                                      LOANS

     2.1 REVOLVING LOANS.

          (a) Revolving Credit Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions
     hereof and in reliance upon the representations and warranties set forth
     herein, each of the Lenders severally agrees to lend to the Borrowers at
     any time or from time to time on or after the Closing Date and before the
     Maturity Date, such Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the
     Revolving Loans as may be requested or deemed requested by the Borrowers.

          (b) Determination of Borrowing Base.

          (i) The Lenders agree, subject to the terms and conditions of this
     Credit Agreement, from time to time, to make Revolving Loans to the
     Borrowers on a revolving basis. The aggregate principal amount outstanding
     of all Revolving Loans of World Airways, together with its Letter of Credit
     Obligations, shall not in the aggregate exceed the lesser of (A) the
     Revolving Credit Committed Amount then in effect and (B) the WA Borrowing
     Base. The aggregate principal amount outstanding of all Revolving Loans of
     North American, together with its Letter of Credit Obligations, shall not
     in the aggregate exceed the lesser of (A) the Revolving Credit Committed
     Amount then in effect and (B) the NA Borrowing Base. In addition, the
     aggregate principal amount outstanding of all Revolving Loans to all
     Borrowers, together with the Letter of Credit Obligations of all Borrowers,
     shall not in the aggregate exceed the lesser of (A) the Revolving Credit
     Committed Amount then in effect and (B) the Aggregate Borrowing Base.

          (ii) No Lender shall be obligated at any time to make available to the
     Borrowers its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any requested
     Revolving Loan if such amount plus its Revolving Credit Commitment
     Percentage of the aggregate principal amount outstanding of all Revolving
     Loans and its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of all Letter of
     Credit Obligations would exceed such Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment
     at such time. The aggregate balance of Revolving Loans and the Letter of
     Credit Obligations shall not at any time exceed the Revolving Credit
     Committed Amount. No Lender shall be obligated to make available (except
     pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.1(d)(vii), nor shall the Agent
     make available, any Revolving Loans to World Airways to the extent such
     Revolving Loan when added to World Airways' then outstanding Revolving
     Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations would cause its aggregate
     outstanding Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations to exceed the
     WA Borrowing Base. No Lender shall be obligated to make available (except
     pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.1(d)(vii), nor shall the Agent
     make available, any Revolving Loans to North American to the extent such
     Revolving Loan when added to North American's then outstanding Revolving
     Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations would cause its aggregate
     outstanding Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations to exceed the
     NA Borrowing Base. No Lender shall be obligated to make available (except
     pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.1(d)(vii), nor shall the

<PAGE>

     Agent make available, any Revolving Loans to any of the Borrowers to the
     extent such Revolving Loan when added to the then outstanding Revolving
     Loans to all Borrowers and Letter of Credit Obligations of all Borrowers
     would cause the aggregate outstanding Revolving Loans to all Borrowers and
     Letter of Credit Obligations of all Borrowers to exceed the Aggregate
     Borrowing Base. The full amount of the Revolving Loans to be disbursed on
     the Closing Date shall be disbursed as Base Rate Loans.

          (c) Revolving Notes. If so requested by a Lender (on or at any time
     after the Closing Date), the obligations of the Borrowers to repay the
     Revolving Loans to such Lender and to pay interest thereon shall be
     evidenced by a separate Revolving Note to such Lender, with appropriate
     insertions. One Revolving Note shall be issued to the order of each Lender
     that so requests a Revolving Note, and each such Revolving Note shall be in
     a principal amount equal to such Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment and
     shall represent the obligations of the Borrowers to pay such Lender the
     amount of such Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment or, if less, the
     aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans made to any
     Borrower by such Lender hereunder, plus interest accrued thereon, as set
     forth herein. The Borrowers irrevocably authorize each Lender that has been
     issued a Revolving Note to make or cause to be made appropriate notations
     on its Revolving Note, or on a record pertaining thereto, reflecting
     Revolving Loans and repayments thereof by each Borrower. The outstanding
     amount of the Revolving Loans set forth on such Lender's Revolving Note or
     record shall be prima facie evidence of the principal ----- ----- amount
     thereof owing and unpaid to such Lender, but the failure to make such
     notation or record, or any error in such notation or record shall not limit
     or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder or under any
     Revolving Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any
     Revolving Note when due. Any of the foregoing to the contrary
     notwithstanding, any lack of a Lender's request to be issued a Revolving
     Note shall not, in any manner, diminish the Borrowers' obligations to repay
     the Revolving Loans made by such Lender, together with all other amounts
     owing to such Lender by the Borrowers.

          (d) Borrowings under Revolving Notes.

          (i) Each request for borrowings hereunder shall be made by a Notice of
     Borrowing and Borrowing Base Certificate, and, if at the time of such
     request there is more than one Lender hereunder, a completed Daily Loan
     Activity Sheet, from such Borrower to the Agent given not later than 11:00
     A.M. (A) on the Business Day on which the proposed borrowing is requested
     to be made for Revolving Loans that will be Base Rate Loans or LMIR Loans
     and (B) three Business Days prior to the date of the requested borrowing of
     Revolving Loans that will be Eurodollar Loans. Each Notice of Borrowing and
     Borrowing Base Certificate shall be given by either telecopy or electronic
     mail. Each Notice of Borrowing and Borrowing Base Certificate shall be
     irrevocable by and binding on the requesting Borrower. Each Borrower shall
     be entitled to borrow Revolving Loans in a minimum principal amount of
     $50,000 and integral multiples of $10,000 in excess thereof (or the
     remaining amount of the Revolving Credit Committed Amount, if less) and
     shall be entitled to borrow Base Rate Loans, LMIR Loans or Eurodollar
     Loans, or a combination thereof, as such Borrower may request; provided,
     that no more than five (5) Eurodollar Loans for each Borrower shall be
     outstanding hereunder at any one time; and

<PAGE>

     provided, further, that Eurodollar Loans shall be in a minimum principal
     amount of at least $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess
     thereof. Revolving Loans may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with
     the provisions hereof.

               The Agent shall give to each Lender prompt notice (but in no
          event later than 2:00 P.M. on the date of the Agent's receipt of
          notice from the requesting Borrower) of each Notice of Borrowing and
          Borrowing Base Certificate by telecopy or electronic mail (other than
          any Notice of Borrowing and Borrowing Base Certificate which will be
          funded by the Agent in accordance with subsection (d)(ii) below). No
          later than 3:00 P.M. on the date on which a borrowing is requested to
          be made pursuant to the applicable Notice of Borrowing and Borrowing
          Base Certificate, each Lender will make available to the Agent at the
          address of the Agent set forth on the signature pages hereto, in
          immediately available funds, its Revolving Credit Commitment
          Percentage of such borrowing requested to be made (unless such funding
          is to be made by the Agent in accordance with subsection (d)(ii)
          below). Unless the Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior
          to the date of borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make
          available to the Agent its portion of the borrowing to be made on such
          date, the Agent may assume that such Lender will make such amount
          available to the Agent as required above and the Agent may, in
          reliance upon such assumption, make available the amount of the
          borrowing to be provided by such Lender. Upon fulfillment of the
          conditions set forth in Article V for such borrowing, the Agent will
          make such funds available to the requesting Borrower at the account
          specified by such Borrower in its Notice of Borrowing and Borrowing
          Base Certificate.

          (ii) Because the Borrowers anticipate requesting borrowings of
     Revolving Loans on a daily basis and repaying Revolving Loans on a daily
     basis through the collection of Accounts and the proceeds of other
     Collateral, resulting in the amount of outstanding Revolving Loans
     fluctuating from day to day, in order to administer the Revolving Loans in
     an efficient manner and to minimize the transfer of funds between the Agent
     and the Lenders, the Lenders hereby instruct the Agent, and the Agent may
     (but is not obligated to) (A) make available, on behalf of the Lenders, the
     full amount of all Revolving Loans requested by the requesting Borrower
     without requiring that such Borrower give the Agent a Notice of Borrowing
     and Borrowing Base Certificate with respect to such borrowing (provided
     that, if at the time of any such Borrowing there is more than one Lender,
     the requesting Borrower shall furnish to the Agent a completed Daily Loan
     Activity Sheet on each Business Day by not later than 11:00 a.m.) and
     without giving each Lender prior notice of the proposed borrowing, of such
     Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage thereof and the other
     matters covered by the Notice of Borrowing and Borrowing Base Certificate
     and (B) if the Agent has made any such amounts available as provided in
     clause (A), upon repayment of Revolving Loans by the applicable Borrower,
     apply such amounts repaid directly to the amounts made available by the
     Agent in accordance with clause (A) and not yet settled as described below;
     provided that the Agent shall not advance funds as described in clause (A)
     above if the Agent has actually received prior to such borrowing (1) an
     officer's certificate from the Parent or any Borrower pursuant to and in
     accordance with Section 7.1(j) that a

<PAGE>

     Default or Event of Default is in existence or (2) a Notice of Borrowing
     and Borrowing Base Certificate from any Borrower wherein the certification
     provided therein states that the conditions to the making of the requested
     Revolving Loans have not been satisfied or (3) a written notice from the
     Required Lenders that the conditions to such borrowing have not been
     satisfied, which officer's certificate, Notice of Borrowing and Borrowing
     Base Certificate or notice, in each case, shall not have been rescinded. If
     the Agent advances Revolving Loans on behalf of the Lenders, as provided in
     the immediately preceding sentence, the amount of outstanding Revolving
     Loans and each Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage thereof
     shall be computed weekly rather than daily and shall be adjusted upward or
     downward on the basis of the amount of outstanding Revolving Loans as of
     5:00 P.M. on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of each
     computation; provided, however, that the Agent retains the absolute right
     at any time or from time to time to make the foregoing adjustments at
     intervals more frequent than weekly. The Agent shall deliver to each of the
     Lenders after the end of each Settlement Period, a summary statement of the
     amount of outstanding Revolving Loans for such period. If the summary
     statement is sent by the Agent and received by the Lenders prior to 12:00
     Noon on any Business Day each Lender shall make the transfers described in
     the next succeeding sentence no later than 3:00 P.M. on the day such
     summary statement was sent; and if such summary statement is sent by the
     Agent and received by the Lenders after 12:00 Noon on any Business Day,
     each Lender shall make such transfers no later than 3:00 P.M. on the next
     succeeding Business Day. If in any Settlement Period, the amount of a
     Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Loans is
     in excess of the amount of Revolving Loans actually funded by such Lender,
     such Lender shall forthwith (but in no event later than the time set forth
     in the next preceding sentence) transfer to the Agent by wire transfer in
     immediately available funds the amount of such excess; and, on the other
     hand, if the amount of a Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of
     the Revolving Loans in any Settlement Period is less than the amount of
     Revolving Loans actually funded by such Lender, the Agent shall forthwith
     transfer to such Lender by wire transfer in immediately available funds the
     amount of such difference. The obligation of each of the Lenders to
     transfer such funds shall be irrevocable and unconditional and without
     recourse to or warranty by the Agent. Each of the Agent and the Lenders
     agree to mark their respective books and records at the end of each
     Settlement Period to show at all times the dollar amount of their
     respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages of the outstanding
     Revolving Loans. Because the Agent on behalf of the Lenders may be
     advancing and/or may be repaid Revolving Loans prior to the time when the
     Lenders will actually advance and/or be repaid Revolving Loans, interest
     with respect to Revolving Loans shall be allocated by the Agent to each
     Lender (including the Agent) in accordance with the amount of Revolving
     Loans actually advanced by and repaid to each Lender (including the Agent)
     during each Settlement Period and shall accrue from and including the date
     such Revolving Loans are advanced by the Agent to but excluding the date
     such Revolving Loans are repaid by the applicable Borrower in accordance
     with Section 2.3 or actually settled by the applicable Lender as described
     in this Section 2.1(d)(ii). All such Revolving Loans under this Section
     2.1(d)(ii) shall be made as Base Rate Loans.

          (iii) If the amounts described in subsection (d)(i) or (d)(ii) of this
     Section 2.1 are not in fact made available to the Agent by a Lender (such
     Lender being hereinafter

<PAGE>

     referred to as a "Defaulting Lender") and the Agent has made such amount
     available to the requesting Borrower, the Agent shall be entitled to
     recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Defaulting Lender. If
     such Defaulting Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith
     upon the Agent's demand therefor, the Agent shall promptly notify the
     Borrowers and the Borrowers shall no later than five Business Days after
     demand pay such corresponding amount to the Agent. The Agent shall also be
     entitled to recover from such Defaulting Lender and the Borrowers, (A)
     interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date
     such corresponding amount was made available by the Agent to the applicable
     Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Agent,
     at a rate per annum equal to either (1) if paid by such Defaulting Lender,
     the overnight Federal Funds Rate or (2) if paid by the applicable Borrower,
     the then applicable rate of interest, calculated in accordance with Section
     4.1, plus (B) in each case, an amount equal to any costs (including legal
     expenses) and losses incurred as a result of the failure of such Defaulting
     Lender to provide such amount as provided in this Credit Agreement. Nothing
     herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill
     its commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrowers
     may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender
     hereunder, including, without limitation, the right of the applicable
     Borrower be reimbursed by any Defaulting Lender for any amounts paid by
     such Borrower under clause (B) above on account of such Defaulting Lender's
     default.

          (iv) The failure of any Lender to make the Revolving Loan to be made
     by it as part of any borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its
     obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Revolving Loan on the date of
     such borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any
     other Lender to make the Revolving Loan to be made by such other Lender on
     the date of any borrowing.

          (v) Each Lender shall be entitled to earn interest at the then
     applicable rate of interest, calculated in accordance with Article IV, on
     outstanding Revolving Loans which it has funded to the Agent from the date
     such Lender funded such Revolving Loan to, but excluding, the date on which
     such Lender is repaid with respect to such Revolving Loan.

          (vi) [intentionally omitted]

          (vii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere
     herein, and whether or not a Default or Event of Default exists at the
     time, unless otherwise objected to by the Required Lenders in writing, the
     Agent may in its discretion require all Lenders to honor requests or deemed
     requests by any Borrower for Revolving Loans at a time that an Overadvance
     exists or which would result in an Overadvance and each Lender shall be
     obligated to continue to make its pro rata share of Revolving Loans, up to
     a maximum amount outstanding equal to its Revolving Credit Commitment, so
     long as the aggregate amount of Overadvances with respect to all Borrowers
     is not known by the Agent to exceed $5,000,000 and so long as such
     Overadvance is not outstanding for more than ten (10) Business Days.

     2.2 OPTIONAL AND MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS; REDUCTION OF REVOLVING CREDIT
COMMITTED AMOUNT.

          (a) Voluntary Prepayments. In addition to payments from collections
     pursuant to Section 2.3(b)(ii), the Borrowers shall have the right to
     prepay Loans in whole or in part from time to time, without premium or
     penalty; provided, however, that (i) Loans that are Eurodollar Loans may
     only be prepaid on three Business Days' prior written notice to the Agent
     specifying the applicable Loans to be prepaid; (ii) any prepayment of Loans
     that are Eurodollar Loans will be subject to Section 4.10; (iii) each such
     partial prepayment of Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of
     $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000. Prepayments on Revolving
     Loans shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans, then to LMIR Loans and
     then to Eurodollar Loans in direct order of Interest Period maturities.

          (b) Mandatory Prepayments.

          (i) Revolving Credit Committed Amount. As to each Borrower, if at any
     time, the sum of the aggregate principal amount of such Borrower's
     outstanding Revolving Loans plus such Borrower's Letter of Credit
     Obligations outstanding shall exceed the lesser of (A) the Revolving Credit
     Committed Amount and (B) its Borrowing Base, subject to any Overadvance
     permitted to be outstanding under Section 2.1(d)(vii), such Borrower within
     one (1) Business Day following receipt of demand shall pay to the Agent,
     for the ratable account of the Lenders, an amount sufficient to eliminate
     such excess.

          (ii) Casualty Loss. Subject to Section 7.10, to the extent a Borrower
     receives cash proceeds in connection with a Casualty Loss, such Borrower
     shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of
     such cash proceeds if the Agent shall have elected to apply the proceeds
     realized from such Casualty Loss to the prepayment of the Loans (such
     prepayment to be applied as set forth in clause (iv) below).

          (iii) Asset Dispositions. Promptly and in any event within five (5)
     Business Days following the occurrence of any Asset Disposition or upon the
     date of any renewal of any Eurodollar Loan, if later, the applicable
     Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the Net
     Cash Proceeds of the related Asset Disposition in excess of $5,000,000.
     Such prepayment shall be applied as set forth in clause (iv) below.

          (iv) Application of Mandatory Prepayments. All amounts required to be
     paid pursuant to this Section 2.2(b) shall be applied to Revolving Loans
     and (after all Revolving Loans have been repaid) to a cash collateral
     account held by the Agent in respect of Letter of Credit Obligations (in an
     amount equal to 103% of the aggregate amount thereof or of any Eurodollar
     Loan pending repayment on a date of renewal). Any excess shall be retained
     by the Credit Parties. Within the parameters of the applications set forth
     above for Revolving Loans, prepayments shall be applied first to Base Rate
     Loans, then to LMIR Loans and then to Eurodollar Loans in direct order of
     Interest

<PAGE>

     Period maturities. All prepayments under this Section 2.2(b) shall be
     subject to Section 4.10.

          (c) Voluntary Reductions of Revolving Credit Committed Amount. The
     Borrowers may from time to time permanently reduce or terminate the
     Revolving Credit Committed Amount in whole or in part (in minimum aggregate
     amounts of $5,000,000 or in integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess
     thereof (or, if less, the full remaining amount of the then applicable
     Revolving Credit Committed Amount)) upon three (3) Business Days' prior
     written notice to the Agent; provided, however, no such termination or
     reduction shall be made which would cause an Overadvance to be in effect
     for either Borrower, unless, concurrently with such termination or
     reduction, the Borrowers make a mandatory prepayment in accordance with the
     provisions of Section 2.2(b)(i). The Agent shall promptly notify each
     affected Lender of receipt by the Agent of any notice from the Borrowers
     pursuant to this Section 2.2(c).

          (d) Maturity Date. The Revolving Credit Commitment of the Lenders and
     the Letter of Credit Commitment of the Issuing Bank shall automatically
     terminate and all Obligations shall be due and payable on the Maturity
     Date.

          (e) General. The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the account of
     the Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 4.3, on the date of
     each termination or reduction of the Revolving Credit Committed Amount, the
     Unused Line Fee accrued through the date of such termination or reduction
     on the amount of the Revolving Credit Committed Amount so terminated or
     reduced.

          (f) Hedging Obligations Unaffected. Any prepayment made pursuant to
     this Section 2.2 shall not affect the Borrowers' obligation to continue to
     make payments under any Lender Hedging Agreement, which shall remain in
     full force and effect notwithstanding such prepayment, subject to the terms
     of such Lender Hedging Agreement.

     2.3 PAYMENTS AND COMPUTATIONS.

          (a) The Borrowers shall make each payment hereunder and under the
     Notes not later than 2:00 P.M. on the day when due (unless such payments
     are otherwise paid by the Agent from amounts in the Cash Concentration
     Account as provided in Section 2.3(b) below). Payments made by the
     Borrowers shall be in Dollars to the Agent at its address referred to in
     Section 14.4 in immediately available funds without deduction, withholding,
     setoff or counterclaim. Payments made with respect to the Revolving Loans
     shall be applied to repay Revolving Loans consisting of Base Rate Loans
     first, then to Revolving Loans consisting of LMIR Loans and then to
     Revolving Loans consisting of Eurodollar Loans. As soon as practicable
     after the Agent receives payment from any Borrower, but in no event later
     than one Business Day after such payment has been made, subject to Section
     2.1(d)(ii), the Agent will cause to be distributed like funds relating to
     the payment of principal, interest, or Fees (other than amounts payable to
     the Agent to reimburse the Agent and the Issuing Bank for fees and expenses
     payable solely to them pursuant to Article IV) or expenses payable to the
     Agent and the Lenders in accordance

<PAGE>

     with Section 14.7 ratably to the Lenders, and like funds relating to the
     payment of any other amounts payable to such Lender. The Borrowers'
     obligations to the Lenders with respect to such payments shall be
     discharged by making such payments to the Agent pursuant to this Section
     2.3(a) or if not timely paid or any Event of Default then exists, may be
     added to the principal amount of the Revolving Loans outstanding.

          (b) (i) Each Credit Party shall establish and shall maintain one or
     more collection accounts (each a "Collection Account") with Wachovia and
     shall instruct all account debtors (other than AMC) on the Accounts of such
     Credit Party to remit all payments to such Credit Party's Collection
     Account. All amounts received by each such Credit Party from any of its
     account debtors, in addition to all other cash received from any other
     source (including but not limited to, proceeds from asset sales and
     judgments), shall be promptly deposited into such Credit Party's Collection
     Account or into such Credit Party's Cash Concentration Account. The
     foregoing notwithstanding, the Agent may, in its sole discretion, permit
     the Credit Parties to maintain Collection Accounts with other financial
     institutions provided that each Collection Account is subject to a Deposit
     Account Control Agreement or Funds Letter Agreement, as the case may be, in
     favor of the Agent (Wachovia, along with each other financial institution
     which maintains a Collection Account, each a "Collection Bank"). Unless the
     Agent otherwise requires, no Deposit Account Control Agreement shall be
     required with respect to any Collection Account maintained with the Agent,
     so long as the Agent has "control" (as such term is used in Article 9 of
     the UCC) over such account.

          (ii) All receipts received by any Credit Party shall be remitted
     promptly to its Collection Account. All funds deposited into any Credit
     Party's Collection Account on any Business Day shall be transferred to its
     Cash Concentration Account. All funds deposited on any Business Day to a
     Borrower's Cash Concentration Account shall be applied by the Agent on the
     same Business Day as follows: (x) so long as Wachovia is the sole Lender
     hereunder, to the outstanding balance of the Revolving Loans initially
     advanced to such Borrower and accrued interest thereon and to pay any other
     outstanding Obligations of such Borrower which are then due and payable
     hereunder, and (y) if on the day of such deposit Wachovia is not the sole
     Lender hereunder, in accordance with such Borrower's instructions set forth
     in the Daily Loan Activity Sheet provided on such Business Day to reduce
     the then outstanding balance of such Borrower's Revolving Loans and to pay
     accrued interest thereon and to pay any other outstanding Obligations of
     such Borrower which are then due and payable hereunder; provided that for
     the purpose of determining the availability of Revolving Loans hereunder,
     such funds deposited into such Borrower's Cash Concentration Account shall
     be deemed to have reduced such Borrower's outstanding Revolving Loans on
     the Business Day such funds were deposited into such account. All amounts
     received directly by any Credit Party from any account debtor, in addition
     to all other cash received from any other source (including, without
     limitation, proceeds from asset sales and judgments), shall be held in
     trust by such Credit Party and promptly deposited into its Collection
     Account or, if made by wire transfer, directly to its Cash Concentration
     Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, upon the occurrence
     and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Agent may disregard
     any Borrower's instructions set forth in such Borrower's Daily Loan

<PAGE>

     Activity Sheet and shall apply funds deposited in any Cash Concentration
     Account as directed by the Required Lenders or as otherwise provided
     herein.

          (iii) All funds deposited into any Cash Concentration Account shall
     immediately become the property of the Agent, and the Credit Parties shall
     obtain the agreement by the Collection Banks to waive any offset rights
     against the funds so deposited. The Agent assumes no responsibility for the
     Collection Account arrangements, including without limitation, any claim of
     accord and satisfaction or release with respect to deposits accepted by the
     Collection Banks thereunder.

          (iv) A Credit Party may close its Collection Account only upon (a) ten
     (10) days' prior written notice to the Agent, (b) substitution of a new
     Collection Account which is subject to a Deposit Account Control Agreement
     or Funds Letter Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions set
     forth in any applicable Deposit Account Control Agreement or Funds Letter
     Agreement, as applicable. The Agent may allow, in its reasonable
     discretion, the Credit Parties to open new Collection Accounts, subject to
     such Collection Account's being subject to a Deposit Account Control
     Agreement or Funds Letter Agreement as contemplated above.

          (v) No Credit Party shall direct any account debtor (other than AMC)
     to submit payment on any Account to any location other than to such Credit
     Party's Collection Account. No collections from any Credit Party's Accounts
     (other than with respect to AMC) shall be deposited into any account other
     than to such Credit Party's Collection Account or its Cash Concentration
     Account.

          (c) Each Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender to charge from time to
     time against any or all of its accounts with such Lender any of the
     Obligations which are then due and payable by such Borrower. Each Lender
     receiving any payment as a result of charging any such account shall
     promptly notify the Agent thereof and make such arrangements as the Agent
     shall request to share the benefit thereof in accordance with Section 2.8.

          (d) Except as otherwise provided herein with respect to Eurodollar
     Loans, any payments falling due under this Credit Agreement on a day other
     than a Business Day shall be due and payable on the next succeeding
     Business Day and shall accrue interest at the applicable interest rate
     provided for in this Credit Agreement to but excluding such Business Day.
     Except as otherwise provided herein, computation of interest and fees
     hereunder shall be made on the basis of actual number of days elapsed over
     a year of 360 days. Interest on Base Rate Loans bearing interest based on
     the Prime Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 (or 366,
     if applicable) days.

     2.4 MAINTENANCE OF ACCOUNT.

     The Agent shall maintain an account on its books in the name of each
Borrower in which such Borrower will be charged with all loans and advances made
by the Lenders to such Borrower or for such Borrower's account, including such
Borrower's Revolving Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations and any other
Obligations, including any and all costs, expenses and

<PAGE>

attorney's fees which the Agent may actually incur, including, without
limitation, in connection with the exercise by or for the Lenders of any of the
rights or powers herein conferred upon the Agent (other than in connection with
any assignments or participations by any Lender) or in the prosecution or
defense of any action or proceeding by or against any Borrower or the Lenders
concerning any matter arising out of, connected with, or relating to this Credit
Agreement or the Accounts, or any Obligations owing to the Lenders by any
Borrower. The Borrowers will be credited in accordance with Section 2.3(b)(ii)
above, with all amounts received by the Lenders from the Borrowers or from
others for the Borrowers' account, including, as above set forth, all amounts
received by the Agent in payment of Accounts. In no event shall prior recourse
to any Accounts or other Collateral be a prerequisite to the Agent's right to
demand payment of any Obligation upon its maturity. Further, it is understood
that the Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to perform in any respect any
of the Borrowers' contracts or obligations relating to the Accounts.

     2.5 STATEMENT OF ACCOUNT.

     Within fifteen (15) days after the end of each month the Agent shall send
the Borrowers a statement showing the accounting for the charges, loans,
advances and other transactions occurring between the Lenders and each of the
Borrowers during that month. The monthly statements shall be deemed correct and
binding upon the Borrowers and shall constitute an account stated between each
Borrower and the Lenders unless, with respect to any Borrower, the Agent
receives a written statement of such Borrower's exceptions within thirty-three
(33) days after same is mailed to the Borrowers.

     2.6 TAXES.

          (a) All payments made by the Borrowers hereunder or under any Note
     will be, except as provided in Section 2.6(b), made free and clear of, and
     without deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies,
     imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature now
     or hereafter imposed by any Governmental Authority or by any political
     subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such
     payments (but excluding any tax imposed on or measured by the net income or
     profits (or any substitute for any such tax) of a Lender pursuant to the
     laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or the jurisdiction in
     which the principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender is
     located or any subdivision thereof or therein (the "Excluded Taxes")) and
     all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect thereto (all
     such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or
     other charges being referred to collectively as "Payment Taxes"). If any
     Payment Taxes are so levied or imposed, the Borrowers jointly and severally
     agree to pay the full amount of such Payment Taxes, and such additional
     amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under
     this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, after withholding or
     deduction for or on account of any Payment Taxes, will not be less than the
     amount provided for herein or therein. The Borrowers jointly and severally
     agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, and reimburse such Lender
     upon its written request, for the amount of any Payment Taxes so levied or
     imposed and paid by such Lender.

<PAGE>

          (b) Each Foreign Lender agrees to deliver to the Borrowers and the
     Agent on or prior to the Closing Date, or in the case of a Lender that is
     an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Credit Agreement
     pursuant to Section 14.5(c) (unless the respective Lender was already a
     Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment or transfer), on the
     date of such assignment or transfer to such Foreign Lender, two accurate
     and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8
     BEN, W-8 ECI or W-8 IMY, as applicable (or successor forms) certifying such
     Foreign Lender's entitlement to a complete exemption from United States
     withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Credit
     Agreement and under any Note. In addition, each Foreign Lender agrees that
     it will deliver updated versions of the foregoing, as applicable, whenever
     the previous certification has become obsolete or inaccurate in any
     material respect, together with such other forms as may be required in
     order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Foreign Lender to a
     continued exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax with
     respect to payments under this Agreement and any Note. Notwithstanding
     anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.6(a), but subject to the
     immediately succeeding sentence, (x) each Borrower shall be entitled, to
     the extent it is required to do so by law, to deduct or withhold Payment
     Taxes imposed by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing
     authority thereof or therein) from interest, fees or other amounts payable
     hereunder for the account of any Foreign Lender to the extent that such
     Foreign Lender has not provided to the Borrowers U.S. Internal Revenue
     Service Forms that establish a complete exemption from such deduction or
     withholding and (y) the Borrowers shall not be obligated pursuant to
     Section 2.6(a) to gross-up payments to be made to a Foreign Lender in
     respect of Payment Taxes imposed by the United States if such Foreign
     Lender has not provided to the Borrowers the Internal Revenue Service Forms
     required to be provided to the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.6(b).
     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the preceding
     sentence or elsewhere in this Section 2.6, the Borrowers jointly and
     severally agree to pay additional amounts and to indemnify each Lender in
     the manner set forth in Section 2.6(a) (without regard to the identity of
     the jurisdiction requiring the deduction or withholding) in respect of any
     amounts deducted or withheld by it as described in the immediately
     preceding sentence as a result of any changes after the Closing Date in any
     applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order,
     or in the interpretation thereof, relating to the deducting or withholding
     of Payment Taxes.

          (c) Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (including reasonable
     efforts to change its lending office) to avoid or to minimize any amounts
     which might otherwise be payable pursuant to this Section 2.6; provided,
     however, that such efforts shall not cause the imposition on such Lender of
     any additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens deemed by such Lender
     in its sole discretion to be material.

          (d) If any Borrower pays any additional amount pursuant to this
     Section 2.6 with respect to a Lender, such Lender shall use reasonable
     efforts to obtain a refund of tax or credit against its tax liabilities on
     account of such payment; provided that such Lender shall have no obligation
     to use such reasonable efforts if either (i) it is in an excess foreign tax
     credit position or (ii) it believes in its reasonable discretion, that
     claiming a refund or credit would cause adverse tax consequences to it. In
     the event that such Lender receives such a refund or credit, such Lender
     shall pay to the applicable
<PAGE>

     Borrower an amount that such Lender in the exercise of its reasonable
     discretion determines is equal to the net tax benefit obtained by such
     Lender as a result of such payment by such Borrower. In the event that no
     refund or credit is obtained with respect to such Borrower's payments to
     such Lender pursuant to this Section 2.6, then such Lender shall upon
     request provide a certification that such Lender has not received a refund
     or credit for such payments. Nothing contained in this Section 2.6 shall
     require a Lender to disclose or detail the basis of its calculation of the
     amount of any tax benefit or any other amount or the basis of its
     determination referred to in the proviso to the first sentence of this
     Section 2.6(a) to the Borrowers or any other party.

          (e) In addition, the Borrowers agree to pay any present or future
     stamp, documentary, privilege, intangible or similar Taxes or any other
     excise or property Taxes, charges or similar levies that arise at any time
     or from time to time (other than Excluded Taxes) (i) from any payment made
     under any and all Credit Documents, (ii) from the transfer of the rights of
     any Lender under any Credit Documents to any other Lender or Lenders or
     (iii) from the execution or delivery by any Borrower of, or from the filing
     or recording or maintenance of, or otherwise with respect to, any and all
     Credit Documents (hereinafter referred to as "Other Taxes").

          (f) The Borrowers will indemnify each Lender and the Agent for the
     full amount of Payment Taxes (including, without limitation and without
     duplication, any Payment Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts
     payable under this Section 2.6), subject to (i) the exclusion set out in
     the first sentence of Section 2.6(a), and (ii) the provisions of Section
     2.6(b), and will indemnify each Lender and the Agent for the full amount of
     Other Taxes (including, without limitation and without duplication, any
     Payment Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this
     Section 2.6) paid by such Lender or the Agent (on its own behalf or on
     behalf of any Lender), as the case may be, in respect of payments made or
     to be made hereunder, and any liability (including penalties, interest and
     expenses) arising solely therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not
     such Payment Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted.
     Payment of this indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days from
     the date such Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, makes written demand
     therefor.

          (g) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Payment
     Taxes or Other Taxes, the applicable Borrower shall furnish to the Agent,
     at its address referred to in Section 14.4, the original or certified copy
     of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

          (h) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the
     Borrowers hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrowers
     contained in this Section 2.6 shall survive the payment in full of all
     Obligations hereunder and under the Notes.

     2.7 SHARING OF PAYMENTS.

     If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary,
through the exercise of any right of setoff or otherwise) on account of the
Loans by it in excess of its pro rata share of such payment as provided in this
Credit Agreement or its participation in Letters of Credit in excess of its pro
rata share of its participation therein as provided for in this Credit

<PAGE>

Agreement, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such
participations in the Loans made by them or in their participation in Letters of
Credit as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess
payment accruing to all Lenders in accordance with their respective ratable
shares as provided for in this Credit Agreement; provided, however, that if all
or any portion of such excess is thereafter recovered from such purchasing
Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and each such Lender
shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such
recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender's ratable share (according
to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender's required repayment to (ii)
the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) or any interest or
other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect to the total
amount so recovered. The Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a
participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.7 may, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all of its rights of payment
(including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as
if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such
participation.

     2.8 ALLOCATION OF PAYMENTS; PRO RATA TREATMENT.

          (a) Allocation of Payments Prior to Event of Default; Payments
     Generally. Each borrowing of Revolving Loans and any reduction of the
     Revolving Credit Commitments shall be made pro rata according to the
     respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages of the Lenders. Each
     payment under this Agreement or any Note shall be applied, first, to any
     Fees then due and owing pursuant to Article IV, second, to interest then
     due and owing in respect of the Loans and, third, to principal then due and
     owing hereunder and under the Loans. Each payment on account of any Fees
     pursuant to Section Article IV shall be made pro rata in accordance with
     the respective amounts due and owing (except the Issuing Bank Fees which
     shall be payable solely to the Issuing Bank). Each payment (other than
     prepayments) by a Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the
     Loans initially advanced to such Borrower shall be allocated pro rata among
     the Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the
     Lenders' outstanding Loans. Payments made pursuant to Section 4.9 shall be
     applied in accordance with such Section. Each voluntary and mandatory
     prepayment on account of principal of the Loans shall be applied in
     accordance with Section 2.2(a) or (b), as applicable.

          (b) Allocation of Payments After Event of Default and Collateral
     Proceeds. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Credit Agreement or
     any other Credit Document to the contrary, after the occurrence and during
     the continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts collected or received
     by the Agent or any Lender on account of the Obligations (whether in an
     insolvency or bankruptcy case or proceeding or otherwise) or any other
     amounts outstanding under any of the Credit Documents or in respect of the
     Collateral shall be paid over or delivered as follows:

               FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and
          expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees
          actually incurred) of the Agent in connection with enforcing the
          rights of the Lenders under the Credit

<PAGE>

          Documents, any protective advances made by the Agent with respect to
          the Collateral under or pursuant to the terms of the Security
          Documents;

               SECOND, to payment of any fees owed to the Agent or an Issuing
          Bank hereunder or under any other Credit Document;

               THIRD, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and
          expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees
          actually incurred) of each of the Lenders in connection with enforcing
          its rights under the Credit Documents;

               FOURTH, to the payment of all Obligations consisting of accrued
          fees and interest payable to the Lenders hereunder, and including with
          respect to any Lender Hedging Agreement, to the extent such Lender
          Hedging Agreement is permitted by this Agreement, any fees, premiums
          and scheduled periodic payments due under such Lender Hedging
          Agreement and any interest accrued thereon;

               FIFTH, to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the
          Loans and to the payment or cash collateralization of the outstanding
          Letters of Credit Obligations (in an amount equal to 103% of the
          aggregate amount thereof), pro rata, as set forth below and including
          with respect to any Lender Hedging Agreement, to the extent such
          Lender Hedging Agreement is permitted by this Agreement, any breakage,
          termination or other payments due under such Lender Hedging Agreement
          and any interest accrued on such payments;

               SIXTH, to all liabilities and obligations now or hereafter
          arising from or in connection with any Bank Products;

               SEVENTH, to all other Obligations which shall have become due and
          payable under the Credit Documents and not repaid pursuant to clauses
          "FIRST" through "SIXTH" above; and

               EIGHTH, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to whoever may be
          lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

     In carrying out the foregoing, (a) amounts received shall be applied (x)
without regard to whether any such amount obtained from any one Borrower is
applied with respect to amounts initially advanced to another Borrower and (y)
in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to application to the next
succeeding category; (b) each of the Lenders shall receive an amount equal to
its pro rata share (based on the proportion that its then outstanding Revolving
Loans, Letters of Credit Obligations and obligations outstanding under the
Lender Hedging Agreements permitted by this Agreement bears to the aggregate
then outstanding Revolving Loans, Letters of Credit Obligations, and obligations
outstanding under the Lender Hedging Agreements) of amounts available to be
applied pursuant to clauses "THIRD", "FOURTH," "FIFTH," "SIXTH", and "SEVENTH"
above; (c) to the extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to
clause "FIFTH" above are attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of
outstanding Letters of Credit, such amounts shall be held by the Agent in a cash
collateral

<PAGE>

account (which account shall be an interest bearing checking account) and
applied (x) first, to reimburse the Issuing Bank from time to time for any
drawings under such Letters of Credit and (y) then, following the expiration of
all Letters of Credit, to all other obligations of the types described in clause
"SEVENTH" above in the manner provided in this Section 2.8 and in the Security
Documents.

     2.9 EXTENSIONS AND CONVERSIONS.

     Subject to the terms of Article V, each Borrower shall have the option, on
any Business Day, to extend such Borrower's existing Eurodollar Loans into a
subsequent permissible Interest Period, to convert Base Rate Loans into
Eurodollar Loans, to convert Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans, to convert
Base Rate Loans into LMIR Loans, to convert LMIR Loans into Base Rate Loans, to
convert LMIR Loans to Eurodollar Loans, or to convert Eurodollar Loans into LMIR
Loans; provided, however, that (i) except as provided in Section 4.10,
Eurodollar Loans may be converted into Base Rate Loans or LMIR Loans only on the
last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) Eurodollar Loans may be
extended, and Base Rate Loans or LMIR Loans may be converted into Eurodollar
Loans, only if no Default or Event of Default is in existence on the date of
extension or conversion, (iii) Loans extended as, or converted into, Eurodollar
Loans shall be subject to the terms of the definition of "Interest Period" and
shall be in such minimum amounts as provided in with respect to Revolving Loans,
Section 2.1(d)(i), and (iv) no more than five (5) separate Eurodollar Loans for
each Borrower shall be outstanding hereunder at any time. Each such extension or
conversion shall be effected by the applicable Borrower by giving a written
Notice of Extension/Conversion (or telephone notice promptly confirmed in
writing) to the Agent prior to 11:00 A.M. on the Business Day of, in the case of
the conversion of a Eurodollar Loan into a Base Rate Loan or LMIR Loan, and on
the third Business Day prior to, in the case of the extension of a Eurodollar
Loan as, or conversion of a Base Rate Loan or LMIR Loan into a Eurodollar Loan,
the date of the proposed extension or conversion, specifying the date of the
proposed extension or conversion, the Loans to be so extended or converted, the
types of Loans into which such Loans are to be converted and, if appropriate,
the applicable Interest Periods with respect thereto. Each request for extension
or conversion shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrowers of
the matters specified in Article V. In the event a Borrower fails to request
extension or conversion of any of such Borrower's Eurodollar Loans in accordance
with this Section, or any such conversion or extension is not permitted or
required by this Section, then such Loan shall be automatically converted into a
Base Rate Loan at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. The Agent
shall give each Lender notice as promptly as practicable of any such proposed
extension or conversion affecting any Loan.

     2.10 REPLACEMENT OF LENDERS.

     The Borrowers shall be permitted to replace with a replacement financial
institution satisfactory to the Agent (a) any Lender that requests reimbursement
for amounts owing or payments of additional amounts pursuant to Section 2.6, 4.7
or 4.9; (b) any Defaulting Lender; or (c) any Lender (other than Wachovia Bank,
National Association) that fails to consent to any proposed amendment,
modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any provision
hereof or of any other Credit Document that requires the unanimous approval of
all of the Lenders,  the approval of all of the Lenders affected thereby or the
approval of a class of Lenders,

<PAGE>

in each case in accordance with the terms of Section 14.9, so long as the
consent of the Required Lenders shall have been obtained with respect to such
amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent; provided that (i) such
replacement does not conflict with any applicable law, treaty, rule or
regulation or determination of an arbitrator or a court or other Governmental
Authority, (ii) except with respect to clause (c) above, no Event of Default
shall exist at the time of such replacement, (iii) the replacement financial
institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such
replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (iv) with respect to
clause (c) above, the replacement financial institution shall approve the
proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent, (v) the
Borrowers shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 4.10 if any
Eurodollar Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on
the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (vi) the replaced Lender
shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of
Section 14.5(c) (provided that the Borrowers shall be obligated to pay the
registration and processing fee referred to therein), (vii) until such time as
such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrowers shall pay to the replaced
Lender all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.6, 4.7 or
4.9, as the case may be, (viii) in the case of clause (c) above, the Borrowers
provide at least three (3) Business Days' prior notice to such replaced Lender,
and (ix) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights
that the Borrowers, the Agent or any other Lender shall have against the
replaced Lender. In the event any replaced Lender fails to execute the
agreements required under Section 14.5 in connection with an assignment pursuant
to this Section 2.10, the Borrowers may, upon two (2) Business Days' prior
notice to such replaced Lender, execute such agreements on behalf of such
replaced Lender, and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Borrowers to
do so on its behalf. A Lender shall not be required to be replaced if, prior
thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances
entitling the Borrowers to require such replacement cease to apply.

                                  ARTICLE III

                                LETTERS OF CREDIT

     3.1 ISSUANCE.

     Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and of the Letter of Credit
Documents, if any, and any other terms and conditions which the Issuing Bank may
reasonably require, the Lenders will participate in the issuance by the Issuing
Bank from time to time of such Letters of Credit in Dollars from the Closing
Date until the Maturity Date as each Borrower may request, in a form acceptable
to the Issuing Bank; provided, however, that, as to all Borrowers, (a) all of
the Letter of Credit Obligations outstanding shall not at any time exceed the
Letter of Credit Committed Amount and (b) the sum of the aggregate principal
amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans plus all Letter of Credit Obligations
outstanding shall not at any time exceed the lesser of (i) the Revolving Credit
Committed Amount and (ii) the Aggregate Borrowing Base; provided further, that
(A) as to World Airways, the sum of the aggregate principal amount of World
Airways' outstanding Revolving Loans plus its Letter of Credit Obligations
outstanding shall not at any time exceed the lesser of (1) the Revolving Credit
Committed Amount and (2) the WA Borrowing Base and (B) as to North American, the
sum of the aggregate principal amount of

<PAGE>

North American's outstanding Revolving Loans plus its Letter of Credit
Obligations outstanding shall not at any time exceed the lesser of (1) the
Revolving Credit Committed Amount and (2) the NA Borrowing Base. No Letter of
Credit shall, as originally issued or as extended, have an expiry date extending
beyond the Maturity Date; provided however, notwithstanding the forgoing, a
Letter of Credit may have an expiry date beyond the Maturity Date, if (i) the
Borrower shall surrender such Letter of Credit on the Maturity Date, or (ii)
deposit with the Agent cash collateral in the amount equal to 105% of the Letter
of Credit Obligations, to be held by the Agent until all of the Credit and
Collateral Termination Events have occurred. Each Letter of Credit shall comply
with the related Letter of Credit Documents. The issuance and expiry date of
each Letter of Credit shall comply with the related Letter of Credit Documents.
The issuance and expiry date of each Letter of Credit shall be a Business Day.
The Existing Letters of Credit issued by Wachovia shall be deemed to have been
issued hereunder on the Closing Date, and no request for issuance thereof need
be made.

     3.2 NOTICE AND REPORTS.

     The request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be submitted by
the requesting Borrower to the Issuing Bank at least three (3) Business Days
prior to the requested date of issuance. The Issuing Bank will, upon request,
disseminate to each of the Lenders a detailed report specifying the Letters of
Credit which are then issued and outstanding and any activity with respect
thereto which may have occurred since the date of the prior report, and
including therein, among other things, the beneficiary, the face amount and the
expiry date as well as any payment or expirations which may have occurred.

     3.3 PARTICIPATION.

     Each Lender, upon issuance of a Letter of Credit, shall be deemed to have
purchased without recourse a risk participation from the Issuing Bank in such
Letter of Credit and the obligations arising thereunder, in each case in an
amount equal to its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Letter of
Credit, and shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as primary
obligor and not as surety, and be obligated to pay to the Issuing Bank therefor
and discharge when due, its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the
obligations arising under such Letter of Credit. Without limiting the scope and
nature of each Lender's participation in any Letter of Credit, to the extent
that the Issuing Bank has not been reimbursed as required hereunder or under any
such Letter of Credit, each such Lender shall pay to the Issuing Bank its
Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such unreimbursed drawing pursuant to
the provisions of Section 3.4. The obligation of each Lender to so reimburse the
Issuing Bank shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by
the occurrence of a Default, an Event of Default or any other occurrence or
event. Any such reimbursement shall not relieve or otherwise impair the
obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the Issuing Bank under any Letter of
Credit, together with interest as hereinafter provided.

     3.4 REIMBURSEMENT.

     In the event of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank
will promptly notify the applicable Borrower. Unless the applicable Borrower
shall promptly notify the Issuing Bank that such Borrower intends to otherwise
reimburse the Issuing Bank for such drawing, such

<PAGE>

Borrower shall be deemed to have requested that the Lenders make a Revolving
Loan in the amount of the drawing as provided in Section 3.5 on the related
Letter of Credit, the proceeds of which will be used to satisfy the related
reimbursement obligations. Each Borrower promises to reimburse the Issuing Bank
on the day of drawing under any of its Letters of Credit (either with the
proceeds of a Revolving Loan obtained hereunder or otherwise) in same day funds.
If such Borrower shall fail to reimburse the Issuing Bank as provided
hereinabove, the unreimbursed amount of such drawing shall bear interest at a
per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the sum of (i) the Applicable
Percentage for Base Rate Loans and (ii) two percent (2%). Each Borrower's
reimbursement obligations hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under
all circumstances irrespective of any rights of setoff, counterclaim or defense
to payment such Borrower may claim or have against the Issuing Bank, the Agent,
the Lenders, the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit drawn upon or any other
Person, including without limitation any defense based on any failure of such
Borrower to receive consideration or the legality, validity, regularity or
unenforceability of the Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank will promptly notify
the other Lenders of the amount of any unreimbursed drawing and each Lender
shall promptly pay to the Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank in Dollars
and in immediately available funds, the amount of such Lender's Revolving Credit
Commitment Percentage of such unreimbursed drawing. Such payment shall be made
on the Business Day such notice is received by such Lender from the Issuing Bank
if such notice is received at or before 2:00 P.M. otherwise such payment shall
be made at or before 12:00 Noon on the Business Day next succeeding the day such
notice is received. If such Lender does not pay such amount to the Issuing Bank
in full upon such request, such Lender shall, on demand, pay to the Agent for
the account of the Issuing Bank interest on the unpaid amount during the period
from the date of such drawing until such Lender pays such amount to the Issuing
Bank in full at a rate per annum equal to, if paid within two (2) Business Days
of the date that such Lender is required to make payments of such amount
pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Federal Funds Rate and thereafter at a
rate equal to the Base Rate. Each Lender's obligation to make such payment to
the Issuing Bank, and the right of the Issuing Bank to receive the same, shall
be absolute and unconditional, shall not be affected by any circumstance
whatsoever and without regard to the termination of this Credit Agreement or the
Commitments hereunder, the existence of a Default or Event of Default or the
acceleration of the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder and shall be made
without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.
Simultaneously with the making of each such payment by a Lender to the Issuing
Bank, such Lender shall, automatically and without any further action on the
part of the Issuing Bank or such Lender, acquire a participation in an amount
equal to such payment (excluding the portion of such payment constituting
interest owing to the Issuing Bank) in the related unreimbursed drawing portion
of the Letter of Credit Obligation and in the interest thereon and in the
related Letter of Credit Documents, and shall have a claim against the Borrowers
with respect thereto.

     3.5 REPAYMENT WITH REVOLVING LOANS.

     On any day on which any Borrower shall have requested, or been deemed to
have requested, a Revolving Loan advance to reimburse a drawing under a Letter
of Credit, the Agent shall give notice to the Lenders that a Revolving Loan has
been requested or deemed requested by such Borrower to be made in connection
with a drawing under a Letter of Credit, in which case a Revolving Loan advance
comprised of Base Rate Loans or LMIR Loans (or Eurodollar Loans to the extent
such Borrower has complied with the procedures of Section 2.1(d)(i) with

<PAGE>

respect thereto) shall be immediately made to such Borrower by all Lenders
(notwithstanding any termination of the Commitments pursuant to Section 11.2)
pro rata based on the respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages of the
Lenders (determined before giving effect to any termination of the Commitments
pursuant to Section 11.2) and the proceeds thereof shall be paid directly by the
Agent to the Issuing Bank for application to the respective Letter of Credit
Obligations. Each such Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make its Revolving
Credit Commitment Percentage of each such Revolving Loan immediately upon any
such request or deemed request in the amount, in the manner and on the date
specified in the preceding sentence notwithstanding (i) the amount of such
borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount for advances of Revolving Loans
otherwise required hereunder, (ii) whether any conditions specified in Article V
are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists,
(iv) failure for any such request or deemed request for Revolving Loan to be
made by the time otherwise required hereunder, (v) whether the date of such
borrowing is a date on which Revolving Loans are otherwise permitted to be made
hereunder or (vi) any termination of the Commitments relating thereto
immediately prior to or contemporaneously with such borrowing. In the event that
any Revolving Loan cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required
above (including, without limitation, as a result of the commencement of a
bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding with respect to any Borrower), then
each such Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date
such borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payments
received from the Borrowers on or after such date and prior to such purchase)
from the Issuing Bank such participation in the outstanding Letter of Credit
Obligations as shall be necessary to cause each such Lender to share in such
Letter of Credit Obligations ratably (based upon the respective Revolving Credit
Commitment Percentages of the Lenders (determined before giving effect to any
termination of the Commitments pursuant to Section 11.2)), provided that at the
time any purchase of participation pursuant to this sentence is actually made,
the purchasing Lender shall be required to pay to the Issuing Bank, to the
extent not paid to the Issuing Bank by the applicable Borrower in accordance
with the terms of Section 3.4, interest on the principal amount of participation
purchased for each day from and including the day upon which such borrowing
would otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such
participation, at the rate equal to, if paid within two (2) Business Days of the
date of the Revolving Loan advance, the Federal Funds Rate, and thereafter at a
rate equal to the Base Rate.

     3.6 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.]

     3.7 UNIFORM CUSTOMS AND PRACTICES.

     The Issuing Bank may provide that the Letters of Credit shall be subject to
the UCP, in which case the UCP may be incorporated by reference therein and
deemed in all respects to be a part thereof.

     3.8 INDEMNIFICATION; NATURE OF ISSUING BANK'S DUTIES.

          (a) In addition to their other obligations under this Article III, the
     Borrowers agree to protect, indemnify, pay and save the Issuing Bank
     harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities,
     damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable
     attorneys' fees) that the Issuing Bank may incur or be subject to as

<PAGE>

     a consequence, direct or indirect, of (A) the issuance of any Letter of
     Credit or (B) the failure of the Issuing Bank to honor a drawing under a
     Letter of Credit as a result of Government Acts.

          (b) As between the Borrowers and the Issuing Bank, the Borrowers shall
     assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuse of any Letter of Credit
     by the beneficiary thereof. The Issuing Bank shall not be responsible: (i)
     for the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect
     of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application
     for and issuance of any Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove
     to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent
     or forged; (ii) for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument
     transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of
     Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole
     or in part, that may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason;
     (iii) for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or
     delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise,
     whether or not they be in cipher; (iv) for any loss or delay in the
     transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a
     drawing under a Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; and (v) for
     any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing
     Bank, including, without limitation, any Government Acts. None of the above
     shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of the Issuing Bank's rights
     or powers hereunder.

          (c) In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific
     provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by the
     Issuing Bank, under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the
     related certificates, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put such
     Issuing Bank under any resulting liability to any Borrower. It is the
     intention of the parties that this Credit Agreement shall be construed and
     applied to protect and indemnify the Issuing Bank against any and all risks
     involved in the issuance of the Letters of Credit, all of which risks are
     hereby assumed by the Borrowers, including, without limitation, any and all
     Government Acts. The Issuing Bank shall not, in any way, be liable for any
     failure by the Issuing Bank or anyone else to pay any drawing under any
     Letter of Credit as a result of any Government Acts or any other cause
     beyond the control of the Issuing Bank.

          (d) Nothing in this Section 3.8 is intended to limit the reimbursement
     obligations of the Borrowers contained in Section 3.4. The obligations of
     the Borrowers under this Section 3.8 shall survive the termination of this
     Credit Agreement. No act or omission of any current or prior beneficiary of
     a Letter of Credit shall in any way affect or impair the rights of the
     Issuing Bank to enforce any right, power or benefit under this Credit
     Agreement.

          (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in
     this Section 3.8, the Borrowers shall have no obligation to indemnify the
     Issuing Bank in respect of any liability incurred by the Issuing Bank (i)
     arising solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
     Issuing Bank, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, or (ii)
     caused by the Issuing Bank's failure to pay under any Letter of Credit
     after presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and

<PAGE>

     conditions of such Letter of Credit, as determined by a court of competent
     jurisdiction, unless such payment is prohibited by any law, regulation,
     court order or decree.

     3.9 RESPONSIBILITY OF ISSUING BANK.

     It is expressly understood and agreed that the obligations of the Issuing
Bank hereunder to the Lenders are only those expressly set forth in this Credit
Agreement and that the Issuing Bank shall be entitled to assume that the
conditions precedent set forth in Article III or V have been satisfied unless it
shall have acquired actual knowledge that any such condition precedent has not
been satisfied; provided, however, that nothing set forth in this Article III
shall be deemed to prejudice the right of any Lender to recover from the Issuing
Bank any amounts made available by such Lender to the Issuing Bank pursuant to
this Article III in the event that it is determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction that the payment with respect to a Letter of Credit constituted
gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank.

     3.10 CONFLICT WITH LETTER OF CREDIT DOCUMENTS.

     In the event of any conflict between this Credit Agreement and any Letter
of Credit Document (including any letter of credit application), this Credit
Agreement shall control.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                                INTEREST AND FEES

     4.1 INTEREST ON LOANS.

          (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 4.2, the Loans shall bear
     interest as follows:

          (i) Base Rate Loans. During such periods as the Loans shall be
     comprised of Base Rate Loans, each such Base Rate Loan shall bear interest
     at a per annum rate equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable
     Percentage;

          (ii) LMIR Loans. During such periods as the Loans shall be comprised
     of LMIR Loans, each such LMIR Loan shall bear interest at a per annum rate
     equal to the sum of the LMIR Rate plus the Applicable Percentage; and

          (iii) Eurodollar Loans. During such periods as the Loans shall be
     comprised of Eurodollar Loans, each such Eurodollar Loan shall bear
     interest at a per annum rate equal to the sum of the Eurodollar Rate plus
     the Applicable Percentage.

          (b) Any other term or provision hereof to the contrary
     notwithstanding, all Daily Rate Loans of a Borrower shall bear interest at
     the same rate, meaning, for example, that all Daily Rate Loans for such
     Borrower shall, at any given time, be either Base Rate Loans or LMIR Loans.
     Any request by a Borrower for the making of a Daily Rate Loan at a rate of
     interest which is different than the rate of interest of the

<PAGE>

     outstanding Daily Rate Loans of such Borrower bear shall be deemed to be a
     request made pursuant to Section 2.9 to convert all outstanding Daily Rate
     Loans to the requested rate of interest.

          (c) Interest on the Loans shall be payable in arrears on each Interest
     Payment Date.

     4.2 INTEREST AFTER EVENT OF DEFAULT.

          (a) If any Event of Default under Section 11.1(f) shall have occurred
     and be continuing, the Borrowers shall pay interest on the principal amount
     of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at the Default Rate.

          (b) Upon the request of the Agent or the Required Lenders, while any
     other Event of Default exists, (i) the Borrowers shall pay interest on the
     principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at the Default
     Rate and (ii) all Letter of Credit Fees and other fees payable pursuant to
     Section 4.5 shall accrue at a per annum rate 2% greater than the rate which
     would otherwise be applicable.

     Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past
due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

     4.3 UNUSED LINE FEE.

     At the end of each fiscal quarter the Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for
the benefit of the Lenders the Unused Line Fee due in respect of such calendar
quarter.

     4.4 LENDERS' FEES.

     On the Closing Date the Borrowers shall pay to each Lender the Lenders'
Fees.

     4.5 LETTER OF CREDIT FEES.

          (a) Letter of Credit Fee. In consideration of the issuance of Letters
     of Credit hereunder, the Borrowers promise to pay to the Agent for the
     account of each Lender a fee (the "Letter of Credit Fee") on such Lender's
     Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the average daily maximum amount
     available to be drawn under each such Letter of Credit computed at a per
     annum rate for each day from the date of issuance (or the Closing Date, as
     to the Existing Letters of Credit issued by Wachovia) to the date of
     expiration equal to (i) 1.25% for the first $10,000,000 of outstanding
     Letters of Credit, (ii) 1.75% for Letters of Credit amounts outstanding in
     excess of $10,000,000, to the extent of such excess, and (iii),
     notwithstanding anything in subsection (i) or (ii) above to the contrary,
     0.75% for all cash-collateralized outstanding Letters of Credit, to the
     extent of such cash-collateralization. The Letter of Credit Fee will be
     payable monthly in arrears on the last day of each calendar month.

          (b) Issuing Bank Fees. In addition to the Letter of Credit Fee payable
     pursuant to clause (a) above, at any time there is more than one Lender
     hereunder, each

<PAGE>

     of the Borrowers promises to pay to the Issuing Bank for its own account
     without sharing by the other Lenders letter of credit fronting and
     negotiation fees in the amount of 0.125% of the amount of each such Letter
     of Credit requested by a Borrower and the customary charges from time to
     time of the Issuing Bank with respect to the issuance, amendment, transfer,
     administration, cancellation and conversion of, and drawings under, each
     such Letter of Credit (collectively, the "Issuing Bank Fees").

     4.6 AUTHORIZATION TO CHARGE ACCOUNT.

     The Borrowers hereby authorize the Agent to charge any of the Borrowers'
accounts or the Borrowers' Revolving Loan accounts with the amount of all
payments and fees due hereunder to the Lenders, the Agent and the Issuing Bank
as and when such payments become due. The Borrowers confirm that any charges
which the Agent may so make to the Borrowers' Revolving Loan accounts or such
other accounts as herein provided will be made as an accommodation to the
Borrowers and solely at the Agent's discretion. The Agent shall provide the
Borrowers with notice of any such charges.

     4.7 INDEMNIFICATION IN CERTAIN EVENTS.

     If after the Closing Date, either (a) any change in or in the
interpretation of any law or regulation is introduced, including, without
limitation, with respect to reserve requirements, applicable to any Funding Bank
or any of the Lenders, or (b) a Funding Bank or any of the Lenders complies with
any future guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental
Authority or (c) a Funding Bank or any of the Lenders determines that the
adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy,
or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration
thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged
with the interpretation or administration thereof has or would have the effect
described below, or a Funding Bank or any of the Lenders complies with any
request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force
of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, and in the
case of any event set forth in this clause (c), such adoption, change or
compliance has or would have the direct or indirect effect of reducing the rate
of return on any of the Lenders' capital as a consequence of its obligations
hereunder to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for
such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the Funding
Bank's or Lenders' policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount
deemed by such Lender to be material, and the result of any of the foregoing
events described in clauses (a), (b) or (c) is or results in an increase in the
cost to any of the Lenders of funding or maintaining the Revolving Credit
Committed Amount, the Revolving Loans, or the Letters of Credit, then the
Borrowers shall from time to time upon demand by the Agent, pay to the Agent
additional amounts sufficient to indemnify the Lenders against such increased
cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost shall be submitted
to the Borrowers by the Agent and shall be conclusive and binding absent
manifest error. Notwithstanding anything in the above to the contrary, the
Borrowers shall not be required to indemnify the Lenders under this Section 4.7
for events occurring more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the
Agent's demand for any such additional amount.

<PAGE>

     4.8 INABILITY TO DETERMINE INTEREST RATE.

     If prior to the first day of any Interest Period, (a) the Agent shall have
determined in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive and binding
upon the Borrowers) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant
market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the
Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, (b) the Agent has received notice from
the Required Lenders that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for
such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such
Lenders of making or maintaining their Eurodollar Loans during such Interest
Period, or (c) Dollar deposits in the principal amounts of the Eurodollar Loans
to which such Interest Period is to be applicable are not generally available in
the London interbank market, the Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice
thereof to the Borrowers and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter, and
will also give prompt written notice to the Borrowers when such conditions no
longer exist. If such notice is given (i) any Eurodollar Loans requested to be
made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Base Rate Loans,
(ii) any Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such
Interest Period to or continued as Eurodollar Loans shall be converted to or
continued as Base Rate Loans and (iii) each outstanding Eurodollar Loan shall be
converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period thereof, to Base
Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Agent, no further
Eurodollar Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrowers
have the right to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans.

     4.9 ILLEGALITY.

     Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any
change in any law, treaty, rule or regulation or final, non-appealable
determination of an arbitrator or a court or other Governmental Authority or in
the interpretation or application thereof occurring after the Closing Date shall
make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as
contemplated by this Credit Agreement, (a) such Lender shall promptly give
written notice of such circumstances to the Borrowers and the Agent (which
notice shall be withdrawn whenever such circumstances no longer exist), (b) the
commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue
Eurodollar Loans as such and convert a Base Rate Loan to Eurodollar Loans shall
forthwith be canceled and, until such time as it shall no longer be unlawful for
such Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans, such Lender shall then have a
commitment only to make a Base Rate Loan when a Eurodollar Loan is requested and
(c) such Lender's Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be
converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the respective last days of the
then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier
period as required by law. If any such conversion of a Eurodollar Loan occurs on
a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect
thereto, the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be
required pursuant to Section 4.10.

     4.10 FUNDING INDEMNITY.

     The Borrowers, jointly and severally, promise to indemnify each Lender and
to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may
sustain or incur (other than through such Lender's gross negligence or willful
misconduct) as a consequence of (a) default by any Borrower in making a
borrowing of, conversion into or extension of Eurodollar Loans after

<PAGE>

such Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the
provisions of this Credit Agreement, (b) default by any Borrower in making any
prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan after such Borrower has given a notice thereof
in accordance with the provisions of this Credit Agreement, and (c) the making
of a prepayment of Eurodollar Loans on a day which is not the last day of an
Interest Period with respect thereto. With respect to Eurodollar Loans, such

under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (ii) has the power and
authority to own its properties and assets and to transact the businesses in

therein, free and clear of any and all Liens in favor of third parties, except
Permitted Liens. The Credit Parties will at their expense warrant, until payment
in full of the Obligations and termination of the Commitments, and, at the
Agent's request, defend the Collateral from any and all Liens (other than
Permitted Liens) of any third party. The Credit Parties will not grant, create
or permit to exist, any Lien upon the Collateral, or any proceeds thereof, in
favor of any third party (other than Permitted Liens).

the Credit Parties of each of the other Credit Documents executed and delivered
in connection herewith and the performance of the obligations of such Credit
Party hereunder and thereunder, as applicable, and the consummation by such
Credit Party of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby: (i) are within
the corporate or other organizational, as the case may be, powers of such Credit
Party; (ii) are duly authorized by the Board of Directors or similar managing
body of such Credit Party; (iii) are not in contravention of the terms of the

Party is a party or to its knowledge by which such Credit Party or any of its
properties are bound; (iv) do not require the consent, registration or approval
of any Governmental Authority or any other Person (except such as have been or
may be duly obtained, made or given from time to time, and are in full force and
effect); (v) do not contravene in any material respect any statute, law,
ordinance regulation, rule, order or other governmental restriction applicable

imposition of any Liens upon any property of such Credit Party under any
existing indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan or credit agreement or other
material agreement or instrument to which such Credit Party is a party or to its
knowledge by which it or any of its property may be bound or affected.

respect to those Credit Documents executed and delivered by any other
Subsidiary, of each such other Subsidiary, and are enforceable against such
Credit Party and such other Subsidiaries, as the case may be, in accordance with

     accurately setting forth the available Borrowing Base for all purposes of
     this Credit Agreement until such time as any new Borrowing Base Certificate
     is delivered to the Agent in accordance herewith; Borrowing Base
     Certificates may be prepared and submitted to the Lenders on a more
     frequent basis than monthly, provided that such certificate complies with
     the requirements set forth elsewhere herein;

          (f) promptly upon receipt thereof, copies of all management letters

     of any financial statements and reports sent by the Parent to its
     stockholders, unless such statements and reports have also been filed with

     all such notices by telecopy);

     becomes aware of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, a
     certificate of a Responsible Officer specifying the nature thereof and the

     Subsidiaries, as the Agent may reasonably require, including without

     describing the Collateral pledged to the Lenders hereunder. The Parent's or
     any other Credit Party's failure, however, to promptly give the Agent such
     statements or schedules shall not affect, diminish, modify or otherwise
     limit the Lenders' security interests in the Collateral; and

          (m) with reasonable promptness, such other data as the Agent or any of
     the Lenders may reasonably request.

     7.2 INVENTORY; SPARE PARTS.

          (a) unless the Agent shall have otherwise received a Spare Parts
     Appraisal pursuant to section (b) below for the applicable month, within
     thirty (30) days after the end of each month, upon the request of the Agent

     reasonable detail as requested by the Agent.

          (b) the Credit Parties shall assist the independent third party
     appraiser who will, within twenty-five (25) days after the end of each

expense, the following information at the times specified below:

     contribution obligations made to previously existing Plans) or the
     commencement of contributions to any Plan to which any Credit Party or any
     of its Subsidiaries or ERISA Affiliates was not previously contributing
     which contributions represent an added, material contribution obligation of
     such party (after taking into account any corresponding reductions in
     contribution obligations made to previously existing Plans);

          (g) within three (3) Business Days after receipt by any Credit Party

     For purposes of this Section 7.4, any Credit Party or any of its
Subsidiaries or ERISA Affiliates shall be deemed to know all facts known by the
administrator of any Plan of which such entity is the plan sponsor.

     The Credit Parties will establish, maintain and operate all Plans to comply
in all material respects with the provisions of ERISA, the Internal Revenue
Code, and all other applicable laws, and the regulations and interpretations
thereunder other than to the extent that any Credit Parties is in good faith
contesting by appropriate proceedings the validity or implication of any such
provision, law, rule, regulation or interpretation.

     7.5 PROCEEDINGS OR ADVERSE CHANGES.

     The Credit Parties will within five (5) Business Days after any executive
officer of any Credit Party learns of the following, give written notice to the
Agent of (i) any material proceeding(s) being instituted or threatened to be
instituted by or against any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries in any
federal, state, local or foreign court or before any commission or other
regulatory body (federal, state, local or foreign), and (ii) any Material
Adverse Change. Provision of such notice by the Credit Parties will not
constitute a waiver or excuse of any Default or Event of Default occurring as a
result of such changes or events.

     7.6 ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS.

     Each Credit Party will conduct its business and the businesses of each of
the Subsidiaries so as to comply in all material respects with all environmental
laws, regulations, directions, ordinances, criteria and guidelines in all
jurisdictions in which any of them is or may at any time be doing business
including, without limitation, environmental land use, occupational safety or
health laws, regulations, directions, ordinances, criteria, guidelines,
requirements or permits in all jurisdictions in which any of them is or may at
any time be doing business, except to the

<PAGE>

extent that any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries is contesting, in good
faith by appropriate legal proceedings, any such law, regulation, direction,
ordinance, criteria, guideline, or interpretation thereof or application
thereof, and except where failure would not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect; provided, further, that each Credit Party and each of
the Subsidiaries will comply with the order of any court or other governmental
body of the applicable jurisdiction relating to such laws unless such Credit
Party or Subsidiary shall currently be prosecuting an appeal or proceedings for
review and shall have secured a stay of enforcement or execution or other
arrangement postponing enforcement or execution pending such appeal or
proceedings for review. If any executive officer of any Credit Party or any of
its Subsidiaries shall (a) receive notice that any violation of any federal,
state or local environmental law, regulation, direction, ordinance, criteria or
guideline may have been committed or is about to be committed by such Credit
Party or any of its Subsidiaries, (b) receive notice that any administrative or
judicial complaint or order has been filed or is about to be filed against such
Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries alleging violations of any federal,
state or local environmental law, regulation, direction, ordinance, criteria or
guideline or requiring such Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries to take any
action in connection with the release of toxic or hazardous substances into the
environment or (c) receive any notice from a federal, state, or local
governmental agency or private party alleging that such Credit Party or any of
its Subsidiaries may be liable or responsible for costs associated with a
response to or cleanup of a release of a toxic or hazardous substance into the
environment or any damages caused thereby, the Credit Parties will provide the
Agent with a copy of such notice within fifteen (15) days after the receipt
thereof by the applicable Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries. Within
fifteen (15) days after any Credit Party learns of the enactment or promulgation
of any federal, state or local environmental law, regulation, direction,
ordinance, criteria or guideline which could reasonably have a Material Adverse
Effect, such Credit Party will provide the Agent with notice thereof. Each
Credit Party will promptly take all actions necessary to prevent the imposition
of any Liens on any of its properties arising out of or related to any
environmental matters.

     7.7 BOOKS AND RECORDS; INSPECTION.

     Each Credit Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to,
maintain books and records pertaining to the Accounts and other Collateral in
such detail, form and scope as is consistent with good business practice or as
the Agent may otherwise reasonably require, and agrees that such books and
records will reflect the Lenders' interest in the Accounts and such other
Collateral. Each Credit Party agrees that the Agent or its agents, upon
reasonable prior written notice (except during the existence of an Event of
Default), may enter upon the premises of each Credit Party or any of its
Subsidiaries at any time and from time to time, during normal business hours and
subject to the limitations, if any, contained in any Leases of Real Property,
and at any time at all during the existence of an Event of Default, for the
purpose of (a) enabling the Agent's internal auditors or outside third party
designees to conduct quarterly field examinations at such Credit Party's
expense, (b) inspecting the Collateral, (c) inspecting and/or copying (at such
Credit Party's expense) any and all records pertaining thereto, (d) discussing
the affairs, finances and business of any Credit Party or with any executive
officers and directors of any Credit Party and (e) verifying Eligible Accounts
Receivable and/or Eligible Spare Parts. The Lenders, in the reasonable
discretion of the Agent, may accompany the Agent at their sole expense in
connection with the foregoing inspections. The Agent expects to conduct two
field examinations per year, but reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to
conduct a field examination

<PAGE>

at any time, or with less frequency, upon reasonable notice to the Parent. The
Agent reserves the right, exercisable from time to time hereafter in the Agent's
commercially reasonable judgment, to require that any Credit Party obtain, and
the Credit Parties shall so obtain, at the Credit Parties' expense, Spare Parts
Appraisals or other appraisals or updates to any existing appraisals being
obtained in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
reflecting then current values of the Spare Parts; provided, that unless an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, so long as the Agent continues
to receive the Spare Parts Appraisals described in Section 7.2(b), the Agent
shall not require additional Spare Parts Appraisals. Each Credit Party agrees
to afford the Agent thirty (30) days prior written notice of any change in the
location of any Collateral (other than Inventory held for shipment by third
Persons, Inventory in transit or on aircraft, Inventory held for processing by
third Persons or immaterial quantities of assets, equipment or Inventory), its
jurisdiction of organization or the location of its chief executive office or
place of business from the locations specified in Schedule 6.7, and to execute
(to the extent required) in advance of such change, cause to be filed and/or
delivered to the Agent any financing statements or other documents required by
the Agent, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent. Each Credit
Party agrees to furnish any Lender with such other information regarding its
business affairs and financial condition as such Lender may reasonably request
from time to time.

     7.8 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.]

     7.9 SECURITY INTERESTS.

     Each Credit Party will defend the Collateral against all claims and demands
of all Persons at any time claiming the same or any interest therein. Each
Credit Party agrees to, and will cause the other Credit Parties to, comply with
the requirements of all state (other than state certificate of title laws) and
federal laws in order to grant to the Lenders valid and perfected first priority
security interests in the Collateral. The Agent is hereby authorized by each
Credit Party to file any financing statements covering the Collateral whether or
not any Credit Party's signature appears thereon. Each Credit Party agrees to do
whatever the Agent may reasonably request, from time to time, by way of: filing
notices of liens, financing statements, fixture filings and amendments, renewals
and continuations thereof; making appropriate filings with the FAA as to any
aircraft, engines or Spare Parts that are owned by any Credit Party, cooperating
with the Agent's custodians; keeping stock records; obtaining waivers from
landlords and mortgagees and from warehousemen and aircraft lessors and their
respective landlords and mortgagees; paying claims, which might if unpaid,
become a Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) on the Collateral; assigning its
rights to the payment of Accounts pursuant to the Assignment Act (the failure of
which to so assign will permit the Agent to exclude such Accounts from the
Borrowing Base); and performing such further acts as the Agent may reasonably
require in order to effect the purposes of this Credit Agreement and the other
Credit Documents. Any and all fees, costs and expenses of whatever kind and
nature (including any Taxes, reasonable attorneys' fees actually incurred or
costs for insurance of any kind), which the Agent may incur with respect to the
Collateral or the Obligations: in filing public notices; in preparing or filing
documents; making title examinations or rendering opinions (subject to express
limitations as provided herein); in protecting, maintaining, or preserving the
Collateral or its interest therein; in enforcing or foreclosing the Liens
hereunder, whether through judicial procedures or otherwise; or in defending or
prosecuting any actions or proceedings arising out of or relating to its
transactions

<PAGE>

with any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries under this Credit Agreement or
any other Credit Document, will be borne and paid by the Credit Parties. If the
same are not promptly paid by the Credit Parties, the Agent may pay same on the
Credit Parties' behalf, and the amount thereof shall be an Obligation secured
hereby and due to the Agent on demand. If any Credit Party acquires or leases
any Real Estate after the date hereof, such Credit Party will promptly submit to
the Agent an updated Schedule 6.19 pursuant to Section 7.23, and all provisions
of this Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, the foregoing
provisions of this Section 7.9 and all other applicable representations,
warranties and covenants) that are applicable to Real Estate shall apply
thereto.

     7.10 INSURANCE; CASUALTY LOSS.

     Each Credit Party will, and will cause each of the Subsidiaries to,
maintain public liability insurance, third party property damage liability
insurance and replacement value property insurance on the Collateral under such
policies of insurance, with such insurance companies, in such amounts and
covering such risks as are customary for similarly situated companies and at all
times satisfactory to the Agent in its reasonable discretion. The Lenders shall
be named as additional insured on all liability policies. All property policies
covering the Collateral are to name the Agent as loss payee and the Credit
Parties and the Lenders as additional insureds in case of loss, as their
interests may appear, and are to contain such other provisions as the Agent may
reasonably require to fully protect the Agent's interest in the Collateral and
to any payments to be made under such policies. True copies of all original
insurance policies or certificates of insurance evidencing such insurance
covering the Collateral are to be delivered to the Agent on or prior to the
Closing Date, premium prepaid, with the loss payable endorsement in the Agent's
favor, and shall provide for not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice
to the Agent, of the exercise of any right of cancellation. In the event any
Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries fail to respond in a timely and
appropriate manner (as determined by the Agent in its reasonable discretion)
with respect to collecting any claim in excess of $500,000 under any insurance
policies required to be maintained under this Section 7.10, the Agent shall have
the right (subject to the last sentence in this Section 7.10), in the name of
the Agent, such Credit Party or Subsidiary, to file claims under such insurance
policies, to receive and give acquittance for any payments that may be payable
thereunder, and to execute any and all endorsements, receipts, releases,
assignments, reassignments or other documents that may be necessary to effect
the collection, compromise or settlement of any claims under any such insurance
policies. Each Credit Party will provide written notice to the Lenders of the
occurrence of any of the following events within five (5) Business Days after
its risk manager has knowledge of such event: any asset or property owned or
used by any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries is (i) materially damaged or
destroyed, or suffers any other loss or (ii) is condemned, confiscated or
otherwise taken, in whole or in part, or the use thereof is otherwise diminished
so as to render impracticable or unreasonable the use of such asset or property
for the purpose to which such asset or property were used immediately prior to
such condemnation, confiscation or taking, by exercise of the powers of
condemnation or eminent domain or otherwise, and in either case the amount of
the damage, destruction, loss or diminution in value of the Collateral is in
excess of $500,000 (collectively, a "Casualty Loss"). Each Credit Party will
diligently file and prosecute its claim or claims for any award or payment in
connection with a Casualty Loss. In the event of a Casualty Loss (subject to the
last sentence in this Section 7.10), the Credit Parties will pay to the Agent,
promptly upon receipt thereof, any and all

<PAGE>

insurance proceeds and payments received by any Credit Party or any of its
Subsidiaries on account of damage, destruction or loss of all or any portion of
the Collateral in excess of $500,000. The Agent may, at its election and in its
sole discretion, either (a) apply the proceeds realized from Casualty Losses in
excess of $500,000 to payment of accrued and unpaid interest or outstanding
principal of the Revolving Loans or (b) pay such proceeds to the Credit Parties
to be used to repair, replace or rebuild the asset or property or portion
thereof that was the subject of the Casualty Loss. After the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) no settlement on account of
any such Casualty Loss shall be made without the consent of the Agent and (ii)
the Agent may participate in any such proceedings and the Credit Parties will
deliver to the Agent such documents as may be requested by the Agent to permit
such participation and will consult with the Agent, its attorneys and agents in
the making and prosecution of such claim or claims. Each Credit Party hereby
irrevocably authorizes and appoints the Agent its attorney-in-fact, after the
occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, to collect and receive for
any such award or payment and to file and prosecute such claim or claims, which
power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an
interest, and each Credit Party shall, upon demand of the Agent, make, execute
and deliver any and all assignments and other instruments sufficient for the
purpose of assigning any such award or payment to the Agent for the benefit of
the Lenders, free and clear of any encumbrances of any kind or nature
whatsoever. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.10 to the contrary,
provided there exists no Event of Default, if there is Casualty Loss with
respect to assets or property which does not constitute Collateral, to the
extent a Credit Party has paid money toward the repair or replacement of such
assets or property, and such assets or property have been, or are in the process
of being, repaired or replaced in a timely manner, the Agent shall have no right
to file insurance claims or collect insurance proceeds with respect to such
assets or property, but, if there is a Casualty Loss with respect to Collateral,
to the extent a Credit Party has paid money toward the repair or replacement of
such Collateral, and such Collateral is, or is in the process of being, repaired
or replaced in a timely manner, such Credit Party shall be entitled to insurance
proceeds and consequential damages to the extent of the amount paid for such
repair or replacement and any consequential damages incurred in connection with
such Casualty Loss, provided that this subsection (b) shall not limit the
Agent's right to file insurance claims to the extent provided in this Section
7.10 and collect insurance proceeds in excess of the amount paid by such Credit
Party for such repair or replacement.

     7.11 TAXES.

     Each Credit Party will, and will cause each of the Subsidiaries to, pay,
when due and in any event prior to delinquency (giving effect to all
extensions), all Taxes lawfully levied or assessed against any Credit Party, any
of its Subsidiaries or any of the Collateral; provided, however, that unless
such Taxes have become a federal tax or ERISA Lien on any of the assets of any
Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, no such Tax need be paid if the same is
being contested in good faith, by appropriate proceedings promptly instituted
and diligently conducted and if an adequate reserve or other appropriate
provision shall have been made therefor as required in order to be in conformity
with GAAP.

<PAGE>

     7.12 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.

     Each Credit Party will, and will cause each of the Subsidiaries to, comply
with all lawful acts, rules, regulations, orders, directions and ordinances of
any legislative, administrative or judicial body or official applicable to the
Collateral or any part thereof, or to the operation of its business, except
where the failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

     7.13 USE OF PROCEEDS.

     The proceeds of any advances made hereunder shall be used by the Borrowers
solely to refinance approximately $24,000,000 of outstanding U.S. Government
guaranteed loans and for the working capital, letter of credit and general
corporate needs of the Borrowers or any other lawful purpose; provided, however,
that in any event, no portion of the proceeds of any such advances shall be used
by the Borrowers for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any "margin stock"
(as defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System) or for any other purpose which violates the provisions or Regulation U
or X of said Board of Governors or for any other purpose in violation of any
applicable statute or regulation, or of the terms and conditions of this Credit
Agreement.

     7.14 FISCAL YEAR; ACCOUNTING POLICIES.

     Each Credit Party agrees that it will not change its fiscal year from a
year ending December 31 unless required by law or its Independent Accountant, in
which case such Credit Party will give the Agent at least thirty (30) days prior
written notice thereof or such shorter period as may be required to assure
Credit Parties' compliance with any such requirement. Each Credit Party agrees
that it will not change its accounting policies from those used to prepare the
financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.1(c) without complying with
the requirements of Section 1.2.

     7.15 NOTIFICATION OF CERTAIN EVENTS.

     Each Credit Party agrees that it will within five (5) Business Days after
such Credit Party learns of the following, notify the Agent of the occurrence of
any of the following events (with it being understood that providing of notice
pursuant to this Section 7.15 does not constitute any waiver or consent to any
of the following):

          (a) any Material Contract of any Credit Party or any of its
     Subsidiaries with a USG Entity is terminated before the scheduled
     termination date or amended in any material respect adverse to such Credit
     Party or any new Material Contract is entered into with a USG Entity (in
     which event each Credit Party shall provide the Agent with a copy of such
     Material Contract); or

          (b) any of the material terms upon which any of the material suppliers
     to any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries do business with any Credit
     Party or any Subsidiary are changed or amended in any material adverse
     respect; or

<PAGE>

          (c) any order, judgment or decree in excess of $1,000,000 shall have
     been entered against any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any of
     their respective properties or assets; or

          (d) any notification of violation of any law or regulation in any
     material respect or any material inquiry shall have been received by any
     Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries from any local, state, federal or
     foreign Governmental Authority or agency.

     7.16 ADDITIONAL BORROWERS AND GUARANTORS.

     The Credit Parties will not form or acquire any material Foreign
Subsidiary. Upon any Person becoming a direct or indirect Subsidiary of the
Parent, the Credit Parties will provide the Agent with written notice thereof
setting forth information in reasonable detail describing all of the assets of
such Person and shall (a) cause any such Person that is a Domestic Subsidiary to
execute and deliver to the Agent a Joinder Agreement in substantially the form
of Exhibit M, causing such Subsidiary to become a party to (i) this Credit
Agreement, as a joint and several "Borrower", (ii) the Security Agreement, as an
"Obligor" granting a first priority Lien on its personal property, subject to
Permitted Encumbrances, (iii) the Contribution Agreement, as a "Contributing
Party" and (iv) as appropriate, the Pledge Agreement, as a "Pledgor", causing
all of its Capital Stock (or in the case of any Foreign Subsidiary, and without
waiving the requirement for the prior consent of the Required Lenders for the
formation or acquisition thereof, sixty-five percent (65%) of its Capital Stock)
to be delivered to the Agent (together with undated stock powers signed in blank
and pledged to the Agent) (b) cause any such Person that is a Domestic
Subsidiary to execute and deliver to the Agent Revolving Notes in favor of the
Lenders, and (c) deliver such other documentation as the Agent may reasonably
request in connection with the foregoing, including, without limitation,
appropriate UCC-1 financing statements, Acknowledgment Agreements, 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

satisfactory to the Agent; provided, however, in lieu of the foregoing, at the
option of the Agent, the Credit Parties shall cause such Person to execute and
deliver to the Agent a joinder agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit M
causing such Subsidiary (other than a Foreign Subsidiary) to become a party to

Accounts of each Credit Party granted pursuant to the Security Agreement, at
such time as the Agent may reasonably request, each Credit Party will execute
and deliver to the Agent in such form and manner as the Agent may require,

<PAGE>

each Credit Party will provide the Agent with copies of agreements with, or
purchase orders from, the customers of each Credit Party and its Subsidiaries,
and copies of invoices to customers, proof of shipment or delivery and such
other documentation and information relating to said Accounts and other
collateral as the Agent may require. Failure to provide the Agent with any of
the foregoing shall in no way affect, diminish, modify or otherwise limit the
security interests granted herein. Each Credit Party hereby authorizes the Agent
to regard such Credit Party's or any such Subsidiary's printed name or rubber
stamp signature on assignment schedules or invoices as the equivalent of a
manual signature by such Credit Party's or such Subsidiary's authorized officers
or agents.

     7.18 COLLECTION OF ACCOUNTS.

          (a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,

     collect and receive all amounts owing on the Accounts, for the Lenders'
     benefit and on the Lenders' behalf but at the Credit Parties' expense in
     accordance with the provisions of Section 2.3; such privilege shall
     terminate automatically, however, without notice to the Credit Parties
     which is hereby expressly waived by the Credit Parties, during the
     existence of any Event of Default and from and after such time and during
     the continuance thereof, the Agent shall be entitled to enforce, collect
     and receive all amounts owing on the Accounts and all other amounts for the
     Lenders' benefit and on the Lenders' behalf (but at the Credit Parties'
     expense) pursuant to cash management arrangements reasonably satisfactory
     to the Agent and in accordance with the Security Agreement.

          (b) Any checks, cash, notes or other instruments or property received
     directly by any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any
     Accounts shall be held by such Credit Party or such Subsidiary in trust for
     the benefit of the Lenders, separate from such Credit Party's or
     Subsidiary's own property and funds, and immediately turned over to the
     Agent with proper assignments or endorsements. No checks, drafts or other
     instruments received by the Agent shall constitute final payment unless and
     until such instruments have actually been collected.

     7.19 NOTICE; CREDIT MEMORANDA; AND RETURNED GOODS.

     Each Credit Party will notify the Agent promptly of any matters materially
affecting the value, enforceability or collectibility of any Account, and of all
material customer disputes, offsets, defenses, counterclaims, returns and
rejections, and all reclaimed or repossessed merchandise or goods, provided,
however, that such notice shall only be required as to any such matter that
affects Accounts outstanding at any one time from any account debtor, or
reclaimed or repossessed merchandise and goods in each instance, having a value
greater than $250,000. Each Credit Party will issue credit memoranda in
accordance with its customary practices (with duplicates to the Agent upon its
request for same) upon accepting returns or granting allowances, and may
continue to do so until the existence of an Event of Default. After the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Credit Party
agrees that all returned, reclaimed or repossessed merchandise or goods shall be
set aside by such Credit Party, marked with the Lenders' name and held by such
Credit Party for the Lenders' account as owner and assignee.

working order and condition (ordinary wear and tear excepted) in accordance with
their past operating practices and not to commit or suffer any waste with
respect to any of its properties, except for properties which either
individually or in the aggregate are not material.

     the acceleration of the maturity of any note, agreement or instrument
     evidencing (A) any Subordinated Debt or (B) any other Indebtedness of any

     of default has occurred, or the maturity of which is accelerated or
     permitted to be accelerated, exceeds $2,000,000, or (ii) the termination
     (other than in accordance with its terms) of any Lender Hedging Agreement;

          (j) any covenant, agreement or obligation of any party contained in or

     accordance with its terms, or any party (other than the Agent or the
     Lenders) to any Credit Document shall deny or disaffirm its obligations
     under any of the Credit Documents, or any Credit Document shall be
     canceled, terminated, revoked or rescinded without the express prior
     written consent of the Agent, or any action or proceeding shall have been
     commenced by

<PAGE>

     any Person (other than the Agent or any Lender) seeking to cancel, revoke,
     rescind or disaffirm the obligations of any party to any Credit Document,
     or any court or other Governmental Authority shall issue a judgment, order,
     decree or ruling to the effect that any of the obligations of any party to
     any Credit Document are illegal, invalid or unenforceable;

          (k) (i) any holder of Subordinated Debt alleges (or any Governmental

          (m) any Termination Event (other than a Reportable Event with respect
     to a Multiemployer Plan) with respect to a Benefit Plan shall have occurred
     and be continuing thirty (30) days after notice thereof shall have been
     given to the Parent by the Agent or any Lender, and the then current value

     involving the withdrawal of a substantial employer from a Benefit Plan, the
     withdrawing employer's proportionate share of such excess exceeds such
     amount, or, in the case of a Termination Event involving the withdrawal by
     an ERISA Affiliate from a Multiemployer Plan, the assessment of withdrawal
     liability in excess of said amount);

          (n) any default or termination shall have occurred under any Material
     Contract, including, without limitation, any Operative Document, to which
     any Credit Party is a party, which default or termination could reasonably
     be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; or

          (o) any other Credit Document shall fail to be in full force and
     effect or to give the Agent and/or the Lenders the security interests,
     liens, rights, powers and privileges purported to be created thereby
     (except as such documents may be terminated or no longer in force and
     effect in accordance with the terms thereof, other than those indemnities
     and provisions which by their terms shall survive).

     11.2 ACCELERATION.

     Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at
the direction of the Required Lenders, the Agent shall, upon the written,
telecopied or telex request of the

<PAGE>

Required Lenders, and by delivery of written notice to the Credit Parties from
the Agent, take any or all of the following actions, without prejudice to the
rights of the Agent, any Lender or the holder of any Note to enforce its claims
against any Borrower: (a) declare all Obligations (other than those arising in
connection with a Lender Hedging Agreement) to be immediately due and payable
(except with respect to any Event of Default set forth in Section 11.1(e) or (f)
in which case all Obligations (other than those arising in connection with a
Lender Hedging Agreement) shall automatically become immediately due and payable
without the necessity of any notice or other demand) without presentment,
demand, protest or any other action or obligation of the Agent or any Lender,
(b) immediately terminate this Credit Agreement and the Commitments hereunder;
and (c) enforce any and all rights and interests created and existing under the
Credit Documents or arising under applicable law, including, without limitation,
all rights and remedies existing under the Security Documents and all rights of
setoff. The enumeration of the foregoing rights is not intended to be exhaustive
and the exercise of any right shall not preclude the exercise of any other
rights, all of which shall be cumulative.

     In addition, upon demand by the Agent or the Required Lenders upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default, and at any time thereafter unless and until
such Event of Default has been waived by the requisite Lenders (in accordance
with the voting requirements of Section 14.9), the Borrowers shall deposit with
the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders with respect to each Letter of Credit
then outstanding, promptly upon such demand, cash or Cash Equivalents in an
amount equal to the greatest amount for which such Letter of Credit may be
drawn. Such deposit shall be held by the Agent for the benefit of the Issuing
Bank and the other Lenders as security for, and to provide for the payment of,
outstanding Letters of Credit.

                                   ARTICLE XII

                                   TERMINATION

          (a) Except as otherwise provided in Article XI, the Revolving Loan
     Commitments made hereunder shall terminate on the Maturity Date and all
     then outstanding Loans shall be immediately due and payable in full and all
     outstanding Letters of Credit shall immediately terminate. Unless sooner
     demanded, all Obligations shall become due and payable as of any
     termination hereunder or under Article XI and, pending a final accounting,
     the Agent may withhold any balances in the Borrowers' Loan accounts, in an
     amount sufficient, in the Agent's sole discretion, to cover all of the
     Obligations, whether absolute or contingent, unless supplied with a
     satisfactory indemnity to cover all of such Obligations. All of the Agent's
     and the Lenders' rights, liens and security interests shall continue after
     any termination until termination in accordance with the provisions of this
     Section.

          (b) This Credit Agreement, together with all other Credit Documents,
     shall continue in full force and effect until each of the following events
     (collectively, the "Credit and Collateral Termination Events") has
     occurred: (i) all of the Obligations have been fully and finally paid and
     performed (other than inchoate indemnity obligations), (ii) all Letters of
     Credit have expired or terminated, (iii) all Lender Hedging Agreements have
     expired or terminated (or other arrangements relating thereto have been
     made in a writing signed by all Persons party to such Lender Hedging
     Agreements and the Agent),

<PAGE>

     (iv) all agreements relating to Bank Products have expired or terminated
     (or other arrangements relating thereto have been made in a writing signed
     by all Persons party to such agreements and the Agent), and (v) all
     Commitments have been terminated and no Person or Governmental Authority
     shall have any right to request any return or reimbursement of funds from
     the Agent or the Lenders in connection with any of the foregoing.

                                  ARTICLE XIII

                                    THE AGENT

     13.1 APPOINTMENT OF AGENT.

          (a) Each Lender hereby designates Wachovia as Agent to act as herein
     specified. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes, and each holder of
     any Note or participation in any Letter of Credit by the acceptance of a
     Note or participation shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize, the Agent
     to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Credit
     Agreement and the Notes and any other instruments and agreements referred
     to herein and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder
     and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Agent by
     the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably
     incidental thereto. The Agent shall hold all Collateral and all payments of
     principal, interest, Fees, charges and expenses received pursuant to this
     Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document for the ratable benefit of
     the Lenders. The Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or
     through its agents or employees.

          (b) The provisions of this Article XIII are solely for the benefit of
     the Agent and the Lenders, and none of the Credit Parties shall have any
     rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof (other
     than Section 13.9). In performing its functions and duties under this
     Credit Agreement, the Agent shall act solely as agent of the Lenders and
     does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation
     toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for any Borrower.

     13.2 NATURE OF DUTIES OF AGENT.

     The Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly
set forth in this Credit Agreement. Neither the Agent nor any of its officers,
directors, employees or agents shall be liable for any action taken or omitted
by it as such hereunder or in connection herewith, unless caused by its or their
gross negligence or willful misconduct. The duties of the Agent shall be
mechanical and administrative in nature; the Agent shall not have by reason of
this Credit Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender; and
nothing in this Credit Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall
be so construed as to impose upon the Agent any obligations in respect of this
Credit Agreement except as expressly set forth herein.

     13.3 LACK OF RELIANCE ON AGENT.

          (a) Independently and without reliance upon the Agent, each Lender, to
     the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i)
     its own independent

<PAGE>

     investigation of the financial or other condition and affairs of each
     Credit Party in connection with the taking or not taking of any action in
     connection herewith and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of
     each Credit Party, and, except as expressly provided in this Credit
     Agreement, the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially
     or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other
     information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before
     the making of the Revolving Loans or at any time or times thereafter.

          (b) The Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals,
     statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any
     document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or
     for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability,
     collectibility, priority or sufficiency of this Credit Agreement, the Notes
     or any other Credit Document or the financial or other condition of any
     Credit Party. The Agent shall not be required to make any inquiry
     concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms,
     provisions or conditions of this Credit Agreement, the Notes or any other
     Credit Document, or the financial condition of any Credit Party, or the
     existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default, unless
     specifically requested to do so in writing by any Lender.

     13.4 CERTAIN RIGHTS OF THE AGENT.

     The Agent shall have the right to request instructions from the Required
Lenders or, as required, each of the Lenders. If the Agent shall request
instructions from the Required Lenders or each of the Lenders, as the case may
be, with respect to any act or action (including the failure to act) in
connection with this Credit Agreement, the Agent shall be entitled to refrain
from such act or taking such action unless and until the Agent shall have
received instructions from the Required Lenders or each of the Lenders, as the
case may be, and the Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of
so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of
action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the Agent acting or
refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the
Required Lenders or each of the Lenders, as the case may be.

     13.5 RELIANCE BY AGENT.

     The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in
relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate,
telex teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other
documentary, teletransmission or telephone message believed by it to be genuine
and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person. The
Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Credit Parties
with respect to matters concerning the Credit Parties), independent public
accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any
action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the
advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

<PAGE>

     13.6 INDEMNIFICATION OF AGENT.

     To the extent the Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Credit
Parties, each Lender will reimburse and indemnify the Agent, in proportion to
its respective Commitment, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses
(including counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or
nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the
Agent in performing its duties hereunder, in any way relating to or arising out
of this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Documents, provided that no Lender
shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
resulting from the Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

     13.7 THE AGENT IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY.

     With respect to its obligation to lend under this Credit Agreement, the
Loans made by it and the Notes issued to it, its participation in Letters of
Credit issued hereunder, and all of its rights and obligations as a Lender
hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the Agent shall have the same
rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender or holder of a Note or
participation interests and may exercise the same as though it was not
performing the duties specified herein; and the terms "Lenders", "Required
Lenders", "holders of Notes", or any similar terms shall, unless the context
clearly otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its individual capacity. The
Agent may accept deposits from, lend money to, acquire equity interests in, and
generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other
business with the Credit Parties or any Affiliate of the Credit Parties as if it
were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other
consideration from the Credit Parties for services in connection with this
Credit Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same with the
Lenders.

     13.8 HOLDERS OF NOTES.

     The Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for
all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment or
transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Agent. Any request, authority or
consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such
authority or consent, is the holder of any Note, shall be conclusive and binding
on any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of such Note or of any Note or
Notes issued in exchange therefor.

     13.9 SUCCESSOR AGENT.

     The Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders,
the Issuing Bank and the Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of
resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the
Borrowers, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the
United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United
States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required
Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the
retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on
behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, appoint a successor Agent meeting
the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Agent shall

<PAGE>

notify the Borrowers and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such
appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in
accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from
its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents and
(2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to
or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Issuing
Bank directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent
as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor's
appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become
vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or
retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its
duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (if not
already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees
payable by the Borrowers to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable
to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such
successor. After the retiring Agent's resignation hereunder and under the other
Credit Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 14.7 shall continue
in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their
respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as Agent. Any
resignation by Wachovia as Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute
its resignation as Issuing Bank. Upon the acceptance of a successor's
appointment as Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become
vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring
Issuing Bank, (b) the retiring Issuing Bank shall be discharged from all of
their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit
Documents, and (c) the successor Issuing Lender shall issue letters of credit in
substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such
succession or make other arrangement satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Lender
to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Lender with
respect to such Letters of Credit.

     13.10 COLLATERAL MATTERS.

          (a) Each Lender authorizes and directs the Agent to enter into the
     Security Documents for the benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender authorizes
     and directs the Agent to make such changes to the form Acknowledgment
     Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A as the Agent deems necessary in
     order to obtain any Acknowledgment Agreement from any landlord,
     warehouseman or aircraft lessor of any Credit Party. Each Lender also
     authorizes and directs the Agent to review and approve all agreements
     regarding the Collection Accounts (including the Deposit Account Control
     Agreements related thereto) on such terms as the Agent deems necessary.
     Each Lender hereby agrees, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance
     thereof will be deemed to agree, that, except as otherwise set forth
     herein, any action taken by the Required Lenders or each of the Lenders, as
     applicable, in accordance with the provisions of this Credit Agreement or
     the Security Documents, and the exercise by the Required Lenders or each of
     the Lenders, as applicable, of the powers set forth herein or therein,
     together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall
     be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. The Agent is hereby
     authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any
     notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time prior to an
     Event of Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or
     Security Document which may be necessary or appropriate to perfect and
     maintain perfected the security interest in and liens upon the Collateral
     granted pursuant to the Security

<PAGE>

     Documents. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges conferred upon the
     Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents may be exercised by
     the Agent without the necessity of the joinder of any other parties unless
     otherwise required by applicable law.

          (b) The Lenders hereby authorize the Agent, at its option and in its
     discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Agent upon any
     Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in cash and
     satisfaction of all of the Obligations (including the Letter of Credit
     Obligations) at any time arising under or in respect of this Credit
     Agreement or the other Credit Documents, or any Lender Hedging Agreement or
     the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) constituting property
     being sold or disposed of upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale by the
     Agent if the applicable Credit Party certifies to the Agent that the sale
     or disposition is made in compliance with Section 9.3 (and the Agent may
     rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry) or
     (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required
     Lenders, unless such release is required to be approved by all of the
     Lenders hereunder. Upon request by the Agent at any time, the Lenders will
     confirm in writing the Agent's authority to release particular types or
     items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 13.10(b).

          (c) Upon any sale and transfer of Collateral which is expressly
     permitted pursuant to the terms of this Credit Agreement, or consented to
     in writing by the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as applicable,
     and upon at least five (5) Business Days' prior written request by the
     applicable Credit Party, the Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably
     authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to
     evidence the release of the Liens granted to the Agent for the benefit of
     the Lenders herein or pursuant hereto upon the Collateral that was sold or
     transferred; provided that (i) the Agent shall not be required to execute
     any such document on terms which, in the Agent's opinion, would expose the
     Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other
     than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty and (ii) such
     release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations
     or any Liens upon (or obligations of such Credit Party or any of its
     Subsidiaries in respect of) all interests retained by such Credit Party or
     Subsidiary, including (without limitation) the proceeds of the sale, all of
     which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. In the event of
     any sale or transfer of Collateral, or any foreclosure with respect to any
     of the Collateral, the Agent shall be authorized to deduct all of the
     expenses reasonably incurred by the Agent from the proceeds of any such
     sale, transfer or foreclosure.

          (d) The Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Lenders or to
     any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the
     Credit Parties or any Subsidiary or is cared for, protected or insured or
     that the liens granted to the Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been
     properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or
     enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to
     continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care,
     disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or
     available to the Agent in this Section 13.10 or in any of the Security
     Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the
     Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Agent may
     act

<PAGE>

     in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the
     Agent's own interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and that the
     Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders, except for
     its gross negligence or willful misconduct.

          (e) The Agent shall promptly, upon receipt thereof, forward to each
     Lender copies of the results of any field examinations by the Agent with
     respect to any Credit Party and any appraisals obtained by the Agent with
     respect to any of the Collateral. The Agent shall have no liability to any
     Lender for any errors in or omissions from any field examination or other
     examination of any Credit Party or the Collateral, or in any such
     appraisal, unless such error or omission was the direct result of the
     Agent's willful misconduct.

     13.11 ACTIONS WITH RESPECT TO DEFAULTS.

     In addition to the Agent's right to take actions on its own accord as
permitted under this Credit Agreement, the Agent shall take such action with
respect to a Default or Event of Default as shall be directed by the Required
Lenders or all of the Lenders, as the case may be; provided that, until the
Agent shall have received such directions, the Agent may (but shall not be
obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect
to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable and in the best
interests of the Lenders, including, without limitation, actions permitted by
clause (c) of Section 11.2.

     13.12 DELIVERY OF INFORMATION.

     The Agent shall not be required to deliver to any Lender originals or
copies of any documents, instruments, notices, communications or other
information received by the Agent from the Credit Parties or any of their
Subsidiaries, the Required Lenders, any Lender or any other Person under or in
connection with this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document except (a) as
specifically provided in this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document and
(b) as specifically requested from time to time in writing by any Lender with
respect to a specific document instrument, notice or other written communication
received by and in the possession of the Agent at the time of receipt of such
request and then only in accordance with such specific request.

     13.13 NO RELIANCE ON AGENT'S CUSTOMER IDENTIFICATION PROGRAM.

     Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of
its affiliates, Participants or Assignees, may rely on Agent to carry out such
Lender's, Affiliate's, participant's or assignee's customer identification
program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA
Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained
in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the "CIP Regulations"), or
any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the
following items relating to or in connection with the Borrowers, their
Affiliates or its agents, the Credit Documents or the transactions hereunder:
(1) any identity verification procedures, (2) any record keeping, (3) any
comparisons with government lists, (4) any customer notices or (5) any other
procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other laws.

     13.14 USA PATRIOT ACT.

     Each Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not organized
under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and is not
excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the USA
Patriot Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (i) an affiliate
of a depository institution or foreign bank that maintains a physical presence
in the United States or foreign country, and (ii) subject to supervision by a
banking authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign
bank) shall deliver to Agent the certification, or, if applicable,

Credit Documents) as well as notice of nonpayment. No delay or omission of the
Agent or the Lenders to exercise any right or remedy hereunder, whether before
or after the happening of any Event of Default, shall impair any such right or
shall operate as a waiver thereof or as a waiver of any such Event of Default.
No single or partial exercise by the Agent or the Lenders of any right or remedy
shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or preclude any other
right or remedy.

     14.5 ASSIGNABILITY.

          (a) No Borrower shall have the right to assign this Credit Agreement
     or any interest therein except with the prior written consent of the
     Lenders.

          (b) Notwithstanding subsection (c) of this Section 14.5, nothing
     herein shall restrict, prevent or prohibit any Lender from (i) pledging its
     Loans hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by
     such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank or (ii) granting assignments or
     participations in such Lender's Loans and/or Commitments hereunder to any
     Approved Assignee. Any Lender may make, carry or transfer Loans at, to or
     for the account of, any of its branch offices or the office of an affiliate
     of such Lender except to the extent such transfer would result in increased
     costs to the Borrowers.

          (c) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its lending business and
     in accordance with applicable law, at any time, assign to any Approved
     Assignee and, with the consent of the Agent (such consent not to be
     unreasonably withheld or delayed) and concurrent notice to the Borrowers,
     but without the consent of the Borrowers or any other Lender, assign to one
     or more other Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and
     obligations under this Credit Agreement and the Notes; provided, however,
     that (i) any such assignment of a portion must be for a constant and
     non-varying portion of its Loans and Commitments, (ii) for each such
     assignment, the parties thereto shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for
     its acceptance and recording in the Register (as defined below), an
     Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note or Notes subject to such
     assignment and a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 for each
     assignment to be paid by the assignee, (iii) no such assignment shall be
     for less than $5,000,000 or, if less, the entire remaining Commitments of
     such Lender of the Commitments and (iv) if such assignee is a Foreign
     Lender, all of the requirements of Section 2.6(b) shall have been satisfied
     as a condition to such assignment; and provided, further, that any
     assignment to an Approved Assignee shall not be subject to the minimum
     assignment amounts specified herein. Upon such execution and delivery of
     the Assignment and Acceptance to the Agent, from and after the effective
     date of such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the assignee thereunder shall
     be a party hereto, and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder
     have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, such
     assignee shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and
     (y) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and
     obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment
     and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other than any rights it may have
     pursuant to Section 14.7 which will survive) and be released from its
     obligations under this Credit Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment
     and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning
     Lender's rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement, such Lender
     shall cease to be a party hereto).

          (d) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the
     assignee thereunder confirms and agrees as follows: (i) other than as
     provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender makes no
     representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to
     any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with
     this Credit Agreement or the execution, legality, validity,

<PAGE>

     enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Credit Agreement,
     the Notes or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto,
     (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes
     no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Credit
     Parties or the performance or observance by the Credit Parties of any of
     its obligations under this Credit Agreement or any of the other Credit
     Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or
     thereto, (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this
     Credit Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred
     to in Section 7.1 and such other documents and information as it has deemed
     appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such
     Assignment and Acceptance, (iv) such assignee will, independently and
     without reliance upon the Agents, such assigning Lender or any other Lender
     and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at
     the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking
     action under this Credit Agreement, (v) such assignee appoints and
     authorizes the Agents to take such action as agent on its behalf and to
     exercise such powers under this Credit Agreement and the other Credit
     Documents as are delegated to the Agents by the terms hereof, together with
     such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and (vi) such assignee
     agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the
     obligations which by the terms of this Credit Agreement are required to be
     performed by it as a Lender.

          (e) The Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section
     14.4 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by
     it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the
     Lenders and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to,
     each Lender from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register
     shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error,
     and the Borrowers, the Agents and the Lenders may treat each Person whose
     name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of
     this Credit Agreement. The Register and copies of each Assignment and
     Acceptance shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers or any Lender
     at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

          (f) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an
     assigning Lender, together with any Note or Notes subject to such
     assignment, the Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been
     completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit B, (i) accept such
     Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in
     the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrowers. Within
     five (5) Business Days after its receipt of such notice, if requested by
     the assignee, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to the Agent in
     exchange for any surrendered Note or Notes (which the assigning Lender
     agrees to promptly deliver to the Parent) a new Note or Notes to the order
     of the assignee in an amount equal to the Commitment or Commitments assumed
     by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning
     Lender has retained a Commitment or Commitments hereunder and if requested
     by it, a new Note or Notes to the order of the assigning Lender in an
     amount equal to the Commitment or Commitments retained by it hereunder. Any
     such new Note or Notes shall re-evidence the indebtedness outstanding under
     any old Notes or Notes and shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal
     to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note or Notes, shall
     be dated the Closing Date and

<PAGE>

     shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the Note or Notes subject
     to such assignments.

          (g) Each Lender may sell participations (without the consent of the
     Agent, the Borrowers or any other Lender) to one or more parties in or to
     all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement
     (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments, the
     Loans owing to it and any Note or Notes held by it); provided that (i) such
     Lender's obligations under this Credit Agreement (including, without
     limitation, its Commitments to the Borrowers hereunder) shall remain
     unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other
     parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender
     shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Credit
     Agreement, (iv) the Borrowers, the Agent, and the other Lenders shall
     continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with
     such Lender's rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement and (v)
     such Lender shall not transfer, grant, assign or sell any participation
     under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment or
     waiver of this Credit Agreement except to the extent such amendment or
     waiver would (A) extend the final maturity date or the date for the
     payments of any installment of fees or principal or interest of any Loans
     or Letter of Credit reimbursement obligations in which such participant is
     participating, (B) reduce the amount of any installment of principal of the
     Loans or Letter of Credit reimbursement obligations in which such
     participant is participating, (C) except as otherwise expressly provided in
     this Credit Agreement, reduce the interest rate applicable to the Loans or
     Letter of Credit reimbursement obligations in which such participant is
     participating, or (D) except as otherwise expressly provided in this Credit
     Agreement, reduce any Fees payable hereunder.

          (h) Each Lender agrees that, without the prior written consent of the
     Borrowers and the Agent, it will not make any assignment or sell a
     participation hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would
     require registration or qualification of, or filings in respect of, any
     Loan, Note or other Obligation under the securities laws of the United
     States of America or of any jurisdiction.

          (i) In connection with the efforts of any Lender to assign its rights
     or obligations or to participate interests, such Lender may disclose any
     information in its possession regarding the Borrowers or any of their
     Subsidiaries, subject to compliance with Section 14.6 below.

     14.6 INFORMATION.

     Each Lending Party agrees to keep confidential any information furnished or
made available to it by the Borrowers pursuant to this Credit Agreement that is
marked confidential; provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Lending
Party from disclosing such information (a) to any other Lending Party or any
affiliate of any Lending Party, or any officer, director, employee, agent, or
advisor of any Lending Party or affiliate of any Lending Party, (b) to any other
Person if reasonably incidental to the administration of the credit facility
provided herein, (c) as required by any law, rule, or regulation, (d) upon the
order of any court or administrative agency, (e) upon the request or demand of
any regulatory agency or authority; provided,

<PAGE>

however, that, with respect to clauses (c) through (e), to the extent permitted
by law, the affected Lending Party shall provide prior written notice to the
affected Borrower of any such request or demand, (f) that is or becomes
available to the public or that is or becomes available to any Lending Party
other than as a result of a disclosure by any Lending Party prohibited by this
Credit Agreement, (g) in connection with any litigation to which such Lending
Party or any of its affiliates may be a party, whether to defend itself, reduce
its liability, protect or exercise any of its claims, rights, remedies or
interests under or in connection with the Credit Documents or any Lender Hedging
Agreement, or otherwise, (h) to the extent necessary in connection with the
exercise of any remedy under this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document,
(i) subject to provisions substantially similar to those contained in this
Section 14.6, to any actual or proposed participant or assignee and (j) to Gold
Sheets and other similar bank trade publications; such information to consist of
deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications. Each
Borrower hereby authorizes the Agent to use the name, logos and other insignia
of such Borrower and the amount of the credit facility provided hereunder in any
"tombstone" or comparable advertising, on its website or in other marketing
materials of the Agent, subject to such Borrower's prior review of appropriate
notices identifying Borrower's intellectual property rights therein.

     14.7 PAYMENT OF EXPENSES; INDEMNIFICATION.

     The Borrowers agree to: (a) pay all out-of-pocket costs and expenses of (i)
the Agent in connection with (A) the syndication, negotiation, preparation,
execution, delivery, administration and monitoring of this Credit Agreement and
the other Credit Documents and the documents and instruments referred to therein
or executed in connection therewith, including evaluating the compliance by the
Credit Parties with law and the provisions of such documents (including, without

connection with collateral issues and all due diligence, appraisal, field exam,
environmental audit and other similar costs (including ongoing per diem and out

amendment, waiver or consent relating hereto and thereto including, without
limitation, any such amendments, waivers or consents resulting from or related

any of the Credit Parties under this Credit Agreement or any other Credit
Documents and (ii) the Agent and the Lenders in connection with (A) enforcement

Parties under this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Documents, including,
without limitation, in connection with any such enforcement, the reasonable fees

investigation (including, without limitation, background checks) performed to
determine whether any Credit Party, or any officer, director shareholder or
Affiliate of a Credit Party has violated any Anti-Terrorism Law or other similar
law. The Borrowers shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Agent, the
Issuing Bank and each of the Lenders and their respective directors, officers,
agents, employees and counsel from and against (x) any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities, deficiencies, judgments or expenses incurred by any of

<PAGE>

misconduct or breach of this Agreement) arising out of or by reason of any
litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding which arises out of or is in any
way related to (i) this Credit Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any other
Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any
actual or proposed use by any Borrower of the proceeds of the Loans or (iii) the

connection with compliance by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of
their respective properties, with any federal, state or local environmental
laws, acts, rules, regulations, orders, directions, ordinances, criteria or
guidelines. If and to the extent that the obligations of any Borrower hereunder
are unenforceable for any reason, such Borrower hereby agrees to make the
maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which
is permissible under applicable law. The Borrowers' obligations under this
Section 14.7 shall survive any termination of this Credit Agreement and the
other Credit Documents and the payment in full of the Obligations, and are in
addition to, and not in substitution of, any other of their Obligations set
forth in this Credit Agreement. In addition, the Borrowers shall, upon demand,
pay to the Agent and any Lender all costs and expenses (including the reasonable
fees actually incurred and disbursements of counsel and other professionals)

or defending its rights under or in respect of this Credit Agreement, the other
Credit Documents or any other document or instrument now or hereafter executed

the foregoing.

     14.8 ENTIRE AGREEMENT, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

entire agreement among the Credit Parties, the Agent and the Lenders, supersedes
any prior agreements among them, and shall bind and benefit the Credit Parties
and the Lenders and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

     14.9 AMENDMENTS, ETC.

     Neither the amendment or waiver of any provision of this Credit Agreement
or any other Credit Document, nor the consent to any departure by any Credit
Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in
writing and signed by the Required Lenders, or if the Lenders shall not be
parties thereto, by the parties thereto and consented to by the Required Lenders
and (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the Parent,
and each such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided that no
amendment, waiver or consent shall unless in writing and signed by all the
Lenders (and in the case of clause (e) below, with respect to Section 2.8, and
clause (f) below, any provider of a Lender Hedging Agreement), do any of the
following:

<PAGE>

          (a) increase the Commitments of the Lenders or subject the Lenders to
     any additional obligations;

          (b) except as otherwise expressly provided in this Credit Agreement,
     reduce the principal of, or interest on, any Note or any Letter of Credit
     reimbursement obligations or any fees hereunder;

          (c) postpone any date fixed for any payment or mandatory prepayment in
     respect of principal of, or interest on, any Note or any Letter of Credit
     reimbursement obligations or any fees hereunder;

          (d) change the percentage of the Commitments, or any minimum
     requirement necessary for the Lenders or the Required Lenders to take any
     action hereunder;

          (e) amend or waive Section 2.1(d)(vii), Section 2.7, Section 2.8 or
     this Section 14.9, or change the definition of Required Lenders;

          (f) except as otherwise expressly provided in this Credit Agreement,
     and other than in connection with the financing, refinancing, sale or other
     disposition of any asset of the Credit Parties permitted under this Credit
     Agreement, release any Liens in favor of the Lenders on any material
     portion of the Collateral;

          (g) except as expressly permitted hereunder, modify the definition of
     Borrowing Base or any defined term or component set forth in the definition
     thereof such that more credit would be available to the Borrowers as a
     result of such modification; provided, that (i) the foregoing shall not
     limit the adjustment by the Agent of any reserve implemented by the Agent
     and (ii) the foregoing shall not prevent the Agent from restoring any
     component of the Borrowing Base which had been lowered by the Agent back to
     the value of such component in effect on the Closing Date or to an
     intermediate value; or

          (h) agree to subordinate the priority of Liens on the Collateral in
     favor of the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, in favor of any other
     creditor of the Credit Parties;

and, provided, further, that no amendment, waiver or consent affecting the
rights or duties of the Agent or the Issuing Bank under any Credit Document
shall in any event be effective, unless in writing and signed by the Agent
and/or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, in addition to the Lenders required
hereinabove to take such action. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the
contrary, the consent of the Borrowers shall not be required for any amendment,
modification or waiver of the provisions of Article XIII (other than the
provisions of Section 13.9). In addition, the Borrowers and the Lenders hereby
authorize the Agent to modify this Credit Agreement by unilaterally amending or
supplementing Schedule 1.1A from time to time in the manner requested by the
Borrowers, the Agent or any Lender in order to reflect any assignments or
transfers of the Loans as provided for hereunder; provided, however, that the
Agent shall promptly deliver a copy of any such modification to the Borrowers
and each Lender.

<PAGE>

     14.10 NONLIABILITY OF AGENT AND LENDERS.

     The relationship between any Borrower on the one hand and the Lenders and
the Agent on the other hand shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Neither
the Agent nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Credit
Party. Neither the Agent nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to any
Borrower to review or inform any Credit Party of any matter in connection with
any phase of such Credit Party's business or operations.

     14.11 INDEPENDENT NATURE OF LENDERS' RIGHTS.

     The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender on account of such
Lender's Loans and under any Note or Notes held by it shall be a separate and
independent debt.

     14.12 COUNTERPARTS.

     This Credit Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by
the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together
constitute one and the same instrument.

     14.13 EFFECTIVENESS.

     This Credit Agreement shall become effective at such time when all of the
conditions set forth in Section 5.1 have been satisfied or waived by the Lenders
and it shall have been executed by each Borrower and the Agent, and the Agent
shall have received copies hereof (telefaxed or otherwise) which, when taken
together, bear the signatures of each Lender, and thereafter this Credit
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Credit Party,
the Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns.

     14.14 SEVERABILITY.

     In case any provision in or obligation under this Credit Agreement or any
Notes or the other Credit Documents shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable
in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other
jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

     14.15 HEADINGS DESCRIPTIVE.

     The headings of the several sections and subsections of this Credit
Agreement, and the Table of Contents, are inserted for convenience only and
shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this
Credit Agreement.

     14.16 MAXIMUM RATE.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Credit
Agreement or in any other Credit Document, the Borrowers, the Agent and the
Lenders hereby agree that all agreements among them under this Credit Agreement
and the other Credit Documents, whether now existing or hereafter arising and
whether written or oral, are expressly limited so that in no contingency or
event whatsoever shall the amount paid, or agreed to be paid, to the Agent or
any

<PAGE>

Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the money loaned to any
Borrower and evidenced hereby or thereby or for the performance or payment of
any covenant or obligation contained herein or therein, exceed the Highest
Lawful Rate. If due to any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any
provisions of this Credit Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents at the
time performance of such provision shall be due shall exceed the Highest Lawful
Rate, then, automatically, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be modified or
reduced to the extent necessary to limit such interest to the Highest Lawful
Rate, and if from any such circumstance any Lender should ever receive anything
of value deemed interest by applicable law which would exceed the Highest Lawful
Rate, such excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal
amount then outstanding hereunder or on account of any other then outstanding
Obligations and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest
exceeds the principal unpaid balance then outstanding hereunder and such other
then outstanding Obligations, such excess shall be refunded to the applicable
Borrower. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Agent or any Lender for the
use, forbearance, or detention of the Obligations and other indebtedness of the
Borrowers to the Agent or any Lender shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full
term of such indebtedness until payment in full so that the actual rate of
interest on account of all such indebtedness does not exceed the Highest Lawful
Rate throughout the entire term of such indebtedness. The terms and provisions
of this Section shall control every other provision of this Credit Agreement and
all agreements among the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders.

     14.17 RIGHT OF SETOFF.

     In addition to and not in limitation of all rights of offset that any
Lender or other holder of a Note may have under applicable law, each Lender or
other holder of a Loan or Note shall, if any Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing and whether or not such Lender or such holder has made any demand
or the Obligations of any Borrower are matured, have the right to appropriate
and apply to the payment of the Obligations of such Borrower all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) then or thereafter
held by and other indebtedness or property then or thereafter owing by such
Lender or other holder, including, without limitation, any and all amounts in
the Cash Concentration Account. Any amount received as a result of the exercise
of such rights shall be reallocated among the Lenders as set forth in Section
3.8. Any Lender exercising its rights under this Section 14.17 shall notify the
Borrowers with reasonable promptness no later than five (5) days after such
exercise.

     14.18 CONCERNING JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY OF THE BORROWERS.

          (a) Each of the Borrowers is accepting joint and several liability
     hereunder in consideration of the financial accommodation to be provided by
     the Lenders under this Credit Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly
     and indirectly, of each of the Borrowers and in consideration of the
     undertakings of each of the Borrowers to accept joint and several liability
     for the obligations of each of them.

          (b) Each of the Borrowers jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and
     unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor,
     joint and several liability with the other Borrowers with respect to the
     payment and performance of all of the Obligations, it being the intention
     of the parties hereto that all the Obligations shall be

<PAGE>

     the joint and several obligations of each of the Borrowers without
     preferences or distinction among them.

          (c) If and to the extent that any of the Borrowers shall fail to make
     any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due or to
     perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then
     in each such event, the other Borrowers will make such payment with respect
     to, or perform, such Obligation.

          (d) The obligations of each Borrower under the provisions of this
     Section 14.18 constitute full recourse obligations of such Borrower,
     enforceable against it to the full extent of its properties and assets,
     irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Credit
     Agreement or any other circumstances whatsoever.

          (e) Except as otherwise expressly provided in any Credit Document,
     each Borrower hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several
     liability, notice of any Loan made under this Credit Agreement, notice of
     occurrence of any Event of Default, or of any demand for any payment under
     this Credit Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by
     any Lender under or in respect of any of the Obligations, any requirement
     of diligence and, generally, all demands, notices and other formalities of
     every kind in connection with this Credit Agreement. Each Borrower hereby
     assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time
     for the payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any partial
     payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by any
     Lender at any time or times in respect of any default by any Borrower in
     the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or
     provision of this Credit Agreement, any and all other indulgences
     whatsoever by any Lender in respect of any of the Obligations, and the
     taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time
     or times, of any security for any of the Obligations or in part, at any
     time or times, of any security for any of the Obligations or the addition,
     substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any Borrower. Without
     limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower assents to any
     other action or delay in acting or failure to act on the part of any
     Lender, including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently
     to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with the
     applicable laws or regulations thereunder which might, but for the
     provisions of this Section 14.18, afford grounds for terminating,
     discharging or relieving such Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of
     its obligations under this Section 14.18, it being the intention of each
     Borrower that, so long as any of the Obligations remain unsatisfied, the
     obligations of such Borrower under this Section 14.18 shall not be
     discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such
     performance. The Obligations of each Borrower under this Section 14.18
     shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up,
     reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar
     proceeding with respect to any Borrower or any Lender. The joint and
     several liability of the Borrowers hereunder shall continue in full force
     and effect notwithstanding any absorption, merger, amalgamation or any
     other change whatsoever in the name, membership, constitution or place of
     formation of any Borrower or any Lender.

<PAGE>

          (f) The provisions of this Section 14.18 are made for the benefit of
     the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, and may be
     enforced by any such Person from time to time against any of the Borrowers
     as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part
     of any Lender first to marshal any of its claims or to exercise any of its
     rights against any of the other Borrowers or to exhaust any remedies
     available to it against any of the other Borrowers or to resort to any
     other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations or to
     elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section 14.18 shall remain
     in effect until all the Obligations shall have been paid in full or
     otherwise fully satisfied. If at any time, any payment, or any part
     thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations, is rescinded or must
     otherwise be restored or returned by any Lender upon the insolvency,
     bankruptcy or reorganization of any of the Borrowers, or otherwise, the
     provisions of this Section 14.18 will forthwith be reinstated in effect, as
     though such payment had not been made.

          (g) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or
     in any other of the Credit Documents, to the extent the joint obligations
     of a Borrower shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any
     reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or
     federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the
     obligations of each Borrower hereunder shall be limited to the maximum
     amount that is permissible under applicable law (whether federal or state
     and including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code), after taking into
     account, among other things, such Borrower's right of contribution and
     indemnification from each other Credit Party under applicable law or the
     Contribution Agreement.

     14.19 DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY.

     Each Borrower and (by execution and delivery of the Guaranty Agreement or
of a joinder thereto and incorporation by reference therein) each Guarantor, if
any, hereby authorizes and appoints the Parent and each of the executive
officers of the Parent, to be its attorneys ("its Attorneys") and in its name
and on its behalf and as its act and deed or otherwise to execute and deliver
all documents and carry out all such acts as are necessary or appropriate in
connection with borrowing Loans and the making of other extensions of credit
hereunder, the granting and perfection of security interests under the Security
Documents, and complying with the terms and provisions hereof and the other
Credit Documents. This delegation of authority and appointment shall be valid
for the duration of the term of this Credit Agreement; provided, however, that
such delegation of authority and appointment shall terminate automatically
without any further act with respect to any executive officer if such executive
officer is no longer an employee of the Parent. Each Borrower and (by execution
and delivery of the Guaranty Agreement or of a joinder thereto and incorporation
by reference therein) each Guarantor, if any, hereby undertakes to ratify
everything which any of its Attorneys shall do in furtherance of this delegation
of authority and appointment.

                  [remainder of page intentionally left blank]

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF the parties hereto have caused this Credit Agreement to
be executed and delivered by their proper and duly authorized officers as of the
date set forth above.

                               GUARANTY AGREEMENT

     THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT (this "Guaranty Agreement") is entered into as of
March 30, 2006, among by WORLD AIR HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation, and
WORLD AIRWAYS PARTS COMPANY, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (each a
"Guarantor", and collectively, the "Guarantors", which terms shall include any
Domestic Subsidiary which becomes a Guarantor pursuant to Section 7.16 of the
Credit Agreement referred to below), in favor of WACHOVIA BANK, NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION, in its capacity as the Agent (in such capacity, the "Agent") for
the financial institutions from time to time party to the Credit Agreement
described below (the "Lenders"). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise
defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Credit Agreement (as
defined below).

                                    RECITALS

     WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of March 30,
2006 (together with all modifications, renewals, extensions, supplements and
replacements from time to time, the "Credit Agreement") among World Airways,
Inc., a Delaware corporation, North American Airlines, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Borrowers"), the Lenders and the Agent, the Lenders have
agreed to make Loans and to issue or participate in Letters of Credit upon the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein; and

     WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Credit
Agreement and the obligations of the Lenders to make their respective Loans and
to issue or participate in Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement that the
Guarantors shall have executed and delivered this Guaranty Agreement to the
Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders; and

     WHEREAS, the Borrowers and the Guarantors are engaged in related
businesses, and each Guarantor will derive substantial direct and indirect
benefit from the making of the extensions of credit under the Credit Agreement;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     1. The Guaranty.

     Each Guarantor hereby guarantees to each Lender and to each Affiliate of a
Lender that enters into a Lender Hedging Agreement with or provides Bank
Products to a Borrower the prompt payment of all Obligations of the Borrowers,
whenever arising (hereinafter, collectively, the "Guaranteed Obligations"), in
full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by
acceleration, a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise) strictly in
accordance with the terms thereof. Each Guarantor hereby further agrees that if
any of the Guaranteed Obligations are not paid in full when due (whether at
stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as mandatory cash
collateralization or otherwise), such Guarantor will promptly pay the same, upon
demand, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of
any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when
due (whether at extended maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or

<PAGE>

otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal. This
guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection.

     Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any
other of the Credit Documents or any Lender Hedging Agreements or agreement
pertaining to Bank Products, to the extent the obligations of any Guarantor
shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including,
without limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law relating to
fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of such Guarantor
hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under
applicable law (whether federal or state and including, without limitation, any
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law), after taking into account, among other
things, such Guarantor's right of contribution and indemnification from each
other Credit Party under applicable law or the Contribution Agreement.

     2. Joint and Several Liability.

          (a) Each of the Guarantors is accepting joint and several liability
     hereunder in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided
     by the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly
     and indirectly, of each of the Borrowers and Guarantors and in
     consideration of the undertakings of each of the Guarantors to accept joint
     and several liability for the obligations of each of the Borrowers.

          (b) Each of the Guarantors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably
     and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a
     co-obligor, joint and several liability with the other Guarantors with
     respect to the payment and performance of all of the Guaranteed
     Obligations, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the
     Guaranteed Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each
     of the Guarantors without preferences or distinction among them.

          (c) If and to the extent that any of the Borrowers or Guarantors shall
     fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when
     due or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms
     thereof, then in each such event, the other Guarantors will make such
     payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation.

     3. Obligations Unconditional.

     The obligations of each of the Guarantors under Section 1 hereof are
absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity,
regularity or enforceability of any of the Credit Documents or any Lender
Hedging Agreement or agreement pertaining to Bank Products (except to the extent
the scope of the Guaranteed Obligations are affected thereby), or any other
agreement or instrument referred to therein, or any substitution, release or
exchange of any other guaranty of or security for any of the Guaranteed
Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor
other than the payment and discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations in full, it
being the intent of this Section 3 that the obligations of each Guarantor
hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional

<PAGE>

under any and all circumstances. Each Guarantor agrees that it shall have no
right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against any
Borrower or any other Guarantor of the Obligations for amounts paid under this
Guaranty Agreement until all of the Credit and Collateral Termination Events
have occurred. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed
that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the occurrence of any one or more
of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of any Guarantor
hereunder which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:

               (i) at any time or from time to time, without notice to any
          Guarantor, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of
          the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or
          compliance shall be waived;

               (ii) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of any of
          the Credit Agreement, the Credit Documents, any Lender Hedging
          Agreement or agreement pertaining to Bank Products or any other
          agreement or instrument referred to in the Credit Agreement, the
          Credit Documents or any Lender Hedging Agreement or agreement
          pertaining to Bank Products shall be done or omitted;

               (iii) the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be
          accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be modified,
          supplemented or amended in any respect by the parties thereto in
          accordance with the terms thereof, or any right under any of the
          Credit Agreement, the Credit Documents, any Lender Hedging Agreement
          or agreement pertaining to Bank Products or any other agreement or
          instrument referred to in the Credit Agreement, the Credit Documents
          or any Lender Hedging Agreement or agreement pertaining to Bank
          Products shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the
          Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or
          exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;

               (iv) any Lien granted to, or in favor of, the Agent or any Lender
          or Lenders as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall
          fail to attach or be perfected; or

               (v) any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be determined to be
          void or voidable (including, without limitation, for the benefit of
          any creditor of any Guarantor) or shall be subordinated to the claims
          of any Person (including, without limitation, any creditor of any
          Guarantor).

With respect to its obligations hereunder, each Guarantor hereby expressly
waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices
whatsoever (except to the extent expressly elsewhere provided for in the Credit
Agreement or the other Credit Documents), to the extent permitted by law, and
any requirement that the Agent or any Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy
or proceed against any Person under any of the Credit Agreement, the Credit
Documents, any Lender Hedging Agreement or agreement pertaining to Bank Products
or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Credit Agreement, the
Credit Documents or any Lender Hedging Agreement or agreement pertaining to Bank
Products, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security
for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

<PAGE>

     4. Reinstatement.

     The obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty Agreement shall be
automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by
or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded
or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or
reorganization or otherwise, and each Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify
the Agent and each Lender on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel actually incurred,
subject to Section 14.7 of the Credit Agreement) incurred by the Agent or such
Lender in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such
costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such
payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under
any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

     5. Certain Additional Waivers.

     Each Guarantor further agrees that it shall have no right of recourse to
security for the Guaranteed Obligations, except through the exercise of the
rights of subrogation pursuant to Section 3 hereof or pursuant to the
Contribution Agreement.

     6. Remedies.

     Each Guarantor agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, as
between such Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Agent and the Lenders, on the
other hand, the Guaranteed Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and
payable as provided in Section 11.2 of the Credit Agreement (and shall be deemed
to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in
said Section 11.2) for purposes of Section 1 hereof notwithstanding any stay,
injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing the
Guaranteed Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against
any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or the Guaranteed
Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), the
Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person)
shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of said
Section 1.

     7. Limitation on Guaranteed Obligations.

     Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any
other of the Credit Documents or Lender Hedging Agreements or agreement
pertaining to Bank Products, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall
be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not
render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance under applicable law
(whether federal or state and including, without limitation, Section 548 of the
Bankruptcy Code), after taking into account, among other things, such Borrower's
right of contribution and indemnification from each other Credit Party under
applicable law or the Contribution Agreement.

<PAGE>

     8. Representations, etc.

          (a) The guaranty in this Guaranty Agreement is a continuing guaranty,
     and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising;

          (b) Each Guarantor hereby represents and warrants that it is duly
     organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
     jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, as the case may be, and
     in each other jurisdiction in which the failure to be so qualified could be
     reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

          (c) Each Guarantor further represents and warrants that it has the
     power and authority to enter into this Guaranty Agreement and to perform
     its obligations and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and
     has by proper action duly authorized the execution and delivery of this
     Guaranty Agreement; and

          (d) Each Guarantor further represents and warrants that this Guaranty
     Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such
     Guarantor enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects
     of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar
     laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally and general
