                   SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

     This SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT is dated as of April 13,
2006 (this "Agreement"), and entered into by and among CompBenefits Corporation,
a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), the Subsidiary Guarantors listed on the

(each a "Purchaser" and collectively, the "Purchasers").

     Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
ascribed to such terms in Section 10.1 hereof.

     In consideration of the premises, mutual covenants and agreements
hereinafter contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company agrees and each of
the Purchasers agrees, severally but not jointly, as follows:

SECTION 1. PURCHASE AND SALE OF NOTES

1.1 Issue of Notes

     (a) On or before the Closing, the Company will have authorized the issue
and sale to the Purchasers, in the respective amounts set forth in Schedule 1.1,
of $36,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 11.75% Senior Subordinated
Notes due April 12, 2016 (the "Notes"), to be substantially in the form attached
hereto as Annex A.

     (b) The Notes shall include such notations, legends or endorsements set
forth thereon or required by law. Each Note shall be dated the date of its
issuance. Subject to Section 1.7, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes
issued by the Company may not exceed $36,000,000, except to the extent interest
is added to the principal of any Note in accordance with the provisions thereof.
The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby
expressly made, a part of this Agreement and, to the extent applicable, the
Company, by its execution and delivery of this Agreement, expressly agrees to
such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.

1.2 Purchase and Sale of Notes

     (a) Purchase and Sale. The Company agrees to sell and, subject to the terms
and conditions set forth herein and in reliance on the representations and

indicated thereon.

     (b) Closing. The purchase and sale of the Notes shall take place at a

<PAGE>

the name of such nominee or nominees as such Purchaser may request), dated the
Closing Date, against payment of the purchase price therefor by intra-bank or
Federal funds bank wire transfer of same day funds to such bank account which is
identified on Schedule 1.2 hereto or such other account as the Company shall
designate at least two Business Days prior to the Closing.

     (c) Fees and Expenses. Subject to Section 8, whether or not the Notes are
sold, the Company agrees to pay or reimburse all reasonable expenses relating to
this Agreement, including but not limited to:

          (i) Newstone's and each Purchaser's reasonable expenses incurred in
     connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the
     other Documents, including, without limitation, travel and lodging expenses
     and all costs incurred in connection with such Purchaser's review of the
     Company's and each of its Subsidiaries' business and operations;

          (ii) the reasonable fees and other charges and expenses of Newstone's
     counsel and the Purchasers' counsel in connection herewith and with the
     other Documents;

          (iii) the reasonable cost of printing, reproducing and delivering to
     Newstone and each Purchaser's home, office or the office of such
     Purchaser's designee, insured to Newstone or such Purchaser's satisfaction,
     as applicable, this Agreement, the Stockholders Agreement, the Registration
     Agreement, the Notes and the other Documents;

          (iv) any reasonable fees and expenses (including the reasonable fees
     and expenses of counsel) in connection with any registration or
     qualification of the Notes required in connection with the offer and sale
     of the Notes pursuant to this Agreement under the securities or "blue sky"
     laws of any jurisdiction requiring such registration or qualification or in
     connection with obtaining any exemptions from such requirements;

          (v) Newstone's and each Purchaser's reasonable expenses (including the
     reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) relating to any amendment to, or
     modification of, or any waiver or consent or preservation of rights under,
     this Agreement or any of the other Documents; and

          (vi) all other reasonable expenses, including without limitation
     counsel's fees, accountant's fees and any rating agency fees incurred by
     the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by this

Newstone or such Purchaser is entitled to reimbursement pursuant to this Section
1.2(c), including, without limitation, the reasonable and documented fees and
expenses of Newstone's counsel and such Purchaser's counsel in accordance with
clause (ii) above.

                                       2

<PAGE>

     (d) Other Purchasers. Each Purchaser's obligations hereunder are subject to
the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the other Purchasers listed on
the signature pages hereof. The obligations of each Purchaser shall be several
and not joint, and no Purchaser shall be liable or responsible for the acts of
any other Purchaser under this Agreement.

1.3 Registration of Notes

     The Company shall cause to be kept at its principal office a register for
the registration and transfer of the Notes (the "Note Register"). The names and
addresses of the Holders of Notes, the amount of outstanding principal and
interest owing to each Holder, the transfer of Notes, and the names and
addresses of the transferees of the Notes shall be registered in the Note
Register.

     The Person in whose name any registered Note shall be registered shall be
deemed and treated as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes of this
Agreement, and the Company shall not be affected or bound by any notice to the
contrary, until due presentment of such Note for registration of transfer so
provided in this Section 1.3. Payment of or on account of the principal,
premium, if any, and interest on any registered Notes shall be made to or upon
the written order of such registered holder.

     When Notes are presented to the Company, with a request to register the
transfer of such Notes or to exchange such Notes for an equal principal amount
of Notes of other authorized denominations, the Company shall register the
transfer or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for
such transaction are met.

1.4 Delivery Expenses

     If a Holder surrenders any Note to the Company for any reason, the Company
agrees to pay the cost of delivering to such Holder's home, office or to the
office of such Holder's designee from the Company, insured to such Holder's
reasonable satisfaction, the surrendered Note and each Note issued in
substitution, replacement or exchange for, or upon conversion of, the
surrendered Note.

1.5 Issue Taxes

     The Company agrees to pay all Taxes (other than Taxes in the nature of
income, franchise or gift taxes) and governmental fees in connection with the
issuance, sale, delivery or transfer by the Company to each Holder of the Notes
and the execution and delivery of the other Documents and any modification of
any of such Notes and Documents and will save such Holder harmless without
limitation as to time against any and all liabilities with respect to all such
taxes and fees. The obligations of the Company under this Section 1.5 shall
survive the payment or prepayment of the Notes, at maturity, upon redemption or
otherwise, and the termination of this Agreement and the other Documents.

1.6 Direct Payment

     (a) The Company will pay or cause to be paid all amounts payable with
respect to any Note (without any presentment of such Note and without any
notation of such payment

                                       3

<PAGE>

being made thereon) by crediting (before 12:00 noon, New York City time), by
Federal funds bank wire transfer in same day funds to each Holder's account in
any bank in the United States as may be designated and specified in writing by
such Holder at least two Business Days prior thereto. Each Purchaser's initial
bank account for this purpose is on Schedule 1.1.

     (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Notes, if any
principal amount payable with respect to a Note is payable, at maturity, upon
redemption or otherwise, on a Legal Holiday, then the Company shall pay such
amount on the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall accrue on such
amount until the date on which such amount is paid and payment of such accrued
interest shall be made concurrently with the payment of such amount; provided
that the Company may elect to pay in full (but not in part) any such amount on
the last Business Day prior to the date such payment otherwise would be due, and
no such additional interest shall accrue on such amount. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in the Notes, if any interest payable with
respect to a Note is payable on a Legal Holiday, then the Company shall pay such
interest on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall
be included in the computation of the interest payment, provided that the
Company may elect to pay in full (but not in part) any such interest on the last
Business Day prior to the date such payment otherwise would be due, and such
diminution in time shall be included in the computation of the interest payment.

     (c) Each (i) payment or prepayment of principal of the Notes, (ii) payment
of interest on the Notes and (iii) payment of consent fees and other amounts
paid in respect of the Notes in accordance with this Agreement and the Notes,
shall be allocated pro rata among the Holders in accordance with the respective
principal amounts of their Notes.

1.7 Lost Notes, Etc.

     If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Company or if the Holder of a
Note claims and submits an affidavit or other evidence, satisfactory to the
Company to the effect that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully
taken, the Company shall issue a replacement Note if the customary requirements
relating to replacement securities are reasonably satisfied. If required by the
Company, such Holder must provide an indemnity bond, or other form of indemnity,
sufficient in the judgment of the Company to protect the Company from any loss
which it may suffer if a Note is replaced. If any Purchaser or any other
institutional Holder (or nominee thereof) is the owner of any such lost, stolen
or destroyed Note, then the affidavit of an authorized officer of such owner,
setting forth the fact of loss, theft or destruction and of its ownership of the
Note at the time of such loss, theft or destruction shall be accepted as
satisfactory evidence thereof, and no further indemnity shall be required as a
condition to the execution and delivery of a new Note other than the unsecured
written agreement of such owner reasonably satisfactory to the Company to
indemnify the Company, or at the option of the Purchaser, an indemnity bond in
the amount of the Note remaining outstanding.

     Every replacement Note is an obligation of the Company.

                                       4

1.8 Indemnification

     In addition to all other sums due hereunder or provided for in this
Agreement or any of the other Documents and any and all obligations of the
Company to indemnify any Purchaser hereunder or under any of the other
Documents, the Company hereby agrees, without limitation as to time, to
indemnify each Purchaser, each Affiliate of a Purchaser and each director,
officer, employee, counsel, agent or representative of such Purchaser and its
Affiliates (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") against, and hold it and
them harmless from, to the fullest extent lawful, all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, costs of preparation and
reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) and expenses, including expenses
of investigation (collectively, "Losses"), incurred by it or them and arising
out of or in connection with this Agreement, the Senior Credit Agreement, the
other Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (or any other
document or instrument executed herewith or pursuant hereto or thereto), whether
or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated and
whether or not any Indemnified Party is a formal party to any proceeding;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to any Indemnified Party
for any Losses to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or review)
that such Losses arose from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnified Party or result from a breach in bad faith of such Indemnified
Party's obligations hereunder or under any other Document which (a) is
independent of any wrongful act by the Company, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates
or any of their respective representatives and (b) was not taken by such
Indemnified Party in reliance upon any of, the representations, warranties,
covenants or promises of the Company herein (including, without limitation,
those incorporated by reference herein) or in the other Documents, including
(without limitation) the certificates delivered by the Company pursuant hereto
or thereto. The Company agrees to reimburse any Indemnified Party promptly for
all such Losses as they are incurred by such Indemnified Party. The obligations
of the Company to each Indemnified Party hereunder shall be separate
obligations, and the Company's liability to any such Indemnified Party hereunder
shall not be extinguished solely because any other Indemnified Party is not
entitled to indemnity hereunder. The obligations of the Company under this
Section 1.8 shall survive the payment or prepayment of the Notes, at maturity,
upon acceleration, redemption or otherwise, any transfer of the Notes by any
Purchaser and the termination of this Agreement, the Notes, the Senior Credit
Agreement, the Stockholders Agreement, the Registration Agreement and any of the
other Documents.

     In case any action, claim or proceeding shall be brought against any
Indemnified Party with respect to which indemnity may be sought against the
Company hereunder, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Company in
writing and the Company shall assume the defense thereof, including the
employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party and
payment of all reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with the
defense thereof. The failure to so notify the Company shall not affect any
obligation it may have to any Indemnified Party under this Agreement or
otherwise except to the extent that (as finally determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to review or appeal))
such failure materially and adversely prejudiced the Company. Each Indemnified
Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in such action, claim or
proceeding and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of
such counsel shall be at the expense of each Indemnified Party unless: (i) the
Company has agreed to pay such

expenses; or (ii) the Company has failed promptly to assume the defense and
employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party; or (iii) the
named parties to any such action, claim or proceeding (including any impleaded
parties) include any Indemnified Party and the Company or an Affiliate of the
Company, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that
either (x) there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are
different from or in addition to those available to the Company or such
Affiliate or (y) a conflict of interest may exist if such counsel represents
such Indemnified Party and the Company or its Affiliate; provided that, if such
Indemnified Party notifies the Company in writing that it elects to employ
separate counsel in the circumstances described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii)
above, the Company shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and
such counsel shall be at the expense of the Company; provided, however, that the
Company shall not, in connection with any one such action or proceeding or
separate but substantially similar or related actions or proceedings in the same
jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be
responsible hereunder for the fees and expenses of more than one such firm of
separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel), which counsel shall be
designated by such Indemnified Party. The Company shall not be liable for any
settlement of any such action effected without its written consent (which shall
not be unreasonably withheld). The Company agrees that it will not, without the
Indemnified Party's prior written consent, consent to entry of any judgment or
settle or compromise any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding in
respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder unless
the foregoing contains an unconditional release, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Parties, of the Indemnified Parties
from all liability and obligation arising therefrom.

     If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.8 is unavailable to,
or insufficient to hold harmless, any Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses
referred to therein, then the Company shall have an obligation to contribute to
the amount paid or payable by such Persons as a result of such Losses in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company, its
Subsidiaries and Affiliates, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on the
other hand, in connection with the actions which resulted in such Losses as well
as any other relevant equitable considerations. The amount paid or payable by
any such Person as a result of the Losses referred to above shall be deemed to
include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.8. any reasonable
legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such Person in connection
with any investigation, lawsuit or legal or administrative action or proceeding.

     The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 1.8 were determined by pro rata allocation
or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the
equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. No
Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person
who is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

1.9 Further Actions

     During the period from the date hereof to the Closing Date, the Company
shall (a) take all actions necessary or appropriate to cause its representations
and warranties contained in Section 4 hereof to be true and correct as of the
Closing Date (unless stated to refer to another date), both before and after
giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and

to be taken, all action, and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary,
proper or advisable under applicable law and regulations to consummate and make
effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without
limitation, obtaining all consents and approvals of all Persons and removing all
injunctive or other impediments or delays, legal or otherwise, which are
necessary to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
and the other Documents.

affiliate (as defined in Rule 501(b) of the Securities Act) of the Company will
sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect
of any security (as defined in the Securities Act) that would be integrated with
the sale of the Notes in a manner that would require the registration under the
Securities Act of the sale to the Purchasers of the Notes.

are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by the Company to
be reasonable and attainable at the time made; it being understood by the
Purchasers, however, that projections as to future events are not to be viewed
as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such
Projections may differ from the projected results and that such differences may
be material.

respect to their source of funds and is subject, in the event that the source of
the funds used by the Purchasers in connection with this transaction is an

maintained in confidence by the Consolidated Parties and their respective former
and current employees, agents, consultants and independent contractors in

steps to restrict the right of all former and current members of management and
key personnel of each Consolidated Party, including all former and current
employees, agents, consultants and independent contractors who have materially
contributed to or participated in the conception and development of any of the
material intellectual property owned by any Consolidated Party (collectively,

tangible and intangible property thereby arising or (ii) to execute appropriate
instruments of assignment in favor of the Consolidated Parties as assignee that
have conveyed to the Consolidated Parties full, effective and exclusive
ownership of all tangible and intangible property thereby arising. To the
knowledge of the Consolidated Parties, no former or current Personnel have any
claim against the Consolidated Parties in connection with such Person's
involvement in the conception and development of any intellectual property and
no such claim has been asserted or is threatened. None of the current officers
and employees of any of the Consolidated Parties have any patents issued or
applications pending for any device, process, design or invention of any kind
now used or needed by any of the Consolidated Parties in the furtherance of its
business operations, which patents or applications have not been assigned to the
Consolidated Parties, with such assignment duly recorded in the United States
Patent Office.

has maintained in good standing any licenses, permits, consents and
authorizations required to be obtained by it under all laws or regulations
relating to its business (collectively, the "Laws"), except those the absence of
which (neither individually nor in the aggregate) could reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect, and each such license, permit, consent and
authorization remains in full force and effect, except as to any of the
foregoing the absence of which (individually or in the aggregate) could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and each
of the Subsidiaries of the Company are in compliance with the Laws in all
material respects, except for any such failure which could not reasonably be

such policies are in full force and effect, all premiums due and payable thereon
have been paid (other than retroactive or retrospective premium adjustments that
are not yet, but may be, required to be paid with respect to any prior period
under comprehensive general liability and worker's compensation insurance
policies), and no notice of cancellation or termination has been received with
respect to any such policy which has not been replaced on substantially similar

                                       26

<PAGE>

4.1 Purchase for Own Account

     Except as contemplated by the Put and Call Agreements, such Purchaser or
such Account Manager is purchasing the Notes to be purchased by it solely for
its own account (or in the case of Account Managers, on behalf of managed
accounts) and not as nominee or agent for any other person (other than for such
managed accounts, if applicable) and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in
connection with, any distribution thereof (within the meaning of the Securities
Act) that would be in violation of the securities laws of the United States of
America or any state thereof, without prejudice, however, to its right at all
times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of said Notes pursuant to
a registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and subject,
nevertheless, to the disposition of its Property being at all times within its
control.

4.2 Accredited Investor

     Such Purchaser or such Account Manager is knowledgeable, sophisticated and
experienced in business and financial matters; it has previously invested in
securities similar to the Notes and it acknowledges that the Notes have not been
registered under the Securities Act and understands that the Notes must be held
indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or
such sale is permitted pursuant to an available exemption from such registration
requirement; such Purchaser (or, in the case of an Account Manager, the managed
account on behalf of which the Account Manager is acting) is able to bear the
economic risk of its investment in the Notes and is presently able to afford the
complete loss of such investment; such Purchaser (or, in the case of an Account
Manager, the managed account on behalf of which the Account Manager is acting)
is an "accredited investor" as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the
Securities Act and the Notes to be acquired by it pursuant to this Agreement are
being acquired for its own account; and such Purchaser has been afforded access
to information about each of the Constituent Companies and their financial
condition and business sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment in the
Notes.

4.3 Authorization

     Each Purchaser has taken all actions necessary to authorize it (or, in the
case of an Account Manager, such Account Manager is duly authorized by the
managed account for which it is acting) (a) to execute, deliver and perform all
of its obligations under this Agreement, (b) to perform all of its obligations
under the Notes and (c) to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby. This Agreement is a legally valid and binding obligation of each
Purchaser enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except for (i)
the effect thereon of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and
other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally
and (ii) limitations imposed by Federal or state law or equitable principles
upon the specific enforceability of any of the remedies, covenants or other
provisions thereof and upon the availability of injunctive relief or other
equitable remedies.

4.4 Notes Restricted

     No transfer or sale (including, without limitation, by pledge or
hypothecation) of Notes by any Holder which is otherwise permitted hereunder,
other than a transfer or sale to the

                                       27

<PAGE>

Company, shall be effective unless such transfer or sale is made (a) pursuant to
an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and a valid
qualification under applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws or (b)
without such registration or qualification as a result of the availability of an
exemption therefrom, and, if reasonably requested by the Company, counsel for
such Holder shall have furnished the Company with an opinion, reasonably
satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, to the effect that no such
registration is required because of the availability of an exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act; provided, however, that with
respect to transfers by Holders to their Affiliates, no such opinion shall be
required. A transfer made by a Holder which is a state-sponsored employee
benefit plan to a successor trust or fiduciary pursuant to a statutory
reconstitution shall be expressly permitted and no opinions of counsel shall be
required in connection therewith.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.4. each Holder
shall be permitted to pledge the Notes held by it to a trustee for the benefit
of secured noteholders pursuant to documents relating to the financing of such
Holder.

4.5 Source of Funds

     Each of the Purchasers hereby represents and warrants to the Company that,
except as disclosed to the Company in writing, at least one of the following
statements is an accurate representation as to the source of funds to be used by
such Purchaser in connection with the financing hereunder:

     (a) no part of such funds constitutes assets allocated to any separate
account maintained by such Purchaser in which any employee benefit plan (or its
related trust) has any interest;

     (b) to the extent that any part of such funds constitutes assets allocated
to any separate account maintained by such Purchaser, such Purchaser has
disclosed to the Company the name of each employee benefit plan whose assets in
such account exceed 10% of the total assets of such account as of the date of
such purchase (and, for purposes of this subsection (b), all employee benefit
plans maintained by the same employer or employee organization are deemed to be
a single plan);

     (c) to the extent that any part of such funds constitutes assets of an
insurance company's general account, such insurance company has complied with
all of the requirements of the regulations issued under Section 401(c)(1)(A) of
ERISA;

     (d) such funds constitute assets of one or more employee benefit plans, or
a separate account or trust fund comprised of one or more employee benefit
plans, each of which such Purchaser has identified in writing to the Company; or

     (e) no part of such funds will cause the acquisition of the Notes by such
Purchaser to constitute a "prohibited transaction" within the meaning of Section
406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code that is not subject to an exemption
contained in ERISA or in the rules and regulations adopted by the U.S.
Department of Labor thereunder.

                                       28

<PAGE>

     As used in this Section 4.5, the terms "employee benefit plan" and
"separate account" shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in
Section 3 of ERISA.

hereby covenants to the Holders of outstanding Notes and agrees that it will

annum, compounded quarterly.

5.2 Financial Statements and Reports

          (5) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to the

surrendered. The Company will notify the Holders of the results of the Asset
Sale Offer on the Asset Sale Date.

5.15 Usury Laws

     No agreements, conditions, provisions or stipulations contained in this
Agreement, the Notes or any other instrument, document or agreement between the
Company and the Purchasers or default of the Company, or the exercise by the
Holders of the right to accelerate the payment of the maturity of principal and
interest, or to exercise any option whatsoever contained in this Agreement, the
Note or any other Document, or the arising of any contingency whatsoever, shall
entitle Purchasers to contract for, charge, or receive, in any event, interest
exceeding the maximum rate of interest permitted by applicable law (the "Maximum
Legal Rate"). In no event shall the Company be obligated to pay interest
exceeding such Maximum Legal Rate and all agreements, conditions or
stipulations, if any, which may in any event or contingency whatsoever operate
to bind, obligate or compel the Company to pay a rate of interest exceeding the
Maximum Legal Rate, shall be without binding force or effect, at law or in
equity, to the extent only of the excess of interest over such Maximum Legal
Rate. In the event any interest is contracted for, charged or received in excess
of the Maximum Legal Rate ("Excess Interest"), the Company acknowledges and
stipulates that any such contract, charge, or receipt shall be the result of an
accident and bona fide error, and that any Excess Interest received by the
Holders shall be applied, first, to reduce the principal then unpaid hereunder;
second, to reduce the other Obligations evidenced by this Agreement, the Notes
and the other Documents; and third, returned to Company, it being the intention
of the parties hereto not to enter at any time into a usurious or otherwise
illegal relationship. For the purpose of determining whether or not any Excess
Interest has been contracted for, charged or received by any Holder, all
interest at any time contracted for, charged or received by any Holder in
connection with this Agreement and the Notes shall be amortized, prorated,
allocated and spread in equal parts during the entire stated term of the Notes
regardless of prepayment or acceleration prior to the Maturity Date.

receive payment of the Redemption Price upon surrender to the Company of the
Notes redeemed;

     (f) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the

     On presentation and surrender of any Notes with respect to which a notice
of redemption has been given, at a place of payment specified in such notice,

Company at the applicable Redemption Price.

     If, on or prior to the Redemption Date, the Company deposits in a
segregated account or otherwise sets aside funds sufficient to pay the

7.2  Acceleration of Notes, Remedies

     Subject to the following paragraph and Section 8, if an Event of Default

7.1) occurs and is continuing, the Majority Holders by notice to the Company,
may declare the unpaid principal of and any accrued interest on all the Notes to
be due and payable (such notice being the "Acceleration Notice") and the same
shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in
clause (g), (h) or (i) of Section 7.1 occurs, such an amount shall ipso facto
become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act
on the part of any Holder. The Majority Holders by notice to the Company may
rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not
conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default have
been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become
due solely because of the acceleration.

7.3  Premium on Acceleration

     In the event of an acceleration of the Notes upon an Event of Default
occurring by reason of any willful action (or deliberate inaction) taken (or not

the premium that the Company would have had to pay if the Company had elected to
redeem the Notes and such acceleration is not rescinded or annulled, the Holders
shall be entitled to receive, in addition to any other payments to which they
may be entitled, a premium equal to the percentages of principal set forth below
if the declaration date of the acceleration occurs during the twelve month
period commencing on April 13 of the year set forth below:

     Subject to Section 8, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing,
Holders of the Notes may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of
principal or interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any
provision of the Notes or this Agreement. A delay or omission by any Holder of
any Notes in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event

                                       55

of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or
acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent
permitted by law.

7.5  Waiver of Past Defaults

     The Majority Holders by notice to the Company may waive an existing Default
or Event of Default and its consequences except a continuing Default or Event of
Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Notes.

7.6  Rights of Holders to Receive Payment

     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the right of any
Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal and interest on the Note, on or
after the respective due dates expressed in the Note, or to bring suit for the
enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be
impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder.

7.7  Undertaking for Costs

     In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this
Agreement, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party
litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the
court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to
the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant.

SECTION 8. SUBORDINATION

8.1  Notes Subordinated to Senior Indebtedness

     The Company, for itself and its successors, and each Holder, by his
acceptance of Notes, agrees that (a) the payment of the principal of and
interest on the Notes (including interest at the default rate), (b) any payment
on account of the acquisition or redemption of the Notes by the Company
including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 5.8 or 5.11, and (c) all
other payment obligations of the Company hereunder, including, without
limitation, obligations with respect to fees, expenses and indemnities is
subordinated, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Section 8, to the
prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company and that these
subordination provisions are for the benefit of the holders of Senior
Indebtedness. This Section 8 shall constitute a continuing offer to all Persons
who, in reliance upon such provisions, become holders of, or continue to hold,
Senior Indebtedness, and such provisions are made for the benefit of the holders
of Senior Indebtedness, and such holders are made obligees hereunder and any one
or more of them may enforce such provisions.

8.2  No Payment on Notes in Certain Circumstances

     (a) No payment shall be made by or on behalf of the Company on account of
the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes or to defease or
acquire any of the Notes (including repurchases of Notes pursuant to Section 5.8
or 5.11) for cash or Property, or on account of the redemption provisions of the
Notes or on account of fees, expenses or indemnities owed hereunder (other than
principal, premium, interest, fees, expenses or indemnities paid to

                                       56

<PAGE>

the Holders in the form of Junior Securities), during the period (the
"Indefinite Blockage Period") beginning on the date that the Company and the
Holders of the Notes receive written notice (a "Payment Notice") from the
holders of such Senior Indebtedness of any default in payment (a "Payment
Default") of any principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Senior
Indebtedness or any obligation owing under or in respect of Senior Indebtedness,
and ending on the earliest of (i) the date that all Senior Indebtedness is paid
in full, (ii) the date on which the Senior Indebtedness to which such Payment
Default relates is paid in full or such default is cured, and (iii) the date on
which such Payment Default is waived in writing in accordance with the
instruments governing such Senior Indebtedness by the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness.

     (b) If an event of default other than a Payment Default (an "Other
Default") with respect to any Senior Indebtedness, as such event of default is
defined in the instrument under which it is outstanding, has occurred, is
continuing and permits the holders (or any requisite percentage thereof) to
declare such Senior Indebtedness due and payable prior to the date on which it
would otherwise have become due and payable, then during the period (the
"Payment Blockage Period") commencing on the date that the Company and the
Holders receive written notice (a "Default Notice") of such Other Default and
ending on the earliest of: (i) 180 days after such date, (ii) the date, if any,
on which the Senior Indebtedness to which such default relates is paid in full
or such Other Default is cured or waived in writing in accordance with the
instruments governing such Senior Indebtedness by the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness, and (iii) the date on which the Company and the Holders of the
Notes receive from the holders of such Senior Indebtedness (or their
representative) that commenced the Payment Blockage Period written notice that
the Payment Blockage Period has been terminated, no payment shall be made by or
on behalf of the Company on account of the principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on, the Notes, or to defease or acquire any of the Notes (including
repurchases of Notes pursuant to Section 5.8 or 5.11 or any payment pursuant to
the subordination provisions of any Intercompany Note) for cash or Property, or
on account of the redemption provisions of the Notes or on account of any fees,
expenses or indemnities relating to the Notes or this Agreement (other than
principal, premium, interest, fees, expenses or indemnities paid to the Holders
in the form of Junior Securities). Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, only one Payment Blockage Period may be commenced within any
consecutive 365-day period. No event of default that existed or was continuing
with respect to the Senior Indebtedness for which a Default Notice commencing a
Payment Blockage Period was given on the date such Payment Blockage Period
commenced shall be, or be made, the basis for the commencement of any subsequent
Payment Blockage Period unless such event of default is cured or waived for a
period of not less than 90 consecutive days.

     (c) For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Standstill Period" shall mean
a period which commences on the date on which the Company receives written
notice from the Holders that an Event of Default (other than as specified in
clauses (g), (h) or (i) of Section 7.1) has occurred, is continuing and permits
the Majority Holders to declare the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes due and
payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and
payable, and ending on the earliest to occur of (i) acceleration of the Senior
Indebtedness, (ii) an Event of Default specified in clause (g), (h) or (i) of
Section 7.1, (iii) 120 days after the date such Event of Default occurs, (iv)
the date that all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full in cash, (v) the waiver or
amendment by or on behalf of the lenders under the Senior Credit Agreement of
the restrictions, during such Standstill Period, on asset sales or dispositions
by the Company or any

                                       57

<PAGE>

of the Subsidiaries of the Company so as to permit the Company or any of the
Subsidiaries of the Company to transfer or apply the net proceeds from such
asset sales or dispositions to or for the benefit of any holders of long-term
Indebtedness of the Company or the Subsidiaries of the Company other than to
repay obligations under the Senior Credit Agreement, Capitalized Lease
Obligations or purchase money Indebtedness permitted under this Agreement
secured by a Lien on such assets, (vi) the waiver or amendment, during such
Standstill Period, by or on behalf of the lenders under the Senior Credit
Agreement of the prohibition on the creation or existence of liens on Property,
revenue or assets of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries of the Company so as
to permit the creation or existence of liens (including judgment liens) securing
payment of Indebtedness of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries of the Company
which ranks pari passu with the Notes or is subordinate or junior in right of
payment to the Notes, or (vii) such time as the holders of Senior Indebtedness
consent in writing to the termination of the Standstill Period. During the
Standstill Period, such Holders shall be prohibited from accelerating the Notes
and shall be prohibited from enforcing any of their default remedies with
respect thereto (including any right to sue the Company or to file or
participate in the filing of any involuntary bankruptcy petition against the
Company) until the Standstill Period shall cease to be in effect; provided,
however, that if a Holder had initiated an enforcement or collection action
prior to the commencement of such Standstill Period at a time when such Holder
was entitled to do so, then such Holder shall not be prevented during the
Standstill Period from taking any steps with respect to such pending collection
or enforcement action as are required by law or are reasonably required to avoid
material prejudice to the rights of such Holder. Upon the termination of any
Standstill Period, then the Holders of the Notes may, at their sole election,
exercise any and all remedies (including acceleration of the maturity of the
Notes) available to them under this Agreement or applicable law; provided that
the Indefinite Blockage Period or the Payment Blockage Period, as the case may
be, shall continue for its full period notwithstanding the termination of the
Standstill Period.

     (d) In furtherance of the provisions of Section 8.1, in the event that,
notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.2, any payment or
distribution of assets on account of principal of, premium, if any, or interest
on the Notes or to defease or acquire any of the Notes (including repurchases of
Notes pursuant to Section 5.8 or 5.11 or any payment pursuant to the
subordination provisions of any Intercompany Note) for cash, Property or
securities, or on account of the redemption provisions of the Notes or on
account of fees, expenses or indemnities owed hereunder (other than principal,
premium, interest, fees, expenses or indemnities paid to the Holders in the form
of Junior Securities) shall be made by the Company and received by any Holder,
at a time when such payment or distribution was prohibited by the provisions of
this Section 8.2, then, such payment or distribution shall be received and held
in trust by such Holder for the benefit of the holders of Senior Indebtedness,
and shall be paid or delivered by such Holders to the holders of Senior
Indebtedness remaining unpaid or unprovided for or their representative or
representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to
which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been
issued, ratably according to the aggregate amounts on account of the Senior
Indebtedness held or represented by each, to the extent necessary to enable
payment in full (except as such payment otherwise shall have been provided for),
of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, after giving effect to all
concurrent payments and distributions and all provisions therefor, to or for the
holders of such Senior Indebtedness.

                                       58

<PAGE>

     The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Holders of any default
or event of default, and any cure or waiver thereof, or any acceleration under
any Senior Indebtedness or under any agreement pursuant to which Senior
Indebtedness may have been issued.

Indebtedness; and

of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes or on account of fees, expenses or

the provisions of this Section 8 are and are intended solely for the purpose of
defining the relative rights of the Holders, on the one hand, and the holders of

9.1  With Consent of Holders

     The Company with written consent of the Majority Holders, may amend this
Agreement or the Notes, provided that each Holder shall have received at least
five Business Days prior written notice of such proposed amendment. The Majority
Holders may waive compliance by the Company with any provision of this Agreement
or the Notes, provided that each Holder shall have received at least five
Business Days prior written notice of such proposed waiver. Without the consent
of each Holder affected, however, no amendment or waiver may (with respect to
any Notes held by a nonconsenting Holder of Notes):

     (a) reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an
amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the Notes;

     (b) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or
alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of Notes, reduce the
purchase price payable in connection with repurchases of the Notes pursuant to

hereof;

     (c) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any

     (d) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of or

such acceleration);

                                       61

<PAGE>

     (e) make the principal of, premium, if any, or the interest on, any Note
payable in any manner other than that stated in this Agreement and the Notes;

     (f) make any change in the provisions of this Agreement relating to waivers
of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of Notes to receive payments of
principal of, premium (if any) or interest on the Notes;

     (g) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note;

     (h) make any change to the subordination provisions of this Agreement that
adversely affect any Holder without such Holder's consent; or

     (i) make any change in the foregoing amendment and waiver provisions.

     It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section
9 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it
shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof, provided
that the actual amendment or waiver is substantially identical to the
substantive provisions that were approved.

     After an amendment or waiver under this Section 9 becomes effective, the
Company shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing
the amendment or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any
defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of
any such amendment or waiver.

     In connection with any amendment under this Section 9, the Company may
offer, but shall not be obligated to offer, to any Holder who consents to such
amendment or waiver, consideration for such Holder's consent.

9.2  Revocation and Effect of Consents

     Until an amendment or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder
is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Note or
portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder's Note,
even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such
Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to his Note or portion of
his Note by notice to the Company received before the date on which the Majority
Holders have consented (and not therefore revoked such consent) to the amendment
or waiver.

     The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the
purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment or
waiver, which record date shall be at least 30 days prior to the first
solicitation of such consent. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding
the last sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph, those persons who were
Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those
persons, shall be entitled to revoke any consent previously given, whether or
not such persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent
shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date.

                                       62

<PAGE>

     After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder
unless it makes a change described in any of clauses (a) through (i) of Section
9.1, in which case, the amendment or waiver shall bind only each Holder of a
Note who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of
a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder's Note; provided
that any such waiver shall not impair or affect the right of any Holder to
receive payment of principal of, premium (if any) and interest on a Note, on or
after the respective due dates expressed in such Note, or to bring suit for the
enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates without the
consent of such Holder. In determining whether the Holders of the required
principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver, consent or
amendment, Notes owned by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company shall be
considered as though not outstanding.

9.3  Notation on or Exchange of Notes

     If an amendment or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Company may
require the Holder of the Note to deliver it to the Company so that it may place
an appropriate notation on the Note about the changed terms and return it to the
Holder.

9.4  Payment of Expenses

     The Company agrees to pay or reimburse each Holder's out-of-pocket expenses
(including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) relating to any
amendment or modification of, or any waiver or consent under, this Agreement,
the Notes, the Registration Agreement, the Stockholders Agreement and any other
Documents.

hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees (each a "Subsidiary Guaranty")
to each Holder of a Note, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of
this Agreement, the Notes or the obligations of the Company under this Agreement
or the Notes, that: (i) the principal and premium (if any) of and interest on

Holders under this Agreement or the Notes will be promptly paid in full or
performed, all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Notes; and

of such other obligations, they will be paid in full when due or performed in
accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at maturity, by
acceleration, call for redemption, upon an Asset Sale Offer, Change of Control
or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed for whatever
reason, each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be obligated to pay the same before
failure so to pay becomes an Event of Default.

     (b) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations with
regard to this Subsidiary Guaranty shall be unconditional, irrespective of the
validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Agreement, the
absence of any action to enforce the same, any delays in obtaining or realizing
upon or failures to obtain or realize upon collateral, the recovery of any
judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other
circumstances

                                       88

<PAGE>

demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or
bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the
Company or right to require the prior disposition of the assets of the Company
to meet its obligations, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and
covenants that this Subsidiary Guaranty will not be discharged except by
complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this
Agreement.

     (c) If any Holder is required by any court or otherwise to return to either
the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, or similar
official acting in relation to either the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor,
any amount paid by either the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor to such
Holder, this Subsidiary Guaranty, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be
reinstated in full force and effect. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that it
will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in
respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all
obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that, as

Guaranty, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing
such acceleration as to the Company of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and

purpose of this Subsidiary Guaranty.

     (d) It is the intention of each Subsidiary Guarantor and the Company that
the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall be in, but not in
excess of, the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Accordingly, if the
obligations in respect of the Subsidiary Guaranty would be annulled, avoided or
subordinated to the creditors of any Subsidiary Guarantor by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a proceeding actually pending before such court as a
result of a determination both that such Subsidiary Guaranty was made without
fair consideration and that, at, the time thereof, immediately after giving
effect thereto, or at the time that any demand is made thereupon such Subsidiary
Guarantor was insolvent or unable to pay its debts as they mature or left with
an unreasonably small capital, then the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor
under such Subsidiary Guaranty shall be reduced by such an amount, if any, that
would result in the avoidance of such annulment, avoidance or subordination;
provided, however, that any reduction pursuant to this paragraph shall be made
in the smallest amount as is necessary to reach such result. For purposes of
this paragraph, "fair consideration," "insolvency," "unable to pay its debts as
they mature," "unreasonably small capital" and the effective times of
reductions, if any, required by this paragraph shall be determined in accordance
with applicable law.

Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that a notation of such Subsidiary Guaranty
substantially in the form annexed hereto as Annex A-1 shall be endorsed on each
Note and that this Agreement shall be executed on behalf

                                       89

<PAGE>

of such Subsidiary Guarantor by an Officer of such Subsidiary Guarantor by
manual or facsimile signature.

     Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that its Subsidiary Guaranty set forth in
Section 11.1 shall remain in full force and effect and apply to all the Notes
notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such
Subsidiary Guaranty.

     If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at
the time the Note on which a Subsidiary Guaranty is endorsed and issued, the
Subsidiary Guaranty shall be valid nevertheless.

     The delivery of any Note by the Company shall constitute due delivery of
the Subsidiary Guaranty set forth in this Agreement on behalf of each Subsidiary
Guarantor.

11.3 Future Subsidiary Guarantors

     (a) As soon as practicable and in any event within fifteen (15) Business
Days after any Person becomes a direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Company or
its Subsidiaries, the Company shall provide the Holders with written notice
thereof setting forth information in reasonable detail describing all of the
assets of such Person and shall (i) if such Person is a Domestic Subsidiary of
the Company or its Subsidiaries, cause such Person to execute a Subsidiary
Guaranty in the form of Annex A-1 and a Joinder Agreement; provided this clause
(i) shall not apply to Regulated Subsidiaries, and (ii) cause such Person to
deliver such other documentation as the Majority Holders may reasonably request
in connection with the foregoing, including appropriate environmental reports,
certified resolutions and other organizational and authorizing documents of such
Person and favorable opinions of counsel to such Person (which shall cover,
among other things, the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability of
the documentation referred to above), all in form, content and scope reasonably
satisfactory to the Majority Holders.

     (b) In the event any Regulated Subsidiary shall at any time no longer be a
Regulated Subsidiary or shall at any time become a guarantor of the Senior
Indebtedness, the Company shall comply with the requirements set forth in clause
(a) above with respect to such Domestic Subsidiary.

11.4 Certain Bankruptcy Events

     Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees that in the event of
the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the
Company, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall not file (or join in any filing of), or
otherwise seek to participate in the filing of, any motion or request seeking to
stay or to prohibit (even temporarily) execution on the Subsidiary Guaranty and
hereby waives and agrees not to take the benefit of any such stay of execution,
whether under Section 362 or 105 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or
otherwise.

11.5 Subordination of Subsidiary Guarantees

     Each Subsidiary Guarantor, for itself and its successors, and each Holder,
by its acceptance of its respective Notes, agrees that the obligations of the
Subsidiary Guarantors to the

                                       90

<PAGE>

Holders of Notes pursuant to the Subsidiary Guaranty and this Agreement are
expressly subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in
full of all Senior Indebtedness, to the same extent as provided in Section 8
hereof with respect to the subordination of payments on the Notes to the prior
payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness. For purposes of this Section 11,
each Subsidiary Guarantor shall have the same rights and be subject to the same
duties and obligations as the Company pursuant to Section 8.

12.11 Tax Forms

     (a) (i) Each Foreign Holder shall deliver to the Noteholder Representative
and the Company, prior to the date on which such Foreign Holder becomes a Holder
hereunder, two duly signed completed copies of either IRS Form W-8BEN or any
successor thereto (relating to such Foreign Holder and entitling it to an
exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax on all payments to be made to
such Foreign Holder by the Company pursuant to this Agreement) or IRS Form
W-8ECI or any successor thereto (relating to all payments to be made to such
Foreign Holder by the Company pursuant to this Agreement) or such other evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Noteholder Representative that
such Foreign Holder is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, United
States withholding tax, including any exemption pursuant to Section 881(c) of
the Code. Thereafter and from time to time, each such Foreign Holder shall (A)
promptly submit to the Noteholder Representative and the Company such additional
duly completed and signed copies of one of such forms (or such successor forms
as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing
authorities) as may then be available under then current United States laws and
regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is satisfactory to the Company and the
Noteholder Representative of any available exemption from or reduction of,
United States withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such
Foreign Holder by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, (B) promptly notify
the Noteholder Representative and the Company of any change in circumstances
which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (C)
take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the
reasonable judgment of such Foreign Holder, and as may be reasonably necessary
to avoid any requirement of applicable law that the Company make any deduction
or withholding for taxes from amounts payable to such Foreign Holder.

          (ii) Each Foreign Holder, to the extent it does not act or ceases to
     act for its own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or
     payable to such Foreign Holder under any of the Documents, shall deliver to
     the Noteholder Representative and the Company, on the date when such
     Foreign Holder ceases to act for its own account with respect to any
     portion of any such sums paid or payable, and at such other times as may be
     necessary in the determination of the Noteholder Representative (in the
     reasonable exercise of its discretion), (A) two duly signed completed
     copies of the forms or statements required to be provided by such Foreign
     Holder as set forth above, to establish the portion of any such sums paid
     or payable with respect to which such Foreign Holder acts for its own
     account that is not subject to United States withholding tax, and (B) two
     duly signed completed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor thereto),
     together with any information such Foreign Holder chooses to transmit with
     such form, and any other certificate or statement of exemption required
     under the Code, to establish that such Foreign Holder is not acting for its
     own account with respect to a portion of any such sums payable to such
     Foreign Holder.

          (iii) The Company shall not be required to pay any additional amount
     to any Foreign Holder under Section 5.18 (A) with respect to any Taxes
     required to be deducted or withheld on the basis of the information,
     certificates or statements of exemption such Foreign Holder transmits with
     an IRS Form W-8IMY pursuant to this Section 12.11(a) or (B) if such Foreign
     Holder shall have failed to satisfy the foregoing provisions of this
     Section 12.11(a); provided that if such Foreign Holder shall have satisfied
     the

                                       94

<PAGE>

     requirement of this Section 12.11(a) on the date such Foreign Holder became
     a Holder or ceased to act for its own account with respect to any payment
     under any of the Documents, nothing in this Section 12.11(a) shall relieve
     the Company of its obligation to pay any amounts pursuant to Section 5.18
     in the event that, as a result of any change in any applicable law or
     order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application
     thereof, such Foreign Holder is no longer properly entitled to deliver
     forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the
     fact that such Holder or other Person for the account of which such Holder
     receives any sums payable under any of the Documents is not subject to
     withholding or is subject to withholding at a reduced rate; provided,
     further, that should such Holder become subject to Taxes that are not
     required to be paid by the Company pursuant to Section 5.18 because of its
     failure to satisfy the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.11(a) the
     Company shall take steps as such Holder shall reasonably request to assist
     such Holder in recovering such Taxes.

          (iv) The Company may withhold any Taxes required to be deducted and
     withheld from any payment under any of the Documents with respect to which
     the Company is not required to pay additional amounts under Section 5.18 or
     this Section 12.11(a).

     (b) Each Holder that is a "United States person" within the meaning of
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Noteholder Representative
and the Company two duly signed completed copies of IRS Form W-9. If such Holder
fails to deliver such forms, then the Company may withhold from any interest
payment to such Holder an amount equivalent to the applicable back-up
withholding tax imposed by the Code, without reduction.

     (c) The obligation of the Holders under this Section shall survive
repayment of Notes.
