                   COLUMBIA BANCORP 1999 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
                                 (AMENDED 2002)

      1. Purpose. The purpose of this 1999 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") is
to enable Columbia Bancorp (the "Company") and its subsidiaries to attract and
retain experienced and able directors, officers, employees and other key
contributors and to provide an additional incentive to these individuals to
exert their best efforts for the Company, its subsidiaries and its shareholders.

      2. Administration.

      2.1 Board of Directors. The Plan shall be administered by the board of
directors of the Company (the "Board of Directors"), which shall determine and
designate from time to time the persons to whom grants and awards shall be made
and the amounts, terms and conditions of such grants and awards. Subject to the
provisions of the Plan, the Board of Directors may from time to time adopt or
amend rules and regulations relating to administration of the Plan, and the
interpretation and construction of the provisions of the Plan by the Board of
Directors shall be final and conclusive. Whenever the operation of the Plan
requires that the fair market value of the Company's common stock (the "Stock")
be determined, the fair market value shall be the closing price of the Stock as
quoted on the Nasdaq National Market on the date of the grant or award, or on
the next business day if the date of the grant or award is a holiday. No
employee who receives an option or other grant or award under the Plan shall
participate in the decision of the Board of Directors with respect to the grant
or award to that employee.

      2.2 Committee. The Board of Directors may delegate to a committee of the
Board of Directors (the "Committee") any or all authority for administration of
the Plan. If authority is delegated to a Committee, all references to the Board
of Directors in the Plan shall mean and relate to the Committee except (i) as
otherwise provided by the Board of Directors and (ii) that only the Board of
Directors may amend or terminate the Plan as provided elsewhere herein.

      3. Eligibility. Grants and awards may be made under the Plan to directors,
officers and key employees of the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the
Company, and other key individuals such as consultants to the Company who the
Board of Directors believes have made or will make an essential contribution to
the Company; provided, however, that only employees of the Company or its parent
or subsidiary corporations shall be eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options
under the Plan.

      4. Shares Subject to the Plan. Only common stock may be issued under the
Plan. The total number of shares of Stock that may be issued upon the exercise
of all options or pursuant to grants of rights or stock bonuses under the Plan
and under any prior stock incentive plans shall at no time exceed in the
aggregate ten percent (10%) of the Company's total issued and outstanding shares
of Stock. If any option under the Plan or stock appreciation right granted
without a related option expires or is canceled or terminated and is unexercised
in whole or in part, the shares allocable to the unexercised portion shall again
become available for awards under the Plan, except that shares that are issued
on exercise of a stock appreciation right that were allocable to an option, or
portion thereof, surrendered in connection with the exercise of the stock
appreciation right shall not again become available for awards under the Plan.
If Stock awarded as a bonus under the Plan is forfeited or repurchased pursuant
to applicable restrictions, the number of shares forfeited or purchased shall
again be available under the Plan. Stock issued under the Plan may be subject to
such restrictions on transfer, repurchase rights, or other restrictions as are
determined by the Board of Directors. Any certificates representing such Stock
shall bear such legends as are determined by the Board of Directors.

      5. Effective Date and Duration of Plan.

<PAGE>

      5.1 Effective Date. The Plan was adopted by a majority vote of the Board
of Directors on February 19, 1999 subject to shareholder approval, and shall
become effective (the "Effective Date") on the date when the Plan is approved by
a vote of a simple majority of the shareholders of the Company entitled to vote
on the matter. The approval of the Plan shall be submitted to shareholders for a
vote at the 1999 Annual Meeting of the Company. Options and stock appreciation
rights may be granted and Stock may be awarded as bonuses under the Plan at any
time after the Effective Date and before termination of the Plan.

      5.2 Duration of the Plan. The Plan shall continue until, in the aggregate,
options and stock appreciation rights have been granted and exercised and Stock
has been awarded as bonuses and the restrictions on any such Stock have lapsed
with respect to all shares subject to the Plan under paragraph 4 (subject to any
adjustments under paragraph 9). The Board of Directors may suspend or terminate
the Plan at any time except with respect to options, stock appreciation rights
and bonus rights, and Stock subject to restrictions then outstanding under the
Plan. Termination shall not affect any right of the Company to repurchase shares
or the forfeitability of shares issued under the Plan.

      6. Grants, Awards and Sales.

      6.1 Types of Securities. The Board of Directors may, from time to time,
take the following actions, separately or in combination, under the Plan: (i)
grant Incentive Stock Options, as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"); (ii) grant options other than Incentive
Stock Options (hereinafter "Non-Statutory Stock Options"); (iii) grant stock
appreciation rights or bonus rights; and (iv) award bonuses of Stock. The Board
of Directors shall specify the action taken with respect to each person granted
or awarded any option or Stock under the Plan and shall specifically designate
each option granted under the Plan as an Incentive Stock Option or a
Non-Statutory Stock Option.

      6.2 General Rules Relating to Options.

            6.2.1 Time of Exercise. Except as provided in paragraph 8, options
granted under the Plan may be exercised over the period stated in each option in
amounts and at times prescribed by the Board of Directors and stated in the
option, provided that options shall not be exercised for fractional shares. If
the optionee does not exercise an option in any period with respect o the full
number of shares to which the optionee is entitled in that period, he optionee's
rights shall be cumulative and the optionee may purchase those hares in any
subsequent period during the term of the option.

            6.2.2 Purchase of Shares. Shares may be purchased or acquired
pursuant to an option granted under the Plan only on receipt by the Company of
notice in writing from the optionee of the optionee's intention to exercise,
specifying the number of shares the optionee desires to purchase and the date on
which the optionee desires to complete the transaction, which may not be more
than 30 days after receipt of the notice. On or before the date specified for
completion of the purchase, the optionee must have paid the Company the full
purchase price in cash, including cash that may be the proceeds of a loan from
the Company, in shares of Stock previously acquired by the optionee valued at
fair market value, or in any combination of cash and shares of Stock. No shares
shall be issued until full payment therefor has been made. Each optionee who has
exercised an option shall, on notification of the amount due, if any, and prior
to or concurrently with delivery of the certificates representing the shares for
which the option was exercised, pay to the Company amounts necessary to satisfy
any applicable federal, state, and local withholding tax requirements. If
additional withholding becomes required beyond any amount deposited before
delivery of the certificates, the optionee shall pay such amount to the Company
on demand. If the employee fails to pay the amount demanded, the Company shall
have the right to withhold that amount from other amounts payable by the Company
to the optionee, including salary, subject to applicable law.

      6.3 Incentive Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options shall be subject to
the following additional terms

<PAGE>

and conditions:

            6.3.1 Limitation on Amount of Grants. No employee may be granted
Incentive Stock Options under the Plan such that the aggregate fair market value
on the date of grant of the Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options
are exercisable for the first time by that employee during any calendar year,
under the Plan and under any other incentive stock option plan (within the
meaning of Section 422 of the Code) of the Company or any parent or subsidiary
of the Company, exceeds $100,000.

            6.3.2 Option Price. The option price per share under each option
granted under the Plan shall be determined by the Board of Directors, but the
option price with respect to an Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than
100 percent of the fair market value of the shares covered by the option on the
date the option is granted.

            6.3.3 Duration of Options. Subject to paragraphs 6.3.4 and 8, each
option granted under the Plan shall continue in effect for the period fixed by
the Board of Directors, except that no Incentive Stock Option shall be
exercisable after the expiration of 10 years from the date it is granted.

            6.3.4 Limitations on Grants to 10 Percent Shareholders. An Incentive
Stock Option may be granted under the Plan to an employee of the Company, or of
any parent or subsidiary of the Company, possessing more than 10 percent of the
total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, or of any
parent or subsidiary of the Company, only if the option price is at least 110
percent of the fair market value of the Stock subject to the option on the date
it is granted, and the option by its terms is not exercisable after the
expiration of five years from the date it is granted.

            6.3.5 Limitation on Time of Grant. No Incentive Stock Option may be
granted on or after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date.

      6.4 Non-Statutory Stock Options. Non-Statutory Stock Options shall be
subject to the following additional terms and conditions:

            6.4.1 Option Price. The option price per share under each option
granted under the Plan shall be determined by the Board of Directors in its
discretion.

            6.4.2 Duration of Options. Non-Statutory Stock Options granted under
the Plan shall continue in effect for the period fixed by the Board of
Directors.

      6.5 Stock Bonuses. Stock awarded as a bonus shall be subject to the terms,
conditions, and restrictions determined by the Board of Directors at the time
the Stock is awarded as a bonus. The Board of Directors may require the
recipient to sign an agreement as a condition of the award, but may not require
the recipient to pay any money consideration except as provided in the last
sentence of this paragraph. The agreement may contain such terms, conditions,
representations, and warranties as the Board of Directors may require. The
Company may require any recipient of a Stock bonus to pay to the Company amounts
necessary to satisfy any applicable federal, state, or local tax withholding
requirements prior to delivery of certificates.

      6.6 Stock Appreciation Rights.

            6.6.1 Description. Each stock appreciation right shall entitle the
holder, on exercise, to receive from the Company in exchange therefor an amount
equal in value to the excess of the fair market value on the date of exercise of
one share of Stock over its fair market value on the date of grant (or, in the
case of a stock appreciation right granted in connection with an option, the
option price per share under the option to which the stock appreciation right
relates), multiplied by the number of shares covered by the stock appreciation
right or the option, or portion thereof, that is surrendered.

<PAGE>

            6.6.2 Exercise. A stock appreciation right shall be exercisable only
at the time or times established by the Board of Directors. If a stock
appreciation right is granted in connection with an option, then it shall be
exercisable only to the extent and on the same conditions that the related
option is exercisable. Upon exercise of a stock appreciation right, any option
or portion thereof to which the stock appreciation right relates must be
surrendered unexercised.

            6.6.3 Payment. Payment by the Company upon exercise of a stock
appreciation right may be made in shares of Stock valued at fair market value,
or in cash, or partly in Stock and partly in cash, as determined by the Board of
Directors. No fractional shares shall be issued upon exercise of a stock
appreciation right. In lieu thereof, cash may be paid in an amount equal to the
value of the fraction or, in the discretion of the Board of Directors, the
number of shares may be rounded to the next whole share.

            6.6.4 Adjustment. In the event of any adjustment pursuant to
paragraph 9 in the number of shares of Stock subject to an option granted under
the Plan, any stock appreciation right granted hereunder in connection with such
option shall be proportionately adjusted.

      6.7 Cash Bonus Rights.

            6.7.1 Grant. The Board of Directors may grant bonus rights under the
Plan in connection with: (i) an option or stock appreciation right granted or
previously granted, and (ii) Stock awarded, or previously awarded, as a bonus.
Bonus rights will be subject to such rules, terms, and conditions as the Board
of Directors may prescribe.

            6.7.2 Bonus Rights in Connection with Options and Stock Appreciation
Rights. A bonus right granted in connection with an option will entitle an
optionee to a cash bonus when the related option is exercised (or is surrendered
in connection with the exercise of a stock appreciation right related to the
option) in whole or in part. A bonus right granted in connection with a stock
appreciation right will entitle the holder to a cash bonus when the stock
appreciation right is exercised. Upon exercise of an option, the amount of the
bonus shall be determined by multiplying the excess of the total fair market
value of the shares to be acquired upon the exercise over the total option price
for the shares by the applicable bonus percentage. Upon exercise of a stock
appreciation right, the bonus shall be determined by multiplying the total fair
market value of the shares or cash received pursuant to the exercise of the
stock appreciation right by the applicable bonus percentage. The bonus
percentage applicable to a bonus right shall be determined from time to time by
the Board of Directors but shall in no event exceed 100 percent.

            6.7.3 Bonus Rights in Connection with Stock Bonus. A bonus right
granted in connection with Stock awarded as a bonus will entitle the person
awarded such Stock to a cash bonus either at the time the Stock is awarded or at
such time as restrictions, if any, to which the Stock is subject lapse. If Stock
awarded is subject to restrictions and is forfeited by the holder, the bonus
right granted in connection with such Stock shall terminate and may not be
exercised. The amount of cash bonus to be awarded and the time such cash bonus
is to be paid shall be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors.

            6.7.4 Bonus Rights in Connection with Stock Purchase. A bonus right
granted in connection with Stock purchased hereunder (excluding Stock purchased
pursuant to an option) shall terminate and may not be exercised in the event the
Stock is repurchased by the Company or forfeited by the holder pursuant to
restrictions applicable to the Stock. The amount of cash bonus to be awarded and
the time such cash bonus is to be paid shall be determined from time to time by
the Board of Directors.

      7. Nontransferability. Each option, stock appreciation right, or cash
bonus right granted under the Plan by its terms shall be nonassignable and
nontransferable by the holder except by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution of the state or country of the holder's domicile at the time of
death, and each option, stock

<PAGE>

appreciation right, or cash bonus right by its terms shall be exercisable during
the holder's lifetime only by the holder.

      8. Termination of Employment.

      8.1 Retirement or General Termination. Unless otherwise determined by the
Board of Directors, if an employee's employment by the Company or by any parent
or subsidiary of the Company is terminated by retirement or for any reason other
than in the circumstances specified in 8.2 below, any option, stock appreciation
right or cash bonus right held by the employee may be exercised at any time
prior to its expiration date or the expiration of three months after the date of
the termination, whichever is the shorter period, but only if and to the extent
the employee was entitled to exercise the option, stock appreciation right or
cash bonus right on the date of termination. The transfer of an employee by the
Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company to the Company or any parent
or subsidiary of the Company shall not be considered a termination for purposes
of the Plan.

      8.2 Death or Disability. Unless otherwise determined by the Board of
Directors, if an employee's employment by the Company or by any parent or
subsidiary of the Company is terminated because of death or physical disability
(within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), any option, stock
appreciation right or cash bonus right held by the employee may be exercised at
any time prior to its expiration date or the expiration of one year after the
date of termination, whichever is the shorter period, for the greater of (a),
the number of remaining shares for which the employee was entitled to exercise
the option, stock appreciation right or cash bonus right on the date of
termination or (b) the number of remaining shares for which the employee would
have been entitled to exercise the option, stock appreciation right or cash
bonus right if such option or right had been 50 percent exercisable on the date
of termination. If an employee's employment is terminated by death, any option,
stock appreciation right or cash bonus right held by the employee shall be
exercisable only by the person or persons to whom the employee's rights under
the option, stock appreciation right or cash bonus right pass by the employee's
will or by the laws of descent and distribution of the state or country of the
employee's domicile at the time of death.

      8.3 Termination of Unexercised Rights. To the extent an option, stock
appreciation right or cash bonus right held by any deceased employee or by any
employee whose employment is terminated is not exercised within the limited
periods provided above, all further rights to exercise the option, stock
appreciation right or cash bonus right shall terminate at the expiration of such
periods.

      8.4 Termination of Non-Employees. With respect to options, stock
appreciation rights and cash bonus rights granted to persons who are not
employees of the Company or its parents or subsidiaries, the Board of Directors
may establish provisions relating to the termination of those persons' status
with the Company or its parents or subsidiaries.

      9. Changes in Capital Structure. If the outstanding shares of Stock are
increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a different number or
kind of shares or other securities of the Company or of another corporation, by
reason of any reorganization, merger, consolidation, plan of exchange,
recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, combination of shares, or
dividends payable in shares, appropriate adjustment shall be made by the Board
of Directors in the number and kind of shares for the purchase of which options
or stock appreciation rights may be granted and for which Stock may be awarded
as bonuses subject to restrictions under the Plan. In addition, the Board of
Directors shall make appropriate adjustments in the number and kind of shares as
to which outstanding options, or portions thereof then unexercised, shall be
exercisable, and the number and kind of shares covered by outstanding stock
appreciation rights to the end that each optionee's proportionate interest shall
be maintained as before the occurrence of such event. Adjustments in outstanding
options shall be made without change in the total price applicable to the
unexercised portion of any option and with a corresponding adjustment in the
option price per share. Adjustments in outstanding stock appreciation rights
shall be made without change in their total value. Any such adjustment made by
the Board of Directors

<PAGE>

shall be conclusive. In the event of dissolution or liquidation of the Company
or a merger, consolidation, or plan of exchange affecting the Company, in lieu
of making adjustments as provided for above in this paragraph 9, the Board of
Directors may, in its sole discretion, provide a 30-day period prior to such
event during which optionees shall have the right to exercise options or stock
appreciation rights.

      10. Corporate Mergers, Acquisitions, Etc. The Board of Directors may grant
options and stock appreciation rights having terms and provisions which vary
from those specified in this Plan provided that any options and stock
appreciation rights granted pursuant to this section are granted in substitution
for, or in connection with the assumption of, existing options and stock
appreciation rights granted by another corporation and assumed or otherwise
agreed to be provided for by the Company pursuant to or by reason of a
transaction involving a corporate merger, consolidation, acquisition of property
or stock, separation, reorganization or liquidation to which the Company or a
parent or subsidiary is a party.

      11. Amendment of Plan. The Board of Directors may amend the Plan in such
respects as it deems advisable because of changes in the law while the Plan is
in effect or for any other reason. Such amendments may include, without
limitation, an increase in the total number of shares that may be issued under
the Plan, and changes to the classes of persons eligible to receive awards or
grants under the Plan. No amendment to the Plan shall be made without
shareholder approval if such approval is necessary to comply with any regulatory
requirement, or if the Board of Directors deems the submission of the amendment
to shareholders for approval is desirable or appropriate. Without limitation of
the foregoing, shareholder approval shall be required for any amendment
increasing the total number of shares that may be issued under the Plan. Except
as may be required by applicable law, no amendment to the Plan shall affect or
change an option or stock appreciation right granted to any person prior to such
amendment without the written consent of such person.

      12. Prior Plans. The Plan supersedes and replaces any prior plans of the
Company permitting or relating to the award of stock options, the grant of stock
bonuses, or the issuance of any other kinds of stock-based incentive
compensation described in the Plan; provided, that the adoption and approval of
the Plan shall not affect grants and awards made under any such prior plans or
the rights of recipients of such grants and awards, all of which such prior
grants and awards shall be and are deemed affirmed and ratified.

      13. Approvals. The obligations of the Company under the Plan may be
subject to the approval of state and federal authorities or agencies with
jurisdiction in the matter. The Company will use its best efforts to take steps
required by state or federal law or applicable regulations in connection with
the granting of any option or the issuance or sale of any shares under the Plan.
The foregoing notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated to issue or
deliver shares of Stock under the Plan if the Company is advised by its legal
counsel that such issuance or delivery would violate applicable state or federal
laws.

      14. Employment Rights. Nothing in the Plan or any grant or award made
pursuant to the Plan shall confer on any employee any right to be continued in
the employment of the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company, or
shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any parent or
subsidiary of the Company by whom such employee is employed to terminate such
employee's employment at any time, with or without cause.

      15. Rights as a Shareholder. A holder of an option or a stock appreciation
right or a recipient of Stock awarded as a bonus shall have no rights as a
shareholder with respect to any shares covered by any option, stock appreciation
right, or bonus award until the date of issue of a stock certificate to him or
her for such shares. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, no adjustment
shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior
to the date such stock certificate is issued.

           Date of Adoption by Board of Directors: February 19, 1999.

                   Shareholder Approval Date: April 16, 1999.

            agreement or other borrowing of the Borrowers.

      Agent, acting on behalf of the Lenders, may, at its option, lend under
this Section 2 upon the telephone request of a person previously authorized (in
a writing delivered to the Agent) by the applicable Borrower to make such
requests and, in the event Agent, acting on behalf of the Lenders, makes any
such Advance upon a telephone request, the requesting officer shall fax to
Agent, on the same day as such telephone request, a Request for Advance.
Borrowers hereby authorize Agent to disburse Advances under this Section 2.3
pursuant to the telephone instructions of any person purporting to be a person
identified by name on a written list of persons authorized by Borrowers and
delivered to Agent prior to the date of such request to make Requests for
Advance on behalf of the Borrowers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Borrower
acknowledges that each Borrower (i) shall bear all risk of loss resulting from
disbursements made upon any telephone request, and (ii) shall indemnify the
Lenders for all losses caused by their good faith reliance on any telephone
request. Each telephone request for an Advance shall constitute a certification
of the matters set forth in the Request for Revolving Credit Advance form as of
the date of such requested Advance.

      2.4 Disbursement of Advances.

            (a) Upon receiving any Request for Revolving Credit Advance from a
      Borrower under Section 2.3 hereof, Agent shall promptly notify each Lender
      by wire, or telephone (confirmed by wire or telecopy) of the amount of
      such Advance to be made and the date such Advance is to be made by said
      Lender pursuant to its Percentage of such Advance. Unless such Lender's
      commitment to make Advances of the Revolving Credit hereunder shall have
      been suspended or terminated in accordance with this Agreement, each such
      Lender shall make available the amount of its Percentage of each Advance
      in immediately available funds to Agent,

                  (i) for Prime-based Advances, at the office of Agent located
            at One Detroit Center, Detroit, Michigan 48226, not later than 3:00
            p.m. (Detroit time) on the date of such Advance;

                                      28
<PAGE>

                  (ii) for Eurocurrency-based Advances, at the Agent's
            Correspondent for the account of the Eurocurrency Lending Office of
            the Agent, not later than 12 noon (the time of the Agent's
            Correspondent) on the date of such Advance.

            (b) Subject to submission of an executed Request for Revolving
      Credit Advance by the applicable Borrower without exceptions noted in the
      compliance certification therein and compliance with the terms and
      conditions of this Agreement, Agent shall make available to the applicable
      Borrower the aggregate of the amounts so received by it from the Lenders
      in like funds:

                  (i) for Prime-based Advances, not later than 4:00 p.m.
            (Detroit time) on the date of such Advance by credit to an account
            of such Borrower maintained with Agent or to such other account or
            third party as such Borrower may reasonably direct; and

                  (ii) for Eurocurrency-based Advances, not later than 4:00 p.m.
            (the time of the Agent's Correspondent) on the date of such Advance,
            by credit to an account of such Borrower maintained with Agent's
            Correspondent or to such other account or third party as such
            Borrower may reasonably direct.

            (c) Agent shall deliver the documents and papers received by it for
      the account of each Lender to such Lender or upon its order. Unless Agent
      shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of any proposed
      Revolving Credit Advance that such Lender does not intend to make
      available to Agent such Lender's Percentage of such Advance, Agent may
      assume that such Lender has made such amount available to Agent on such
      date and in such currency, as aforesaid and may, in reliance upon such
      assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding
      amount. If such amount is not in fact made available to Agent by such
      Lender, as aforesaid, Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on
      demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith
      upon Agent's demand therefor, the Agent shall promptly notify Holdings,
      and the applicable Borrower shall pay such amount to Agent. Agent shall
      also be entitled to recover from such Lender or the applicable Borrower,
      as the case may be, but without duplication, interest on such amount in
      respect of each day from the date such amount was made available by Agent
      to such Borrower, to the date such amount is recovered by Agent, at a rate
      per annum equal to:

                  (i) in the case of such Lender, for the first two (2) Business
            Days such amount remains unpaid, with respect to Prime-based
            Advances, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and with respect to
            Eurocurrency-based Advances, Agent's aggregate marginal cost
            (including the cost of maintaining any required reserves or deposit
            insurance and of any fees, penalties, overdraft charges or other
            costs or expenses incurred by Agent as a result of such failure to
            deliver funds hereunder) of carrying such amount and thereafter, at
            the rate of interest then applicable to such Revolving Credit
            Advances; and

                  (ii) in the case of such Borrower, the rate of interest then
            applicable to such Advance of the Revolving Credit.

      The obligation of any Lender to make any Advance of the Revolving Credit
hereunder shall not be affected by the failure of any other Lender to make any
Advance hereunder, and no Lender shall have any liability to Holdings or any of
its Subsidiaries, the Agent, any other Lender, or any other party for another
Lender's failure to make any loan or Advance hereunder. In the event any Lender
shall fail to advance any amounts required to be advanced in accordance with the
terms of this Article 2 (a

                                      29
<PAGE>

"Defaulting Lender"), the Agent shall promptly provide written notice thereof to
the Borrowers and to each other Lender (each such other Lender being referred to
in this Section as a "Non-Defaulting Lender"). Each Non-Defaulting Lender shall
have ten (10) Business Days from receipt of said notice to exercise its option
to agree to enter into an agreement pursuant to which the Non-Defaulting Lender
shall assume the Defaulting Lender's rights and obligations under this
Agreement, its Notes and the other Loan Documents. The Non-Defaulting Lender
shall exercise such option by providing written notice of same to the Defaulting
Lender (and if there is more than one Non-Defaulting Lender, the assignment
agreement shall be entered into with the Non-Defaulting Lender who first
notifies the Defaulting Lender of its decision to exercise said option) and to
Borrowers. If no Non-Defaulting Lender shall exercise the above-described option
within the said ten (10) Business Day period, (X) Borrowers may, subject to
Section 13.8(c) hereof, within thirty (30) days of the delivery of the notice
described above, advise such Defaulting Lender of another bank or financial
institution to which assignments are permitted pursuant to Section 13.8(c)
hereof and which is willing to assume such Defaulting Lender's rights and
obligations under this Agreement, its Notes and the other Loan Documents (each
such bank or financial institution being hereinafter referred to as a "Potential
Financial Institution"), whereupon such Defaulting Lender shall, subject to
Section 13.8(c), assign its said rights and obligations to the Potential
Financial Institution and (Y) at any time following the passage of thirty (30)
days after delivering the notice described above, Agent may, at its option,
reduce the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment by an amount equal to the
amount of such Defaulting Lender's Percentage, it being understood that after
such a reduction, the Borrowers shall comply with the requirements of Section
2.14(a) of this Agreement, if applicable, and provided that any assignment or
reduction pursuant to clauses (X) and (Y) of this Section 2.4 shall not alter
Borrowers' remedies vis a vis the Defaulting Lender.

      2.5 Swing Line Advances.

            (a) Advances. The Swing Line Lender shall, on the terms and subject
      to the conditions hereinafter set forth (including without limitation
      Section 2.5(c) hereof), make one or more Advances (each such advance being
      a "Swing Line Advance") to any Borrower (provided that any Borrower
      requesting Swing Line Advances hereunder has become a party to this
      Agreement, either by execution and delivery of this Agreement or by
      complying with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.1(a)
      hereof), from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the
      date hereof to (but excluding) the Revolving Credit Maturity Date an
      amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the Swing Line Maximum
      Amount. Swing Line Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual
      practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of each of the
      Borrowers to Swing Line Lender resulting from each Swing Line Advance of
      such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and
      interest payable thereon and paid to such Lender from time to time. The
      entries made in such account or accounts of Swing Line Lender shall, to
      the extent permitted by applicable law, be conclusive evidence, absent
      manifest error, of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the
      Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of Swing
      Line Lender to maintain such account, as applicable, or any error therein,
      shall not in any manner affect the obligation of each Borrower to repay
      the Swing Line Advances (and all other amounts owing with respect thereto)
      made to such Borrower by Swing Line Lender in accordance with the terms of
      this Agreement. Advances, repayments and readvances under the Swing Line
      may be made, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Each
      Swing Line Advance shall mature and the principal amount thereof shall be
      due and payable by the applicable Borrower on the last day of the Interest
      Period applicable thereto (if any) and, in the case of any Prime-based
      Advance, on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

      The Borrowers agree that, upon the written request of Swing Line Lender
      (with a copy to Holdings), each of the Borrowers will execute and deliver
      to Swing Line Lender Swing Line

                                      30
<PAGE>

      Notes; provided, that the delivery of such Swing Line Notes shall not be a
      condition precedent to the Effective Date.

            (b) Accrual of Interest. Each Swing Line Advance shall, from time to
      time after the date of such Advance, bear interest at its Applicable
      Interest Rate. The amount and date of each Swing Line Advance, its
      Applicable Interest Rate, its Interest Period, if any, and the amount and
      date of any repayment shall be noted on Swing Line Lender's account
      maintained pursuant to Section 2.5(a), which records will be conclusive
      evidence thereof, absent manifest error; provided, however, that any
      failure by the Swing Line Lender to record any such information shall not
      relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to repay the outstanding
      principal amount of such Advance, all interest accrued thereon and any
      amount payable with respect thereto in accordance with the terms of this
      Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

            (c) Requests for Swing Line Advances. A Borrower may request a Swing
      Line Advance only after delivery to Swing Line Lender of a Request for
      Swing Line Advance executed by a person authorized (in a writing a copy of
      which has been previously delivered to the Agent) by the applicable
      Borrower to make such requests, subject to the following and to the
      remaining provisions hereof:

                  (i) each such Request for Swing Line Advance shall set forth
            the information required on the Request for Advance form annexed
            hereto as Exhibit D, including without limitation:

                        (A) the proposed date of such Swing Line Advance, which
                  must be a Business Day;

                        (B) whether such Swing Line Advance is to be a
                  Prime-based Advance or a Quoted Rate Advance, and;

                        (C) in the case of a Quoted Rate Advance, the duration
                  of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

                  (ii) in the case of any Borrower requesting any Swing Line
            Advance, after giving effect to all Swing Line Advances requested by
            any Borrower on such date of determination, the aggregate principal
            amount of all outstanding Swing Line Advances on such date shall not
            exceed the Swing Line Maximum Amount;

                  (iii) as to any Borrower, after giving effect to all Swing
            Line Advances requested by any such Borrower on such date of
            determination, the sum of (i) of the aggregate outstanding principal
            amount of all Advances of the Revolving Credit and of the Swing Line
            hereunder to such Borrower on such date plus (ii) the aggregate
            outstanding amount of Letter of Credit Obligations for the account
            of such Borrower on such date shall not exceed the Borrower Sublimit
            applicable to such Borrower;

                  (iv) in the case of any Borrower requesting any Swing Line
            Advance, on the proposed date of such Swing Line Advance, after
            giving effect to all Advances and Letters of Credit requested by any
            Borrower on such date of determination, the sum of (x) of the
            aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Advances of the
            Revolving Credit and of the Swing Line on such date plus (y) the
            aggregate outstanding amount of Letter of Credit Obligations on such
            date shall not exceed the lesser of (a) the then applicable
            Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment and (b) the Borrowing Base;

                                      31
<PAGE>

                  (v) the principal amount of the initial funding of such
            Advance, as opposed to any refunding or conversion thereof, shall be
            at least One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) or such lesser
            amount as shall be agreed to by Swing Line Lender;

                  (vi) each such Request for Swing Line Advance shall be
            delivered to the Swing Line Lender by 2:00 p.m. (Detroit time) on
            the proposed date of the Advance;

                  (vii) each Request for Swing Line Advance, once delivered to
            Swing Line Lender, shall be irrevocable by the Borrowers, and shall
            constitute and include a certification by the applicable Borrower as
            of the date thereof that:

                        (A) both before and after such Swing Line Advance, the
                  obligations of the Borrowers and Guarantors set forth in this
                  Agreement and the other Loan Documents, are valid, binding and
                  enforceable obligations of the Borrowers and Guarantors;

                        (B) all conditions to the making of Swing Line Advances
                  have been satisfied (both before and after giving effect to
                  such Advance);

                        (C) both before and after the making of such Swing Line
                  Advance, there is no Default or Event of Default in existence;
                  and

                        (D) both before and after such Swing Line Advance, the
                  representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and
                  the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material
                  respects.

      At the option of the Swing Line Lender, subject to revocation by Swing
Line Lender at any time and from time to time, Borrowers may utilize the Swing
Line Bank's "Sweep to Loan" automated system for obtaining Swing Line Advances.
Each time a Swing Line Advance is made using the "Sweep to Loan" system,
Borrowers shall be deemed to have certified to the Swing Line Lender and the
Lenders each of the matters set forth in clause (vii) of this Section 2.5(c).
Swing Line Lenders may revoke the Borrowers' privilege to use the "Sweep to
Loan" system at any time and from time to time for any reason and, immediately
upon any such revocation, the "Sweep to Loan" system shall no longer be
available to the Borrowers for the funding of Swing Line Advances hereunder (or
otherwise) and the regular procedures set forth for the making of Swing Line
Advances shall be deemed immediately to apply. Swing Line Lender may, at its
option, also elect to make Swing Line Advances upon a Borrower's telephone
requests on the basis set forth in the succeeding paragraph, provided that the
Borrowers comply with the provisions set forth in Section 2.5.

      Swing Line Lender may, at its option, lend under this Section 2.5(c) upon
the telephone request of an authorized officer of a Borrower and, in the event
Swing Line Lender makes any such Advance upon a telephone request, the
requesting officer shall, if so requested by Swing Line Lender, fax to Swing
Line Lender, on the same day as such telephone request, a Request for Swing Line
Advance. Borrowers hereby authorize Swing Line Lender to disburse Advances under
this Section 2.5(c) pursuant to the telephone instructions of any person
purporting to be a person identified by name on a written list of persons
authorized by each Borrower to make Requests for Advance on behalf of the
Borrowers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers acknowledge that the
Borrowers shall bear all risk of loss resulting from disbursements made upon any
telephone request. Each telephone request for an Advance shall constitute a
certification of the matters set forth in the Request for Swing Line Advance
form as of the date of such requested Advance. Swing Line Lender shall promptly
deliver to Agent by telecopy a copy of any Request for Advance received
hereunder.

                                      32

            (d) Disbursement of Swing Line Advances. Subject to submission of an
      executed Request for Swing Line Advance by a Borrower without exceptions
      noted in the compliance certification therein and to the other terms and
      conditions hereof, Swing Line Lender shall make available to the
      applicable Borrower the amount so requested, in like funds and currencies,
      not later than 4:00 p.m. (Detroit time) on the date of such Advance by
      credit to an account of the applicable Borrower maintained with Agent or
      to such other account or third party as the Borrower may reasonably direct
      in writing; and

      Swing Line Lender shall promptly notify Agent of any Swing Line Advance by
telephone or telecopier.

            (e) Refunding of or Participation Interest in Swing Line Advances.

                  (i) The Agent, at any time in its sole and absolute
            discretion, may on behalf of the applicable Borrower (each of which
            hereby irrevocably directs the Agent to act on its behalf) request
            each of the Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender in its capacity
            as a Lender) to make an Advance of the Revolving Credit to each of
            the Borrowers, in an amount equal to such Lender's Percentage of the
            principal amount of the aggregate Swing Line Advances outstanding to
            each such party on the date such notice is given (the "Refunded
            Swing Line Advances"). The applicable Advance of the Revolving
            Credit used to refund such Swing Line Advance shall be a Prime-based
            Advance. In connection with the making of any such Refunded Swing
            Line Advances or the purchase of a participation interest in Swing
            Line Advances under Section 2.5(e)(ii) hereof, the Swing Line Lender
            shall retain its claim against the applicable Borrower for any
            unpaid interest or fees in respect thereof. Unless any of the events
            described in Section 9.1(k) hereof shall have occurred (in which
            event the procedures of subparagraph (ii) of this Section 2.5(e)
            shall apply) and regardless of whether the conditions precedent set
            forth in this Agreement to the making of an Advance of the Revolving
            Credit are then satisfied but subject to Section 2.5(e)(iii), each
            Lender shall make the proceeds of its Advance of the Revolving
            Credit available to the Agent for the benefit of the Swing Line
            Lender at the office of the Agent specified in Section 2.4(a) hereof
            prior to 11:00 a.m. Detroit time on the Business Day next succeeding
            the date such notice is given in immediately available funds. The
            proceeds of such Advances of the Revolving Credit shall be
            immediately applied to repay the Refunded Swing Line Advances in
            accordance with the provisions of Section 10.1 hereof.

                  (ii) If, prior to the making of an Advance of the Revolving
            Credit pursuant to subparagraph (i) of this Section 2.5(e), one of
            the events described in Section 9.1(k) hereof shall have occurred,
            each Lender will, on the date such Advance of the Revolving Credit
            was to have been made, purchase from the Swing Line Lender an
            undivided participating interest in each Refunded Swing Line Advance
            in an amount equal to its Percentage of such Refunded Swing Line
            Advance. Each Lender within the time periods specified in Section
            2.5(e)(i) hereof, as applicable, shall immediately transfer to the
            Agent, in immediately available funds the amount of its
            participation and upon receipt thereof the Agent will deliver to
            such Lender a Swing Line Participation Certificate in the form of
            Exhibit F evidencing such participation.

                  (iii) Each Lender's obligation to make Advances of the
            Revolving Credit and to purchase participation interests in
            accordance with clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.5(e) shall be
            absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
            circumstance, including, without limitation, (1) any set-off,
            counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other

                                      33
<PAGE>

            right which such Lender may have against Swing Line Lender, the
            Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (2) the
            occurrence or continuance of any Default or Event of Default; (3)
            any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any
            Borrower or any other Person; (4) any breach of this Agreement by
            any Borrower or any other Person; (5) any inability of the Borrowers
            to satisfy the conditions precedent to borrowing set forth in this
            Agreement on the date upon which such participating interest is to
            be purchased; (6) the termination of the Revolving Credit Aggregate
            Commitment; or (7) any other circumstance, happening or event
            whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. If any
            Lender does not make available to the Agent the amount required
            pursuant to clause (1) or (2) above, as the case may be, the Agent
            shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender,
            together with interest thereon for each day from the date of
            non-payment until such amount is paid in full (x) for the first two
            (2) Business Days such amount remains unpaid, at the Federal Funds
            Effective Rate and (y) thereafter, at the rate of interest then
            applicable to such Swing Line Advances.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be required, except in the
case of Swing Line Advances deemed to have been made pursuant to Sections 3.6(a)
and 3.6(c) hereof, to make any Revolving Credit Advance to refund a Swing Line
Advance or to purchase a participation in a Swing Line Advance if prior to the
making of the Swing Line Advance by the Swing Line Lender, the Agent had
obtained actual knowledge that an Event of Default had occurred and was
continuing; provided, however that the obligation of the Lenders to make such
Revolving Credit Advances shall be reinstated upon the date of which such Event
of Default has been waived by the requisite Lenders, as applicable.

      2.6 Prime-based Interest Payments. Interest on the unpaid balance of all

immediately available funds quarterly commencing on the first day of Holdings'
fiscal quarter next succeeding the calendar quarter during which the initial
Advance of the Revolving Credit or Swing Line Advance, as the case may be, is
made and on the first day of each fiscal quarter thereafter. Interest accruing
at the Prime-based Rate shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year and
assessed for the actual number of days elapsed, and in such computation effect
shall be given to any change in the interest rate resulting from a change in the
Prime-based Rate on the date of such change in the Prime-based Rate.

      applicable thereto (and, if any Interest Period shall exceed three months,
      then on the last Business Day of the third month of such Interest Period,
      and at three month intervals thereafter). Interest accruing at the
      Eurocurrency-based Rate shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year
      and assessed for the actual number of days elapsed from the first day of
      the Interest Period applicable thereto to but not including the last day
      thereof.

            (b) Interest on each Quoted Rate Advance of the Swing Line shall
      accrue at its Quoted Rate and shall be payable in immediately available
      funds on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. Interest
      accruing at a Quoted Rate shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year
      and assessed for the actual number of days elapsed from the first day of
      the Interest Period applicable thereto to, but not including, the last day
      thereof.

      Eurocurrency-based Advance (subject to not less than two (2) Business
      Days' notice to Agent) provided that the minimum amount of any such
      partial prepayment shall be One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), and, after
      giving effect to any such partial prepayment, the unpaid portion of such
      Advance which is refunded or converted under Section 2.3 hereof shall be a

      that if the prepayment of a Eurocurrency-based Advance is made on a day

      prepayment of a Quoted Rate Advance is made on a day other than the last
      Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Quoted
      Rate Advance, then, pursuant to Section 11.1, the applicable Borrower
      shall compensate the Swing Line Lenders for any losses.

            (c) Any prepayment made in accordance with this Section shall be

deemed to have elected to convert such Eurocurrency-based Advance into a
Prime-based Advance effective as of the expiration date of such Interest Period,
and (b) subject to Sections 2.9 and

                                      35
<PAGE>

11.1 hereof, if a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, then the principal amount of any Eurocurrency-based Advance which
has not been prepaid shall, absent a contrary election of the Majority Lenders,
be converted at Agent's option to a Prime-based Advance and the Agent shall
thereafter promptly notify such Borrower of said action.

      2.13 Revolving Credit Facility Fee. From the Effective Date to the
Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for
distribution to the Lenders, pro rata in accordance with their respective
Percentages, a Revolving Credit Facility Fee on the Revolving Credit Aggregate
Commitment (determined without regard to usage thereof). The Revolving Credit
Facility Fee shall be equal to the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment
multiplied by the Applicable Fee Percentage computed on a daily basis. The
Revolving Credit Facility Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears commencing
on the first day of the fiscal quarter immediately following the fiscal quarter
ending on or about January 31, 2005 (in respect of the prior quarter or portion
thereof) and on the first day of each fiscal quarter thereafter. The Revolving
Credit Facility Fee shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred
sixty (360) days and assessed for the actual number of days elapsed. Upon
receipt of such payment, Agent shall make prompt payment to each Lender of its
share of the Revolving Credit Facility Fee based upon its respective Percentage.
It is expressly understood that the Revolving Credit Facility Fees described in
this Section are not refundable under any circumstances.

      2.14 Mandatory Reduction of Indebtedness.

            (a) If at any time and for any reason, the sum of (A) the aggregate
      outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Credit Advances plus (B) the
      aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Swing Line Advances plus (C)
      the aggregate outstanding amount of all Letter of Credit Obligations,
      exceeds the lesser of (i) the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment and
      (ii) the Borrowing Base (as used in this clause (a), the "Excess"), the
      Borrowers shall immediately repay the Indebtedness by the amount of such
      Excess, and/or reduce any pending request for an Advance on such day by
      the amount of the Excess.

            (b) If at any time and for any reason with respect to any Borrower,
      the aggregate principal amount (tested in the manner set forth in clause
      (a) above) of all Advances outstanding hereunder to such Borrower, plus
      the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Obligations for the account
      of such Borrower (tested in the manner set forth in clause (a) above),
      exceeds the Borrower Sublimit applicable to such Borrower (as used in this
      clause (b), the "Excess"), then in each case, such Borrower shall

                  (i) immediately repay that portion of the Indebtedness
            outstanding to such Borrower then carried as a Prime-based Advance,
            if any, by the amount of such Excess, and/or reduce on such day any
            pending request for an Advance submitted by such Borrower by the
            amount of such Excess, to the extent thereof; and

                  (ii) on the last day of each Interest Period of any
            Eurocurrency-based Advance outstanding to such Borrower as of such
            time, until the necessary reductions of Indebtedness under this
            Section 2.14(b) have been fully made, repay such Indebtedness
            carried in such Advances and/or reduce any requests for refunding or
            conversion of such Advances submitted (or to be submitted) by such
            Borrower in respect of such Advances, by the amount of such Excess,
            to the extent thereof.

            (a) Immediately upon receipt by Holdings or any Subsidiary of any
      Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale not permitted by Section 8.5(a),
      (b), (c) or (d) (other than the sale of any asset or assets, in a single
      transaction or series of transactions, with a value less than $1,000,000)
      or from any Permitted Securitization, Borrowers shall repay (or cause to
      be repaid) the Revolving Credit Advances and Swing Line Advances then
      outstanding by an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net
      Cash Proceeds, until such Advances have been repaid in full; provided,
      however, that (x) in the case of Asset Sales permitted under Section
      8.5(e), such Borrower or Subsidiary may use all or any portion of the Net
      Cash Proceeds of such Asset Sale to purchase replacement assets used or to
      be used by such Borrower or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, in the
      business as permitted under Section 7.4(a) so long as (i) no Default or
      Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) each such purchase
      is made within 180 days following the date of such Asset Sale and (iii)
      such Borrower or Subsidiary delivers to the Agent, concurrently with or
      prior to the date of such Asset Sale, a certificate of an authorized
      officer of such Borrower or such Subsidiary stating that such Net Cash
      Proceeds will be so used and (y) if such Asset Sale consists of real
      property subject to the Lien of the Permitted Real Estate Lender, the Net
      Cash Proceeds of such sale may be applied to prepay or pay the Permitted
      Real Estate Debt, provided that any Net Cash Proceeds in excess of the
      amounts required to prepay the Permitted Real Estate Debt pursuant to the
      terms of the Permitted Real Estate Debt Documents shall be applied as
      required under this Section 2.15(a) and (z) except to the extent used to
      purchase replacement assets in compliance with clause (x) of this proviso,
      or not required to be applied in compliance with clause (y) of this
      proviso, in each case, such Borrower shall comply or such Subsidiary shall
      comply with the mandatory prepayments provisions of this Section 2.15(a).

            (b) Immediately upon receipt by Holdings or any Subsidiary of the
      Net Cash Proceeds of the issuance of any Equity Interests of Holdings or
      such Subsidiary or of any Subordinated Debt or Permitted Real Estate Debt
      issued by Holdings or any Subsidiary on or after the Effective Date,
      Borrowers shall repay the Revolving Advances and Swing Line Advances then
      outstanding by an amount equal to (i) one hundred percent (100%) of such
      Net Cash Proceeds in the case of the issuance of Subordinated Debt or of
      Permitted Real Estate Debt and (ii) fifty percent (50%) of such Net Cash
      Proceeds in the case of the issuance of Equity Interests until such
      Advances have been paid in full.

            (c) To the extent that, on the date any mandatory repayment of the
      Revolving Advances under this Section 2.15 is due, the Indebtedness under
      the Revolving Credit or any other Indebtedness to be prepaid is being
      carried, in whole or in part, at the Eurocurrency-based Rate and no
      Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers
      may deposit the amount of such mandatory prepayment in a cash collateral
      account to be held by the Agent, for and on behalf of the Agent and the
      Lenders (which shall be an interest-bearing account), on such terms and
      conditions as are reasonably acceptable to Agent and the Lenders. Subject
      to the terms and conditions of said cash collateral account, sums on
      deposit in said cash collateral account shall be applied (until exhausted)
      to reduce the principal balance of the Revolving Credit on the last day of
      each Interest Period attributable to the Eurocurrency-based Advances of
      such Revolving Advance. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
      herein, amounts repaid under this Section 2.15 may be immediately
      reborrowed pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof.

            (d) Upon the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds as described in this
      Section 2.15 (except from the issuance of the Permitted Real Estate Debt),
      the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment shall be reduced by the amount
      of such Net Cash Proceeds. Any such reduction shall reduce each Lender's
      portion of the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment proportionately
      (based on the applicable Percentages) and shall be permanent and
      irrevocable.

                                      37

      2.16 Optional Reduction or Termination of Revolving Credit Aggregate
Commitment. Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Borrowers may upon at least five Business Days' prior written
notice to the Agent, permanently reduce the Revolving Credit Aggregate
Commitment in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, without premium
or penalty, provided that: (i) each partial reduction of the Revolving Credit
Aggregate Commitment shall be in an aggregate amount equal to Five Million
Dollars ($5,000,000) or a larger integral multiple of One Million Dollars
($1,000,000); (ii) each reduction shall be accompanied by the payment of the
Revolving Credit Facility Fee, if any, accrued to the date of such reduction;
(iii) the applicable Borrower shall prepay in accordance with the terms hereof
the amount, if any, by which the amount of the aggregate unpaid principal amount
of Advances outstanding hereunder, plus the amount of the aggregate undrawn
amount of outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations, exceeds the amount of the
then applicable Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment as so reduced, together
with interest thereon to the date of prepayment, and no reduction shall reduce
the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment to an amount which is less than the
Swing Line Maximum Amount; and (iv) no reduction shall reduce the Revolving
Credit Aggregate Commitment to an amount which is less than the aggregate
undrawn amount of any Letters of Credit outstanding at such time; provided,
however, that if the termination or reduction of the Revolving Credit Aggregate
Commitment requires the prepayment of a Eurocurrency-based Advance or a Quoted
Rate Advance and such termination or reduction is made on a day other than the
last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such
Eurocurrency-based Advance or such Quoted Rate Advance, then, pursuant to
Section 11.1, the applicable Borrower shall compensate the Lenders for any
losses. Reductions of the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment and any
accompanying prepayments of Advances of the Revolving Credit shall be
distributed by Agent to each Lender in accordance with such Lender's Percentage
thereof, and will not be available for reinstatement by or readvance to any
Borrower. Any reductions of the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment hereunder
shall reduce each Lender's portion thereof proportionately (based on the
applicable Percentages) and shall be permanent and irrevocable. Any payments
made pursuant to this Section shall be applied first to outstanding Prime-based
Advances under the Revolving Credit, next to Swing Line Advances carried at the
Prime-based Rate, next to Eurocurrency-based Advances of the Revolving Credit
and then to Swing Line Advances carried at the Quoted Rate.

      2.17 Extension of Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

            (a) Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
      continuing, Borrowers may, by written notice to Agent (with sufficient
      copies for each Lender) (which notice shall be irrevocable and which shall
      not be deemed effective unless actually received by Agent) prior to March
      1 but not before February 1 of each year beginning in 2006, request that
      the Lenders extend the then applicable Revolving Credit Maturity Date to a
      date that is one year later than the Revolving Credit Maturity Date then
      in effect (each such request, a "Request"). Each Lender shall, not later
      than 30 days after such Request, give written notice to the Agent stating
      whether such Lender is willing to extend the Revolving Credit Maturity
      Date as requested. If Agent has received the aforesaid written approvals
      of such Request from each of the Lenders, then, effective upon the date of
      Agent's receipt of all such written approvals from the Lenders, as
      aforesaid, the Revolving Credit Maturity Date shall be so extended for
      such additional one year period, the term Revolving Credit Maturity Date
      shall mean such extended date and Agent shall promptly notify the
      Borrowers that such extension has occurred.

            (b) If (i) any Lender gives the Agent written notice that it is
      unwilling to extend the Revolving Credit Maturity Date as requested or
      (ii) any Lender fails to provide written approval to Agent of such a
      Request on or before 30 days after the applicable Request, then (w) the
      Lenders shall be deemed to have declined to extend the Revolving Credit
      Maturity Date, (x) the then-current Revolving Credit Maturity Date shall
      remain in effect (with no further right on the

                                      38
<PAGE>

      part of Borrowers to request extensions thereof under this Section 2.17),
      and (y) the commitments of the Lenders to make Advances of the Revolving
      Credit hereunder shall terminate on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date
      then in effect, and Agent shall promptly notify Borrowers thereof.

      2.18 Application of Advances. Advances of the Revolving Credit (including
Swing Line Advances) shall be available, subject to the terms hereof, to fund
working capital needs, Permitted Acquisitions, or other general corporate
purposes of the Borrowers.

respective accounts) shall pay to the Agent for distribution to the Lenders in
accordance with their Percentages, letter of credit fees as follows:

            (a) A per annum letter of credit fee with respect to the undrawn
      amount of each Letter of Credit issued pursuant hereto in the amount of
      the Applicable Fee Percentage (determined with reference to Schedule 1.1
      to this Agreement).

            (b) A letter of credit facing fee in the amount equal to the greater
      of (i) $250 and (ii) one-eighth of one percent per annum on the undrawn
      amount of each Standby Letter of Credit to be retained by Issuing Lender
      for its own account.

            (c) If any change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation
      thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration
      thereof shall either (i) impose, modify or cause to be deemed applicable
      any reserve, special deposit, limitation or similar requirement against
      letters of credit issued or participated in by, or assets held by, or
      deposits in or for the account of, Issuing Lender or any Lender or (ii)
      impose on Issuing Lender or any Lender any other condition regarding this
      Agreement, the Letters of Credit or any participations in such Letters of
      Credit, and the result of any event referred to in clause (i) or (ii)
      above shall be to increase the cost or expense to Issuing Lender or such
      Lender of issuing or maintaining or participating in any of the Letters of
      Credit (which increase in cost or expense shall be determined by the
      Issuing Lender's or such Lender's reasonable allocation of the aggregate
      of such cost increases and expenses resulting from such events), then,
      upon demand by the Issuing Lender or such Lender, as the case may be, the
      applicable Account Party shall, within thirty (30) days following demand
      for payment, pay to Issuing Lender or such Lender, as the case may be,
      from time to time as specified by the Issuing Lender or such Lender,
      additional amounts which shall be sufficient to compensate the Issuing
      Lender or such Lender for such increased cost and expense, together with
      interest on each such amount from ten days after the date demanded until
      payment in full thereof at the Prime-based Rate. A certificate as to such
      increased cost or expense incurred by the Issuing Lender or such Lender,
      as the case may be, as a result of any event mentioned in clause (i) or
      (ii) above, submitted to the applicable Account Party, shall be conclusive
      evidence, absent manifest error, as to the amount thereof.

            (d) All payments by the Borrowers to the Agent for distribution to
      the Issuing Lender or the Lenders under this Section 3.4 shall be made in
      immediately available funds at the Issuing Office or such other office of
      the Agent as may be designated from time to time by written notice to the
      Borrowers by the Agent. The fees described in clause (a) and (b) above
      shall be nonrefundable under all circumstances, shall be payable annually
      in advance (or such lesser period, if applicable, for Letters of Credit
      issued with stated expiration dates of less than one year) upon the
      issuance of each such Letter of Credit, and shall be calculated on the
      basis of a 360 day year and assessed for the actual number of days from
      the date of the issuance thereof to the stated expiration thereof.

      3.5 Other Fees. In connection with the Letters of Credit, and in addition
to the Letter of Credit Fees, the Borrowers and the applicable Account
Party(ies) shall pay, for the sole account of the

                                      41
<PAGE>

Issuing Lender, standard documentation, administration, payment and cancellation
charges assessed by Issuing Lender or the Issuing Office, at the times, in the
amounts and on the terms set forth or to be set forth from time to time in the
standard fee schedule of the Issuing Office in effect from time to time and
delivered to the relevant Account Party(ies).

      3.6 Draws and Demands for Payment Under Letters of Credit.

            (a) Borrowers and each applicable Account Party agree to pay to the
      Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender, on the day on which the
      Issuing Lender shall honor a draft or other demand for payment presented
      or made under any Letter of Credit, an amount equal to the amount paid by
      the Issuing Lender in respect of such draft or other demand under such
      Letter of Credit and all reasonable expenses paid or incurred by the
      Issuing Lender relative thereto. Unless Borrowers or the applicable
      Account Party shall have made such payment to the Agent for the account of
      the Issuing Lender on such day, upon each such payment by the Issuing
      Lender, the Agent shall be deemed to have disbursed to Borrowers or the
      applicable Account Party, and Borrowers or the applicable Account Party
      shall be deemed to have elected to substitute for its Reimbursement
      Obligation, a Prime-based Advance of the Revolving Credit from the Lenders
      in an amount equal to the amount so paid by the Issuing Lender in respect
      of such draft or other demand under such Letter of Credit. Such Advance
      shall be disbursed notwithstanding any failure to satisfy any conditions
      for disbursement of any Advance set forth in Article 2 hereof, and, to the
      extent of the Advance so disbursed, the Reimbursement Obligation of
      Borrowers or the applicable Account Party to the Agent under this Section
      3.6 shall (unless, taking into account any such deemed Advances, the
      amount of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Advances of the
      Revolving Credit and the Swing Line on such date exceed the then
      applicable Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment minus the Letter of
      Credit Maximum Amount) be deemed satisfied.

            (b) If the Issuing Lender shall honor a draft or other demand for
      payment presented or made under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender
      shall provide notice thereof to Borrowers and the applicable Account Party
      on the date such draft or demand is honored, and, to each Lender on such
      date unless Borrowers or the applicable Account Party shall have satisfied
      its Reimbursement Obligation under Section 3.6(a) hereof by payment to the
      Agent on such date. The Issuing Lender shall further use reasonable
      efforts to provide notice to Borrowers or the applicable Account Party
      prior to honoring any such draft or other demand for payment, but such
      notice, or the failure to provide such notice, shall not affect the rights
      or obligations of the Issuing Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit
      or the rights and obligations of the parties hereto, including without
      limitation the obligations of Borrowers or the applicable Account Party
      under Section 3.6(a) hereof.

            (c) Upon issuance by the Issuing Lender of each Letter of Credit
      hereunder, each Lender shall automatically acquire a pro rata
      participation interest in such Letter of Credit and each related Letter of
      Credit Payment based on its respective Percentage. Each Lender, on the
      date a draft or demand under any Letter of Credit is honored (or the next
      succeeding Business Day if the notice required to be given by Agent to the
      Lenders under Section 3.6(b) hereof is not given to the Lenders prior to
      2:00 p.m. (Detroit time) on such date of draft or demand), shall make its
      Percentage of the amount paid by the Issuing Lender, and not reimbursed by
      Borrowers or the applicable Account Party on such day, in immediately
      available funds at the principal office of the Agent for the account of
      Issuing Lender. If and to the extent such Lender shall not have made such
      pro rata portion available to the Agent, such Lender, Borrowers and the
      applicable Account Party severally agree to pay to the Issuing Lender
      forthwith on demand such amount together with interest thereon, for each
      day from the date such amount was paid by the

                                      42
<PAGE>

      Issuing Lender until such amount is so made available to the Agent at a
      per annum rate equal to the interest rate applicable during such period to
      the related Advance deemed to have been disbursed under Section 3.6(a) in
      respect of the reimbursement obligation of Holdings and the applicable
      Account Party, as set forth in Section 2.4(c)(i) or 2.4(c)(ii) hereof, as
      the case may be. If such Lender shall pay such amount to the Agent for the
      account of Issuing Lender together with such interest, such amount so paid
      shall be deemed to constitute an Advance by such Lender disbursed in
      respect of the reimbursement obligation of Borrowers or the applicable
      Account Party under Section 3.6(a) hereof for purposes of this Agreement,
      effective as of the dates applicable under said Section 3.6(a). The
      failure of any Lender to make its pro rata portion of any such amount paid
      by the Issuing Lender available to the Agent for the account of Issuing
      Lender shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make
      available its pro rata portion of such amount, but no Lender shall be
      responsible for failure of any other Lender to make such pro rata portion
      available to the Agent for the account of Issuing Lender.

            (d) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require or
      authorize any Lender to issue any Letter of Credit, it being recognized
      that the Issuing Lender shall be the sole issuer of Letters of Credit
      under this Agreement.

      3.7 Obligations Irrevocable. The obligations of the Borrowers and any
Account Party to make payments to Agent for the account of Issuing Lender or the
Lenders with respect to Letter of Credit Obligations under Section 3.6 hereof,
shall be unconditional and irrevocable and not subject to any qualification or
exception whatsoever, including, without limitation:

            (a) Any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit
      or any documentation relating to any Letter of Credit or to any
      transaction related in any way to any Letter of Credit (the "Letter of
      Credit Documents");

            (b) Any amendment, modification, waiver, consent, or any
      substitution, exchange or release of or failure to perfect any interest in
      collateral or security, with respect to or under any of the Letter of
      Credit Documents;

            (c) The existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which
      the Borrowers or any Account Party may have at any time against any
      beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any persons or
      entities for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be
      acting), the Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender or any other person
      or entity, whether in connection with any of the Letter of Credit
      Documents, the transactions contemplated herein or therein or any
      unrelated transactions;

            (d) Any draft or other statement or document presented under any
      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;

            (e) Payment by the Issuing Lender to the beneficiary under any
      Letter of Credit against presentation of documents which do not comply
      with the terms of such Letter of Credit, including failure of any
      documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to such Letter of
      Credit;

            (f) Any failure, omission, delay or lack on the part of the Agent,
      Issuing Lender or any Lender or any party to any of the Letter of Credit
      Documents to enforce, assert or exercise any right, power or remedy
      conferred upon the Agent, Issuing Lender, any Lender or any such party
      under this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any of the Letter
      of Credit

                                      43
<PAGE>

      Documents, or any other acts or omissions on the part of the Agent,
      Issuing Lender, any Lender or any such party; or

            (g) Any other event or circumstance that would, in the absence of
      this Section 3.7, result in the release or discharge by operation of law
      or otherwise of the Borrowers or any Account Party from the performance or
      observance of any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in Section
      3.6 hereof.

      No setoff, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any obligation or any
defense of any kind or nature which the Borrowers or any Account Party has or
may have against the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit shall be available
hereunder to the Borrowers or any Account Party against the Agent, Issuing
Lender or any Lender. Nothing contained in this Section 3.7 shall be deemed to
prevent the Borrowers or the Account Parties, after satisfaction in full of the
absolute and unconditional obligations of the Borrowers and the Account Parties
hereunder, from asserting in a separate action any claim, defense, set off or
other right which they (or any of them) may have against Agent, Issuing Lender
or any Lender.

      3.8 Risk Under Letters of Credit.

            (a) In the administration and handling of Letters of Credit and any
      security therefor, or any documents or instruments given in connection
      therewith, Issuing Lender shall have the sole right to take or refrain
      from taking any and all actions under or upon the Letters of Credit.

            (b) Subject to other terms and conditions of this Agreement, Issuing
      Lender shall issue the Letters of Credit and shall hold the documents
      related thereto in its own name and shall make all collections thereunder
      and otherwise administer the Letters of Credit in accordance with Issuing
      Lender's regularly established practices and procedures and will have no
      further obligation with respect thereto. In the administration of Letters
      of Credit, Issuing Lender shall not be liable for any action taken or
      omitted on the advice of counsel, accountants, appraisers or other experts
      selected by Issuing Lender with due care and Issuing Lender may rely upon
      any notice, communication, certificate or other statement from the
      Borrowers, any Account Party, beneficiaries of Letters of Credit, or any
      other Person which Issuing Lender believes to be authentic. Issuing Lender
      will, upon request, furnish the Lenders with copies of Letter of Credit
      Documents related thereto.

            (c) In connection with the issuance and administration of Letters of
      Credit and the assignments hereunder, Issuing Lender makes no
      representation and shall have no responsibility with respect to (i) the
      obligations of the Borrowers or any Account Party or the validity,
      sufficiency or enforceability of any document or instrument given in
      connection therewith, or the taking of any action with respect to same,
      (ii) the financial condition of, any representations made by, or any act
      or omission of, the Borrowers, the applicable Account Party or any other
      Person, or (iii) any failure or delay in exercising any rights or powers
      possessed by Issuing Lender in its capacity as issuer of Letters of Credit
      in the absence of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each of the
      Lenders expressly acknowledges that it has made and will continue to make
      its own evaluations of the Borrowers' and the Account Parties'
      creditworthiness without reliance on any representation of Issuing Lender
      or Issuing Lender's officers, agents and employees.

            (d) If at any time Issuing Lender shall recover any part of any
      unreimbursed amount for any draw or other demand for payment under a
      Letter of Credit, or any interest thereon, Agent or Issuing Lender, as the
      case may be, shall receive same for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders in
      accordance with their respective Percentages and shall promptly deliver to
      each Lender its share thereof, less such Lender's pro rata share of the
      costs of such recovery, including court costs and

                                      44
<PAGE>

      attorney's fees. If at any time any Lender shall receive from any source
      whatsoever any payment on any such unreimbursed amount or interest thereon
      in excess of such Lender's Percentage of such payment, such Lender will
      promptly pay over such excess to Agent, for redistribution in accordance
      with this Agreement.

      3.9 Indemnification. Each of the Borrowers and each Account Party hereby
indemnifies and agrees to hold harmless the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the
Agent, and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, to the
extent that such indemnification and agreement is not limited by applicable law,
from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or
expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever which the Lenders, the Issuing Lender
or the Agent or any such Person may incur or which may be claimed against any of
them by reason of or in connection with any Letter of Credit, and none of the
Issuing Lender, any Lender or the Agent or any of their respective officers,
directors, employees or agents shall be liable or responsible for:

            (a) the use which may be made of any Letter of Credit or for any
      acts or omissions of any beneficiary in connection therewith;

            (b) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents or of any
      endorsement thereon, even if such documents should in fact prove to be in
      any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged;

            (c) payment by the Issuing Lender to the beneficiary under any
      Letter of Credit against presentation of documents which do not strictly
      comply with the terms of any Letter of Credit (unless such payment
      resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing
      Lender), including failure of any documents to bear any reference or
      adequate reference to such Letter of Credit;

            (d) any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission,
      dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in
      connection with any Letter of Credit; or

            (e) any other event or circumstance whatsoever arising in connection
      with any Letter of Credit;

provided, however, that with respect to subparagraphs (a) through (e) hereof,
none of the Borrowers nor the Account Parties shall be required to indemnify the
Issuing Lender, the other Lenders and the Agent and such other Persons, and the
Issuing Lender shall be liable to the Borrowers and the Account Parties to the
extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or
incidental, damages suffered by any of the Borrowers and the Account Parties
which were caused by the Issuing Lender's gross negligence, willful misconduct
or wrongful honor or dishonor of any Letter of Credit after the presentation to
it by the beneficiary thereunder of a draft or other demand for payment and
other documentation strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such
Letter of Credit.

            (f) It is understood that in making any payment under a Letter of
      Credit the Issuing Lender will rely on documents presented to it under
      such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein without
      further investigation and regardless of any notice or information to the
      contrary. It is further acknowledged and agreed that Borrowers or an
      Account Party may have rights against the beneficiary or others in
      connection with any Letter of Credit with respect to which the Lenders are
      alleged to be liable and it shall be a condition of the assertion of any
      liability of the Lenders under this Section that the applicable Borrowers
      or applicable Account Party shall contemporaneously pursue all remedies in
      respect of the alleged loss against such beneficiary and any other parties
      obligated or liable in connection with such Letter of Credit and

                                      45
<PAGE>

      any related transactions; provided however that, to the extent that the
      Issuing Lender or the Lenders are finally adjudicated to have been grossly
      negligent or to have acted with willful misconduct, then the Issuing
      Lender or the Lenders, as the case may be, shall reimburse the Borrowers
      or such Account Party for the reasonable costs and expenses of pursuing
      such remedies.

      3.10 Right of Reimbursement. Each Lender agrees to reimburse the Issuing
Lender on demand, pro rata in accordance with its respective Percentage, for (i)
the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Issuing Lender to be
reimbursed by the Borrowers or any Account Party pursuant to any Letter of
Credit Agreement or any Letter of Credit, to the extent not reimbursed by the
Borrowers or any Account Party and (ii) any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, fees, reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which
may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Issuing Lender in any way
relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any
documentation or any transaction relating thereto, or any Letter of Credit
Agreement, to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers or any Account Party,
except to the extent that such liabilities, losses, costs or expenses were
incurred by Issuing Lender as a result of Issuing Lender's gross negligence or
willful misconduct or by the Issuing Lender's wrongful dishonor of any Letter of
Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary thereunder of a draft or
other demand for payment and other documentation strictly complying with the
terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit or wrongful honor of any Letter of
Credit.

      3.11 Existing Letters of Credit. The Existing Letters of Credit shall be
deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to be Letters of Credit, and each
application submitted in connection with the Existing Letters of Credit shall be
deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to be Letter of Credit Agreements. On
the Effective Date, the Issuing Lender shall be deemed automatically to have
sold and transferred, and each other Lender shall be deemed automatically,
irrevocably, and unconditionally to have purchased and received from the Issuing
Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation,
to the extent of such other Lender's Percentage, in the Existing Letters of
Credit and the applicable Letter of Credit Obligations with respect thereto and
any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. On the Effective Date,
Borrowers and any other applicable Account Party agree to pay to each Lender its
pro-rata share of an amount equal to Letter of Credit Fees which would have been
payable had such Existing Letters of Credit been issued on the Effective Date
(to the extent such Lender has not already received payment of the Letter of
Credit Fees in an amount equal to its pro-rata share on the Effective Date).

      4. MARGIN ADJUSTMENTS

      4.1 Margin Adjustments. Adjustments to the Applicable Margins and the
Applicable Fee Percentages, based on Schedule 1.1 shall be implemented on a
quarterly basis as follows:

            (a) Such adjustments shall be given prospective effect only,
      effective as to all Advances outstanding hereunder and the Applicable Fee
      Percentage, upon the date of delivery of the Financial Statements to the
      Agent under Sections 7.1(a) and 7.1(b) and the Covenant Compliance
      Certificate under Section 7.2(a) hereunder, in each case establishing
      applicability of the appropriate adjustment, in each case with no
      retroactivity or claw-back. In the event Holdings fails timely to deliver
      the Financial Statements required under Section 7.1(a) or 7.1(b) or the
      Covenant Compliance Certificate under Section 7.2(a), then from the date
      delivery to the Agent of such Financial Statements and certificate was
      required until such Financial Statements and certificate are delivered,
      the margins and fee percentages shall be at the highest level on the
      Pricing Matrix attached to this Agreement as Schedule 1.1.

                                      46
<PAGE>

            (b) From the Effective Date until the receipt of Holdings' Financial
      Statements for the fiscal quarter ending on or about October 31, 2004, the
      margins and fee percentages shall be those set forth under the Level IV
      column of the Pricing Matrix attached to this Agreement as Schedule 1.1.

Agent and the Lenders in good faith and in exchange for fair, equivalent
consideration. The capital and monies remaining in the Credit Parties and their

intends to nor does management of Credit Parties or any Subsidiary believe it
will incur debts beyond its ability to pay as they mature. None of the Credit

rendering of any service, with any Affiliate of a Credit Party or any Subsidiary
unless such transaction is otherwise permitted under this Agreement or is in the
ordinary course of such Credit Party's or such Subsidiary's business and is upon
fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to the applicable Credit Party or

with a Person not a Subsidiary and such transaction would not contravene any
financial assistance provision of applicable law.

or rental obligations of a Credit Party or such Subsidiary, as the case may be.

      8.10 Limitation on Negative Pledge Clauses. Enter into any agreement,
document or instrument which would restrict or prevent the Credit Parties and
their Subsidiaries from granting to the Agent on behalf of the Agent and the
Lenders Liens upon, security interests in and pledges of their respective assets
which are senior in priority to all other Liens, except for Permitted Liens and
any other agreements, documents or instruments pursuant to which Liens not

material terms and conditions of those documents or instruments evidencing or
otherwise related to any Debt set forth on Schedule 8.1, any Subordinated Debt,
the Senior Unsecured Debt, the Permitted Real Estate Debt or any Permitted
Securitization, or waive (or permit to be waived) any provision thereof in any

related to such Debt, any increase in the original interest rate or principal
amount, any shortening of the original amortization, any change in financial
covenants, any change in any default, remedial or other repayment terms and any
change in or waiver of conditions contained therein which are required under or
necessary for compliance with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall

      8.13 Modification of Certain Agreements. Make, permit or consent to any

creditor under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other document or
instrument in any respect and (iii) could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

      8.14 Limitation on Capital Expenditures. Make or commit to make (by way of
the acquisition of securities of a Person or otherwise) any Capital Expenditure,
except for Capital Expenditures in an aggregate amount not in excess of
$100,000,000 in any Fiscal Year. In addition, the difference between permitted
Capital Expenditures and actual Capital Expenditures at the end of any Fiscal
Year and for the year then ended may be spent during the following Fiscal Year

continuing hereunder: (a) the Agent may, and shall, upon being directed to do so
by the Majority Lenders, declare the Commitments terminated; (b) the Agent may,
and shall, upon being directed to do so by the Majority Lenders, declare the
entire unpaid principal Indebtedness, including the Notes, immediately due and
payable, without presentment, notice or demand, all of which are hereby
expressly waived by Credit Parties; (c) upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default specified in subsection 9.1(k) above and to the extent permitted by law,
and notwithstanding the lack of any declaration by Agent under preceding clause
(b), the entire unpaid principal Indebtedness shall become automatically and
immediately due and payable, and the Commitments shall be automatically and
immediately terminated; (d) the Agent shall demand immediate delivery of cash
collateral, and Borrowers and each Account Party agrees to deliver such cash
collateral upon demand, in an amount equal to the maximum amount that may be
available to be drawn at any time prior to the stated expiry of all outstanding
Letters of Credit, and (e) the Agent may, and shall, if directed to do so by the
Majority Lenders or the Lenders, as applicable (subject to the terms hereof),
exercise any remedy permitted by this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or
law.

      9.3 Rights Cumulative. No delay or failure of Agent and/or Lenders in
exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall affect such right,
power or privilege, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude

privilege. The rights of Agent and Lenders under this Agreement are cumulative
and not exclusive of any right or remedies which Lenders would otherwise have.

      9.4 Waiver by Credit Parties of Certain Laws. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, each Credit Party hereby agrees to waive, and does hereby
absolutely and irrevocably waive and relinquish the benefit and advantage of any
valuation, stay, appraisement, extension or redemption laws now existing or
which may hereafter exist, which, but for this provision, might be applicable to
any sale made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, on any claim for
interest on the Notes, or any security interest or mortgage contemplated by or
granted under or in connection with this Agreement. These waivers have been
voluntarily given, with full knowledge of the consequences thereof.

      9.5 Waiver of Defaults. No Event of Default shall be waived by the Lenders
except in a writing signed by an officer of the Agent in accordance with Section
13.11 hereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege
hereunder, nor any delay in the exercise thereof, shall preclude other or
further exercise of their rights by Agent or the Lenders. No waiver of any Event
of Default shall extend to any other or further Event of Default. No forbearance
on the part of the Agent or the Lenders in enforcing any of their rights shall
constitute a waiver of any of their rights. Credit Parties expressly agree that
this Section may not be waived or modified by the Lenders or Agent by course of
performance, estoppel or otherwise.

      9.6 Set Off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event
of Default, each Lender may at any time and from time to time, without notice to
the Credit Parties but subject to the provisions of Section 10.3 hereof (any
requirement for such notice being expressly waived by the Credit Parties), to
the extent permitted by applicable law, set off and apply against any and all of
the obligations of the Credit Parties now or hereafter existing under this
Agreement, whether owing to such Lender, any Affiliate of such Lender or any
other Lender or the Agent, any and all deposits (general or special, time or
demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any
time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Credit
Party and any property of any Credit Party from time to time in possession of
such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such deposits held or indebtedness
owing by such Lender may be contingent and unmatured and regardless of whether
any Collateral then

                                      68
<PAGE>

held by the Agent or any Lender is adequate to cover the Indebtedness. Each
Credit Party hereby grants to the Lenders and the Agent a Lien on and security
interest in all such deposits, indebtedness and property as collateral security
for the payment and performance of all of their respective obligations under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The rights of the Agent and each
Lender under this Section 9.6 are in addition to the other rights and remedies
(including, without limitation, other rights of setoff) which the Agent and such
Lender may have. Promptly following any setoff, the applicable Lender shall give
written notice to Agent and the Borrowers of the occurrence thereof.

      10. PAYMENTS, RECOVERIES AND COLLECTIONS

      10.1 Payment Procedure.

            (a) All payments by the Borrowers in respect of principal of, or
      interest on, any Advance or in respect of any Letter of Credit Obligations
      or Fees shall be made without setoff or counterclaim on the date specified
      for payment under this Agreement not later than 11:00 a.m. (Detroit time)
      in Dollars in immediately available funds to Agent, for the ratable
      account of the Lenders, at Agent's office located at One Detroit Center,
      Detroit, Michigan 48226-3289. Upon receipt of each such payment, the Agent
      shall make prompt payment to each Lender, or, in respect of
      Eurocurrency-based Advances, such Lender's Eurocurrency Lending Office, in
      like funds, of all amounts received by it for the account of such Lender.

            (b) Unless the Agent shall have been notified by Borrowers prior to
      the date on which any payment to be made by Borrowers is due that
      Borrowers do not intend to remit such payment, the Agent may, in its sole
      discretion and without obligation to do so, assume that the Borrowers have
      remitted such payment when so due and the Agent may, in reliance upon such
      assumption, make available to each Lender on such payment date an amount
      equal to such Lender's share of such assumed payment. If Borrowers have
      not in fact remitted such payment to the Agent, each Lender shall
      forthwith on demand repay to the Agent the amount of such assumed payment
      made available or transferred to such Lender, together with the interest
      thereon, in respect of each day from and including the date such amount
      was made available by the Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is
      repaid to the Agent at a rate per annum equal to (i) for Prime-based
      Advances, the Federal Funds Effective Rate (daily average), as the same
      may vary from time to time, and (ii) with respect to Eurocurrency-based
      Advances or Quoted Rate Advances, Agent's aggregate marginal cost
      (including the cost of maintaining any required reserves or deposit
      insurance and of any fees, penalties, overdraft charges or other costs or
      expenses incurred by Agent) of carrying such amount.

            (c) Subject to the definition of Interest Period, whenever any
      payment to be made hereunder shall otherwise be due on a day which is not
      a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business
      Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest, if
      any, in connection with such payment.

            (d) All payments to be made by Borrowers under this Agreement or any
      of the Notes (including without limitation payments under the Swing Line)
      shall be made without set-off or counterclaim, as aforesaid, and, subject
      to compliance by the Lenders with Section 13.13, without deduction for or
      on account of any present or future withholding or other taxes of any
      nature imposed by any Governmental Authority or of any political
      subdivision thereof or any federation or organization of which such
      Governmental Authority may at the time of payment be a member, unless
      Borrowers are compelled by law to make payment subject to such tax. In
      such event, Borrowers shall:

                                      69
<PAGE>

                  (i) pay to the Agent for Agent's own account and/or, as the
            case may be, for the account of the Lenders (and, in the case of
            Advances of the Swing Line, pay to the Swing Line Lender which
            funded such Advances) such additional amounts as may be necessary to
            ensure that the Agent and/or such Lender or Lenders receive a net
            amount equal to the full amount which would have been receivable had
            payment not been made subject to such tax; and

                  (ii) remit such tax to the relevant taxing authorities
            according to applicable law, and send to the Agent or the applicable
            Lender (including the Swing Line Lender) or Lenders, as the case may
            be, such certificates or certified copy receipts as the Agent or
            such Lender or Lenders shall reasonably require as proof of the
            payment by the Borrowers, of any such taxes payable by the
            Borrowers.

      As used herein, the terms "tax", "taxes" and "taxation" include all taxes,
levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions and withholdings and any
restrictions or conditions resulting in a charge together with interest (and any
taxes payable upon the amounts paid or payable pursuant to this Section 10.1)
thereon and fines and penalties with respect thereto which may be imposed by
reason of any violation or default with respect to the law regarding such tax.

      10.2 Application of Proceeds of Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Agreement, after an Event of Default, the proceeds of any
Collateral, together with any offsets, voluntary payments by Credit Parties or
any Subsidiary of the Credit Parties or others and any other sums received or
collected in respect of the Indebtedness, shall be applied, first, to the
Advances of the Revolving Credit, any Reimbursement Obligations and indebtedness
owed under any Interest Rate Protection Agreements on a pro rata basis (or in
such order and manner as determined by the Majority Lenders; subject, however,
to the applicable Percentages of the loans held by each of the Lenders), next,
to any other Indebtedness on a pro rata basis, and then, if there is any excess,
to the Credit Parties and the Subsidiaries, as the case may be. Subject to the
terms of this Section 10.2, the application of such proceeds and other sums to
the Advances of the Revolving Credit, the Reimbursement Obligations and under
any Interest Rate Protection Agreements shall be based on each Lender's
Percentage of the aggregate of the loans.

      10.3 Pro-rata Recovery. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or other
recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of offset or otherwise)
on account of principal of, or interest on, any of the Indebtedness in excess of
its pro rata share of payments then or thereafter obtained by all Lenders upon
principal of and interest on all Indebtedness, such Lender shall purchase from
the other Lenders such participations in the Revolving Credit, and/or
Reimbursement Obligation held by them as shall be necessary to cause such
purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably in
accordance with the Percentage with each of them; provided, however, that if all
or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered
from such purchasing holder, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase
price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

      11. CHANGES IN LAW OR CIRCUMSTANCES; INCREASED COSTS

      11.1 Reimbursement of Prepayment Costs. If any Borrower makes any payment
of principal with respect to any Eurocurrency-based Advance or Quoted Rate
Advance on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable
thereto (whether voluntarily, by acceleration, or otherwise), or if any Borrower
converts or refunds (or attempts to convert or refund) any such Advance on any
day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto; or if any
Borrower fails to borrow, refund or convert into any Eurocurrency-based Advance
or Quoted Rate Advance after notice has been given by such Borrower to Agent in
accordance with the terms hereof requesting such Advance, or if any Borrower
fails

                                      70
<PAGE>

to make any payment of principal or interest in respect of a Eurocurrency-based
Advance or Quoted Rate Advance when due, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse
Agent for itself and/or on behalf of any Lender, as the case may be, on demand
for any resulting loss, cost or expense incurred by Agent and Lenders, as the
case may be, as a result thereof, including, without limitation, any such loss,
cost or expense incurred in obtaining, liquidating, employing or redeploying
deposits from third parties, whether or not Agent and Lenders, as the case may
be, shall have funded or committed to fund such Advance. Such amount payable by
such Borrower to Agent for itself and/or on behalf of any Lender, as the case
may be, may include, without limitation, an amount equal to the excess, if any,
of (a) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid,
or not so borrowed, refunded or converted, for the period from the date of such
prepayment or of such failure to borrow, refund or convert, through the last day
of the relevant Interest Period, at the applicable rate of interest for said
Advance(s) provided under this Agreement, over (b) the amount of interest (as
reasonably determined by Agent and Lenders, as the case may be) which would have
accrued to Agent and Lenders, as the case may be, on such amount by placing such
amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank
eurocurrency market. Calculation of any amounts payable to any Lender under this
paragraph shall be made as though such Lender shall have actually funded or
committed to fund the relevant Advance through the purchase of an underlying
deposit in an amount equal to the amount of such Advance and having a maturity
comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that any Lender
may fund any Eurocurrency-based Advance or Quoted Rate Advance, as the case may
be, in any manner it deems fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized
only for the purpose of the calculation of amounts payable under this paragraph.
Upon the written request of Borrowers, Agent and Lenders shall deliver to
Borrowers a certificate setting forth the basis for determining such losses,
costs and expenses, which certificate shall be conclusively presumed correct,
absent manifest error.

      11.2 Eurocurrency Lending Office. For any Advance to which the
Eurocurrency-based Rate is applicable, if Agent or a Lender, as applicable,
shall designate a Eurocurrency Lending Office which maintains books separate
from those of the rest of Agent or such Lender, Agent or such Lender, as the
case may be, shall have the option of maintaining and carrying the relevant
Advance on the books of such Eurocurrency Lending Office.

      11.3 Circumstances Affecting Eurocurrency-based Rate Availability. If with
respect to any Interest Period, Agent or the Majority Lenders (after
consultation with Agent) shall determine that, by reason of circumstances
affecting the foreign exchange and interbank markets generally, deposits in
eurodollars in the applicable amounts are not being offered to the Agent or such
Lenders for such Interest Period, then Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof
to the Borrowers. Thereafter, until Agent notifies the Borrowers that such
circumstances no longer exist, (i) the obligation of Lenders to make
Eurocurrency-based Advances, and the right of the Borrowers to convert an
Advance to or refund an Advance as a Eurocurrency-based Advance, as the case may
be, shall be suspended, and (ii) the Borrowers shall repay in full (or cause to
be repaid in full) the then outstanding principal amount of each such
Eurocurrency-based Advance, together with accrued interest thereon, any amounts
payable under Section 11.1 hereof, and all other amounts payable hereunder on
the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Advance.
Upon the date for repayment as aforesaid, such outstanding principal amount
shall be converted to a Prime-based Advance as of the last day of such Interest
Period.

      11.4 Laws Affecting Eurocurrency-based Advance Availability. If, after the
date of this Agreement, the introduction of, or any change in, any applicable
law, rule or regulation or in the interpretation or administration thereof by
any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof, or compliance by any of the Lenders (or any of their respective
Eurocurrency Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not
having the force of law) of any such authority, shall make it unlawful or
impossible for any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Eurocurrency
Lending Offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any
Advance with

                                      71
<PAGE>

interest at the Eurocurrency-based Rate, such Lender shall forthwith give notice
thereof to Holdings and to Agent. Thereafter, (a) the obligations of Lenders to
make Eurocurrency-based Advances and the right of any Borrower to convert an
Advance into or refund an Advance as a Eurocurrency-based Advance shall be
suspended and thereafter the Borrowers may select as Applicable Interest Rates
only those which remain available and which are permitted to be selected
hereunder, and (b) if any of the Lenders may not lawfully continue to maintain
an Advance to the end of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto as
a Eurocurrency-based Advance, the applicable Advance shall immediately be
converted to a Prime-based Advance and the Prime-based Rate shall be applicable
thereto for the remainder of such Interest Period. For purposes of this Section,
a change in law, rule, regulation, interpretation or administration shall
include, without limitation, any change made or which becomes effective on the
basis of a law, rule, regulation, interpretation or administration presently in
force, the effective date of which change is delayed by the terms of such law,
rule, regulation, interpretation or administration.

      11.5 Increased Cost of Eurocurrency-based Advances. If the adoption after
the date of this Agreement of, or any change after the date of this Agreement
in, any applicable law, rule or regulation of or in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Agent or any of the
Lenders (or any of their respective Eurocurrency Lending Offices) with any
request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) made by any such
authority, central bank or comparable agency after the date hereof:

            (a) shall subject any of the Lenders (or any of their respective
      Eurocurrency Lending Offices) to any tax, duty or other charge with
      respect to any Advance or shall change the basis of taxation of payments
      to any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Eurocurrency Lending
      Offices) of the principal of or interest on any Advance or any other
      amounts due under this Agreement in respect thereof (except for changes in
      the rate of tax on the overall net income of any of the Lenders or any of
      their respective Eurocurrency Lending Offices imposed by the jurisdiction
      in which such Lender's principal executive office or Eurocurrency Lending
      Office is located); or

            (b) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including,
      without limitation, any imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal
      Reserve System), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of,
      deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any of the
      Lenders (or any of their respective Eurocurrency Lending Offices) or shall
      impose on any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Eurocurrency
      Lending Offices) or the foreign exchange and interbank markets any other
      condition affecting any Advance;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the costs to any of the
Lenders of maintaining any part of the Indebtedness hereunder as a
Eurocurrency-based Advance or to reduce the amount of any sum received or
receivable by any of the Lenders under this Agreement in respect of a
Eurocurrency-based Advance, then such Lender shall notify Agent, and Agent (or
such Lender, as aforesaid) shall promptly notify the Borrowers of such fact and
demand compensation therefor and, within fifteen (15) days after such notice,
the applicable Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Lender or Lenders for such increased cost or
reduction. A certificate of Agent (or such Lender, if applicable) setting forth
the basis for determining such additional amount or amounts necessary to
compensate such Lender or Lenders shall be conclusively presumed to be correct
save for manifest error. For purposes of this Section, a change in law, rule,
regulation, interpretation, administration, request or directive shall include,
without limitation, any change made or which becomes effective on the basis of a
law, rule, regulation, interpretation, administration, request or directive
presently in force, the effective date of which change is delayed by the terms
of such law, rule, regulation, interpretation, administration, request or
directive.

                                      72

      11.6 Capital Adequacy and Other Increased Costs. In the event that after
the Effective Date the adoption of or any change in any applicable law, treaty,
rule or regulation (whether domestic or foreign) now or hereafter in effect and
whether or not presently applicable to any Lender or Agent, or any
interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged
with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender
or Agent with any guideline, request or directive of any such authority (whether
or not having the force of law), including any risk based capital guidelines,
affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be
maintained by such Lender or Agent (or any corporation controlling such Lender
or Agent) and such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, determines that the
amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of such
Lender's or Agent's obligations or Advances hereunder and such increase has the
effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or Agent's (or such
controlling corporation's) capital as a consequence of such obligations or
Advances hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or Agent (or such
controlling corporation) could have achieved but for such circumstances (taking
into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount
deemed by such Lender or Agent to be material (collectively, "Increased Costs"),
then Agent or such Lender shall notify the Borrowers, and thereafter the
applicable Borrower shall pay to such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, from
time to time, upon request by such Lender or Agent, additional amounts
sufficient to compensate such Lender or Agent (or such controlling corporation)
for any increase in the amount of capital and reduced rate of return which such
Lender or Agent reasonably determines to be allocable to the existence of such
Lender's or Agent's obligations or Advances hereunder. A statement as to the
amount of such compensation, prepared in good faith and in reasonable detail by
such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, shall be submitted by such Lender or
by Agent to the Borrowers, reasonably promptly after becoming aware of any event
described in this Section 11.6 and shall be conclusive, absent manifest error in
computation.

      11.7 Substitution of Lenders. If (a) the obligation of any Lender to make
Eurocurrency-based Advances has been suspended pursuant to Section 11.3 or 11.4
or (b) any Lender has demanded compensation under Section 3.4(c), 11.1, 11.5 or
11.6 (in each case, an "Affected Lender"), then the Borrowers shall have the
right (subject to Section 13.8 hereof), with the assistance of the Agent, to
seek a substitute Lender or Lenders (which may be one or more of the Lenders
(the "Purchasing Lender" or "Purchasing Lenders") to purchase the Advances of
the Revolving Credit and assume the commitments (including without limitation
its participations in Swing Line Advances and Letters of Credit) under this
Agreement of such Affected Lender. The Affected Lender shall be obligated to
sell its Advances of the Revolving Credit and assign its commitments to such
Purchasing Lender or Purchasing Lenders within fifteen days after receiving
notice from Borrowers requiring it to do so, at an aggregate price equal to the
outstanding principal amount thereof, plus unpaid interest and fees accrued
thereon (excluding any applicable premium) up to but excluding the date of the
sale and any other amounts owed to the Affected Lender under any Loan Document.
In connection with any such sale, and as a condition thereof, Borrowers shall
pay to the Affected Lender all fees accrued for its account hereunder to but
excluding the date of such sale, plus, if demanded by the Affected Lender within
ten Business Days after such sale, (i) the amount of any compensation which
would be due to the Affected Lender under Section 11.1 if the applicable
Borrower has prepaid the outstanding Eurocurrency-based Advances of the Affected
Lender on the date of such sale and (ii) any additional compensation accrued for
its account under Sections 3.4(c), 11.5 and 11.6 to but excluding said date.
Upon such sale, the Purchasing Lender or Purchasing Lenders shall assume the
Affected Lender's commitment, and the Affected Lender shall be released from its
obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent. If any Purchasing Lender is not
already one of the Lenders, the Affected Lender, as assignor, such Purchasing
Lender, as assignee, Holdings and the Agent, shall enter into an Assignment
Agreement pursuant to Section 13.8 hereof, whereupon such Purchasing Lender
shall be a Lender party to this Agreement, shall be deemed to be an assignee
hereunder and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender with a
Revolving Credit Percentage equal to its ratable share of the then applicable
Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment. In connection with any assignment

                                      73
<PAGE>

pursuant to this Section 11.7, the Borrowers or the Purchasing Lender shall pay
to the Agent the administrative fee for processing such assignment referred to
in Section 13.8.

      11.8 Right of Lenders to Fund through Branches and Affiliates. Each Lender
(including without limitation the Swing Line Lender) may, if it so elects,
fulfill its commitment as to any Advance hereunder by designating a branch or
Affiliate of such Lender to make such Advance; provided that (a) such Lender
shall remain solely responsible for the performances of its obligations
hereunder and (b) no such designation shall result in any material increased
costs to the applicable Borrower.

      12. AGENT

      12.1 Appointment of Agent. Each Lender and the holder of each Note
irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agent to act on behalf of such Lender or
holder under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such
powers hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to Agent by the
terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as may be reasonably
incidental thereto, including without limitation the power to execute or
authorize the execution of financing or similar statements or notices, and other
documents. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, the
Agent shall act solely as agent of the Lenders and does not assume and shall not
be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or
trust with or for Credit Parties. Each Lender agrees (which agreement shall
survive any termination of this Agreement) to reimburse Agent for all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses (including house and outside attorneys' fees and
disbursements) incurred by Agent hereunder or in connection herewith or with an
Event of Default or in enforcing the obligations of Credit Parties under this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other instrument executed pursuant
hereto, and for which Agent is not reimbursed by Credit Parties, pro rata
according to such Lender's Percentage, but excluding any such expense resulting
from Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Agent shall not be required
to take any action under the Loan Documents, or to prosecute or defend any suit
in respect of the Loan Documents, unless indemnified to its satisfaction by the
Lenders against loss, costs, liability and expense (excluding liability
resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct). If any indemnity
furnished to Agent shall become impaired, it may call for additional indemnity
and cease to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is
given.

      12.2 Deposit Account with Agent. Borrowers hereby authorize Agent, in
Agent's sole discretion, upon notice to Borrowers to charge its general deposit
account(s), if any, maintained with Agent for the amount of any principal,
interest, or other amounts or costs due under this Agreement when the same
become due and payable under the terms of this Agreement or the Notes.

      12.3 Scope of Agent's Duties. The Agent shall have no duties or
responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein, and shall not, by
reason of this Agreement or otherwise, have a fiduciary relationship with any
Lender (and no implied covenants or other obligations shall be read into this
Agreement against the Agent). None of the Agent, its Affiliates nor any of their
respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable to any
Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under this
Agreement or any document executed pursuant hereto, or in connection herewith or
therewith with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or all of
the Lenders for those acts requiring consent of all of the Lenders) (except for
its or their own wilful misconduct or gross negligence), nor be responsible for
or have any duties to ascertain, inquire into or verify (a) any recitals or
warranties made by the Credit Parties, or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the
Credit Parties, or any officer thereof contained herein or therein, (b) the
effectiveness, enforceability, validity or due execution of this Agreement or
any document executed pursuant hereto or any security thereunder, (c) the
performance by Credit Parties of their respective obligations hereunder or
thereunder, or (d) the satisfaction of any condition hereunder or thereunder,
including without limitation the making of any Advance or the

                                      74
<PAGE>

issuance of any Letter of Credit. The Agent and its Affiliates shall be entitled
to rely upon any certificate, notice, document or other communication (including
any cable, telegraph, facsimile transmission or oral communication) believed by
it to be genuine and correct and to have been sent or given by or on behalf of a
proper person. The Agent may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof.
The Agent may employ agents and may consult with legal counsel (who may be
counsel for a Credit Party), independent public accountants and other experts
selected by it and shall not be liable to the Lenders (except as to money or
property received by them or their authorized agents), for the negligence or
misconduct of any such agent selected by it with reasonable care or for any
action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the
advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

      12.4 Successor Agent. The Agent may resign as such at any time upon at
least 30 days' prior notice to Credit Parties and all Lenders. If Agent at any
time shall resign or if the office of Agent shall become vacant for any other
reason, the Majority Lenders shall, by written instrument, appoint successor
agent(s) satisfactory to such Majority Lenders, and, so long as no Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to Credit Parties. Such
successor agent shall thereupon become the Agent hereunder, as applicable, and
shall be entitled to receive from the prior Agent such documents of transfer and
assignment as such successor Agent may reasonably request. Any such successor
Agent shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States
or any state thereof and shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least
$500,000,000. If a successor is not so appointed or does not accept such
appointment before the resigning Agent's resignation becomes effective, the
resigning Agent may appoint a temporary successor to act until such appointment
by the Majority Lenders is made and accepted or if no such temporary successor
is appointed as provided above by the resigning Agent, the Majority Lenders
shall thereafter perform all of the duties of the resigning Agent hereunder
until such appointment by the Majority Lenders is made and accepted. Such
successor Agent shall succeed to all of the rights and obligations of the
resigning Agent as if originally named. The resigning Agent shall duly assign,
transfer and deliver to such successor Agent all moneys at the time held by the
resigning Agent hereunder after deducting therefrom its expenses for which it is
entitled to be reimbursed. Upon such succession of any such successor Agent, the
resigning agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder in
its capacity as Agent, except for its gross negligence or wilful misconduct
arising prior to its resignation hereunder, and the provisions of this Article
12 shall continue in effect for the benefit of the resigning Agent in respect of
any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent.

      12.5 Agent in its Individual Capacity. Comerica Bank, its Affiliates and
their respective successors and assigns, shall have the same rights and powers
hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising the
same as though Comerica Bank were not the Agent. Comerica Bank and its
Affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Lender) accept
deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking,
trust, financial advisory or other business with Credit Parties (or their
Subsidiaries) as if Comerica Bank were not acting as Agent hereunder, and may
accept fees and other consideration therefor without having to account for the
same to the Lenders.

      12.6 Credit Decisions. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently
of Agent and each other Lender and based on the financial statements of Credit
Parties and such other documents, information and investigations as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own credit decision to extend credit hereunder from
time to time. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently of Agent
and each other Lender and based on such other documents, information and
investigations as it shall deem appropriate at any time, continue to make its
own credit decisions as to exercising or not exercising from time to time any
rights and privileges available to it under this Agreement or any document
executed pursuant hereto.

                                      75
<PAGE>

      12.7 Authority of Agent to Enforce This Agreement. Each Lender, subject to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement, authorizes the Agent with full power
and authority as attorney-in-fact to institute and maintain actions, suits or
proceedings for the collection and enforcement of any Indebtedness outstanding
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and to file such proofs of debt
or other documents as may be necessary to have the claims of the Lenders allowed
in any proceeding relative to Credit Parties, or any of their Subsidiaries, or
their respective creditors or affecting their respective properties, and to take
such other actions which Agent considers to be necessary or desirable for the
protection, collection and enforcement of the Notes, this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents.

      12.8 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent and its
Affiliates (to the extent not reimbursed by Credit Parties, but without limiting
any obligation of Credit Parties to make such reimbursement), ratably according
to their respective Percentages, from and against any and all claims, damages,
losses, liabilities, costs or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever
(including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel) which may be
imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent and its Affiliates in any
way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any of the other Loan
Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted
by the Agent and its Affiliates under this Agreement or any of the Loan
Documents; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of
such claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses resulting from the
Agent's or its Affiliates' gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without
limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent and its
Affiliates promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket
expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) incurred
by the Agent and its Affiliates in connection with the preparation, execution,
delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether
through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in
respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents, to the extent that the Agent and its Affiliates are not
reimbursed for such expenses by Credit Parties, but without limiting the
obligation of Credit Parties to make such reimbursement. Each Lender agrees to
reimburse the Agent and its Affiliates promptly upon demand for its ratable
share of any amounts owing to the Agent and its Affiliates by the Lenders
pursuant to this Section, provided that, if the Agent and its Affiliates are
subsequently reimbursed by the Credit Parties for such amounts, it shall refund
to the Lenders on a pro rata basis the amount of any excess reimbursement. If
the indemnity furnished to the Agent and its Affiliates under this Section
shall, in the judgment of the Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, the
Agent may call for additional indemnity from the Lenders and cease, or not
commence, to take any action until such additional indemnity is furnished. Any
amounts paid by the Lenders hereunder to the Agent and its Affiliates shall be
deemed to constitute part of the Indebtedness hereunder.

      12.9 Knowledge of Default. It is expressly understood and agreed that the
Agent shall be entitled to assume that no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, unless the officers of the Agent immediately responsible for matters
concerning this Agreement shall have been notified in a writing specifying such
Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default" by a
Lender or by Credit Parties. Upon receiving such a notice, the Agent shall
promptly notify each Lender of such Event of Default and provide each Lender
with a copy of such notice and, shall endeavor to provide such notice to the
Lenders within three (3) Business Days (but without any liability whatsoever in
the event of its failure to do so). Agent shall also furnish the Lenders,
promptly upon receipt, with copies of all other notices or other information
required to be provided by Credit Parties hereunder.

      12.10 Agent's Authorization; Action by Lenders. Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, whenever the Agent is authorized and empowered
hereunder on behalf of the Lenders to give any approval or consent, or to make
any request, or to take any other action on behalf of the Lenders (including
without limitation the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under the
other Loan Documents), the Agent shall be required to give such approval or
consent, or to make such request or to

                                      76
<PAGE>

take such other action only when so requested in writing by the Majority Lenders
or the Lenders, as applicable hereunder. Action that may be taken by Majority
Lenders or all of the Lenders, as the case may be (as provided for hereunder)
may be taken (i) pursuant to a vote at a meeting (which may be held by telephone
conference call) as to which all of the Lenders have been given reasonable
advance notice, or (ii) pursuant to the written consent of the requisite
Percentages of the Lenders as required hereunder, provided that all of the
Lenders are given reasonable advance notice of the requests for such consent.

      12.11 Enforcement Actions by the Agent. Except as otherwise expressly
provided under this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents and subject
to the terms hereof, the Agent will take such action, assert such rights and
pursue such remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as the
Majority Lenders or all of the Lenders, as the case may be (as provided for
hereunder), shall direct; provided, however, that the Agent shall not be
required to act or omit to act if, in the judgment of the Agent, such action or
omission may expose the Agent to personal liability or is contrary to this
Agreement, any of the Loan Documents or applicable law. Except as expressly
provided above or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, no
Lender (other than the Agent, acting in its capacity as agent) shall be entitled
to take any enforcement action of any kind under any of the Loan Documents.

      12.12 Collateral Matters; Real Estate Lien Release Event.

            (a) The Agent is authorized on behalf of all the Lenders, without
      the necessity of any notice to or further consent from the Lenders, from
      time to time to take any action with respect to any Collateral or the
      Collateral Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain a
      perfected security interest in and Liens upon the Collateral granted
      pursuant to the Loan Documents.

            (b) The Lenders agree to release, and hereby irrevocably authorize
      the Agent to release, at its option and in its discretion, any Lien
      granted to or held by the Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination
      of the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment and payment in full of all
      Indebtedness (including Letter of Credit Obligations) payable under this
      Agreement and under any other Loan Document; (ii) constituting property
      sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any
      disposition permitted hereunder and with respect to which all the
      requirements of this Agreement have been satisfied; (iii) pursuant to
      Sections 13.23 and 13.25; or (iv) if approved, authorized or ratified in
      writing by the Majority Lenders, or all the Lenders, as the case may be,
      as provided in Section 13.11. Upon request by the Agent at any time, the

      13.8 Successors and Assigns; Participations; Assignments.

            (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the
      benefit of Credit Parties and the Lenders and their respective successors
      and assigns.

            (b) The foregoing shall not authorize any assignment by the Credit
      Parties of their rights or duties hereunder, and, except as otherwise
      provided herein, no such assignment shall be made (or effective) without
      the prior written approval of all of the Lenders.

            (c) The Credit Parties and Agent acknowledge that each of the
      Lenders may at any time and from time to time, subject to the terms and
      conditions hereof, assign or grant participations in such Lender's rights
      and obligations hereunder (on a pro rata basis only) and under the other
      Loan Documents to any Eligible Assignee, the identity of which institution
      is approved by Borrowers and Agent, such approval not to be unreasonably
      withheld or delayed; provided, however, that (i) the approval of Borrowers
      shall not be required upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a
      Default, and (ii) the approval of Borrowers and Agent shall not be
      required for any such sale, transfer, assignment or participation to any
      Affiliate of an assigning Lender, any other Lender or any Federal Reserve
      Bank. The Credit Parties authorize each Lender to disclose to any
      prospective assignee or participant, once approved by Credit Parties and
      Agent, any and all financial information in such Lender's possession
      concerning the Credit Parties which has been delivered to such Lender
      pursuant to this Agreement, provided that each such prospective
      participant shall execute a confidentiality agreement consistent with the
      terms of Section 13.12 hereof.

            (d) Each assignment by a Lender of all or any portion of its rights
      and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, which
      assignments shall be on a pro rata basis only (but only if additional loan
      facilities are added to this Agreement), shall be made pursuant to an
      Assignment Agreement substantially (as determined by Agent) in the form
      attached hereto as Exhibit H (with appropriate insertions acceptable to
      Agent) (provided however that such Lender need not deliver an Assignment
      Agreement in connection with assignments to such Lender's Affiliates or to
      a Federal Reserve Lender) and shall be subject to the terms and conditions
      hereof, and to the following restrictions:

                  (i) each assignment shall be in a minimum amount of the lesser
            of (x) Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) or such lesser amount as
            the Agent shall agree and (y) the entire remaining amount of
            assigning Lender's aggregate interest in the Revolving Credit (and
            participations in any outstanding Letters of Credit); provided
            however that, after giving effect to such assignment, in no event
            shall the entire remaining amount (if any) of assigning Lender's
            aggregate interest in the Revolving Credit (and participations in
            any outstanding Letters of Credit) be less than Five Million Dollars
            ($5,000,000); and

                  (ii) no assignment shall be effective unless Agent has
            received from the assignee (or from the assigning Lender) an
            assignment fee of $3,500 for each such assignment and such
            assignment is accompanied by the relevant tax forms required under

                                      81
<PAGE>

            Section 13.13, provided that the foregoing shall not apply with
            regards to Affiliates of the applicable Lender.

      In connection with any assignment, Borrowers and Agent shall be entitled
to continue to deal solely and directly with the assigning Lender in connection
with the interest so assigned until (x) the Agent shall have received a notice
of assignment duly executed by the assigning Lender and an Assignment Agreement
(with respect thereto) duly executed by the assigning Lender and each assignee;
and (y) the assigning Lender shall have delivered to the Agent the original of
each Note, if any, held by the assigning Lender under this Agreement. From and
after the date on which the Agent shall notify Borrowers and the assigning
Lender that the foregoing conditions shall have been satisfied and all consents
(if any) required shall have been given, the assignee thereunder shall be deemed
to be a party to this Agreement. To the extent that rights and obligations
hereunder shall have been assigned to such assignee as provided in such notice
of assignment (and Assignment Agreement), such assignee shall have the rights
and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
(including without limitation the right to receive fees payable hereunder in
respect of the period following such assignment). In addition, the assigning
Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder shall have been
assigned by it as provided in such notice of assignment (and Assignment
Agreement), but not otherwise, shall relinquish its rights and be released from
its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

      Within five (5) Business Days following Borrowers' receipt of notice from
the Agent that Agent has accepted and executed a notice of assignment and the
duly executed Assignment Agreement and assuming the Borrowers have consented to
such assignment (if their consent is required), Borrowers shall, to the extent
applicable, execute and deliver to the Agent in exchange for any surrendered
Note, new Note(s) payable to the order of the assignee in an amount equal to the
amount assigned to it pursuant to such notice of assignment (and Assignment
Agreement), and with respect to the portion of the Indebtedness retained by the
assigning Lender, to the extent applicable, new Note(s) payable to the order of
the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the amount retained by such Lender
hereunder. Agent, the Lenders and the Borrowers acknowledge and agree that any
such new Note(s) shall be given in renewal and replacement of the surrendered
Notes and shall not effect or constitute a novation or discharge of the
Indebtedness evidenced by any surrendered Note, and each such new Note may
contain a provision confirming such agreement. In addition, promptly following
receipt of such Notes, Agent shall make a notation on its records showing the
applicable new Percentages of the Lenders (including the assignee Lender)
following such assignment.

            (e) Each Lender agrees that any participation agreement permitted
      hereunder shall comply with all applicable laws and shall be subject to
      the following restrictions (which shall be set forth in the applicable
      Participation Agreement):

                  (i) such Lender shall remain the holder of its Notes (if
            issued) hereunder, notwithstanding any such participation;

                  (ii) except as expressly set forth in this Section 13.8(e)
            with respect to rights of setoff and the benefits of Section 11
            hereof, a participant shall have no direct rights or remedies
            hereunder;

                  (iii) a participant shall not reassign or transfer, or grant
            any sub-participations in its participation interest hereunder or
            any part thereof; and

                  (iv) such Lender shall retain the sole right and
            responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Credit Parties and
            their Subsidiaries relating to the Notes, if applicable

                                      82
<PAGE>

            and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the
            right to proceed against any Guaranties, or cause Agent to do so
            (subject to the terms and conditions hereof), and the right to
            approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of
            this Agreement without the consent of the participant (other than a
            participant which is an Affiliate of such Lender), except for those
            matters covered by Section 13.11(a) through (e) and (h) hereof
            (provided that a participant may exercise approval rights over such
            matters only on an indirect basis, acting through such Lender, and
            Credit Parties, Agent and the other Lenders may continue to deal
            directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights
            and duties hereunder).

      Borrowers agree that each participant shall be deemed to have the right of
setoff under Section 9.6 hereof in respect of its participation interest in
amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the same
extent as if the Indebtedness were owing directly to it as a Lender under this
Agreement, shall be subject to the pro rata recovery provisions of Section 11.3
hereof and shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11 hereof, provided that
no participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to such
Sections than the issuing Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect
of the amount of the participation transferred by such issuing Lender to such
participant had no such transfer occurred. The amount, terms and conditions of
any participation shall be as set forth in the participation agreement between
the issuing Lender and the Person purchasing such participation, and none of the
Credit Parties, the Agent and the other Lenders shall have any responsibility or
obligation with respect thereto, or to any Person to whom any such participation
may be issued. No such participation shall relieve any issuing Lender of any of
its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and all
actions hereunder shall be conducted as if no such participation had been
granted.

            (f) The Agent shall maintain at its principal office a copy of each
      Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register (the "Register") for
      the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, the Percentages
      of such Lenders and the principal amount of each type of Advance owing to
      each such Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be
      conclusive evidence, absent manifest error, and the Credit Parties, the
      Agent, and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
      Register as the owner of the Advances recorded therein for all purposes of
      this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the any
      of the Credit Parties or any Lender upon reasonable notice to the Agent
      and a copy of such information shall be provided to any such party on
      their prior written request. The Agent shall give prompt written notice to
      Holdings of the making of any entry in the Register or any change in such
      entry.

            (g) Nothing in this Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan
      Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall confer on any
      Person other than the respective parties hereto and thereto and their
      successors and assignees and participants permitted hereunder and
      thereunder any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or other
      claim under this Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents.

      13.9 Indulgence. No delay or failure of Agent and the Lenders in
exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall affect such right,
power or privilege nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any
further exercise thereof, nor the exercise of any other right, power or
privilege. The rights of Agent and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are
not exclusive of any rights or remedies which Agent and the Lenders would
otherwise have.

      13.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several
counterparts, and each executed copy shall constitute an original instrument,
but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

      13.11 Amendment and Waiver. No amendment or waiver of any provision of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by the
Credit Parties or any Subsidiary therefrom, shall in any event be effective
unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Majority Lenders (or by
the Agent at the written request of the Majority Lenders) or, if this Agreement
expressly so requires with respect to the subject matter thereof, by all Lenders
(and, with respect to any amendments to this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, by Credit Parties or the Subsidiaries which are signatories thereto),
and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance
and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no

hereunder, (b) waive, forgive defer or reduce the principal of, or interest on,

being stated that any sale or other transfer which any Credit Party or
Subsidiary is permitted to make pursuant to or under the terms of this Agreement

provided to the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, except as

Borrower," "Borrowing Base," or Section 10.3 or this Section 13.11, or (i) amend
Section 7.20 or consent to any departure therefrom by the Loan Parties; and
provided further, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing
signed by the Swing Line Lender, do any of the following: (x) reduce the
principal of, or interest on, the Swing Line Note or (y) postpone any date fixed
for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Swing Line Note; and
provided further, however, that no amendment, waiver, or consent shall, unless
in writing and signed by the Agent in addition to all the Lenders, affect
benefits (including without limitation economic benefits) available to such of
the Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents, or under or in connection with any transactions not
related to the transactions contemplated hereby.

      13.12 Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees that it will not disclose
without the prior consent of Borrowers (other than to its employees, its
Subsidiaries, another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or to its auditors or
counsel) any information with respect to Borrowers, which is furnished pursuant
to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; provided that any Lender
may disclose any such information (a) as has become generally available to the
public or has been lawfully obtained by such Lender from any third party under
no duty of confidentiality to Borrowers, (b) as may be required or appropriate
in any report, statement or testimony submitted to, or in respect to any
inquiry, by, any municipal, state or federal regulatory body having or claiming
to have jurisdiction over such Lender, including the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System of the United States, the Office of the Comptroller of
the Currency or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar
organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors,
(c) as may be required or appropriate in respect to any summons or subpoena or
in connection with any litigation (provided that each Lender agrees that if it
is served with a subpoena or other legal process requiring disclosure of any
confidential

                                      84
<PAGE>

information concerning any Borrower, it will promptly notify such Borrower and
provide to such Borrower copies of such summons or subpoena), (d) in order to
comply with any law, order, regulation or ruling applicable to such Lender, and
(e) to any permitted transferee or assignee or to any approved participant of,
or with respect to, the Notes, as aforesaid.

      13.13 Withholding Taxes. If any Lender is not a United States person
within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code, such
Lender shall promptly (but in any event prior to the initial payment of interest
hereunder) deliver to the Agent two executed copies of (i) Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor form) specifying the applicable tax treaty
between the United States and the jurisdiction of such Lender's domicile which
provides for the exemption from withholding on interest payments to such Lender,
(ii) Internal Revenue Service Form W8ECI (or any successor form) evidencing that
the income to be received by such Lender hereunder is effectively connected with
the conduct of a trade or business in the United States or (iii) other evidence
satisfactory to the Agent that such Lender is exempt from United States income
tax withholding with respect to such income. Such Lender shall amend or
supplement any such form or evidence as required to insure that it is accurate,
complete and non-misleading at all times. Promptly upon notice from the Agent of
any determination by the Internal Revenue Service that any payments previously
made to such Lender hereunder were subject to United States income tax
withholding when made, such Lender shall pay to the Agent the excess of the
aggregate amount required to be withheld from such payments over the aggregate
amount actually withheld by the Agent. In addition, from time to time upon the
reasonable request and at the sole expense of the Borrowers, each Lender and the
Agent shall (to the extent it is able to do so based upon applicable facts and
circumstances), complete and provide the Borrowers with such forms, certificates
or other documents as may be reasonably necessary to allow the Borrowers, as
applicable, to make any payment under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents
without any withholding for or on the account of any tax under Section 10.1(d)
hereof (or with such withholding at a reduced rate), provided that the execution
and delivery of such forms, certificates or other documents does not adversely
affect or otherwise restrict the right and benefits (including without
limitation economic benefits) available to such of the Lender or the Agent, as
the case may be, under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or
under or in connection with any transactions not related to the transactions
contemplated hereby.

      13.14 Taxes and Fees. Should any tax (other than as a result of a Lender's
failure to comply with Section 13.13 or a tax based upon the net income or
capitalization of any Lender or the Agent by any jurisdiction where a Lender or
Agent is located), recording or filing fee become payable in respect of this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any amendment, modification or
supplement hereof or thereof, the Borrowers agree to pay the same, together with
any interest or penalties thereon arising from the Borrowers' act or omission,
and agrees to hold the Agent and the Lenders harmless with respect thereto.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 13.14 shall
affect or reduce the rights of any Lender or the Agent under Section 11.5
hereof.

      13.15 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE LENDERS, THE AGENT AND THE CREDIT PARTIES
AFTER CONSULTING OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH COUNSEL,
KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT ANY OF THEM MAY HAVE TO
A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR
ANY RELATED INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY
THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR
WRITTEN) OR ACTION OF ANY OF THEM. NEITHER THE LENDERS, THE AGENT, NOR THE
CREDIT PARTIES SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE, BY COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHERWISE, ANY SUCH
ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A
JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. THESE PROVISIONS SHALL NOT BE
DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN MODIFIED IN ANY RESPECT OR RELINQUISHED BY THE LENDERS AND
THE

                                      85
<PAGE>

AGENT OR THE CREDIT PARTIES EXCEPT BY A WRITTEN INSTRUMENT EXECUTED BY ALL OF
THEM.

      13.16 Complete Agreement; Conflicts. This Agreement, the Notes (if
issued), any Requests for Revolving Credit Advance and Requests for Swing Line
Advance hereunder, and the Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the
parties hereto, superseding all prior agreements, discussions and understandings
relating to the subject matter hereof, and none of the parties shall be bound by
anything not expressed in writing. In the event of any conflict between the
terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, this Agreement shall
govern.

      13.17 Severability. In case any one or more of the obligations of the
Credit Parties under this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan
Documents shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining obligations of the Credit
Parties shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and such
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability in one jurisdiction shall not affect
the validity, legality or enforceability of the obligations of Credit Parties
under this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents in any other
jurisdiction.

      13.18 Table of Contents and Headings. The table of contents and the
headings of the various subdivisions hereof are for convenience of reference
only and shall in no way modify or affect any of the terms or provisions hereof.

      13.19 Construction of Certain Provisions. If any provision of this
Agreement or any of the Loan Documents refers to any action to be taken by any
Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be
applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person,
whether or not expressly specified in such provision.

      13.20 Independence of Covenants. Each covenant hereunder shall be given
independent effect (subject to any exceptions stated in such covenant) so that
if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any such covenant
(taking into account any such stated exception), the fact that it would be
permitted by an exception to, or would be otherwise within the limitations of,
another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of
Default.

      13.21 Reliance on and Survival of Various Provisions. All terms,
covenants, agreements, representations and warranties of Credit Parties or any
party to any of the Loan Documents made herein or in any of the Loan Documents
or in any certificate, report, financial statement or other document furnished
by or on behalf of the Credit Parties or any Subsidiary in connection with this
Agreement or any of the Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been relied upon
by the Lenders, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made
by any Lenders or on such Lenders' behalf, and those covenants and agreements of
the Credit Parties set forth in Section 11.6 hereof (together with any other
indemnities of the Credit Parties or any Subsidiary contained elsewhere in this
Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents) and of Lenders set forth in
Section 12.8 hereof shall survive the repayment in full of the Indebtedness and
the termination of the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment.

      13.22 Complete Agreement; Amendment and Restatement. This Agreement, the
Notes (if issued), any Requests for Advance or Letters of Credit hereunder, the
other Loan Documents and any agreements, certificates, or other documents given
to secure the Indebtedness, contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto,
and none of the parties hereto shall be bound by anything not expressed in
writing. This Agreement constitutes an amendment and restatement of the Prior
Credit Agreement, which Prior Credit Agreement is fully superseded and amended
and restated in its entirety hereby; provided, however, that the Indebtedness
governed by the Prior Credit Agreement shall remain

                                      86
<PAGE>

outstanding and in full force and effect and provided further that this
Agreement does not constitute a novation of such Indebtedness.

      13.23 Termination of Pledge Agreements. Upon fulfillment of each of the
Pledge Termination Conditions, the Agent will execute a writing terminating the
Pledge Agreements.

      13.24 Young Parties. The Agent, the Lenders and the Credit Parties hereby
agree that as of the date hereof, none of the Young Parties (a) is a Borrower or
a Subsidiary, and as such none of such parties is subject to the affirmative
covenants in Article 6 of this Agreement, unless they become Borrowers or
Subsidiaries at a future date, and (b) is subject to the negative covenants in
Article 8 of this Agreement, except to the extent that such party is a party to
or a recipient of a transaction with Holdings or one of its Subsidiaries which
Holdings or a Subsidiary is prohibited from entering into pursuant to Article 8.

      13.25 Release of Real Estate Collateral. Upon the incurrence of Permitted
Real Estate Debt, and in compliance by the Credit Parties with the mandatory
prepayment provisions of Section 2.15(b)(ii) of this Agreement and the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 12.12 of this Agreement, the
Agent shall release the applicable real estate from the Lien of the applicable
Mortgages pursuant to the request of the Credit Parties.

      13.26 Foreign Subsidiaries. Each of the Foreign Subsidiaries party hereto
execute this Agreement for the purpose of evidencing the Issuing Lender's
commitment to issue Letters of Credit for its account (in amounts not to exceed
in the case of Plastipak Brazil, the Brazilian Maximum Amount, and in the case
of all other Foreign Subsidiaries eligible to request Letters of Credit, the
Other Foreign Subsidiaries Maximum Amount, and subject to the conditions in
Section 5.10), and its obligations under Sections 3.4 through 3.9 with respect
to such Letters of Credit.
