ANNEX A

GOALS MENTIONED IN CLAUSE 4.1

For the effects of clause 4.1, the following goals agreed-to herein must be achieved by the end of
the new administration’s fiscal first year.

	1.	 	Reduction of 15% (fifteen percent) in the total sum of the financial debt standing on the
date of the signing of the Protocol. This reduction signifies ending the new
administration’s first fiscal year with a total debt of less than 19 (nineteen) million
Reais.
	 
	2.	 	The positive Operating Cash Balance should reach, by the last month of the period stipulated
for the goals, the cumulative amount of R$ 4,500,000.00 (four million, five hundred thousand
Reais). This concept is referred-to in the financial documents issued by VENBO’s present
administration, as Operating Cash Balance.
	 
	3.	 	A reduction of 15% (fifteen percent) of the Administrative Expenses (concept in accordance
with the nomenclature currently used by BFFC’s Board of Directors, including Franchise and
Sales expenses) by the last month of the new administration’s first fiscal year, in reference
to the last month of a full calendar year of the present administration.

EXCEPTIONS. The goals described above will expire, to the effects of clause 4.1 in the Protocol of
which this Annex A is an integral part, if one of the events below is confirmed during the new
administration’s first year:

	a)	 	If the Real is devaluated, in reference to the US Dollar, by more than 10% (ten percent) of
the currency value on the date that the protocol was signed, and if this continues for a
period of over 3 (three) consecutive months.
	 
	b)	 	If the SELIC interest rates go beyond the point of 18.5% percent per annum for a period of
over 3 (three) consecutive months.
	 
	c)	 	If the average monthly retail performance index published by the IBGE, calculated based on
the 12 (twelve) months of the new administration, falls more than two percentage points in
reference to the average of the last 12 (twelve) months of the present administration.

In the event that any of the events described above occurs, new goals must then be agreed-to for
the new one-year period of the new administration. Should the parties not arrive at an agreement
by the first month of this new period, the matter must be submitted to a decision by the BFFC Board
of Directors.<PAGE>

<PAGE>

1. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF CREDIT

          1.1 Credit Facilities.

          (a) Term Loan A.

               (i) On the Effective Date the aggregate principal amount of Term
Loan A (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) outstanding under the
Existing Credit Agreement is $600,000,000 and shall be deemed outstanding under
this Agreement (collectively, the "Term Loan A"). The Borrower may from time to
time deposit the proceeds of the Term Loan A in the L/C Cash Collateral Account.
Unless a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
the L/C Cash Collateral may be withdrawn by the Borrower from the L/C Cash
Collateral Account from time to time upon 3 Business Days' notice to the
Administrative Agent, provided that the aggregate amount of L/C Cash Collateral
held in the L/C Cash Collateral Account thereafter would not be less than an
amount equal to 100% of the aggregate face amount of all outstanding Letters of
Credit. The obligations of each Term A Lender hereunder shall be several and not
joint. The Term Loan A shall, upon the request of any Lender pursuant to Section
1.10, be evidenced by promissory notes substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.1
(each a "Note" and collectively the "Notes"), and, upon such request as provided
in Section 1.10, Borrower shall execute and deliver each Note to the applicable
Term A Lender. Each Note shall represent the obligation of Borrower to pay the
amount of the applicable Term A Lender's Term Loan A, together with interest
thereon as prescribed in Section 1.5.

               (ii) The aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan
A (including the portion of the Term Loan A the proceeds of which are held by
the Administrative Agent in the L/C Cash Collateral Account) shall be due and
payable in full in immediately available funds on the Maturity Date, if not
sooner paid in full. No payment with respect to the Term Loan A may be
reborrowed. The deposit of proceeds of the Term Loan A in the L/C Cash
Collateral Account as provided in Section 1.1(a)(i) above, is not and shall not
be deemed to be a repayment of the Term Loan A.

               (iii) Each payment of principal with respect to the Term Loan A
shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of each Term A
Lender, ratably in proportion to each such Term A Lender's respective Term A
Commitment.

               (iv) Subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions
contained herein and in Annex B, unless a Default or an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, each L/C Issuer agrees to issue one or more
Letters of Credit at the request of the Borrower from time to time during the
period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the earlier of the
Maturity Date and 30 days prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date, up to a maximum
amount of $200,000,000 (the "L/C Subfacility").

                                        2

<PAGE>

          (b) Term Loan B.

               (i) On the Effective Date the aggregate principal amount of Term
Loan B (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) outstanding under the
Existing Credit Agreement is $700,000,000 and shall be deemed outstanding under
this Agreement (collectively, the "Term Loan B"). The obligations of each Term B
Lender hereunder shall be several and not joint. The Term Loan B shall, upon the
request of any Lender pursuant to Section 1.10, be evidenced by a Note, and,
upon such request as provided in Section 1.10, Borrower shall execute and
deliver each Note to the applicable Term B Lender. Each Note shall represent the
obligation of Borrower to pay the amount of the applicable Term B Lender's Term
Loan B, together with interest thereon as prescribed in Section 1.5.

               (ii) The aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan
B shall be due and payable in full in immediately available funds on the
Maturity Date, if not sooner paid in full. No payment with respect to the Term
Loan B may be reborrowed.

               (iii) Each payment of principal with respect to the Term Loan B
shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of each Term B
Lender, ratably in proportion to each such Term B Lender's respective Term B
Commitment.

          (c) Term Loan C.

               (i) On the Effective Date the aggregate principal amount of Term
Loan C (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) outstanding under the
Existing Credit Agreement is $600,000,000 and shall be deemed outstanding under
this Agreement (collectively, the "Term Loan C"). The obligations of each Term C
Lender hereunder shall be several and not joint. The Term Loan C shall, upon the
request of any Lender pursuant to Section 1.10, be evidenced by a Note, and,
upon such request as provided in Section 1.10, Borrower shall execute and
deliver each Note to the applicable Term C Lender. Each Note shall represent the
obligation of Borrower to pay the amount of the applicable Term C Lender's Term
Loan C, together with interest thereon as prescribed in Section 1.5.

               (ii) The aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan
C shall be due and payable in full in immediately available funds on the
Maturity Date, if not sooner paid in full. No payment with respect to the Term
Loan C may be reborrowed.

               (iii) Each payment of principal with respect to the Term Loan C
shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of each Term C
Lender, ratably in proportion to each such Term C Lender's respective Term C
Commitment.

          1.2 Prepayments.

          (a) Voluntary Prepayments. Borrower may at any time on at least three
(3) Business Days' prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, voluntarily
prepay all or part of

                                        3

<PAGE>

the Term Loan; provided that any such prepayment shall be in a minimum amount of
$5,000,000 and integral multiples of $250,000 in excess of such amount and shall
be accompanied by payment of any LIBOR funding breakage costs in accordance with
Section 1.11(b); provided, further, that any such prepayment shall be applied
pursuant to Section 1.3.

          (b) Mandatory Prepayments.

               (i) If at any time the aggregate outstanding principal amount of
the Term Loan A exceeds the Term A Borrowing Base, Borrower shall immediately
repay the aggregate outstanding amount of the Term Loan A to the extent required
to eliminate such excess.

               (ii) Upon receipt by any Credit Party of Net Cash Proceeds
arising from an Asset Sale (other than an Asset Sale of Skymiles Collateral) or
Property Loss Event, Borrower shall immediately prepay the Loans in an amount
equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds; provided, that, immediately upon
receipt by any Credit Party of such Net Cash Proceeds, Borrower may, at its
option, deposit 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds in the Cash Collateral Account,
in each case, to be applied in accordance with Section 1.2(c).

          (c) Application of Net Cash Proceeds. Any Net Cash Proceeds received
by Borrower or any other Credit Party or the Administrative Agent under any Loan
Document (except as otherwise expressly provided herein or therein) shall be
applied pursuant to Section 1.3; provided, however, that, in the event Borrower
has elected to deposit such Net Cash Proceeds in the Cash Collateral Account in
accordance with Section 1.2(b)(ii):

               (i) upon any Asset Sale of Collateral included in the Term A
     Borrowing Base, the Administrative Agent shall (A) upon receipt of a
     Borrowing Base Certificate prior to the Prepayment Date that includes one
     or more assets (the "Replacement Borrowing Base Assets" and which, other
     than in the case of Aircraft or Engines, may consist of any type of asset
     eligible to be included in the Term A Borrowing Base and, in the case of
     Aircraft or Engines, shall consist of Additional Aircraft or Additional
     Engines, as the case may be) replacing the asset or assets (the "Original
     Borrowing Base Assets") giving rise to such Net Cash Proceeds, release to
     Borrower an amount equal to (1) such Net Cash Proceeds minus (2) the
     amount, if any, by which (x) the Allocated Amount for the Original
     Borrowing Base Assets exceeds (y) the Allocated Amount for the Replacement
     Borrowing Base Assets and (B) on the earlier of (1) the election by the
     Administrative Agent, the Requisite Term A Lenders, the Requisite Term B
     Lenders or the Requisite Term C Lenders following the occurrence of any
     Event of Default and (2) the Prepayment Date, apply the balance of such Net
     Cash Proceeds pursuant to Section 1.3;

               (ii) upon a Reinvestment Event, all or a portion of such Net Cash
     Proceeds, as specified in a Reinvestment Notice, shall be used to acquire
     or construct Permitted Reinvestment Collateral (the "Reinvestment Deferred
     Amount") and such Reinvestment Deferred Amount shall, within five (5)
     Business Days of delivery of a Reinvestment Release Request, be released to
     Borrower to acquire or construct such

                                        4

<PAGE>

     Permitted Reinvestment Collateral until the Reinvestment Prepayment Date
     corresponding thereto, on which date the remaining Net Cash Proceeds, if
     any, shall be applied pursuant to Section 1.3;

               (iii) upon a Property Loss Event involving any Aircraft or
     Engines, Borrower shall comply with the applicable notice provisions and
     requirements for Replacement Aircraft or Replacement Engines as set forth
     in the Aircraft Mortgage; and

               (iv) upon a Property Loss Event involving any Real Estate subject
     to a Mortgage, Borrower shall comply with the applicable provisions and
     requirements set forth in such Mortgage.

          (d) No Implied Consent. Nothing in this Section 1.2 shall be construed
to constitute the Administrative Agent's or Lender's consent to any transaction
that is not permitted by other provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents.

          1.3 Priority and Application of Payments.

          So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
payments matching specific scheduled or required payments then due shall be
applied to those scheduled or required payments. As to any other payment and as
to all payments made when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or
following the Maturity Date, Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to
direct the application of any and all payments received from or on behalf of
Borrower, and Borrower and each Secured Party hereby irrevocably agrees that the
Administrative Agent shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply any and
all such payments against the Obligations as follows: first, to Fees and
reimbursable expenses of the Administrative Agent then due and payable pursuant
to any of the Loan Documents; second, to Fees and reimbursable expenses of Term
A Lenders and Letter of Credit Obligations of L/C Issuers then due and payable
pursuant to any of the Loan Documents; third, to interest then due and payable
on the Term Loan A; fourth, to prepay the remaining principal amount of the Term
Loan A, until the Term Loan A shall have been paid in full; fifth, to all other
Obligations then due and payable to the Term A Lenders; sixth, to Fees and
reimbursable expenses of Term B Lenders then due and payable pursuant to any of
the Loan Documents; seventh, to interest then due and payable on the Term Loan
B; eighth, to prepay the remaining principal amount of the Term Loan B, until
the Term Loan B shall have been paid in full; ninth, to all other Obligations
then due and payable to the Term B Lenders; tenth, to Fees and reimbursable
expenses of Term C Lenders then due and payable pursuant to any of the Loan
Documents; eleventh, to interest then due and payable on the Term Loan C;
twelfth, to prepay the remaining principal amount of the Term Loan C, until the
Term Loan C shall have been paid in full; and last, to all other Obligations
then due and payable to the Term C Lenders. All payments and prepayments applied
to a particular Loan shall be applied ratably to the portion thereof held by
each Lender as determined by its Pro Rata Share. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, no Credit Party shall be obligated to make any payment to any
Secured Party under any Loan Document from the proceeds of Skymiles Collateral
at any time after the delivery to Borrower of a Notice of Actionable Default and
until the withdrawal of all pending Notices of Actionable Default except as and
to the extent set forth in the Skymiles Intercreditor Agreement.

per annum or (B) the applicable LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Term C LIBOR
Margin per annum.

The applicable margins are as follows:

<TABLE>
<S>                                 <C>
Applicable Term A Index Margin ..   2.00%
Applicable Term A LIBOR Margin ..   2.75%
Applicable Term B Index Margin ..   4.00%
Applicable Term B LIBOR Margin ..   4.75%
Applicable Term C Index Margin ..   6.75%
Applicable Term C LIBOR Margin ..   7.50%
</TABLE>

          (b) If any payment on any Loan becomes due and payable on a day other
than a Business Day, the maturity thereof will be extended to the next
succeeding Business Day (except as set forth in the definition of LIBOR Period)
and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at
the then applicable rate during such extension.

          (c) All computations of interest shall be made by the Administrative
Agent on the basis of a 360-day year (or, in the case of interest calculated
based on the Index Rate, a 365/366 day year), in each case for the actual number
of days occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. The Index
Rate is a floating rate determined for each day. Each determination by the
Administrative Agent of interest rates hereunder shall be presumptive evidence
of the correctness of such rates.

          (d) So long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
under Section 8.1(a), or so long as any other Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing and at

                                        6

<PAGE>

the election of any of (i) the Administrative Agent, (ii) the Requisite Term A
Lenders, (iii) the Requisite Term B Lenders or (iv) the Requisite Term C Lenders
confirmed by written notice from the Administrative Agent to Borrower, (A) the
interest rates applicable to the Loans shall be increased by two percentage
points (2%) per annum above the rates of interest otherwise applicable to such
Loans hereunder (the "Default Rate"), and (B) all other outstanding Obligations
shall bear interest at the Default Rate applicable to the Term Loan C. Interest
at the Default Rate shall accrue from the initial date of such Event of Default
until that Event of Default is cured or waived and shall be payable upon demand.

          (e) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
Borrower shall have the option to (i) convert at any time all or any part of
outstanding Loans from Index Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans, (ii) convert any LIBOR
Loan to an Index Rate Loan, subject to payment of LIBOR breakage costs in
accordance with Section 1.11(b) if such conversion is made prior to the
expiration of the LIBOR Period applicable thereto, or (iii) continue all or any
portion of any Loan as a LIBOR Loan upon the expiration of the applicable LIBOR
Period and the succeeding LIBOR Period of that continued Loan shall commence on
the first day after the last day of the LIBOR Period of the Loan to be
continued. Any Loan or group of Loans having the same proposed LIBOR Period to
be made or continued as, or converted into, a LIBOR Loan must be in a minimum
amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of such
amount. Any such election must be made by 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the
third Business Day prior to (1) the date of any proposed borrowing which is to
bear interest at the LIBOR Rate, (2) the end of each LIBOR Period with respect
to any LIBOR Loans to be continued as such, or (3) the date on which Borrower
wishes to convert any Index Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan for a LIBOR Period
designated by Borrower in such election. If no election is received with respect
to a LIBOR Loan by 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the third Business Day prior to
the end of the LIBOR Period with respect thereto (or if an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing), that LIBOR Loan shall be converted to an Index Rate
Loan at the end of its LIBOR Period. Borrower must make such election by notice
to the Administrative Agent in writing, by telecopy or overnight courier. In the
case of any conversion or continuation, such election must be made pursuant to a
written notice (a "Notice of Conversion/Continuation") in the form of Exhibit
1.5(e).

          (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section
1.5, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final order that the
rate of interest payable hereunder exceeds the highest rate of interest
permissible under law (the "Maximum Lawful Rate"), then so long as the Maximum
Lawful Rate would be so exceeded, the rate of interest payable hereunder shall
be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate; provided, however, that if at any time
thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder is less than the Maximum
Lawful Rate, Borrower shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum
Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by the Administrative
Agent, on behalf of applicable Lenders, is equal to the total interest that
would have been received had the interest rate payable hereunder been (but for
the operation of this paragraph) the interest rate payable since the Closing
Date as otherwise provided in this Agreement. In no event shall the total
interest received by any Lender pursuant to the terms hereof exceed the amount
that such Lender could lawfully have received had the interest due hereunder
been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Lawful Rate.

          1.6 Term A Borrowing Base.

          The Administrative Agent shall have the right to modify or eliminate
Reserves against Eligible Accounts, Eligible Unbilled Accounts and Eligible
Refundable Ticket Accounts, Eligible Real Estate, Eligible Aircraft, Eligible
Engines, Eligible Spare Parts, Eligible Ground Service Equipment, Eligible
Flight Simulators and Eligible Tooling from time to time in its reasonable
credit judgment. In addition, the Administrative Agent reserves the right, at
any time and from time to time after the Closing Date, to adjust any of the
eligibility criteria and to establish new eligibility criteria, and to adjust
advance rates with respect to Eligible Accounts, Eligible Unbilled Accounts and
Eligible Refundable Ticket Accounts, Eligible Real Estate, Eligible Aircraft,
Eligible Engines, Eligible Spare Parts, Eligible Ground Service Equipment,
Eligible Flight Simulators and Eligible Tooling, in its reasonable credit
judgment, reflecting changes in the collectibility or realization values (in the
case of Accounts) or changes in the Fair Market Value or Net Orderly Liquidation
Value (in the case of the other components of the Term A Borrowing Base), in
each case, arising or discovered by the Administrative Agent after the Closing
Date, subject to the approval of each of the Supermajority Term A Lenders, the
Requisite Term B Lenders and the Requisite Term C Lenders in the case of
adjustments or new eligibility criteria, reductions in the amount of the
Reserves in effect on the Closing Date or changes in advance rates which have
the effect of making more credit available.

          1.7 [Reserved.]

          1.8 Fees.

          Borrower shall pay to GE Capital the Fees specified in the Fee
Letters.

          1.9 Receipt of Payments.

          Borrower shall make each payment under this Agreement not later than
2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day when due in immediately available funds in
Dollars to the Collection Account. For purposes of computing interest as of any
date, all payments shall be deemed received on the Business Day on which
immediately available funds therefor are received in the Collection Account
prior to 2:00 p.m. New York time. Payments received after 2:00 p.m. New York
time on any Business Day or on a day that is not a Business Day shall be deemed
to have been received on the following Business Day.

          1.10 Loan Account and Accounting.

          The Administrative Agent shall maintain a loan account (the "Loan
Account") on its books to record each of Term Loan A, Term Loan B and Term Loan
C, all payments made by Borrower with respect to such Term Loan, and all other
debits and credits as provided in this Agreement with respect to such Term Loan
or any other Obligations with respect to such Term Loan. All entries in the Loan
Account shall be made in accordance with the Administrative Agent's customary
accounting practices as in effect from time to time. The balance in the Loan
Account, as recorded on the Administrative Agent's most recent printout or other
written statement, shall, absent manifest error, be presumptive evidence of the
amounts due and owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by Borrower;
provided, that any failure to so record or any error in so recording shall not
limit or otherwise affect Borrower's duty to pay the

                                        8

<PAGE>

Obligations with respect to the Term Loans. The Administrative Agent shall
render to Borrower a monthly accounting of transactions with respect to each
Term Loan setting forth the balance of the Loan Account for the immediately
preceding month. Any Lender may elect, by notice to Borrower and the
Administrative Agent, to have such Lender's Term Loan be evidenced by a Note
issued to that Lender. If no such Note is requested, such Lender may rely on the
Term Loan Account as evidence of the amount of Obligations with respect to the
Term Loan from time to time owing to it. Unless Borrower notifies the
Administrative Agent in writing of any objection to any such accounting
(specifically describing the basis for such objection), within thirty (30) days
after the date thereof, each and every such accounting shall be presumptive
evidence of all matters reflected therein. Only those items expressly objected
to in such notice shall be deemed to be disputed by Borrower.

          1.11 Indemnity.

          (a) Each Credit Party that is a signatory hereto shall jointly and
severally indemnify and hold harmless each of the Administrative Agent, Lenders
and their respective Affiliates, and each such Person's respective officers,
directors, employees, attorneys, agents and representatives (each, an
"Indemnified Person"), from and against any and all suits, actions, proceedings,
claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements and other costs of investigation or defense,
including those incurred upon any appeal) that may be instituted or asserted
against or incurred by any such Indemnified Person as the result of credit
having been extended, suspended or terminated under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents and the administration of such credit, and in connection with or
arising out of the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder and any
actions or failures to act in connection therewith, including any and all
Environmental Liabilities and legal costs and expenses arising out of or
incurred in connection with disputes between or among any parties to any of the
Loan Documents, and associated with Electronic Transmissions or E-Systems as
well as failures caused by Borrower's equipment, software, services or otherwise
used in connection therewith (collectively, "Indemnified Liabilities");
provided, that no such Credit Party shall be liable for any indemnification to
an Indemnified Person to the extent that any such suit, action, proceeding,
claim, damage, loss, liability or expense results from that Indemnified Person's
gross negligence or willful misconduct. NO INDEMNIFIED PERSON SHALL BE
RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO ANY OTHER PARTY TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, ANY SUCCESSOR,
ASSIGNEE OR THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY OF SUCH PERSON OR ANY OTHER PERSON ASSERTING
CLAIMS DERIVATIVELY THROUGH SUCH PARTY, FOR INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHICH MAY BE ALLEGED AS A RESULT OF CREDIT HAVING BEEN
EXTENDED, SUSPENDED OR TERMINATED UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR AS A RESULT OF ANY
OTHER TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.

          (b) To induce Lenders to provide the LIBOR Rate option on the terms
provided herein, if (i) any LIBOR Loans are repaid in whole or in part prior to
the last day of any applicable LIBOR Period (whether that repayment is made
pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or occurs
as a result of acceleration, by operation of law or otherwise); (ii) Borrower
shall default in payment when due of the principal amount of or interest on any
LIBOR Loan; (iii) Borrower shall refuse to accept any borrowing of, or shall

                                        9

<PAGE>

request a termination of any borrowing, conversion into or continuation of LIBOR
Loans after Borrower has given notice requesting the same in accordance
herewith; or (iv) Borrower shall fail to make any prepayment of a LIBOR Loan
after Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance herewith, then Borrower
shall indemnify and hold harmless each Lender from and against any loss or
expense arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by it or from fees
payable to terminate deposits from which such funds were obtained. For the
purpose of calculating amounts payable to a Lender under this subsection, each
Lender shall be deemed to have actually funded its relevant LIBOR Loan through
the purchase of a deposit bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate in an amount equal
to the amount of that LIBOR Loan and having a maturity comparable to the
relevant LIBOR Period; provided, that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR
Loans in any manner it sees fit, and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized
only for the calculation of amounts payable under this subsection. This covenant
shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Notes and
all other amounts payable hereunder. As promptly as practicable under the
circumstances, each Lender shall provide Borrower with its written calculation
of all amounts payable pursuant to this Section 1.11(b), and such calculation
shall be binding on the parties hereto unless Borrower shall object in writing
within thirty (30) days of receipt thereof, specifying the basis for such
objection in detail.

          1.12 Access.

          (a) Each Credit Party shall, during normal business hours, from time
to time upon five (5) Business Days' prior notice as frequently as the
Administrative Agent reasonably determines to be appropriate (and subject to
such other restrictions on inspections set forth in the Aircraft Mortgage with
respect to Aircraft and Engines or the Spare Parts Mortgage with respect to
Spare Parts): (i) provide the Administrative Agent and any of its officers,
employees and agents access to its officers and employees, and with prior notice
and the opportunity to be present, advisors of each Credit Party, (ii) permit
the Administrative Agent, and any of its officers, employees and agents, to
inspect, audit and make extracts from any Credit Party's Books and Records
(subject to requirements under any confidentiality agreements, if applicable) ,
and (iii) permit the Administrative Agent, and any of its officers, employees
and agents, to have access to properties, facilities and to the Collateral and
to inspect, audit, review, evaluate, conduct field examinations and make test
verifications and counts of the Accounts, Inventory and other Collateral of any
Credit Party; provided, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, such access and inspections shall not be permitted more frequently
than (A) once in any calendar quarter with respect to any Collateral of the type
described in clauses (d) through (m) of the definition of "Term A Borrowing
Base," (B) twice every calendar year with respect to any Collateral of the type
described in clauses (a) through (c) of the definition of "Term A Borrowing
Base," and (C) as set forth in the other applicable Collateral Documents.
Representatives of other Lenders may accompany the Administrative Agent's
representatives on regularly scheduled audits at no charge to Borrower. Each
Credit Party shall make available to the Administrative Agent and its counsel
reasonably promptly originals or copies of all Books and Records (subject to
requirements under any confidentiality agreements, if applicable) that the
Administrative Agent may reasonably request. Each Credit Party shall deliver any
document or instrument necessary for the Administrative Agent, as it may from
time to time request, to obtain records from any service bureau or other Person
that maintains records for such Credit Party and shall maintain supporting
documentation on media, including computer

                                       10

<PAGE>

tapes and discs owned by such Credit Party. The Administrative Agent will give
Lenders at least five (5) days' prior written notice of regularly scheduled
audits.

          (b) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each such
Credit Party shall provide such access as set forth in clause (a) above to the
Administrative Agent and to each Lender at all times and without advance notice.
Furthermore, so long as any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent and each Lender with access,
with prior notice and opportunity for Borrower to be present, to its suppliers,
service providers and customers.

          1.13 Taxes.

          (a) Any and all payments by Borrower hereunder or under the Notes
shall be made, in accordance with this Section 1.13, free and clear of and
without deduction for any and all present or future Taxes. If Borrower shall be
required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable
hereunder or under the Notes, (i) unless such Taxes are imposed as the result of
a determination that an applicable Certificate of Exemption (as defined in
Section 1.13(c)) did not entitle a Foreign Lender to an exemption from such
Taxes at the time such Foreign Lender became a Lender hereunder, the sum payable
shall be increased as much as shall be necessary so that after making all
required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable
under this Section 1.13) the Administrative Agent or Lenders, as applicable,
receive an amount equal to the sum they would have received had no such
deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions, and (iii)
Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing or other
authority in accordance with applicable law. Within thirty (30) days after the
date of any such payment of Taxes, Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative
Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

          (b) Borrower shall indemnify and, within ten (10) days of demand
therefor, pay the Administrative Agent and each Lender for the full amount of
Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as appropriate, with
respect to payments received from Borrower hereunder and any liability
(including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect
thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally asserted unless
such Taxes are imposed as the result of a determination that establishes that an
applicable Certificate of Exemption did not in fact entitle a Foreign Lender to
an exemption from such Taxes at the time such Foreign Lender became a Lender
hereunder.

          (c) Each Person organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the
United States (a "Foreign Person") as to which payments to be made under this
Agreement or under the Notes are completely exempt from United States
withholding tax under an applicable statute or tax treaty shall provide to
Borrower and the Administrative Agent a properly completed and executed IRS Form
W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN or other applicable form, certificate or document
prescribed by the IRS or the United States certifying as to such Foreign
Person's entitlement to such complete exemption (a "Certificate of Exemption").
Any Foreign Person that seeks to become a Lender under this Agreement shall
provide a Certificate of Exemption to Borrower and the Administrative Agent
prior to becoming a Lender hereunder. No Foreign Person may become a Lender
hereunder if such Foreign Person fails to deliver a Certificate of Exemption in
advance of becoming a Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) any Sale described
in Section

                                       11

<PAGE>

11.1(a) to a Foreign Person shall only become effective upon delivery by the
party to whom such Sale is made to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of
a Certificate of Exemption, and (ii) any participant or SPV described in Section
11.1(e) shall not be entitled to any benefit under Section 1.13 unless such
participant or SPV delivers to Borrower and the Administrative Agent a
Certificate of Exemption. In addition, any Lender that is not a Foreign Person
and that is a partnership or trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes shall
not be entitled to any payment by Borrower pursuant to Section 1.13(b) with
respect to any Taxes paid by such Lender with respect to any Foreign Person that
is a partner or owner of an interest in such Lender unless such Lender had
obtained a Certificate of Exemption from such Foreign Person at the later of the
times (i) such Lender became a Lender hereunder and (ii) such Foreign Person
became a partner or owner of an interest in such Lender.

          (d) Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after it
becomes aware of any circumstance that would result in any additional payment by
Borrower pursuant to Section 1.13(a) or (b), such Lender shall, to the extent
not inconsistent with such Lender's internal policies of general application use
reasonable commercial efforts to mitigate any Taxes that would result in such
payments by Borrower. If Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or
for the account of any Lender pursuant to this Section 1.13, then such Lender,
at the request of Borrower and at Borrower's expense, will change the
jurisdiction of its lending office if such change (i) will eliminate or reduce
any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue and (ii) as determined
by such Lender in its sole discretion, is not otherwise materially
disadvantageous to such Lender, provided, that the mere existence of fees,
charges, costs or expenses that such Borrower has offered and agreed to pay on
behalf of a Lender shall not be deemed to be disadvantageous to such Lender.

          1.14 Capital Adequacy; Increased Costs; Illegality.

          (a) If any law, treaty, governmental (or quasi-governmental) rule,
regulation, guideline or order regarding capital adequacy, reserve requirements
or similar requirements or compliance by any Lender with any request or
directive regarding capital adequacy, reserve requirements or similar
requirements (whether or not having the force of law), in each case, adopted
after the Closing Date, from any central bank or other Governmental Authority
increases or would have the effect of increasing the amount of capital, reserves
or other funds required to be maintained by such Lender and thereby reducing the
rate of return on such Lender's capital as a consequence of its obligations
hereunder, then Borrower shall from time to time upon demand by such Lender
(with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent) pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of such Lender, additional amounts
sufficient to compensate such Lender for such reduction. A certificate as to the
amount of that reduction and showing the basis of the computation thereof
submitted by such Lender to Borrower and to the Administrative Agent shall be
presumptive evidence of the matters set forth therein.

          (b) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in any law
or regulation (or any change in the interpretation thereof) other than in
respect of taxes (including income taxes) or (ii) the compliance with any
guideline or request from any central bank or other non-tax Governmental
Authority (whether or not having the force of law), in each case occurring after
the Closing Date, there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender of
agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Loan, then Borrower shall
from time to time, upon

                                       12

<PAGE>

demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent),
pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender additional
amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost. A
certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to Borrower and
to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, shall be presumptive evidence of the
matters set forth therein. Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable
after it becomes aware of any circumstances referred to above which would result
in any such increased cost, the affected Lender shall, to the extent not
inconsistent with such Lender's internal policies of general application, use
reasonable commercial efforts to minimize costs and expenses incurred by it and
payable to it by Borrower pursuant to this Section 1.14(b).

          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the
introduction of or any change in any law or regulation (or any change in the
interpretation thereof) after the Closing Date shall make it unlawful, or any
central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful,
for any Lender to agree to make or to make or to continue to fund or maintain
any LIBOR Loan, then, unless that Lender is able to make or to continue to fund
or to maintain such LIBOR Loan at another branch or office of that Lender
without, in that Lender's reasonable opinion, materially and adversely affecting
it or its Loans or the income obtained therefrom, on notice thereof and demand
therefor by such Lender to Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) the
obligation of such Lender to agree to make or to make or to continue to fund or
maintain LIBOR Loans shall terminate and (ii) Borrower shall forthwith prepay in
full all outstanding LIBOR Loans owing to such Lender, together with interest
accrued thereon, unless Borrower, within five (5) Business Days after the
delivery of such notice and demand, converts all LIBOR Loans into Index Rate
Loans.

          (d) Failure on the part of any Lender to demand compensation for any
increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in
return on capital with respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver of
such Lender's right to demand compensation with respect to such period or any
other period, provided, that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a
Lender pursuant to this Section 1.14 for any increased costs or reductions
incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower
of the circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of
such Lender's intention to claim compensation therefor.

          (e) Within thirty (30) days after receipt by Borrower of written
notice and demand from any Lender (an "Affected Lender") for payment of
additional amounts or increased costs as provided in Sections 1.13(a), 1.13(b),
1.14(a) or 1.14(b), Borrower may, at its option, notify the Administrative Agent
and such Affected Lender of its intention to replace the Affected Lender. So
long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower,
with the consent of the Administrative Agent, may obtain, at Borrower's expense,
a replacement Lender ("Replacement Lender") for the Affected Lender, which
Replacement Lender must be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
If Borrower obtains a Replacement Lender within ninety (90) days following
notice of its intention to do so, the Affected Lender must sell and assign its
Loans and Commitments to such Replacement Lender for an amount equal to the
principal balance of all Loans held by the Affected Lender and all accrued and
unpaid interest and Fees with respect thereto through the date of such sale and
such assignment shall not require the payment of an assignment fee to the
Administrative Agent; provided, that Borrower shall have reimbursed such
Affected Lender for the additional amounts or increased

                                       13

<PAGE>

costs that it is entitled to receive under this Agreement through the date of
such sale and assignment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not have
the right to obtain a Replacement Lender if the Affected Lender rescinds its
demand for increased costs or additional amounts within fifteen (15) days
following its receipt of Borrower's notice of intention to replace such Affected
Lender. Furthermore, if Borrower gives a notice of intention to replace and does
not so replace such Affected Lender within ninety (90) days thereafter,
Borrower's rights under this Section 1.14(e) shall terminate with respect to
such Affected Lender and Borrower shall promptly pay all increased costs or
additional amounts demanded by such Affected Lender pursuant to Sections
1.13(a), 1.13(b), 1.14(a) or 1.14(b).

          1.15 Regulation D Compensation.

          If and so long as a reserve requirement of the type referred to in
clause (i)(B) below is prescribed by the Federal Reserve Board (or any
successor), each Lender subject to such requirement may require Borrower to pay,
contemporaneously with each payment of interest on each such Lender's LIBOR
Loans, additional interest on such LIBOR Loan at a rate per annum determined by
such Lender up to but not exceeding the excess of (i) (A) the applicable LIBOR
Rate divided by (B) a number equal to 1.0 minus the aggregate (but without
duplication) of the rates (expressed as a decimal fraction) of reserve
requirements in effect on the day that is two (2) LIBOR Business Days prior to
the beginning of such LIBOR Period (including basic, supplemental, marginal and
emergency reserves under any regulations of the Federal Reserve Board or other
Governmental Authority having jurisdiction with respect thereto, as now and from
time to time in effect) for Eurocurrency funding (currently referred to as
"Eurocurrency Liabilities" in Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board) that
are required to be maintained by a member bank of the Federal Reserve System
over (ii) the applicable LIBOR Rate.

3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

          To induce the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to enter into this
Agreement, the Credit Parties executing this Agreement, jointly and severally,

and each Lender with respect to all Credit Parties, each and all of which shall
survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

          3.1 Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law.

          Each Credit Party (a) is a corporation, limited liability company or
limited partnership duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under
the laws of its respective jurisdiction of incorporation or organization set
forth in Disclosure Schedule 3.1; (b) is duly qualified to conduct business and
is in good standing in each other jurisdiction where its ownership or lease of

which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (c) has
the requisite power and authority to own, pledge, mortgage or otherwise encumber
and operate its properties, to lease the property it operates under lease and to
conduct its business as now conducted or proposed to be conducted; (d) subject
to specific representations regarding Environmental Laws, has all licenses,
permits, consents or approvals from or by, and has made all filings with, and
has given all notices to, all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction, to
the extent required for such ownership, operation and conduct, except where the
failure to do so would not result in losses or liabilities which could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (e) is in compliance
with its charter and bylaws or partnership or operating agreement, as
applicable; and (f) subject to specific representations set forth herein
regarding ERISA, Environmental Laws, tax and other laws, is in compliance with
all applicable provisions of law, except to the extent permitted by Bankruptcy
Code or where the failure to comply, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          3.2 Executive Offices, Collateral Locations, FEIN.

          As of the Closing Date, each Credit Party's name as it appears in
official filings in its state of incorporation or organization, state of
incorporation or organization, organization type, organization number, if any,
issued by its state of incorporation or organization, and the location as of the
Closing Date of each Credit Party's chief executive office, principal place of
business and location and the hangars, terminals, maintenance facilities,
warehouses and premises at which any Collateral is located as of the Closing

been kept at any location other than the locations listed on Disclosure Schedule
3.2 within four (4) months preceding the Closing Date (or since its acquisition
if less than four (4) months prior to the Closing Date). In addition, Disclosure
Schedule 3.2 lists the federal employer identification number of each Credit
Party as of the

                                       17

<PAGE>

Closing Date. Each Credit Party has only one jurisdiction of existence,
incorporation or organization, as applicable.

          3.3 Corporate Power, Authorization, Enforceable Obligations.

          Upon the entry by the Bankruptcy Court of the Final Order, the
execution, delivery and performance by each Credit Party of the Loan Documents
to which it is a party and the creation of all Liens provided for therein: (a)
are within such Person's power; (b) have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate, limited liability company or limited partnership action; (c) do not
contravene any provision of such Person's charter, bylaws or partnership or
operating agreement as applicable; (d) do not violate any law or regulation, or
any order or decree of any court or Governmental Authority; (e) do not conflict
with or result in the breach or termination of, constitute a default under or

material lease, material agreement or other material instrument entered into or
assumed by such Person after the commencement of the Cases to which such Person
is a party or by which such Person or any of its property is bound; (f) do not
result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the property of
such Person other than those in favor of the Administrative Agent for the
benefit of the Secured Parties, pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Final

Authority or any other Person, except (i) those referred to in Section 2.2(d),
all of which will have been duly obtained, made or complied with prior to the

Assignment of Claims Act of 1940 or any applicable state, county or municipal
law restricting the assignment of any Accounts for which the Account Debtor is
the United States government or a political subdivision thereof or any state,
county or municipality or department, agency or instrumentality thereof. Each of
the Loan Documents shall be duly executed and delivered by each Credit Party
that is a party thereto and each such Loan Document shall constitute a legal,
valid and binding obligation of such Credit Party enforceable against it in
accordance with its terms.

          3.4 Financial Statements and Projections.

          Except for the Projections, all Financial Statements concerning
Borrower and its Subsidiaries that are referred to below have been prepared in
accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods covered (except
as disclosed therein and except, with respect to unaudited Financial Statements,
for the absence of footnotes and normal year-end audit adjustments) and present
fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial position of Borrower
and its Subsidiaries as at the dates thereof and the consolidated results of
their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended.

          (a) Financial Statements. The following Financial Statements attached
hereto as Disclosure Schedule 3.4(a) have been delivered on the date hereof:

               (i) The audited consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2004
of Borrower and its Subsidiaries and the related consolidated statements of
operations, cash flows and shareowners' (deficit) equity for the Fiscal Year
then ended, reported on by Deloitte Touche LLP.

                                       18

<PAGE>

               (ii) The unaudited consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2005 of
Borrower and its Subsidiaries and the related consolidated statements of
operations and cash flows for the six (6) months then ended.

          (b) Projections. The Projections delivered to Lenders prior to the
date hereof have been prepared by Borrower and reflect projections for the
period beginning on August 1, 2005 on a month-by-month basis through December
31, 2007. The Projections are based upon the same accounting principles (other
than adjustments related to the impact of the Cases) as those used in the
preparation of the financial statements described above and are based on
assumptions believed by Borrower to be reasonable at the time such Projections
were delivered in light of conditions and facts known to Borrower as of the date
thereof (it being understood that projections by their nature are inherently
uncertain, the Projections are not a guaranty of future performance, and actual
results may differ materially from the Projections).

          3.5 Material Adverse Effect; Burdensome Restrictions; Default.

          Since the date of Borrower's Form 10-Q for the six-month period ended
June 30, 2005 as updated by subsequent public filings prior to September 10,
2005, (a) no Credit Party has incurred any obligations, contingent or
noncontingent liabilities, liabilities for Charges, long-term leases or unusual
forward or long-term commitments that are not reflected in the Projections
delivered to Lenders prior to the date hereof and that, alone or in the
aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (b)
no contract, lease or other agreement or instrument has been entered into by any
Credit Party or has become binding upon any Credit Party's assets and no law or
regulation applicable to any Credit Party has been adopted that has or could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (c) no Credit
Party is in default and to the best of Borrower's knowledge no third party is in
default under any material contract, lease or other agreement or instrument,
that alone or in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. Since the date of Borrower's Form 10-Q for the six-month period
ended June 30, 2005 as updated by subsequent public filings prior to September
10, 2005, no event has occurred, that alone or together with other events, could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          3.6 Ownership of Property; Real Estate; Liens.

          (a) Each Credit Party warrants that it has good, marketable, legal and
valid title to, or legal and valid leasehold interests in, all of its personal
property constituting Collateral.

          (b) As of the Closing Date, the real estate listed in Part 1 of
Disclosure Schedule 3.6 ("Owned Real Estate") constitutes substantially all of
the real property owned by any Credit Party. As of the Closing Date, Borrower
reasonably believes the leases and other agreements listed in Part 2 of
Disclosure Schedule 3.6 constitute all of the Material Real Estate Contracts.
Each Credit Party owns good and marketable fee simple title to all of its Owned
Real Estate. As of the Closing Date, Borrower has valid and enforceable
leasehold interests in all of its material leased real estate, excluding any
leased real estate that is occupied on a month to month or "at will" basis (such
material leased real estate of the Credit Parties, together with the Owned Real
Estate, being herein collectively referred to as "Real Estate"). As of the
Closing

                                       19

<PAGE>

Date, there are no purchase options, rights of first refusal or similar
contractual rights that exist with respect to the Owned Real Estate, except as
disclosed in Part 1 of Disclosure Schedule 3.6. As of the Closing Date, true,
correct and complete copies of all Material Real Estate Contracts and leases,
usufructs, use agreements or other occupancy or facility agreements affecting
the Owned Real Estate have been delivered to the Administrative Agent. Part 3 of
Disclosure Schedule 3.6 describes all of the leases, usufructs, use agreements
or other occupancy or facility agreements by a Credit Party for any Owned Real
Estate with respect to which such Credit Party is a landlord as of the Closing
Date. As of the Closing Date, none of the properties and assets of any Credit
Party are subject to any Liens other than Permitted Encumbrances and other Liens
permitted by Section 6.7. As of the Closing Date, no portion of any Credit
Party's Owned Real Estate has suffered any material damage by fire or other
casualty loss since September 10, 2005 that has not heretofore been repaired and
restored in all material respects to its original condition or otherwise
remedied. As of the Closing Date, Borrower reasonably believes all material
permits required to have been issued or appropriate to enable the Owned Real
Estate to be lawfully occupied and used for all of the purposes for which it is
currently occupied and used have been lawfully issued and are in full force and
effect. Since November 30, 2004, there have been no changes or improvements to
the Owned Real Estate that would require a change in any Credit Party's current
certificates of occupancy.

          (c) [Reserved.]

          (d) As of the Closing Date, each Credit Party that is party to the
Spare Parts Mortgage has established and is maintaining reasonable safeguards
against theft of the Spare Parts and the Spare Parts are located at the
Designated Spare Parts Location, except to the extent permitted under the Spare
Parts Mortgage.

          3.7 Labor Matters.

          Except as set forth on Disclosure Schedule 3.7: (a) no strikes are
pending against any Credit Party (i) in the United States and (ii) outside of
the United States, except those that, in the aggregate, would not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the operations of such Credit
Party; (b) no other material labor disputes against any Credit Party are pending
or, to any Credit Party's knowledge, threatened, except those that, in the
aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;
(c) hours worked by and payment made to employees of each Credit Party to such
Credit Party's knowledge, comply with the Fair Labor Standards Act and each
other federal, state, local or foreign law applicable to such matters except to
the extent that non-compliance could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect; (d) as of the Closing Date, no Credit Party is a party
to or bound by any domestic collective bargaining agreement (and true and
complete copies of any agreements described on Disclosure Schedule 3.7 have been
delivered to the Administrative Agent); (e) there is no organizing activity
involving any Credit Party pending or, to any Credit Party's knowledge,
threatened by any labor union or group of employees, except those that, in the
aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;
(f) there are no representation proceedings pending or, to any Credit Party's
knowledge, threatened with the National Mediation Board, and no labor
organization or group of employees of any Credit Party has made a pending demand
for recognition, except those that, in the aggregate, would not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (g) there are no material
complaints or charges

                                       20

<PAGE>

against any Credit Party pending or, to any Credit Party's knowledge, threatened
to be filed with any Governmental Authority or arbitrator based on, arising out
of, in connection with, or otherwise relating to the employment or termination
of employment by any Credit Party of any individual, except those that, in the
aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          3.8 Ventures, Subsidiaries and Affiliates; Outstanding Stock and
Indebtedness.

          Except as set forth in Disclosure Schedule 3.8, as of the Closing
Date, no Credit Party has any Subsidiaries, is engaged in any joint venture or
partnership with any other Person, or is an Affiliate of any other Person. As of
the Closing Date, all of the issued and outstanding Stock of each Credit Party
is owned by each of the Stockholders and in the amounts set forth in Disclosure
Schedule 3.8. Except as set forth in Disclosure Schedule 3.8, as of the Closing
Date, there are no outstanding rights to purchase, options, warrants or similar
rights or agreements pursuant to which any Credit Party may be required to
issue, sell, repurchase or redeem any of its Stock or other equity securities or
any Stock or other equity securities of its Subsidiaries. All outstanding
Indebtedness and Guaranteed Indebtedness of each Credit Party as of the Closing
Date (except for the Obligations) is described in Section 6.3 (including
Disclosure Schedule 6.3).

          3.9 Government Regulation.

          No Credit Party is required to register as an "investment company" as
such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940. No Credit Party is
subject to regulation under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 that
restricts or limits its ability to incur Indebtedness or to perform its
obligations hereunder. The making of the Loans by Lenders to Borrower, the
issuance of any Letter of Credit on behalf of Borrower, the application of the
proceeds thereof and repayment thereof will not violate any provision of any
such statute or any rule, regulation or order issued by the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

          3.10 Margin Regulations.

          No Credit Party is engaged, nor will it engage, principally or as one
of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose
of "purchasing" or "carrying" any "margin stock" as such terms are defined in
Regulation U of the Federal Reserve Board as now and from time to time hereafter
in effect (such securities being referred to herein as "Margin Stock"). None of
the proceeds of the Loans or other extensions of credit under this Agreement
will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying
any Margin Stock, for the purpose of reducing or retiring any Indebtedness that
was originally incurred to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or for any other
purpose that might cause any of the Loans or other extensions of credit under
this Agreement to be considered a "purpose credit" within the meaning of
Regulations T, U or X of the Federal Reserve Board.

          3.11 Taxes.

          Except as provided on Disclosure Schedule 3.11, (and except as
otherwise permitted by the Bankruptcy Court and the Bankruptcy Code) all Federal
and other material tax returns, reports and statements, including information
returns, required by any Governmental

                                       21

<PAGE>

Authority to be filed by any Credit Party have been filed with the appropriate
Governmental Authority, all such returns, reports and statements are true and
correct in all material respects and, subject to the automatic stay, all Charges
shown to be due and payable on such returns, reports and statements have been or
will be timely paid prior to the date on which any fine, penalty, interest or
late charge may be added thereto for nonpayment thereof, excluding Charges or
other amounts being contested in accordance with Section 5.2(b) and unless the
failure to so file or pay would not be reasonably expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect. Proper and accurate amounts have been withheld by each
Credit Party from amounts paid to its respective employees for all periods in
full and complete compliance in all material respects with all applicable
federal, state, local and foreign laws and such withholdings have been or will
be timely paid, subject to the automatic stay, to the respective Governmental
Authorities. Except as provided on Disclosure Schedule 3.11, to each Credit
Party's knowledge, as of the Closing Date, none of the Credit Parties and their
respective predecessors are liable for any Charges: (a) under any agreement
(including any tax sharing agreements) or (b) as a transferee. As of the Closing
Date, no Credit Party has agreed or been requested to make any adjustment under
IRC Section 481(a), by reason of a change in accounting method or otherwise,
which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          3.12 ERISA.

          (a) Disclosure Schedule 3.12(a) lists as of the Closing Date, all
Pension Plans, including Title IV Plans, Multiemployer Plans, ESOPs and all
Retiree Welfare Plans. Copies of all such listed Plans, together with a copy of
the latest form IRS/DOL 5500-series for each such Plan have been delivered to
the Administrative Agent. Except with respect to Multiemployer Plans, each
Qualified Plan has been determined by the IRS to qualify under Section 401 of
the IRC, the trusts created thereunder have been determined to be exempt from
tax under the provisions of Section 501 of the IRC and to the knowledge of any
Credit Party, nothing has occurred that would cause the loss of such
qualification or tax-exempt status. To the knowledge of any Credit Party and
except for non-compliance to the extent permitted under the Bankruptcy Code,
each Plan is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable
provisions of ERISA and the IRC. Each Credit Party and all ERISA Affiliates have
made all material contributions and paid all material amounts due as required by
either Section 412 of the IRC or Section 302 of ERISA prior to the date of
commencement of the Cases.

          (b) Except as set forth in Disclosure Schedule 3.12(b) or which would
reasonably be expected not to have a Material Adverse Effect, as of the Closing
Date (i) no Title IV Plan has any material Unfunded Pension Liability; (ii)
other than the Cases, no ERISA Event or event described in Section 4062(e) of
ERISA with respect to any Title IV Plan has occurred or is reasonably expected
to occur; (iii) there are no pending, or to the knowledge of any Credit Party,
threatened material claims (other than claims for benefits in the normal
course), sanctions, actions or lawsuits, asserted or instituted against any Plan
or any Person as fiduciary or sponsor of any Plan; (iv) no Credit Party or ERISA
Affiliate has incurred or reasonably expects to incur any material liability as
a result of a complete or partial withdrawal from a Multiemployer Plan; (v)
within the last five years no Title IV Plan of any Credit Party or ERISA
Affiliate has been terminated pursuant to a "standard termination" as that term
is used in Section 4041 of ERISA, nor has any Title IV Plan of any Credit Party
or ERISA Affiliate (determined at any time within the past five years) with
material Unfunded Pension Liabilities been transferred outside of the

                                       22

<PAGE>

"controlled group" (within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(14) of ERISA) of any
Credit Party or ERISA Affiliate; and (vi) except in the case of any ESOP, Stock
of all Credit Parties and their ERISA Affiliates makes up, in the aggregate, no
more than 10% of the fair market value of the assets of any Plan measured on the
basis of fair market value as of the latest valuation date of any Plan.

          3.13 No Litigation.

          Other than the Cases, no unstayed action, claim, lawsuit, demand,
investigation or proceeding is now pending or, to the knowledge of any officer
of such Credit Party, threatened against any Credit Party, before any
Governmental Authority or before any arbitrator or panel of arbitrators
(collectively, "Litigation") that, individually or in the aggregate, (a)
challenges any Credit Party's right or power to enter into or perform any of its
obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party, or the validity or
enforceability of any Loan Document or any action taken thereunder or (b) could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          3.14 Intellectual Property.

          Each Credit Party owns or has rights to use all Intellectual Property
necessary to continue to conduct its business as now conducted by it or
presently proposed to be conducted by it, and each U.S. registered Patent, U.S.
registered Trademark, U.S. registered Copyright and U.S. License in effect on
the Closing Date is listed, together with application or registration numbers,
as applicable, in Disclosure Schedule 3.14. To the knowledge of any Credit
Party, each Credit Party conducts its business and affairs without infringement
of or interference with any Intellectual Property of any other Person in any
material respect and no material claim or litigation regarding any of the
foregoing is pending or threatened. Except as set forth in Disclosure Schedule
3.14, as of the Closing Date, no Credit Party is aware of any infringement claim
by any other Person with respect to any material Intellectual Property.

          3.15 Full Disclosure.

          No information contained in this Agreement, any of the other Loan
Documents, Financial Statements or Collateral Reports or other written reports
from time to time prepared by any Credit Party and delivered hereunder or any
written statement prepared by any Credit Party and furnished by or on behalf of
any Credit Party to the Administrative Agent or Lender pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement (other than any Projections) contains or will contain, when taken
as a whole, any untrue statement of a material fact or omits or will omit to
state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or
therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made
and as of the date when made. Projections from time to time delivered hereunder
are or will be based upon the estimates and assumptions stated therein, all of
which Borrower believed at the time of delivery to be reasonable in light of the
conditions and facts known to Borrower as of such delivery date (it being
understood that projections by their nature are inherently uncertain, such
Projections are not a guaranty of future performance and actual results may
differ materially from those set forth in such Projections).

          (a) Except as set forth in Disclosure Schedule 3.16 or for any matter

the aggregate in a Fiscal Year, as of the Closing Date: (i) the Owned Real

which compliance includes obtaining, maintaining and complying with required

          (a) Unless payment thereof is precluded by the Cases and subject to
Section 5.2(b), each Credit Party shall pay and discharge or cause to be paid

Credit Party shall promptly pay or discharge such contested Charges, Taxes or

          (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 5.2 shall not be

<PAGE>

          Each Credit Party shall keep adequate Books and Records with respect
to its business activities in which proper entries, reflecting all financial
transactions, are made in accordance with GAAP and on a basis consistent with
the Financial Statements attached as Disclosure Schedule 3.4(a). Upon reasonable
request of the Administrative Agent, each Credit Party shall deliver any
requested Chattel Paper or Instrument to the Administrative Agent (in each case,
accompanied by instruments of transfer executed in blank), and shall, if
requested by the Administrative Agent, mark any Chattel Paper or Instrument that
has not been delivered to the Administrative Agent with a legend that provides
that the writing and the obligations evidenced or secured thereby are subject to
the security interest of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured
Parties.

          5.4 Insurance; Damage to or Destruction of Collateral. Except as set
forth in the Aircraft Mortgage and the Spare Parts Mortgage with respect to the
Collateral addressed therein:

          (a) The Credit Parties shall, at their sole cost and expense, maintain
insurance at all times against such risks as is customary for companies of the
same or similar size in the same or similar business and industry or as
otherwise required in the Collateral Documents. Such policies of insurance as in
effect on the Closing Date are described, collectively, in Part 1 and Part 2 of
Disclosure Schedule 3.17. Except for policies of insurance relating to
Collateral addressed by the Aircraft Mortgage and the Spare Parts Mortgage, the
policies of insurance (or the loss payable and additional insured endorsements
delivered to the Administrative Agent) described in Part 2 of Disclosure
Schedule 3.17, which lists those policies relating to the Collateral, shall
contain provisions pursuant to which the insurer agrees to provide thirty (30)
days' prior written notice to the Administrative Agent in the event of any
non-renewal, cancellation or material adverse amendment of any such insurance
policy. If any Credit Party at any time or times hereafter shall fail to obtain
or maintain any of the policies of insurance listed in Part 2 of Disclosure
Schedule 3.17 or to pay all premiums relating thereto, the Administrative Agent
may at any time or times thereafter obtain and maintain such policies of
insurance and pay such premiums and take any other action with respect thereto
that the Administrative Agent deem advisable. The Administrative Agent shall
have no obligation to obtain insurance for any Credit Party or pay any premiums
therefor. By doing so, the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have
waived any Default or Event of Default arising from any Credit Party's failure
to maintain such insurance or pay any premiums therefor. All sums so disbursed,
including reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs and other charges related
thereto, shall be payable on demand by Borrower to the Administrative Agent and
shall be additional Obligations hereunder secured by the Collateral.

          (b) The Administrative Agent reserves the right at any time upon any
change in any Credit Party's risk profile (including any change in the product
mix maintained by any Credit Party or any laws affecting the potential liability
of such Credit Party) to require, upon prior written notice to such Credit
Party, additional forms and limits of insurance, in the Administrative Agent's
reasonable opinion, to adequately protect both the Administrative Agent's and
the Lenders' interests in all or any portion of the Collateral needed to ensure
that each Credit Party is protected by insurance in amounts and with coverage
customary for its

                                       29

<PAGE>

industry with respect to such Collateral; such additional forms and limits of
insurance to be obtained and in effect within thirty (30) days of such written
notice. If reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, each Credit Party
shall deliver to the Administrative Agent from time to time a report of a
reputable insurance broker reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent,
with respect to its insurance policies.

          (c) Borrower on behalf of each Credit Party shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent, with respect to the insurance policies listed on Part 2 of
Disclosure Schedule 3.17, endorsements to (i) all "All Risk" property and
business interruption insurance naming the Administrative Agent for the benefit
of Secured Parties, as lender loss payee as its interests may appear; provided,
that, with respect to business interruption insurance only, so long as no Event
of Default has occurred or is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly release to Borrower any insurance proceeds received in connection with
such business interruption insurance, and (ii) all general liability and other
liability policies naming the Administrative Agent for the benefit of Secured
Parties, as an additional insured as its interests may appear. Borrower on
behalf of each Credit Party irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the
Administrative Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the
Administrative Agent), so long as the anticipated insurance proceeds exceed
$5,000,000, as Borrower's and each Credit Party's true and lawful agent and
attorney-in-fact for the purpose of making, settling and adjusting claims under
such "All Risk" property policies of insurance, endorsing the name of Borrower
or such Credit Party on any check or other item of payment for the proceeds of
such "All Risk" property policies of insurance and for making all determinations
and decisions with respect to such "All Risk" property policies of insurance.
The Administrative Agent shall have no duty to exercise any rights or powers
granted to them pursuant to the foregoing power-of-attorney. Borrower shall
promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any loss, damage, or destruction to
the Collateral in the amount of $1,000,000 or more, whether or not covered by
insurance. All Net Cash Proceeds from insurance required under the Loan
Documents shall be applied in accordance with Section 1.2.

          (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the Final Order, where
casualty or condemnation proceeds are required to be applied to the repair or
restoration of the affected property, which does not constitute Collateral
included in the Term A Borrowing Base, or to be delivered to a third party or
deposited in an escrow or similar account, by the express terms of any lease,
usufruct, use agreement or other occupancy or facility agreement to which
Borrower or any Credit Party is a party and that either (i) constitutes a Lien
permitted hereunder having priority over the Administrative Agent's Liens, for
the benefit of Secured Parties or (ii) affects leased real estate or usufruct or
pursuant to the express terms of documents entered into in connection with ARB
Indebtedness, either existing as of the Closing Date or permitted under this
Agreement, then the Administrative Agent's rights under this Agreement with
respect to any casualty or condemnation proceeds or insurance policies required
to be maintained under any such lease, usufruct, use agreement or other
occupancy or facility agreement or other document entered into in connection
with such ARB Indebtedness to which Borrower or any Credit Party is a party
shall be subject to the terms and conditions of such agreement, including
without limitation the settlement of claims, the repair and restoration
obligations of Borrower or any Credit Party and the delivery or deposit of any
casualty or condemnation proceeds for repair or restoration.

                                       30

<PAGE>

          5.5 Compliance with Laws.

          Except as otherwise permitted by the Bankruptcy Code, each Credit
Party shall comply with all federal, state, local and foreign laws and
regulations applicable to it, including labor laws, and Environmental Laws and
Environmental Permits, and laws and regulations of any Aviation Authority
applicable to it, except to the extent that the failure to comply, individually
or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect (including, without limitation, as a result of the loss of any material
Permit).

          5.6 Intellectual Property.

          Subject to Section 6.8(i), each Credit Party shall own or have rights
to use all Intellectual Property necessary to continue to conduct its business
as now conducted by it or presently proposed to be conducted by it. Each Credit
Party shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in
full force and effect at all times all material registered Patents, Trademarks,
trade names, Copyrights and service marks necessary in the conduct of its
business. Each Credit Party shall conduct its business and affairs without
infringement of or interference with any Intellectual Property of any other
Person in any material respect.

          5.7 Environmental Matters.

          Except as otherwise required by the Bankruptcy Code, each Credit Party
shall and shall cause each Person within its control to: (a) conduct its
operations and keep and maintain its Real Estate in compliance with all
Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits other than noncompliance that could
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (b) implement any
and all investigation, remediation, removal and response actions that are
necessary to comply in all material respects with Environmental Laws and
Environmental Permits pertaining to the presence, generation, treatment,
storage, use, disposal, transportation or Release of any Hazardous Material on,
at, in, under, above, to, from or about any of its Real Estate; (c) notify the
Administrative Agent promptly after such Credit Party becomes aware of any
violation of Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits or any Release on, at,
in, under, above, to, from or about any Real Estate that is reasonably likely to
result in any Credit Party incurring Environmental Liabilities in excess of
$500,000 individually or $2,500,000 in the aggregate in a Fiscal Year; and (d)
promptly forward to the Administrative Agent a copy of any order, notice,
request for information or any communication or report received by such Credit
Party in connection with any such violation or Release or any other matter
relating to any Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits that could
reasonably be expected to result in any Credit Party incurring Environmental
Liabilities in excess of $500,000 individually or $2,500,000 in the aggregate in
a Fiscal Year. If the Administrative Agent at any time has a reasonable basis to
believe that there may be a violation of any Environmental Laws or Environmental
Permits by any Credit Party or any Environmental Liability arising thereunder,
or a Release of Hazardous Materials on, at, in, under, above, to, from or about
any of its Real Estate, that, in each case, could reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect, then each Credit Party shall, upon the Administrative
Agent's written request (i) cause the performance of such environmental audits
including subsurface sampling of soil and groundwater, and preparation of such
environmental reports, at Borrower's expense, as the Administrative Agent may
from time to time reasonably request, which shall be conducted by

                                       31

<PAGE>

reputable environmental consulting firms reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent and shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to
the Administrative Agent, and (ii) permit the Administrative Agent or their
representatives to have access to all Real Estate (subject, in the case of
leased Real Estate, to the terms of the applicable lease or other agreement
which governs rights of access to leased Real Estate) for the purpose of
conducting such environmental audits and testing as the Administrative Agent
deem appropriate, including subsurface sampling of soil and groundwater;
provided, that the Administrative Agent shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to cause such audits or testing to be conducted in a manner that does
not unreasonably interfere with the operations of the relevant Credit Party.
Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for the reasonable costs of
such audits and tests and the same will constitute a part of the Obligations
secured hereunder.

          5.8 Landlords' Agreements; Bailee Letters.

          If requested by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion,
each Credit Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a
landlord's agreement or bailee letter, as applicable, from the lessor of each
leased property or bailee with respect to any warehouse, processor or converter
facility, maintenance facilities or other location where Collateral with an
aggregate book value in excess of $10,000,000 is stored or located, in each
case, to the extent the Liens and other unstayed rights of the applicable
warehouseman, bailee or lessor are senior to or pari passu with the Liens of the
Administrative Agent (each such location, a "Material Location"), which
agreement or letter shall contain a waiver or subordination of all Liens or
claims that the landlord or bailee may assert against the Collateral at that
location, and shall otherwise be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance
to the Administrative Agent. With respect to each Material Location leased or
owned on or after the Closing Date, if the Administrative Agent has requested
but, within sixty (60) days following such request, has not received a landlord
agreement or bailee letter, Borrower's Eligible Spare Parts, Eligible Ground
Service Equipment and Eligible Tooling at that location shall, in the
Administrative Agent's discretion, be subject to such Reserves as may be
established by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable credit judgment. Each
Credit Party shall timely and fully pay and perform its material obligations
under all leases and other agreements entered into or assumed after the
commencement of the Cases in all respects with respect to Material Locations.

          5.9 [Reserved.]

          5.10 Notices.

          Promptly after the sending or filing thereof, Borrower shall send
Administrative Agent copies of all material notices, certificates or reports
delivered pursuant to, or in connection with, any Post-Petition Skymiles
Facility Document.

          5.11 Further Assurances.

          Subject to Section 5.12(b), each Credit Party executing this Agreement
agrees that it shall, at such Credit Party's expense and upon the reasonable
request of the Administrative Agent, duly execute and deliver, or cause to be
duly executed and delivered, to the Administrative Agent such further
instruments and do and cause to be done such further acts as

                                       32

<PAGE>

may be necessary or proper in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative
Agent, in accordance with its customary business practices for comparable debtor
in possession transactions, to carry out more effectively the provisions and
purposes of this Agreement and each Loan Document.

          5.12 Additional Guaranties and Collateral Documents.

          (a) Except as otherwise set forth in the Aircraft Mortgage, to the
extent not delivered to the Administrative Agent on or before the Closing Date

Subsidiaries of any Credit Party after the Closing Date), Borrower agrees
promptly to do, or cause each Subsidiary of Borrower (other than Excluded
Subsidiaries) to do, each of the following, unless otherwise agreed by the
Administrative Agent:

               (i) deliver to the Administrative Agent such duly executed
     supplements and amendments to this Agreement, in each case in form and

     guaranties, as primary obligor and not as surety, the full and punctual
     payment when due of the Obligations or any part thereof;

               (ii) deliver to the Administrative Agent such duly executed
     supplements and amendments to any of the Collateral Documents, in each case
     in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent
     and as the Administrative Agent reasonably deems necessary in order to (A)
     effectively grant to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the
     Secured Parties, a valid, perfected and enforceable security interest in
     all assets, personal property or property interests that constitute
     Collateral owned by any Credit Party and (B) effectively grant to the
     Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a valid,
     perfected and enforceable security interest in all Stock and other debt
     Securities of any Credit Party and each direct Subsidiary of each Credit
     Party (other than the Stock of the Excluded Issuers); provided, however,
     that, in no event shall (x) more than 65% of the outstanding voting Stock
     of any Subsidiary which is not a Domestic Subsidiary be pledged to secure
     the Obligations or (y) the Stock of any joint venture company be pledged to
     the extent that such pledge is restricted by legally binding arrangements
     between the joint venture parties;

               (iii) deliver to the Administrative Agent all certificates,
     instruments and other documents representing all Collateral required to be

such suspension as a result of an order by an Aviation Authority due to a force
majeure or any other extraordinary event similarly affecting all major U.S.
commercial carriers) or entry of an order by the Bankruptcy Court authorizing
the same.

          (k) Any Change of Control occurs.

          (l) Any Air Carrier shall cease to be a Certificated Air Carrier or a
"citizen of the United States" as defined in Section 40102(a)(15) of Title 49.

          (m) (i) In the case of any Primary Route, any applicable Aviation
Authority revokes, terminates or cancels any Credit Party's Permits to use,
occupy or maintain such Primary Route, whether as a result of any revocation,
termination or cancellation of any Primary Gate, Primary Slot or otherwise; (ii)
in the case of any Primary Slot, any applicable Aviation Authority revokes,
terminates or cancels any Credit Party's Permits to use, occupy or maintain such
Primary Slot or any Credit Party surrenders such Primary Slot to the applicable
Aviation Authority; provided, that an Event of Default shall not occur under
this clause (m)(ii) if the aggregate value of all such Primary Slots that have
been revoked, terminated, surrendered or canceled does not exceed an amount
equal to the sum of (i) $25,000,000 plus (ii) the lesser of (x) the amount of
cash and Cash Equivalents held in the SGR Cash Collateral Account and (y)
$25,000,000; provided, further, that, in the event the Administrative Agent, in
its reasonable discretion, determines that the aggregate value of all such
Primary Slots that have been revoked, terminated, surrendered or canceled
exceeds $25,000,000, the Administrative Agent shall promptly request an
appraisal from an Appraiser, and each Credit Party shall permit such appraisals
to be conducted, for purposes of determining such value.

                                       52

<PAGE>

          (n) In the case of any other Slots, Gates or Routes, any applicable
Aviation Authority modifies, suspends, revokes, terminates, cancels or otherwise
takes any action that adversely affects any Credit Party's Permits or any Credit
Party's use or occupation or maintenance of such Slots, Gates and Routes due to
any Credit Party's failure to abide by applicable law or any contract governing
the use of such Slots, Gates and Routes, or any Credit Party otherwise ceases to
use, occupy or maintain such Slots, Gates and Routes, and any event referred to
in this clause (n) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

          (o) Any Lien shall arise on the assets of any Credit Party in favor of
the PBGC or an ERISA Plan and such lien has not been stayed pursuant to the
Bankruptcy Code, but only to the extent that such Lien could reasonably be
expected to result in liability to any Credit Party in an amount which would
exceed $1,000,000.

          (p) Any of the Cases shall be dismissed (or the Bankruptcy Court shall
make a ruling requiring the dismissal of the Cases) or converted to a case under
chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code (except to the extent the disposition of assets
upon such liquidation would be permitted under Section 6.8), or any Credit Party
shall file any pleading requesting any such relief; a trustee under chapter 7 or
chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, a responsible officer or an examiner with
enlarged powers relating to the operation of the business (powers beyond those
set forth in section 1106(a)(3) and (4) of the Bankruptcy Code) under section
1106(b) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be appointed in any of the Cases; or an
application shall be filed by any Credit Party for the approval of, or the Court
shall enter an order granting, (i) other than any Claim of Amex under the
Post-Petition Skymiles Facility Documents with respect to the Skymiles

claims of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents or,
without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, any other claim
having priority over any or all administrative expenses of the kind specified in
sections 503(b) or 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (other than the Carve-Out) or
(ii) any Lien on the Collateral having a priority senior to or pari passu with
the Liens and security interests granted herein, except the Liens on Skymiles
Collateral securing the obligations under the Post-Petition Skymiles Facility
and except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

          (q) Any Credit Party shall file a motion seeking, or the Bankruptcy
Court shall enter, an order (i) approving any payment (as adequate protection or
otherwise) on account of any Claim against any Credit Party arising or deemed to
have arisen prior to the Petition Date, other than a Permitted Prepetition
Payment, (ii) approving any other First Day Order not reasonably acceptable to
the Administrative Agent, (iii) granting relief from the automatic stay
applicable under section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code to any holder of any
security interest to permit foreclosure or obtain liens on any assets which have
a value in excess of $10,000,000 (it being understood that neither the
relinquishment by the Borrower or Guarantors of Section 1110 Assets, nor the
foreclosure of security interests in Section 1110 Assets (or in property in the
possession of the applicable secured party) as to which defaults have not been
cured pursuant to Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be considered to be
included in this paragraph) provided that, if any Credit Party would otherwise
be permitted under this Agreement to make a payment to the holder of a security
interest in cash or Cash Equivalents ("Cash Collateral"), and the obligation to
make such payment is secured by such Cash Collateral, then in lieu of making
such payment, such Credit Party may direct or authorize such secured party to,
and such secured

                                       53

<PAGE>

party may, apply such Cash Collateral to satisfy such payment obligation
(including by way of setoff against or foreclosure on such Cash Collateral),
(iv) authorizing the sale of all or substantially all of Borrower's assets
(unless such order contemplates payment in full in cash of the Obligations upon
consummation of such sale, whether pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization or
otherwise) or (v) except to the extent the disposition of assets upon such
liquidation would be permitted under Section 6.8, approving the implementation
of liquidation under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in any Case; or

          (r) (i) The Final Order shall cease to be in full force and effect, or
(ii) any Credit Party shall fail to comply with the terms of the Final Order in
any material respect, or (iii) the Final Order shall be amended, supplemented,
stayed, reversed, vacated or otherwise modified (or any of the Credit Parties
shall apply for authority to do so) in any manner that affects the rights or
duties of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or the Lenders, in each case,
without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

          8.2 Remedies.

          (a) If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, without
further order of, application to, or action by, the Bankruptcy Court, the
Administrative Agent may (and at the written request of any of the Requisite
Term A Lenders, the Requisite Term B Lenders or the Requisite Term C Lenders
shall), without notice except as otherwise expressly provided herein, increase
the rate of interest applicable to the Loans to the Default Rate.

          (b) If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, without
further order of, application to, or action by, the Bankruptcy Court, (i) the
Administrative Agent may (and at the written request of (A) the Requisite
Lenders or (B) after 120 days following the occurrence of such Event of Default,
any of the Requisite Term A Lenders, the Requisite Term B Lenders or the
Requisite Term C Lenders, shall), without notice, declare all or any portion of
the Obligations, including all or any portion of any Loan to be forthwith due
and payable, all without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any
kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower and each other Credit Party;
or (ii) the Administrative Agent may (and at the written request of the
Requisite Lenders, shall), without notice except as required by the Final Order,
exercise any rights and remedies provided to the Administrative Agent under the
Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the
Code.

          (c) In addition, subject solely to any requirement of the giving of
notice by the terms of the Final Order, the automatic stay provided in section
362 of the Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed automatically vacated without further
action or order of the Bankruptcy Court and the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders shall be entitled to exercise all of their respective rights and
remedies under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all rights and
remedies with respect to the Collateral and the Guarantors.

          8.3 Waivers by Credit Parties.

          Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, by applicable law
or the Final Order, each Credit Party waives: (a) presentment, demand and
protest and notice of presentment, dishonor, notice of intent to accelerate,
notice of acceleration, protest, default,

                                       54

<PAGE>

nonpayment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of
any or all commercial paper, accounts, contract rights, documents, instruments,
chattel paper and guaranties at any time held by the Administrative Agent on
which any Credit Party may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies and
confirms whatever the Administrative Agent may do in this regard, (b) all rights
to notice and a hearing prior to the Administrative Agent's taking possession or
control of, or to the Administrative Agent's replevy, attachment or levy upon,
the Collateral or any bond or security that might be required by any court prior
to allowing the Administrative Agent to exercise any of their remedies, and (c)
the benefit of all valuation, appraisal, marshaling and exemption laws.

9. GUARANTY

          9.1 Guaranty of Obligations of Borrower. Each Guarantor hereby jointly
and severally unconditionally guarantees to Secured Parties, and their
respective successors, endorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt payment
(whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and performance of
the Obligations of Borrower. Guarantors agree that this Agreement is a guaranty
of payment and performance and not of collection, and that their obligations
under this Agreement shall be primary, absolute and unconditional, irrespective
of, and unaffected by:

          (a) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability or any
future amendment of, or change in any other Loan Document or any other
agreement, document or instrument to which any Credit Party and/or Guarantors
are or may become a party;

          (b) the absence of any action to enforce any other Loan Document or
the waiver or consent by any Secured Party with respect to any of the provisions
thereof;

          (c) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect its
Lien against, any Collateral for the Obligations or any action, or the absence
of any action, by Secured Parties in respect thereof (including, without
limitation, the release of any such security);

          (d) the insolvency of any Credit Party; or

          (e) any other action or circumstances which might otherwise constitute
a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor,

it being agreed by each Guarantor that its obligations under this Agreement
shall not be discharged until the Termination Date. Each Guarantor shall be
regarded, and shall be in the same position, as principal debtor with respect to
the Obligations. Each Guarantor agrees that any notice or directive given at any
time to Secured Parties which is inconsistent with the waiver in the immediately
preceding sentence shall be null and void and may be ignored by Secured Parties,
and, in addition, may not be pleaded or introduced as evidence in any litigation
relating to this Agreement for the reason that such pleading or introduction
would be at variance with the written terms of this Agreement, unless Secured
Parties have specifically agreed otherwise in writing. It is agreed among each
Guarantor and Secured Parties that the foregoing waivers are of the essence of
the transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents and that, but for this
Agreement and such waivers, Secured Parties would decline to enter into this
Agreement.

                                       55

<PAGE>

          9.2 Demand by Secured Parties. In addition to the terms of the
Guaranty set forth in Section 9.1 hereof, and in no manner imposing any
limitation on such terms, it is expressly understood and agreed that, if, at any
time, the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations under this Agreement
(including all accrued interest thereon) is declared to be immediately due and
payable, then Guarantors shall, without demand (except as required by the Final
Order), pay to the holders of the Obligations the entire amount of the
outstanding Obligations due and owing to such holders. Payment by Guarantors
shall be made to Administrative Agent in immediately available federal funds to
the Cash Collateral Account and applied to the Obligations in accordance with
Section 1.3.

          9.3 Enforcement of Guaranty. In no event shall any Secured Party have
any obligation (although it is entitled, at its option) to proceed against
Borrower or any other Credit Party or any Collateral pledged to secure
Obligations before seeking satisfaction from any or all of the Guarantors, and
Secured Parties may proceed, prior or subsequent to, or simultaneously with, the
enforcement of Secured Parties' rights hereunder, to exercise any right or
remedy which it may have against any Collateral, as a result of any Lien it may
have as security for all or any portion of the Obligations.

          9.4 Waiver. In addition to the waivers contained in Section 9.1
hereof, Guarantors waive, and agree that they shall not at any time insist upon,
plead or in any manner whatever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any
appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, marshaling of assets or redemption laws,
or exemption, whether now or at any time hereafter in force, which may delay,
prevent or otherwise affect the performance by Guarantors of their Obligations
under, or the enforcement by Secured Parties of, this Agreement. Guarantors
hereby waive diligence, presentment and demand (whether for non-payment or
protest or of acceptance, maturity, extension of time, change in nature or form
of the Obligations, acceptance of further security, release of further security,
composition or agreement arrived at as to the amount of, or the terms of, the
Obligations, notice of adverse change in Borrower's financial condition or any
other fact which might increase the risk to Guarantors) with respect to any of
the Obligations or all other demands whatsoever and waive the benefit of all
provisions of law which are or might be in conflict with the terms of this
Agreement. Guarantors represent, warrant and jointly and severally agree that,
as of the date of this Agreement, their obligations under this Agreement are not
subject to any offsets or defenses against Secured Parties or any Credit Party
of any kind. Guarantors further jointly and severally agree that their
obligations under this Agreement shall not be subject to any counterclaims or
offsets or defenses against Secured Parties or against any Credit Party of any
kind which may arise in the future.

          9.5 Benefit of Guaranty. The provisions of this Agreement are for the
benefit of Secured Parties and their respective successors, transferees,
endorsees and assigns, and nothing herein contained shall impair, as between any
Credit Party and Secured Parties, the obligations of any Credit Party under the
Loan Documents. In the event all or any part of the Obligations are transferred,
indorsed or assigned by any Secured Party to any Person or Persons, any
reference to "Secured Party" herein shall be deemed to refer equally to such
Person or Persons.

                                       56

<PAGE>

          9.6 Modification of Obligations, Etc. Each Guarantor hereby
acknowledges and agrees that Secured Parties may at any time or from time to
time, with or without the consent of, or notice to, Guarantors or any of them:

          (a) change or extend the manner, place or terms of payment of, or
renew or alter all or any portion of, the Obligations;

          (b) take any action under or in respect of the Loan Documents in the
exercise of any remedy, power or privilege contained therein or available to it
at law, equity or otherwise, or waive or refrain from exercising any such
remedies, powers or privileges;

          (c) amend or modify, in any manner whatsoever, the Loan Documents,
other than this Article 9;

          (d) extend or waive the time for any Credit Party's performance of, or
compliance with, any term, covenant or agreement on its part to be performed or
observed under the Loan Documents, or waive such performance or compliance or
consent to a failure of, or departure from, such performance or compliance;

          (e) take and hold Collateral for the payment of the Obligations
guaranteed hereby or sell, exchange, release, dispose of, or otherwise deal
with, any property pledged, mortgaged or conveyed, or in which Secured Parties
have been granted a Lien, to secure any Obligations;

          (f) release anyone who may be liable in any manner for the payment of
any amounts owed by other Guarantors or any other Credit Party to any Secured
Party;

          (g) modify or terminate the terms of any intercreditor or
subordination agreement pursuant to which claims of other creditors of any
Guarantor or any Credit Party are subordinated to the claims of Secured Parties;
and/or

          (h) apply any sums by whomever paid or however realized to any amounts
owing by any other Guarantor or any other Credit Party to any Secured Party in
such manner as any Secured Party shall determine in its discretion;

and Secured Parties shall not incur any liability to Guarantors as a result
thereof, and no such action shall impair or release the Obligations of
Guarantors or any of them under this Agreement.

          9.7 Waiver of Subrogation, Etc. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, or in any other Loan Document, each Guarantor
hereby:

          (a) expressly and irrevocably waives, on behalf of itself and its
successors and assigns (including any surety), any and all rights at law or in
equity to subrogation, to reimbursement, to exoneration, to contribution, to
indemnification, to set off or to any other rights that could accrue to a surety
against a principal, to a guarantor against a principal, to a guarantor against
a maker or obligor, to an accommodation party against the party accommodated, to
a holder or transferee against a maker, or to the holder of any claim against
any Person, and which such Guarantor may have or hereafter acquire against any
Credit Party in

                                       57

<PAGE>

connection with or as a result of such Guarantor's execution, delivery and/or
performance of this Agreement, or any other documents to which such Guarantor is
a party or otherwise; and

          (b) acknowledges and agrees that this waiver is intended to benefit
Secured Parties and shall not limit or otherwise effect any Guarantor's
liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Agreement and their rights
under this Section 9.7 shall survive payment in full of the Obligations.

          9.8 Election of Remedies. If Administrative Agent may, under
applicable law, proceed to realize benefits under any of the Loan Documents
giving Secured Parties a Lien upon any Collateral owned by any Credit Party,
either by judicial foreclosure or by non-judicial sale or enforcement,
Administrative Agent may, at its sole option, determine which of such remedies
or rights it may pursue without affecting any of such rights and remedies under
this Agreement. If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies,
Administrative Agent shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including its
right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Credit Party, whether because
of any applicable laws pertaining to "election of remedies" or the like,
Guarantors hereby consent to such action by Administrative Agent and waive any
claim based upon such action, even if such action by Administrative Agent shall
result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation which Guarantors
might otherwise have had but for such action by Administrative Agent. Any
election of remedies which results in the denial or impairment of the right of
Administrative Agent to seek a deficiency judgment against any Credit Party
shall not impair each Guarantor's obligation to pay the full amount of the
Obligations. In the event Administrative Agent shall bid at any foreclosure or
trustee's sale or at any private sale permitted by law or the Loan Documents,
Administrative Agent may bid all or less than the amount of the Obligations and
the amount of such bid need not be paid by Administrative Agent but shall be
credited against the Obligations in accordance with Section 1.3. The amount of
the successful bid at any such sale shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair
market value of the Collateral and the difference between such bid amount and
the remaining balance of the Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the
amount of the Obligations guaranteed under this Agreement, notwithstanding that
any present or future law or court decision or ruling may have the effect of
reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which Secured Parties might
otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.

10. SECURITY

          10.1 Security.

          (a) To secure the prompt and complete payment, performance and
observance of all of the Obligations, in addition to other "Collateral" upon

Collateral, such property shall be deemed at all times from and after the date
such property ceased to be Excluded Collateral to constitute Collateral and (ii)
any General Intangibles or other rights arising under any contract, instrument,
license or other document if the grant of a security interest therein would

clause (ii) such restriction is not terminated or rendered unenforceable or
otherwise deemed ineffective by any applicable law.

          (b) [Reserved].

          (c) To the extent a security interest hereunder would be created in
any asset in which a security interest is created under any Collateral Document,
the rights, remedies and obligations of the relevant Credit Party and the

further instruments and documents and take such further actions as the
Administrative Agent may deem desirable to obtain the full benefits of any
security interest granted or purported to be granted by such Credit Party
hereunder and of the rights and powers herein granted, including (i) upon the
reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, using its commercially
reasonable efforts to secure all consents and approvals necessary or appropriate

Supporting Obligation for which Administrative Agent's security interest is
perfected, using its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the issuer and/or
confirmation bank with respect to such Letter-of-Credit Rights to enter into a
tri-party agreement with Administrative Agent assigning such Letter-of-Credit
Rights to Administrative Agent and directing all payments thereunder to a
Blocked Account, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Administrative Agent, (viii) taking all steps necessary to grant the
Administrative Agent control of all electronic chattel paper in accordance with
the Code and all "transferable records" as defined in each of the Uniform
Electronic Transactions Act and the Electronic Signatures in Global and National
Commerce Act, (ix) promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days
after the same is acquired by it, notifying the Administrative Agent of any
commercial tort claim (as defined in the Code) involving a claim of more than
$1,000,000 acquired by it and if requested by the Administrative Agent, entering
into a supplement to this Agreement, granting to Administrative Agent a Lien in
such commercial tort claim, (x) maintaining complete and accurate stock records,
(xi) except as otherwise provided in clause (vii) hereof, delivering to the
Administrative Agent all documents, certificates and Instruments necessary or
desirable to perfect the Administrative Agent's Lien on letters of credit on
which such Credit Party is named as beneficiary and all acceptances issued in
connection therewith and (xii) taking such other steps as are deemed necessary
or desirable to maintain the Administrative Agent's security interest in the
Collateral.

          (b) Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative
Agent at any time and from time to time to file in any filing office in any
Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction any initial financing statements and
amendments thereto that (a) indicate the Collateral (i) as all assets of such
Credit Party or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular
asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the
Code in such jurisdiction, or (ii) as being of an equal or lesser scope or with
greater detail, and (b) contain any other information required by part 5 of
Article 9 of the Code for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any
financing statement or amendment, including (i) whether such Credit

                                       61

<PAGE>

Party is an organization, the type of organization and any organization
identification number issued to such Credit Party, and (ii) in the case of a
financing statement filed as a fixture filing, a sufficient description of real
property to which the Collateral relates. Each Credit Party agrees to furnish
any such information to the Administrative Agent promptly upon request. Each
Credit Party also ratifies its authorization for the Administrative Agent to
have filed in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction any initial financing
statements or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof.

          (c) Notwithstanding subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 10.2, or
any failure on the part of any Credit Party or the Administrative Agent to take
any of the actions set forth in such subsections, the Liens and security
interests granted herein shall be deemed valid, enforceable and perfected by
entry of the Final Order. No financing statement, notice of lien, mortgage, deed
of trust or similar instrument in any jurisdiction or filing office need be
filed or any other action taken in order to validate and perfect the Liens and
security interests granted by or pursuant to this Agreement or the Final Order.

          10.3 Rights of Lender; Limitations on Lenders' Obligations.

          (a) Subject to each Credit Party's rights and duties under the
Bankruptcy Code (including section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code), it is expressly
agreed by each Credit Party that, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, each such Credit Party shall remain liable under each of its
Contracts and each of its Licenses to observe and perform all the conditions and
obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, unless such Credit
Party determines in its reasonable good faith judgment that such Contract or
License is no longer valuable to such Credit Party's business, economically or
otherwise. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any
obligation or liability under any Contract or License by reason of or arising
out of this Agreement or the granting herein of a Lien thereon or the receipt by
Administrative Agent or any Secured Party of any payment relating to any
Contract or License pursuant hereto. Neither Administrative Agent nor any
Secured Party shall be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill
any of the obligations of any Credit Party under or pursuant to any Contract or
License, or to make any payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or the
sufficiency of any payment received by it or the sufficiency of any performance
by any party under any Contract or License, or to present or file any claims, or
to take any action to collect or enforce any performance or the payment of any
amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any
time or times.

          (b) Subject to Section 10.5 hereof, the Administrative Agent
authorizes each Credit Party to collect its Accounts, provided that such
collection is performed in accordance with such Credit Party's customary
procedures, and the Administrative Agent may, upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of any Event of Default and without notice, other than any
requirement of notice provided in the Final Order, limit or terminate said
authority at any time.

          (c) Subject to any requirement of notice provided in the Final Order,
the Administrative Agent may at any time after an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing without prior notice to any Credit Party, notify Account
Debtors and other Persons obligated on the Collateral that Administrative Agent
has a security interest therein, and that payments shall

                                       62

<PAGE>

be made directly to Administrative Agent. Subject to any requirement of notice
provided in the Final Order, upon the reasonable request of Administrative
Agent, each Credit Party shall so notify Account Debtors and other Persons
obligated on Collateral. Once any such notice has been given to any Account
Debtor or other Person obligated on the Collateral, the affected Credit Party
shall not give any contrary instructions to such Account Debtor or other Person
without Administrative Agent's prior written consent. Subject to any requirement
of notice provided in the Final Order, upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may in its own
name, or in the name of others, communicate with such parties to such Accounts,
Contracts, Instruments, Investment Property and Chattel Paper to verify with
such Persons to the Administrative Agent's reasonable satisfaction the
existence, amount and terms of any such Accounts, Contracts, Instruments,
Investment Property or Chattel Paper.

          (d) Subject to any requirement of notice provided in the Final Order,
Administrative Agent may at any time in Administrative Agent's own name, in the
name of a nominee of Administrative Agent or in the name of any Credit Party
communicate (by mail, telephone, facsimile or otherwise) with Account Debtors to
verify with such Persons, to Administrative Agent's satisfaction, the existence,
amount, terms of, and any other matter relating to, Accounts and/or payment
intangibles comprising Collateral; provided that unless an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent shall not do any
of the foregoing except during normal business hours and after giving such
Credit Party reasonable prior notice and opportunity to be present. If an Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Credit Party, at its own
expense, shall cause the independent certified public accountants then engaged
by such Credit Party to prepare and deliver to Administrative Agent and each
Secured Party at any time and from time to time promptly upon Administrative
Agent's written request the following reports with respect to each Credit Party:
(i) a reconciliation of all Accounts; (ii) an aging of all Accounts; (iii) trial
balances; and (iv) a test verification of such Accounts as Administrative Agent
may request. Administrative Agent may at any time in Administrative Agent's own
name, in the name of a nominee of Administrative Agent or in the name of any
Credit Party communicate (by mail, telephone, facsimile or otherwise) with
parties to Contracts and obligors in respect of Instruments to verify with such
Persons, to Administrative Agent's satisfaction, the existence, amount, terms
of, and any other matter relating to, Instruments, Chattel Paper and/or payment
intangibles comprising Collateral; provided that unless an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent shall not do any
of the foregoing except during normal business hours and after giving such
Credit Party reasonable prior notice and opportunity to be present. Each Credit
Party, at its own expense, shall deliver to Administrative Agent the results of
each physical verification, if any, which such Credit Party may in its
discretion have made, or caused any other Person to have made on its behalf, of
all or any portion of its Inventory.

          10.4 Covenants of the Credit Parties with Respect to Collateral. Each
Credit Party covenants and agrees with Administrative Agent, for the benefit of
Secured Parties, that from and after the date of this Agreement and until the
Termination Date:

          (a) Maintenance of Records. Credit Parties shall keep and maintain, at
their own cost and expense, satisfactory and complete records of the Collateral,
including a record of any and all payments received and any and all credits
granted with respect to the Collateral and

                                       63

<PAGE>

all other dealings with the Collateral, in each case in a manner consistent with
past practice. Upon request by the Administrative Agent, Credit Parties shall
mark their books and records pertaining to the Collateral to evidence this
Agreement and the Liens granted hereby. If any Credit Party retains possession
of any Chattel Paper or Instruments with Administrative Agent's consent, such
Chattel Paper and Instruments shall, if requested by Administrative Agent, be
marked with the following legend: "This writing and the obligations evidenced or
secured hereby are subject to the security interest of General Electric Capital
Corporation, as Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties."

          (b) Covenants Regarding Patent, Trademark and Copyright Collateral.

               (i) Credit Parties shall notify Administrative Agent promptly if
     they know or have reason to know that any application or registration
     relating to any material Patent, Trademark or Copyright (now or hereafter
     existing) may become abandoned or dedicated, or of any adverse
     determination or development (including the institution of, or any such
     determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent
     and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any court)
     regarding any Credit Party's ownership of any material Patent, Trademark or
     Copyright, its right to register the same, or to keep and maintain the
     same.

               (ii) Promptly after any Credit Party, either itself or through
     the Administrative Agent, employee, licensee or designee, files an
     application for the registration of any Patent, Trademark or Copyright with
     the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States
     Copyright Office, Credit Party shall give Administrative Agent written
     notice of such filing and, upon request of Administrative Agent, Credit
     Party shall execute and deliver any and all Patent Security Agreements,
     Copyright Security Agreements or Trademark Security Agreements as
     Administrative Agent may request to evidence Administrative Agent's Lien on
     such Patent, Trademark or Copyright, and the General Intangibles of such
     Credit Party relating thereto or represented thereby.

               (iii) Credit Parties shall take all actions necessary or
     requested by Administrative Agent to maintain and pursue each application,
     to obtain the relevant registration and to maintain the registration of
     each of the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights (now or hereafter existing),
     including the filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of use,
     affidavits of noncontestability and opposition and interference and
     cancellation proceedings unless such Credit Party reasonably determines
     that such Patent, Trademark or Copyright Collateral is in no way material
     to the conduct of its business or operations,

               (iv) In the event that any of the Patent, Trademark or Copyright
     Collateral is infringed upon, or misappropriated or diluted by a third
     party, such Credit Party shall comply with Section 10.2(a)(ix) of this
     Agreement. Such Credit Party shall, unless such Credit Party reasonably
     determines that such Patent, Trademark or Copyright Collateral is in no way
     material to the conduct of its business or operations, promptly sue for
     infringement, misappropriation or dilution and to recover any and all
     damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution, and shall take
     such other actions as

                                       64

<PAGE>

     Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate under the circumstances to
     protect such Patent, Trademark or Copyright Collateral.

          (c) [Reserved].

          (d) Further Identification of Collateral. In addition to any other
requirements herein, Credit Parties will, if so requested by Administrative
Agent, furnish to Administrative Agent, as often as Administrative Agent
reasonably requests, statements and schedules further identifying and describing
the Collateral as Administrative Agent may reasonably request, all in such
detail as Administrative Agent may specify.

          (e) Notices. Credit Parties will advise Administrative Agent promptly,
in reasonable detail of any Lien or claim made or asserted against any of the
Collateral other than in respect of Permitted Liens.

          (f) Terminations; Amendments Not Authorized. Except to the extent
permitted by clause (g), each Credit Party acknowledges that it is not
authorized to file any financing statement or amendment or termination statement
with respect to any financing statement relating to the Collateral and filed
pursuant to the terms hereof without the prior written consent of Administrative
Agent and agrees that it will not do so without the prior written consent of
Administrative Agent, subject to such Credit Party's rights under Section
9-509(d)(2) of the Code.

          (g) Authorized Terminations and Subordinations. Administrative Agent
will promptly deliver to each Credit Party for filing or authorize each Credit
Party to prepare and file termination statements and releases in respect of any
sales, transfers, conveyances, assignments or other dispositions of Collateral
made in accordance with Section 6.8 of this Agreement. Administrative Agent
will, upon request of any Credit Party, expressly subordinate, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent the Liens granted
hereunder to any prior Lien permitted under Section 6.7 of this Agreement.

          (h) Motor Vehicles. Upon request, each Credit Party shall deliver to
Administrative Agent a motor vehicle certificate of title, if any, for all motor
vehicles from time to time owned by it and shall cause those title certificates
to be filed (with Administrative Agent's Lien noted thereon) in the appropriate
state motor vehicle filing office.

          (i) Pledged Collateral.

               (i) All certificates and all promissory notes and instruments
     evidencing the Pledged Collateral shall be delivered to and held by or on
     behalf of Administrative Agent, for itself and the benefit of Secured
     Parties, pursuant hereto. All Pledged Shares shall be accompanied by duly
     executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and
     substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent and all promissory notes or
     other instruments evidencing the Pledged Indebtedness shall be endorsed by
     the applicable Credit Party.

               (ii) Without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent,
     no Credit Party will sell, assign, transfer, pledge, or otherwise encumber
     any of its rights in

                                       65

<PAGE>

     or to the Pledged Collateral, or any unpaid dividends, interest or other
     distributions or payments with respect to the Pledged Collateral or grant a
     Lien in the Pledged Collateral, unless otherwise expressly permitted by
     this Agreement;

               (iii) Each Credit Party will, at its expense, promptly execute,
     acknowledge and deliver all such instruments and take all such actions as
     Administrative Agent from time to time may reasonably request in order to
     ensure to Administrative Agent and Secured Parties obtain the benefits of
     the Liens in and to the Pledged Collateral intended to be created by this
     Agreement, including the filing of any necessary Code financing statements,
     which may be filed by Administrative Agent with or (to the extent permitted
     by law) without the signature of Credit Party, and will cooperate with
     Administrative Agent, at such Credit Party's expense, in obtaining all
     necessary approvals and making all necessary filings under federal, state,
     local or foreign law in connection with such Liens or any sale or transfer
     of the Pledged Collateral; provided that Administrative Agent shall not,
     prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default, require any actions to be
     taken with respect to (i) those assets as to which Administrative Agent
     shall determine, in its reasonable discretion, that the cost of obtaining
     such security interest or taking such action are excessive in relation to
     the benefit to Lenders afforded thereby, (ii) property the acquisition or
     construction of which was financed through Indebtedness (existing as of the
     Closing Date or as permitted by Section 6.3(a) of this Agreement), and
     (iii) all property to the extent that the granting of such a security
     interest or taking such action would constitute a breach or violation of a
     valid and effective restriction in favor of a third party (including,
     without limitation, mandatory consent rights), or give rise to any
     indemnification obligations or any right to terminate or commence the
     exercise of remedies under such restrictions;

               (iv) Each Credit Party has and will defend the title to the
     Pledged Collateral and the Liens of Administrative Agent in the Pledged
     Collateral against the claim of any Person (other than the holder of a
     Permitted Lien) and will maintain and preserve such Liens (it being
     understood that nothing in this clause (iv) will prevent such Credit Party
     from disposing of Pledged Collateral as otherwise permitted by Section
     6.8); and

               (v) Each Credit Party will, upon obtaining ownership of any
     additional Stock of a Pledged Entity or promissory notes or instruments
     representing Pledged Indebtedness or Stock or promissory notes or
     instruments otherwise required to be pledged to Administrative Agent
     pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, which Stock, notes or instruments
     are not already Pledged Collateral, promptly (and in any event within five
     (5) Business Days) deliver to Administrative Agent a Pledge Amendment, duly
     executed by such Credit Party, in substantially the form of Exhibit H
     hereto (a "Pledge Amendment") in respect of any such additional Stock,
     notes or instruments, pursuant to which such Credit Party shall pledge to
     Administrative Agent all of such additional Stock, notes and instruments;
     provided that such Credit Party shall be required to do the foregoing with
     respect to any such promissory note or instrument only if requested to do
     so by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(ii) of this
     Agreement. Credit Party hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to attach
     each Pledge Amendment to this Agreement and agrees that all Pledged Shares
     and Pledged

                                       66

<PAGE>

     Indebtedness listed on any Pledge Amendment delivered to Administrative
     Agent shall for all purposes hereunder be considered Pledged Collateral.
     This clause (v) shall not apply to any Excluded Equity.

          10.5 Performance by Administrative Agent of the Credit Parties'
Obligations. If any Credit Party fails to perform or comply with any of its
agreements contained herein and the Administrative Agent, as provided for by the
terms of this Agreement, shall itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause
performance or compliance, with such agreement, the expenses of the
Administrative Agent incurred in connection with such performance or compliance,
together with interest thereon at the rate then in effect in respect of Term
Loan C, shall be payable by such Credit Party to the Administrative Agent on
demand and shall constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral. Performance
of such Credit Party's obligations as permitted under this Section 10.5 shall in
no way constitute a violation of the automatic stay provided by section 362 of
the Bankruptcy Code and each Credit Party hereby waives applicability thereof.
Moreover, the Administrative Agent shall in no way be responsible for the
payment of any costs incurred in connection with preserving or disposing of
Collateral pursuant to section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code and the Collateral
may not be charged for the incurrence of any such cost.

          10.6 Limitation on Administrative Agent's duty in Respect of
Collateral. The Administrative Agent and each Secured Party shall use reasonable
care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control.
Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any other duty
as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or
control of any agent or nominee of the Administrative Agent or such Secured
Party, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior
parties or any other rights pertaining thereto.

          10.7 Remedies; Rights Upon Default.

          (a) In addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it under
the other Loan Documents and under any other instrument or agreement securing,
evidencing or relating to any of the Secured Obligations, if any Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may
exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Credit Party expressly agrees
that in any such event the Administrative Agent, without demand of performance
or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice required
by the Final Order or the notice specified below of time and place of public or
private sale) to or upon such Credit Party or any other Person (all and each of
which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived to the
maximum extent permitted by the Code and other applicable law), may, to the
maximum extent permitted by law, forthwith enter upon the premises of such
Credit Party where any Collateral is located through self-help, without judicial
process, without first obtaining a final judgment or giving such Credit Party or
any other Person notice and opportunity for a hearing on the Administrative
Agent's claim or action and may collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate
and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and may forthwith sell,
lease, license, assign, give an option or options to purchase, or sell or
otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any
part thereof, in one or more parcels at a public or private sale or sales, at
any exchange at such prices as it may deem acceptable, for cash or on credit or
for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Administrative

                                       67

<PAGE>

Agent or any Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or
sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales,
to purchase for the benefit of Secured Parties, the whole or any part of said
Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which equity of
redemption each Credit Party hereby releases. Such sales may be adjourned and
continued from time to time with or without notice. The Administrative Agent
shall have the right to conduct such sales on any Credit Party's premises or
elsewhere and shall have the right to use any Credit Party's premises without
charge for such time or times as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or
advisable. EACH CREDIT PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSTITUTES AND APPOINTS
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AS THE PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT OF SUCH CREDIT PARTY WITH
RESPECT TO THE PLEDGED COLLATERAL, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO VOTE THE PLEDGED
SHARES, WITH FULL POWER OF SUBSTITUTION TO DO SO. THE APPOINTMENT OF
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT IS COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST
AND SHALL BE IRREVOCABLE UNTIL THE TERMINATION DATE. IN ADDITION TO THE RIGHT TO
VOTE THE PLEDGED SHARES, THE APPOINTMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AS PROXY AND
ATTORNEY-IN-FACT SHALL INCLUDE THE RIGHT TO EXERCISE ALL OTHER RIGHTS, POWERS,
PRIVILEGES AND REMEDIES TO WHICH A HOLDER OF THE PLEDGED SHARES WOULD BE
ENTITLED (INCLUDING GIVING OR WITHHOLDING WRITTEN CONSENTS OF SHAREHOLDERS,
CALLING SPECIAL MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS AND VOTING AT SUCH MEETINGS). SUCH
PROXY SHALL BE EFFECTIVE, AUTOMATICALLY AND WITHOUT THE NECESSITY OF ANY ACTION
(INCLUDING ANY TRANSFER OF ANY PLEDGED SHARES ON THE RECORD BOOKS OF THE ISSUER
THEREOF) BY ANY PERSON (INCLUDING THE ISSUER OF THE PLEDGED SHARES OR ANY
OFFICER OR AGENT THEREOF), UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT.
NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, (X) ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL NOT HAVE ANY DUTY
TO EXERCISE ANY SUCH RIGHT OR TO PRESERVE THE SAME AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR
ANY FAILURE TO DO SO OR FOR ANY DELAY IN DOING SO AND (Y) ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
SHALL NOT EXERCISE ANY SUCH RIGHT WITH RESPECT TO ANY REGULATED SUBSIDIARY
UNLESS ANY AND ALL REGULATORY APPROVALS REQUIRED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW SHALL HAVE
BEEN OBTAINED.

          (b) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
each Credit Party further agrees, at Administrative Agent's request, to assemble
the Collateral and make it available to Administrative Agent at a place or
places designated by Administrative Agent which are reasonably convenient to
Administrative Agent and such Credit Party, whether at such Credit Party's
premises or elsewhere. Until Administrative Agent is able to effect a sale,
lease, or other disposition of Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall have
the right to hold or use Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it
deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving Collateral or its value or for
any other purpose deemed appropriate by Administrative Agent. The Administrative
Agent shall have no obligation to any Credit Party to maintain or preserve the
rights of Credit Party as against third parties with respect to Collateral while
Collateral is in the possession of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative
Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take
possession of Collateral and to enforce any of the Administrative Agent's
remedies (for the benefit of Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment
without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment. The

                                       68

<PAGE>

Administrative Agent shall deposit the net proceeds of any such collection,
recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale to the Cash Collateral
Account and such net proceeds shall be applied in accordance with Section 1.3.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Credit Party waives all
claims, damages, and demands against the Administrative Agent or any Secured
Party arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral
except such as arise solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
the Administrative Agent or such Secured Party as finally determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction. Each Credit Party agrees that ten (10) days prior
notice by Administrative Agent of the time and place of any public sale or of
the time after which a private sale may take place is reasonable notification of
such matters. Credit Parties shall remain liable for any deficiency if the
proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay
all Secured Obligations, including any attorneys' fees and other expenses
incurred by Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to collect such
deficiency.

          (c) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each Credit
Party hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum
extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this
Agreement or any Collateral.

          (d) To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the
Administrative Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner,
each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially
unreasonable for the Administrative Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses
reasonably deemed significant by the Administrative Agent to prepare Collateral
for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into
finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to
obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to
obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third
party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected
or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account
Debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any
adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against
Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through
the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to
advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general
circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to
contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as the Credit
Parties, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such
Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the
disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized
nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide
for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have
the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets,
(ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to
disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment,
(xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Administrative
Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to
provide to the Administrative Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or
disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the
Administrative Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment
bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Administrative Agent
in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Credit Party
acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 10.7(d) is to provide
non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Administrative
Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in the Administrative Agent's

                                       69

<PAGE>

exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions
by the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely
on account of not being indicated in this Section 10.7(d). Without limitation
upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 10.7(d) shall be construed
to grant any rights to any Credit Party or to impose any duties on the
Administrative Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this
Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 10.7(d).

          (e) Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party shall be
required to make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of their rights or
remedies against, any Credit Party, any other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any
other Person with respect to the payment of the Secured Obligations or to pursue
or exhaust any of their rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral
therefore or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof. Neither the
Administrative Agent nor the Secured Parties shall be required to marshal the
Collateral or any guarantee of the Secured Obligations or to resort to the
Collateral or any such guarantee in any particular order, and all of its and
their rights hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be cumulative. To
the extent it may lawfully do so, each Credit Party absolutely and irrevocably
waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to
assert against the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party, any valuation,
stay, appraisement, extension, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights
or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for
this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the
judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale
conferred by this Agreement, or otherwise.

          (f) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the
continuation of such Event of Default, and concurrently with written notice to
Credit Parties, Administrative Agent is hereby authorized and empowered to
transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any
part of the Pledged Collateral, to exchange certificates or instruments
representing or evidencing Pledged Collateral for certificates or instruments of
smaller or larger denominations, to exercise the voting and all other rights as
a holder with respect thereto, to collect and receive all cash dividends,
interest, principal and other distributions made thereon, to sell in one or more
sales after ten (10) days' notice of the time and place of any public sale or of
the time at which a private sale is to take place (which notice Credit Parties
agree is commercially reasonable) the whole or any part of the Pledged
Collateral and to otherwise act with respect to the Pledged Collateral as though
Administrative Agent was the outright owner thereof in each case provided that
no such action shall be taken with respect to the Stock of any Regulated
Subsidiary unless any and all regulatory approvals required under applicable law
shall have been obtained. Any sale shall be made at a public or private sale at
Administrative Agent's place of business, or at any place to be named in the
notice of sale, either for cash or upon credit or for future delivery at such
price as Administrative Agent may deem fair, and Administrative Agent may be the
purchaser of the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral so sold and hold
the same thereafter in its own right free from any claim of such Credit Party or
any right of redemption. Each sale shall be made to the highest bidder, but
Administrative Agent reserves the right to reject any and all bids at such sale
which, in its discretion, it shall deem inadequate. Demands of performance,
except as otherwise herein specifically provided for, notices of sale,
advertisements and the presence of property at sale are hereby waived and any
sale hereunder may be conducted by an auctioneer or any officer or agent of
Administrative Agent.

                                       70
<PAGE>

          (g) If, at the original time or times appointed for the sale of the
whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral, the highest bid, if there be but
one sale, shall be inadequate to discharge in full all the Secured Obligations,
or if the Pledged Collateral has been offered for sale in lots, and if at any of
such sales, the highest bid for the lot offered for sale would indicate to
Administrative Agent, in its discretion, that the proceeds of the sales of the
whole of the Pledged Collateral would be unlikely to be sufficient to discharge
all the Secured Obligations, the Administrative Agent may, on one or more
occasions and in its sole discretion, postpone effectuating any of said sales by
public announcement at the time of sale or the time of previous postponement of
sale, and no other notice of such postponement or postponements of sale need be
given, any other notice being hereby waived; provided, however, that any sale or
sales made after such postponement shall be after ten (10) days' notice to such
Credit Party.

          (h) If, at any time when Administrative Agent in its sole discretion
determines, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, that, in connection with any actual or contemplated exercise of its
rights (when permitted under this Section 10.7(h) to sell the whole or any part
of the Pledged Shares hereunder, it is necessary or advisable to effect a public
registration of all or part of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (or any similar statute then in effect) (the "Act"),
such Credit Party shall, in an expeditious manner, cause the Pledged Entities
to:

               (i) Prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission
     (the "Commission") a registration statement with respect to the Pledged
     Shares and in good faith use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such
     registration statement to become and remain effective;

               (ii) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
     supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in
     connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration
     statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Act with
     respect to the sale or other disposition of the Pledged Shares covered by
     such registration statement whenever Administrative Agent shall desire to
     sell or otherwise dispose of the Pledged Shares;

               (iii) Furnish to Administrative Agent such numbers of copies of a
     prospectus and a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the
     requirements of the Act, and such other documents as Administrative Agent
     may request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of
     the Pledged Shares by Administrative Agent;

               (iv) Use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify
     the Pledged Shares covered by such registration statement under such other
     securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States
     and Puerto Rico as Administrative Agent shall request, and do such other
     reasonable acts and things as may be required of it to enable
     Administrative Agent to consummate the public sale or other disposition in
     such jurisdictions of the Pledged Shares by Administrative Agent;

               (v) Furnish, at the request of Administrative Agent, on the date
     that shares of the Pledged Collateral are delivered to the underwriters for
     sale pursuant to such registration or, if the security is not being sold
     through underwriters, on the date that the

                                       71

<PAGE>

     registration statement with respect to such Pledged Shares becomes
     effective, (A) an opinion, dated such date, of the independent counsel
     representing such registrant for the purposes of such registration,
     addressed to the underwriters, if any, and in the event the Pledged Shares
     are not being sold through underwriters, then to Administrative Agent, in
     customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in such
     legal opinions; and (B) a comfort letter, dated such date, from the
     independent certified public accountants of such registrant, addressed to
     the underwriters, if any, and in the event the Pledged Shares are not being
     sold through underwriters, then to Administrative Agent, in a customary
     form and covering matters of the type customarily covered by such comfort
     letters and as the underwriters or Administrative Agent shall reasonably
     request. The opinion of counsel referred to above shall additionally cover
     such other legal matters with respect to the registration in respect of
     which such opinion is being given as Administrative Agent may reasonably
     request. The letter referred to above from the independent certified public
     accountants shall additionally cover such other financial matters
     (including information as to the period ending not more than five (5)
     Business Days prior to the date of such letter) with respect to the
     registration in respect of which such letter is being given as
     Administrative Agent may reasonably request; and

               (vi) Otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with
     all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make available
     to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable but not later
     than 18 months after the effective date of the registration statement, an
     earnings statement covering the period of at least 12 months beginning with
     the first full month after the effective date of such registration
     statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section
     11(a) of the Act.

          (i) All expenses incurred in complying with Section 10.7(h) hereof,
including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees (including all
expenses incident to filing with the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc.), printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for the registrant,
the fees and expenses of counsel for Administrative Agent, expenses of the
independent certified public accountants (including any special audits incident
to or required by any such registration) and expenses of complying with the
securities or blue sky laws or any jurisdictions, shall be paid by Credit
Parties.

          (j) If, at any time when Administrative Agent shall determine to
exercise its right to sell the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral
hereunder, such Pledged Collateral or the part thereof to be sold shall not, for
any reason whatsoever, be effectively registered under the Act, Administrative
Agent may, in its discretion (subject only to applicable requirements of law),
sell such Pledged Collateral or part thereof by private sale in such manner and
under such circumstances as Administrative Agent may deem necessary or
advisable, but subject to the other requirements of this Section 10.7, and shall
not be required to effect such registration or to cause the same to be effected.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in any such event,
Administrative Agent in its discretion (x) may, in accordance with applicable
securities laws, proceed to make such private sale notwithstanding that a
registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Collateral or
part thereof could be or shall have been filed under said Act (or similar
statute), (y) may approach and negotiate with a single possible purchaser to
effect such sale, and (z) may restrict such sale to a purchaser who is an
accredited investor under the

                                       72

<PAGE>

Act and who will represent and agree that such purchaser is purchasing for its
own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale of
such Pledged Collateral or any part thereof. In addition to a private sale as
provided above in this Section 10.7, if any of the Pledged Collateral shall not
be freely distributable to the public without registration under the Act (or
similar statute) at the time of any proposed sale pursuant to this Section 10.7,
then Administrative Agent shall not be required to effect such registration or
cause the same to be effected but, in its discretion (subject only to applicable
requirements of law), may require that any sale hereunder (including a sale at
auction) be conducted subject to restrictions:

               (i) as to the financial sophistication and ability of any Person
     permitted to bid or purchase at any such sale;

               (ii) as to the content of legends to be placed upon any
     certificates representing the Pledged Collateral sold in such sale,
     including restrictions on future transfer thereof;

               (iii) as to the representations required to be made by each
     Person bidding or purchasing at such sale relating to that Person's access
     to financial information about such Credit Party and such Person's
     intentions as to the holding of the Pledged Collateral so sold for
     investment for its own account and not with a view to the distribution
     thereof; and

               (iv) as to such other matters as Administrative Agent may, in its
     discretion, deem necessary or appropriate in order that such sale
     (notwithstanding any failure so to register) may be effected in compliance
     with the Bankruptcy Code and other laws affecting the enforcement of
     creditors' rights and the Act and all applicable state securities laws.

          (k) Each Credit Party recognizes that Administrative Agent may be
unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Collateral and may be
compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof in accordance with
clause (j) above. Each Credit Party also acknowledges that any such private sale
may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such
sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any
such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially
unreasonable manner solely by virtue of such sale being private. Administrative
Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged
Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Pledged Entity to
register such securities for public sale under the Act, or under applicable
state securities laws, even if such Credit Party and the Pledged Entity would
agree to do so.

          (l) Each Credit Party agrees to the maximum extent permitted by
applicable law that following the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default it will not at any time plead, claim or take the benefit of any
appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium or redemption law now or
hereafter in force in order to prevent or delay the enforcement of this
Agreement, or the absolute sale of the whole or any part of the Pledged
Collateral or the possession thereof by any purchaser at any sale hereunder, and
each Credit Party waives the benefit of all such laws to the extent it lawfully
may do so. Each Credit Party agrees that it will

                                       73

<PAGE>

not interfere with any right, power and remedy of Administrative Agent provided
for in this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by
statute or otherwise, or the exercise or beginning of the exercise by
Administrative Agent of any one or more of such rights, powers or remedies. No
failure or delay on the part of Administrative Agent to exercise any such right,
power or remedy and no notice or demand which may be given to or made upon
Credit Parties by Administrative Agent with respect to any such remedies shall
operate as a waiver thereof, or limit or impair Administrative Agent's right to
take any action or to exercise any power or remedy hereunder, without notice or
demand, or prejudice its rights as against any Credit Party in any respect.

          (m) Each Credit Party further agrees that a breach of any of the
covenants contained in this Section 10.7 will cause irreparable injury to
Administrative Agent, that Administrative Agent shall have no adequate remedy at
law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, agrees that each and every
covenant contained in this Section 10.7 shall be specifically enforceable
against the Credit Parties, and each Credit Party hereby waives and agrees not
to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such
covenants except for a defense that the Secured Obligations are not then due and
payable in accordance with the agreements and instruments governing and
evidencing such Obligations.

          (n) To the extent that any rights and remedies under this Section 10.7
would otherwise be in violation of the automatic stay of section 362 of the
Bankruptcy Code, such stay shall be deemed modified, as set forth in the Final
Order, as applicable, to the extent necessary to permit the Administrative Agent
to exercise such rights and remedies.

          10.8 The Administrative Agent's Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.

          (a) On the Closing Date each Credit Party executed and delivered to
Administrative Agent a power of attorney (the "Power of Attorney") substantially
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. The power of attorney granted pursuant
to the Power of Attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be
irrevocable until the Termination Date. The powers conferred on Administrative
Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, under the Power of Attorney are
solely to protect Administrative Agent's interests (for the benefit of Secured
Parties) in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative
Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. Administrative Agent
agrees that (a) except for the powers granted in clause (h) of the Power of
Attorney, it shall not exercise any power or authority granted under the Power
of Attorney unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (b)
Administrative Agent shall account for any moneys received by the Administrative
Agent in respect of any foreclosure on or disposition of Collateral pursuant to
the Power of Attorney provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any
Secured Party shall have any duty as to any Collateral, and Administrative Agent
and the Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually
receive as a result of the exercise of such powers. NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT, THE SECURED PARTIES NOR THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS,
EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE TO ANY CREDIT PARTY
FOR ANY ACT OR FAILURE TO ACT UNDER ANY POWER OF ATTORNEY OR OTHERWISE, EXCEPT
IN RESPECT OF DAMAGES ATTRIBUTABLE SOLELY TO THEIR OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR
WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AS FINALLY DETERMINED BY A

                                       74

<PAGE>

COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION, NOR FOR ANY PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

          (b) The Administrative Agent agrees that it will forbear from
exercising the power of attorney or any rights granted to the Administrative
Agent pursuant to this Section 10.8, except upon the occurrence or during the
continuation of an Event of Default. The Credit Parties hereby ratify, to the
extent permitted by law, all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to
be done by virtue hereof. Exercise by the Administrative Agent of the powers
granted hereunder is not a violation of the automatic stay provided by section
362 of the Bankruptcy Code and each Credit Party waives applicability thereof.
The power of attorney granted pursuant to this Section 10.8 is a power coupled
with an interest and shall be irrevocable until the Obligations are indefeasibly
paid in full.

          (c) The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent hereunder are
solely to protect the Administrative Agent's and the Lenders' interests in the
Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers.
The Administrative Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually
receives as a result of the exercise of such powers and neither it nor any of
its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Credit
Party for any act or failure to act, except for its own gross negligence or
willful misconduct.

          (d) Each Credit Party also authorizes the Administrative Agent, at any
time and from time to time upon the occurrence and during the continuation of
any Event of Default or as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement, (i)
to communicate in its own name or the name of its Subsidiaries with any party to
any Contract with regard to the assignment of the right, title and interest of
such Credit Party in and under the Contracts hereunder and other matters
relating thereto and (ii) to execute any endorsements, assignments or other
instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral.

          (e) All Obligations shall constitute, in accordance with section
364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, claims against the Borrower and each Credit
Party in their respective Cases which are administrative expense claims having
priority over any all administrative expenses of the kind specified in sections
503(b) or 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

          10.9 [Reserved].

          10.10 Intercreditor Issues.

          Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for so long as the
Post-Petition Skymiles Facility Documents are in effect, if any Credit Party is
in compliance with any requirements relating to SkyMiles Collateral imposed by
the Post-Petition Skymiles Collateral Documents which are equivalent to
requirements set forth in this Agreement (other than creation and, with respect
to Collateral which is not Control Collateral (as defined below), perfection, of
any Lien hereunder), such Credit Party need not comply with (and shall be deemed
to have satisfied) such requirements of this Agreement. Without limiting the
foregoing:

          (a) any covenant hereunder requiring (or any representation or
warranty hereunder to the extent that it would have the effect of requiring) the
delivery of possession or

                                       75

<PAGE>

control to the Administrative Agent of Control Collateral that is SkyMiles
Collateral shall be deemed to have been satisfied (or such representation and
warranty shall be deemed to be true) if such possession or control shall have
been delivered to SkyMiles Agent as provided in the Post-Petition Skymiles
Facility Documents (as used herein, "Control Collateral" shall mean any
Collateral (including, without limitation, any Collateral consisting of any
Deposit Account, Investment Property, Letter-of-Credit Rights, electronic
chattel paper or money) as to which a Lien therein may be perfected through
possession or other control by any secured party or any agent therefor);

          (b) if any provision hereof shall require any Credit Party to take any
action with respect to any SkyMiles Collateral if requested to do so by the
Administrative Agent, such Credit Party shall be required to take such action
only if and to the extent that the SkyMiles Agent shall have requested the
Credit Party to take such action pursuant to the corresponding provision of the
Post-Petition Skymiles Facility Documents;

          (c) if any provision hereof shall require any Credit Party to take any
action with respect to any SkyMiles Collateral unless the Administrative Agent
shall have otherwise provided its consent or a waiver, such Credit Party shall
not be required to take such action if and to the extent that the SkyMiles Agent
shall have provided its consent or a waiver to the Credit Party not taking such
action pursuant to the corresponding provision of the Post-Petition Skymiles
Facility Documents; and

          (d) if any provision hereof permits any Credit Party to take any
action with respect to any SkyMiles Collateral only upon receiving the
Administrative Agent's consent to do so, the Administrative Agent shall be
deemed to have provided such consent if and to the extent that the SkyMiles
Agent shall have provided its consent to such Credit Party taking such action
pursuant to the corresponding provision of the Post-Petition Skymiles Facility
Documents.

          10.11 Release of Collateral.

          (a) The Liens granted pursuant to this Agreement shall automatically
terminate, and all the Collateral shall be automatically released, without
further action by the Administrative Agent and without any further notice or
consent to or of any Secured Party, on the Termination Date.

          (b) Immediately upon (i) any sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment or
other disposition by any Credit Party of any Collateral permitted by this
Agreement (or pursuant to a valid waiver or consent to any transaction otherwise
prohibited by this Agreement), (ii) any part of the Collateral becoming subject
to a Lien permitted by Section 6.7(f) or (iii) any Pledged Collateral being
cancelled, replaced or repaid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
such Collateral shall be automatically released from the security interest
granted pursuant to this Agreement and the Lien on such Collateral in favor of
the Administrative Agent, for itself and for the benefit of the Secured Parties,
shall automatically terminate (and, if such Collateral consists of all of the
equity interest in a Subsidiary Guarantor, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be
released from its Guaranty), in each case without further action by the
Administrative Agent and without any further notice or consent to or of any
Secured Party.

                                       76

<PAGE>

          (c) At the request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall,
and each of the Secured Parties hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative
Agent (without any further notice or consent to or of any Secured Party) to,
promptly release or subordinate, as requested by the holders of any Lien
permitted by Section 6.7(a), (c), (e), (f), (i), (j) (subject, in the case of
Amex, to the Skymiles Intercreditor Agreement), (n), (o), (q), (r) or (s), any
part of the Collateral that is subject to a Lien permitted by such section.

          (d) At the request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall,
and each of the Secured Parties hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative
Agent (without further notice or consent to or of any Secured Party) to, execute
and deliver or file such termination or partial release statements and take such
other actions (including return of Collateral) as are necessary to terminate,
release or subordinate Liens pursuant to this Section 10.11 promptly upon the
effectiveness of any such termination, release or subordination. The
Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties hereby acknowledges and agree that
the Credit Parties may use the Collateral to the extent permitted under the
Credit Agreement.

11. ASSIGNMENT AND PARTICIPATIONS; APPOINTMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

          11.1 Assignment and Participations.

          (a) Right to Assign. Each Lender may sell, transfer, negotiate or
assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including all
or a portion of its Commitments and its rights and obligations with respect to
Loans) to (i) any existing Lender, (ii) any Affiliate or Approved Fund of any
existing Lender or (iii) any other Person acceptable (which acceptance shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the Administrative Agent and, as long as
no Event of Default is continuing, the Borrower; provided, that (x) such Sales
do not have to be ratable between the Term Loans but must be ratable among the
obligations owing to and owed by such Lender with respect to a Term Loan and (y)
for each Term Loan, the aggregate outstanding principal amount (determined as of
the effective date of the applicable Assignment) of the Loans and Commitments
subject to any such Sale shall be an integral multiple of $1,000,000, unless
such Sale is made to an existing Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of any
existing Lender, is of the assignor's (together with its Affiliates and Approved
Funds) entire interest in such Term Loan or is made with the prior consent of
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. In the case of any assignment of Term
Loan A, the proceeds of any L/C Cash Collateral held by the Administrative Agent
shall not be released in connection with any such assignment, but shall instead
continue to be held by the Administrative Agent for application as provided by
Annex B.

          (b) Procedure. The parties to each Sale made in reliance on clause (a)
above (other than those described in clause (e) below) shall execute and deliver
to the Administrative Agent (which shall keep a copy thereof) an Assignment,
together with any existing Note subject to such Sale (or any affidavit of loss
therefor acceptable to the Administrative Agent), any Certificates of Exemption
required to be delivered pursuant to Section 1.13 (which shall also be delivered
to Borrower) and, except with respect to any assignment by any Arranger (or any
Affiliate or Related Person of such Arranger) of the Commitments or Loans held
on the Closing Date by such Person to the extent such assignment is made as part
of the primary syndication of

                                       77

<PAGE>

the applicable Term Loan, payment by the assignee of an assignment fee in the
amount of $3,500. Upon receipt of all the foregoing, and conditioned upon such
receipt and upon the Administrative Agent consenting to such Assignment, from
and after the effective date specified in such Assignment, the Administrative
Agent shall record or cause to be recorded in the Loan Account the information
contained in such Assignment.

          (c) Effectiveness. Effective upon the entry of such record in the Loan
Account, (i) such assignee shall become a party hereto and, to the extent that
rights and obligations under the Loan Documents have been assigned to such
assignee pursuant to such Assignment, shall have the rights and obligations of a
Lender, (ii) any applicable Note shall be transferred to such assignee through
such entry and (iii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights
and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to such
Assignment, relinquish its rights (except for those surviving the termination of
the Commitments and the payment in full of the Obligations) and be released from
its obligations under the Loan Documents, other than those relating to events or
circumstances occurring prior to such assignment, and, in the case of an
Assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender's rights
and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party
hereto.

          (d) Grant of Security Interests. In addition to the other rights
provided in this Section 11.1, each Lender may grant a security interest in, or
otherwise assign as collateral, any of its rights under this Agreement, whether
now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to payments of principal or
interest on the Loans), to (A) any federal reserve bank (pursuant to Regulation
A of the Federal Reserve Board), without notice to the Administrative Agent or
(B) any holder of, or trustee for the benefit of the holders of, such Lender's
Securities by notice to the Administrative Agent; provided, that no such holder
or trustee, whether because of such grant or assignment or any foreclosure
thereon (unless such foreclosure is made through an assignment in accordance
with clause (b) above), shall be entitled to any rights of such Lender hereunder
and no such Lender shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder.

          (e) Participants and SPVs. In addition to the other rights provided in
this Section 11.1, each Lender may, (x) with notice to the Administrative Agent,
grant to an SPV the option to make all or any part of any Loan that such Lender
would otherwise be required to make hereunder (and the exercise of such option
by such SPV and the making of Loans pursuant thereto shall satisfy the
obligation of such Lender to make such Loans hereunder) and such SPV may assign
to such Lender the right to receive payment with respect to any Obligation and
(y) without notice to or consent from the Administrative Agent or the Borrower,
sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its
rights and obligations under the Loan Documents; provided, that, whether as a
result of any term of any Loan Document or of such grant or participation, (i)
no such SPV or participant shall have a commitment, or be deemed to have made an
offer to commit, to make Loans hereunder, and, except as provided in the
applicable option agreement, none shall be liable for any obligation of such
Lender hereunder, (ii) such Lender's rights and obligations, and the rights and
obligations of the Credit Parties and the Secured Parties towards such Lender,
under any Loan Document shall remain unchanged and each other party hereto shall
continue to deal solely with such Lender, which shall remain the holder of the
Obligations in the Register, except that (A) each such participant and SPV shall
be entitled to the benefit of Section 1.11, Section 1.13 and Section 1.14, but,
in the case of Section

                                       78

<PAGE>

1.13, only to the extent Borrower and the Administrative Agent receive a
Certificate of Exemption with respect to any such participant or SPV that is a
Foreign Person and in each such case only to the extent of any amount to which
such Lender would be entitled in the absence of any such grant or participation
and (B) each such SPV may receive other payments that would otherwise be made to
such Lender with respect to Loans funded by such SPV to the extent provided in
the applicable option agreement and set forth in a notice provided to the
Administrative Agent by such SPV and such Lender; provided, that in no case
(including pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above) shall an SPV or participant have
the right to enforce any of the terms of any Loan Document, and (iii) the
consent of such SPV or participant shall not be required (either directly, as a
restraint on such Lender's ability to consent hereunder or otherwise) for any
amendments, waivers or consents with respect to any Loan Document or to exercise
or refrain from exercising any powers or rights such Lender may have under or in
respect of the Loan Documents (including the right to enforce or direct
enforcement of the Obligations), except for those described in clauses (viii)(B)
and (viii)(C) of Section 13.2(a) with respect to amounts, or dates fixed for
payment of amounts, to which such participant or SPV would otherwise be entitled
and, in the case of participants, except for those described in Section
13.2(a)(xii) (or amendments, consents and waivers with respect to Section 10.10
to release all or substantially all of the Collateral). No party hereto shall
institute (and Borrower shall cause each other Credit Party not to institute)
against any SPV grantee of an option pursuant to this clause (e) any bankruptcy,
reorganization, insolvency, liquidation or similar proceeding, prior to the date
that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding
commercial paper of such SPV; provided, however, that each Lender having
designated an SPV as such agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person against
any Liability that may be incurred by, or asserted against, such Indemnified
Person as a result of failing to institute such proceeding (including a failure
to get reimbursed by such SPV for any such Liability). The agreement in the
preceding sentence shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the
payment in full of the Obligations.

          11.2 Appointment of Administrative Agent.

          GE Capital is hereby appointed to act as the Administrative Agent on
behalf of the Lenders and the Secured Parties under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section 11.2 are solely for the benefit
of the Administrative Agent and Lenders and no Credit Party nor any other Person
shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions
hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall act solely as an agent of
the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent does not assume and shall not be
deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust
with or for any Credit Party or any other Person. The Administrative Agent shall
have no duties or responsibilities except for those expressly set forth in this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The duties of the Administrative Agent
shall be mechanical and administrative in nature, and the Administrative Agent
shall not have, or be deemed to have, by reason of this Agreement, any other
Loan Document or otherwise a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender.
Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be
liable for failure to disclose, any information relating to any Credit Party or
any of their respective Subsidiaries or any Account Debtor that is communicated
to or obtained by GE Capital or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Neither
the

                                       79

<PAGE>

Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates nor any of their respective
officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives shall be liable to any
Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any
other Loan Document, or in connection herewith or therewith, except for damages
caused by its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

          If the Administrative Agent shall request instructions from Requisite
Lenders, Requisite Term A Lenders, Requisite Term B Lenders, Requisite Term C
Lenders, Supermajority Term A Lenders, all Lenders or all affected Lenders with
respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, then the Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until the
Administrative Agent shall have received instructions from Requisite Lenders,
Requisite Term A Lenders, Requisite Term B Lenders, Requisite Term C Lenders,
Supermajority Term A Lenders, all Lenders or all affected Lenders, as the case
may be, and the Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by
reason of so refraining. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in
failing or refusing to take any action hereunder or under any other Loan
Document (a) if such action would, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent,
be contrary to law or the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
(b) if such action would, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, expose the
Administrative Agent to Environmental Liabilities or (c) if the Administrative
Agent shall not first be indemnified to its satisfaction against any and all
liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or
continuing to take any such action. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender
shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a
result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or
under any other Loan Document in accordance with the instructions of Requisite
Lenders, Requisite Term A Lenders, Requisite Term B Lenders, Requisite Term C
Lenders, Supermajority Term A Lenders, all Lenders or all affected Lenders, as
applicable.

          11.3 Administrative Agent's Reliance, Etc. None of the Administrative
Agent or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers,
agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken
by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, except for damages caused by its or their own gross negligence or
willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Administrative Agent: (a) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof
until the Administrative Agent receives written notice of the assignment or
transfer thereof signed by such payee and in form reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent; (b) may consult with legal counsel, independent public
accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable 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; (c) makes no warranty or
representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any
statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (d) shall not have any duty to ascertain
or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants
or conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents on the part of any
Credit Party or to inspect the Collateral (including the Books and Records to
the extent not prohibited by a confidentiality agreement in favor of a third
party) of any Credit Party; (e) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the
due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or
value of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or
document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (f) shall incur no liability
under

                                       80

<PAGE>

or in respect of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents by acting upon any
notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by
telecopy, telegram, cable or telex) believed by it to be genuine and signed or
sent by the proper party or parties.

          11.4 GE Capital and Affiliates.

          With respect to its Commitments hereunder, GE Capital shall have the
same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any
other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative
Agent; and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless otherwise expressly
indicated, include GE Capital in its individual capacity. GE Capital and its
Affiliates may lend money to, invest in, and generally engage in any kind of
business with, any Credit Party, any of their Affiliates and any Person who may
do business with or own securities of any Credit Party or any such Affiliate,
all as if GE Capital were not the Administrative Agent and without any duty to
account therefor to Lenders. GE Capital and its Affiliates may accept fees and
other consideration from any Credit Party for services in connection with this
Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders. Each
Lender acknowledges the potential conflict of interest between GE Capital as a
Lender holding disproportionate interests in the Loans (including the L/C Cash
Collateral) and GE Capital as the Administrative Agent.

          11.5 Lender Credit Decision.

          Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on the
Financial Statements referred to in Section 3.4(a) and such other documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit and financial
analysis of the Credit Parties and its own decision to enter into this
Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such
documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to
make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this
Agreement. Each Lender acknowledges the potential conflict of interest of each
other Lender as a result of Lenders holding disproportionate interests in the
Loans (including the L/C Cash Collateral), and expressly consents to, and waives
any claim based upon, such conflict of interest.

          11.6 Indemnification.

          Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not
reimbursed by Credit Parties and without limiting the Obligations of Credit
Parties hereunder), ratably according to their respective Pro Rata Shares, from
and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or
nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the
Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted to be taken by the
Administrative Agent in connection therewith; provided, that no Lender shall be
liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting
from the Administrative Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without
limiting the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent

                                       81

<PAGE>

promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses
(including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent 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 and each other Loan Document, to the
extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by
Credit Parties.

          11.7 Successor Agents.

          The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving not less
than thirty (30) days' prior written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrower.
Upon any such resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint
a successor the Administrative Agent. If a successor Administrative Agent shall
not have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders and shall not have accepted
such appointment within thirty (30) days after the resigning Administrative
Agent's giving notice of resignation, then such resigning Administrative Agent
on behalf of the Lenders may appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which
shall be a Lender, if such Lender is willing to accept such appointment, or
otherwise shall be a commercial bank or financial institution or a subsidiary of
a commercial bank or financial institution if such commercial bank or financial
institution is organized under the laws of the United States of America or of
any State thereof and has a combined capital and surplus of at least
$300,000,000. If a successor Administrative Agent has not been appointed
pursuant to the foregoing, within thirty (30) days after the date such notice of
resignation was given by such resigning Administrative Agent, such resignation
shall become effective and the Requisite Lenders shall thereafter perform all
the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the
Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.
Any successor Administrative Agent appointed by Requisite Lenders hereunder
shall be subject to the approval of Borrower, such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, that such approval shall not be
required if a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a
successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties
of the resigning Administrative Agent. Upon the earlier of (i) the acceptance of
any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative
Agent or (ii) the effective date of the resigning Administrative Agent's
resignation, such resigning Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its
duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, except
that any indemnity rights or other rights in favor of such resigning
Administrative Agent shall continue. After any Administrative Agent's
resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article 9 shall inure to its
benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting
as the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

          11.8 Setoff and Sharing of Payments.

          In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable
law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, each Lender is hereby
authorized upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default and subject to Section 11.9(d), at any time or from time to time,
without prior notice to any Credit Party or to any Person other than the
Administrative Agent (except as otherwise required by the Final Order), any such
notice being

                                       82

<PAGE>

hereby expressly waived, to offset and to appropriate and to apply any and all
balances held by it at any of its offices for the account of Borrower or any
Guarantor (regardless of whether such balances are then due to Borrower or any
Guarantor) and any other properties or assets at any time held or owing by that
Lender or that holder to or for the credit or for the account of Borrower or any
Guarantor against and on account of any of the Obligations that are not paid
when due; provided, that the Lender exercising such offset rights shall give
notice thereof to the affected Credit Party, except as otherwise required by the
Final Order, promptly after exercising such rights. Any Lender exercising a
right of setoff or otherwise receiving any payment on account of the Obligations
in excess of its Pro Rata Share thereof shall purchase for cash (and the other
Lenders or holders shall sell) such participations in each such other Lender's
or holder's Pro Rata Share of the Obligations as would be necessary to cause
such Lender to share the amount so offset or otherwise received with each other
Lender or holder in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, (other
than offset rights exercised by any Lender with respect to Sections 1.11, 1.13
or 1.14). Each Term A Lender's obligation under this Section 11.8 shall be in
addition to and not in limitation of its obligations to purchase a participation
in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Obligations as
provided in Annex B. Borrower and each Guarantor agrees, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, that (a) any Lender may exercise its right to offset with
respect to amounts in excess of its Pro Rata Share of the Obligations and may
sell participations in such amounts so offset to other Lenders and holders and
(b) any Lender so purchasing a participation in the Loans made or other
Obligations held by other Lenders or holders may exercise all rights of offset,
bankers' lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation
as fully as if such Lender or holder were a direct holder of the Loans and the
other Obligations in the amount of such participation. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if all or any portion of the offset amount or payment otherwise
received is thereafter recovered from the Lender that has exercised the right of
offset, the purchase of participations by that Lender shall be rescinded and the
purchase price restored without interest.

          11.9 Payments; Non-Funding Lenders; Information; Actions in Concert.

          (a) Payments. Not less than once during each calendar month or more
frequently at the Administrative Agent's election (each, a "Settlement Date"),
the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender by telephone, or telecopy of
the amount of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of principal, interest and Fees paid
for the benefit of Lenders with respect to each applicable Loan. Provided that
each Lender has funded all payments and Loans required to be made by it and
purchased all participations required to be purchased by it under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents as of such Settlement Date, the Administrative
Agent shall pay to each Lender such Lender's Pro Rata Share of principal,
interest and Fees paid by Borrower since the previous Settlement Date for the
benefit of such Lender on the Loans held by it. To the extent that any Lender (a
"Non-Funding Lender") has failed to fund all such payments and Loans or failed
to fund the purchase of all such participations, the Administrative Agent shall
be entitled to set off the funding short-fall against that Non-Funding Lender's
Pro Rata Share of all payments received from Borrower. Such payments shall be
made by wire transfer to such Lender's account (as specified by such Lender in
Annex H or the applicable Assignment Agreement) not later than 2:00 p.m. (New
York time) on the next Business Day following each Settlement Date.

                                       83

<PAGE>

          (b) Return of Payments.

               (i) If the Administrative Agent pays an amount to a Lender under
this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or
will be received by the Administrative Agent from Borrower and such related
payment is not received by the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative
Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from such Lender on demand without
setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

               (ii) If the Administrative Agent determines at any time that any
amount received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement must be
returned to Borrower or paid to any other Person pursuant to any insolvency law
or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent will not be
required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each
Lender will repay to the Administrative Agent on demand any portion of such
amount that the Administrative Agent has distributed to such Lender, together
with interest at such rate, if any, as the Administrative Agent is required to
pay to Borrower or such other Person, without setoff, counterclaim or deduction
of any kind.

          (c) Dissemination of Information. The Administrative Agent shall use
reasonable efforts to provide Lenders with any notice of Default or Event of
Default received by the Administrative Agent from, or delivered by the
Administrative Agent to, any Credit Party, with notice of any Event of Default
of which the Administrative Agent has actually become aware and with notice of
any action taken by the Administrative Agent following any Event of Default;
provided, that the Administrative Agent shall not be liable to any Lender for
any failure to do so, except to the extent that such failure is attributable to
the Administrative Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Lenders
acknowledge that Borrower is required to provide Financial Statements and
Collateral Reports to Lenders in accordance with Annexes E and F hereto and
agree that the Administrative Agent shall not have the duty to provide the same
to Lenders.

          (d) Actions in Concert. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, each Lender hereby agrees with each other Lender that no Lender
shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this
Agreement or the Notes (including exercising any rights of setoff) without first
obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and Requisite
Lenders, it being the intent of Lenders that any such action to protect or
enforce rights under this Agreement and the Notes shall be taken in concert and
at the direction or with the consent of the Administrative Agent or Requisite
Lenders.

12. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS

          12.1 Successors and Assigns.

          This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding on and
shall inure to the benefit of each Credit Party, the Administrative Agent,
Lenders and their respective successors and assigns (including, in the case of
any Credit Party, a debtor-in-possession on behalf of such Credit Party), except
as otherwise provided herein or therein. No Credit Party may assign, transfer,
hypothecate or otherwise convey its rights, benefits, obligations or duties

                                       84

<PAGE>

hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents without the prior express
written consent of the Administrative Agent and Lenders. Any such purported
assignment, transfer, hypothecation or other conveyance by any Credit Party
without the prior express written consent of the Administrative Agent and
Lenders shall be void. The terms and provisions of this Agreement are for the
purpose of defining the relative rights and obligations of each Credit Party,
the Administrative Agent and Lenders with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby and no Person shall be a third party beneficiary of any of
the terms and provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

13. MISCELLANEOUS

          13.1 Complete Agreement; Modification of Agreement.

          The Loan Documents constitute the complete agreement between the
parties with respect to the subject matter thereof and may not be modified,
altered or amended except as set forth in Section 13.2. Any letter of interest,
commitment letter, fee letter or confidentiality agreement, if any, between any
Credit Party and the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any of their
respective Affiliates, predating this Agreement and relating to a financing of
substantially similar form, purpose or effect shall be superseded by this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fee Letters and all obligations of
Borrower with respect to syndication contained in the GE Capital Commitment
Letter shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and shall
continue to be binding obligations of the parties.

          13.2 Amendments and Waivers.

from time to time enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications
for the purpose of adding, deleting or modifying any provision of any Loan
Document or changing in any manner the rights, remedies, obligations and duties
of the parties thereto, and with the written consent of the Requisite Lenders,
the Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, may execute and deliver a
written instrument waiving, on such terms and conditions as may be specified in
such instrument, any of the requirements applicable to the Credit Parties, as
the case may be, party to any Loan Document, or any Default or Event of Default
and its consequences; provided, that:

               (i) the Requisite Term A Lenders (or the Administrative Agent
     with the prior written consent of the Requisite Term A Lenders), on the one

     borrowings) and payment procedures with respect to the Term Loan A and (B)
     solely affecting the relative rights, remedies, obligations and priorities
     among Term A Lenders, which does not adversely affect any Term B Lender or
     Term C Lender (in each case, except to the extent any such amendment,
     supplement, modification or waiver would result in an increase of the
     aggregate Term A Commitment or the aggregate outstanding principal amount
     of the Term Loan A);

                                       85
<PAGE>

               (ii) the Requisite Term B Lenders (or the Administrative Agent

     hand, and Borrower, on the other hand, may amend, supplement or otherwise
     modify or waive any of the terms and provisions (and related definitions)
     (A) related solely to the borrowings (including any conditions to such
     borrowings) and payment procedures with respect to the Term Loan B and (B)
     solely affecting the relative rights, remedies, obligations and priorities
     among Term B Lenders, which does not adversely affect any Term A Lender or
     Term C Lender (in each case, except to the extent any such amendment,
     supplement, modification or waiver would result in an increase of the
     aggregate Term B Commitment or the aggregate outstanding principal amount
     of the Term Loan B);

               (iii) the Requisite Term C Lenders (or the Administrative Agent
     with the prior written consent of the Requisite Term C Lenders), on the one
     hand, and Borrower, on the other hand, may amend, supplement or otherwise
     modify or waive any of the terms and provisions (and related definitions)
     (A) related solely to the borrowings (including any conditions to such
     borrowings) and payment procedures with respect to the Term Loan C and (B)
     solely affecting the relative rights, remedies, obligations and priorities
     among Term C Lenders, which does not adversely affect any Term A Lender or
     Term B Lender (in each case, except to the extent any such amendment,
     supplement, modification or waiver would result in an increase of the
     aggregate Term C Commitment or the aggregate outstanding principal amount
     of the Term Loan C);

               (iv) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and
     signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to Lenders required above to
     take such action, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent
     under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; and

               (v) the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of Borrower,
     amend, modify or supplement any Loan Document to cure any ambiguity,
     typographical error, defect or inconsistency;

provided, further, that no amendment, supplement, modification or waiver shall

     dispose of assets in an aggregate amount in excess of $75,000,000 or (C)
     increase the Commitment of any Lender or extend any scheduled final
     maturity of any Loan; or

               (vii) without the prior written consent of each of the
     Supermajority Term A Lenders, the Requisite Term B Lenders and the
     Requisite Term C Lenders, amend, supplement, modify or waive any of the

     (including advance rates and eligibility criteria) if more credit would be
     available to Borrower thereafter; provided, that Borrower's consent will
     not be required with respect to any modifications made in accordance with
     Section 1.6;

provided, further, that no such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver

Credit Obligations and all other Obligations.

          (c) To the extent (a) the consent or vote of any Lender in its
capacity as a Term A Lender, a Term B Lender or a Term C Lender, as applicable,
is required, but not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as
described in this Section 13.2(c) being referred to as a "Non-Consenting
Lender") in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, supplement,
waiver or exercise of remedies (a "Proposed Change") and (b) the Administrative
Agent shall have consented to such Proposed Change, at the request of Borrower
and with the consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably
withheld), any Person reasonably acceptable to such Administrative Agent (which
Person may be the Lender acting as such Administrative Agent and shall have
consented to such Proposed Change) shall have the right (but not the obligation)
to purchase from such Non-Consenting Lender, and such Non-Consenting Lender
shall, upon the request of such Administrative Agent, sell and assign to such
Person all of the applicable Commitments and Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender
for an amount equal to the principal balance of all applicable Loans held by
such Non-Consenting Lender and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees with
respect thereto through the date of such sale and purchase (the "Purchase
Amount"); provided, however, that such sale and purchase (and the corresponding
assignment) shall not be effective until (A) such Administrative Agent shall
have received from such Person an agreement in form and substance satisfactory
to such Administrative Agent whereby such Person shall agree to be bound by the
terms hereof and (B) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received the Purchase
Amount from such Person. Each Lender agrees that, if it becomes a Non-Consenting
Lender, it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent the Note or
Notes evidencing such Commitments or Loans and an Assignment Agreement to
evidence such sale and assignment; provided, however, that the failure of any
Non-Consenting Lender to deliver such Note or Notes or execute an Assignment
Agreement shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding
assignment) invalid.

          (d) Upon the Termination Date, the Administrative Agent shall deliver
to Borrower termination statements, mortgage releases, reconveyances and other
documents necessary or appropriate to evidence the termination of the Liens
securing payment of the Obligations.

          13.3 Fees and Expenses.

          Borrower shall reimburse (i) the Administrative Agent for all fees,
costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of all of its
counsel, advisors, consultants and auditors) and (ii) the Administrative Agent
(and, with respect to clauses (b), (c) and (d) below, all Lenders) for all fees,
costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of counsel
or other advisors (including environmental and management consultants and
appraisers) incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation and filing
and/or recordation of the Loan Documents and incurred in connection with:

          (a) any amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect
to, or termination of, any of the Loan Documents or advice in connection with
the syndication and administration of the Loans made pursuant hereto or its
rights hereunder or thereunder;

          (b) any litigation, contest, dispute, suit, proceeding or action
(whether instituted by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Credit Party or
any other Person and whether as a party, witness or otherwise) in any way
relating to the Collateral, any of the Loan

                                       88

<PAGE>

Documents or any other agreement to be executed or delivered in connection
herewith or therewith, including any litigation, contest, dispute, suit, case,
proceeding or action, and any appeal or review thereof, in connection with a
case commenced by or against any or all of the Credit Parties or any other
Person that may be obligated to the Administrative Agent by virtue of the Loan
Documents, including any such litigation, contest, dispute, suit, proceeding or
action arising in connection with any work-out or restructuring of the Loans
during the pendency of one or more Events of Default; provided, that in the case
of reimbursement of counsel for Lenders other than the Administrative Agent,
such reimbursement shall be limited to one counsel for all such Lenders;
provided, further, that no Person shall be entitled to reimbursement under this
clause (b) in respect of any litigation, contest, dispute, suit, proceeding or
action to the extent any of the foregoing results from such Person's gross
negligence or willful misconduct;

          (c) any attempt to enforce any remedies of the Administrative Agent or
any Lender against any or all of the Credit Parties or any other Person that may
be obligated to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by virtue of any of the
Loan Documents, including any such attempt to enforce any such remedies in the
course of any work-out or restructuring of the Loans during the pendency of one
or more Events of Default; provided, that in the case of reimbursement of
counsel for Lenders other than the Administrative Agent, such reimbursement
shall be limited to one counsel for all such Lenders;

          (d) any workout or restructuring of the Loans during the pendency of
one or more Events of Default; and

          (e) efforts to (i) monitor the Loans or any of the other Obligations,
(ii) evaluate, observe or assess any of the Credit Parties or their respective
affairs, and (iii) verify, protect, evaluate, assess, appraise, collect, sell,
liquidate or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral, in each case pursuant
to and in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents;

including, as to each of clauses (a) through (e) above, all reasonable
attorneys' and other professional and service providers' fees arising from such
services and other advice, assistance or other representation, including those
in connection with any appellate proceedings, and all expenses, costs, charges
and other fees incurred by such counsel and others in connection with or
relating to any of the events or actions described in this Section 13.3, all of
which shall be payable, on demand, by Borrower to the Administrative Agent.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such expenses, costs, charges
and fees may include: fees, costs and expenses of accountants, environmental
advisors, appraisers, investment bankers, management and other consultants and
paralegals; court costs and expenses; photocopying and duplication expenses;
court reporter fees, costs and expenses; long distance telephone charges; air
express charges; telegram or telecopy charges; secretarial overtime charges;
charges for any E-System; and expenses for travel, lodging and food paid or
incurred in connection with the performance of such legal or other advisory
services.

          13.4 No Waiver.

          The Administrative Agent's or any Lender's failure, at any time or
times, to require strict performance by the Credit Parties of any provision of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect or diminish
any right of the Administrative Agent or such

                                       89

<PAGE>

Lender thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance herewith or
therewith. Any suspension or waiver of an Event of Default shall not suspend,
waive or affect any other Event of Default whether the same is prior or
subsequent thereto and whether the same or of a different type. Subject to the
provisions of Section 13.2, none of the undertakings, agreements, warranties,
covenants and representations of any Credit Party contained in this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents and no Default or Event of Default by any Credit
Party shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender, unless such waiver or suspension is by an instrument in
writing signed by an officer of or other authorized employee of the
Administrative Agent and the applicable required Lenders and directed to
Borrower specifying such suspension or waiver.

          13.5 Remedies.

          The Administrative Agent's and Lenders' rights and remedies under this
Agreement shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any other rights and remedies
that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have under any other agreement,
including the other Loan Documents, by operation of law or otherwise. Recourse
to the Collateral shall not be required.

          13.6 Severability.

          Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid
under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision
shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity,
without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions
of this Agreement or such other Loan Document.

          13.7 Conflict of Terms.

          Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents by specific reference to the applicable provisions of this
Agreement, if any provision contained in this Agreement conflicts with any
provision in any of the other Loan Documents, the provision contained in this
Agreement shall govern and control.

          13.8 Confidentiality.

          The Administrative Agent and Lender agree to use commercially
reasonable efforts (equivalent to the efforts the Administrative Agent or Lender
applies to maintain the confidentiality of its own confidential information) to
maintain as confidential all confidential information provided to them by the
Credit Parties and designated as confidential for a period of two (2) years
following receipt thereof, except that the Administrative Agent and Lender may
disclose such information (a) to Persons employed or engaged by the
Administrative Agent or Lender; (b) to any bona fide assignee or participant or
potential assignee or participant that has agreed to comply with the covenant
contained in this Section 13.8 (and any such bona fide assignee or participant
or potential assignee or participant may disclose such information to Persons
employed or engaged by them as described in clause (a) above); (c) as required
or requested by any Governmental Authority or reasonably believed by the
Administrative Agent or

                                       90

<PAGE>

Lender to be compelled by any court decree, subpoena or legal or administrative
order or process; (d) as, on the advice of the Administrative Agent's or
Lender's counsel, is required by law; (e) in connection with the exercise of any
right or remedy under the Loan Documents or in connection with any Litigation to
which the Administrative Agent or Lender is a party related to the Loan
Documents or the Loans or other Obligations thereunder; (f) that ceases to be
confidential through no fault of the Administrative Agent or Lender; (g) to its
affiliates and its and their directors, officers, employees, advisors,
representatives or agents, and (h) to ratings agencies.

          13.9 GOVERNING LAW.

          EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS,
IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND
PERFORMANCE, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE OBLIGATIONS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN THAT STATE AND ANY APPLICABLE
LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. EACH CREDIT PARTY HEREBY CONSENTS AND
AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN NEW YORK COUNTY, CITY OF NEW
YORK, NEW YORK SHALL HAVE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY
CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN THE CREDIT PARTIES, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND
LENDERS PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR TO
ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS; PROVIDED, THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, LENDERS AND THE CREDIT
PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A
COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF NEW YORK COUNTY AND; PROVIDED, FURTHER THAT NOTHING IN
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO
REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS, OR TO
ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.
EACH CREDIT PARTY EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION
IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND EACH CREDIT PARTY HEREBY
WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT SUCH CREDIT PARTY MAY
HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON
CONVENIENS AND HEREBY CONSENTS, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TO THE GRANTING
OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT. EACH
CREDIT PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PERSONAL SERVICE OF
THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND
AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINTS AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY
REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO SUCH CREDIT PARTY AT

                                       91

<PAGE>

THE ADDRESS SET FORTH IN ANNEX I OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT SERVICE SO
MADE SHALL, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BE DEEMED COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER
OF SUCH CREDIT PARTY'S ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR THREE (3) DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN
THE UNITED STATES MAILS, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID.

          13.10 Notices.

          (a) Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever it is provided
herein that any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other
communication shall or may be given to or served upon any of the parties by any
other parties, or whenever any of the parties desires to give or serve upon any
other parties any communication with respect to this Agreement, each such
notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication
shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been validly served, given or
delivered (a) upon the earlier of actual receipt and three (3) Business Days
after deposit in the United States Mail, registered or certified mail, return
receipt requested, with proper postage prepaid, (b) upon transmission, when sent
by telecopy or other similar facsimile transmission (with such telecopy or
facsimile promptly confirmed by delivery of a copy by personal delivery or
United States Mail as otherwise provided in this Section 13.10); (c) one (1)
Business Day after deposit with a reputable overnight courier with all charges
prepaid or (d) when delivered, if hand-delivered by messenger, all of which
shall be addressed to the party to be notified and sent to the address or
facsimile number indicated in Annex I or to such other address (or facsimile
number) as may be substituted by notice given as herein provided. The giving of
any notice required hereunder may be waived in writing by the party entitled to
receive such notice. Failure or delay in delivering copies of any notice,
demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication to any
Person (other than Borrower or the Administrative Agent) designated in Annex I
to receive copies shall in no way adversely affect the effectiveness of such
notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication.

          (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 13.10(a), each of the
Administrative Agent, Borrower, the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and each of their
Related Persons is authorized (but not required) to transmit, post or otherwise
make or communicate, in its sole discretion, Electronic Transmissions in
connection with any Loan Document and the transactions contemplated therein;
provided, that notices to any Credit Party shall not be made by any posting to
an Internet or extranet based site or other equivalent service but may be made
by e-mail or E-fax, if available, so long as such notices are also sent in
accordance with Section 13.10(a). Each Credit Party and each Secured Party
hereby acknowledges and agrees that the use of Electronic Transmissions is not
necessarily secure and that there are risks associated with such use, including
risks of interception, disclosure and abuse and each indicates it assumes and
accepts such risks by hereby authorizing the transmission of Electronic
Transmissions.

          (c) Subject to the provisions of Section 13.10(a), (i)(A) no posting
to any E-System shall be denied legal effect merely because it is made
electronically, (B) each E Signature on any such posting shall be deemed
sufficient to satisfy any requirement for a "signature" and (C) each such
posting shall be deemed sufficient to satisfy any requirement for a "writing",
in each case including pursuant to any Loan Document, any applicable provision
of any Uniform Commercial Code, the federal Uniform Electronic Transactions Act,
the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act and any
substantive or procedural Requirement of Law governing such subject matter, (ii)
each such posting that is not readily

                                       92

<PAGE>

capable of bearing either a signature or a reproduction of a signature may be
signed, and shall be deemed signed, by attaching to, or logically associating
with such posting, an E-Signature, upon which each Secured Party and Credit
Party may rely and assume the authenticity thereof, (iii) each such posting
containing a signature, a reproduction of a signature or an E-Signature shall,
for all intents and purposes, have the same effect and weight as a signed paper
original and (iv) each party hereto or beneficiary hereto agrees not to contest
the validity or enforceability of any posting on any E-System or E-Signature on
any such posting under the provisions of any applicable Requirement of Law
requiring certain documents to be in writing or signed; provided, however, that
nothing herein shall limit such party's or beneficiary's right to contest
whether any posting to any E-System or E-Signature has been altered after
transmission.

          (d) All uses of an E-System shall be governed by and subject to, in
addition to this Section 13.10, separate terms and conditions posted or
referenced in such E-System and related contractual obligations executed by
Secured Parties and Delta Companies in connection with the use of such E-System.

          (e) ALL E-SYSTEMS AND ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSIONS SHALL BE PROVIDED "AS
IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE". NONE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED
PERSONS WARRANTS THE ACCURACY, ADEQUACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY E-SYSTEMS OR
ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION AND DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS
THEREIN. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF
ITS RELATED PERSONS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY E SYSTEMS OR ELECTRONIC
COMMUNICATION, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM
VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS. The Credit Parties agree (and Borrower shall
cause each other Credit Party to agree) that the Administrative Agent has no
responsibility for maintaining or providing any equipment, software, services or
any testing required in connection with any Electronic Transmission or otherwise
required for any E-System.

          13.11 Section Titles.

          The Section titles and Table of Contents contained in this Agreement
are and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever
and are not a part of the agreement between the parties hereto.

          13.12 Counterparts.

          This Agreement may be executed in any number of separate counterparts,
each of which shall collectively and separately constitute one agreement.

          13.13 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

          BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL
TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND
EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY
(RATHER THAN

                                       93

<PAGE>

ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A
JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION
OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO
WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO
RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, AMONG THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, LENDERS AND ANY CREDIT PARTY ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED
WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN
CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE
TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO.

          13.14 Press Releases and Related Matters.

          Each Credit Party executing this Agreement agrees that neither it nor
its Affiliates will in the future issue any press releases or other public
disclosure using the name of the Administrative Agent or any Arranger or its
affiliates or referring to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents without at
least two (2) Business Days' prior notice to the Administrative Agent or such
Arranger, as the case may be, and without the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent or such Arranger, as the case may be, unless (and only to
the extent that) such Credit Party or Affiliate is required to do so under law
and then, in any event, such Credit Party or Affiliate will consult, to the
extent permitted by law, with the Administrative Agent or such Arranger, as the
case may be, before issuing such press release or other public disclosure. Each
Credit Party consents to the publication by the Administrative Agent, any
Arranger or Lender of advertising material relating to the financing
transactions contemplated by this Agreement using Borrower's name, product
photographs, logo or trademark. The Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any
Lender shall provide a draft of any advertising material to each Credit Party
for review and comment at least two (2) Business Days prior to the publication
thereof. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers reserves the right
to provide to industry trade organizations information necessary and customary
for inclusion in league table measurements.

          13.15 [Reserved].

          13.16 Advice of Counsel.

          Each of the parties represents to each other party hereto that it has
discussed this Agreement and, specifically, the provisions of Sections 13.9 and
13.13, with its counsel.

          13.17 No Strict Construction.

          The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and
drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or
interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly
by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring
or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this
Agreement.

     (c) Aggregate Cash On Hand. The Delta Companies shall maintain Aggregate
Cash On Hand of at least:

          (i) at all times from the Closing Date through May 31, 2006,
     $750,000,000;

          (ii) at all times from June 1, 2006 through November 30, 2006,
     $1,000,000,000;

          (iii) at all times from December 1, 2006 through February 28, 2007,
     $750,000,000; and

          (iv) at all times thereafter until the Termination Date,
     $1,000,000,000.

<PAGE>

          If on any date of determination of Aggregate Cash On Hand, any Delta
Company has contractually agreed (i) to post cash collateral for the benefit of
any third party or (ii) that payments otherwise owing to it by a third party
shall be subject to a holdback, in each case in an amount exceeding
$125,000,000, such amount shall not be included in any calculation of Aggregate
Cash On Hand on such date of determination to the extent such obligation to post
cash collateral or such holdback will become effective within ninety (90) days
of such date of determination; provided, that in no event shall any
determination of Aggregate Cash On Hand exclude the amount of cash collateral or
any holdback to be provided (x) in connection with any aircraft or equipment
financing or lease or (y) pursuant to any other agreement with GE Capital or any
of its affiliates until, in each case, actually so provided.

               Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any accounting
term used in the Agreement shall have the meaning customarily given such term in
accordance with GAAP, and all financial computations hereunder shall be computed
in accordance with GAAP consistently applied. That certain items or computations
are explicitly modified by the phrase "in accordance with GAAP" shall in no way
be construed to limit the foregoing. If any "Accounting Changes" (as defined
below) occur and such changes result in a change in the calculation of the
financial covenants, standards or terms used in the Agreement or any other Loan
Document, then Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders agree to enter into
negotiations in order to amend such provisions of the Agreement so as to
equitably reflect such Accounting Changes with the desired result that the
criteria for evaluating Borrower's and its Subsidiaries' financial condition
shall be the same after such Accounting Changes as if such Accounting Changes
had not been made; provided, however, that the agreement of Requisite Lenders to
any required amendments of such provisions shall be sufficient to bind all
Lenders. "Accounting Changes" means (i) changes in accounting principles
required by the promulgation of any rule, regulation, pronouncement or opinion
by the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants (or successor thereto or any agency with similar
functions), (ii) changes in accounting principles concurred in by Borrower's
certified public accountants; (iii) purchase accounting adjustments under A.P.B.
16 or 17 and EITF 88-16, and the application of the accounting principles set
forth in FASB 109, including the establishment of reserves pursuant thereto and
any subsequent reversal (in whole or in part) of such reserves; and (iv) the
reversal of any reserves established as a result of purchase accounting
adjustments. All such adjustments resulting from expenditures made subsequent to
the Closing Date (including capitalization of costs and expenses or payment of
pre-Closing Date liabilities) shall be treated as expenses in the period the
expenditures are made and deducted as part of the calculation of EBITDAR in such
period. If Administrative Agent, Borrower and Requisite Lenders agree upon the
required amendments, then after appropriate amendments have been executed and
the underlying Accounting Change with respect thereto has been implemented, any
reference to GAAP contained in the Agreement or in any other Loan Document
shall, only to the extent of such Accounting Change, refer to GAAP, consistently
applied after giving effect to the implementation of such Accounting Change. If
Administrative Agent, Borrower and Requisite Lenders cannot agree upon the
required amendments within thirty (30) days following the date of implementation
of any Accounting Change, then all Financial Statements delivered and all
calculations of financial covenants and other standards and terms in accordance
with the Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be prepared, delivered and
made without regard to the underlying Accounting Change. For purposes of Section
8.1, a breach of a Financial Covenant contained in this Annex G shall be deemed
to have

                                      G-3

<PAGE>

occurred as of any date of determination by Administrative Agent or as of the
last day of any specified measurement period, regardless of when the Financial
Statements reflecting such breach are delivered to Administrative Agent.
