                  2.1.     Guarantee of Borrower Obligations. (a) The Guarantor
hereby, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees to the Administrative Agent,
for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and their respective successors,
endorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and
performance by the Borrower and the Permitted Borrower when due (whether at the

                  (b)      The Guarantor further agrees to pay any and all
reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel) which may be paid or incurred by the Administrative
Agent or any other Lender in enforcing, or obtaining advice of counsel in

against, the Guarantor under this Guarantee.

                  (c)      Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the
contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of the Guarantor under this
subsection 2.1 shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by

of debtors.

                  (d)      The Guarantor agrees that the Borrower Obligations
may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of the
Guarantor hereunder without impairing the guarantee contained in this subsection
2.1 or affecting the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or any
Lender hereunder.

                  (e)      The Guarantor further agrees that its obligations
with respect to any guarantee which it may issue in support of the Borrower's
obligations under any Senior Subordinated Indebtedness, including the
Exchangeable Senior Subordinated Notes and the New Senior Subordinated Notes,
shall be subordinated to its obligations under this Guarantee and that any
guarantee issued by it with respect to Senior Subordinated Indebtedness shall be
on terms no less favorable to the Secured Parties than the subordination
provisions of the Senior Subordinated Indebtedness to which such guarantee
relates.

                  (f)      The guarantee contained in this subsection 2.1 shall
remain in full force and effect until all the Borrower Obligations and the
obligations of the Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this subsection
2.1 shall have been satisfied by payment in full, no Letter of Credit shall be
outstanding and the Commitments shall be terminated, notwithstanding that

                                        3

<PAGE>

from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement the Borrower and the
Permitted Borrower may be free from any Borrower Obligations.

                  (g)      No payment made by the Borrower, the Permitted
Borrower, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by
the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party from the Borrower, the Permitted
Borrower, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or
proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from
time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Borrower Obligations shall be
deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of the
Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than
any payment made by the Guarantor in respect of the Borrower Obligations or any
payment received or collected from the Guarantor in respect of the Borrower
Obligations), remain liable for the Borrower Obligations up to the maximum
liability of the Guarantor hereunder until, subject to subsection 2.5, the
Borrower Obligations are paid in full, no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding
and the Commitments are terminated.

                  2.2.     No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by
the Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of the Guarantor
by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Parties, the Guarantor shall not be
entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or
any Secured Party against the Borrower, the Permitted Borrower or any other
guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the
Administrative Agent or any Secured Party for the payment of the Borrower
Obligations, nor shall the Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any
contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower, Permitted Borrower or any other
guarantor in respect of payments made by the Guarantor hereunder, until all
amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties by the
Borrower and the Permitted Borrower on account of the Borrower Obligations are
paid in full, no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding and the Commitments are
terminated. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor on account of such
subrogation rights at any time when all of the Borrower Obligations shall not
have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by the Guarantor in trust for
the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of
the Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by the Guarantor, be turned
over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by the Guarantor
(duly indorsed by the Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be
applied against the Borrower Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in
accordance with the Credit Agreement.

                  2.3.     Amendments, etc. with respect to the Borrower
Obligations. The Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding
that, without any reservation of rights against the Guarantor and without notice
to or further assent by the Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the
Borrower Obligations made by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party may
be rescinded by the Administrative Agent or such Secured Party and any of the
Borrower Obligations continued, and the Borrower Obligations, or the liability
of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or
guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to
time, in whole or in part be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated,
compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Administrative Agent or any
Secured Party, and the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any
other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended,
modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative

                                        4

<PAGE>

Agent (or appropriate Secured Parties, as the case may be, in accordance with
the Credit Agreement) may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral
security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Administrative
Agent or any Secured Party for the payment of the Borrower Obligations may be
sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released in accordance with the terms of
the Credit Agreement. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party
shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any
time held by it as security for the Borrower Obligations or any property subject
thereto.

                  2.4.     Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. The Guarantor
waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any
of the Borrower Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the
Administrative Agent or any Secured Party upon the guarantee contained in
subsection 2.1 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in subsection 2.1; the
Borrower Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been
extended, and the Consent shall have conclusively been deemed to have been made,
in reliance upon the guarantee contained in subsection 2.1; and all dealings
between the Borrower, the Permitted Borrower, the Guarantor and any other
guarantor, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Secured
Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been
had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in subsection 2.1.
The Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and
notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Borrower, the Permitted Borrower
or any other guarantor with respect to the Borrower Obligations. The Guarantor
understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in subsection 2.1 shall be
construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment
without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement,
any other Loan Document, any of the Borrower Obligations or any other collateral
security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any
time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party,
(b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or
performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the
Borrower, the Permitted Borrower, any other guarantor or any other Person
against the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party, other than payment in
full of the Borrower Obligations (except as set forth elsewhere in this
Agreement), or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to
or knowledge of the Borrower, the Permitted Borrower or the Guarantor) which
constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal
discharge of the Borrower, the Permitted Borrower or any other guarantor for the
Borrower Obligations, or of the Guarantor under the guarantee contained in
subsection 2.1, in bankruptcy or in any other instance (other than a defense of
payment or performance). When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing
its rights and remedies hereunder against the Guarantor, the Administrative
Agent or any Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a
similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have
against the Borrower, the Permitted Borrower, any other guarantor or any other
Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Borrower
Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the
Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to make any such demand, to pursue
such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower, the
Permitted Borrower, any other guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon
any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of
offset, or any release of the Borrower, the Permitted Borrower, any other
guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or
right of offset, shall not relieve the Guarantor of any obligation

                                        5

or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies,
whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative
Agent or any Secured Party against the Guarantor. For the purposes hereof
"demand" shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal
proceedings.

                  2.5.     Reinstatement. This Guarantee shall continue to be
effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any
part thereof, of any of the Borrower Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise
be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party upon
the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the
Borrower or any other guarantor or upon or as a result of the appointment of a
receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the
Borrower or any other guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or
otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

                  2.6.     Payments. The Guarantor hereby guarantees that
payments hereunder will be paid to the Administrative Agent without set-off or
counterclaim in Dollars at the office of the Administrative Agent located at

                                   SECTION 3.

Effect and (iv) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law except to the
extent that the failure to comply therewith could not, in the aggregate,

                  (c)      The execution, delivery and performance of this
Guarantee will not violate any Requirement of Law or material Contractual
Obligation of the Guarantor or of any of its Subsidiaries and will not result

respective properties or revenues pursuant to any such Requirement of Law or
material Contractual Obligation (other than pursuant to this Guarantee).

                  (d)      No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or
before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge
of the Guarantor, threatened by or against the Guarantor or any of its
Subsidiaries or against any of its or their respective properties or revenues

contemplated hereby or thereby, or (y) which, if adversely determined, could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                                   SECTION 4.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

amended, supplemented or otherwise modified by a written instrument executed by
the Guarantor and the Administrative Agent.

                  4.2.     Notices. All notices, requests and demands under this
Guarantee shall be given in accordance with subsection 10.2 of the Credit
Agreement. Any notice, request or demand to be given to the Guarantor shall be
given in care of ("c/o") the Borrower at the Borrower's address or transmission

                  4.3.     Further Assurances. The Guarantor hereby covenants
and agrees with the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties that,
from and after the date of this Guarantee until payment in full of the Borrower

subsection 2.1 hereof), at any time and from time to time, upon the written
request of the Administrative Agent, and at the sole expense of the Guarantor,
the Guarantor will promptly and duly execute and deliver such further
instruments and documents and take such further actions as the Administrative
Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of obtaining or preserving the
full benefits of this Guarantee and of the rights herein granted.

                  4.4.     No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies.
Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party shall by any act (except
by a written instrument pursuant to Section 4.1), delay, indulgence, omission or
otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have
acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any
delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Secured
Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any Loan Document shall
operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power
or privilege hereunder or under any Loan Document shall preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
A waiver by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party of any right or remedy
hereunder or under any Loan Document on any one occasion shall not be

<PAGE>

construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Administrative Agent or such
Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and
remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently
and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

                  4.5.     Counterparts. This Guarantee may be executed on any
number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together

Guarantor agrees to pay or reimburse each Secured Party and the Administrative
Agent for all its costs and expenses incurred in collecting against the
Guarantor under the guarantee contained in subsection 2, including, without
limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the
Administrative Agent.

                  (b)      The Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the
Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties harmless from any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect
to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this
Guarantee to the same extent the Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to
subsection 9.7 of the Credit Agreement.

                  (c)      The agreements in this subsection 4.6 shall survive
repayment of the Borrower Obligations and all other amounts payable under the
Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties provided by law, the
Administrative Agent and each Secured Party shall have the right, without prior
notice to the Guarantor, any such notice being expressly waived by the Guarantor
to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and
payable by the Guarantor hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise) to set off and appropriate and apply against such
amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or
final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any
currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent,
matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Secured Party or any
branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Guarantor.
The Administrative Agent and each Secured Party agrees promptly to notify the
Guarantor and (if applicable) the Administrative Agent after any such set off
and application made by the Administrative Agent or such Secured Party, provided
that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such
setoff and application.

                  4.8.     Severability. Any provision of this Guarantee which
is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or
render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

3

 

		
	 	     
    8.     Option.
    
	 
	 	     
    (a) Each Stockholder hereby irrevocably
    grants Parent an option (the “Option”), exercisable
    only upon the events and subject to the conditions set forth
    herein, to purchase any or all of such Stockholder’s
    Individual Shares at a purchase price per share equal to $3.00
    (or such higher per share price as may be offered by Sub in the
    Offer).
    
	 
	 	     
    (b) Subject to the conditions to the Offer
    and Sub’s obligation to purchase tendered Shares, each as
    set forth in the Merger Agreement, and the termination
    provisions of Section 12 hereof, Parent may exercise the
    Option in whole or in part at any time prior to the Option
    Expiration Date if the Stockholder fails to comply with any of
    its obligations under this Agreement, or the Stockholder
    withdraws the tender of the Individual Shares (but the Option
    shall not limit any other right or remedy available to Parent or
    Sub against such Stockholder for breach of this Agreement).
    
	 
	 	     
    Upon the occurrence of any of such circumstances,
    Parent shall be entitled to exercise the Option and purchase
    such Stockholder’s Individual Shares, and the Stockholder
    shall sell such Individual Shares to Parent. Parent shall
    exercise the Option by delivering written notice of such
    exercise to the Stockholder (the “Notice”), specifying
    the number of Individual Shares to be purchased and the date,
    time and place for the closing of such purchase, which date
    shall not be less than three business days nor more than five
    business days from the date the Stockholder received the Notice
    and in no event shall such date be later than the Option
    Expiration Date. The closing of the purchase of Individual
    Shares pursuant to this Section 8(b) (the
    “Closing”) shall take place on the date, at the time
    and at the place specified in such Notice; provided, that if at
    such date any of the Tender Offer Conditions and Sub’s
    obligation to purchase tendered Shares shall not have been
    satisfied (or waived), Parent may postpone the Closing until a
    date within five business days after such conditions are
    satisfied or waived (but not later than the Option Expiration
    Date). Upon the request of Parent, each Stockholder shall
    promptly take, or cause to be taken, all action required to
    effect all necessary filings by such Stockholder under
    applicable law and shall cooperate with Parent with respect to
    the filing obligations of Parent and Sub, in each case as may be
    required in connection with the Closing.
    
	 
	 	     
    (c) At the Closing, each Stockholder will
    deliver to Parent (i) a certificate, dated the date of the
    Closing, certifying that the representations and warranties of
    such Stockholder in Section 10 are true and correct as of
    the date of the Closing and (ii) in accordance with
    Parent’s instructions, the certificates representing the
    Individual Shares and being purchased pursuant to
    Section 8(a), duly endorsed or accompanied by stock powers
    duly executed in blank. At such Closing, Parent shall deliver to
    each Stockholder, by bank wire transfer of immediately available
    funds, an amount equal to the number of such Stockholder’s
    Individual Shares being purchased as specified in the Notice
    multiplied by $3.00 (or such higher per share price as may be
    offered by Sub in the Offer).
    
	 
	 	     
    9.     No
    Purchase. Parent and Sub may allow the Offer to expire
    without accepting for payment or paying for any Individual
    Shares, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to
    Purchase (as defined in the Merger Agreement), and may allow the
    Option to expire without exercising the Option and purchasing
    all or any Individual Shares pursuant to such exercise. If all
    Individual Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn are not
    accepted for payment and paid for in accordance with the terms
    of the Offer to Purchase or pursuant to the exercise of the
    Option, they shall be returned to the Stockholders, whereupon
    they shall continue to be held by the Stockholders subject to
    the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
    
	 
	 	     
    10.     Representations
    and Warranties of the Stockholders. Each Stockholder
    represents and warrants to Parent and Sub as follows:
    

		
	 	     
    (a) Except as noted in Appendix A, such
    Stockholder is the record holder of the Individual Shares set
    forth in column (1) of Appendix A and Beneficially
    Owns such Individual Shares, free and clear of any claims and
    Encumbrances, other than Encumbrances pursuant to this
    Agreement, and the transfer of such Stockholder’s
    Individual Shares hereunder will effectively
    

4

 

		
	 	
    vest in Sub valid and marketable title to such
    Shareholder’s Individual Shares pursuant to and as
    contemplated by this Agreement free and clear of any
    Encumbrances, other than Encumbrances pursuant to this Agreement.
    
	 
	 	     
    (b) This Agreement has been duly executed
    and delivered by such Stockholder and constitutes a valid and
    binding obligation of such Stockholder enforceable in accordance
    with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by
    bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization,
    moratorium and other similar laws of general applicability
    relating to or affecting creditors’ rights, and to general
    equity principles.
    
	 
	 	     
    (c) This Agreement covers all of such
    Stockholder’s Individual Shares except for options to
    purchase Shares which were granted by the Company to the
    Stockholder (provided, however, that any Shares acquired by such
    Stockholder upon exercise of any such options after the date
    hereof and prior to the termination of the Merger Agreement in
    accordance with Article VII thereof are covered by this
    Agreement). As of the date hereof, such Stockholder Beneficially
    Owns the number of Shares set forth on column (1) and
    options to purchase Shares set forth on column (2),
    respectively, of Appendix A.
    
	 
	 	     
    (d) This Agreement and the execution and
    delivery hereof by such Stockholder does not, and consummation
    of the transactions contemplated hereby will not,
    (i) result in a violation of or breach of, or constitute
    (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default
    (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or
    acceleration) under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions
    of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, license, agreement or
    other instruments or obligations to which such Stockholder is a
    party or by which any of its property or assets may be bound or
    (ii) violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, statute,
    rule or regulation applicable to such Stockholder or any of its
    properties or assets.
    

		
	 	     
    11.     Representations
    and Warranties of Parent and Sub. Parent and Sub hereby
    represent and warrant to each Stockholder as follows:
    

		
	 	     
    (a) Each of Parent and Sub is a corporation
    duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under
    the laws of the State of Delaware.
    
	 
	 	     
    (b) The execution, delivery and performance
    by Parent and Sub of this Agreement and the consummation by
    Parent and Sub of the transactions contemplated hereby are
    within Parent and Sub’s corporate powers and have been duly
    authorized by all necessary corporate action. Assuming due
    authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
    Stockholders, this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding
    agreement of Parent and Sub enforceable against Parent and Sub
    in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may
    be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer,
    reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general
    applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights,
    and to general equity principles.
    

		
	 	     
    12.     Termination.
    This Agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the
    Effective Time, (ii) the purchase by Sub of the Individual
    Shares pursuant to the Offer or (iii) the Option Expiration
    Date. The provisions of Sections 7, 10 and 11 hereof shall
    survive the termination of this Agreement.
    
	 
	 	     
    13.     Further
    Assurances. Each Stockholder shall, upon request of Parent
    or Sub, and at Parent’s sole cost and expense execute and
    deliver any additional documents and take such further actions
    as may reasonably be deemed by Parent or Sub to be necessary or
    desirable to carry out the provisions hereof, including without
    limitation, to effectuate the intent of the proxy granted
    pursuant to Section 5(b).
    
	 
	 	     
    14.     Specific
    Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that
    if any Stockholder fails to perform his or her obligations under
    or otherwise breaches this Agreement, Parent and Sub would not
    have an adequate remedy at law and would be irreparably harmed
    and that the damages therefor would be difficult to determine.
    It is accordingly agreed that Parent and Sub shall be entitled
    to injunctive relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement by
    any Stockholder and to specifically
    

5

 

		
	 	
    enforce the terms and provisions hereof, this
    being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled
    at law or in equity.
    
	 
	 	     
    15.     Notices.
    Any notice, request , instruction or other document to be given
    hereunder by any party to another party shall be in writing and
    shall be deemed given when delivered personally, upon receipt of
    a transmission confirmation (with a confirming copy sent by
    overnight courier) if sent by facsimile or like transmission,
    and on the next business day when sent by Federal Express,
    United Parcel Service, Express Mail, or other reputable
    overnight courier, to the party at the following addresses (or
    such other addresses for a party as shall be specified by like
    notice):
