     The Lead Lenders’ commitments hereunder shall terminate in their entirety on the earliest to
occur of (a) December 8, 2006 if the Closing Date does not occur on or prior thereto, (b) the date
of termination of the Merger Agreement (as defined in Exhibit B hereto) in accordance with its
terms, and (c) the execution of the Credit Documentation. The compensation, reimbursement,
indemnification, assignment and confidentiality provisions contained herein and in the Fee Letter
shall remain in full force and effect regardless of whether the Credit Documentation shall be
executed and delivered and notwithstanding the termination of this Commitment Letter or any Lead
Lender’s commitment hereunder. In addition, your obligations and agreements with respect to
syndication (including as to Information and Projections) shall remain in full force and effect
until the later of the Closing Date and the completion of a successful syndication of the
Facilities (as defined in the Fee Letter).

     If the foregoing correctly sets forth our agreement, please indicate your acceptance of the
terms hereof and of the Term Sheet and the Fee Letter by returning to us executed counterparts
hereof and of the Fee Letter not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 8, 2005.
The Lead Lenders’ commitments and the Lead Arrangers’ agreements herein will expire at such time
unless at or prior to such time you shall have returned to us such executed counterparts.

Annex I

SENIOR SECURED CREDIT FACILITIES

Interest and Certain Fees

	 	 	 
	Interest Rate Options:

	 	The Borrower may elect that the Loans comprising each borrowing bear interest at a rate per annum equal

to:
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	          the ABR plus the Applicable Margin; or
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	          the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus the Applicable Margin;
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	provided that all Loans made on the Closing Date shall be ABR Loans.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	The Borrower may elect interest periods of 1, 2, 3 or 6 months for Loans bearing interest based upon the
Adjusted LIBO Rate (“Eurodollar Loans”).
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	As used herein:
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	“ABR” means the highest of (i) the rate of interest publicly announced by the Administrative Agent as
its prime rate in effect at its principal office in New York City (the “Prime Rate”), and (ii) the
federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.5%.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	“Adjusted LIBO Rate” means the LIBO Rate, as adjusted for statutory reserve requirements for
eurocurrency liabilities.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	“Applicable Margin” means, for any day, (i) if the Facilities are rated Ba2 or higher by Moody’s and BB
or higher by S&P (in each case with a stable outlook), (A) in the case of Revolving Credit Loans,
Tranche A Term Loans and Tranche C Term Loans, 1.25% for Eurodollar Loans and 0.25% for ABR Loans, and
(B) in the case of Tranche B Term Loans, 1.50% for Eurodollar Loans and 0.50% for ABR Loans, and (ii)
otherwise, (A) in the case of Revolving Credit Loans, Tranche A Term Loans and Tranche C Term Loans,
1.50% for Eurodollar Loans and 0.50% for ABR Loans, and (B) in the case of Tranche B Term Loans, 1.75%
for Eurodollar Loans and 0.75% for ABR Loans.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	“LIBO Rate” means the rate at which eurodollar deposits in the London interbank market for 1, 2, 3 or 6
months (as selected by the Borrower) are quoted on the Telerate screen.

A-10

 

	 	 	 
	Interest Payment Dates:

	 	In the case of Loans bearing interest based upon the ABR (“ABR Loans”), quarterly in arrears.

	 
	 	 
	 

	 	In the case of Eurodollar Loans, on the last day of each relevant interest period and, in the case of
any interest period longer than three months, on each successive date three months after the first day
of such interest period.
	 
	 	 
	Commitment Fee:

	 	The Borrower shall pay a fee calculated at the rate of 0.25% per annum, subject to step-downs based upon
the Leverage Ratio to be agreed, on the average daily amount of the unused Revolving Credit commitment
and the unused Tranche C commitment, payable quarterly in arrears.
	 
	 	 
	Letter of Credit Fees:

	 	The Borrower shall pay a commission on all outstanding Letters of Credit at a per annum rate equal to
the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans on the face
amount of each such Letter of Credit. Such commission shall be shared ratably among the Revolving
Lenders and shall be payable quarterly in arrears.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	A fronting fee equal to 0.25% per annum on the face amount of each Letter of Credit shall be payable
quarterly in arrears to the Issuing Lender for its own account. In addition, customary administrative,
issuance, amendment, payment and negotiation charges shall be payable to the Issuing Lender for its own
account.
	 
	 	 
	Default Rate:

	 	At any time when the Borrower is in default under any of the Facilities, all outstanding amounts under
the Facilities shall bear interest at 2% above the rate otherwise applicable thereto.
	 
	 	 
	Rate and Fee Basis:

	 	All per annum rates shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days (or 365/366 days, in the case
of ABR Loans the interest rate payable on which is then based on the Prime Rate) for actual days
elapsed.

	 	(a)	 	The final terms and conditions of each aspect of the Transaction, including,

Lead Arrangers and the Lead Lenders in writing prior to the date of the Commitment
Letter and (ii) otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Lenders. The Lenders shall be
reasonably satisfied with the terms and conditions of (A) the contribution and
separation agreements and other documents relating to the Contribution and the Spinoff
(including as to the allocation of liabilities), (B) the merger agreement (including
all schedules and exhibits thereto) relating to Spinco and its subsidiaries (the

through (C), collectively, the “Transaction Documents”); it being understood that the
execution copies of the Merger Agreement and the Distribution Agreement (as defined in
the Merger Agreement), each dated as of the date hereof and previously delivered to the
Lead Arrangers, are acceptable to the Lenders. The Transaction Documents shall not
have been altered, amended or otherwise changed or supplemented or any condition
therein waived, in each case in a manner that is materially adverse to the interests of
the Lenders, without the prior written consent of the Lenders. The Contribution shall
have been consummated, and the Lenders shall be reasonably satisfied that the Spinoff,
the Merger and the Refinancing (including the release of the liens securing Merger
Partner’s existing bank facility) will be consummated substantially contemporaneously
with the initial funding under the Facilities, in each case substantially in accordance
with the terms of the applicable Transaction Documents and applicable material law and
regulatory approvals.
	 
	 	(b)	 	The Lead Arrangers shall have received reasonably satisfactory evidence that
the ratio of pro forma Consolidated Debt (to be defined) to pro forma Consolidated
EBITDA, adjusted to reflect expected synergies resulting from the Transaction
reasonably acceptable to the Lead Arrangers, of the Wireline Companies for the

 

 

	 	 	 	most recently available trailing four quarters ended prior to the Closing Date,
calculated after giving effect to the Transaction, was not greater than 3.50 to 1.0.

	 	(c)	 	Alltel and Spinco, Merger Partner and their respective subsidiaries shall have
complied with their obligations under the Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter
(including the payment of all fees and expenses then due and payable).
	 
	 	(d)	 	The Lenders shall have received customary guarantees from the Guarantors and
first-priority perfected liens on the Collateral (subject to liens acceptable to the
Lenders) and reasonably satisfactory evidence of the insurance maintained by the
Wireline Companies. The Lenders shall be reasonably satisfied with the terms of any
intercreditor arrangements with other lienholders.
	 
	 	(e)	 	The Lenders shall have received and be reasonably satisfied with (i) (A)
audited (for the 2003, 2004 and 2005 fiscal years) and unaudited quarterly consolidated
financial statements of Spinco and Merger Partner and all completed or probable
acquisitions (including pro forma consolidated financial statements of Wireline after
giving effect to the Transaction) meeting the requirements of Regulations S-X and S-K
for a Form S-1 registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
(B) a business plan of the Wireline Companies including projections on an annual basis
for the period from the Closing Date through December 31, 2012, in each case under this
clause (i) which are not inconsistent in a manner adverse to the Lenders with the
Information and Projections provided to the Lead Arrangers and the Lead Lenders prior
to the date of the Commitment Letter, (ii) recent lien and litigation searches and
(iii) such legal opinions (including with respect to the Collateral and regulatory
matters), officer’s solvency certificates and other certificates, instruments and
documents as are customary for transactions of this type or as the Lenders may

hereof, each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make, from time to
time during the Availability Period, (a) Syndicated Loans to the Parent
denominated in dollars, (b) Syndicated Loans to MWC denominated in a Foreign
Currency and (c) Syndicated Loans to Luxury denominated in a Foreign Currency,
in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result
in:

          (i) the sum of (x) such Lender's Syndicated Loan Exposure, plus (y)
     such Lender's L/C Exposure, plus (z) such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of
     all outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding such Lender's Revolving Credit
     Commitment, or

          (ii) the Dollar Equivalent of such Lender's outstanding Foreign
     Currency Loans exceeding such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of the Foreign
     Currency Sublimit Dollar Amount; or

          (iii) the Aggregate Credit Exposure exceeding the Total Revolving
     Credit Commitment.

Within the limits set forth in the preceding sentence and subject to the terms,
conditions and limitations set forth herein, the Borrowers may borrow, pay or
prepay and reborrow Syndicated Loans.

          Section 2.2. Making of Syndicated Loans. (a) Each Syndicated Loan
shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Syndicated Loans made by the
Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit
Commitments; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any
Syndicated Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation
to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be
responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Syndicated Loan
required to be made by such other Lender). The Syndicated Loans comprising any
Borrowing shall be in an

                                       16

<PAGE>

aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of $250,000 and that is
not less than $1,000,000 (in the case of each ABR Borrowing) or $2,000,000 (in
the case of a LIBOR Borrowing denominated in dollars) or 3,000,000 units of a
particular Foreign Currency in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing denominated in such
Foreign Currency; provided, however, that an ABR Borrowing may be in an amount
that is equal to the remaining balance of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment.
Syndicated Loans that are made pursuant to any Foreign Currency Borrowing shall
be made in the particular Foreign Currency and in an aggregate principal amount
specified in the applicable Syndicated Loan Borrowing Request (and the dollar
amount thereof shall be determined by the Administrative Agent as of the day
that is three Business Days before the day such Loans are made using the current
Exchange Rate as of the day that is three Business Days before the day such
Loans are made, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error).

          (b) Subject to Sections 4.1 and 4.3, each Borrowing of Syndicated
Loans denominated in dollars shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or LIBOR
Loans as the Parent may request pursuant to Section 2.3; and each Borrowing of
Syndicated Loans in a particular Foreign Currency shall be comprised entirely of
LIBOR Loans. Each Lender may at its option make any LIBOR Loan by causing any
domestic or foreign branch of such Lender or any Affiliate of such Lender which
is a Qualifying Bank to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such
option shall not affect the obligation of the applicable Borrower to repay such
Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrowings of more than one
Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided, however, that no Borrower
shall be entitled to request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in more
than twelve LIBOR Borrowings outstanding hereunder at any time. Borrowings
having different Interest Periods (regardless of whether they commence on the
same date), or denominated in different currencies, or made by different
Borrowers, shall be considered separate Borrowings.

          (c) Each Lender shall make each Syndicated Loan denominated in dollars
to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of
immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on such date to
the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such
purpose by notice to the Lenders. Each Lender shall make each Syndicated Loan
denominated in a Foreign Currency to be made by it hereunder on the proposed
date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon,
London time (or the time of such other city designated by the Administrative
Agent), on such date to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently
designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative
Agent will make such Loans available to the applicable Borrower by promptly
crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of such Borrower
maintained with (i) the Administrative Agent in New York City in the case of
such Loans denominated in dollars or (ii) the Administrative Agent (or its
designee) in London (or such other city as the Administrative Agent may in its
reasonable judgment designate in respect of particular Foreign Currency Loans)
in the case of Foreign Currency Loans, in each case designated by the Parent (on
its own behalf or on behalf of the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower) in
the applicable Syndicated Loan Borrowing Request; or if a Borrowing shall not
occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not
have been met, the Administrative Agent shall return the amounts so received to
the respective Lenders.

                                       17

<PAGE>

          (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Borrower
shall be entitled to request any Borrowing of Syndicated Loans that are LIBOR
Loans if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the
Maturity Date.

          Section 2.3. Borrowing Procedure as to Syndicated Loans. In order to
request a Borrowing of Syndicated Loans, the Parent (on its own behalf or on
behalf of the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower) shall hand deliver or
telecopy to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Syndicated Loan Borrowing
Request (a) in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing, not later than (i) 11:00 a.m., New
York City time (in the case of a Borrowing denominated in dollars) or (ii) 11:00
a.m., London time (in the case of a Borrowing denominated in a Foreign
Currency), 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. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding
sentence, the Administrative Agent agrees that it will (subject to the
Authorization Letter) accept from the Parent a Syndicated Loan Borrowing Request
by telephone by the applicable date and time specified in the immediately
preceding sentence, provided that the same is confirmed by the Parent to the
Administrative Agent in writing promptly (and in all events on the same day as
such telephone communication). Each Syndicated Loan Borrowing Request shall be
irrevocable, shall be signed by the Parent (on its own behalf or on behalf of
the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower), shall refer to this Agreement and
shall specify the following information: (a) that such Request relates to
Syndicated Loans and not a Swingline Loan; (b) whether the Borrowing then being
requested is to be a LIBOR Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing; (c) the date of such
Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day); (d) the number and location of the
account to which funds are to be disbursed (which shall be an account that
complies with the requirements of Section 2.2(c)); (e) the amount of such
Borrowing (which shall be expressed in dollars, regardless of whether such
Borrowing is a Foreign Currency Borrowing); (f) whether such Borrowing is to be
a Borrowing denominated in dollars or in a Foreign Currency (and, if a Foreign
Currency, identifying the Foreign Currency); (g) if such Borrowing is to be a
LIBOR Borrowing, the Interest Period or Periods with respect thereto; and (h)
the identity of the applicable Borrower of such Borrowing; provided, however,
that notwithstanding any contrary specification in any Syndicated Loan Borrowing
Request, each requested Borrowing of Syndicated Loans shall comply with the
requirements set forth in Section 2.2. If no election (or an incomplete
election) as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the
requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing if such Borrowing is denominated
in dollars. If no Interest Period with respect to any LIBOR 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 Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this
Section (and the contents thereof), and of each Lender's portion of the
requested Borrowing, and (in the case of a Foreign Currency Borrowing) of the
particular Foreign Currency in which it is to be denominated and the Foreign
Currency Equivalent of the specified dollar amount of such Borrowing and the
Exchange Rate utilized to determine such Foreign Currency Equivalent.

          Section 2.4. Swingline Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, the Swingline Bank agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Parent, from
time to time during the Availability Period, in dollars, in an aggregate
principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in:

                                       18

<PAGE>

          (i) the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans being in excess
     of $10,000,000, or

          (ii) the Aggregate Credit Exposure exceeding the Total Revolving
     Credit Commitment;

provided, however, that the Swingline Bank shall not be required to make a
Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within such limits,
and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein, the
Parent may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans from the Swingline
Bank.

          (b) The Swingline Loans shall be made in dollars and maintained as ABR
Loans.

          (c) Each Borrowing of a Swingline Loan shall be in an amount not less
than $1,000,000 and shall be in integral multiples of $250,000.

          (d) In order to request a Borrowing of a Swingline Loan, the Parent
shall hand deliver or telecopy to the Administrative Agent a duly completed
Swingline Loan Borrowing Request not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time,
on the Business Day on which the proposed Borrowing is to be made.
Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent
agrees that it will (subject to the Authorization Letter) accept from the Parent
a Swingline Loan Borrowing Request by telephone by the applicable date and time
specified in the immediately preceding sentence, provided that the same is
confirmed by the Parent to the Administrative Agent in writing promptly (and in
all events on the same day as such telephone communication). Each Swingline Loan
Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable, shall be signed on behalf of the Parent,
shall refer to this Agreement and shall state (i) that the requested Borrowing
is to be of a Swingline Loan, (ii) the amount of such Borrowing and (iii) the
date of such Borrowing (which is to be a Business Day). The Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify the Swingline Bank of such Swingline Loan Borrowing
Request. On the date so specified, the Swingline Bank shall make available the
amount of the Swingline Loan to be made by it on such date to the Administrative
Agent, in immediately available funds, at an account designated and maintained
by the Administrative Agent. The amount so received by the Administrative Agent
shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be made available
to the Parent by depositing the same in an account of the Parent maintained at
the Administrative Agent.

          Section 2.5. Participations by All Lenders in Swingline Loans. The
Swingline Bank may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later
than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Business Day require the 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 the Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such
notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Lender,
specifying in such notice such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline
Loan or Loans. Each 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 Bank, such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of such
Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees

                                       19

<PAGE>

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 or reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit
Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset,
abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender shall comply with
its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time,
on the day it receives such notice (or, if such Lender shall have received such
notice later than 10:00 a.m. on any Business Day, then not later than 10:00 a.m.
on the following Business Day). If any Lender does not pay such amount to the
Administrative Agent on the date required by the immediately preceding sentence,
such Lender shall (independently of and in addition to the Parent's obligation
to pay interest on such amount) pay interest on such amount, for each day from
and including the date such amount is so required to be paid by such Lender to
but excluding the date such amount is paid, to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Swingline Bank at (i) for the first such day, the Federal Funds
Effective Rate, and (ii) for each day thereafter, one percent per annum in
excess of the Federal Funds Effective Rate. The Administrative Agent shall
promptly pay to the Swingline Bank the amounts so received by it from the
Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Parent of any participations
in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph. Any amounts received
by the Administrative Agent from the Parent (or other party on behalf of the
Parent) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Bank of
the proceeds of a sale of participations therein 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 Bank, as their interests may
appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the
Administrative Agent, if and to the extent such payment is required to be
refunded to the Parent for any reason. The purchase of participations in a
Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Parent of any
default in the payment thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) a Lender
shall not have any obligation to purchase a participation in a Swingline Loan
pursuant to this paragraph if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing at the time such Swingline Loan was made and (aa) such Lender or any
other Lender shall have notified the Swingline Bank in writing, at least one
Business Day prior to the time such Swingline Loan was made, that such Event of
Default has occurred and that such notifying Lender will not acquire
participations in Swingline Loans made while such Event of Default is continuing
(unless the notifying Lender shall have withdrawn such notice), or (bb) the
Parent shall have notified the Swingline Bank in writing, at least one Business
Day prior to the time such Swingline Loan was made, that such Event of Default
has occurred; and (y) a Lender shall not have any obligation to purchase a
participation pursuant to this paragraph to the extent of its Pro Rata
Percentage of the aggregate amount of the excess (if any) of Swingline Loans
outstanding on the day of a Borrowing of any Swingline Loan over the limitation
in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 2.4(a), unless the Parent subsequently
eliminates such excess.

          Section 2.6. Repayment of Loans. (a) Each Borrower hereby
unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of
each Lender on the Maturity Date the then unpaid principal amount of each
Syndicated Loan of such Lender to such Borrower in the applicable currency of
such Syndicated Loan. Upon the request of any Lender at any time, such
obligation of each Borrower in favor of such Lender shall be evidenced by a
promissory note of such Borrower in favor of such Lender in substantially the
form of Exhibit A-1 hereto (the "Syndicated Loan Note" of such Lender as to the
applicable Borrower).

                                       20
<PAGE>

          (b) The Parent hereby unconditionally agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Bank the unpaid principal
amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Maturity Date or the first
date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a
calendar month and is at least two Business Days after such Swingline Loan is
made; provided that on each day that a Syndicated Borrowing by the Parent is
made, the Parent shall pay all Swingline Loans then outstanding. Upon the
request of the Swingline Bank at any time, such obligation of the Parent in
favor of the Swingline Bank shall be evidenced by a single promissory note of
the Parent in favor of the Swingline Bank in the amount of $10,000,000 in
substantially the form of Exhibit A-2 hereto (the "Swingline Loan Note").

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

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

          (e) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs
(c) and (d) above 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 Swingline Bank or the Administrative Agent to maintain such
accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of
any Borrower to repay its Loans in accordance with their terms.

          Section 2.7. Certain Fees. (a) The Parent agrees to pay to each
Lender, through the Administrative Agent, on the last 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 equal to the average daily unused amount of the
Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender during the preceding quarter (or
other period commencing with the Closing Date or ending with the Maturity Date
or the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender shall expire
or be terminated) multiplied by the Applicable Rate for such quarter or other
period (appropriately pro-rated, if the Applicable Rate changes during such
quarter or other period). "Usage" of the Revolving Credit Commitment of a Lender
shall include the Syndicated Loans of such Lender and such Lender's Pro Rata
Percentage of the L/C Exposure, but shall exclude Swingline Loans.

          (b) All commitment fees described in paragraph (a) of this Section
(the "Commitment Fees") shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of
days elapsed in a year of 360 days. The Commitment Fee due to each Lender shall
commence to accrue on the

                                       21

<PAGE>

Closing Date and shall cease to accrue on the date on which the Revolving Credit
Commitment of such Lender shall expire or be terminated as provided herein.

          (c) The Parent agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own
account, the fees with respect to the Administrative Agent's services hereunder
payable at the times and in the amounts separately agreed upon between the
Parent and the Administrative Agent (the "Administrative Agent Fees").

          (d) The Commitment Fees and the Administrative Agent Fees shall be
paid on the dates due in dollars and in immediately available funds to the
Administrative Agent, for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the
Lenders. Once paid, none of such Fees shall be refundable under any
circumstances.

          Section 2.8. Interest on Loans. (a) Subject to the provisions of
Section 2.9, the Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (whether of Syndicated
Loans or of a Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to
the Alternate Base Rate. Such interest shall be computed on the basis of the
actual number of days elapsed, over (if such interest is determined on the basis
of the Prime Rate) a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, or (if such
interest is determined on the basis of the Federal Funds Effective Rate) a year
of 360 days.

          (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.9, the Loans comprising
each LIBOR Borrowing of Syndicated Loans 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 Rate in effect from time to time.

          (c) Interest on each Loan shall be payable by the Borrower of such
Loan on the Interest Payment Dates applicable to such Loan except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement. The applicable Alternate Base Rate or applicable
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 2.9. Default Interest. If any Borrower shall default in the
payment required to be made by it of the principal of or interest on any Loan or
any other amount becoming due under this Agreement (the "Defaulted Amount"), at
stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, or under any other Facility
Document, then each Borrower shall on demand from time to time pay interest, to
the extent permitted by law, on its Loans then or thereafter outstanding
(irrespective of whether or not such Loans are due) and on all other amounts
then or thereafter due from it under this Agreement, to but excluding the date
of actual payment (after as well as before judgment) of the Defaulted Amount, at
a rate (the "Default Rate") equal to (a) in the case of overdue principal of
each outstanding Loan, the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan pursuant to
Section 2.8 plus 2.0% per annum and (b) in all other cases, the Alternate Base
Rate plus 2.0% per annum.

          Section 2.10. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) The
Revolving Credit Commitments and the L/C Commitment shall automatically expire
and terminate on the Maturity Date.

                                       22

<PAGE>

          (b) Upon at least three Business Days' prior irrevocable written or
telecopy notice to the Administrative Agent, the Parent may at any time in whole
permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the
Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction
of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be 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
Credit Exposure at the time (after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of
Loans). If the Administrative Agent receives such a notice from the Parent, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Lenders thereof.

          (c) If proceeds of the sale(s) of assets by the Parent or any of its
Subsidiaries are applied to the complete or partial retirement of the Prudential
Existing Notes or any Future Permitted Private Placement Debt (whether by
prepayment or reacquisition by the Parent or such Subsidiary or otherwise), each
Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment shall be reduced by the percentage
equivalent of a fraction whose numerator is the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of the Prudential Existing Notes and the Future Permitted Private
Placement Debt so retired and whose denominator is the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of the Prudential Existing Notes and the Future Permitted
Private Placement Debt immediately prior to such retirement. The Parent shall
give the Administrative Agent and the Lenders at least seven days' prior written
notice of any complete or partial retirement of the Prudential Existing Notes or
the Future Permitted Private Placement Debt out of proceeds of any such sale(s)
of assets.

          (d) Each reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder shall
be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving
Credit Commitments. The Parent shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the applicable Lenders, on the date of each termination or reduction,
the 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 2.11. Conversion and Continuation of Borrowings. (a) The
Parent (on its own behalf, in the case of a Borrowing denominated in dollars; or
on behalf of the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, in the case of a
Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency) or the applicable Foreign
Subsidiary Borrower (in the case of a Borrowing denominated in a Foreign
Currency) shall have the right at any time upon prior irrevocable notice to the
Administrative Agent (x) not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, one
Business Day prior to conversion, to convert any LIBOR Borrowing in dollars into
an ABR Borrowing, (y) not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time (or 11:00
a.m., London time, if a Borrowing is being continued as or converted to a
Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency), three Business Days prior to
conversion or continuation, to convert any ABR Borrowing of Syndicated Loans
into a LIBOR Borrowing in dollars or to continue any LIBOR Borrowing as a LIBOR
Borrowing in the same currency for an additional Interest Period or Periods, and
(z) not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time (or 11:00 a.m., London time,
if such Borrowing is denominated in a Foreign Currency), three Business Days
prior to conversion, to convert the Interest Period with respect to any LIBOR
Borrowing to another permissible Interest Period, subject in each case to the
following:

                                       23

<PAGE>

          (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 2.2(a) and 2.2(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 LIBOR Loan (or portion thereof)
     being converted shall be paid by the applicable Borrower at the time of
     conversion;

          (iv) if any LIBOR 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 the Lenders pursuant to Section 4.4;

          (v) no ABR Borrowing may be converted into a LIBOR Borrowing during
     the one-month period prior to the Maturity Date; and no LIBOR Borrowing
     whose Interest Period ends during the one-month period prior to the
     Maturity Date may be continued as a LIBOR Borrowing for an additional
     Interest Period; and

          (vi) any portion of a LIBOR Borrowing that cannot be continued as a
     LIBOR Borrowing by reason of the immediately preceding clause shall at the
     end of the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing be automatically
     converted into an ABR Borrowing (if such LIBOR Borrowing is denominated in
     dollars) or repaid by the applicable Borrower (if such LIBOR Borrowing is
     denominated in a Foreign Currency).

          Each notice pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable and shall
refer to this Agreement and specify (i) the identity of the Borrower of the
applicable Borrowing and the amount of the Borrowing that is requested to be
converted or continued, (ii) whether such Borrowing is to be converted to or
continued as a LIBOR 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 LIBOR
Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto. No such notice shall be
given more than seven Business Days prior to the effective date of the
applicable conversion or continuation. If no Interest Period is specified in any
such notice with respect to any conversion to or continuation as a LIBOR
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 notice shall not have been
given in accordance with this Section to continue any LIBOR Borrowing of
Syndicated Loans into a subsequent Interest Period or (in the case of the
Borrowing denominated in dollars) to convert such Borrowing to an ABR Borrowing,
such

                                       24

<PAGE>

Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto shall
automatically be converted to an ABR Borrowing (if such Borrowing is denominated
in dollars) or shall be repaid (if such Borrowing is denominated in a Foreign
Currency).

          (b) Notwithstanding any contrary provision contained in this
Agreement, upon notice to the Parent from the Administrative Agent given at the
request of the Required Lenders, after the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, (i) no outstanding Loan denominated in dollars may be
converted into, or continued as, a LIBOR Loan, and (ii) each LIBOR Borrowing
(unless such Borrowing is paid at or before the end of the Interest Period
applicable thereto) shall at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto
(if such Borrowing is denominated in dollars) be converted to an ABR Borrowing
or (if such Borrowing is denominated in a Foreign Currency) be continued as a
LIBOR Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month's duration in the same
currency, subject to paragraph (c) of this Section.

          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, if an Event of Default described in paragraph (e) of Section 10.1
occurs (other than clause (i) thereof), or if the maturity of the Loans is
accelerated pursuant to Article 10, all Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency
shall on the date of such occurrence or acceleration be converted into, and all
amounts due thereunder shall accrue and be payable in, dollars at the current
Exchange Rate on such date, and on and after such date the interest rate
applicable thereto shall be the rate applicable to overdue ABR Loans.

          (d) A Swingline Loan may not be converted into a LIBOR Loan.

          Section 2.12. Optional Prepayment. (a) Each Borrower 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' (in the case of LIBOR Borrowings) or
one Business Day's (in the case of ABR Borrowings of Syndicated Loans) prior
written or telecopy notice to the Administrative Agent before 11:00 a.m., New
York City time (or 11:00 a.m., London time, if such Borrowing is denominated in
a Foreign Currency), or (in the case of a Borrowing of a Swingline Loan) upon
such notice to the Administrative Agent before 11:00 a.m., New York City time,
on the day of such prepayment; provided, however, that each partial prepayment
shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 (in the case of a
Borrowing denominated in dollars) and not less than $1,000,000 (or the Foreign
Currency Equivalent of $1,000,000, if such Borrowing is denominated in a Foreign
Currency). Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, the
Administrative Agent agrees that it will (subject to the Authorization Letter)
accept from the Parent notice by telephone of prepayment by the dates and time
specified in the immediately preceding sentence, provided that the same is
confirmed by the Parent to the Administrative Agent in writing promptly (and in
all events on the same day as such telephone communication).

          (b) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the identity of the
Borrower, the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing (or
portion thereof) to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable and shall commit the
applicable Borrower to prepay such Borrowing by the amount stated therein on the
date stated therein. All prepayments under this Section shall be subject to
Section 4.4 but otherwise without premium or penalty. All prepayments under this

                                       25

<PAGE>

Section shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being
prepaid to the date of payment.

          Section 2.13. Mandatory Prepayments. (a) In the event of any
termination of all the Revolving Credit Commitments, each Borrower shall on the
date of such termination repay or prepay all its outstanding Borrowings of
Syndicated Loans and Swingline Loans and (if any L/C Exposure exists) the Parent
shall remit to the Administrative Agent for deposit in the Cash Collateral
Account cash in an amount equal to the L/C Exposure to secure the payment when
due of the reimbursement obligation of the Parent in respect of the aggregate
undrawn face amount of Letters of Credit.

          (b) In the event of any partial reduction of the Revolving Credit
Commitments, then (x) at or prior to the effective date of such reduction, the
Administrative Agent shall notify the Parent and the Lenders of the Aggregate
Credit Exposure after giving effect thereto and (y) if the Aggregate Credit
Exposure would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment after giving effect
to such reduction, then on the date of such reduction one or more Borrowers
shall prepay its or their respective Borrowings in an amount sufficient to
eliminate such excess, and (if the prepayment of Borrowings is not sufficient to
eliminate such excess) the Parent shall remit to the Administrative Agent for
deposit in the Cash Collateral Account cash in the remaining amount of such
excess to secure the payment when due of the reimbursement obligation of the
Parent in respect of the aggregate undrawn face amount of Letters of Credit.
Without limiting the generality of the reductions referred to in this paragraph
of the Revolving Credit Commitments, such reductions shall include reductions
referred to in Section 2.10(c).

          (c) In addition, if as of the last Business Day of each calendar month
the Dollar Equivalent (computed by the Administrative Agent using the current
Exchange Rate as of such Business Day and promptly notified to the Lenders and
the Parent (on behalf of itself and the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers)) of the
aggregate outstanding principal balance of Foreign Currency Loans shall exceed
110% of the Foreign Currency Sublimit Dollar Amount, one or more Foreign
Subsidiary Borrowers shall, within five Business Days after the Parent's receipt
of such notice, prepay Foreign Currency Loans in an amount sufficient so as to
reduce the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of
Foreign Currency Loans to an amount that is equal to or less than the Foreign
Currency Sublimit Dollar Amount.

          (d) All prepayments of Borrowings under this Section shall be subject
to Section 4.4, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty.

          (e) Amounts to be applied pursuant to this Section to the prepayment
by the Parent of Swingline Loans and/or Syndicated Loans shall be applied, as
applicable, first to reduce outstanding Swingline Loans, then to reduce
outstanding Syndicated Loans that are ABR Loans. Any amounts remaining after
each such application shall be applied to prepay LIBOR Loans of the Parent
immediately and/or, if elected by the Parent so long as no Event of Default
exists, be deposited in the Cash Collateral Account; and any amount to be
remitted by the Parent pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section in
respect of Letters of Credit shall be deposited in the Cash Collateral Account.
In the case of such an immediate prepayment of LIBOR Loans of the Parent, the
Parent shall (unless an Event of Default exists) be entitled to designate which
LIBOR Borrowings of the Parent are to be prepaid, by giving written notice of
such designation

                                       26

<PAGE>

to the Administrative Agent at or before the remittance to the Administrative
Agent of the amounts to be applied in prepayment. Amounts to be applied pursuant
to this Section to the prepayment by a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower of Syndicated
Loans shall be applied to prepay LIBOR Loans of such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower
immediately and/or, if elected by the Parent (on behalf of such Foreign
Subsidiary Borrower) or such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower so long as no Event of
Default exists, be deposited in the Cash Collateral Account. In the case of such
an immediate prepayment by a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower of LIBOR Loans of such
Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, the Parent (on behalf of such Foreign Subsidiary
Borrower) or such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall (unless an Event of Default
exists) be entitled to designate which LIBOR Borrowings of such Foreign
Subsidiary Borrower are to be prepaid, by giving written notice of such
designation to the Administrative Agent at or before the remittance to the
Administrative Agent of the amounts to be applied in prepayment.

          (f) The Administrative Agent shall apply any cash deposited in the
Cash Collateral Account (i) in respect of LIBOR Loans of the Parent, to prepay
LIBOR Loans of the Parent on the last day of their respective Interest Periods
(or, at the direction of the Parent, on any earlier date) until all such
outstanding Loans have been prepaid or until all the allocable cash on deposit
with respect to such Loans has been exhausted; (ii) in respect of L/C Exposure,
to pay as and when the same becomes due the reimbursement obligation of the
Parent in respect of Letters of Credit; and (iii) in respect of LIBOR Loans of a
Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, to prepay LIBOR Loans of such Foreign Subsidiary
Borrower on the last day of their respective Interest Periods (or, at the
direction of the Parent on behalf of such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, on any
earlier date) until all such outstanding Loans of such Foreign Subsidiary
Borrower have been prepaid or until all the allocable cash on deposit with
respect to such Loans has been exhausted. If any Letter of Credit so secured by
such cash collateral expires without being drawn (or, if drawn, whose
reimbursement is paid by the Parent with funds other than such cash collateral),
the Administrative Agent shall remit to the Parent such cash collateral securing
such Letter of Credit promptly after a request by the Parent therefor, provided
that no Default or Event of Default exists. For purposes of this Agreement, the
term "Cash Collateral Account" shall mean an account established by the Parent
(on its own behalf or on behalf of the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower)
with the Administrative Agent and over which the Administrative Agent shall have
exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal for
application in accordance with this paragraph. The Administrative Agent will, at
the request of the Parent (on its own behalf or on behalf of the applicable
Foreign Subsidiary Borrower), invest amounts on deposit in the Cash Collateral
Account in Permitted Investments; provided, however, that (i) the Administrative
Agent shall not be required to make any investment that, in its sole judgment,
would require or cause the Administrative Agent to be in, or would result in
any, violation of any law, statute, rule or regulation, and (ii) the
Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to invest amounts on deposit in
the Cash Collateral Account if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, and (iii) as to amounts on deposit for the prepayment of LIBOR
Borrowings, such Permitted Investments shall mature prior to the last day of the
applicable Interest Periods of the LIBOR Borrowings to be prepaid. The Parent or
the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower (as the case may be) shall indemnify
the Administrative Agent for any losses relating to the investments so that the
amount available to prepay LIBOR Borrowings of the Parent or the applicable
Foreign Subsidiary Borrower (as the case may be) on the last day of the
applicable Interest Period, and (in the case of the Parent) to pay L/C Exposure
as and when the same becomes due, is not less than the amount that would have
been available had no

                                       27

<PAGE>

investments been made pursuant hereto. Other than any interest earned on such
investments, the Cash Collateral Account shall not bear interest. Interest or
profits, if any, on such investments shall be deposited in the Cash Collateral
Account and reinvested and disbursed as specified above. If the maturity of the
Loans has been accelerated pursuant to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent
may, in its sole discretion, apply all amounts on deposit in the Cash Collateral
Account to satisfy any of the amounts due under this Agreement or any other
Facility Document, except that amounts deposited in the Cash Collateral Account
by a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower in respect of LIBOR Loans of such Foreign
Subsidiary Borrower shall not be applied to the Loans or other amounts owing
under this Agreement by the other Foreign Subsidiary Borrower or to the Loans or
other amounts owing under this Agreement by the Parent. Each Borrower hereby
grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent,
the Swingline Bank, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, a security interest in the
Cash Collateral Account to secure all amounts due from such Borrower under this
Agreement and (in the case of the Parent) due from the Parent under the Parent
Guarantee.

          Section 2.14. Payments. (a) Each Borrower shall make each payment
required to be made by it hereunder and under any Facility Document (whether of
principal, interest, fees, reimbursement of L/C Disbursements or otherwise) not
later than 12:00 noon, local time at the place of payment, on the date when due
in immediately available funds, without setoff, defense or counterclaim. Any
amounts received after such time on any date may, in the reasonable discretion
of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next
succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. Each such
payment (other than Issuing Bank Fees, which shall be paid directly to the
Issuing Bank) shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 270
Park Avenue, New York, New York (or as otherwise instructed by the
Administrative Agent, in the case of amounts payable in a Foreign Currency) or
to such other address as the Administrative Agent may designate to the Parent in
writing. Each such payment shall be made in dollars, except that (subject to
Section 2.11(c)) (i) all principal of and interest on each Loan denominated in a
Foreign Currency shall be made in such Foreign Currency and (ii) any amounts
payable in respect of reimbursement of expenses or indemnification incurred in a
currency other than dollars shall be paid in such currency unless otherwise
agreed by the relevant parties. The Administrative Agent, or any Lender for
whose account any such payment is to be made, may (but shall not be obligated
to) debit the amount of any such payment which is not made by such time to any
ordinary deposit account of the Parent or the applicable Foreign Subsidiary
Borrower with the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and
any Lender so doing shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent; such Lender
or (if the Administrative Agent effects such debit) the Administrative Agent
shall promptly after effecting such debit give notice thereof to the Parent (on
behalf of itself or the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower) as well,
provided, however, that a failure to give such notice to the Parent or the
applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall not affect the validity of such
debit or place such Lender or the Administrative Agent under any liability to
the Parent or the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower. Each Borrower (or the
Parent on behalf of the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower) shall, at the
time of making each payment under this Agreement or the Notes, specify to the
Administrative Agent the principal or other amount payable by the applicable
Borrower under this Agreement or the Notes to which such payment is to be
applied (and in the event that it fails to so specify, or if a Default or Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing), the Administrative Agent may apply
such payment as it may elect in its sole discretion (subject to Section 11.16)).

                                       28

<PAGE>

          (b) Whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any
Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder or under any other Facility
Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a
Business Day, such payment may, except as otherwise provided in the definition
of Interest Period, be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such
extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest
or Fees, if applicable.

          Section 2.15. Purpose. Each Borrower shall use the proceeds of the
Loans borrowed by it for working capital and general corporate purposes. Such
proceeds shall not be used for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or
ultimate, of buying or carrying "margin stock" within the meaning of Regulation
U in contravention of Regulation U.

          Section 2.16. Increase of Total Revolving Credit Commitment. The
Parent may from time to time elect to increase the Total Revolving Credit
Commitment, provided that (i) each such increase is not less than $5,000,000 and
(ii) after giving effect to each increase that becomes effective, the aggregate
amount of increases of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment under this Section
does not exceed $50,000,000. The Parent may arrange for any such increase to be
provided by (a) one or more then-existing Lenders agreeing (in the sole
discretion of such Lenders) to an increase in their own respective Revolving
Credit Commitments (each Lender so agreeing to an increase in its Revolving
Credit Commitment being called herein an "Increasing Lender") and/or (b) one or
more banks, financial institutions or other entities becoming party to this
Agreement as Lenders and providing Revolving Credit Commitments (each such bank,
financial institution or other entity being called an "Augmenting Lender"),
provided that (x) each Augmenting Lender shall be subject to the approval of the
Parent, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Bank (such
approval, in each case, not to be unreasonably withheld) and (y) the Borrowers
and the relevant Increasing Lenders and Augmenting Lenders shall execute and
deliver all such documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably
request (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent) solely to evidence (in the case of an Increasing Lender) the increased
Revolving Credit Commitment of such Increasing Lender or (in the case of an
Augmenting Lender) the status of the Augmenting Lender as a Lender and its new
Revolving Credit Commitment (which documentation, including an amendment to this
Agreement, shall not be required to be executed by any Lender other than such
Increasing Lender(s) and/or Augmenting Lender(s) as applicable). Increases in
Revolving Credit Commitments and new Revolving Credit Commitments shall become
effective on the date agreed by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and (as
applicable) the Increasing Lenders and Augmenting Lenders, and the
Administrative Agent shall notify the other Lenders thereof. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no increase in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall become
effective pursuant to this Section unless (aa) on the proposed date of the
effectiveness of such increase, the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a) and
(b) of Section 5.2 are satisfied as of such date (and the Administrative Agent
shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date executed by the
Borrowers) as if such increase were an extension of credit hereunder and (bb)
the Administrative Agent shall have received documents consistent with those
delivered on the Closing Date under paragraphs (d), (e) and (f) of Section 5.1
as to the corporate power and authority of each Borrower to borrow and otherwise
obtain extensions of credit hereunder after giving effect to such increase. Each
increase in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment that becomes effective shall
automatically effectuate an increase in the Foreign Currency Sublimit

                                       29

<PAGE>

Dollar Amount by an amount equal to one-half of such increase in the Total
Revolving Credit Commitment. On the effective date of each such increase in the
Total Revolving Credit Commitment, each Borrower shall make such Borrowings and
repayments as shall, in the determination of the Administrative Agent, be
necessary to effect the reallocation of Pro Rata Percentages in outstanding
Syndicated Loans to each Borrower that is represented by the increase and/or
addition of Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section, and such
repayments shall be subject to indemnification by the applicable Borrower
pursuant to Section 4.4 if any repayment occurs on a day other than the last day
of the applicable Interest Period.

                          ARTICLE 3. LETTERS OF CREDIT

          Section 3.1. Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, the Parent may request, and the Issuing Bank shall issue, one or more
standby or commercial letters of credit (each a "Letter of Credit") denominated
in dollars, for the account of the Parent or any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, in
form acceptable to the Issuing Bank, from time to time during the Availability
Period, provided that, after giving effect to the issuance thereof:

          (a) the L/C Exposure shall not exceed $15,000,000, and

          (b) the Aggregate Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Total Revolving
Credit Commitment.

          Section 3.2 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 Parent (on its own behalf or
on behalf of the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower) shall hand deliver or
telecopy to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (not later than two
Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal
or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit (together
with, if requested by the Issuing Bank, a completed Letter of Credit application
in the Issuing Bank's then standard form), 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 Section 3.3), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and
address of the beneficiary thereof, the account party thereof and such other
information as shall be necessary to prepare such Letter of Credit.
Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, the Issuing Bank and the
Administrative Agent agree that they will (subject to the Authorization Letter)
accept from the Parent such notice by telephone by the date that is two Business
Days in advance as aforesaid, provided that such notice is confirmed in writing
promptly (and in all events on the same day as such telephone communication) and
that (in the case of a requested issuance of a Letter of Credit) such
confirmation is accompanied by such completed Letter of Credit application form.
In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit
application or other agreement submitted by the Parent (on its own behalf or on
behalf of the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower) to, or entered into by the
Parent with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and
conditions of this Agreement shall control.

<PAGE>

          Section 3.3. Minimum Amount; Expiration Date. (a) The stated amount of
each Letter of Credit shall not be less than $1,000,000 or such lesser amount as
is acceptable to the Issuing Bank.

          (b) Each Letter of Credit shall expire by its terms not later than the
earlier of (A)(i) in the case of a commercial Letter of Credit, 180 days after
the issuance thereof (unless the Issuing Bank agrees to a more extended expiry
date) or (ii) in the case of a standby Letter of Credit, one year after the date
of issuance thereof (subject to an "evergreen" provision, if and to the extent
acceptable to the Issuing Bank); or (B) the day that is five Business Days
before the Maturity Date.

          Section 3.4. Participations. By the issuance of each Letter of Credit
(or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and
without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the
Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each 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 Lender hereby absolutely
and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account
of the Issuing Bank, as provided in Section 3.5, such Lender's Pro Rata
Percentage of each L/C Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed
by the applicable Borrower forthwith on the date due as provided in Section 3.5,
or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to such Borrower for any
reason. Each 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 any amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit,
or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, or a
reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, and that each such
payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction
whatsoever. The Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank shall be entitled to
offset amounts received for the account of a Lender under this Agreement or any
of the other Facility Documents against unpaid amounts due from such Lender to
the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank hereunder.

          Section 3.5. Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any L/C
Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall
reimburse such L/C Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount
equal to such L/C Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on
the date that such L/C Disbursement is made, if such Borrower shall have
received notice of such L/C Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City
time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by such Borrower
prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, New York City
time, on (i) the Business Day that such Borrower receives such notice, if such
notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of
receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that such
Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time
on the day of receipt; provided that, if such L/C Disbursement is not less than
$1,000,000, such Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth
herein, request in accordance with Section 2.3 or 2.4 that such payment be
financed with a Syndicated Borrowing of ABR Loans or a Swingline Loan in an
equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, such Borrower's obligation to
make such payment shall be deemed reimbursed, discharged and replaced by the

                                       31

<PAGE>

resulting Syndicated Borrowing of ABR Loans or such Swingline Loan. If such
Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall
notify each Lender of the applicable L/C Disbursement, the payment then due from
such Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage thereof.
Upon its receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative
Agent such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of the payment then due from such
Borrower, in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City
time, on the day such Lender receives such notice (or if such Lender shall have
received such notice later than 12:00 noon, then not later than 10:00 a.m., New
York City time, on the next succeeding Business Day). If any Lender does not pay
to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of
the payment then due from the applicable Borrower as required by the immediately
preceding sentence, such Lender shall (independently of and in addition to such
Borrower's obligation to pay interest on such amount) pay interest on such
amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is so required to
be paid by such Lender to but excluding the date such amount is paid, to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank at (i) for the first
such day, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and (ii) for each day thereafter one
percent per annum in excess of the Federal Funds Effective Rate. The
Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so
received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the
Administrative Agent of any payment from the applicable Borrower pursuant to
this Section, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the
Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this
paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the Issuing
Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to
this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any L/C Disbursement (other
than the funding of ABR Syndicated Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated
above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Parent of its
obligation to reimburse such L/C Disbursement. Notwithstanding anything in this
Article 3 to the contrary, the maximum amount that any Lender shall be required
to fund in respect of any L/C Disbursement, whether pursuant to Section 3.4 or
this Section or as an ABR Loan pursuant to this Section, shall not exceed such
Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of such L/C Disbursement.

          Section 3.6. Obligations Absolute. Each Borrower's obligation to
reimburse L/C Disbursements as provided in Section 3.5 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 Facility 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 Facility 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 Facility
     Document or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction;

                                       32

<PAGE>

          (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, provided that such draft and other
     documents substantially 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, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any other Person or
     any other event or circumstances 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 misconduct of the Issuing Bank. However, the
foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to
each Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential
damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by such 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 willful
misconduct or gross negligence of the Issuing Bank.

          Section 3.7. 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 telecopy, 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
Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement. The Administrative Agent
shall promptly give each Lender notice thereof.

                                       33

<PAGE>

          Section 3.8. 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 the date on which such
L/C Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for
each day from and including the date of such L/C Disbursement to but excluding
the date that such Borrower reimburses such L/C Disbursement, at the rate per
annum that would apply to such amount if such amount were an ABR Loan. Interest
accrued pursuant to this Section shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank,
except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender
pursuant to Section 3.4 or 3.5 to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the
account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

          Section 3.9. Letter of Credit Fees. Each Borrower agrees to pay (i) to
each Lender, through the Administrative Agent, on the last 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 average 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 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 have been terminated) at a
rate equal to (in the case of standby Letters of Credit) the same Applicable
Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to LIBOR Loans and (in the
case of commercial Letters of Credit) 0.20% per annum, and (ii) to the Issuing
Bank with respect to each Letter of Credit, a facing fee at a rate equal to
0.0625% per annum in respect of each standby Letter of Credit (payable at the
same times that the L/C Participation Fee is payable) plus, in the case of any
Letter of Credit, 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. The L/C Participation Fee and the Issuing
Bank Fees shall be paid on the dates due in immediately available funds, (in the
case of the L/C Participation Fee) to the Administrative Agent for distribution
as appropriate among the Lenders and (in the case of the Issuing Bank Fees)
directly to the Issuing Bank.

          Section 3.10. Resignation of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may
resign at any time by giving 180 days' prior written notice to the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Parent. The Parent shall have the
right to appoint any Lender as successor Issuing Bank, subject to the consent of
the Required Lenders including the appointed Lender (which consent of the
appointed Lender shall be in such Lender's sole discretion, and which consent of
the other Required Lenders shall not be unreasonably withheld). 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 (except to the extent provided for in the last sentence of this
Section) and the retiring Issuing Bank shall be discharged from its obligations
to issue additional Letters of Credit hereunder. At the time such resignation
shall become effective, each Borrower shall pay to such retiring Issuing Bank
all accrued and unpaid Issuing Bank Fees on the Letters of Credit issued for
such Borrower's account. 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 the Parent and the Administrative
Agent, and from and after

                                       34

<PAGE>

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 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 an Issuing Bank under this
Agreement and the other Facility Documents with respect to Letters of Credit
issued by it prior to such resignation, but shall not be required to issue
additional Letters of Credit.

          Section 3.11. Not Fiduciary. In no event shall the Issuing Bank be
deemed a fiduciary of the Lenders with respect to Letters of Credit. As between
the Issuing Bank (on the one hand) and the Lenders (on the other hand), the
Issuing Bank shall have in connection with the Letters of Credit all the rights
and protections that are afforded to the Administrative Agent in Article 11.

          Section 3.12. Purpose. No Letter of Credit shall be used by any
Borrower for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of buying
or carrying "margin stock" within the meaning of Regulation U in contravention
of Regulation U.

                  ARTICLE 4. YIELD PROTECTION; ILLEGALITY; ETC.

          Section 4.1. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement
of any Interest Period for a LIBOR Borrowing denominated in any currency:

          (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination, if made
     on a reasonable and nondiscriminatory basis, shall be conclusive absent
     manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
     ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Borrowing for such Interest
     Period; or

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

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Parent (on behalf
of itself and the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers, if applicable) and the Lenders
by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the
Administrative Agent notifies the Parent (on behalf of itself and the Foreign
Subsidiary Borrowers, if applicable) and the Lenders that the circumstances
giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any request to convert any
Borrowing to, or to continue any Borrowing as, a LIBOR Borrowing in such
currency shall be ineffective, and any LIBOR Borrowing denominated in such
currency shall be repaid on the last day of the then current Interest Period
with respect thereto or (at the option of the Parent, in the case of a LIBOR
Borrowing denominated in dollars) shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing in
accordance with this Agreement on the last day of the then current Interest
Period with respect thereto, (ii) if any Syndicated Loan Borrowing Request
requests a LIBOR Borrowing denominated in such currency, (x) if such currency is
dollars, such Borrowing shall be made as

                                       35

<PAGE>

an ABR Borrowing, and (y) if such currency is not dollars, such Borrowing
Request shall be ineffective.

          Section 4.2. Reserve Requirement; Change in Circumstances. (a)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if after the date of this
Agreement any change in applicable law or regulation or in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of
law) shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender or the
Swingline Bank or the Issuing Bank of the principal of or interest on any LIBOR
Loan made by such Lender or any Fees or other amounts payable hereunder (other
than changes in respect of taxes imposed on the overall net income of such
Lender or the Swingline Bank or the Issuing Bank by the jurisdiction in which
such Lender or the Swingline Bank or the Issuing Bank has its principal office
or by any political subdivision or taxing authority therein), or 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 Swingline Bank or the Issuing Bank (except only such reserve
requirement which is reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or shall impose on
such Lender or the Swingline Bank or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank
market (or other relevant interbank market) any other condition affecting this
Agreement or LIBOR 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 Swingline Bank or the Issuing Bank of
making or maintaining any LIBOR Loan or 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 Swingline Bank or
the Issuing Bank hereunder in respect thereof (whether of principal, interest or
otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Lender or the Swingline Bank or the
Issuing Bank to be material, then the Parent or the applicable Foreign
Subsidiary Borrower shall pay to such Lender or the Swingline Bank or the
Issuing Bank, as the case may be, upon demand such additional amount or amounts
as will compensate such Lender or the Swingline Bank or the Issuing Bank, as the
case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. There
shall be no duplication of payments in respect of Indemnified Taxes and Other
Taxes required to be made by this Section and by Section 4.5.

          (b) If any Lender or the Swingline Bank or the Issuing Bank shall have
determined that the adoption after the date hereof of any law, rule, regulation,
agreement or guideline regarding capital adequacy or any change after the date
hereof in any law, rule, regulation, agreement or guideline regarding capital
adequacy (whether or not such law, rule, regulation, agreement or guideline has
been adopted) or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any
Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or any lending office of such Lender) or
the Swingline Bank or the Issuing Bank or any Lender's or the Swingline Bank's
or the Issuing Bank's holding company with any request or directive regarding
capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental
Authority has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such
Lender's or the Swingline Bank's or the Issuing Bank's capital or on the capital
of such Lender's or the Swingline Bank's or the Issuing Bank's holding company,
if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made or participation in
Letters of Credit purchased by such Lender or by the Swingline Bank pursuant
hereto or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank pursuant hereto to a
level below that which such Lender or the Swingline Bank or

                                       36

<PAGE>

the Issuing Bank or such Lender's or the Swingline Bank's or the Issuing Bank's
holding company could have achieved but for such applicability, adoption, change
or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's or the Swingline Bank's
or the Issuing Bank's policies and the policies of such Lender's or the
Swingline Bank's or the Issuing Bank's holding company with respect to capital
adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender or the Swingline Bank or the
Issuing Bank to be material, then from time to time the Parent or the applicable
Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall pay to such Lender or the Swingline Bank or
the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender or the Swingline Bank or the Issuing Bank or such
Lender's or the Swingline Bank's or the Issuing Bank's holding company for any
such reduction suffered.

          (c) A certificate of a Lender or the Swingline Bank or the Issuing
Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or
the Swingline Bank or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as applicable, as
specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above shall be delivered to the Parent and
shall (if the determination of such amount or amounts is made on a reasonable
and nondiscriminatory basis) be conclusive absent manifest error. The Parent or
the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall pay such Lender or the
Swingline Bank or the Issuing Bank the amount shown as due on any such
certificate delivered by it within 10 days after receipt by the Parent of the
same.

          (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Swingline Bank
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 Swingline Bank or the Issuing Bank's
right to demand such compensation; provided, however, that if any Lender or the
Swingline Bank or the Issuing Bank demands such compensation in respect of a
period prior to the date on which written demand therefor is given to the
Parent, then the obligation of the Parent or the applicable Foreign Subsidiary
Borrower to pay such compensation in respect of such period shall be limited to
the three months prior to the giving of such written demand, plus (if such
demand results from a retroactive change in the aforesaid law, regulation,
interpretation, administration, or guideline) the period of such retroactivity;
however, such limitation shall not apply in respect of the period from and after
the giving of such written demand. The protection of this Section shall be
available to each Lender and the Swingline Bank or the Issuing Bank regardless
of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law,
rule, regulation, agreement, guideline or other change or condition that shall
have occurred or been imposed.

          Section 4.3. Change in Legality. (a) Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, if, after the date hereof, any change in any law or
regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority
charged with the administration or interpretation thereof shall make it unlawful
for any Lender to make or maintain any LIBOR Loan denominated in a particular
currency or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with
respect to any LIBOR Loan denominated in a particular currency, then, by written
notice to the Parent (on behalf of itself or a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, as
applicable) and to the Administrative Agent:

                                       37
<PAGE>

          (x) such Lender may declare that LIBOR Loans in such currency will not
     thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender
     hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods) and that Loans
     of any other Type will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into
     LIBOR Loans denominated in such currency; whereupon (if such currency is
     dollars) any request for a LIBOR Borrowing in dollars (or to convert an ABR
     Borrowing into a LIBOR Borrowing in dollars or to continue a LIBOR
     Borrowing in dollars for an additional Interest Period) shall as to such
     Lender only be deemed a request for an ABR Loan unless such declaration is
     subsequently withdrawn; and

          (y) such Lender may require that all outstanding LIBOR Loans made by
     it in such currency be converted to ABR Loans (if such currency is dollars)
     or be repaid by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower (if such
     currency is a Foreign Currency), in which event all such LIBOR Loans shall
     be so converted or repaid (as applicable) as of the effective date of such
     notice as provided in paragraph (b) of this Section.

In the case of any conversion pursuant to the exercise by any Lender of its
rights under clause (x) or (y) above, all payments and prepayments of principal
that would otherwise have been applied to repay the LIBOR Loans in dollars that
would have been made by such Lender or the converted LIBOR Loans in dollars 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 LIBOR Loans in dollars.

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

          Section 4.4. Indemnity. As to the Loans of each Borrower, such
Borrower 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 LIBOR Loan prior to the end of the Interest
Period in effect therefor, (ii) the conversion of any LIBOR Loan to an ABR Loan,
or the conversion of the Interest Period with respect to any LIBOR Loan, in each
case other than on the last day of the Interest Period in effect therefor, or
(iii) any LIBOR Loan to be made by such Lender (including any LIBOR Loan to be
made pursuant to a conversion or continuation under Section 2.11) not being made
after notice of such Loan shall have been given by the Parent or applicable
Foreign Subsidiary 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
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 LIBOR 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

                                       38

<PAGE>

pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Parent (on behalf of itself
or the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower) and shall (if the determination
of such amount or amounts is made on a reasonable and nondiscriminatory basis)
be conclusive absent manifest error.

          Section 4.5. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any
obligation of any Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without
deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes except as otherwise required
by applicable law; provided that, if any Borrower shall be required by
applicable law 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, each Lender, the
Swingline Bank or the 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) the
applicable Borrower shall make such deductions, and (iii) the applicable
Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable law.

          (b) In addition, each Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes payable by it
to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

          (c) Each Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each
Lender, the Swingline Bank 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, the Swingline Bank or the Issuing
Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of
any obligation of such Borrower hereunder (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 Parent (on behalf of itself or the applicable Foreign Subsidiary
Borrower) by a Lender or the Swingline Bank or the Issuing Bank, or by the
Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Swingline
Bank or the Issuing Bank, shall (if there is a reasonable basis for such payment
or liability, and if the determination of the amount thereof is made on a
reasonable basis) be conclusive absent manifest error.

          (d) After payment by a Borrower to the demanding party of the amount
demanded pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, such Borrower shall be
entitled to commence a legal proceeding against the applicable Governmental
Authority to recover the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes so paid by the
demanding party; and (after such payment by such Borrower to the demanding
party) the demanding party shall at the sole expense of such Borrower cooperate
with such Borrower as such Borrower may reasonably request with respect to such
legal proceeding, provided that the demanding party may do so without material
risk of liability.

          (e) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes by a Borrower to a Governmental Authority, such Borrower shall
deliver to the

                                       39

<PAGE>

Administrative Agent written evidence thereof reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent.

          (f) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole
discretion, or becomes aware that it has received, or is entitled to, a refund
of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the
applicable Borrower or with respect to which such Borrower has paid additional
amounts pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as
the case may be, shall pay over to such Borrower (i) such refund or (ii) if the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, has decided to not make
a claim for a refund to the relevant Governmental Authority, the amount of any
refund the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, would have
been entitled, in its reasonable judgment, to receive had it made such claim
(but, in each case, only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional
amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or
Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without
interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority
with respect to such refund); provided that each Borrower, upon the request of
the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to
such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the
relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in
the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such
refund to such Governmental Authority.

          (g) This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative
Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information
relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other
Person.

          Section 4.6. Duty to Mitigate. If (i) any Lender or the Swingline Bank
or the Issuing Bank shall request compensation under Section 4.2, (ii) any
Lender or the Swingline Bank or the Issuing Bank delivers a notice described in
Section 4.3 or (iii) a Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any
Lender or the Swingline Bank or the Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority
on account of any Lender or the Swingline Bank or the Issuing Bank, pursuant to
Section 4.5, then such Lender or the Swingline Bank or the Issuing Bank shall
use reasonable efforts (which shall not require such Lender or the Swingline
Bank 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 the Parent 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 4.2 or enable it to withdraw its notice pursuant to
Section 4.3 or would reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.5, as the case
may be, in the future. The Parent hereby agrees to pay all reasonable and
documented costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or the Swingline Bank or
the Issuing Bank in connection with any such filing or assignment, delegation
and transfer.

          Section 4.7. Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender or the Swingline
Bank or the Issuing Bank requests compensation under Section 4.2, or if any
Lender or the Swingline Bank or the Issuing Bank delivers a notice described in
Section 4.3, or if a Borrower is required

                                       40

<PAGE>

to pay any additional amount to any Lender, the Swingline Bank, the Issuing Bank
or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or the Swingline
Bank or the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 4.5, or if any Lender defaults in
its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the Parent may, at its sole expense
and effort, upon notice to such Lender or the Swingline Bank or the Issuing
Bank, as the case may be, and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender or
the Swingline Bank or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to assign and
delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions
contained in Section 12.5, which restrictions shall apply, for purposes of this
Section, with reference to the Swingline Bank and the Issuing Bank, as well as
with reference to a Lender) all its interests, rights and obligations under this
Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may
be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) if
the assignee is not a Lender, the Parent shall have received the prior written
consent of the Administrative Agent (and the Swingline Bank and the Issuing
Bank), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and (ii) such Lender or
the Swingline Bank or the Issuing Bank shall have received payment of an amount
equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and unreimbursed L/C
Disbursements and funded participations in Swingline Loans, accrued interest
thereon and accrued fees and other amounts (including amounts under Sections
4.2, 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5) payable to it hereunder from the assignee or the
applicable Borrower, and (if the Issuing Bank is to be the assignor) the Issuing
Bank shall have received from the Parent cash collateral or other collateral
satisfactory to it, having a value not less than the aggregate undrawn face
amount of all Letters of Credit that are outstanding, as security for the
reimbursement obligation of the Parent in respect of such Letters of Credit; and
(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation
under Section 4.2 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.3 or
4.5, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or
payments. A Lender, the Swingline Bank or the Issuing Bank (as the case may be)
shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior
thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender, the Swingline Bank or the
Issuing Bank (as the case may be) or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the
Parent to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. The interests,
rights and obligations hereunder of a Lender that serves as either or both of
the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Bank hereunder shall include its interests,
rights and obligations in all such capacities.

          Section 4.8. Certain Additional Costs. (a) If and so long as any
Lender is required to comply with reserve assets, liquidity, cash margin or
other requirements of any monetary or other authority (including any such
requirement imposed by the European Central Bank or the European System of
Central Banks, but excluding requirements reflected in the Statutory Reserve
Rate) in respect of any of such Lender's Foreign Currency Loans, such Lender may
require the Borrower to which such Lender has made a Foreign Currency Loan to
pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on each of such Lender's
Foreign Currency Loans subject to such requirements, additional interest on such
Foreign Currency Loan at a rate per annum specified by such Lender to be the
cost to such Lender of complying with requirements in relation to such Foreign
Currency Loan. Any additional interest owed pursuant to this paragraph shall be
determined by the relevant Lender, which determination (if made on a reasonable
and nondiscriminatory basis) shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and
notified to the Parent (on behalf of the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower)
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent) at least five Business Days before
each date on which interest is payable for the relevant Foreign Currency Loan,
and such additional interest so notified by such Lender

                                       41

<PAGE>

shall be payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender on
each date on which interest is payable for such Foreign Currency Loan.

          (b) If the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining any Loan to
either Foreign Subsidiary Borrower is increased (or the amount of any sum
received or receivable by any Lender (or its applicable lending office) is
reduced) by an amount deemed in good faith by such Lender to be material, by
reason of the fact that the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower is
incorporated in, or conducts business in, a jurisdiction outside the United
States, such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall indemnify such Lender for such
increased cost or reduction. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount
or amounts necessary to indemnify such Lender as specified in this paragraph
shall be delivered to the Parent (on behalf of the applicable Foreign Subsidiary
Borrower) and shall (if made on a reasonable and nondiscriminatory basis) be
conclusive absent manifest error. The applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower
shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10
days after receipt thereof by the Parent.

                   ARTICLE 6. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

Each of the Borrowers hereby represents and warrants as follows (provided,
however, that such representations and warranties by each Foreign Subsidiary
Borrower shall be as to such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower and its Subsidiaries
only):

          Section 6.1. Incorporation, Good Standing and Due Qualification. Each
of the Parent and its Subsidiaries is duly incorporated or formed, validly
existing and (where such concept exists) in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, has the corporate, limited
liability company or other power and authority to own its

                                       44

<PAGE>

assets and to transact the business in which it is now engaged, and is duly
qualified as a foreign corporation, limited liability company or partnership and
in good standing under the laws of each other jurisdiction in which the failure
to be so qualified would have a material adverse effect on the business,
financial condition or operations of the Parent and its Subsidiaries taken as a
whole.

          Section 6.2. Corporate Power and Authority; No Conflicts. The
execution, delivery and performance by each of the Borrowers and each Guarantor
of the Facility Documents to which it is a party are within its corporate,
limited liability company or other power and authority and have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate, limited liability company or other action
and do not and will not: (a) require any consent or approval of its stockholders
or members; (b) contravene any of its organizational documents; (c) violate any
provision of, or require any filing, registration, consent or approval under,
any law, rule, regulation (including, without limitation, Regulation U), order,
writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award presently in effect
having applicability to the Parent or any Subsidiaries or Affiliates of the
Parent; (d) result in a breach of or constitute a default or require any consent
under any indenture or loan or credit agreement or any other agreement, lease or

imposition of any Lien upon or with respect to any of the properties now owned
or hereafter acquired by any Borrower or Guarantor; or (f) cause the Parent (or
any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Parent, as the case may be) to be in default
under any such law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree,
determination or award or any such indenture, agreement, lease or instrument.

          Section 6.3. Legally Enforceable Agreements. Each Facility Document to
which any Borrower or Guarantor is a party is a legal, valid and binding
obligation of such Borrower or Guarantor (as the case may be) enforceable
against such Borrower or Guarantor (as the case may be) in accordance with its
terms, except to the extent that such enforcement may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws
affecting creditors' rights generally and by general principles of equity
(regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).

          Section 6.4. Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings
pending or, to the knowledge of any Borrower, threatened, against or affecting
the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries before any court, governmental agency or
arbitrator, as to which there is a reasonable possibility of determination
adverse to the Parent or such Subsidiary and which (if determined adversely to
the Parent or such Subsidiary) would, in any one case or in the aggregate,
materially adversely affect the financial condition, operations or business of
the Parent and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole or the ability of any Borrower
or any Guarantor to perform its obligations under the Facility Documents to
which it is a party.

          Section 6.5. Financial Statements. The consolidated and consolidating
balance sheet of the Parent and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as at January 31,
2005, and the related consolidated income statement and statements of cash flows
and changes in stockholders' equity and the related consolidating income

then ended, and the accompanying footnotes, together with the accompanying
opinion of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent certified public accountants,
copies of which have been furnished or made available to each of the Lenders,
are complete and correct in

                                       45

<PAGE>

all material respects and fairly present the financial condition of the Parent
and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as at such date and the results of the
operations of the Parent and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for the period
covered by such statements, all in accordance with GAAP consistently applied.
There are no liabilities of the Parent or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries,
fixed or contingent, which are material in relation to the consolidated
financial condition of the Parent but are not reflected in the financial
statements or in the notes thereto, other than liabilities arising in the
ordinary course of business since January 31, 2005. No information, exhibit or
report furnished by any Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any of the
Lenders in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement, when read together
with the financial statements referred to in this Section, contained any
material misstatement of fact or omitted to state a material fact or any fact
necessary to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading.
Since January 31, 2005, there has been no material adverse change in the
condition (financial or otherwise), business or operations of the Parent and the
Consolidated Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

          Section 6.6. Ownership and Liens. Each of the Parent and its
Consolidated Subsidiaries has title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all of
its properties and assets, real and personal, including the properties and
assets, and leasehold interests reflected in the financial statements referred
to in Section 6.5 (other than any properties or assets disposed of in the
ordinary course of business, and other than properties and assets that are not
material to the Parent and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole and other than any
other sales that are permitted by this Agreement), and none of the properties
and assets owned by the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries and none of its
leasehold interests is subject to any Lien, except as disclosed in such
financial statements or as may be permitted hereunder.

          Section 6.7. Taxes. Each of the Parent and its Subsidiaries has filed
or has caused to be filed all tax returns (foreign, federal, state and local)
required to be filed and has paid all material taxes, assessments and
governmental charges and levies shown thereon to be due, including interest and
penalties, except for such taxes and other amounts as are being contested in
good faith by appropriate proceedings for which adequate reserves have been
established in accordance with GAAP and reflected on the consolidated balance
sheet of the Parent.

          Section 6.8. ERISA. (a) No accumulated funding deficiency (as defined
in Section 302 of ERISA and Section 412 of the Code), whether or not waived,
exists with respect to any Plan (other than a Multiemployer Plan). No liability
to the PBGC has been or is expected by the Parent or any ERISA Affiliate to be
incurred with respect to any Plan (other than a Multiemployer Plan) by the
Parent, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate which is or would be materially
adverse to the business, financial condition or operations of the Parent and its
Subsidiaries taken as a whole. Neither the Parent, nor any Subsidiary nor any
ERISA Affiliate has incurred or presently expects to incur any withdrawal
liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to any Multiemployer Plan which
is or would be materially adverse to the business, financial condition or
operations of the Parent and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

          (b) Neither the Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has breached the
fiduciary rules of ERISA or engaged in any prohibited transaction in connection
with which the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or ERISA Affiliates could be
subjected to (in the case of any such breach)

                                       46

<PAGE>

a suit for damages or (in the case of any such prohibited transactions) with a
civil penalty assessed under Section 502(i) of ERISA or a tax imposed by Section
4975 of the Code, which suit, penalty or tax, in any case, would be materially
adverse to the business, financial condition or operations of the Parent and its
Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

          (c) There has been no reportable event (within the meaning of Section
4043(b) of ERISA) or any other event or condition with respect to any Plan
(other than a Multiemployer Plan) which presents a risk of termination of any
such Plan by the PBGC under circumstances which in any case could result in
liability which would be materially adverse to the business, financial condition
or operations of the Parent and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

          (d) The present value of all vested accrued benefits under all Plans
(other than Multiemployer Plans), determined as of the end of the Parent's most
recently ended fiscal year on the basis of reasonable actuarial assumptions, did
not exceed the current value of the assets of such Plans allocable to such
vested accrued benefits by more than $20,000,000. The terms "present value",
"current value", and "accrued benefit" have the meanings specified in Section 3
of ERISA.

          (e) Neither the Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries is or has ever been
obligated to contribute to any Multiemployer Plan.

          Section 6.9. Subsidiaries and Ownership of Stock. Schedule III is a
complete and accurate list, as of the Closing Date, of the Subsidiaries of the
Parent, showing the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization of each
Subsidiary and showing the percentage of the Parent's ownership of the
outstanding stock or other interest of each such Subsidiary. All of the
outstanding capital stock or other interest of each such Subsidiary has been
validly issued, is fully paid and nonassessable and (to the extent owned by the
Parent or any other Subsidiary) is owned by the Parent or such other Subsidiary,
as the case may be, free and clear of all Liens.

          Section 6.10. Credit Arrangements. Schedule IV is a complete and
correct list, as of the Closing Date, of all credit agreements, indentures,
purchase agreements, guaranties, Capital Leases and other investments,
agreements and arrangements presently in effect providing for or relating to
extensions of credit (including agreements and arrangements for the issuance of
letters of credit or for acceptance financing or for credit lines extended for
the purchase of foreign-exchange contracts) in respect of which the Parent or
any of its Subsidiaries is in any manner directly or contingently obligated to
pay money (excluding trade payables in the ordinary course of business, and
excluding other extensions of credit that do not exceed $500,000 in the
aggregate of all such other extensions of credit), including all modifications
thereof and amendments thereto; and the maximum principal or face amounts of the
credit in question, outstanding and which can be outstanding, are correctly
stated, and all Liens (if any) of any nature given or agreed to be given as
security therefor are correctly described or indicated in such Schedule.

          Section 6.11. Operation of Business. Each of the Parent and its
Subsidiaries possesses all licenses, permits, franchises, patents, copyrights,
trademarks and trade names, or rights thereto, necessary in any material respect
to conduct the business substantially as now

                                       47

<PAGE>

conducted of the Parent and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, and neither the
Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any valid rights of others
with respect to any of the foregoing.

          Section 6.12. Hazardous Materials. The Parent and each of its
Subsidiaries have obtained all permits, licenses and other authorizations which
are required under all Environmental Laws, except to the extent failure to have
any such permit, license or authorization would not have a material adverse
effect on the consolidated financial condition, operations or business of the
Parent and its Consolidated Subsidiaries taken as a whole. The Parent and each
of its Subsidiaries are in compliance with the terms and conditions of all such
permits, licenses and authorizations, and are also in compliance with all other
limitations, restrictions, conditions, standards, prohibitions, requirements,
obligations schedules and timetables contained in any applicable Environmental
Law or in any regulation, code, plan, order, decree, judgment, injunction,

Protection Agency in the Comprehensive Environmental Response and Liability
Information System as provided by 40 C.F.R. Section 300.5 ("CERCLIS") or on any
similar state list or which is the subject of federal, state or local
enforcement actions or other investigations which are reasonably expected to

remedial work, damages to natural resources or for personal injury claims,
including, but not limited to, claims under CERCLA.

          (d) No Hazardous Material generated by the Parent or any of its

Parent's knowledge) no government actions have been taken or are in process
which could subject any of such properties to such Liens and neither the Parent
nor any of its Subsidiaries would be required to place any notice or restriction
relating to the presence of Hazardous Materials at any property owned by it in
any deed to such property.

          (g) There have been no environmental investigations, studies, audits,
test, reviews or other analyses conducted by or which are in the possession of
the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries in relation to any property or facility

                                       49

<PAGE>

Guarantor to carry out its obligations under the Facility Documents to which it
is a party. Neither the Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any
indenture, loan or credit agreement or any lease or other agreement or
instrument which is reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on the
ability of any Borrower or Guarantor to carry out its obligations under the
Facility Documents to which it is a party. The Parent is not in default in any
respect under any of the Prudential Existing Notes (or under either note
agreement pursuant to which they were issued) or under any outstanding Future
Permitted Private Placement Debt (or under any note or other agreement pursuant
to which such Debt shall have been issued). Neither the Parent nor any of its
Subsidiaries is in default in any material respect under any other agreement or
instrument to which the Parent or such Subsidiary is a party, except where any
such defaults in the aggregate would not result in a material adverse effect on
the business, financial condition or operations of the Parent and its

          Section 6.15. Labor Disputes and Acts of God. Neither the business nor
the properties of the Parent or of any of its Subsidiaries are affected by any

casualty (whether or not covered by insurance), materially and adversely
affecting the business, financial condition or operations of the Parent and its
Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

          Section 6.16. Governmental Regulation. Neither the Parent nor any of
its Subsidiaries is subject to regulation under the Public Utility Holding
Company Act of 1935, the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Interstate Commerce
Act, the Federal Power Act or any statute or regulation limiting its ability to
incur indebtedness for money borrowed or to obtain letters of credit as
contemplated hereby.

          Section 6.17. Partnerships. As of the Closing Date, neither the Parent
nor any of its Subsidiaries is a partner in any partnership.

          Section 6.18. No Forfeiture. No Forfeiture Proceeding is pending.

          Section 6.19. Solvency.

          (a) The present fair saleable value of the assets of each Borrower
after giving effect to all the transactions contemplated by the Facility
Documents and the funding of all Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder exceeds
the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the existing
debts and other liabilities (including contingent liabilities) of such Borrower
as they mature.

          (b) The property of each Borrower does not constitute unreasonably
small capital for such Borrower to carry out its business as now conducted and
as presently proposed to be conducted including the capital needs of such
Borrower.

          (c) No Borrower intends to, nor does any Borrower believe that it
will, incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking
into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by such Borrower, and
of amounts to be payable on or in respect of debt of such Borrower). The cash
available to each Borrower after taking into account all

                                       50

<PAGE>

other anticipated uses of the cash of such Borrower, is anticipated to be
sufficient to pay all such amounts on or in respect of debt of such Borrower
when such amounts are required to be paid.

          (d) No Borrower believes that final judgments against it in actions
for money damages will be rendered at a time when, or in an amount such that,
such Borrower will be unable to satisfy any such judgments promptly in
accordance with their terms (taking into account the maximum reasonable amount
of such judgments in any such actions and the earliest reasonable time at which
such judgments might be rendered). The cash available to each Borrower after
taking into account all other anticipated uses of the cash of such Borrower
(including the payments on or in respect of debt referred to in paragraph (c) of
this Section), is anticipated to be sufficient to pay all such judgments
promptly in accordance with their terms.

          Section 6.20. Certain Particular Assurances as to the Foreign
Subsidiary Borrowers. (a) This Agreement and each of the other Facility
Documents to which a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower is intended to be a party are
in proper legal form under the law of Switzerland for the enforcement thereof
against such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower under such law. All formalities
required in Switzerland for the validity and enforceability of this Agreement
and each of such other Facility Documents (including, without limitation, any
necessary registration, recording or filing with any court or other authority in
Switzerland) have been accomplished, and no Taxes are required to be paid to
Switzerland, or any political subdivision thereof or therein, and no
notarization is required, for the validity and enforceability hereof or thereof.

          (b) This Agreement and the other Facility Documents to which a Foreign
Subsidiary Borrower is intended to be a party and the obligations evidenced
hereby and thereby are and will at all times be direct and unconditional general
obligations of such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, and rank and will at all times
rank in right of payment and otherwise at least pari passu with all other
unsecured Debt of such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower whether now existing or
hereafter outstanding, except for such preferences as are provided by any
mandatory applicable provision of law. There exists no Lien (including any Lien
arising out of any attachment, judgment or execution), nor any segregation or
other preferential arrangement of any kind, on, in or with respect to any of the
property or revenues of any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, except as expressly permitted by Section 8.3.

          (c) Each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower is subject to civil and
commercial law with respect to its obligations under this Agreement and each of
the other Facility Documents to which it is intended to be a party. The
execution, delivery and performance by each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower of this
Agreement and each of such other Facility Documents constitute private and
commercial acts rather than public or governmental acts. No Foreign Subsidiary
Borrower, nor any of its properties or revenues, is entitled to any right of
immunity in any jurisdiction from suit, court jurisdiction, judgment, attachment
(whether before or after judgment), set-off or execution of a judgment or from
any other legal process or remedy relating to the obligations of such Foreign
Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement or any of such other Facility
Documents.

and remain qualified, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to qualify and remain
qualified, as a foreign corporation, limited liability company or other entity
in each jurisdiction in which the failure to be so qualified would have a
material adverse effect on (a) the business, financial condition or operations
of the Parent and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole; (b) the ability of any
Borrower or any Guarantor to perform any of its obligations under any Facility
Document; (c) the legality, validity or enforceability of any Facility Document;

of the Parent and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

          Section 7.4. Maintenance of Records. Keep, and cause each of its
Subsidiaries to keep, adequate records and books of account, in which complete

are usually carried by companies engaged in the same or a similar business and
similarly situated, which insurance may provide for reasonable deductibility
from coverage thereof.

          Section 7.6. Compliance with Laws; Payment of Taxes. (a) Comply, and
cause each of its Subsidiaries to comply, with all applicable laws (including
all Environmental Laws), rules, regulations and orders, the noncompliance with

<PAGE>

affect (i) the business, financial condition or operations of the Parent and its

to perform any of its obligations under any Facility Document, (iii) the

permits and approvals as may be required for such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower to
borrow and repay the Borrowings of such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower and to
comply with all the other obligations of such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower under
this Agreement and the other Facility Documents to which such Foreign Subsidiary
Borrower is a party; and

          (b) Pay or discharge, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay or
discharge, before the same become delinquent all taxes, assessments and
governmental charges imposed upon the Parent or any Subsidiary or any of their
respective properties; provided, however, that the Parent shall not be required
to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, any such tax, assessment
or governmental charge the applicability or validity of which is being contested
by the Parent or such Subsidiary in good faith by appropriate proceedings and
for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP.

          Section 7.7. Right of Inspection. At any reasonable time and from time
to time and upon reasonable prior notice, permit the Administrative Agent or any
Lender or any agent or representative thereof, to examine and make copies and

Parent is afforded an opportunity to be present during such discussions with
such accountants; provided that each such visit or discussion shall be at the
sole expense of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as applicable, unless a
Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time
thereof in which case the reasonable and documented expenses of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, as applicable, in connection thereof shall

     including, without limitation, the failure to make on or before its due

     the Parent or any ERISA Affiliate that results in liability under Section

          (vii) any event or circumstance exists which may reasonably be

the Guarantor thereunder, or such Guarantor shall deny it has any further
liability or obligation thereunder or shall fail to perform its obligations
thereunder.

          Section 10.2. Remedies. If any Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, the Administrative Agent may or, upon request of the Required
Lenders, shall by notice to the

                                       67

<PAGE>

Parent (on behalf of itself and the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers), do any or all
of the following: (a) declare the Revolving Credit Commitments to be terminated,
whereupon the same shall forthwith terminate; (b) declare the outstanding
principal of the Notes, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable under
this Agreement or the Notes to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the
Notes, all such interest and all such amounts shall become and be forthwith due
and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind,
all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Borrower (provided that, in the
case of an Event of Default referred to in Section 10.1(e) as to any Borrower,
the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be immediately terminated, and the Notes,
all interest thereon and all other amounts payable under this Agreement shall be
immediately due and payable without any notice and without presentment, demand,
protest or other formalities of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly
waived by each Borrower); and (c) direct the Parent immediately to pay (and the

collateral under Section 2.13, to be held by the Administrative Agent in the
Cash Collateral Account as security for the Parent's reimbursement obligation in
respect of Letters of Credit.

    ARTICLE 11. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT; RELATIONS AMONG LENDERS AND PARENT.

          Section 11.1. Appointment, Powers and Immunities of Administrative
Agent. Each Lender (in its capacity as Lender and, as applicable, Swingline Bank
and Issuing Bank) hereby irrevocably (but subject to removal by the Required
Lenders pursuant to Section 11.9) appoints and authorizes the Administrative
Agent to act as its agent hereunder and under any other Facility Document with
such powers as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the
terms of this Agreement and any other Facility Document, together with such
other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent
shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in
this Agreement and any other Facility Document, and shall not by reason of this
Agreement be a trustee for any Lender. The Administrative Agent shall not be
responsible to the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or
warranties made by any Borrower or any officer or official of any Borrower or
any other Person contained in this Agreement or any other Facility Document, or
in any certificate or other document or instrument referred to or provided for
in, or received by any of them under, this Agreement or any other Facility
Document, or for the value, legality, validity, effectiveness, genuineness,
enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Facility Document
or any other document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or
therein, for the perfection or priority of any collateral security for the Loans
or the reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit or for any
failure by any Borrower or any Guarantor to perform any of its obligations
hereunder or under any other Facility Document. The Administrative Agent may
employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible, except as to
money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the negligence
or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with
reasonable care. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors,
officers, employees or agents shall be liable or responsible for any action
taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any

                                       68

<PAGE>

other Facility Document or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its
or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

          Section 11.2. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative
Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other
communication (including any thereof by telephone, telex, telegram or cable)
believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or
on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of
legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat each Lender as
the holder of the Loans made by it and its participations in Letters of Credit
for all purposes hereof unless and until an Assignment and Assumption Agreement
shall have been furnished to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section
12.5, but the Administrative Agent shall not be required to deal with any Person
who has acquired a participation in any Loan or any such participation from a
Lender. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any
other Facility Document, the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully
protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder in accordance with
instructions signed by the Required Lenders, and such instructions of the
Required Lenders and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall
be binding on all of the Lenders and any other holder of all or any portion of
any Loan or any such participation.

          Section 11.3. Defaults. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed
to have knowledge of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default (other than
the non-payment of principal of or interest on the Loans to the extent the same
is required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Lenders) unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or a
Borrower specifying such Default or Event of Default and stating that such
notice is a "Notice of Default." In the event that the Administrative Agent
receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, the
Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders (and shall
give each Lender prompt notice of each such non-payment). The Administrative
Agent shall (subject to Section 11.8 and Section 12.1(a)) take such action with
respect to such Default or Event of Default which is continuing as shall be
directed by the Required Lenders; provided that, unless and until the
Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative
Agent may take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to
such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest
of the Lenders; and provided further that the Administrative Agent shall not be
required to take any such action which it determines to be contrary to law.

          Section 11.4. Rights of Administrative Agent as a Lender. With respect
to its Revolving Credit Commitment and the Loans made by it and the Letters of
Credit, the entity which is the Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Lender
hereunder shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender
and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as the Administrative
Agent, and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless the context otherwise
indicates, include the entity which is the Administrative Agent in its capacity
as a Lender. The entity which is the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may
(without having to account therefor to any Lender) accept deposits from, lend
money to (on a secured or unsecured basis), and generally engage in any kind of
banking, trust or other business with, the Parent (and any of its Affiliates) as
if it were not acting as the Administrative Agent, and the entity which is the
Administrative Agent may accept fees and other consideration from any

                                       69

<PAGE>

Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without
having to account for the same to the Lenders. Although the Administrative Agent
and its Affiliates may in the course of such relationships and relationships
with other Persons acquire information about the Parent, its Affiliates and such
other Persons, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to disclose such
information to the Lenders.

          Section 11.5. Indemnification of Administrative Agent. The Lenders
agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed under
Section 12.3 or under the applicable provisions of any other Facility Document,
but without limiting the obligations of the Borrowers under Section 12.3 or such
provisions), ratably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentages,
for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature
whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the
Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement,
any other Facility Document or any other documents contemplated by or referred
to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including, without
limitation, the costs and expenses which any Borrower is obligated to pay under
Section 12.3 or under the applicable provisions of any other Facility Document
but excluding, unless a Default or Event of Default has occurred, normal
administrative costs and expenses incident to the performance of its agency
duties hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of
any such other documents or instruments; provided that no Lender shall be liable
for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified.

          Section 11.6. Documents. The Administrative Agent will forward to each
Lender, promptly after the Administrative Agent's receipt thereof, a copy of
each report, notice or other document required by this Agreement or any other
Facility Document to be delivered to the Administrative Agent for such Lender.

          Section 11.7. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.
Each Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the
Parent and its Subsidiaries and decision to enter into this Agreement and that
it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any
other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in
taking or not taking action under this Agreement or any other Facility Document.
The Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the
performance or observance by any Borrower of this Agreement or any other
Facility Document or any other document referred to or provided for herein or
therein or to inspect the properties or books of the Parent or any Subsidiary.
Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly
required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder,
the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide
any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the affairs,
financial condition or business of the Parent or any Subsidiary (or any of their
Affiliates) which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or
any of its Affiliates. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to file
this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any document or instrument
referred to herein or therein, for record or give notice of this

                                       70

<PAGE>

Agreement, any other Facility Document or any document or instrument referred to
herein or therein, to anyone.

          Section 11.8. Failure of Administrative Agent to Act. Except for
action expressly required of the Administrative Agent hereunder, the
Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or
refusing to act hereunder unless it shall have received further assurances
(which may include cash collateral) of the indemnification obligations of the
Lenders under Section 11.5 in respect of any and all liability and expense which
may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

          Section 11.9. Resignation of Administrative Agent. Subject to the
appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided
below, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice
thereof to the Lenders and the Parent (on behalf of itself and the Foreign
Subsidiary Borrowers). Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall
have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, subject (unless an
Event of Default exists) to the approval of the Parent, which approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been
so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment
within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent's giving of notice of
resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the
Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, subject (unless an Event of
Default exists) to the approval of the Parent, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, which shall be a Lender or (if no Lender accepts the
appointment) a bank which has an office in New York, New York and London and has
a combined capital and surplus of at least $1,000,000,000. The Required Lenders
or the retiring Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall upon the
appointment of a successor Administrative Agent promptly so notify the Parent
(on behalf of itself and the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers) and the other
Lenders. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent
hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative
Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
hereunder. After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder as
Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 11 shall continue in effect
for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it
while it was acting as the Administrative Agent.

          Section 11.10. Amendments Concerning Agency Function. The
Administrative Agent shall not be bound by any waiver, amendment, supplement or
modification of this Agreement or any other Facility Document which affects its
duties hereunder or thereunder unless it shall have given its prior consent
thereto.

          Section 11.11. Liability of Administrative Agent. The Administrative
Agent shall not have any liabilities or responsibilities to any Borrower on
account of the failure of any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder or to
any Lender on account of the failure of any Borrower or any Guarantor to perform
its obligations hereunder or under any other Facility Document.

          Section 11.12. Delegation of Agency Functions. The Administrative
Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise any or all of its rights
and powers by or through any

                                       71

<PAGE>

one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative
Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise any
and all of its rights and powers through their respective Affiliates. The
exculpatory provisions as to the Administrative Agent contained in this Article
shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of the Administrative
Agent and any such sub-agent.

          Section 11.13. Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent.
Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Lender or a
Borrower (either one as appropriate being the "Payor") (or by the Parent on
behalf of a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower) prior to the date on which such Lender
is to make payment hereunder to the Administrative Agent of the proceeds of a
Loan or such Borrower is to make payment to the Administrative Agent, as the
case may be (either such payment being a "Required Payment"), which notice shall
be effective upon receipt, that the Payor does not intend to make the Required
Payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that
the Required Payment has been made and may, in reliance upon such assumption
(but shall not be required to), make the amount thereof available to the
intended recipient on such date and, if the Payor has not in fact made the
Required Payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment
(and, if such recipient is a Borrower and the Payor Lender fails to pay the
amount thereof to the Administrative Agent forthwith upon demand, such Borrower)
shall, on demand, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount made available to
it together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was
so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative
Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of a
Borrower, the interest rate applicable at such time to the applicable Loan, and
(ii) in the case of such Lender, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent
to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds in the relevant currency
(which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error). If a Lender
makes a Required Payment to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the immediately
preceding sentence and a Borrower shall have repaid such amount to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to such sentence, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly return to such Borrower any amount (including interest) paid by such
Borrower to the Administrative Agent pursuant to such sentence.

          Section 11.14. Withholding Taxes. Each Lender represents to the
Administrative Agent and the Parent that it is entitled to receive any payments
to be made to it hereunder without the withholding of any tax imposed by the
United States of America and will furnish to the Administrative Agent such
forms, certifications, statements and other documents as the Administrative
Agent may reasonably request from time to time to evidence such Lender's
exemption from the withholding of any tax imposed by any jurisdiction or to
enable the Administrative Agent to comply with any applicable laws or
regulations relating thereto. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, if
any Lender is not created or organized under the laws of the United States of
America or any state thereof, in the event that the payment of interest by any
Borrower is treated for U.S. income tax purposes as derived in whole or in part
from sources from within the U.S., such Lender will furnish to the
Administrative Agent Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN of the Internal Revenue Service,
or such other forms, certifications, statements or documents, duly executed and
completed by such Lender as evidence of such Lender's exemption from the
withholding of U.S. tax with respect thereto. The Administrative Agent shall not
be obligated to make any payments hereunder to such Lender in respect of any
Loan or reimbursement of a drawing under a Letter of Credit or such Lender's
Revolving Credit

                                       72

<PAGE>

Commitment until such Lender shall have furnished to the Administrative Agent
the requested form, certification, statement or document.

          Section 11.15. Several Obligations and Rights of Lenders. The failure
of any Lender to make any Loan to be made by it on the date specified therefor
shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make its Loan on such
date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to
make a Loan to be made by such other Lender. No Lender shall be responsible for
any failure of the Swingline Bank to make a Swingline Loan required to be made
hereunder, or for any failure of the Issuing Bank to issue a Letter of Credit
required to be issued hereunder. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to
each Lender, the Swingline Bank and the Issuing Bank shall be a separate and
independent debt, and each of them shall be entitled to protect and enforce its
rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any
other of them to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such
purpose.

          Section 11.16. Pro Rata Treatment of Syndicated Loans, Etc. Except to
the extent otherwise expressly provided: (a) each Borrowing of Loans pursuant to
Section 2.1 shall be made from the Lenders, each reduction or termination of the
amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments under Section 2.10 shall be applied
to the Revolving Credit Commitments, and each payment of Commitment Fees
accruing under Section 2.7 shall be made for the account of the Lenders, pro
rata according to the amounts of their respective unused Revolving Credit
Commitments; (b) each conversion under Section 2.11 of Syndicated Loans of a
particular Type (but not conversions provided for by Article 4), shall be made
pro rata among the Lenders holding Syndicated Loans of such Type according to
the respective principal amounts of such Syndicated Loans by such Lenders; (c)
each prepayment and payment of principal of or interest on Syndicated Loans of a
particular Type and a particular Interest Period shall be made to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders holding Syndicated Loans of
such Type and Interest Period pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid
principal amounts of such Syndicated Loans of such Interest Period held by such
Lenders; and (d) each payment of L/C Participation Fees accruing under Section
3.9 shall be made for the account of the Lenders, pro rata according to their
respective Pro Rata Percentages of the average daily aggregate L/C Exposure
(excluding the portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed L/C Disbursements).

          Section 11.17. Sharing of Payments Among Lenders. If a Lender shall
obtain payment of any principal of or interest on any Syndicated Loan made by
it, or of any reimbursement obligation of the Parent as to Letters of Credit,
through the exercise of any right of setoff, banker's lien, counterclaim, or by
any other means it shall promptly purchase from the other Lenders participations
in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the
Loans made by the other Lenders and Letters of Credit in such amounts, and make
such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable to the end that
all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such payment (net of any expenses
which may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such benefit)
pro rata in accordance with the unpaid principal and interest on the Loans and
Letter of Credit participations held by each of them. To such end the Lenders
shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of
participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise
be restored. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation
(or direct interest) in the Loans made by other Lenders or Letters of Credit may
exercise all rights of setoff, banker's lien, counterclaim or

                                       73

<PAGE>

similar rights with respect to such participation (or direct interest). Nothing
contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall
affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of
exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness of any
Borrower.

          Section 11.18. Other Agents. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Sole Lead Arranger and Sole Bookrunner, the Syndication Agent and
the Documentation Agents named on the cover page of this Agreement shall not
have any duties or liabilities under this Agreement, except in their capacity,
if any, as Lenders.

                           ARTICLE 12. MISCELLANEOUS.

          Section 12.1. Amendments and Waivers; Remedies Cumulative. (a) Except
as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any provision of this
Agreement may be amended or modified only by an instrument in writing signed by
the Borrowers (or by the Parent, on behalf of itself and the Foreign Subsidiary
Borrowers), the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, or by the
Borrowers (or by the Parent, on behalf of itself and the Foreign Subsidiary
Borrowers), and the Administrative Agent acting with the consent of the Required
Lenders, and any provision of this Agreement may be waived by the Required
Lenders or by the Administrative Agent acting with the consent of the Required
Lenders; provided that no amendment, modification or waiver shall, unless by an
instrument signed by all of the Lenders or by the Administrative Agent acting
with the consent of all of the Lenders: (i) increase or extend the term, or
extend the time for the reduction or termination, of the Revolving Credit
Commitments (except that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Revolving Credit
Commitments may be increased pursuant to Section 2.16 without the approval or
consent of any Lender other than each relevant Increasing Lender or Augmenting
Lender referred to in Section 2.16), (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment
of principal of or interest on any Loan, the reimbursement obligation in respect
of any Letter of Credit or any interest thereon or any fees payable hereunder,
(iii) reduce the amount of any payment of principal thereof or the rate at which
interest is payable thereon or any fee payable hereunder, (iv) alter the terms
of this Section or any other provision hereof specifying that the approval of
all Lenders is required (including such provisions contained in Section
12.5(a)), (v) amend the definition of the term "Required Lenders", (vi) release
collateral (if any) in any material amount, (vii) release or limit guarantees in
any material amount (provided that the Administrative Agent shall release,
without the consent of any Lenders, any Guarantee of a Subsidiary all of whose
stock (or substantially all of whose stock) is sold to a Person other than
another Subsidiary in a sale that is otherwise permitted by this Agreement or is
otherwise disposed of in accordance with this Agreement), or (viii) the addition
of currencies in which Loans can be made; and provided, further, that (x) any
amendment of Article 11 or any amendment which increases the obligations of the
Administrative Agent hereunder shall require the consent of the Administrative
Agent; (y) any amendment which increases the obligations of the Swingline Bank
hereunder shall require the consent of the Swingline Bank; and (z) any amendment
which increases the obligations of the Issuing Bank hereunder shall require the
consent of the Issuing Bank.

          (b) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank,
the Swingline Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any such right or power, or any

                                       74

<PAGE>

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 Issuing
Bank, the Swingline Bank and the Lenders hereunder 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 consent to any departure by any Borrower
therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by
paragraph (a) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit shall not be
construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether
the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Swingline Bank or the Issuing Bank may
have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time.

          Section 12.2. Usury. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
the obligations of each Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes shall be
subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required to the
extent that receipt thereof would be contrary to provisions of law applicable to
a Lender limiting rates of interest which may be charged or collected by such
Lender.

          Section 12.3. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Parent and
(subject to the limitation contained in the sentence next following) each
Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, including the
reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the
Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit facility
provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement or any
amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (whether or not
the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all
reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in
connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of
Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all reasonable and
documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank, the Swingline Bank or any Lender, including the reasonable and
documented fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Bank or any Lender, in connection with
the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement,
including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or
Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or
negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit. The liability of
each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower under this paragraph (a) shall be limited to
such out-of-pocket expenses that (x) relate to such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower
or to the Loans made to such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower or to the obligations
incurred by such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement or under any
other Facility Document to which such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower is a party, or
(y) arise as a result of such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower being a party to this
Agreement or to another Facility Document.

          (b) The Parent and (subject to the limitation contained in the
sentence next following) each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Bank and each Lender, and
each Related Party of any of the

                                       75

<PAGE>

foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an "Indemnitee") against, and
hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable and documented fees,
charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or
asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a
result of (i) the use of proceeds of a Loan or Letter of Credit, (ii) any
refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of
Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly
comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged
presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or
operated by the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or any environmental
liability related in any way to the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv)
any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding
relating to any of the foregoing or to the execution or delivery of this
Agreement or any other Facility Document or any agreement or instrument
contemplated hereby or thereby or to the performance by the parties hereto or
thereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or to the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or to any Loan
or Letter of Credit, whether the same is based on contract, tort or any other
theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; 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. The liability of each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower under this
paragraph (b) shall be limited to such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
related expenses that (x) relate to such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower or to the
Loans made to such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower or to the obligations incurred by
such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement or under any other
Facility Document to which such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower is a party, or (y)
arise as a result of such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower being a party to this
Agreement or to another Facility Document.

          (c) To the extent that the Borrowers fail to pay any amount required
to be paid to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Bank
under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay
to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Bank, as the case
may be, such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage (determined 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 Issuing Bank or the Swingline
Bank in its capacity as such.

          (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Borrower shall
assert, and each Borrower 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, any other Facility Document or any
agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of
Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

          Section 12.4. Survival. The obligations of the Borrowers under Article
4 and Section 12.3 shall survive the repayment of the Loans and the expiration
of the Letters of Credit and the termination of the Revolving Credit
Commitments.

          Section 12.5. Assignment; Participations. (a) This Agreement shall be
binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the Borrowers, the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Swingline Bank, the Issuing Bank and
their respective successors and assigns, except that no Borrower may assign or
transfer its rights or obligations hereunder without the written approval of all
the Lenders (and any attempted such assignment or transfer without such consent
shall be null and void).

          (b) Each Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion
of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion
of its Revolving Credit Commitment and the Syndicated Loans owing to it and its
participations in Letters of Credit and in Swingline Loans), with the prior
written consent (such consent not to unreasonably withheld) of (i) the
Administrative Agent, the Swingline Bank and the Issuing Bank and (ii) the
Parent; provided that (x) no such consent of the Parent shall be required for an
assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or if any
Event of Default exists as a result of the commencement of a case with respect
to the Parent under the U.S. Federal Bankruptcy Code or as a result of the
commencement of a bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership or
similar proceeding with respect to either Foreign Subsidiary Borrower under
Swiss or other foreign law, to any other assignee and (y) the provisions of
paragraph (g) below shall have been complied with.

          Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

          (A) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying,
percentage of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement
and the assignment shall cover the same percentage of such Lender's Revolving
Credit Commitment and Syndicated Loans and participations in Letters of Credit
and in Swingline Loans;

          (B) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of
a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning
Lender's Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of
the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined
as of the effective date of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement with respect
to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $5,000,000 and shall be an
integral multiple of $1,000,000, unless the Administrative Agent and the Parent
otherwise consent (provided that no such consent of the Parent shall be required
if any Event of Default exists as a result of the commencement of a case with
respect to the Parent under the U.S. Federal Bankruptcy Code or as a result of
the commencement of a bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership or
similar proceeding with respect to either Foreign Subsidiary Borrower under
Swiss or other foreign law);

          (C) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to
the Administrative Agent, for its approval and acceptance, an Assignment and
Assumption Agreement;

          (D) the Administrative Agent shall receive from the assignor (or, in
the case of an assignment pursuant to Section 4.7, from the Parent) a processing
fee of $3,500; and

                                       77

<PAGE>

          (E) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

          Upon such execution, delivery, approval and acceptance, and on the
effective date specified in the applicable Assignment and Assumption Agreement,
(a) the assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto and a "Lender" for
purposes hereof and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have
been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, shall
have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (b) the
Lender-assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations
hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption
Agreement, relinquish its rights (except under Article 4 and Section 12.3 in
respect of the period prior to the effective date of such Assignment and
Assumption) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement.

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

          (d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain a copy of each Assignment
and Assumption Agreement delivered to and accepted by it and shall record the
names and addresses of each Lender and the Revolving Credit Commitment of, and
principal amount of the Syndicated Loans owing to, and the amount of
participations in Letters of Credit and in Swingline Loans of, such Lender from
time to time. Each Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat
each Person whose name is so recorded as a Lender hereunder for all

                                       78

<PAGE>

purposes of this Agreement, absent manifest error. Such record shall be
available for inspection by each Borrower and each Lender.

          (e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement
executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee and (to the extent required by
this Section) consented to by the Parent, the Swingline Bank and the Issuing
Bank and the assignee's completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the
assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the Administrative Agent shall,
if such Assignment and Assumption Agreement has been properly completed, (i)
accept such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, (ii) record the information
contained therein and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Parent (on behalf
of itself and the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers) and the Lenders. Upon request,
each Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent appropriate
promissory notes in favor of each assignee evidencing such assignee's Pro Rata
Percentage of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment. If the Lender-assignor
shall have assigned its entire Revolving Credit Commitment and Syndicated Loans,
the original promissory notes evidencing such Revolving Credit Commitment and
Syndicated Loans shall be cancelled and returned to the Parent (on behalf of
itself or the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower).

          (f) Subject to paragraph (g) of this Section, each Lender may sell
participations to one or more banks, finance companies, insurance or other
financial institutions in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement (including without limitation all or a portion of its
Revolving Credit Commitment and the Syndicated Loans owing to it); provided,
however, that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement (including
without limitation its Revolving Credit Commitment and its participations in
Letters of Credit) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations,
(iii) such participant shall have no rights under any of the Facility Documents,
(iv) each Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and with regard to any and
all payments to be made under this Agreement and its Notes, and (v) the
agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant shall not give the
participant the right to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action
hereunder except action directly relating to (i) the extension of a payment date
with respect to any portion of the principal of or interest on any amount
outstanding hereunder allocated to such participant, (ii) the reduction of the
principal amount outstanding hereunder allocated to such participant or (iii)
the reduction of the rate of interest payable on such amount or any amount of
fees payable hereunder to a rate or amount, as the case may be, below that which
the participant is entitled to receive under its agreement with such Lender.

          (g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, without the prior
written consent of the Parent, no Lender shall effect any assignment of all or a
portion of, or any sale of a participation in or entry into any
sub-participation agreement (each a "transfer") with respect to, any Syndicated
Loan made to any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower if such transfer would result in
more than five Lenders which are not Qualifying Banks. Each Lender further
agrees that if in connection with any transfer by such Lender the proposed
transferee is not a Qualifying Bank, such Lender shall give at least ten days'
prior notice of such proposed transfer to the Parent and the Administrative
Agent (which shall promptly notify each of the other Lenders). Any such

                                       79

<PAGE>

purported assignment, participation or sub-participation that does not comply
with the requirements of this paragraph (including the requirement for notice
pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence) shall be null and void.

          (h) Each Borrower will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the
Administrative Agent and Lenders in connection with the assignment of interests
under this Agreement or the sale of participations herein.

          (i) No Lender shall be permitted to assign or sell all or any portion
of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to the Parent or any
Affiliate of the Parent.

          (j) Any Lender that proposes to sell any assignment or participation
hereunder may furnish any information concerning the Parent and its Affiliates
in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and participants
(including prospective assignees and participants); provided that such Lender
shall require any such prospective assignee or such participant (prospective or
otherwise) to agree in writing to maintain the confidentiality of such
information, as provided in Section 12.14.

          (k) In addition to the assignments and participations permitted under
the foregoing provisions of this Section, any Lender may at any time pledge or
grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this
Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any
pledge or grant to secure obligations of such Lender to a Federal Reserve Bank,
and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or grant of a security
interest; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall
release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such
pledgee or grantee for such Lender as a party hereto.

          Section 12.6. Notices. (a) Except in the case of notices and other
communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone (and subject to
paragraph (b) below), all notices and other communications provided for herein
shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service,
mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by telecopy, (i) in the case of
any Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Bank and the Issuing Bank,
to it at its address set forth beneath its signature line below and (ii) in the
case of any Lender, to it at its address (or telecopy number) set forth in its
Administrative Questionnaire.

          (b) Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be
delivered or furnished by electronic communications pursuant to procedures
approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not
apply to notices pursuant to Article 2 unless otherwise agreed by the
Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. The Administrative Agent or any
Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other
communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to
procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be
limited to particular notices or communications.

          (c) Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for
notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties
hereto. All notices and other

                                       80

<PAGE>

communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt.

          Section 12.7. Setoff. Each Borrower agrees that, in addition to (and
without limitation of) any right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim a
Lender may otherwise have, each Lender (and any Affiliate thereof through which
any Loan is made) shall be entitled, at its option, to offset balances (general
or special, time or demand, provisional or final) held by it for the account of
such Borrower at any of such Lender's offices, in dollars or in any other
currency, against any amount payable by such Borrower to such Lender under this
Agreement or such Lender's Note which is not paid when due (regardless of
whether such balances are then due to such Borrower), in which case it shall
promptly notify such Borrower (or the Parent, on behalf of a Foreign Subsidiary
Borrower) and the Administrative Agent thereof; provided that such Lender's
failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity thereof or place such
Lender under any liability to such Borrower. Payments by each Borrower hereunder
shall be made without setoff or counterclaim.

          Section 12.8. JURISDICTION; JURY WAIVER; IMMUNITIES. (A) EACH BORROWER
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY NEW YORK STATE OR UNITED
STATES FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY OVER ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE NOTES OR ANY OTHER FACILITY
DOCUMENT OR ANY LETTER OF CREDIT, AND EACH BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES
THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND
DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE OR FEDERAL COURT. EACH BORROWER IRREVOCABLY
CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING
BY THE MAILING OF COPIES OF SUCH PROCESS TO SUCH BORROWER AT THE ADDRESS FOR IT
SPECIFIED IN SECTION 12.6. EACH BORROWER 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.
EACH BORROWER FURTHER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO VENUE IN SUCH STATE AND ANY
OBJECTION TO AN ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH STATE ON THE BASIS OF FORUM NON
CONVENIENS. EACH BORROWER FURTHER AGREES THAT ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT
AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN NEW YORK STATE OR
UNITED STATES FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY.

          (b) Furthermore, each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower hereby agrees that
service of all writs, process and summonses in any such action or proceeding
brought in the State of New York may be made upon Corporation Service Company,
presently located at 80 State Street, 6th Floor, Albany, New York 12207 U.S.A.
(the "Process Agent") and each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower hereby confirms and
agrees that the Process Agent has been duly and irrevocably appointed as its
agent and true and lawful attorney-in-fact in its name, place and stead to
accept such service of any and all such writs, process and summonses, and agrees
that the failure of the Process Agent to give any notice of any such service of
process to such Foreign

                                       81

<PAGE>

Subsidiary Borrower (or to any other Person) shall not impair or affect the
validity of such service or of any judgment based thereon.

          (C) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED
BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL
PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT
OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY
OTHER THEORY). 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 BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS
AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS PARAGRAPH.

          (d) Nothing in this Section shall affect the right of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender to serve legal process in any other manner
permitted by law or affect the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender
to bring any action or proceeding against any Borrower or its property in the
courts of any other jurisdictions.

          (e) To the extent that any Borrower has or hereafter may acquire any
immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether from
service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution,
execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, such Borrower
hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under this
Agreement and its Notes.

          Section 12.9. Table of Contents; Headings. Any table of contents and
the headings and captions hereunder are for convenience only and shall not
affect the interpretation or construction of this Agreement.

          Section 12.10. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are
intended to be severable. If for any reason any provision of this Agreement
shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction,
such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such invalidity or unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity
or enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions
hereof in any jurisdiction.

          Section 12.11. Authorization of Parent. Each Foreign Subsidiary
Borrower hereby authorizes the Parent to give on behalf of such Foreign
Subsidiary Borrower all notices, consents and other communications that may be
given by such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower under or in connection with this
Agreement or any other Facility Document, and to receive on behalf of such
Foreign Subsidiary Borrower all notices, consents and other communications that
may be given to such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower under or in connection with
this Agreement or any other Facility Document (in each case, irrespective of
whether or not such notice, consent or other communication is expressly provided
elsewhere in this Agreement to be given or

                                       82

<PAGE>

received by the Parent on behalf of such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower). Such
notices, consents and other communications may include Borrowing Requests,
notices as to continuations, conversions and prepayments of Loans, notices and
demands in connection with Events of Default, and notices and demands in
connection with the exercise by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of
remedies. Such notices, consents and other communications may be given by or to
the Parent in its own name or in the name of such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower.
The authority given by each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower in this Section is
coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until all the Revolving Credit
Commitments of the Lenders have expired or been terminated and all the
obligations of such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement and the
other Facility Documents have been paid in full.

          Section 12.12. Integration. The Facility Documents set forth the
entire agreement among the parties hereto relating to the transactions
contemplated thereby and supersede any prior oral or written statements or
agreements with respect to such transactions.

          Section 12.13. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
INTERPRETED AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

          Section 12.14. Confidentiality. (a) Each Lender (in its capacity as
Lender and, as applicable, as Swingline Bank and Issuing Bank) and the
Administrative Agent agrees (on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates,
directors, officers, employees and representatives) to use reasonable
precautions to keep confidential, in accordance with safe and sound banking
practices, any non-public information supplied to it by any Borrower pursuant to
this Agreement which is identified by such Borrower (or by the Parent on behalf
of the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower) as being confidential at the time
the same is delivered to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, provided that
nothing herein shall limit the disclosure of any such information (a) to its
Affiliates or any of its or such Affiliates' directors, officers, 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, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by
any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement,
(e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit,
action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights
hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the
same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or participant in, or any
prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations
under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its
advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any Borrower and its
obligations, (g) with the consent of the Parent or (h) to the extent such
Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of
this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Bank, the Swingline Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source
other than the Borrowers; provided further that in no event shall the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Bank or any Lender be
obligated or required to return any materials furnished by any Borrower.

                                       83
<PAGE>

          (b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each
Lender (in its capacity as Lender and, as applicable, as Swingline Bank and
Issuing Bank) and the Administrative Agent (and such Lender's or Administrative
Agent's employees, representatives or other agents, as the case may be) may
disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax
treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) related
to such tax treatment and tax structure, except that (i) this sentence shall not
apply to the extent that nondisclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with
the securities laws, and (ii) this sentence shall not permit any Person to
reveal the identity of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries.

          Section 12.15. Treatment of Certain Information. Each Borrower (a)
acknowledges that services may be offered or provided to it (in connection with
this Agreement or otherwise) by each Lender or by one or more of their
respective subsidiaries or Affiliates and (b) acknowledges that information
delivered to each Lender by any Borrower (or by the Parent on behalf of a
Foreign Subsidiary Borrower) may be provided to each such subsidiary and
Affiliate.

          Section 12.16. Judgment Currency. (a) The obligations hereunder of any
Borrower to make payments in dollars or in a particular Foreign Currency, as the
case may be (the "Obligation Currency"), shall not be discharged or satisfied by
any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into
any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such
tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Administrative Agent,
the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Bank or a Lender of the full amount of the
Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank, the Swingline Bank or such Lender under this Agreement or the
other Facility Documents. If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment
against any Borrower or any Guarantor in any court or in any jurisdiction, it
becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation
Currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the "Judgment
Currency") an amount due in the Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be
made, at the Dollar Equivalent or the Foreign Currency Equivalent (as the case
may be) of such amount, in each case, as of the date immediately preceding the
day on which the judgment is given (such Business Day being hereinafter referred
to as the "Judgment Currency Conversion Date") using the current Exchange Rate
as of the Judgment Currency Conversion Date.

          (b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between
the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the
amount due, the applicable Borrower, as the case may be, covenants and agrees to
pay, or cause to be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not
a lesser amount), as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the
Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date
of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have
been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment
or judicial award at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency
Conversion Date.

          (c) For purposes of determining the Dollar Equivalent, or the Foreign
Currency Equivalent (as the case may be), such amounts shall include any premium
and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency.

Re:  The Credit Agreement dated as of the date hereof (which, as the same may

     Lenders party thereto, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative
     Agent, and as Swingline Bank and as Issuing Bank. Capitalized terms used
     herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          In connection with the captioned Credit Agreement, the Borrowers
hereby designate any one of the following persons to give to you instructions,
including notices required pursuant to the Agreement, orally or by telephone or
teleprocess or email:

          NAME

          Rick J. Cote
          Eugene Karpovich
          Frank Kimick
          Timothy Michno
          Ernest Laporte
          Joseph Bosch

          Instructions may be honored on the oral, telephonic, teleprocess or
email instructions of anyone purporting to be any one of the above designated
persons. The Parent will furnish you with confirmation of each such instruction
either by telex (whether tested or untested) or in writing signed by any person
designated above (including any telecopy which appears to bear the signature of
any person designated above) on the same day that the instruction is provided to
you but your responsibility with respect to any instruction shall not be
affected by your failure to receive such confirmation or by its contents.
Transactions that are the subject of such instructions are to be processed (a)
for the Parent, through Movado Group, Inc., ABA No.: 021000021, Acct No.:
0381130798, at the Administrative Agent; (b) for MWC, through Movado Watch
Company SA at UBS SA, Swift Code: UBSWCHZH30A, IBAN: CH63 0023 5235 5322 76392,
Account No.: 235-53227639.2; (c) for Luxury, through MGI Luxury Group S.A. at
UBS SA, Swift Code: UBSWCHZH30A, IBAN: CH10 0023 5235 5051 01341, Account No.:
235-50510134.1; or (d) in the case of any Borrower, such other account as may be
mutually agreed to by you and the Parent (the Parent's agreement as to such
other account to be evidenced by a writing signed by two of the above-designated
persons).

<PAGE>

          You shall be fully protected in, and shall incur no liability to any
of the Borrowers for, acting upon any instructions which you in good faith
believe to have been given by any person designated above, and in no event shall
you be liable for special, consequential or punitive damages. In addition, the
Borrowers agree to hold you and your agents harmless from any and all liability,
loss and expense arising directly or indirectly out of instructions that any
Borrower (or the Parent on behalf of any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower) provides
to you in connection with the Credit Agreement except for liability, loss or
expense occasioned by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of you or your
agents.

          Upon notice to the Parent, you may, at your option, refuse to execute
any instruction, or part thereof, without incurring any responsibility for any
loss, liability or expense arising out of such refusal if you in good faith
believe that the person delivering the instruction is not one of the persons
designated above or if the instruction is not accompanied by an authentication
method that the Parent agreed to in writing.

          The Parent will promptly notify you in writing of any change in the
persons designated above and, until you have actually received such written
notice and have had a reasonable opportunity to act upon it, you are authorized
to act upon instructions, even though the person delivering them may no longer
be authorized.

                                        Very truly yours,

                                        MOVADO GROUP, INC.

                  (Form of Opinion of Timothy F. Michno, Esq.)

                                        December 15, 2005

To each of the Lenders party to the Credit Agreement
referred to below and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as
Administrative Agent, Swingline Bank, and Issuing Bank

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          I have acted as counsel to Movado Group, Inc., a New York corporation
(the "Parent Borrower"), in connection with that certain Credit Agreement (the
"Credit Agreement") dated as of the date hereof among the Parent Borrower, MGI
Luxury Group S.A., a corporation organized under the laws of Switzerland
("MGI"), Movado Watch Company SA, a corporation organized under the laws of
Switzerland (together with MGI, the "Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers" and, together
with MGI and the Parent Borrower, the "Borrowers"), the Lenders signatory
thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Administrative Agent, as Swingline Bank
and as Issuing Bank (the "Agent Bank"). I have also acted as counsel to Movado
Retail Group, Inc., a New Jersey corporation ("Movado Retail"), and Movado LLC,
a Delaware limited liability company ("Movado LLC" and, together with Movado
Retail, the "Initial Guarantors" and, together with Movado Retail and the Parent
Borrower, the "US Entities"), in connection with the Subsidiary Guarantee[s] by
[each of] the Initial Guarantors in favor of the Lenders and the Agent Bank.
Except as otherwise defined herein, all terms used herein and defined in the
Credit Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them therein.

          In connection with this opinion, I have examined executed copies of
the Facility Documents and such other documents, records, agreements and
certificates as I have deemed appropriate. I have also reviewed such matters of
law as I have considered relevant for the purpose of this opinion.

          Based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:

          1. Each of the Parent Borrower and Movado Retail is a corporation duly
incorporated, validity existing and in good standing under the laws of the State
of New York (in the case of the Parent Borrower) or New Jersey (in the case of
Movado Retail); and each of them has the corporate power and authority to own
its assets and to transact the business in which it is now engaged and is duly
qualified as a foreign corporation and in good standing under the laws of each
other jurisdiction in which the failure to be so qualified would have a material
adverse effect on the business, financial condition or operations of the Parent
Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

<PAGE>

          2. Movado LLC is a limited liability company duly formed, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware; and it
has the limited liability company power and authority to own its assets and to
transact the business in which it is now engaged and is duly qualified as a
foreign limited liability company and in good standing under the laws of each
other jurisdiction in which the failure to be so qualified would have a material
adverse effect on the business, financial condition or operations of the Parent
Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

          3. Each Facility Document has been duly executed and delivered by each
US Entity which is a party to it. Each Facility Document constitutes a legal,
valid and binding obligation of each US Entity which is a party to it,
enforceable against that US Entity in accordance with its terms.

          4. The execution, delivery and performance by each US Entity (and in
the case of clauses (d), (e) and (f) below, each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower) of
the Facility Documents to which it is a party are within its power and authority
and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or limited liability
company action, as applicable, and do not: (a) require any consent or approval
of its stockholders; (b) contravene its charter, by-laws or limited liability
company agreement, as applicable; (c) violate any provision of, or require any
filing, registration, consent or approval under, any law (other than the law of
the State of New York and Federal law of the United States), rule, regulation
(including without limitation Regulation U), order, writ, judgment, injunction,
decree, determination or award presently in effect having applicability to any
US Entity; (d) result in a breach of or constitute a default or require any
consent under any indenture or loan or credit agreement or any other agreement,
lease or instrument to which such Borrower or such Initial Guarantor is a party
or by which it or its properties may be bound or affected; (e) result in, or
require, the creation or imposition of any Lien upon or with respect to any of
the properties now owned or hereafter acquired by such Borrower or such Initial
Guarantor; or (f) cause the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary to be in default
under any such law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree,
determination or award or any such indenture, agreement, lease or instrument.

          5. To the best of my knowledge (after due inquiry), there are no
pending or threatened actions, suits or proceedings against or affecting the
Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries before any court, governmental agency
or arbitrator, which would, in any one case or in the aggregate, materially
adversely affect the financial condition, operations, properties or business of
the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole or the ability of any
US Entity to perform its obligations under the Facility Documents to which is a
party.

          The opinions expressed herein are solely for your benefit in
connection with the transactions referred to in the Credit Agreement and may not
be circulated to, or relied upon by, any other Person, except that it may be
circulated to any prospective Lender in accordance with the Credit Agreement and
may be relied upon by any Person who, in the future, becomes a Lender; provided
that each Lender may provide this opinion (i) to bank examiners and other
regulatory authorities should they so request or in connection with their normal
examination, (ii) to its professional advisers, (iii) pursuant to an order or
legal process of any court or governmental agency, or (iv) in connection with
any legal action to which such Lender is a party

                                      -2-

<PAGE>

arising out of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement. The
opinions expressed herein are as of the date hereof, and I make no undertaking
to supplement such opinions as facts and circumstances come to my attention or
changes in law occur which could affect such opinions.

                                        Very truly yours,

                                        ----------------------------------------

       (Form of Opinion of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP)

                                December 15, 2005

To the Lenders party to the
Credit Agreement referred to below
and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Agent

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          We have acted as special counsel to Movado Group, Inc., a New York
corporation (the "Parent Borrower"), MGI Luxury Group S.A., a corporation
organized under the laws of Switzerland ("MGI"), Movado Watch Company SA, a
corporation organized under the laws of Switzerland ("Movado S.A." and, together
with MGI, the "Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers"), Movado Retail Group Inc., a New
Jersey corporation ("Movado Retail"), and Movado LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company ("Movado LLC" and, together with Movado Retail, the Parent
Borrower and the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers, the "Principal Parties"), in
connection with the Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") dated as of the
date hereof, among the Parent Borrower, the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers, the
financial institutions listed on the signature pages of the Credit Agreement
(the "Lenders") and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, as
Swingline Bank and as Issuing Bank (the "Agent Bank"). This opinion is being
furnished to you at the request of the Parent Borrower as provided by Section
5.1(i) of the Credit Agreement. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined
have the respective meanings given those terms in the Credit Agreement.

<PAGE>

          In connection with this opinion, we have examined originals, or copies
certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the following
documents, each dated as of the date of this letter (collectively, the
"Documents"):

          1.   the Credit Agreement;

          2.   the Syndicated Loan Notes issued on the date hereof;

          3.   the Subsidiary Guarantee by Movado Retail in favor of the Lenders
               and the Agent Bank (the "Retail Guarantee");

          4.   the Subsidiary Guarantee by Movado LLC in favor of the Lenders
               and the Agent Bank (the "LLC Guarantee" and, together with the
               Retail Guarantee, the "Initial Subsidiary Guarantees"); and

          5.   the Parent Guarantee by the Parent Borrower in favor of the
               Lenders and the Agent Bank (the "Parent Guarantee").

          In our examination of the documents referred to above, we have
assumed, without independent investigation, the genuineness of all signatures,
the legal capacity of all individuals who have executed any of the documents
reviewed by us, the authenticity of all documents (including the Documents)
submitted to us as originals, the conformity to the originals of all documents
submitted to us as certified, photostatic, reproduced or conformed copies of
valid existing agreements or other documents, the authenticity of the latter
documents and that the statements regarding matters of fact in the certificates,
records, agreements, instruments and documents that we have examined are
accurate and complete. We have also assumed, without independent investigation,
the enforceability of the Documents against each party other than the Principal
Parties.

          In addition, in the case of each Principal Party, we have assumed,
without independent investigation, that (i) such Principal Party is validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of
organization, (ii) such Principal Party has all necessary

                                       -2-

<PAGE>

corporate or limited liability company power, as applicable, and authority to
execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each Document to which it is
a party, (iii) the execution, delivery and performance of each Document have
been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or limited liability company
action, as applicable, and do not violate its charter or other organizational
documents or the laws of its jurisdiction of organization (except New York law)
and (iv) each Document has been duly executed and delivered by it under the laws
of its jurisdiction of organization.

          Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, exceptions,
and qualifications stated below, we are of the opinion that:

          1. Each Document to which any Principal Party is a party is a legal,
valid and binding obligation of such Principal Party, enforceable against such
Principal Party in accordance with its terms.

          2. The execution and delivery by each Principal Party of each of the
Documents to which it is a party and the performance by such Principal Party of
its obligations under the Documents do not violate or result in a breach of or
default under any Covered Law (as defined below) (including Regulations U or X
of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States).

          3. No authorizations or approvals of, and no filings with, any
governmental or regulatory authority or agency are necessary under any Covered
Law for the execution, delivery or performance by any Principal Party of the
Documents to which it is a party.

          This opinion is subject to the following assumptions, exceptions and
qualifications:

               (a) The enforceability of the Documents may be: (i) subject to

                                       -3-

<PAGE>

bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or transfer,
moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally; and (ii)
subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is
considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

               (b) We express no opinion as to: (i) the enforceability of any
provisions in the Initial Subsidiary Guarantees and the Parent Guarantee (the
"Guarantees") purporting to preserve and maintain the liability of any party to
the Guarantees despite the fact that the guarantied debt is unenforceable due to
illegality; (ii) the enforceability of any provisions contained in the Documents
that purport to establish (or may be construed to establish) evidentiary
standards; (iii) the enforceability of forum selection clauses in the federal
courts; (iv) the enforceability of any provisions contained in the Documents
that purport to relinquish a Principal Party's right to a trial by jury or to
waive immunity; or (v) judgment currency clauses to the extent they are
inconsistent with Section 27(b) of the N.Y. Judiciary Law.

               This opinion is limited to the laws of the State of New York and
the federal laws of the United States of America that, in each case, in our
experience, are normally applicable to credit transactions of the type
contemplated by the Credit Agreement (collectively, the "Covered Laws"). This
opinion is rendered only with respect to the laws, and the rules, regulations
and orders under those laws, that are currently in effect.

               This opinion is furnished by us solely for your benefit in
connection with the transactions referred to in the Credit Agreement and may not
be circulated to, or relied upon by, any other Person, except that it may be
circulated to any prospective Lender in accordance with the Credit Agreement and
may be relied upon by any Person who, in the future, becomes a Lender; provided
that each Lender may provide a copy of this opinion (i) to bank examiners and
other regulatory authorities should they so request or in connection with their
normal

                                       -4-

<PAGE>

examination, (ii) to the professional advisers of any Lender, (iii) pursuant to
an order or legal process of any court or governmental agency, or (iv) in
connection with any legal action to which such Lender is a party arising out of
the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement.

                                        Very truly yours,

                                        PAUL, WEISS, RIFKIND, WHARTON &

     MOVADO GROUP, INC., MOVADO WATCH COMPANY AND MGI LUXURY GROUP S. A. AS
     BORROWERS - CREDIT AGREEMENT

     Ladies and Gentlemen

     We have acted as special Swiss counsel to MGI Luxury Group S.A. and Movado
     Watch Company SA (the SWISS OBLIGORS) in connection with the Credit
     Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the AGREEMENT) between Movado Group,
     Inc. (the PARENT), the Swiss Obligors, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as
     Administrative Agent, as Swingline Bank and as Issuing Bank (the AGENT),
     and the Lenders specified therein. As such counsel, we have been requested
     to give our opinion as to certain legal matters relating to the Agreement.

     Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning attributed to them in
     the Agreement unless otherwise defined herein.

I.   BASIS OF OPINION

     This opinion is confined to and given on the basis of the laws of
     Switzerland in force at the date hereof as currently applied by the Swiss
     courts. In the absence of explicit statutory law or established case law,
     we base our opinion solely on our independent professional judgement. This
     opinion is also confined to:

     (i)  the matters stated herein and is not to be read as extending, by
          implication or otherwise, to any agreement or document referred to in
          the Agreement (other than listed below) or any other matter; and

     (ii) the documents listed below.

     For purposes of this opinion we have not conducted any due diligence or
     similar investigation as to factual circumstances, which are or may be
     referred to in the documents below, and we express no opinion as to the
     accuracy of representations and warranties of facts set out in such
     documents or the factual background assumed therein.

     For the purpose of giving this opinion, we have only examined originals or
     copies of the following documents (collectively the DOCUMENTS):

     (i)  execution copy of the Agreement dated December 15, 2005;

     (ii) copies of the articles of incorporation (Statuten) of each of

          -    Movado Watch Company SA, dated as of February 4, 2004;

          (collectively the ARTICLES);

     (iii) copies of certified excerpts from the relevant Registers of Commerce
          for each of the following Swiss Obligors:

               Luxury Group S.A., dated as of December 9, 2005;

          -    from the Register of Commerce of the Canton of Solothurn for
               Movado Watch Company SA, dated as of December 9, 2005;

          (collectively the EXCERPTS);

     (iv) a copy of the resolution of the board of directors of each of

          -    MGI Luxury Group S.A., dated as of December 15, 2005;

          -    Movado Watch Company SA, dated as of December 15, 2005;

          (collectively the BOARD RESOLUTIONS); and

     (v)  a copy of the resolution of the shareholders meeting of each of

          -    MGI Luxury Group S.A., dated as of December 15, 2005;

          -    Movado Watch Company SA, dated as of December 15, 2005;

          (collectively the SHAREHOLDERS' RESOLUTIONS).

     No documents have been reviewed by us in connection with this opinion other
     than those listed above. Accordingly, we shall limit our opinion to the
     above Documents and their legal implications on the Agreement under Swiss
     law.

     In this opinion, Swiss legal concepts are expressed in English terms and
     not in their original language. These concepts may not be identical to the
     concepts described by the same English terms as they exist under the laws
     of other jurisdictions.

II.  ASSUMPTIONS

     In rendering the opinion below, we have assumed:

     (a)  the conformity to the original Documents of all Documents produced to
          us as copies, fax copies or via e-mail, and that the original was
          executed in the manner appearing on the copy;

     (b)  the genuineness and authenticity of the signatures on all original
          Documents or copies thereof which we have examined, and the accuracy
          of all factual information contained in, or material statements given
          in connection with, the Documents;

     (c)  the Agreement is within the capacity and power of, and has been
          validly authorized, executed and delivered by and is binding on all
          parties thereto other than the Swiss Obligors;

     (d)  the performance by all parties to the Agreement of all obligations by
          which they are respectively bound under the Agreement and the
          compliance of all the parties to the Agreement with all matters of
          validity and enforceability under any law other than the laws of
          Switzerland;

                                       -2-

<PAGE>

     (e)  that the Agreement will be valid, binding and enforceable under the
          law of the State of New York by which it is expressed to be governed
          and that the choice of the law of the State of New York and of the
          jurisdiction of the New York state or United States federal courts
          provided in the Agreement is valid under the law of the State of New
          York;

     (f)  that as far as any obligation under the Agreement is required to be
          performed in any jurisdiction outside of Switzerland, its performance
          will not be illegal or unenforceable by virtue of the laws of such
          jurisdiction;

     (g)  that, except as expressly opined upon herein, all representations and
          warranties made by any one of the parties of the Agreement are true
          and accurate;

     (h)  that the Excerpts and the Articles are correct, complete and
          up-to-date;

     (i)  that all parties entered into the Agreement for bona fide commercial
          reasons and on arm's length terms, and that none of the directors or
          officers of the respective party has or had a conflict of interest
          with such party in respect of the Documents that would preclude him
          from validly representing (or granting a power of attorney in respect
          of the Documents for) the respective party;

     (j)  that the Board Resolutions (i) have been duly resolved in meetings
          duly convened and otherwise in the manner set forth therein, and (ii)
          have not been rescinded or amended and are in full force and effect.

III. OPINION

     Based on the foregoing and subject to the qualifications set out below, we
are of the opinion that as of the date hereof:

1.   Each of the Swiss Obligors is a corporation duly incorporated and validly
     existing under the laws of Switzerland with all requisite corporate power
     and authority to own its properties and to carry on its business as
     presently conducted.

2.   Each of the Swiss Obligors has the corporate power to enter into the
     Agreement, and the Agreement has been duly authorized by each of the Swiss
     Obligors.

3.   The execution, delivery and performance by the Swiss Obligors of the
     Agreement do not violate any provision of the Articles or any laws of
     Switzerland applicable to the Swiss Obligors.

4.   The obligations under the Agreement will constitute direct and
     unsubordinated obligations of the Swiss Obligors and will at least rank
     pari passu with any other unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of the
     Swiss Obligors (whether actual or contingent) outstanding from time to
     time, subject to any statutory preferences under applicable law.

5.   The choice of the law of the State of New York as the governing law of the
     Agreement is a valid choice of law under the laws of Switzerland and in any
     action brought before a court of competent jurisdiction in Switzerland, the
     law of the State of New York would be recognized and applied by such court
     to all issues for which under the conflict of laws rules of Switzerland the
     proper or governing law of a contract is applicable provided, however, that
     a Swiss court would apply procedural rules.

6.   The submission by the Swiss Obligors to the jurisdiction of the New York
     state courts and the United States federal courts contained in the
     Agreement is valid and legally binding on the Swiss Obligors under the laws
     of Switzerland.

                                       -3-

<PAGE>

7.   The courts of Switzerland will recognise as valid, and will enforce, any
     final and non-appealable civil judgment for a monetary claim obtained in a
     New York state court or a United States federal court against the Swiss
     Obligors.

8.   The designation by the Swiss Obligors of Corporation Service Company as
     agent to receive service of process in New York state or United States
     federal courts on their behalf is valid and binding under the laws of
     Switzerland, as long as Corporation Service Company is properly acting as
     agent for service of process and its mandate has not been revoked.

9.   The Swiss Obligors are not required by law in relation to any sums payable
     under the Agreement or the payment of fees by the Swiss Obligors to the
     Agent to make, or cause to be made, any deduction or withholding for or on
     account of any taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of Switzerland or
     any political subdivision or any taxing authority thereof or therein.

10.  No Swiss stamp duty on the issuance of securities (Emissionsabgabe) and no
     Swiss stamp duty on the turnover of securities (Umsatzabgabe) will be
     payable to any governmental authority of Switzerland in connection with the
     execution and delivery of the Agreement and the making available of the
     facility in accordance therewith.

11.  No Swiss Obligor has any immunity from suit or proceedings or the
     enforcement of any judgment (whether on the grounds of sovereign immunity
     or otherwise) under the laws of Switzerland.

12.  To ensure the validity and enforceability or admissibility in evidence of
     the Agreement, it is not necessary that the Agreement be approved,
     authorized, filed or recorded with any governmental, administrative or
     other authority or court in Switzerland.

13.  It is not necessary under Swiss law (i) in order to be entitled the full
     access as plaintiff to the courts of competent jurisdiction of Switzerland
     or any political subdivision thereof for the enforcement of any right,
     power or remedy accorded in, under or in connection with the Agreement, or
     (ii) by reason only of the execution, delivery or performance of the
     Agreement, that any of the Lenders or the Agent should be licensed,
     qualified or entitled to carry on business in Switzerland.

14.  None of the Lenders or the Agent will be deemed to be resident, domiciled
     or carrying on business in Switzerland by reason only of the execution,
     delivery, performance and/or enforcement of the Agreement.

IV.  QUALIFICATIONS

     The above opinions are subject to the following qualifications:

     (a)  We are members of the Zurich bar and do not hold ourselves to be
          experts in any laws other than the laws of Switzerland. Accordingly,
          we are opining herein as to Swiss law only and we express no opinion
          with respect to the applicability thereto, or the effect thereon, of
          the laws of any other jurisdiction.

     (b)  Where we refer to enforceability, we only express an opinion as to
          enforceability under the rules of procedure applicable in Switzerland.
          Enforceability of the Agreement may be limited by applicable
          bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganisation or similar laws affecting
          creditors and secured parties in general (including, without
          limitation, provisions relating to voidable preferences), laws or
          equitable principles of general application (including, but not
          limited to, the abuse of rights (Rechtsmissbrauch) and the principle
          of good faith (Grundsatz von Treu und Glauben)), and public policy, as
          defined in Art. 17-19 of the Swiss Private International Law Act of
          December 18, 1987, as amended (the PRIVATE INTERNATIONAL LAW ACT).

                                       -4-

<PAGE>

           Enforcement before the courts of Switzerland will in any event be
subject to:

          (i)  the nature of the remedies available in the Swiss courts (and
               nothing in this opinion must be taken as indicating that specific
               performance (other than for the payment of a sum of money) or
               injunctive relief would be available as remedies for the
               enforcement of such obligations); and

          (ii) the acceptance of such courts of jurisdiction and the power of
               such courts to stay proceedings if concurrent proceedings are
               being brought elsewhere.

     (c)  Claims may become barred under statutes of limitation or prescription,
          or may be or become subject to available defences such as set-off,
          counterclaim, misrepresentation, material error, duress or fraud.
          Further, limitations may apply with respect to any indemnification and
          contribution undertakings by the Swiss Obligors if a court considers
          any act of the indemnified person as wilful or negligent, and an
          obligation to pay an amount may be unenforceable if the amount is held
          to constitute an excessive penalty (such as exemplary or punitive
          damages).

     (d)  The enforceability in Switzerland of a foreign judgment rendered
          against any Swiss Obligor is subject to the limitations set forth in
          (x) the Convention on Jurisdiction and Enforcement of Judgements in
          Civil and Commercial Matters of September 16, 1988 (the LUGANO
          CONVENTION), (y) such other international treaties under which
          Switzerland is bound, and (z) the Private International Law Act. In
          particular, and without limitation to the foregoing, a judgment
          rendered by a foreign court may only be enforced in Switzerland if:

          (i)  (in case of (y) and (z) and, in certain exceptional cases, (x))
               the foreign court had jurisdiction;

          (ii) the judgment of such foreign court has become final and
               non-appealable, or, in the case of (x), has become enforceable at
               an earlier stage;

          (iii) the court procedures leading to the judgment followed the
               principles of due process of law, including proper service of
               process; and

          (iv) the judgment of the foreign court on its merits does not violate
               Swiss law principles of public policy.

          In addition, enforceability of a judgment by a non-Swiss court in
          Switzerland may be limited if the Company can demonstrate that it was
          not effectively served with process.

     (e)  Enforcement claim or court judgment under Swiss debt collection or
          bankruptcy proceedings may only be made in Swiss francs and the
          foreign currency amount must accordingly be converted into Swiss
          francs at the rate obtained, with respect to the enforcing creditor,
          on (i) the date of instituting the enforcement proceedings or (ii) the
          date of the filing for the continuation of the bankruptcy procedure
          (Fortsetzungsbegehren) and, with respect to non-enforcing creditors,
          at the rate obtained at the time of the adjudication of bankruptcy
          (Konkurseroffnung).

     (f)  Section 4.5 of the Agreement (Tax gross-up) provides for the gross-up
          of payments to the extent withholding tax is imposed on payments of a
          Swiss Obligor pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. This obligation
          may violate Article 14 of the Swiss Federal Withholding Tax Act of
          October 13, 1965 (the WITHHOLDING TAX ACT) which stipulates that (i)
          Swiss withholding tax (Verrechnungssteuer) to be withheld from any
          payment must be charged to the recipient of the payment, and (ii)
          contradictory agreements are null and void as to this issue. The Swiss
          Federal Tax Administration proclaimed that gross-up provisions are
          compliant with Article 14 of the Withholding Tax Act if (i) the
          obligor promises a minimum interest rate in the interest rate clause
          of the agreement which, under the condition of imposition of Swiss
          withholding tax, is to be adjusted in correspondence with the tax
          withheld, (ii) and, hence, Swiss withholding tax indeed is calculated
          on the basis of the

                                       -5-

<PAGE>

          grossed-up net amount received by the creditor, (iii) the obligor
          promises the creditor to provide sufficient documentation potentially
          enabling the creditor to recover Swiss withholding tax, and (iv) the
          parties could in good faith assume at the time of entering into the
          agreement that payments under the agreement were not subject to Swiss
          withholding tax. A Swiss court ruling on the validity or
          enforceability of the said gross-up provisions will, however, not be
          bound by the Swiss Federal Tax Administration's interpretation of
          Article 14 of the Withholding Tax Act.

     (g)  The opinions set forth in Sections III. 9. and III. 10. above are
          subject to the qualification that the Swiss Obligors at all times
          comply with the ten and twenty non-bank rules pursuant to the present
          practice of the Swiss Federal Tax Administration.

     (h)  The enforcement of any guarantee, indemnity or other obligation of any
          Swiss Obligor for, or with respect to, any obligation of any other
          obligor may be limited to the freely disposable shareholders' equity
          of such Swiss Obligor. Such freely disposable shareholder equity shall
          be determined in accordance with Swiss law and Swiss accounting
          principles and shall correspond to the amount of the relevant Swiss
          Obligor's total shareholder equity less the total of (i) its aggregate
          share capital and (ii) its statutory reserves (including reserves for
          its own shares and revaluations as well as paid-in capital surplus) at
          the time of the start of the proceedings for enforcement. In addition,
          Swiss withholding tax of 35 percent may be levied on payments under a
          guarantee, indemnity or other obligation by a Swiss Obligor for, or
          with respect to, any obligation of any other obligor if the Swiss
          Federal Tax Administration deems such payment a dividend or similar
          distribution.

     (i)  We express no opinion as to the validity, binding effect and
          enforceability of the irrevocability of any power of attorney or
          appointment of an agent if such power of attorney or appointment has
          been revoked.

     (j)  Further, we express no opinion as to banking regulatory matters or as
          to any commercial, accounting, calculating, auditing or other
          non-legal matter. Except as expressed in opinions III. 9. and III. 10.
          above, we express no opinion as to tax matters.

     (k)  A determination, calculation or certificate as to any matter may be
          held by a Swiss court not to be final, conclusive or binding if such
          determination, calculation or certification were shown to have an
          unreasonable, incorrect or arbitrary basis or not to have been given
          or made in good faith.

                                      * * *

     We have issued this opinion as of the date hereof and we assume no
     obligation to advise you of any changes that are made or brought to our
     attention hereafter.

               This opinion may be relied upon by you in your respective
capacity set forth in the Agreement in connection with the matters set forth
herein. Without our prior written consent, it may not be furnished or quoted to
other persons, and it may not be relied upon by you, in any other capacity or

                              SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE

          REFERENCE IS HEREBY MADE to the Credit Agreement dated as of December
15, 2005 (which, as the same has heretofore been or may hereafter be amended
from time to time, will be called herein the "Credit Agreement") among Movado
Group, Inc., a New York corporation (the "Parent"), Movado Watch Company SA
("MWC"), MGI Luxury Group S.A. ("Luxury"), the Lenders party thereto, and
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, as Swingline Bank and as
Issuing Bank. All capitalized terms used herein and not defined shall have the
respective meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement.

          WHEREAS, the Credit Agreement provides for the extension of credit by
the Lenders, the Swingline Bank and the

          Issuing Bank (all of which, together with the Administrative Agent,
will be called herein the "Creditors") to the Parent; and

          WHEREAS, all the obligations and liabilities (whether now existing or
hereafter arising) of the Parent to any or all of the Creditors under the Credit
Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents (including without limitation
the Parent Guarantee), whether for principal, interest, fees, reimbursement
obligations, indemnification obligations, costs of enforcement or otherwise,
will be called herein the "Obligations" (for the avoidance of doubt, the term
"Obligations" includes any increase in such obligations and liabilities
resulting from an increase in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to
Section 2.16 of the Credit Agreement); and

          WHEREAS, [_____] (the "Guarantor") expects to obtain substantial
economic benefit from the extension of credit by the Creditors to the Parent
under the Credit Agreement; and

          WHEREAS, the execution and delivery of this Subsidiary Guarantee by
the Guarantor is required pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement;

          NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and to induce the Creditors to
extend credit to the Parent under the Facility Documents, the Guarantor hereby
agrees with the Creditors as follows:

          1. The Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees to the Creditors
that the Parent will promptly pay, perform and observe all the Obligations, and
that all sums stated to be payable in, or which become payable under, the
Facility Documents by the Parent will be promptly paid in full when due, whether
at stated maturity or earlier by reason of acceleration or otherwise, and, in
the case of one or more extensions of time of payment or performance or renewals
of any Obligation, that the same will be promptly paid or performed (as the case
may be) when due according to such extension or renewal, whether at stated
maturity or earlier by reason of acceleration or otherwise, irrespective of the
validity, regularity, or enforceability of any of the Facility Documents or any
of the Obligations and irrespective of any present or future law or order of any
government (whether of right or in fact and whether the Creditors shall have
consented thereto) or of any agency thereof purporting to reduce, amend,
restructure or otherwise

<PAGE>

affect any Obligation of the Parent or other obligor or to vary the terms of
payment; provided, however, that the liability of the Guarantor hereunder with
respect to the Obligations shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the
largest amount that would not render such liability subject to avoidance under
Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of
any applicable state law.

          2. The Guarantor agrees that, as among the Guarantor and the
Creditors, the Obligations may be declared to be due and payable for purposes of
this Subsidiary Guarantee notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other
prohibition which may prevent, delay or vitiate any such declaration as against
the Parent and that, in the event of any such declaration (or attempted
declaration), such Obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Parent)
shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for purposes of this
Subsidiary Guarantee. The Guarantor further guarantees that all payments made by
the Parent to the Creditors of any Obligation will, when made, be final and
agrees that if any such payment is recovered from, or repaid by, any Creditor in
whole or in part in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding instituted
by or against the Parent, this Subsidiary Guarantee shall continue to be fully
applicable to such Obligation to the same extent as though the payment so
recovered or repaid had never been originally made on such Obligation.

          3. This Subsidiary Guarantee is a guaranty of payment and not of
collection only and shall apply to all Obligations whenever arising.

          4. The Guarantor hereby consents that from time to time, without
notice to or further consent of the Guarantor, the payment, performance or
observance of any or all of the Obligations may be waived or the time of payment
or performance thereof extended or accelerated, or renewed in whole or in part,
or the terms of the Facility Documents or any part thereof may be changed
(including, without limitation, an increase or decrease in the Total Revolving
Credit Commitment or any Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment or rate of
interest thereon) and any collateral therefor may be exchanged, surrendered or
otherwise dealt with as the Creditors may determine, and any of the acts
mentioned in the Facility Documents may be done, all without affecting the
liability of the Guarantor hereunder. The Guarantor hereby waives presentment of
any instrument, demand of payment, protest and notice of non-payment or protest
thereof or of any exchange, sale, surrender or other handling or disposition of
such collateral, and any requirement that any Creditor exhaust any right, power
or remedy or proceed against the Parent under the Facility Documents or against
any other person under any other guaranty of, or security for, any of the
Obligations. The Guarantor hereby further waives any defense whatsoever which
might constitute a defense available to, or discharge of, the Parent or a
guarantor. No payment by the Guarantor pursuant to any provision hereunder shall
entitle the Guarantor, by subrogation to the rights of any Creditor or
otherwise, to any payment by the Parent (or out of the property of the Parent)
except after payment in full of all sums (including interest, costs and
expenses) which may be or become payable by the Parent to the Creditors at any
time or from time to time.

          5. This Subsidiary Guarantee shall be a continuing guaranty, and any
other guarantor, and any other party liable upon or in respect of any Obligation
hereby guaranteed, may be released without affecting the liability of the
Guarantor hereunder. The liability of the

                                       -2-

<PAGE>

Guarantor hereunder shall be joint and several with the liability of any other
guarantor or other party upon or in respect of the Obligations.

          6. Any Creditor may assign its rights and powers hereunder, with all
or any of the Obligations, and, in the event of such assignment, the assignee
hereof or of such rights and powers, shall have the same rights and remedies as
if originally named herein. The Guarantor may not assign or transfer any of its
rights or obligations under this Subsidiary Guarantee without the written
approval of all the Lenders (and any such assignment or transfer that is
attempted without such consent shall be void).

          7. Notice of acceptance of this Subsidiary Guarantee and of the
incurring of any and all of the Obligations of the Parent pursuant to the
Facility Documents is hereby waived. This Subsidiary Guarantee and all rights,
obligations and liabilities arising hereunder shall be governed by and construed
according to the law of the State of New York. Unless the context otherwise
requires, all terms used herein which are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code
shall have the meanings therein stated.

          8. The Guarantor agrees that, in addition to (and without limitation
of) any right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim any Creditor may
otherwise have, each of the Creditors shall be entitled, at its option, to set
off and apply balances (general or special, time or demand, provisional or
final) held by it for account of the Guarantor at any of its offices in dollars
or in any other currency, against any amounts owing hereunder that are not paid
when due (regardless of whether such balances are then due to the Guarantor), in
which case it shall promptly notify the Guarantor thereof; provided, however,
that any failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity thereof.

          9. No provision of this Subsidiary Guarantee may be modified or waived
without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required
Lenders (or, to the extent required by the Credit Agreement, all Lenders).

          10. Without limiting the rights of any Creditor under any other
agreement, any financial accommodation (including, without limitation, interest
accruing at the agreed to contract rate after the commencement of any
bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding) extended by the Guarantor to
or for the account of the Parent, or in respect of which the Parent may be
liable to the Guarantor in any capacity, is hereby subordinated to all the
Obligations, and such financial accommodation of the Guarantor to the Parent, if
the Administrative Agent so requests, shall be collected, enforced and received
by the Guarantor as trustee for the Creditors and be paid over to the
Administrative Agent on account of the Obligations but without reducing or
affecting in any manner the liability of the Guarantor, under the other
provisions of this Subsidiary Guarantee.

          11. The Guarantor hereby agrees that if any Subsidiary Guarantor party
to any other Subsidiary Guarantee shall become an Excess Funding Guarantor (as
defined below) by reason of the payment by such Guarantor of any of the
Obligations guaranteed thereunder and hereunder (the "Guaranteed Obligations"),
then the Guarantor shall, on demand of such Excess Funding Guarantor (but
subject to the next sentence), pay to such Excess Funding Guarantor an amount
equal to the Guarantor's Pro Rata Share (as defined below and determined, for
this

                                       -3-

<PAGE>

purpose, without reference to the properties, debts and liabilities of such
Excess Funding Guarantor) of the Excess Payment (as defined below) in respect of
the Guaranteed Obligations. The payment obligation of the Guarantor to any
Excess Funding Guarantor under this paragraph shall be subordinate and subject
in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the obligations of each
Subsidiary Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guarantee to which it is a party and
no Excess Funding Guarantor shall exercise any right or remedy with respect to
such excess until payment and satisfaction in full of all of such obligations.
For purposes of this paragraph, (i) "Excess Funding Guarantor" means, in respect
of any Guaranteed Obligations, any Subsidiary Guarantor that has paid an amount
in excess of its Pro Rata Share of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) "Excess
Payment" means, in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations, the amount paid by an
Excess Funding Guarantor in excess of its Pro Rata Share of such Guaranteed
Obligations and (iii) "Pro Rata Share" means, for any Subsidiary Guarantor, the
ratio (expressed as a percentage) of (x) the amount by which the aggregate fair
saleable value of all properties of such Subsidiary Guarantor (excluding any
shares of stock or other equity interest of any other Subsidiary Guarantor)
exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor
(including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but
excluding the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder and any
obligations of any other Subsidiary Guarantor that have been Guaranteed by such
Subsidiary Guarantor) to (y) the amount by which the aggregate fair saleable
value of all properties of the Parent and all of the Subsidiary Guarantors
exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities (including contingent,
subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the
obligations of the Obligors hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) of all
of the Subsidiary Guarantors, determined (A) with respect to any Subsidiary
Guarantor that is a party hereto on the Closing Date, as of the Closing Date,
and (B) with respect to any other Subsidiary Guarantor, as of the date such
Subsidiary Guarantor becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor under a Subsidiary
Guarantee.

          12. The Guarantor hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of
any New York State or Federal court sitting in New York City in any action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Subsidiary Guarantee, and the
Guarantor hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or
proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or Federal court.
The Guarantor irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any
such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies of such process to the
Guarantor at its address specified on the signature page hereof. The Guarantor
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 paragraph shall affect the
rights of the Creditors to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by
law or affect the rights of the Creditors to bring any action or proceeding
against the Guarantor or any of its property in the courts of any other
jurisdiction. To the extent that the Guarantor has or hereafter may acquire any
immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether from
service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution,
execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, the Guarantor
hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its Obligations under this
Subsidiary Guarantee. The Guarantor hereby expressly waives any and every right
to a trial by jury in any action on or related to this Subsidiary Guarantee, the
Obligations or the enforcement of either or all of the same, and does further
expressly waive any and every right to interpose any counterclaim in any such
action or proceeding. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Guarantor
shall not assert, and the Guarantor hereby waives, any claim against any
Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for

                                       -4-

<PAGE>

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
Subsidiary Guarantee, any other Facility Document or any agreement or instrument
contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the
proceeds thereof. The Guarantor agrees to reimburse the Creditors on demand for
all reasonable and documented costs, expenses, and charges (including, without
limitation, reasonable and documented attorneys' fees) incurred by the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders in connection with any enforcement of this
Subsidiary Guarantee.

          13. The rights, powers and remedies granted to the Creditors herein
shall be cumulative and in addition to any rights, powers and remedies to which
the Creditors may be entitled either by operation of law or pursuant to the
Facility Documents or any other document or instrument delivered or from time to
time to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection
with the Facility Documents.

          14. When all Obligations shall have been paid in full (other than
contingent obligations that survive the termination of the Credit Agreement) and
the Commitments and L/C Exposures of all the Lenders under the Credit Agreement
shall have expired or been terminated, the obligations of the Guarantor under
this Subsidiary Guarantee shall terminate; provided that, thereafter the
obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be automatically reinstated if and
to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Parent in
respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereunder is rescinded or must be
otherwise restored by any holder of such Obligations, whether as a result of any
proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and the Guarantor
agrees that it will indemnify the Administrative Agent and each other Creditor
on demand for all reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including,
without limitation, reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel)
incurred by the Administrative Agent or any other Creditor in connection with
such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred
in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a
preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy,
insolvency or similar law.

                                PARENT GUARANTEE

          REFERENCE IS HEREBY MADE to the Credit Agreement dated as of December
15, 2005 (which, as the same has heretofore been or may hereafter be amended
from time to time, will be called herein the "Credit Agreement") among Movado
Group, Inc., a New York corporation (the "Parent"), Movado Watch Company SA
("MWC"), MGI Luxury Group S.A. ("Luxury"), the Lenders party thereto, and
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, as Swingline Bank and as
Issuing Bank. All capitalized terms used herein and not defined shall have the
respective meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement.

          WHEREAS, the Credit Agreement provides for the extension of credit by
the Lenders (all of which, together with any domestic or foreign branch or
Affiliate thereof through which any Loan is made and the Administrative Agent,
will be called herein the "Creditors") to MWC and to Luxury (the "Foreign
Subsidiary Borrowers"); and

          WHEREAS, all the obligations and liabilities (whether now existing or
hereafter arising) of either or both of the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers to any
or all of the Creditors under the Credit Agreement or any of the other Facility
Documents (whether for principal, interest, fees, reimbursement obligations,
indemnification obligations, costs of enforcement or otherwise) will be called
herein the "Obligations" (for the avoidance of doubt, the term "Obligations"
includes any increase in such obligations and liabilities resulting from an
increase in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to Section 2.16 of
the Credit Agreement); and

          WHEREAS, the Parent expects to obtain substantial economic benefit
from the extension of credit by the Creditors to the Foreign Subsidiary
Borrowers under the Credit Agreement; and

          WHEREAS, the execution and delivery of this Parent Guarantee by the
Parent is required pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement;

          NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and to induce the Creditors to
extend credit to the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers under the Facility Documents,
the Parent hereby agrees with the Creditors as follows:

          1. The Parent hereby unconditionally guarantees to the Creditors that
each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower will promptly pay, perform and observe all the
Obligations of such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, and that all sums stated to be
payable in, or which become payable under, the Facility Documents by either or
both of the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers will be promptly paid in full when due,
whether at stated maturity or earlier by reason of acceleration or otherwise,
and, in the case of one or more extensions of time of payment or performance or
renewals of any Obligation, that the same will be promptly paid or performed (as
the case may be) when due according to such extension or renewal, whether at
stated maturity or earlier by reason of acceleration or otherwise, irrespective
of the validity, regularity, or enforceability of

<PAGE>

any of the Facility Documents or any of the Obligations and irrespective of any
present or future law or order of any government (whether of right or in fact
and whether the Creditors shall have consented thereto) or of any agency thereof
purporting to reduce, amend, restructure or otherwise affect any Obligation of
the Foreign Subsidiary Borrower or other obligor or to vary the terms of
payment.

          2. The Parent agrees that, as among the Parent and the Creditors, the
Obligations may be declared to be due and payable for purposes of this Parent
Guarantee notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition which may
prevent, delay or vitiate any such declaration as against either or both of the
Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers and that, in the event of any such declaration (or
attempted declaration), such Obligations (whether or not due and payable by
either or both of the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers) shall forthwith become due
and payable by the Parent for purposes of this Parent Guarantee. The Parent
further guarantees that all payments made by the Parent to the Creditors of any
Obligation will, when made, be final and agrees that if any such payment is
recovered from, or repaid by, any Creditor in whole or in part in any
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding instituted by or against either or
both of the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers, this Parent Guarantee shall continue
to be fully applicable to such Obligation to the same extent as though the
payment so recovered or repaid had never been originally made on such
Obligation.

          3. This Parent Guarantee is a guaranty of payment and not of
collection only and shall apply to all Obligations whenever arising.

          4. The Parent hereby consents that from time to time, without notice
to or further consent of the Parent, the payment, performance or observance of
any or all of the Obligations may be waived or the time of payment or
performance thereof extended or accelerated, or renewed in whole or in part, or
the terms of the Facility Documents or any part thereof may be changed
(including, without limitation, an increase or decrease in the Foreign Currency
Sublimit Dollar Amount, Total Revolving Credit Commitment or any Lender's
Revolving Credit Commitment or rate of interest thereon) and any collateral
therefor may be exchanged, surrendered or otherwise dealt with as the Creditors
may determine, and any of the acts mentioned in the Facility Documents may be
done, all without affecting the liability of the Parent hereunder. The Parent
hereby waives presentment of any instrument, demand of payment, protest and
notice of non-payment or protest thereof or of any exchange, sale, surrender or
other handling or disposition of such collateral, and any requirement that any
Creditor exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against either or both of
the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers under the Facility Documents or against any
other person under any other guaranty of, or security for, any of the
Obligations. The Parent hereby further waives any defense whatsoever which might
constitute a defense available to, or discharge of, either or both of the
Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers or a guarantor. No payment by the Parent pursuant
to any provision hereunder shall entitle the Parent, by subrogation to the
rights of any Creditor or otherwise, to any payment by either or both of the
Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers (or out of the property of either or both of the
Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers) except after payment in full of all sums
(including interest, costs and expenses) which may be or become payable by such
Foreign Subsidiary Borrower to the Creditors at any time or from time to time.

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

          5. This Parent Guarantee shall be a continuing guaranty, and any other
guarantor, and any other party liable upon or in respect of any Obligation
hereby guaranteed, may be released without affecting the liability of the Parent
hereunder. The liability of the Parent hereunder shall be joint and several with
the liability of any other guarantor or other party upon or in respect of the
Obligations.

          6. Any Creditor may assign its rights and powers hereunder, with all
or any of the Obligations, and, in the event of such assignment, the assignee
hereof or of such rights and powers, shall have the same rights and remedies as
if originally named herein. The Parent may not assign or transfer any of its
rights or obligations under this Parent Guarantee without the written approval
of all the Lenders (and any such assignment or transfer that is attempted
without such consent shall be void).

          7. Notice of acceptance of this Parent Guarantee and of the incurring
of any and all of the Obligations of either or both of the Foreign Subsidiary
Borrowers pursuant to the Facility Documents is hereby waived. This Parent
Guarantee and all rights, obligations and liabilities arising hereunder shall be
governed by and construed according to the law of the State of New York. Unless
the context otherwise requires, all terms used herein which are defined in the
Uniform Commercial Code shall have the meanings therein stated.

          8. The Parent agrees that, in addition to (and without limitation of)
any right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim any Creditor may otherwise
have, each of the Creditors shall be entitled, at its option, to set off and
apply balances (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) held
by it for account of the Parent at any of its offices in dollars or in any other
currency, against any amounts owing hereunder that are not paid when due
(regardless of whether such balances are then due to the Parent), in which case
it shall promptly notify the Parent thereof; provided, however, that any failure
to give such notice shall not affect the validity thereof.

          9. No provision of this Parent Guarantee may be modified or waived
without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required
Lenders (or, to the extent required by the Credit Agreement, all Lenders).

          10. Without limiting the rights of any Creditor under any other
agreement, any financial accommodation (including, without limitation, interest
accruing at the agreed to contract rate after the commencement of any
bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding) extended by the Parent to or
for the account of either or both of the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers, or in
respect of which either or both of the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers may be
liable to the Parent in any capacity, is hereby subordinated to all the
Obligations payable by such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, and such financial
accommodation of the Parent to either or both of the Foreign Subsidiary
Borrowers, if the Administrative Agent so requests, shall be collected, enforced
and received by the Parent as trustee for the Creditors and be paid over to the
Administrative Agent on account of the Obligations payable by such Foreign
Subsidiary Borrower but without reducing or affecting in any manner the
liability of the Parent, under the other provisions of this Parent Guarantee.

                                      -3-

          11. The Parent hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any
New York State or Federal court sitting in New York City in any action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Parent Guarantee, and the Parent
hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or
proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or Federal court.
The Parent irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any
such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies of such process to the Parent
at its address specified on the signature page hereof. The Parent 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 paragraph shall affect the rights of the
Creditors to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect
the rights of the Creditors to bring any action or proceeding against the Parent
or any of its property in the courts of any other jurisdiction. To the extent
that the Parent has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of
any court or from any legal process (whether from service or notice, attachment
prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with
respect to itself or its property, the Parent hereby irrevocably waives such
immunity in respect of its Obligations under this Parent Guarantee. The Parent
hereby expressly waives any and every right to a trial by jury in any action on
or related to this Parent Guarantee, the Obligations or the enforcement of
either or all of the same, and does further expressly waive any and every right
to interpose any counterclaim in any such action or proceeding. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, the Parent shall not assert, and the Parent 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
Parent Guarantee, any other Facility Document or any agreement or instrument
contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the
proceeds thereof. The Parent agrees to reimburse the Creditors on demand for all
reasonable costs, expenses, and charges (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders
in connection with any enforcement of this Parent Guarantee.

          12. The rights, powers and remedies granted to the Creditors herein
shall be cumulative and in addition to any rights, powers and remedies to which
the Creditors may be entitled either by operation of law or pursuant to the
Facility Documents or any other document or instrument delivered or from time to
time to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection
with the Facility Documents.

          13. When all Obligations shall have been paid in full (other than
contingent obligations that survive the termination of the Credit Agreement) and
the Commitments and L/C Exposures of all the Lenders under the Credit Agreement
shall have expired or been terminated, the obligations of the Parent under this
Parent Guarantee shall terminate; provided that, thereafter the obligations of
the Parent hereunder shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that
for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any of the Foreign Subsidiary
Borrowers in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereunder is rescinded or
must be otherwise restored by any holder of such Obligations, whether as a
result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and the
Parent agrees that it will indemnify the Administrative Agent and each other
Creditor on demand for all reasonable and documented costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable and documented fees and expenses of
counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any other Creditor in
connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and
expenses incurred in defending against any claim

alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or
