conditions set forth below.

     2.    Services, etc. (a) BRS hereby agrees during the term of this
engagement to assist, advise and consult with the respective Boards of Directors
and management of Holding and the Company and their respective subsidiaries in
such manner and on such business, management and financial matters, and provide
such other financial and managerial advisory services, as may be reasonably
requested from time to time by the Boards of Directors of Holding and the
Company (the "Continuing Services"), including but not limited to assistance in:

     (i)   establishing and maintaining banking, legal and other business
     relationships for the Company and its subsidiaries;

<PAGE>

     (ii)  developing and implementing corporate and business strategy and
     planning for the Company and its subsidiaries, including plans and programs
     for improving operating, marketing and financial performance and budgeting
     of future corporate investments; and

     (iii) arranging future debt and equity financings and refinancings.

     (b)   BRS hereby agrees during the term of this engagement to provide
the Company and Holding financial advisory, investment banking and other similar
services (the "Transaction Services") with respect to any proposal for an
acquisition, merger, recapitalization or any other similar transaction directly
or indirectly involving Holding the Company and their subsidiaries and any other
person or entity (collectively, "Add-on Transactions").

     (c)   Holding and the Company will furnish BRS with such information
as BRS believes appropriate to its engagement hereunder (all such information so
furnished being referred to herein as the "Information"). Holding and the
Company recognize and confirm that (i) BRS will use and rely primarily on the
Information and on information available from generally recognized public
sources in performing the services to be performed hereunder and (ii) BRS does
not assume responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the Information
and such other information.

     (d)   As used in this Agreement, "affiliate" means, with respect to any
person or entity, any other person or entity directly or indirectly
controlling, controlled by or under common control with such first person or
entity and "control" means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power
to direct or cause the direction of the management policies of a person or
entity by reason of ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.

     (e)   Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, the
following services are specifically excluded from the definitions of "Consulting
Services" and "Transaction Services":

     (i)   Accounting services rendered to Holding, the Company or BRS by
     an independent accounting firm or accountant (i.e., an accountant who is
     not an employee of BRS);

     (ii)  Legal services to Holding, the Company or BRS by an independent
     law firm or attorney (i.e., an attorney who is not an employee of BRS);
     and

     (iii) Actuarial services rendered to Holding, the Company or BRS by an
     independent actuarial firm or actuary (i.e., an actuary who is not an
     employee of BRS).

     3.    Compensation; Payment of Expenses. (a) The Company agrees to pay
to BRS, as compensation for services rendered and to be rendered under this
Agreement pursuant to Section 2 hereof by BRS hereunder, a fee of $500,000 per
year (the "Continuing Services Fee") commencing upon the date of this Agreement,
one

                                        2

<PAGE>

quarter of which shall be payable quarterly in advance on the first day of each
of January, April, July and October. Any Continuing Services Fees due for the
period commencing on the date of this Agreement through March 31, 2003 shall be
payable on the date hereof. Such Continuing Services Fee may be increased with
the approval of a majority of the members of the Company's Board of Directors
who are not employees of Holding, the Company, BRS or any affiliate of BRS (the
"Disinterested Directors") but may not be decreased without the prior written
consent of BRS.

     (b)   As used in this Agreement, "Designated Director" means an
employee of BRS elected to serve on the Board of Directors of Holding or the
Company or any of their affiliates. If an employee of BRS is appointed to an
executive management position (or a position of comparable responsibility),
whether in addition to or other than as a Designated Director, in the Company or
Holding, then for the period of such employee's service in such position the
Continuing Services Fee shall be increased by an amount to be determined by BRS,
such amount not to exceed 100% of the Continuing Services Fee in effect at such
time.

     (c)   The Company agrees to pay to BRS upon consummation of any Add-on
Transaction, as compensation for Transaction Services rendered by BRS hereunder
with respect to such Add-on Transaction, a cash fee equal to 1.0% of the
Transaction Value of such Add-on Transaction (the "Add-on Fee"). Payment by the
Company of an Add-on Fee in excess of 1.0% of the Transaction Value of the
Add-on Transaction shall require the approval of a majority of the Disinterested
Directors, provided that an Add-on Fee shall not be payable in connection with
the sale by way of merger or otherwise of all or substantially all of the
outstanding shares of capital stock of Holding or the sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of Holding and its subsidiaries. As used herein,
the term "Transaction Value" means the total value of the Add-on Transaction,
including, without limitation, the aggregate amount of the cash funds or other
securities required to complete the Add-on Transaction (excluding any fees
payable pursuant to this Section 3(c)) including the amount of any indebtedness,
preferred stock or similar items assumed, refinanced or left outstanding. For
purposes of calculating the Add-on Fee, the value of any securities included in
the Transaction Value will be determined by the average of the last sales prices
for such securities on the five trading days ending five days prior to the
consummation of the Add-on Transaction, provided that if such securities do not
have an existing public trading market, the value of the securities shall be
their fair market value as mutually agreed between the Company and BRS on the
day prior to consummation of the Add-on Transaction.

     (d)   The Company shall pay directly or reimburse BRS for such
reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket expenses ("Expenses") as may be
incurred by BRS and its employees and agents in the course or on account of
rendering any services hereunder, including but not limited to any fees and
expenses of any legal, accounting or other professional advisors to BRS engaged
in connection with the services being provided hereunder and any expenses
incurred by any Designated Director in connection with the performance of his or
her duties. BRS may submit monthly expense statements, which shall be payable
within thirty days.

     4.    Pro Rata Payment. Each of Holding, the Company, BRS and CD&R
hereto acknowledges that Holding and the Company entered into an Amended and
Restated Consulting Agreement with CD&R, dated January 1, 2001 (the "CD&R
Agreement"), and that pursuant to the terms of such agreement, Holding and the
Company shall be obligated to make payments to CD&R of the fees and expenses set
forth therein. Each of Holding, the Company, BRS and CD&R hereto agree that
payments required to be made to BRS under this Agreement and payments required
to be made to CD&R under the CD&R Agreement shall be made pro rata and neither
BRS nor CD&R shall receive a preference or priority with respect to such payment
unless BRS and CD&R otherwise agree in writing or unless this Agreement or the
CD&R Agreement has terminated in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof,
respectively.

     5.    Term, etc. (a) This Agreement shall be in effect until, and
shall terminate upon, February 12, 2013, and thereafter, will be extended for
successive one year periods. This Agreement may be earlier terminated by either
party hereto upon 30 days' prior written notice to the other party hereto. The
provisions of this Agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement,
except for the provisions of Section 1, Section 2(b), Section 2(a), the first
sentence of Section 2(c) and (solely as to any portion of any Continuing
Services Fee, any Add-on Fee or any Expense not paid or reimbursed prior to such
termination and not required to be paid or reimbursed thereafter pursuant to
Section 5(c) hereof) Section 3 hereof.

     (b)   Upon any consolidation or merger, or any conveyance, transfer or
lease of all or substantially all of the assets of Holding or the Company as an
entirety, the successor corporation formed by such consolidation or into which
Holding or the Company is merged or to which such conveyance, transfer or lease
is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, Holding or the Company under
this Agreement with the same effect as if such successor corporation has been a
party thereto. No such consolidation, merger or conveyance, transfer or lease of
all or substantially all of the assets of Holding or the Company shall have the
effect of terminating this Agreement or of releasing Holding or the Company or
any such successor corporation from its obligations hereunder.

     (c)   Upon any termination of this Agreement, any accrued and unpaid
installment of the Continuing Services Fee or portion thereof (pro rated, with
respect to the month in which such termination occurs, for the portion of such
month that precedes such termination), any accrued and unpaid Add-on Fee or
portion thereof and any unpaid and unreimbursed Expenses that shall have been
incurred prior to such termination (whether or not such Expenses shall then have
become payable), shall be immediately paid or reimbursed, as the case may be, by
the Company. In the event of the liquidation of the Company, all amounts due BRS
hereunder shall be paid to BRS before any liquidating distributions or similar
payments are made to stockholders of Holding or the Company.

     6.    Indemnification. (a) Holding and the Company confirm their
obligations pursuant to the Indemnification Agreement, dated as of the date of
this Agreement (the "Indemnification Agreement"), among Holding, the Company,
BRS and

                                        4

<PAGE>

BRS Fund II, as the same may be amended, waived, modified or supplemented from
time to time in accordance with the terms thereof. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Holding and the Company confirm and agree that (a)
Holding and the Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless BRS, the BRS
Fund (as defined in the Indemnification Agreement), BRSE (as defined in the
Indemnification Agreement) and each of the respective directors, officers,
principals, members, partners, employees, agents, advisors, representatives,
affiliates and controlling persons (within the meaning of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended) of BRS, the BRS Fund and BRSE (collectively, "Indemnitees")
from and against any and all claims, obligations, liabilities (joint or
several), causes of action, actions, suits, proceedings, investigations,
judgments, decrees, losses, damages, fees, costs and expenses (including without
limitation interest, penalties and fees and disbursements of attorneys,
accountants, investment bankers and other professional advisors) (collectively,
"Obligations"), whether incurred with respect to third parties or otherwise, in
any way resulting from, arising out of or in connection with, based upon or
relating to, the performance of the services contemplated hereby, except to the
extent that any such Obligation is found in a final judgment by a court having
jurisdiction from which no further appeal may be taken to have resulted from the
gross negligence or intentional misconduct of BRS, (b) no Indemnitee shall have
any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to
Holding, the Company or their respective security holders or creditors with
respect to any Obligation in any way resulting from, arising out of or in
connection with, based upon or relating to, the performance of the services
contemplated hereby, except to the extent that any such Obligation is found in a
final judgment by a court having jurisdiction from which no further appeal may
be taken to have resulted from the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of
BRS, and (c) the rights of each Indemnitee to be indemnified under any
agreement, document, certificate or instrument or applicable law are independent
of and in addition to any rights of such Indemnitee under any other agreement,
document, certificate or instrument or applicable law.

     (b)   The Company hereby agrees to advance costs and expenses,
including attorneys' fees, incurred by BRS (acting on its own behalf or, if
requested by any such Indemnitee other than itself, on behalf of such
Indemnitee) or any Indemnitee in defending any claim relating to any Obligation
in advance of the final disposition of such claim within 30 days of receipt from
BRS of (i) a notice setting forth the amount of such costs and expenses (a
"Payment Notice") and (ii) an undertaking by or on behalf of BRS or such
Indemnitee to repay amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined
that BRS or such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as
authorized by this Agreement. BRS may submit Payment Notices to the Company
monthly.

     7.    Independent Contractor Status. The parties agree that BRS shall
perform services hereunder as an independent contractor, retaining control over
and responsibility for its own operations and personnel. Neither BRS nor any of
its employees or agents shall, solely by virtue of the Agreement or the
arrangements hereunder, be considered employees or agents of Holding or the
Company nor shall any of them have authority to contract in the name of or bind
the Company or Holding, except (a) to the extent that any professional employee
of BRS may be serving as an officer of the Company pursuant to Section 3(b)
hereof and (b) as expressly agreed to in

                                        5

writing by Holding or the Company. Any duties of BRS arising out of its
engagement to perform services hereunder shall be owed solely to Holding and the
Company.

     8.    Notices. Any notice or other communication required or permitted
to be given or made under this Agreement by one party to the other parties shall

of America located in the State, City and County of New York solely in respect
of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement, and
hereby waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or
proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement hereof, that it is not subject

unless set forth in writing and duly executed by the party or Indemnitee against
whom enforcement of the amendment, modification, supplement, discharge or waiver
is sought (and in the case of Holding and the Company, approved by resolution of
the Boards of Directors of Holding and the Company). Any such waiver shall
constitute a waiver only with respect to the specific matter described in such
writing and shall in no way impair the rights of the party or Indemnitee
granting such waiver in any other respect or at any other time. Neither the
waiver by any of the parties hereto or any Indemnitee of a breach of or a
default under any of the provisions of this Agreement, nor the failure by any
party hereto or any Indemnitee on one or more occasions, to enforce any of the
provisions of this Agreement or to exercise any right, powers or privilege
hereunder, shall be construed as a waiver of any other breach or default of a
similar nature, or as a waiver of any of such provisions, rights, power or
privileges hereunder. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and
are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that any party or Indemnitee may
otherwise have at law or in equity or otherwise.

SECTION 2.   CREDIT FACILITIES

     Subject to the terms and conditions of, and in reliance upon the
representations and warranties made in, this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents, Lenders severally agree to the extent and in the manner hereinafter
set forth to make their respective Pro Rata shares of the Revolver Commitments
available to Borrowers, in an aggregate amount of $125,000,000 under the
Revolver Commitments, as follows:

     2.1. REVOLVER FACILITY

          2.1.1. Revolver Loans. Each Lender agrees, severally to the extent of
its Revolver Commitment and not jointly with the other Lenders, upon the terms
and subject to the conditions set forth herein, to make Revolver Loans to
Borrowers on any Domestic Business Day during the period from the date hereof
through the Domestic Business Day before the last day of the Committed Term, not
to exceed in aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time such Lender's
Revolver Commitment at such time, which Revolver Loans may be repaid and
reborrowed in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided,
however, that Lenders shall have no obligation to Borrowers whatsoever to make
any Revolver Loan on or after the Commitment Termination Date or if at the time
of the proposed funding thereof the aggregate principal amount of all of the
Revolver Loans and Pending Revolver Loans then outstanding exceeds, or would
exceed after the funding of such Revolver Loan, the Borrowing Base. Each
Borrowing of Revolver Loans shall be funded by each Lender in an amount equal to
its Pro Rata share thereof (except for Revolver Loans funded by Wachovia as
Settlement Loans). The Revolver Loans shall bear interest as set forth in
Section 3.1 hereof. Each Revolver Loan shall, at the option of Borrowers, be
made or continued as, or converted into, part of one or more Borrowings that,
unless specifically provided herein, shall consist entirely of Base Rate Loans
or Euro-Dollar Loans.

          2.1.2. Out-of-Formula Loans. If the unpaid balance of Revolver
Loans outstanding at any time should exceed the Borrowing Base at such time (an
"Out-of-Formula Condition"), such Revolver Loans shall nevertheless constitute
Obligations that are secured by Collateral and entitled to all of the benefits
of the Credit Documents. If Lenders are willing in their sole and absolute
discretion to make Out-of-Formula Loans, such Out-of-Formula Loans shall be
payable on demand and shall bear interest at the Default Rate; provided that, if
Lenders do make Out-of-Formula Loans, neither Agent nor any Lender shall be
deemed thereby to have changed the limits of the Borrowing Base or be obligated
to honor future requests for Revolver Loans when an Out-of-Formula Condition
exists or would result therefrom.

          2.1.3. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Revolver Loans
shall be used by each Borrower solely for one or more of the following purposes:
(i) to pay any Debt that is secured by a Lien upon any of the Collateral,
including Debt outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement; (ii) to redeem,
to the extent not

                                     - 36 -

<PAGE>

redeemed with the proceeds of the New Senior Notes, the remaining unpaid amount
of the Existing Subordinated Notes; (iii) to pay the fees and transaction
expenses associated with the closing of the transactions described herein; (iv)
to pay any of the Obligations; (v) in the case of Factors, solely to pay the
purchase price for Accounts purchased from Remington; and (vi) to make
expenditures for other lawful corporate purposes of each Borrower to the extent
such expenditures are not prohibited by this Agreement or Applicable Law. In no
event may any Revolver Loan proceeds be used by a Borrower to purchase or to
carry, or to reduce, retire or refinance any Debt incurred, or to reduce, retire
or refinance any Debt incurred to purchase or carry, any Margin Stock or for any
related purpose that violates the provisions of Regulations T, U or X of the
Board of Governors; or to fund any Distribution except to the extent that the
funding thereof with the proceeds of the Revolvers Loans is expressly permitted
by Section 10.2.7. If any Revolver Loans are funded on any date that there is
outstanding any amount owing by Factors to Remington, then such Revolver Loans
shall be deemed to have been disbursed for the benefit of Factors in payment of
such unpaid amount owed by Factors to Remington, regardless of whether or not
the proceeds of such Revolver Loans are disbursed to an account of Factors or
Remington.

          2.1.4. Revolver Notes. The Revolver Loans made by each Lender
and interest accruing thereon shall be evidenced by the records of Agent and
such Lender and by the Revolver Note payable to such Lender, which shall be
executed by each Borrower, completed in conformity with this Agreement and
delivered to such Lender on the Closing Date. All outstanding principal amounts
and accrued interest under the Revolver Loans shall be due and payable as set
forth in Section 5.2 hereof.

          2.1.5. Adjustments to Advance Rates. Each Borrower
acknowledges that the Applicable Accounts Percentage and the Applicable
Inventory Percentage have been established based upon Agent's initial
determination of the loan value of each Borrower's Eligible Accounts and
Eligible Inventory as of the date of this Agreement. Agent may from time to time
adjust the Applicable Accounts Percentage or the Applicable Inventory
Percentage, or both, and any such adjustment shall become effective immediately
upon Agent's giving notice thereof to Borrowers; provided, however, that no
increase in the Applicable Accounts Percentage above the level in effect on the
Closing Date shall be authorized unless approved by all Lenders in writing; any
increase in the Applicable Inventory Percentage shall not be authorized unless
approved by the Supermajority Lenders in writing, except for an adjustment to
the Applicable Inventory Percentage to a level less than or equal to the level
in effect on the Closing Date, as contemplated in the definition of "Applicable
Inventory Percentage"; and Agent shall in all events make any adjustments to the
Applicable Accounts Percentage if and to the extent directed to do so in writing
by all Lenders, and any adjustments to the Applicable Inventory Percentage if
and to the extent directed to do so in writing by the Supermajority Lenders.

          2.1.6. Voluntary Reductions of Revolver Commitments. The
Borrowers shall have the right to reduce the amount of the Revolver Commitments
at any time and from time to time upon written notice to Agent of such
reduction, which notice shall specify the amount of such reduction shall be
irrevocable once given, and shall be given at least 10 Domestic Business Days
prior to the date of such reduction; provided, however, that any partial
reduction shall be made in an amount not less than $5,000,000 and in the
integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. The effective date of any
voluntary reduction of the Revolver Commitments shall be 10 Domestic Business
Days after such notice is received by Agent. Each such voluntary reduction shall
be applied ratably among the Lenders' Revolver Commitments. If on the effective
date of any such reduction in the Revolver Commitments and after giving effect
thereto an Out-of-Formula Condition exists, then the provisions of Section
5.2.1(iii) hereof shall apply, except that such repayment shall be due
immediately upon such effective date without further notice to or demand upon
Borrowers. If the Revolver Commitments are reduced to zero, then such reduction
shall be deemed a termination of the Revolver

                                     - 37 -

<PAGE>

Commitments by Borrowers pursuant to Section 6.2.2 hereof. The Revolver
Commitments once reduced may not be reinstated without the written consent of
all Lenders.

     2.2. RESERVED

     2.3. LC FACILITY.

          2.3.1. Issuance of Letters of Credit. Subject to all of the terms and
conditions hereof, LC Issuer agrees, during the Committed Term, to issue one or
more Letters of Credit on a Borrower's request therefor from time to time:

               (i)     Whenever a Borrower desires that Letter of Credit be
     issued for a Borrower's account, Borrowers shall deliver to LC Issuer a
     Letter of Credit Request for the issuance of such Letter of Credit not
     later than 5 Domestic Business Days prior to the proposed date of issuance
     of the Letter of Credit, such request to be irrevocable and to specify the
     original face amount of the Letter of Credit requested, the effective date
     (which date shall be a Domestic Business Day) of issuance of such requested
     Letter of Credit, the date on which such requested Letter of Credit is to
     expire (which date shall be at least one Domestic Business Day prior to the
     last day of the Committed Term), the purpose for which such Letter of
     Credit is to be issued and the name and address of the beneficiary of the
     requested Letter of Credit. If so requested by LC Issuer, Borrowers shall
     attach to such notice the form of the proposed Letter of Credit that a
     Borrower requests be issued. Letters of Credit may be requested by
     Borrowers only if such Letters of Credit are to be used to support
     obligations of a Borrower incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business,
     including worker's compensation and other insurance obligations of a
     Borrower on a standby basis or for such other purposes as Agent may approve
     from time to time in writing.

               (ii)    The obligation of LC Issuer to issue any Letter of Credit
     is subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent contained in
     Section 11 hereof and the following additional conditions precedent, all in
     a manner satisfactory to LC Issuer: (a) Borrowers shall have delivered to
     LC Issuer, at such times and in such manner as LC Issuer or Agent may
     prescribe, an LC Application in form and substance satisfactory to LC
     Issuer for the issuance of Letter of Credit and such other documents as may
     be required pursuant to the terms thereof; (b) no Default or Event of
     Default exists at the time of the request for the issuance of the proposed
     Letter of Credit or on the issuance date or after giving effect thereto;
     (c) Agent shall have determined that, after giving effect to the issuance
     of the requested Letter of Credit and all other unissued Letters of Credit
     for which an LC Application has been submitted to LC Issuer, the LC
     Obligations would not exceed $15,000,000, no Out-of-Formula Condition would
     exist, and, if no Revolver Loans are then outstanding, the LC Obligations
     do not exceed the Borrowing Base; (d) the currency in which payment is to
     be made under the requested Letter of Credit is U.S. Dollars; (e) the
     expiry date of the requested Letter of Credit occurs at least 1 Domestic
     Business Day prior to the last day of the Committed Term and all of the
     other terms, as well as the form of the requested Letter of Credit, are
     acceptable to LC Issuer; and (f) the issuance of the requested Letter of
     Credit would not cause all LC Obligations then outstanding to exceed any
     limit imposed by law or regulation upon LC Issuer. Promptly after the
     issuance of each Letter of Credit, LC Issuer shall give Agent notice of the
     issuance thereof and Agent shall give each Lender notice of such issuance.
     In determining whether to honor any request for a drawing under a Letter of
     Credit, LC Issuer shall have no obligation to any Lender other than to
     confirm that any certificates or other documents required to be delivered
     under Letter of Credit in connection with such

                                     - 38 -

<PAGE>

     drawing have been presented and appear on their face to comply with the
     requirements of the Letter of Credit.

               (iii)   Borrowers jointly and severally agree to reimburse LC
     Issuer for any draw under each Letter of Credit as hereinafter provided and
     to pay to Agent, for the benefit of LC Issuer, the amount of all other
     liabilities and obligations payable to LC Issuer under or in connection
     with such Letter of Credit immediately when due, irrespective of any claim,
     setoff, defense or other right that a Borrower may have at any time against
     LC Issuer or any other Person. If LC Issuer shall pay any amount under a
     Letter of Credit, then Borrowers shall be jointly and severally obligated
     to pay to LC Issuer, in U.S. Dollars on the first Domestic Business Day
     following the date on which payment was made by LC Issuer under such Letter
     of Credit (the "Reimbursement Date"), an amount equal to the amount paid by
     LC Issuer under such Letter of Credit together with interest from and after
     the date of LC Issuer's payment under such Letter of Credit until payment
     in full is made by Borrowers at a variable rate per annum in effect from
     time to time hereunder for Revolver Loans constituting Base Rate Loans.
     Each Borrower assumes all risks of the acts, omissions or misuses of any
     Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof. The obligation of Borrowers to
     reimburse LC Issuer for any payment under any Letter of Credit shall be
     absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid without regard to
     any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any LC
     Documents; the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which
     a Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary of any Letter of
     Credit or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom
     any such transferee may be acting), LC Issuer, Agent, any Lender or any
     other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of
     Credit, any of the LC Documents, the transactions contemplated herein or
     any unrelated transaction; any draft, certificate or any other document
     presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent,
     invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being
     untrue or inaccurate in any respect; the surrender or impairment of any
     security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of
     the Credit Documents; payment by the LC Issuer under any Letter of Credit
     against presentation of any draft or certificate that does not comply with
     the terms of such Letter of Credit, except payment resulting from the gross
     negligence or willful misconduct of the LC Issuer; or any other
     circumstances or happenings whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of
     the foregoing, except circumstances or happenings resulting from the gross
     negligence or willful misconduct of the LC Issuer. If any LC Obligations
     are not repaid in accordance with the applicable LC Reimbursement Agreement
     or this Section 2.3.1(iii), then Agent shall be authorized (but not
     required) to make a Settlement Loan in the amount of such payment and to
     disburse the proceeds thereof to the LC Issuer, and notwithstanding the
     occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default at the time
     of such payment, such Settlement Loan shall be subject to the provisions of
     Section 4.1.3 and the absolute obligations of Lenders to pay for their
     respective participating interests in such Settlement Loan.

               (iv)    No Letter of Credit shall be extended or amended in any
     respect that is not solely ministerial, unless all of the conditions
     applicable for the issuance of a new Letter of Credit have been satisfied
     with respect to such Letter of Credit.

          2.3.2. Participations.

               (i)     Immediately upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit by
     LC Issuer, each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and
     unconditionally purchased and received, without recourse or warranty, an
     undivided interest and participation in such Letter of Credit, equal to
     such Lender's Pro Rata share of the face amount thereof, and in all LC
     Obligations with respect thereto (other than

                                     - 39 -

<PAGE>

     amounts owing to LC Issuer under Section 3.2.4 hereof), and any security
     therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto; provided, however, that if LC
     Issuer shall have received written notice from a Lender on or before the
     Domestic Business Day immediately prior to the date of LC Issuer's issuance
     of a Letter of Credit that one or more of the conditions set forth in
     Section 11 or Section 2.3.1 is not then satisfied, LC Issuer shall have no
     obligation to issue (and shall not issue) the requested Letter of Credit or
     any other Letter of Credit until such notice is withdrawn in writing by
     that Lender or until the Required Lenders have effectively waived such
     condition in accordance with this Agreement. In no event shall LC Issuer be
     deemed to have notice or knowledge of the existence of any Default or Event
     of Default or the failure of any of the conditions in Section 11 or 2.3.1
     to be satisfied prior to its receipt of such notice from a Lender.

               (ii)    If LC Issuer makes any payment under a Letter of Credit
     and Borrowers do not repay or cause to be repaid the amount of such payment
     on the Reimbursement Date, LC Issuer shall promptly notify Agent, which
     shall promptly notify each Lender, of such payment and each Lender shall
     promptly (and in any event within 1 Domestic Business Day after its receipt
     of notice from Agent) and unconditionally pay to Agent, for the account of
     LC Issuer, in immediately available funds, the amount of such Lender's Pro
     Rata share of such payment, and Agent shall promptly pay such amounts to LC
     Issuer. If a Lender does not make its Pro Rata share of the amount of such
     payment available to Agent on a timely basis as herein provided, such
     Lender agrees to pay to Agent for the account of LC Issuer, forthwith on
     demand, such amount together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds
     Rate until paid. The failure of any Lender to make available to Agent for
     the account of LC Issuer such Lender's Pro Rata share of the LC Obligations
     shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make
     available to Agent its Pro Rata share of the LC Obligations, but no Lender
     shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make available
     to Agent its Pro Rata share of the LC Obligations on the date such payment
     is to be made.

               (iii)   Whenever LC Issuer receives a payment from or on behalf
     of any LC Obligor on account of any LC Obligations as to which Agent has
     previously received for the account of and paid to LC Issuer payment from a
     Lender pursuant to this Section 2.3.2, LC Issuer shall promptly pay to
     Agent for the benefit of such Lender, such Lender's Pro Rata share of the
     amount of such payment received from or on behalf of Borrowers. Each such
     payment shall be made by LC Issuer on the Domestic Business Day on which LC
     Issuer receives immediately available funds pursuant to the immediately
     preceding sentence, if received prior to 11:00 a.m. on such Domestic
     Business Day, and otherwise on the next succeeding Domestic Business Day.

               (iv)    Upon the request of any Lender, LC Issuer shall furnish
     to such Lender copies of any LC Documents and such other documentation as
     may be reasonably requested by such Lender.

               (v)     The obligation of each Lender to make payments to Agent
     for the account of LC Issuer in connection with LC Issuer's payment under a
     Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, not
     subject to any counterclaim, setoff, qualification or exception whatsoever,
     and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
     Agreement under all circumstances and irrespective of whether or not any LC
     Obligor may assert or have any claim for any lack of validity or
     unenforceability of this Agreement, any of the LC Documents or any other
     Credit Documents; the existence of any Default or Event of Default; any
     draft, certificate or other document presented under a Letter of Credit
     having been determined to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in
     any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any
     respect; the surrender or impairment of any Collateral for any of the
     Obligations or the performance or observation

                                     - 40 -

<PAGE>

     of any of the terms of any of the Credit Documents; payment by the LC
     Issuer under any Letter of Credit against presentation of any draft or
     certificate that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit,
     except for payment resulting from the gross negligence or willful
     misconduct of the LC Issuer; the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or
     other right that a Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary
     named in a Letter of Credit or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or
     any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the LC Issuer, any
     Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any
     LC Documents, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated
     transaction; or any other circumstances or happenings whatsoever, whether
     or not similar to any of the foregoing, except circumstances or happenings
     resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the LC Issuer.

               (vi)    Neither LC Issuer nor any of its officers, directors,
     employees or agents shall be liable to any Lender Group Member for any
     action taken or omitted to be taken under or in connection with any of the
     LC Documents except as a result of actual gross negligence or willful
     misconduct on the part of LC Issuer. LC Issuer does not assume any
     responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or breach by a
     Borrower or any other Person of any of its obligations under any of the LC
     Documents. LC Issuer does not make to Lenders any express or implied
     warranty, representation or guaranty with respect to the LC Obligations,
     the LC Documents, or any LC Obligor. LC Issuer shall not be responsible to
     any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or
     warranties contained in, or for the execution, validity, genuineness,
     effectiveness or enforceability of or any of the LC Documents; the
     validity, genuineness, enforceability, collectibility, value or sufficiency
     of any of the Collateral or the perfection of any Lien therein; or the
     assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business,
     creditworthiness or legal status of Borrowers, any other Obligor or any
     Account Debtor. In connection with its administration of and enforcement of
     rights or remedies under any of the LC Documents, LC Issuer shall be
     entitled to act, and shall be fully protected in acting upon, any
     certification, notice or other communication in whatever form believed by
     LC Issuer, in good faith, to be genuine and correct and to have been signed
     or sent or made by a proper Person. LC Issuer may consult with and employ
     legal counsel, accountants and other experts and to advise it concerning
     its rights, powers and privileges under the LC Documents and shall be
     entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in
     good faith reliance upon, any advise given by such experts. LC Issuer may
     employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection with any matter relating
     to the LC Documents and shall not be liable for the negligence, default or
     misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by LC Issuer
     with reasonable care. LC Issuer shall not have any liability to any Lender
     Group Member by reason of LC Issuer's refraining to take any action under
     any of the LC Documents without having first received written instructions
     from the Required Lenders to take such action.

          2.3.3. Cash Collateral Account. If any LC Obligations, whether or not
then due or payable, shall for any reason exist (x) at any time when an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, (y) on any date that Availability is
less than zero, or (z) on or at any time after the Commitment Termination Date,
then Borrowers shall, on demand by Agent or the Required Lenders, forthwith
deposit with Agent, in cash, an amount equal to the maximum aggregate amount of
all LC Obligations then outstanding. If Borrowers fail to make such deposit on
the first Domestic Business Day following Agent's or the Required Lenders'
demand therefor, Lenders may (and shall upon direction of the Required Lenders)
advance such amount as Revolver Loans (whether or not an Out-of-Formula
Condition is created thereby and irrespective of the occurrence of the
Commitment Termination Date). Such cash (together with any interest accrued
thereon) shall be held by Agent in the Cash Collateral Account and may be
invested, as so directed by Agent in its discretion, in Cash Equivalents. Each
Borrower hereby pledges to Agent and grants to Agent a security interest in all
Cash

                                     - 41 -

<PAGE>

Collateral held in the Cash Collateral Account from time to time and all
proceeds thereof, as security for the payment of all Obligations, whether or not
then due or payable. From time to time after cash is deposited in the Cash
Collateral Account, Agent shall apply Cash Collateral then held in the Cash
Collateral Account to the payment of any amounts, in such order as Agent may
elect, as shall be or shall become due and payable by Borrowers to either of
Agent or any Lender with respect to the LC Obligations which may be then
outstanding. No Borrower nor any other Person claiming by, through or under or
on behalf of such Borrower shall have any right to withdraw any of the Cash
Collateral held in the Cash Collateral Account, including any accrued interest,
provided that upon termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit and the
payment and satisfaction of all of the LC Obligations outstanding, any Cash
Collateral remaining in the Cash Collateral Account shall be returned to
Borrowers unless an Event of Default then exists (in which event Agent may apply
such Cash Collateral to the payment of any other Obligations outstanding, as
directed by Agent, with any surplus to be turned over to Borrowers).

          2.3.4. Indemnification.

               (i)     In addition to any other indemnity which Borrowers may
     have to Agent, LC Issuer or any Lender under this Agreement or any of the
     other Credit Documents and without limiting such other indemnification
     provisions, Borrowers hereby agree jointly and severally to indemnify each
     of the Lender Group Indemnitees from and to defend and hold each of the
     Lender Group Indemnitees harmless against any and all Indemnified Claims
     that any one or more of them may (other than as the result of their own
     gross negligence or willful misconduct) incur or be subject to as a
     consequence, directly or indirectly, of (x) the issuance of, payment or
     failure to pay or any performance or failure to perform under any Letter of
     Credit or LC Documents, or (y) any suit, investigation or proceeding as to
     which any Lender Group Indemnitee may become a party to as a consequence,
     directly or indirectly, of the issuance of any Letter of Credit or payment
     or failure to pay thereunder or (z) any action, suit or other proceeding to
     recover, set aside or reclaim any amount paid by or on behalf of Borrowers,
     or from any proceeds of Collateral, to or for the benefit of any Lender
     Group Indemnitee on account of any of the LC Obligations. This indemnity
     shall survive payment in full of the Obligations and termination of the
     Revolver Commitments.

               (ii)    Each Lender agrees to indemnify and defend each of the LC
     Issuer Indemnitees (to the extent that the LC Issuer Indemnitees are not
     reimbursed by Borrowers or any other Obligor, but without limiting the
     indemnification obligations of Borrowers under this Agreement), from and
     against, and to pay their Pro Rata share of, any and all Indemnified Claims
     that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any of the LC
     Issuer Indemnitees in any way related to or arising out of (x) LC Issuer's
     administration or enforcement of rights or remedies under any of the LC
     Documents or any of the transactions contemplated therein (including costs
     and expenses which each Borrower is obligated to pay under Section 15.2
     hereof), or (y) any Indemnified Claim against which each Borrower has
     indemnified LC Issuer Indemnitees pursuant to Section 2.3.4(i), provided
     that no Lender shall be liable to any of the LC Issuer Indemnitees for any
     of the foregoing to the extent that they result solely from the willful
     misconduct or gross negligence of such LC Issuer. This indemnity shall
     survive payment in full of the Obligations and termination of the Revolver
     Commitments.

SECTION  3.  INTEREST, FEES AND CHARGES

     3.1. INTEREST

          3.1.1. Rates of Interest. Each Borrower agrees to pay interest in
respect of all unpaid principal amounts of the Revolver Loans from the
respective dates such principal amounts are advanced until paid (whether at
stated maturity, on acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the
applicable rate indicated below:

               (i)     for Revolver Loans made or outstanding as Base Rate
     Loans, the Applicable Margin plus the Alternate Base Rate in effect from
     time to time; or

               (ii)    for Revolver Loans made or outstanding as Euro-Dollar
     Loans, the Applicable Margin plus the relevant Adjusted London Interbank
     Offered Rate for the applicable Interest Period selected by each Borrower
     in conformity with this Agreement.

     Upon determining the Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate for any
Interest Period requested by Borrowers, Agent shall promptly notify Borrowers
thereof by telephone and, if so requested by Borrowers, confirmed in writing.
Such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and
binding on all parties and for all purposes. The applicable rate of interest for
all Revolver Loans bearing interest based upon the Alternate Base Rate shall be
increased or decreased, as the case may be, by an amount equal to any increase
or decrease in the Alternate Base Rate, with such adjustments to be effective as
of the opening of business on the day that any such change in the Alternate Base
Rate becomes effective. Interest on each Revolver Loan shall accrue from and
including the date on which such Revolver Loan is made, converted to a Revolver
Loan of another Type or continued as a Euro-Dollar Loan to (but excluding) the
date of any repayment thereof; provided, however, that, if a Revolver Loan is
repaid on the same day made, one day's interest shall be paid on such Revolver
Loan. The Alternate Base Rate on the date of this Agreement is 4.25% per annum
and, therefore, the rate of interest in effect hereunder on such date, expressed
in simple interest terms, is 5.25% per annum with respect to any portion of the
Revolver Loans bearing interest as a Base Rate Loan.

          3.1.2. Conversions and Continuations.

               (i)     Each Borrower may on any Domestic Business Day, subject
     to the giving of a proper Notice of Conversion/Continuation as hereinafter
     described, elect (A) to continue all or any part of a Euro-Dollar Loan by
     selecting a new Interest Period therefor, to commence on the last day of
     the immediately preceding Interest Period, or (B) to convert all or any
     part of a Revolver Loan of one Type into a Revolver Loan of another Type;
     provided, however, that no outstanding Revolver Loans, or any part thereof,
     may be converted into or continued as Euro-Dollar Loans when any Default or
     Event of Default exists. Any conversion of a Euro-Dollar Loan into a Base
     Rate Loan shall be made on the last day of the Interest Period for such
     Euro-Dollar Loan. Any conversion or continuation made with respect to less
     than the entire outstanding balance of the Revolver Loans, must be
     allocated among Lenders on a pro rata basis, and the Interest Period for
     such Revolver Loans converted into or continued as Euro-Dollar Loans shall
     be coterminous for each Lender.

               (ii)    Whenever Borrowers desire to convert or continue
     Revolver Loans under Section 3.1.2(i), Borrowers shall give Agent written
     notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) substantially
     in the form of Exhibit C ("Notice of Conversion/Continuation"), signed by
     an authorized officer of a Borrower, at least 1 Domestic Business Day
     before the requested conversion

                                     - 43 -

<PAGE>

     date, in the case of a conversion into Base Rate Loans, and at least 3
     Domestic Business Days before the requested conversion or continuation
     date, in the case of a conversion into or continuation of Euro-Dollar
     Loans. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Agent
     shall notify each Lender in writing of the proposed conversion or
     continuation. Each such Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall be
     irrevocable and shall specify the aggregate principal amount of the
     Revolver Loans to be converted or continued, the date of such conversion or
     continuation (which shall be a Domestic Business Day) and whether the
     Revolver Loans are being converted into or continued as Euro-Dollar Loans
     (and, if so, the duration of the Interest Period to be applicable thereto)
     or Base Rate Loans. If, upon the expiration of any Interest Period in
     respect of any Euro-Dollar Loans Borrowers shall have failed to deliver the
     Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Borrowers shall be deemed to have
     elected to convert such Euro-Dollar Loans to Base Rate Loans.

          3.1.3. Interest Periods. In connection with the making or continuation
of, or conversion into, each Borrowing of Euro-Dollar Loans, Borrowers shall
select an interest period (each an "Interest Period") to be applicable to such
Euro-Dollar Loan, which Interest Period shall commence on the date such
Euro-Dollar Loan is made and shall end on a numerically corresponding day in the
first, second, third or sixth month thereafter; provided, however, that:

               (i)     the initial Interest Period for a Euro-Dollar Loan shall
     commence on the date of such Borrowing (including the date of any
     conversion from a Revolver Loan of another Type) and each Interest Period
     occurring thereafter in respect of such Revolver Loan shall commence on the
     date on which the next preceding Interest Period expires;

               (ii)    if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day
     that is not a Domestic Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on
     the next succeeding Domestic Business Day, provided that if any Interest
     Period in respect of Euro-Dollar Loans would otherwise expire on a day
     which is not a Domestic Business Day but is a day of the month after which
     no further Domestic Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period
     shall expire on the next preceding Domestic Business Day;

               (iii)   any Interest Period that begins on a day for which there
     is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of
     such Interest Period shall expire on the last Domestic Business Day of such
     calendar month;

               (iv)    no Interest Period with respect to any portion of
     principal of any Revolver Loan shall extend beyond a date on which each
     Borrower is required to make a scheduled payment of such portion of
     principal;

               (v)     no Interest Period shall extend beyond the last day of
     the Committed Term; and

               (vi)    there shall be no more than 10 Interest Periods in effect
     at any one time.

          3.1.4. Interest Rate Not Ascertainable. If Agent shall determine
(which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and
binding upon all parties) that on any date for determining the Adjusted London
Interbank Offered Rate for any Interest Period, by reason of any changes arising
after the date of this Agreement affecting the London interbank market or any
Lender's position in such market, adequate and fair means do not exist for
ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the
definition of Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate, then, and in any such
event, Agent shall forthwith give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to
Borrowers of such determination. Until Agent notifies Borrowers

                                     - 44 -

<PAGE>

that the circumstances giving rise to the suspension described herein no longer
exist, the obligation of Lenders to make Euro-Dollar Loans shall be suspended,
and such affected Revolver Loans then outstanding shall, at the end of the then
applicable Interest Period or at such earlier time as may be required by
Applicable Law, bear the same interest as Base Rate Loans.

          3.1.5. Default Rate of Interest. Interest shall accrue at the Default
Rate (i) with respect to any portion of the Obligations (and, to the extent
permitted by Applicable Law, all past due interest) that is not paid on the due
date thereof (whether due at stated maturity, on demand, upon acceleration or
otherwise) until paid in full; (ii) with respect to the principal amount of all
of the Obligations (and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, all past due
interest) upon the earlier to occur of (x) a Borrower's receipt of notice from
Agent of Required Lenders' election to charge the Default Rate based upon the
existence of any Event of Default (which notice Agent shall send only with the
consent or at the direction of the Required Lenders), whether or not
acceleration or demand for payment of the Obligations has been made, or (y) the
commencement by or against a Borrower of an Insolvency Proceeding; and (iii)
with respect to the principal amount of any Out-of-Formula Loans for so long as
any Out-of Formula Condition exists, whether or not demand for payment of such
Out-of-Formula Loans has been made by Agent. To the fullest extent permitted by
Applicable Law, the Default Rate shall apply and accrue on any judgment entered
with respect to any of the Obligations and to the unpaid principal amount of the
Obligations during the pendency of any Insolvency Proceeding of a Borrower. Each
Borrower acknowledges that the cost and expense to Agent and Lenders attendant
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default are difficult to ascertain or
estimate and that the Default Rate is a fair and reasonable estimate to
compensate Agent and Lenders for such added cost and expense.

     3.2. Fees. In consideration of Lenders' establishment of the Revolver
Commitments in favor of each Borrower, and Agent's agreement to serve as Agent
hereunder, Borrowers agree to pay the following fees:

          3.2.1. Unused Line Fee. Borrowers shall be jointly and severally
obligated to pay to Agent, for the account of Lenders, (i) if the Average
Revolver Facility Balance for any month (or portion thereof that this Agreement
is in effect is 50% or more of the aggregate Revolver Commitments in effect on
the first day of such month, a fee equal to 0.375% per annum of the amount by
which the Average Revolver Facility Balance for such month (or such portion
thereof) is less than the aggregate Revolver Commitments in effect on the first
day of such month, or (ii) if the Average Revolver Facility Balance for any
month (or portion thereof that this Agreement is in effect) is less than 50% of
the aggregate Revolver Commitment in effect on the first day of such month, a
fee equal to 0.500% per annum of the amount by which the Average Revolver
Facility Balance for such month (or such portion thereof) is less than the
aggregate Revolver Commitments in effect on the first day of such month. Such
fee shall be paid by Borrowers or debited by Agent as of the first day of the
following month; but if this Agreement is terminated on a day other than the
first day of a month, then any such fee payable for the month in which
termination shall occur shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

          3.2.2. Audit and Appraisal Fees. Borrowers shall be jointly and
severally obligated to reimburse Agent for all reasonable costs and expenses at
any time incurred by Agent in connection with all audits and appraisals of any
Obligor's books, records and Collateral and such other matters pertaining to any
Obligor as Agent shall reasonably deem appropriate.

          3.2.3. General Provisions. All fees shall be fully earned by
the identified recipient thereof pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Agreement on the due date thereof and, except as otherwise set forth herein or
required by Applicable Law, shall not be subject to rebate, refund or proration.
All fees

                                     - 45 -

<PAGE>

provided for in Section 3.2 are and shall be deemed to be for compensation for
services and are not, and shall not be deemed to be, interest or any other
charge for the use, forbearance or detention of money.

          3.2.4. LC Facility Fees. In consideration of the issuance of Letters
of Credit by LC Issuer and the purchase of participating interests therein by
Lenders, Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay the following fees:

               (i)     to Agent for the account of Lenders, for each Letter of
     Credit issued hereunder, a commitment fee at a per annum rate equal to the
     Applicable Margin for Euro-Dollar Loans times the daily average of the
     undrawn amount of such Letter of Credit. The foregoing fee shall be payable
     in arrears on the first day of each Fiscal Quarter and on the Commitment
     Termination Date. The rate at which the fee payable under this clause (i)
     is computed shall be increased by 2% per annum during any period in which
     the Default Rate shall be in effect;

               (ii)    to Agent for the account of LC Issuer, all customary
     fees, expenses and other charges payable in connection with the issuance,
     modification or amendment of any Letter of Credit; and

               (iii)   to Agent for the account of LC Issuer, a "fronting fee,"
     which shall be equal to 0.125% of the face amount of each Letter of Credit
     issued by LC Issuer, and which shall be payable at the time of issuance of
     such Letter of Credit. The amount of such fee shall be subject to change at
     any time by LC Issuer.

     3.3. Computation of Interest and Fees. All fees and other charges provided
for in this Agreement that are calculated as a per annum percentage of any
amount and all interest shall be calculated daily and shall be computed on the
actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days. For purposes of computing
interest and other charges hereunder, all Payment Items received by Agent and to
be applied to the Obligations shall be deemed applied by Agent and Lenders to
the Obligations (subject to final payment of such items) on the Domestic
Business Day following the Domestic Business Day on which Agent receives such
items.

     3.4. Reimbursement of Expenses. If (a) at any time or times regardless of
whether or not an Event of Default then exists, Agent incurs legal or accounting
fees or expenses or any other out-of-pocket costs or expenses in connection with
(i) the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement or any of the
other Credit Documents (including the negotiation, preparation or procurement of
the Real Property Documentation), any amendment of or modification of this
Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents; (ii) the administration of this
Agreement, or any of the other Credit Documents and the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby; (iii) any litigation, contest, dispute, suit,
proceeding or action (whether instituted by Agent, any Lender, an Obligor or any
other Person) in any way relating to the Collateral, the perfection or priority
or any of Agent's Liens the validity or enforceability of the Credit Documents
or the validity, allowance or amount of any of the Obligations; (iv) any attempt
to enforce any rights of Agent or any Lender or any Participant against any or
all Obligors or any other Person which may be obligated to either of Agent or
any Lender by virtue of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents,
including the Account Debtors; (v) any inspection or audit with respect to any
Obligor's books and records or any of the Collateral; (vi) any appraisal of any
of the Collateral; or (vii) any attempt to verify, protect, preserve, restore,
collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of or realize upon any Collateral;
(b) any Lender incurs any legal fees or expenses or any other out-of-pocket
costs or expenses in connection with the negotiation, preparation and execution
of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents; or (c) at any time an
Event of Default exists, any Lender incurs legal or accounting fees or expenses
or any other out-of-pocket costs or expenses in

                                     - 46 -

<PAGE>

connection with any attempt to enforce any rights of such Lender against any or
all Obligors or any other Person which may be obligated to such Lender by virtue
of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents; then all such reasonable
legal, accounting, and other costs and expenses shall be charged to Borrowers.
All amounts chargeable to Borrowers under this Section 3.4 shall be Obligations
secured by Collateral, shall be payable on demand to Agent for the account of
Agent or Lenders, as the case may be.

     3.5.  Bank Charges. Borrowers shall pay to Agent, on demand, any and all
fees, costs or expenses which Agent pays to a bank or other similar institution
arising out of or in connection with (i) the forwarding to Borrowers or any
other Person on behalf of Borrowers by Agent of proceeds of Revolver Loans made
by Lenders to each Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the depositing
for collection by Agent of any Payment Item received or delivered to Agent or
any Lender on account of the Obligations. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees
that Agent may charge such costs, fees and expenses to Borrowers based upon
Agent's good faith estimate of such costs, fees and expenses as they are
incurred by Agent.

     3.6.  Illegality. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
elsewhere in this Agreement, if (i) any change in any law or regulation or in
the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the
administration thereof shall make it unlawful for a Lender to make or maintain a
Euro-Dollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby
with respect to a Euro-Dollar Loan or (ii) at any time such Lender determines
that the making or continuance of any Euro-Dollar Loan has become impracticable
as a result of a contingency occurring after the date hereof which adversely
affects the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in such
market, then such Lender shall after such determination give Agent and Borrowers
notice thereof and may thereafter (1) declare that Euro-Dollar Loans will not
thereafter be made by such Lender, whereupon any request by Borrowers for a
Euro-Dollar Loan shall be deemed a request for a Base Rate Loan unless such
Lender's declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn (which declaration shall be
withdrawn promptly after the cessation of the circumstances described in clause
(i) or (ii) above); and (2) require that all outstanding Euro-Dollar Loans made
by such Lender be converted to Base Rate Loans, under the circumstances of
clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 3.6 insofar as such Lender determines the
continuance of Euro-Dollar Loans to be impracticable, in which event all such
Euro-Dollar Loans shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans as of the
date of a Borrower's receipt of the aforesaid notice from such Lender.

     3.7.  Increased Costs. If, by reason of (a) the introduction of or any
change (including any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve
requirements) in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation, or (b) the
compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other
Governmental Authority or quasi-governmental authority exercising control over
banks or financial institutions generally (whether or not having the force of
law):

               (i)     any Lender shall be subject after the date hereof to any
     Taxes, duty or other charge with respect to any Euro-Dollar Loan or its
     obligation to make Euro-Dollar Loans, or a change shall result in the basis
     of taxation of payment to any Lender of the principal of or interest on its
     Euro-Dollar Loans or its obligation to make Euro-Dollar Loans (except for
     Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section 5.10 (including Non-Excluded Taxes
     imposed solely by reason of any failure of such Lender to comply with its
     obligations under Section 5.10(b)) and changes in taxes measured by or
     imposed upon the overall net income, or franchise taxes, or taxes on
     overall capital or net worth, or branch taxes (in the case of such capital,
     net worth or branch taxes, imposed in lieu of overall net income taxes), of
     such Lender or its applicable lending office, branch, or any affiliate
     thereof); or

                                     - 47 -

<PAGE>

               (ii)    any reserve (including any imposed by the Board of
     Governors), special deposits or similar requirement against assets of,
     deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender
     shall be imposed or deemed applicable or any other condition affecting its
     Euro-Dollar Loans or its obligation to make Euro-Dollar Loans shall be
     imposed on such Lender or the London interbank market;

and as a result thereof there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender
of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Euro-Dollar Loans (except
to the extent already included in the determination of the applicable Adjusted
London Interbank Offered Rate for Euro-Dollar Loans), or there shall be a
reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender, then such Lender
shall, promptly after determining in good faith the existence or amount of any
such increased costs for which such Lender seeks payment hereunder, give
Borrowers notice thereof, describing in reasonable detail the nature and
calculation of such increased cost, and Borrowers shall from time to time, upon
written notice from and demand by such Lender (with a copy of such notice and
demand to Agent), pay to Agent for the account of such Lender, within 5 Domestic
Business Days after the date specified in such notice and demand, an additional
amount sufficient to indemnify such Lender against such increased costs. A
certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to Borrowers by
such Lender, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent
manifest error and if determined in good faith.

     If any Lender shall advise Agent at any time that, because of the
circumstances described hereinabove in this Section 3.7 or any other
circumstances arising after the date of this Agreement affecting such Lender or
the London interbank market or such Lender's position in such market, the
Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate, as determined by Agent, will not
adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of funding Euro-Dollar
Loans, then, and in any such event:

               (i)     Agent shall forthwith give notice (by telephone
     confirmed in writing) to Borrowers and the other Lenders of such event;

               (ii)    Borrowers' right to request and such Lender's
     obligation to make Euro-Dollar Loans shall be immediately suspended and
     Borrowers' right to continue a Euro-Dollar Loan as such beyond the then
     applicable Interest Period shall also be suspended, until each condition
     giving rise to such suspension no longer exists; and

               (iii)   such Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan as part of the
     requested Borrowing of Euro-Dollar Loans, which Base Rate Loan shall, for
     all purposes, be considered part of such Borrowing.

     For purposes of this Section 3.7, all references to a Lender shall be
deemed to include any bank holding company or bank parent of such Lender.

     3.8.  Capital Adequacy. If any Lender determines that after the date hereof
(a) the adoption of any Applicable Law regarding capital requirements for banks
or bank holding companies or the subsidiaries thereof, (b) any change in the
interpretation or administration of any such Applicable Law by any Governmental
Authority, central bank, or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or (c) compliance by such Lender or its holding company
with any request or directive of any such Governmental Authority, central bank
or comparable agency regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force
of law), has the effect of reducing the return on such Lender's capital to a
level below that which such Lender could have achieved (taking into
consideration such Lender's and its holding company's

                                     - 48 -

<PAGE>

policies with respect to capital adequacy immediately before such adoption,
change or compliance and assuming that such Lender's capital was fully utilized
prior to such adoption, change or compliance) but for such adoption, change or
compliance as a consequence of such Lender's commitment to make the Revolver
Loans pursuant hereto by any amount deemed by such Lender to be material:

               (i)     Agent shall promptly, after its receipt of a
     certificate from such Lender setting forth such Lender's determination of
     such occurrence, give notice thereof to Borrowers and the other Lenders;
     and

               (ii)    Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the account of such
     Lender, as an additional fee from time to time, on demand, such amount as
     such Lender certifies to be the amount reasonably calculated to compensate
     such Lender for such reduction.

     A certificate of such Lender claiming entitlement to compensation as set
forth above will be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Such
certificate will set forth the nature of the occurrence giving rise to such
compensation, the additional amount or amounts to be paid to such Lender
(including the basis for such Lender's determination of such amount), and the
method by which such amounts were determined. In determining such amount, such
Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution method. For purposes of
this Section 3.8 all references to a Lender shall be deemed to include any bank
holding company or bank parent of such Lender.

     3.9.  Funding Losses. Borrowers shall be jointly and severally obligated to
compensate each Lender, upon such Lender's written request (which request shall
set forth the basis for requesting such amounts and which request shall, absent
manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all of the parties
hereto), for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid
by such Lender to lenders of funds borrowed by such Lender to make or carry its
Euro-Dollar Loans to the extent not recovered by such Lender in connection with
the re-employment of such funds, but excluding any loss of profit or anticipated
return in respect of the Applicable Margin), which such Lender may sustain: (i)
if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) a Borrowing of, or
conversion to or continuation of, Euro-Dollar Loans does not occur on the date
specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/
Continuation (whether or not withdrawn), (ii) if any repayment (including any
conversions pursuant to Section 3.1.2 hereof) of any its Euro-Dollar Loans
occurs on a date that is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable
thereto, or (iii) if, for any reason, Borrowers default in their obligation to
repay Euro-Dollar Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement. For
purposes of this Section 3.9, all references to a Lender shall be deemed to
include any bank holding company or bank parent of such Lender. The calculations
of all amounts payable to any Lender under this Section 3.9 shall be made as
though such Lender had actually funded or committed to fund its Euro-Dollar Loan
through the purchase for an underlying deposit in an amount equal to the amount
of such Euro-Dollar Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant
Interest Period for such Euro-Dollar Loan; provided, however, a Lender may fund
its Euro-Dollar Loans in any manner it deems fit and the foregoing assumption
shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under this Section
3.9.

     3.10. Maximum Interest. Regardless of any provision contained in any of the
Credit Documents, in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the aggregate of
all amounts that are contracted for, charged or received by Agent or any Lender
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents and
that are deemed interest under Applicable Law exceed the highest rate
permissible under any Applicable Law. No agreements, conditions, provisions or
stipulations contained in this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or
the exercise by Agent of the right to accelerate the payment or the maturity of
all or any

                                     - 49 -

<PAGE>

portion of the Obligations, or the exercise of any option whatsoever contained
in any of the Credit Documents, or the prepayment by Borrowers of any of the
Obligations, or the occurrence of any contingency whatsoever, shall entitle
Agent or any Lender to charge or receive in any event, interest or any charges,
amounts, premiums or fees deemed interest by Applicable Law (such interest,
charges, amounts, premiums and fees referred to herein collectively as
"Interest") in excess of the Maximum Rate and in no event shall Borrowers be
obligated to pay Interest exceeding such Maximum Rate, and all agreements,
conditions or stipulations, if any, which may in any event or contingency
whatsoever operate to bind, obligate or compel Borrowers to pay Interest
exceeding the Maximum Rate shall be without binding force or effect, at law or
in equity, to the extent only of the excess of Interest over such Maximum Rate.
If any Interest is charged or received in excess of the Maximum Rate ("Excess"),
each Borrower acknowledges and stipulates that any such charge or receipt shall
be the result of an accident and bona fide error, and such Excess, to the extent
received, shall be applied first to reduce the principal Obligations and the
balance, if any, returned to Borrowers, it being the intent of the parties
hereto not to enter into a usurious or otherwise illegal relationship. The right
to accelerate the maturity of any of the Obligations does not include the right
to accelerate any Interest that has not otherwise accrued on the date of such
acceleration, and neither Agent nor any Lenders intend to collect any unearned
Interest in the event of any such acceleration. Each Borrower recognizes that,
with fluctuations in the rates of interest set forth in Section 3.1.1 of this
Agreement, and the Maximum Rate, such an unintentional result could
inadvertently occur. All monies paid to Agent or any Lender hereunder or under
any of the other Credit Documents, whether at maturity or by prepayment, shall
be subject to any rebate of unearned Interest as and to the extent required by
Applicable Law. By the execution of this Agreement, Borrowers covenant that (i)
the credit or return of any Excess shall constitute the acceptance by Borrowers
of such Excess, and (ii) no Borrower shall seek or pursue any other remedy,
legal or equitable, against Agent or any Lender, based in whole or in part upon
contracting for, charging or receiving any Interest in excess of the Maximum
Rate. For the purpose of determining whether or not any Excess has been
contracted for, charged or received by Agent or any Lender, all Interest at any
time contracted for, charged or received from Borrowers in connection with any
of the Credit Documents shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be
amortized, prorated, allocated and spread in equal parts throughout the full
term of the Obligations. Borrowers, Agent and Lenders shall, to the maximum
extent permitted under Applicable Law, (i) characterize any non-principal
payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as Interest and (ii) exclude
voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof. The provisions of this Section
3.10 shall be deemed to be incorporated into every Credit Document (whether or
not any provision of this Section is referred to therein). All such Credit
Documents and communications relating to any Interest owed by Borrowers and all
figures set forth therein shall, for the sole purpose of computing the extent of
Obligations, be automatically recomputed by Borrowers, and by any court
considering the same, to give effect to the adjustments or credits required by
this Section 3.10.

SECTION 4.   LOAN ADMINISTRATION

     4.1.  Manner of Borrowing and Funding Revolver Loans. Borrowings under the
Revolver Commitments established pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof shall be made
and funded as follows:

           4.1.1. Notice of Borrowing.

               (i)     Whenever a Borrower desires to make a Borrowing under
     Section 2.1 of this Agreement (other than a Borrowing resulting from a
     conversion or continuation pursuant to Section 3.1.2), Remington shall give
     Agent prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in
     writing) of such Borrowing request (a "Notice of Borrowing"), which shall
     be in the form of Exhibit D annexed hereto and signed by an authorized
     officer of Remington. Such Notice of

                                     - 50 -

<PAGE>

     Borrowing shall be given by Remington no later than 12:00 noon at the
     office of Agent designated by Agent from time to time (a) on the Domestic
     Business Day of the requested funding date of such Borrowing, in the case
     of Base Rate Loans, and (b) at least 3 Euro-Dollar Business Days prior to
     the requested funding date of such Borrowing, in the case of Euro-Dollar
     Loans. Notices received after 12:00 noon shall be deemed received on the
     next Domestic Business Day. The Revolver Loans made by each Lender on the
     Closing Date shall be made as Base Rate Loans and thereafter may be made or
     continued as or converted into Base Rate Loans or Euro-Dollar Loans. Each
     Revolver Loan (other than Settlement Loans) requested by Borrowers after
     the Closing Date shall be for an amount of $1,000,000 or integral multiples
     of $100,000 in excess of that amount, except for Revolver Loans deemed
     requested pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 4.1.1. Each Notice of
     Borrowing (or telephonic notice thereof) shall be irrevocable and shall
     specify (a) the principal amount of the Borrowing, (b) the date of
     Borrowing (which shall be a Domestic Business Day), (c) whether the
     Borrowing is to consist of Base Rate Loans or Euro-Dollar Loans, (d) in the
     case of Euro-Dollar Loans, the duration of the Interest Period to be
     applicable thereto, and (e) the account of Borrowers to which the proceeds
     of such Borrowing are to be disbursed. Borrowers may not request any
     Euro-Dollar Loans if a Default or Event of Default exists.

               (ii)    Unless payment is otherwise timely made by Borrowers, the
     becoming due of any amount required to be paid with respect to any of the
     Obligations (whether as principal, accrued interest, fees or other charges,
     including the repayment of any LC Obligations) shall be deemed irrevocably
     to be a request (without any requirement for the submission of a Notice of
     Borrowing) for Revolver Loans on the due date of, and in an aggregate
     amount required to pay, such Obligations, and the proceeds of such Revolver
     Loans may be disbursed by way of direct payment of the relevant Obligation
     and shall bear interest as Base Rate Loans. If Borrowers elect to establish
     one or more controlled disbursement accounts with any Lender that is a
     bank, then the presentation for payment of any check or other item of
     payment drawn on any such controlled disbursement account at a time when
     there are insufficient funds in such account to cover such check shall be
     deemed irrevocably to be a request (without any requirement for the
     submission of a Notice of Borrowing) for Revolver Loans on the date of such
     presentation and in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the items
     presented for payment, and the proceeds of such Revolver Loans may be
     disbursed directly to the controlled disbursement account and shall bear
     interest as Base Rate Loans. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any
     obligation to Borrowers to honor any deemed request for a Revolver Loan on
     or after the Commitment Termination Date or when an Out-of-Formula
     Condition exists or would result therefrom or when any condition precedent
     in Section 11 hereof is not satisfied, but may do so in the discretion of
     Agent (or at the direction of the Required Lenders) and without regard to
     the existence of, and without being deemed to have waived, any Default or
     Event of Default and regardless of whether such Revolver Loan is funded
     after the Commitment Termination Date.

               (iii)   As an accommodation to Borrowers, Agent and Lenders may
     permit telephonic requests for Borrowings and electronic transmittal of
     instructions, authorizations, agreements or reports to Agent by Borrowers;
     provided, however, that Borrowers shall confirm each such telephonic
     request for a Borrowing of Euro-Dollar Loans or for a single Borrowing of
     Base Rate Loans in excess of $5,000,000 by delivery of the required Notice
     of Borrowing to Agent by facsimile transmission promptly, but in no event
     later than 5:00 p.m. on the same day. Unless Borrowers specifically direct
     Agent and Lenders in writing not to accept or act upon telephonic or
     electronic communications from Borrowers, neither Agent nor any Lender
     shall have any liability to Borrowers for any loss or damage suffered by
     Borrowers as a result of Agent's or any Lender's honoring of any requests,
     execution of any instructions, authorizations or agreements or reliance on
     any reports

                                     - 51 -

<PAGE>

     communicated to it telephonically or electronically and purporting to have
     been sent to Agent or Lenders by Borrowers and neither Agent nor any Lender
     shall have any duty to verify the origin of any such communication or the
     identity or authority of the Person sending it.

           4.1.2. Fundings by Lenders. Subject to its receipt of notice from
Agent of a Notice of Borrowing as provided in Sections 4.1.1(i) or 4.1.3(ii)
(except in the case of a deemed request for a Revolver Loan as provided in
Sections 4.1.1(ii) or 4.1.3(ii) hereof, in which event no Notice of Borrowing
need be submitted), each Lender shall timely honor its Revolver Commitment by
funding its Pro Rata share of each Borrowing of Revolver Loans that is properly
requested by Borrowers and that each Borrower is entitled to receive under this
Agreement. Agent shall promptly notify Lenders of each Notice of Borrowing. Each
Lender shall deposit with Agent an amount equal to its Pro Rata share of the
Borrowing requested by Borrowers at Agent's designated bank in immediately
available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date of funding of such
Borrowing, unless Agent's notice to Lenders is received after 1:00 p.m. on the
proposed funding date of a Base Rate Loan, in which event Lenders shall deposit
with Agent their respective Pro Rata shares of the requested Borrowing on or
before 11:00 a.m. of the next Domestic Business Day. Subject to its receipt of
such amounts from Lenders, Agent shall make the proceeds of the Revolver Loans
received by it available to Borrowers by disbursing such proceeds in accordance
with Remington's disbursement instructions set forth in the applicable Notice of
Borrowing. Unless Agent shall have been notified in writing by a Lender prior to
12:00 noon on the proposed funding date (in the case of Base Rate Loans) or by
2:00 p.m. at least 2 Domestic Business Days before the proposed funding date (in
the case of Euro-Dollar Loans) that such Lender does not intend to deposit with
Agent an amount equal such Lender's Pro Rata share of the requested Borrowing,
Agent may assume that such Lender has deposited or promptly will deposit its
share with Agent and Agent may in its discretion disburse a corresponding amount
to each Borrower on the applicable funding date. If a Lender's Pro Rata share of
such Borrowing is not in fact deposited with Agent, then, if Agent has disbursed
to each Borrower an amount corresponding to such share, then such Lender agrees
to pay, and in addition Borrowers agree to repay, to Agent forthwith on demand
such corresponding amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from the
date such amount is disbursed by Agent to or for the benefit of Borrowers until
the date such amount is paid or repaid to Agent, (a) in the case of Borrower, at
the interest rate applicable to such Borrowing and (b) in the case of such
Lender, at the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender repays to Agent such
corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute a Revolver Loan,
and if both such Lender and Borrowers shall have repaid such corresponding
amount, Agent shall promptly return to Borrowers such corresponding amount in
same day funds. A notice from Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to
amounts owing under this Section 4.1.2 shall be conclusive, absent manifest
error.

           4.1.3. Settlement and Settlement Loans.

               (i)     In order to facilitate the administration of the Revolver
     Loans under this Agreement, Lenders agree (which agreement shall not be for
     the benefit of or enforceable by Borrowers) that settlement among them with
     respect to the Revolver Loans may take place on a periodic basis on dates
     determined from time to time by Agent (each a "Settlement Date"), which may
     occur before or after the occurrence or during the continuance of a Default
     or Event of Default and whether or not all of the conditions set forth in
     Section 11 of this Agreement have been met. On each Settlement Date,
     payment shall be made by or to each Lender in the manner provided herein
     and in accordance with the Settlement Report delivered by Agent to Lenders
     with respect to such Settlement Date so that, as of each Settlement Date
     and after giving effect to the transaction to take place on such Settlement
     Date, each Lender shall hold its Pro Rata share of all Revolver Loans and
     LC Obligations then outstanding. Agent shall request settlement with the
     Lenders on a basis not less frequently than once every 5 Domestic Business
     Days.

                                     - 52 -

<PAGE>

               (ii)    Between Settlement Dates, Agent may request Wachovia to
     advance, and Wachovia may, but shall in no event be obligated to, advance
     to Borrowers out of Wachovia's own funds the entire principal amount of any
     Borrowing of Revolver Loans that are Base Rate Loans requested or deemed
     requested pursuant to this Agreement (any such Revolver Loan funded
     exclusively by Wachovia being referred to as a "Settlement Loan"). Each
     Settlement Loan shall constitute a Revolver Loan hereunder, shall be a Base
     Rate Loan and shall be subject to all of the terms, conditions and security
     applicable to other Revolver Loans, except that all payments thereon shall
     be payable to Wachovia solely for its own account. The joint and several
     obligation of Borrowers to repay such Settlement Loans to Wachovia shall be
     evidenced by the Settlement Note and the records of Wachovia. Agent shall
     not request Wachovia to make any Settlement Loan if (A) Agent shall have
     received written notice from any Lender that one or more of the applicable
     conditions precedent set forth in Section 11 hereof will not be satisfied
     on the requested funding date for the applicable Borrowing or (B) the
     requested Borrowing would exceed the amount of Availability on the funding
     date or would cause the then outstanding principal balance of all
     Settlement Loans to exceed $5,000,000. Wachovia shall not be required to
     determine whether the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section
     11 hereof have been satisfied or the requested Borrowing would exceed the
     amount of Availability on the funding date applicable thereto prior to
     making, in its sole discretion, any Settlement Loan. On each Settlement
     Date, or, if earlier, upon demand by Agent for payment thereof, the then
     outstanding Settlement Loans shall be immediately due and payable. As
     provided in Section 4.1.1(ii), Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested
     (without necessity of submitting any Notice of Borrowing) Revolver Loans to
     be made on each Settlement Date in the amount of all outstanding Settlement
     Loans and to have authorized Agent to cause the proceeds of such Revolver
     Loans to be applied to the repayment of such Settlement Loans and interest
     accrued thereon. Agent shall notify the Lenders of the outstanding balance
     of Settlement Loans prior to 12:00 noon on each Settlement Date and each
     Lender shall deposit with Agent an amount equal to its Pro Rata share of
     the amount of Revolver Loans deemed requested in immediately available
     funds not later than 1:00 p.m. on such Settlement Date, and without regard
     to whether any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 11 are
     satisfied or the Commitment Termination Date has occurred. If any
     Settlement Loan is not repaid on the due date thereof, then on the second
     Domestic Business Day after Wachovia's request each Lender (other than
     Wachovia) shall purchase a participating interest in such Settlement Loan
     in an amount equal to its Pro Rata share of such Settlement Loan by
     transferring to Wachovia, in immediately available funds, the amount of
     such participation. The proceeds of Settlement Loans may be used solely for
     purposes for which Revolver Loans generally may be used in accordance with
     Section 2.1.3 hereof. If any amounts received by Wachovia in respect of any
     Settlement Loans are later required to be returned or repaid by Wachovia to
     Borrowers or any other Obligor or their respective representatives or
     successors-in-interest, whether by court order, settlement or otherwise,
     the other Lenders shall, upon demand by Wachovia with notice to Agent, pay
     to Agent for the account of Wachovia, an amount equal to each other
     Lender's Pro Rata share of all such amounts required to be returned by
     Wachovia.

           4.1.4. Disbursement Authorization. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably
authorizes Agent to disburse the proceeds of each Revolver Loan requested by
Borrowers, or deemed to be requested pursuant to Section 4.1.1 or Section
4.1.3(ii), as follows: (i) the proceeds of each Revolver Loan requested under
Section 4.1.1(i) shall be disbursed by Agent in accordance with the terms of the
written disbursement letter from Borrowers in the case of the initial Borrowing,
and, in the case of each subsequent Borrowing, by wire transfer to such bank
account as may be agreed upon by a Borrower and Agent from time to time or
elsewhere if pursuant to a written direction from a Borrower; and (ii) the
proceeds of each Revolver Loan requested under

                                     - 53 -

<PAGE>

Section 4.1.1(ii) or Section 4.1.3(ii) shall be disbursed by Agent by way of
direct payment of the relevant interest or other Obligation. Any Revolver Loan
proceeds received by Borrowers or in payment of any of the Obligations shall be
deemed to have been received by Borrowers.

     4.2.  Defaulting Lender. If any Lender shall, at any time, fail to make any
payment to Agent or Wachovia that is required hereunder, Agent may, but shall
not be required to, retain payments that would otherwise be made to such
defaulting Lender hereunder and apply such payments to such defaulting Lender's
defaulted obligations hereunder, at such time, and in such order, as Agent may
elect in its sole discretion. With respect to the payment of any funds from
Agent to a Lender or from a Lender to Agent, the party failing to make the full
payment when due pursuant to the terms hereof shall, upon demand by the other
party, pay such amount together with interest on such amount at the Federal
Funds Rate. The failure of any Lender to fund its portion of any Revolver Loan
shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, to fund its
portion of the Revolver Loan on the date of Borrowing, but no Lender shall be
responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Revolver Loan to be
made by such Lender on the date of any Borrowing. Solely for purposes of voting
or consenting to matters with respect to any of the Credit Documents, Collateral
or any Obligations and determining a defaulting Lender's Pro Rata share of
payments and proceeds of Collateral, a defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to
be a "Lender" and such Lender's Revolver Commitment shall be deemed to be zero.
The provisions of this Section 4.2 shall be solely for the benefit of the Lender
Group and may not be enforced by Borrowers.

     4.3.  Special Provisions Governing Euro-Dollar Loans.

           4.3.1.  Number of Euro-Dollar Loans. In no event may the number of
Euro-Dollar Loans outstanding at any time to any Lender exceed 10.

           4.3.2.  Minimum Amounts. Each Borrowing of Euro-Dollar Loans pursuant
to Section 4.1.1(i), and each continuation of or conversion to Euro-Dollar Loans
pursuant to Section 3.1.2 hereof, shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and
integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount.

           4.3.3.  LIBOR Lending Office. Each Lender's initial LIBOR Lending
Office is set forth opposite its name on the signature pages hereof. Each Lender
shall have the right at any time and from time to time to designate a different
office of itself or of any Affiliate as such Lender's LIBOR Lending Office, and
to transfer any outstanding Euro-Dollar Loans to such LIBOR Lending Office. No
such designation or transfer shall result in any liability on the part of
Borrowers for increased costs or expenses resulting solely from such designation
or transfer. Increased costs or expenses resulting from a change in Applicable
Law occurring subsequent to any such designation or transfer shall be deemed not
to result solely from such designation or transfer.

     4.4.  Borrowers' Representative.  Each Borrower hereby irrevocably
appoints Remington, and Remington agrees to act under this Agreement as, the
agent and representative of itself and Factors for all purposes under this
Agreement, including requesting Borrowings, selecting whether any Revolver Loan
or portion thereof is to bear interest as a Base Rate Loan or a Euro-Dollar
Loan, and receiving account statements and other notices and communications to
Borrowers (or either of them) from Agent. Agent may rely, and shall be fully
protected in relying, on any Notice of Borrowing, Notice of
Conversion/Continuation, disbursement instructions, reports, information,
Borrowing Base Certificate or any other notice or communication made or given by
Remington, whether in its own name, on behalf of either Borrower or on behalf of
"the Borrowers," and Agent shall have no obligation to make any inquiry or
request any confirmation from or on behalf of any other Borrower as to the
binding effect on such Borrower of any such Notice of Borrowing, Notice of

                                     - 54 -

<PAGE>

Conversion Continuation, instruction, report, information, Borrowing Base
Certificate or other notice or communication, nor shall the joint and several
character of Borrowers' liability for the Obligations be affected, provided that
the provisions of this Section 4.4 shall not be construed so as to preclude
either Borrower from directly requesting Borrowings or taking other actions
permitted to be taken by "a Borrower" hereunder. All Revolver Loans disbursed to
the account of either Borrower shall be deemed to have been made to and for the
joint benefit of both Borrowers. Agent may maintain a single Loan Account in the
name of "Remington Arms Company, Inc.," and each Borrower expressly agrees to
such arrangement and confirms that such arrangement shall have no effect on the
joint and several character of such Borrower's liability for the Obligations.

     4.5.  All Revolver Loans to Constitute One Obligation. The Revolver Loans
shall constitute one general (and joint and several) obligation of Borrowers and
shall be secured by Agent's Liens upon all of the Collateral except as may be
otherwise expressly provided in any of the Credit Documents; provided, however,
that each Agent and each Lender shall be deemed to be a creditor of each
Borrower and the holder of a separate claim against each Borrower to the extent
of any Obligations owed by Borrowers to Agent or such Lender.

SECTION  5.  PAYMENTS

     5.1.  General Repayment Provisions. All payments (including all
prepayments) of principal of and interest on the Revolver Loans, LC Obligations
and other Obligations shall be made to Agent in U.S. Dollars without any offset
or counterclaim and, with respect to payments made other than by application of
balances in a Cash Collateral Account, in immediately available funds not later
than 12:00 noon on the due date (and payment made after such time on the due
date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Domestic Business
Day). All payments received by Agent shall be distributed by Agent to Lenders,
subject to the right of offset that Agent may have as to amounts otherwise to be
remitted to a particular Lender by reason of amounts due Agent from such Lender
under any of the Credit Documents.

     5.2.  Repayment of Revolver Loans.

           5.2.1.  Payment of Principal.  The outstanding principal amounts with
respect to the Revolver Loans shall be repaid as follows:

               (i)     Any portion of the Revolver Loans bearing interest
     as Base Rate Loans shall be paid by Borrowers to Agent, for the benefit of
     Lenders (or, in the case of Settlement Loans, for the sole benefit of
     Wachovia), unless timely converted to a Euro-Dollar Loan in accordance with
     this Agreement, upon (a) the Commitment Termination Date, (b) if a Cash
     Management Event occurs, the receipt by Agent, any Lender or any Obligor of
     any proceeds of Collateral, and (b) in the case of Settlement Loans, the
     earlier of Wachovia's demand for payment or on each Settlement Date with
     respect to all Settlement Loans outstanding on such date.

               (ii)    Any portion of the Revolver Loans bearing interest as
     Euro-Dollar Loans shall be paid by Borrowers to Agent, for the benefit of
     Lenders, unless converted to a Base Rate Loan or continued as a Euro-Dollar
     Loan in accordance with this Agreement, upon the earlier to occur of (a)
     the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto or (b) the
     Commitment Termination Date. In no event shall Borrowers be authorized to
     pay any Euro-Dollar Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period
     applicable thereto unless (x) otherwise agreed in writing by Agent, a Cash
     Management Event shall occur, or Borrowers are otherwise expressly
     authorized or required by any provision of this Agreement to pay any
     Euro-Dollar Loan outstanding on a date other than the last day of the
     Interest Period applicable thereto, and (y) Borrowers pay to Agent, for the
     benefit of Lenders and concurrently

                                     - 55 -

<PAGE>

     with any prepayment of a Euro-Dollar Loan, the amount due Agent and Lenders
     under Section 3.9 hereof as a consequence of such prepayment.

               (iii)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
     elsewhere in this Agreement, if an Out-of-Formula Condition shall exist,
     Borrowers shall, on the sooner to occur of Agent's demand or the first
     Domestic Business Day after Borrowers have obtained knowledge of such
     Out-of-Formula Condition, repay the outstanding Revolver Loans that are
     Base Rate Loans in an amount sufficient to reduce the aggregate unpaid
     principal amount of all Revolver Loans by an amount equal to such excess;
     and, if such payment of Base Rate Loans is not sufficient to eliminate the
     Out-of-Formula Condition, then Borrowers shall immediately either (a)
     deposit with Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, for application to any
     outstanding Revolver Loans bearing interest as Euro-Dollar Loans as the
     same become due and payable (whether at the end of the applicable Interest
     Periods or on the Commitment Termination Date), cash in an amount
     sufficient to eliminate such Out-of-Formula Condition to be held by Agent
     pending disbursement of same to Lenders, but subject to Agent's Lien
     thereon and rights of offset with respect thereto, or (b) pay the Revolver
     Loans outstanding as Euro-Dollar Loans to the extent necessary to eliminate
     such Out-of-Formula Condition and also pay to Agent for the benefit of
     Lenders any and all amounts required by Section 3.9 hereof to be paid by
     reason of the prepayment of a Euro-Dollar Loan prior to the last day of the
     Interest Period applicable thereto.

           5.2.2. Payment of Interest. Interest accrued on the Revolver Loans
shall be due and payable on (i) the first calendar day of each month (for the
immediately preceding month), computed through the last calendar day of the
preceding month, with respect to any portion of a Revolver Loan bearing interest
as a Base Rate Loan and (ii) with respect to any portion of a Revolver Loan
bearing interest as a Euro-Dollar Loan, the earlier to occur of (a) the last day
of the applicable Interest Period or (b) for a Euro-Dollar Loan having an
Interest Period of 6 months, the date that is 3 months after the first day of
such Interest Period and on the last day of such Interest Period. Accrued
interest shall also be paid by each Borrower on the Commitment Termination Date.
With respect to any Base Rate Loan converted into a Euro-Dollar Loan pursuant to
Section 3.1.2 on a day when interest would not otherwise have been payable with
respect to such Base Rate Loan, accrued interest to the date of such conversion
on the amount of such Base Rate Loan so converted shall be paid on the
conversion date.

     5.3.  RESERVED.

     5.4.  Prepayments. The following provisions shall govern Borrowers' rights
and obligations with respect to prepayment of the Obligations (with the
application of such prepayments to be governed by the provisions of Section 5.8
hereof):

           (a)     Borrowers shall, concurrently with the receipt by any Obligor
of any Net Disposition Proceeds from any sale or other disposition of Collateral
(other than sales of Inventory  in the Ordinary  Course of Business of Remington
and replacements of Equipment  permitted  pursuant to Section 8.4.2(ii)) make or
cause to be made a mandatory  prepayment  of the Revolver  Loans,  provided that
nothing  herein shall be construed to authorize  any  disposition  of Collateral
except as expressly  elsewhere  authorized by this Agreement or the other Credit
Documents; and

                                     - 56 -

<PAGE>

           (b)     With respect to any condemnation awards or proceeds of
insurance of the type required by Section  8.1.2(i),  Borrowers shall prepay the
Revolver Loan as and to the extent required by Section 8.1.2(ii).

     5.5.  Payment of Other Obligations. Borrowers shall pay all costs, fees and
charges pursuant to this Agreement as and when provided in Section 3.2 hereof,
to Agent or to any other Person designated by Agent in writing. The balance of
the Obligations requiring the payment of money, including the LC Obligations,
shall be repaid by Borrowers to Agent, for the benefit of Agent or Lenders, as
the case may be, as and when provided in the Credit Documents, or, if no date of
payment is otherwise specified in the Credit Documents, on demand.

     5.6.  Marshalling; Payments Set Aside Neither Agent nor any Lender shall be
under any obligation to marshall any assets in favor of Borrowers or any other
Obligor or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent
that a Borrower makes a payment or payments to Agent or any Lender or any of
such Persons receives payment from the proceeds of Collateral or exercises its
right of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such
enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared
to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a
trustee, receiver or any other party, then to the extent of such recovery, the
obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens,
rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and
effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had
not occurred. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence of this
Section 5.6 shall survive any termination of the Revolver Commitments and
payment in full of the Obligations.

     5.7.  Agent's Allocation of Payments and Collections.

           5.7.1.  Allocation of Payments. All monies to be applied to the
Obligations, whether such monies represent voluntary payments by one or more
Obligors or are received pursuant to demand for payment or realized from any
disposition of Collateral, shall be allocated among Agent and such of the
Lenders as are entitled thereto (and, with respect to monies allocated to
Lenders, with each Lender to receive its Pro Rata share thereof, unless
otherwise provided herein): (i) first, to Agent to pay any Indemnified Amount
that has not been paid to Agent by Borrowers or Lenders, together with interest
accrued thereon at the rate applicable to Revolver Loans that are Base Rate
Loans; (ii) second, to Agent to pay the amount of Extraordinary Expenses and
amounts owing to Agent pursuant to Section 15.10 hereof that have not been
reimbursed to Agent by Borrowers or Lenders, together with interest accrued
thereon at the rate applicable to Revolver Loans that are Base Rate Loans; (iii)
third, to Agent to pay any fees due and payable to Agent, including fees payable
to Agent pursuant to the Syndication Fee Letter; (iv) fourth, to Agent to pay
principal and accrued interest on any portion of the Revolver Loans which Agent
may have advanced on behalf of any Lender and for which Agent has not been
reimbursed by such Lender or Borrowers; (v) fifth, to Wachovia to pay the
principal and accrued interest on any portion of the Settlement Loans
outstanding, to be shared with Lenders that have acquired and paid for a
participating interest in such Settlement Loans; (vi) sixth, to the extent
Wachovia has not received from any Lender payment as required by Section
2.3.2(ii) hereof, to Wachovia to pay all such required payments from each such
Lender; (vii) seventh, to each Lender for any Indemnified Amount that such
Lender has paid to Agent and any Extraordinary Expenses that such Lender has
reimbursed to Agent, to the extent that such Lender has not been reimbursed from
Obligors therefor; (viii) eighth, to Lenders for any Indemnified Amount and any
Extraordinary Expenses that have not been paid to them by Obligors; (ix) ninth,
to LC Issuer to pay principal and interest with respect to the LC Obligations
(or to the extent any of the LC Obligations are contingent and an Event of
Default then exists, deposited in the Cash Collateral Account to provide
security for

                                     - 57 -

<PAGE>

the payment of the LC Obligations), which payment shall be shared with the
Lenders in accordance with Section 2.3.2(iii) hereof; (x) tenth, to Lenders in
payment of the unpaid principal and accrued interest in respect of the Revolver
Loans (other than Settlement Loans), with each Lender to receive therefrom its
Pro Rata share or a share on such other basis as may be agreed upon in writing
by Lenders (which agreement or agreements may be entered into without notice to
or the consent or approval of Borrowers); and (xi) eleventh, to Lenders in
payment of the unpaid principal and accrued interest in respect of any other
Obligations then outstanding, including Hedging Agreements with Lenders or their
Affiliates, with each Lender to receive therefrom its ratable share or a share
on such other basis as may be agreed upon in writing by Lenders (which agreement
or agreements may be entered into without notice to or the consent or approval
of Borrowers). The allocations set forth in this Section 5.7 are solely to
determine the rights and priorities of Agent and Lenders as among themselves and
may be changed by Agent and Lenders without notice to or the consent or approval
of Borrowers or any other Person.

           5.7.2.  Erroneous Allocation. Agent shall not be liable for any
allocation or distribution of payments made by it in good faith and, if any such
allocation or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in
error, the sole recourse of any Lender to which payment was due but not made
shall be to recover from the other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount
to which such other Lenders are determined to be entitled (and such other
Lenders hereby agree to return to such Lender any such erroneous payments
received by them). In no event shall Borrowers or any other Obligor be deemed to
be a beneficiary of this Section 5.7.2 or authorized to enforce any of the
provisions of this Section 5.7.2, and nothing in this Section 5.7.2 shall be
construed to affect Agent's or any Lender's recourse against Borrowers or any
other Obligor with respect to the Obligations.

     5.8.  APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS AND COLLECTIONS.

           5.8.1.  Application of Prepayments. Except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Agreement, Agent shall be authorized to apply any prepayments,
whether voluntary or mandatory, to such of the then outstanding Obligations as
Agent may elect in its sole discretion, provided that, if at the time of Agent's
receipt of any prepayment any Default or Event of Default exists, such
prepayment shall be applied to the outstanding Obligations and allocated among
Agent and Lenders as and to the extent provided in Section 5.7 hereof.

           5.8.2.  Waiver of Application. Except that to the extent that the
manner of application to the Obligations of any payments or proceeds of
Collateral is expressly governed by other provisions of this Agreement or any of
the other Credit Documents, each Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct
the application of any and all payment and collections at any time or times
hereafter received by either of Agent or any Lender from or on behalf of each
Borrower, and each Borrower does hereby irrevocably agree that Agent shall have
the continuing exclusive right to apply and reapply any and all such payments
and collections received at any time or times hereafter by either of Agent or
any Lender against the Obligations, in such manner as Agent may deem advisable,
notwithstanding any entry by Agent upon any of its books and records; provided,
however, that at any time that a Default or Event of Default exists, all
payments and proceeds of Collateral shall be allocated and applied in accordance
with the provisions of Section 5.7 hereof.

           5.8.3.  Credit Balance. If as a result of collections of Accounts as
authorized by Section 8.2.5 a credit balance exists in favor of Borrowers, such
credit balance shall not accrue interest in favor of Borrowers, but shall be
available to Borrowers at any time or times. Agent may, at its option, offset
such credit balance against any of the Obligations upon and after the occurrence
of an Event of Default.

                                     - 58 -

<PAGE>

     5.9.  REVOLVER LOAN ACCOUNTS; THE REGISTER; ACCOUNT STATED.

           5.9.1.  Revolver Loan Accounts. Each Lender shall maintain in
accordance with its usual and customary practices an account or accounts (a
"Revolver Loan Account") evidencing the Debt of Borrowers to such Lender
resulting from each Revolver Loan owing to such Lender from time to time,
including the amount of principal and interest payable to such Lender from time
to time hereunder and under each Note payable to such Lender.

           5.9.2.  The Register. Agent shall maintain a register (the
"Register")  which shall include a master  account and a subsidiary  account for
each Lender and in which  accounts  (taken  together)  shall be recorded (i) the
date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of each Revolver Loan
comprising such Borrowing and any Interest Period applicable  thereto,  (ii) the
effective date and amount of each  Assignment  and  Acceptance  delivered to and
accepted by it and the parties  thereto,  (iii) the amount of any  principal  or
interest  due and payable or to become due and payable  from  Borrowers  to each
Lender  hereunder or under the Notes, and (iv) the amount of any sum received by
Agent from Borrowers or any other Obligor and each Lender's  share thereof.  The
Register  shall be available  for  inspection  by Borrowers or any Lender at the
offices of Agent at any  reasonable  time and from time to time upon  reasonable
prior notice.

           5.9.3.  Entries Binding. The entries made in the Register and each
Revolver Loan Account shall be admissible in any action or proceeding relating
to any of the Credit Documents and, absent manifest error, shall constitute
rebuttably presumptive evidence of the information contained therein,
irrespective of whether any Obligation is also evidenced by a promissory note or
other instrument; provided, however, that if a copy of information contained in
the Register or any Revolver Loan Account is provided to any Obligor, or any
Obligor inspects the Register or any Revolver Loan Account, at any time or from
time to time, then the information contained in the Register or the Revolver
Loan Account, as applicable shall be conclusive and binding on such Obligor for
all purposes absent manifest error, unless such Obligor notifies Agent in
writing within 30 days after such Obligor's receipt of such copy or such
Obligor's inspection of the Register or Revolver Loan Account of its intention
to dispute the information contained therein.

     5.10. GROSS UP FOR TAXES; WITHHOLDING TAX EXEMPTION.

           5.10.1. Tax Gross Up. Except as provided below in this Section 5.10,
all payments made by Borrowers under this Agreement and the Notes shall be made
free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of,
any present or future income, stamp or other Taxes or withholdings, now or
hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental
Authority, excluding (i) Taxes measured by or imposed upon the overall net
income of any Lender or its applicable lending office, or any branch or
affiliate thereof, (ii) all franchise, branch, and doing business Taxes or (iii)
Taxes on the overall capital or net worth of any Lender or its applicable
lending office, or any branch or affiliate thereof, in each case imposed in lieu
of net income taxes, imposed: (a) by the jurisdiction under the laws of which
such Lender, applicable lending office, branch or affiliate is organized or is
located, or in which its principal executive office is located, or any nation
within which such jurisdiction is located or any political subdivision thereof;
or (b) by reason of any connection between the jurisdiction imposing such Tax
and such Lender, applicable lending office, branch or affiliate other than a
connection arising solely from such Lender having executed, delivered or
performed its obligations, or received payment under or enforced, this Agreement
or the Notes. If any such non-excluded Taxes or withholdings ("Non-Excluded
Taxes") are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to Agent or any
Lender hereunder or under the Notes, the amounts so payable to Agent or such
Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to Agent or such
Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other
amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the

                                     - 59 -

<PAGE>

amounts specified in this Agreement and the Notes; provided, however, that
Borrowers shall be entitled to deduct and withhold any Non-Excluded Taxes and
shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender that is
not organized under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof
if such Lender fails to comply with the requirements of Section 5.10.2. Whenever
any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by Borrowers, as promptly as possible
thereafter Borrowers shall send to the Agent for its own account or for the
account of such Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original
official receipt received by Borrowers showing payment thereof. If Borrowers
fail to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority
or fail to remit to Agent the required receipts or other required documentary
evidence, Borrowers shall indemnify Agent and Lenders for any incremental Taxes,
interest or penalties that may become payable by Agent or any Lender as a result
of any such failure. The agreements in this Section 5.10.1 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts
payable hereunder.

           5.10.2. Withholding Tax Exemption. Each Lender that is not
incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof
shall:

               (X) (i) on or before the date of any payment by Borrowers under
     this Agreement or the Notes to such Lender, deliver to Borrowers and Agent
     (A) 2 duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form
     W-8BEN or W-8ECI, or successor applicable form, as the case may be,
     certifying that it is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement
     without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes
     and (B) an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-9, or successor
     applicable form, as the case may be, certifying that it is entitled to an
     exemption from United States backup withholding tax;

               (ii)    deliver to Borrowers and Agent 2 further copies of any
     such form or certification on or before the date that any such form or
     certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any
     event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it
     to Borrowers; and

               (iii)   obtain such extensions of time for filing and complete
     such forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by Borrowers or
     Agent; or

               (Y)     in the case of any such Lender that is not a "bank"
     within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code and
     that is relying on the exemption under Section 881(c) of the Code, (i)
     represent to Borrowers (for the benefit of Borrowers and Agent) that it is
     not a bank within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (ii)
     agree to furnish to Borrowers on or before the date of any payment by
     Borrowers, with a copy to Agent, (A) a certificate substantially in the
     form of Exhibit I hereto (any such certificate a "U.S. Tax Compliance
     Certificate") and (B) 2 accurate and complete original signed copies of
     Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or successor applicable form
     certifying to such Lender's legal entitlement at the date of such
     certificate to an exemption from U.S. withholding tax under the provisions
     of Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code with respect to payments to
     be made under this Agreement (and to deliver to Borrowers and Agent 2
     further copies of such form on or before the date it expires or becomes
     obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the
     most recently provided form and, if necessary, obtain any extensions of
     time reasonably requested by Borrowers or Agent for filing and completing
     such forms), and (iii) agree, to the extent legally entitled to do so, upon
     reasonable request by Borrowers, to provide to Borrowers (for the benefit
     of Borrowers and Agent) such other forms as may be reasonably required in
     order to establish the legal entitlement of such Lender to an exemption
     from withholding with respect to payments under this Agreement;

                                     - 60 -

<PAGE>

unless in any such case any change in treaty, law or regulation has occurred
after the date such Person becomes a Lender hereunder which renders all such
forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and
delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender so advises Borrowers
and Agent. Each Person that shall become a Lender or a Participant pursuant to
Section 14 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to
provide all of the forms, certifications and statements required pursuant to
this Section 5.10.2, provided that in the case of a Participant the obligations
of such Participant pursuant to this Section 5.10.2 shall be determined as if
the Participant were a Lender except that such Participant shall furnish all
such required forms, certifications and statements to the Lender from which the
related participation shall have been purchased.

     5.11. CERTAIN RULES RELATING TO THE PAYMENT OF ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS.

           5.11.1. Upon the request, and at the expense, of Borrowers, each
Lender to which any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount pursuant
to Section 5.10, and any Participant in respect of whose participation such
payment is required, shall reasonably afford Borrowers the opportunity to
contest, and reasonably cooperate with Borrowers in contesting, the imposition
of any Non-Excluded Tax giving rise to such payment; provided that (i) such
Lender shall not be required to afford Borrowers the opportunity to so contest
unless Borrowers shall have confirmed in writing to such Lender their obligation
to pay such amounts pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) Borrowers shall
reimburse such Lender for its reasonable attorneys' and accountants' fees and
disbursements incurred in so cooperating with Borrowers in contesting the
imposition of such Non-Excluded Tax.

           5.11.2. If a Lender changes its applicable lending office (other than
pursuant to Section 5.11.3 below) and the effect of the change, as of the date
of the change, would be to cause Borrowers to become obligated to pay any
additional amount under Section 5.10, Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay
such additional amount.

           5.11.3. If a condition or an event occurs which would, or would upon
the passage of time or giving of notice, result in the payment of any additional
amount to any Lender by Borrowers pursuant to Section 5.10, such Lender shall
promptly notify Borrowers and Agent and shall take such steps as may reasonably
be available to it and acceptable to Borrowers to mitigate the effects of such
condition or event (which shall include efforts to rebook the Loans held by such
Lender at another lending office, or through another branch or an affiliate, of
such Lender); provided that such Lender shall not be required to take any step
that, in its reasonable judgment, would be materially disadvantageous to its
business or operations or would require it to incur additional costs (unless
Borrowers agree to reimburse such Lender for the reasonable incremental
out-of-pocket costs thereof).

           5.11.4. If Borrowers shall become obligated to pay additional amounts
pursuant to Section 5.10 and any affected Lender shall not have promptly taken
steps necessary to avoid the need for payments under Section 5.10, Borrowers
shall have the right, for so long as such obligation remains, (x) with the
assistance of Agent, to seek one or more substitute Lenders reasonably
satisfactory to Agent and Borrowers to purchase the affected Loan, in whole or
in part, at an aggregate price no less than such Loan's principal amount plus
accrued interest, fees and expenses, and assume the affected obligations under
this Agreement, or (y) upon at least 4 Business Days irrevocable notice to
Agent, to prepay the affected Loan, in whole or in part without premium or
penalty. In the case of the substitution of a Lender, Borrowers, Agent, the
affected Lender, and any substitute Lender shall execute and deliver an
appropriately completed Assignment and

                                     - 61 -

<PAGE>

Acceptance pursuant to Section 14.3 to effect the assignment of rights to, and
the assumption of obligations by, the substitute Lender. In the case of a
prepayment of an affected Loan, the amount specified in the prepayment notice
shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with any
accrued interest, fees and expenses to such date on the amount prepaid. No such
substitution or prepayment shall affect the obligation of Borrowers to pay the
relevant additional amounts pursuant to Section 5.10 with respect to the period
prior to such substitution or prepayment, as the case may be.

           5.11.5. The obligations of a Lender or Participant under this Section
5.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the
Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.

     5.12. NATURE AND EXTENT OF EACH BORROWER'S LIABILITY.

           5.12.1. Joint and Several Liability. Each Borrower shall be liable
for, on a joint and several basis, and hereby guarantees the timely payment by
the other Borrower of, all of the Revolver Loans and other Obligations,
regardless of which Borrower actually may have received the proceeds of any
Revolver Loans or other extensions of credit hereunder or the amount of such
Revolver Loans received or the manner in which Agent or any Lender accounts for
such Revolver Loans or other extensions of credit on its books and records, it
being acknowledged and agreed that Revolver Loans to one Borrower inure to the
mutual benefit of both Borrowers and that Agent and Lenders are relying on the
joint and several liability of Borrowers in extending the Revolver Loans and
other financial accommodations hereunder. Each Borrower hereby unconditionally
and irrevocably agrees that upon default in the payment when due (whether at
stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of any principal of, or interest
owed on, any of the Revolver Loans or other Obligations, such Borrower shall
forthwith pay the same, without notice or demand.

           5.12.2. Unconditional Nature of Liability. Each Borrower's joint and
several liability hereunder with respect to, and guaranty of, the Revolver Loans
and other Obligations shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law,
be unconditional irrespective of (i) the validity, enforceability, avoidance or
subordination of any of the Obligations or of any promissory note or other
document evidencing all or any part of the Obligations, (ii) the absence of any
attempt to collect any of the Obligations from any other Obligor or any
Collateral or other security therefor, or the absence of any other action to
enforce the same, (iii) the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance or granting
of any indulgence by Agent or any Lender with respect to any provision of any
instrument evidencing or securing the payment of any of the Obligations, or any
other agreement now or hereafter executed by the other Borrower and delivered to
Agent or any Lender, (iv) the failure by Agent to take any steps to perfect or
maintain the perfected status of its security interest in or Lien upon, or to
preserve its rights to, any of the Collateral or other security for the payment
or performance of any of the Obligations or Agent's release of any Collateral or
of its Liens upon any Collateral, (v) Agent's or Lenders' election, in any
proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, for the application of Section
1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, (vi) any borrowing or grant of a security
interest by the other Borrower, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the
Bankruptcy Code, (vii) the release or compromise, in whole or in part, of the
liability of any Obligor for the payment of any of the Obligations, (viii) any
amendment or modification of any of the Credit Documents or waiver of any
Default or Event of Default thereunder, (ix) any increase in the amount of the
Obligations beyond any limits imposed herein or in the amount of any interest,
fees or other charges payable in connection therewith, or any decrease in the
same, (x) the disallowance of all or any portion of Agent's or any Lender's
claims for the repayment of any of the Obligations under Section 502 of the
Bankruptcy Code, or (xi) any other circumstance that might constitute a legal or
equitable discharge or defense of a Borrower. After the occurrence and during
the continuance of any Event of Default, Agent may proceed directly and at once,
without notice to any Obligor, against any or all of Obligors to collect and
recover all or any part of the Obligations, without first proceeding against any
other Obligor or against any Collateral or

                                     - 62 -

<PAGE>

other security for the payment or performance of any of the Obligations, and
each Borrower, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, waives any
provision that might otherwise require Agent under Applicable Law to pursue or
exhaust its remedies against any Collateral or any other Obligor before pursuing
such Borrower. Each Borrower consents and agrees that Agent shall be under no
obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any such Borrower or against or in
payment of any or all of the Obligations.

           5.12.3. No Reduction in Liability for Obligations. No payment or
payments made by an Obligor or received or collected by Agent from an Obligor or
any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any setoff or
appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or
in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or
otherwise affect the liability of any Borrower under this Agreement, each of
which shall remain jointly and severally liable for the payment and performance
of all Revolver Loans and other Obligations until the Obligations are paid in
full and this Agreement is terminated.

           5.12.4. Contribution. Each Borrower is unconditionally obligated to
repay the Obligations as a joint and several obligor under this Agreement. If,
as of any date, the aggregate amount of payments made by a Borrower on account
of the Obligations and proceeds of such Borrower's Collateral that are applied
to the Obligations exceeds the aggregate amount of Revolver Loan proceeds
actually used by such Borrower in its business (such excess amount being
referred to as an "Accommodation Payment"), then the other Borrower (the
"Contributing Borrower") shall be obligated to make contribution to such
Borrower (the "Paying Borrower") in an amount equal to (A) the product derived
by multiplying the sum of each Accommodation Payment of the Paying Borrower by
the Allocable Percentage of the Contributing Borrower less (B) the amount, if
any, of the then outstanding Accommodation Payment of such Contributing Borrower
(such last mentioned amount which is to be subtracted from the aforesaid product
to be increased by any amounts theretofore paid by such Contributing Borrower by
way of contribution hereunder, and to be decreased by any amounts theretofore
received by such Contributing Borrower by way of contribution hereunder);
provided, however, that a Paying Borrower's recovery of contribution hereunder
from the other Borrower shall be limited to that amount paid by the Paying
Borrower in excess of its Allocable Percentage of all Accommodation Payments
then outstanding of both Borrowers. As used herein, the term "Allocable
Percentage" shall mean, on any date of determination thereof, a fraction the
denominator of which shall be 2 and the numerator of which shall be 1.

           5.12.5. Subordination. Each Borrower hereby subordinates any claims,
including any right of payment, subrogation, contribution and indemnity, that it
may have from or against any other Obligor, and any successor or assign of any
other Obligor, including any trustee, receiver or debtor-in-possession,
howsoever arising, due or owing or whether heretofore, now or hereafter
existing, to the payment in full of all of the Obligations.

SECTION 6.  COMMITTED TERM AND TERMINATION OF COMMITMENTS

     6.1.  Committed Term of Revolver Commitments. Subject to each Lender's
right to cease making Revolver Loans or other extensions of credit hereunder to
Borrowers when any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 11.2 are not
satisfied (provided that such Lender has complied with the provisions of Section
4.1.2) or upon termination of the Revolver Commitments as provided in Section
6.2 hereof, the Revolver Commitments shall be in effect for the Committed Term.

                                     - 63 -

<PAGE>

     6.2.  TERMINATION.

           6.2.1.   Termination by Agent. Agent may (and upon the direction of
the Required Lenders, shall) terminate the Revolver Commitments without notice
at any time that an Event of Default exists; provided that the Revolver
Commitments shall automatically terminate as provided in Section 12.2 hereof.

           6.2.2.   Termination by Borrowers. Upon at least 10 Domestic Business
Days prior written notice to Agent, Borrowers may, at their option, terminate
the Revolver Commitments; provided, that no such termination by Borrowers shall
be effective until Borrowers have satisfied all of the Obligations and executed
in favor of and delivered to Agent and each Lender a general release of all
Indemnified Claims that each Borrower may have against either of Agent or any
Lender. Any notice of termination given by Borrowers shall be irrevocable unless
Agent otherwise agrees in writing. Borrowers may elect to terminate the Revolver
Commitments in their entirety only. No section of this Agreement, Type of
Revolver Loan available hereunder or Revolver Commitment may be terminated by
Borrowers singly.

           6.2.3.   Effect of Termination. On the effective date of termination
of the Revolver Commitments by Agent or by Borrowers, all of the Obligations
shall be immediately due and payable and Lenders shall have no obligation to
make any Revolver Loans or issue any Letter of Credit. All undertakings,
agreements, covenants, warranties and representations of each Borrower contained
in the Credit Documents shall survive any such termination and Agent shall
retain its Liens in Collateral and all of its rights and remedies under the
Credit Documents notwithstanding such termination until Borrowers have satisfied
the Obligations to Agent and Lenders, in full. For purposes hereof, the
Obligations shall not be deemed to have been satisfied until all Obligations for
the payment of money have been paid to Agent in same day funds and all
Obligations that are at the time in question contingent (including all LC
Obligations that exist by virtue of an outstanding Letter of Credit) have been
fully cash collateralized in favor and to the satisfaction of Agent or Agent has
received as beneficiary a direct pay letter of credit in form and from an LC
Issuer acceptable to Agent (based upon Agent's customary criteria for
determining the acceptability to it of such LC Issuers) and providing for direct
payment to Agent of all such contingent Obligations at the time they become
fixed. Notwithstanding the payment in full of the Obligations, Agent shall not
be required to terminate its security interests in any of the Collateral unless,
with respect to any loss or damage Agent may incur as a result of the dishonor
or return of any Payment Items applied to the Obligations, Agent shall have
received either (i) a written agreement, executed by Borrowers and any Person
whose loans or other advances to Borrowers are used in whole or in part to
satisfy the Obligations, indemnifying Agent and Lenders from any such loss or
damage; or (ii) such monetary reserves and Liens on Collateral for such period
of time as Agent, in its reasonable discretion, may deem necessary to protect
Agent from any such loss or damage. All obligations of Borrowers to indemnify
Agent and each Lender pursuant to this Agreement shall in all events survive any
termination of the Revolver Commitments.

SECTION 7.   COLLATERAL

     7.1.  Collateral for Obligations. The prompt payment and performance of all
of the Obligations shall be secured by the Liens granted to Agent for the
benefit of the Lender Group pursuant to the Security Documents, to the extent
provided in the Security Documents, including the Liens created by the Mortgages
upon all Real Estate and the Liens created under the Borrower Security Agreement
and the Guarantor Security Agreements.

     7.2.  Real Estate as Collateral. On or before April 25, 2003, each Borrower
shall, and shall cause each Obligor to, execute and deliver to Agent all
Mortgages that such Borrower or Obligor is requested by

                                     - 64 -

<PAGE>

Agent to execute with respect to the Real Estate, after first complying with the
provisions of Sections 10.1.11 through 10.1.13 and obtaining and delivering to
Agent all other Real Property Documentation.

     7.3   Commercial Tort Claims. Within 30 days after a Borrower or a
Guarantor makes a filing or appearance in court as a claimant with respect to a
Commercial Tort Claim (as defined in the UCC) for damages equal to or exceeding
$100,000 (and if no dollar amount of recovery is expressly set forth in a
filing, such amount shall be the amount such Borrower or such Guarantor in good
faith believes to be the amount of recoverable damages), Borrowers shall send to
Agent and Lender written notice, signed by such Borrower or such Guarantor,
containing the following: (i) an identification of the parties involved, the
amount claimed for damages by such Borrower or such Guarantor, and the events
that gave rise to such Commercial Tort Claim, and (ii) a grant of a security
interest in such Commercial Tort Claim in favor of Agent for the benefit of the
Lender Group. Agent shall be authorized to amend any UCC-1 financing statements,
without further authorization by such Borrower or such Guarantor, in order to
include an identification of such Commercial Tort Claim as part of the
Collateral.

     7.4.  Lien Perfection; Further Assurances. Promptly after Agent's request
therefor, each Borrower shall execute and deliver to Agent such instruments,
assignments or documents as are necessary under the UCC or other Applicable Law
to perfect Agent's Liens in any of the Collateral, and shall take such other
action as may be requested by Agent to enable Agent to obtain "control" (within
the meaning of Revised Article 9 of the UCC) with respect to any Collateral
consisting of investment property, a Deposit Account, electronic chattel paper
or letter of credit rights having an individual value in excess of $25,000 or
having an aggregate value of $250,000 or less, or give effect to or carry out
the intent and purposes of this Agreement or any of the Security Documents.

SECTION  8.  COLLATERAL ADMINISTRATION

     8.1.  GENERAL PROVISIONS.

           8.1.1. Location of Collateral. All tangible items of Collateral,
other than Inventory in transit,  shall at all times be kept by Borrowers at one
or more of the  business  locations  of  Borrowers  set forth in Schedule  8.1.1
hereto and shall not be moved  therefrom,  without the prior written approval of
Agent, except that in the absence of an Event of Default and acceleration of the
maturity  of  the  Obligations  in  consequence  thereof,   Remington  may  have
Inventory,  Equipment or any record  relating to  Collateral at locations in the
United  States as long as (i) with  respect  to any  location  other than as set
forth in Schedule 8.1.1 at which Inventory in an aggregate  amount of $2,500,000
or more  (or  $175,000  or more  per  location)  and  Equipment  (if  any) in an
aggregate  amount of  $2,500,000  or more (or $175,000 or more per  location) is
located,  Borrowers shall have obtained a Lien Waiver,  and (ii) with respect to
any other  location,  Borrowers  shall have  given  Agent at least 10 days prior
written notice of such location prior to moving Collateral to such location, and
(iii) make sales or other dispositions of Collateral to the extent authorized by
Section 10.2.9 hereof.

           8.1.2.  Insurance of Collateral; Condemnation Proceeds.

               (i)     Borrowers shall maintain and pay for insurance upon all
Collateral, wherever located, covering casualty, hazard, public liability,
theft, malicious mischief, and such other risks in such amounts and with such
insurance companies as are satisfactory to Agent and with an insurance company
with a Best's rating of "A" or better and a financial size category of not less
than XII. All proceeds payable under each such policy shall be payable to Agent
for application to the Obligations. Borrowers shall deliver the originals or
certified copies of such policies to Agent with satisfactory lender's loss
payable endorsements

                                     - 65 -

<PAGE>

reasonably satisfactory to Agent, naming Agent as sole lender's loss payee,
assignee or additional insured, as appropriate. Each policy of insurance or
endorsement shall contain a clause requiring the insurer to give not less than
30 days prior written notice to Agent in the event of cancellation of the policy
for any reason whatsoever and a clause specifying that the interest of Agent
shall not be impaired or invalidated by any act or neglect of a Borrower or the
owner of the Property or by the occupation of the premises for purposes more
hazardous than are permitted by said policy. If the Borrowers fail to provide
and pay for such insurance, Agent may, at its option, but shall not be required
to, procure the same and charge Borrowers therefor. Borrowers agree to deliver
to Agent, promptly as rendered, true copies of all reports made in any reporting
forms to insurance companies. For so long as no Event of Default exists,
Borrowers shall have the right to settle, adjust and compromise any claim with
respect to any insurance maintained by Borrowers provided that all proceeds
thereof are applied in the manner specified in this Agreement, and Agent agrees
promptly to provide any necessary endorsement to any checks or drafts issued in
payment of any such claim. At any time that an Event of Default exists, only
Agent shall be authorized to settle, adjust and compromise such claims and Agent
shall have all rights and remedies with respect to such policies of insurance as
are provided for in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

               (ii)    Any proceeds of insurance referred to in this Section
8.1.2 and any condemnation awards that are paid to Agent in connection with a
condemnation of Collateral shall be paid to Agent and applied first to the
payment of the Revolver Loans and then to any other Obligations outstanding,
provided that if requested by Borrowers in writing within 30 days after Agent's
receipt of such proceeds relating to Equipment or Real Estate and if no Default
or Event of Default exists, Borrowers may apply such proceeds to repair or
replace the damaged or destroyed Equipment or Real Estate so long as (1) such
repair or replacement is promptly undertaken and concluded, (2) the repaired or
replaced Property is at all times free and clear of Liens other than Permitted
Liens and permits Borrowers to resume productivity comparable to Borrowers'
productivity levels prior to the loss, and (3) the amount of proceeds from any
single casualty affecting Equipment or Real Estate does not exceed $2,500,000.

           8.1.3.   Protection of Collateral. All reasonable costs and expenses
of protecting, storing, warehousing, insuring, handling, maintaining and
shipping of the Collateral, all Taxes imposed under any Applicable Law on any of
the Collateral or in respect of the sale thereof, and all other payments
required to be made by Agent to any Person to realize upon the Collateral shall
be borne and paid by Borrowers. If the Borrowers fail to pay promptly any
portion thereof when due, Agent may, at its option, but shall not be required
to, pay the same and charge Borrowers therefor. Neither Agent nor any Lender
shall be liable or responsible in any way for the safekeeping of any of the
Collateral or for any loss or damage thereto (except for reasonable care in the
custody thereof while any Collateral is in Agent's actual possession) or for any
diminution in the value thereof, or for any act or default of any warehouseman,
carrier, forwarding agency, or other Person whomsoever, but the same shall be at
each Borrower's sole risk.

           8.1.4.   Defense of Title to Collateral. Borrowers shall at all times
jointly and severally defend their respective title to the Collateral and
Agent's Liens therein against all Persons and all claims and demands whatsoever.

     8.2.  ADMINISTRATION OF ACCOUNTS.

           8.2.1.   Records and Schedules of Accounts. Each Borrower shall keep
accurate and complete records of its Accounts and all payments and collections
thereon and shall submit to Agent with each Borrowing Base Certificate to be
delivered pursuant to Section 8.5, or on such other periodic basis as Agent
shall request a sales and collections report for the preceding period, in form
satisfactory to Agent. Each

                                     - 66 -

<PAGE>

Borrower shall also provide to Agent, in form acceptable to Agent, a detailed
aged trial balance of its Accounts existing as of the last day of the preceding
month, specifying the names, addresses, face value, dates of invoices and due
dates for each Account Debtor obligated on an Account so listed ("Schedule of
Accounts"), and, upon Agent's request therefor, copies of proof of delivery and
the original copy of all documents, including repayment histories and present
status reports relating to the Accounts so scheduled and such other matters and
information relating to the status of then existing Accounts as Agent shall
reasonably request. In addition, if Accounts of a Borrower in an aggregate face
amount in excess of $1,000,000 cease to be Eligible Accounts, in whole or in
part, Borrowers shall notify Agent of such occurrence promptly (and in any event
within 2 Domestic Business Days) after a Borrower's having obtained knowledge of
such occurrence and the Borrowing Base shall thereupon be adjusted to reflect
such occurrence. Each Borrower shall deliver to Agent, upon Agent's request,
copies of invoices or invoice registers related to all of its Accounts.

           8.2.2.   Discounts, Disputes and Returns. If a Borrower grants any
discounts, allowances or credits (including co-operative advertising and volume
rebates) that are not shown on the face of the invoice for the Account involved,
Borrowers shall report such discounts, allowances or credits, as the case may be
to Agent as part of the next required Schedule of Accounts. If any amounts due
and owing in excess of $1,000,000 are in dispute between a Borrower and any
Account Debtor, or if any returns are made in excess of $1,000,000 with respect
to any Accounts owing from an Account Debtor, such Borrower shall provide Agent
with written notice thereof at the time of submission of the next Schedule of
Accounts, explaining in detail the reason for the dispute or return, all claims
related thereto and the amount in controversy. Upon and after the occurrence of
an Event of Default, Agent shall have the right to settle or adjust all disputes
and claims directly with the Account Debtor and to compromise the amount or
extend the time for payment of any Accounts of a Borrower upon such terms and
conditions as Agent may deem advisable, and to charge the deficiencies, costs
and expenses thereof, including attorney's fees, to Borrowers.

           8.2.3.   Taxes. If an Account of a Borrower includes a charge for any
Taxes payable to any governmental taxing authority, Agent may, in its sole
discretion, after notice to Borrower, to pay the amount thereof to the proper
taxing authority for the account of Borrowers and to charge Borrowers therefor;
provided, however, that neither Agent nor any Lenders shall be liable for any
Taxes that may be due by a Borrower.

           8.2.4.   Account Verification. Whether or not a Default or an Event
of Default exists, Agent shall have the right at any time, in the name of Agent,
any designee of Agent or a Borrower to verify the validity, amount or any other
matter relating to any Accounts of a Borrower by mail, telephone, telegraph or
otherwise. Each Borrower shall cooperate fully with Agent in an effort to
facilitate and promptly conclude any such verification process.

           8.2.5.   Lockbox; Collateral Reserve Account; Control Agreements. (i)
On or before the Closing Date, each Borrower and each Guarantor shall establish
and continually maintain with Agent one or more Collateral Reserve Accounts and
shall join with Agent in executing Deposit Account Control Agreements with each
depository bank other than Wachovia (so that all such depository banks become
Approved Depositories) into which is deposited an aggregate amount in excess of
$25,000 of cash and Payment Items which such Borrower or Guarantor has or may at
any time hereafter receive in full or partial payment for any Inventory, in
respect of any Borrower's or Guarantor's Accounts, Chattel Paper or General
Intangibles. In addition, each Borrower and each Guarantor receiving any Net
Disposition Proceeds which are required to be applied to prepayment of the
Revolver Loans pursuant to Section 5.4(a) shall (or shall cause each other
Person receiving such Net Disposition Proceeds to) promptly remit all such
proceeds to Agent. In the event that any cash or Payment Items are inadvertently
received by an Obligor or any other Person, other than in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, such Obligor or other Person shall be deemed to hold
the

                                     - 67 -

<PAGE>

same in trust for the benefit of Agent and shall promptly forward them to Agent
or another Approved Depository. Subject to the provisions of clauses (ii) and
(iii) below, all amounts held by Approved Depositories may be transferred to the
operating account of a Borrower or a Guarantor in the Ordinary Course of
Business.

               (ii)    If at any time a Cash Management Event (as defined below)
occurs, each Borrower and each relevant Guarantor shall promptly open a lockbox
with Agent (in either case, a "Lockbox") (or at the option of Agent, Agent shall
be given exclusive control of the existing lockbox or lockboxes), in either
case, "Lockbox") and Agent shall notify Wachovia and all other Approved
Depositories to remit balances in Deposit Accounts maintained by them to Agent.
Agent agrees not to exercise its exclusive control over any such Deposit
Accounts except after and during the continuance of a Cash Management Event.
Agent also agrees, upon Borrowers' written request, to notify Wachovia and all
other Approved Depositories to remit balances in Deposit Accounts maintained by
them to Borrowers after the occurrence of a Cash Management Reinstatement Event
(as defined below, unless a subsequent Cash Management Event shall occur,
whereupon Agent shall notify Wachovia and all other Approved Depositories to
remit balances in Deposit Accounts maintained by them to Agent). Agent shall
remove from all Lockboxes, and shall deposit to a Collateral Reserve Account
promptly after receipt, all cash and Payment Items received from Account Debtors
and all amounts received from Approved Depositories and, subject to clause (iii)
below, Agent shall apply the proceeds thereof against the Obligations in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, with remaining collected amounts in
each Collateral Reserve Account to be transferred by Agent to the operating
account of a Borrower, provided that Net Deposition Proceeds shall be held
subject to the provisions of Section 5.4. As used herein, the term "Cash
Management Event" shall mean the occurrence or existence of any of the following
events or conditions: (x) Availability on any date shall be less than
$12,500,000 (whether or not Availability shall thereafter equal or exceed such
amount); (y) there shall occur any event or condition that has had or could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, as determined in the
reasonable judgment of Agent or the Required Lenders; or (z) an Event of Default
shall exist and Agent or the Required Lenders shall have, in its or their sole
discretion, elected to enforce, collect and receive all amounts owing with
respect to the Accounts and/or other Collateral. As used herein, the term "Cash
Management Reinstatement Event" shall mean the occurrence or existence of the
following events or conditions after a Cash Management Event has occurred: (i)
Availability shall have been not less than $17,500,000 for a period of 90
consecutive days after the occurrence of a Cash Management Event and (ii) during
such 90-day period no event or condition shall exist which would constitute a
Cash Management Event.

               (iii)   At any time that an Event of Default exists, Agent may at
any time in its sole credit judgment, and shall if requested to do so in writing
by the Required Lenders, direct Account Debtors to make payments with respect to
any or all of the Accounts, Chattel Paper and General Intangibles of Borrowers
and Guarantors directly to Agent, and the Account Debtors are hereby authorized
and directed to do so by Borrowers and Guarantors upon Agent's direction, and
the funds so received shall be deposited in a Collateral Reserve Account, and
all amounts in a Collateral Reserve Account during the existence of any such
Event of Default may be applied by Agent to the Obligations in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement.

     8.3.  ADMINISTRATION OF INVENTORY.

           8.3.1.   Records and Reports of Inventory. Each Borrower shall keep
accurate and complete records of its Inventory and shall furnish Agent and
Lenders inventory reports respecting such Inventory in form and detail
satisfactory to Agent and Lenders at such times as Agent and Lenders may
request, but so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, no more
frequently than once each week. Each Borrower shall either (i) conduct a
physical inventory of its Inventory, or (ii) maintain a program of cycle
counting of Inventory

<PAGE>

(which program is acceptable to, and has been certified by, its certified public
accountants), in each case as often as Agent may request but so long as no
Default or Event of Default exists, no more frequently than once each Fiscal
Year, and shall provide to Agent and Lenders a report based on each such
physical inventory promptly thereafter, together with such supporting
information as Agent shall request.

           8.3.2.   Returns of Inventory. No Borrower shall return any of its
Inventory to a supplier or vendor thereof, or any other Person, whether for
cash, credit against future purchases or then existing payables, or otherwise,
unless (i) such return is in the Ordinary Course of Business of such Borrower;
(ii) no Default or Event of Default exists at the time of such return or would
result therefrom; (iii) the return of such Inventory will not result in an
Out-of-Formula Condition; and (iv) any payments received by a Borrower in
connection with any such return are promptly turned over to Agent for
application to the Obligations.

     8.4. ADMINISTRATION OF EQUIPMENT.

           8.4.1.   Records and Schedules of Equipment. Each Borrower shall keep
accurate records itemizing and describing the kind, type, quality, quantity and
value of its Equipment and all dispositions made in accordance with Section
8.4.2 hereof, and shall furnish Agent and Lenders with a current schedule
containing the foregoing information on an annual basis and, at any time that a
Default or Event of Default exists as and when requested by Agent (but in no
event more frequently than 4 times per calendar year). Promptly after request
therefor by Agent, each Borrower shall deliver to Agent and Lenders any and all
evidence (if any) of ownership of any of the Equipment.

           8.4.2.   Dispositions of Equipment. No Borrower shall sell, lease or
otherwise dispose of or transfer any of its Equipment or any part thereof
without the prior written consent of Agent; provided, however, that the
foregoing restriction shall not apply, for so long as no Default or Event of
Default exists, to (i) dispositions which, in the aggregate as to Borrowers
during any consecutive 12-month period, have a fair market value or book value,
whichever is more, of $2,000,000 or less, provided that all Net Disposition
Proceeds thereof are remitted to Agent for application to the Obligations; (ii)
replacements of Equipment that is substantially worn, damaged or obsolete with
Equipment of like kind, function and value, provided that the replacement
Equipment shall be acquired prior to or concurrently with any disposition of the
Equipment that is to be replaced, the replacement Equipment shall be free and
clear of Liens other than Permitted Liens that are not Purchase Money Liens, and
Borrowers shall have given Agent at least 10 days prior written notice of any
such disposition that involves Equipment having a fair market value or book
value, whichever is more, of $500,000 or more; and (iii) dispositions authorized
by Section 10.2.9(ii), provided that all Net Disposition Proceeds thereof are
remitted to Agent for application to the Obligations.

           8.4.3.   Condition of Equipment. The Equipment is in good operating
condition and repair, and all necessary replacements of and repairs thereto
shall be made so that the value and operating efficiency of the Equipment shall
be maintained and preserved, reasonable wear and tear excepted. No Borrower will
permit any of its Equipment to become affixed to any real Property leased to
each Borrower so that an interest arises therein under the real estate laws of
the applicable jurisdiction unless the landlord of such real Property has
executed a landlord waiver or leasehold mortgage in favor of and in form
acceptable to Agent, and no Borrower will permit any of its Equipment to become
an accession to any personal Property that is subject to a Lien unless the Lien
is a Permitted Lien (other than a Purchase Money Lien).

           8.4.4.  Appraisals.  Agent reserves the right, exercisable from time
to time hereafter in Agent's credit judgment, to require each Borrower and each
Guarantor to obtain, and each Borrower and each Guarantor shall promptly obtain,
at each Borrower's expense, appraisals or updates to existing appraisals being

                                     - 69 -

<PAGE>

obtained in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
reflecting then current values of the Equipment; provided, however, that unless
a Default or Event of Default exists, not more than one such appraisal annually
shall be conducted at Borrowers' expense. Nothing herein shall be construed to
prohibit Agent from obtaining any such appraisal, either directly or through any
Agent Professional, and charging the cost of any such appraisal to Borrowers,
subject to the limitations hereinabove set forth when no Default or Event of
Default exists.

     8.5.  Borrowing Base Certificates. Borrowers shall deliver to Agent a
Borrowing Base Certificate each month, on the 15th day of such month, in which
the Borrowing Base shall be calculated as of the last day of the immediately
preceding month (each a "Monthly Borrowing Base Certificate"); provided,
however, that (i) if on any date Availability (as reflected in a Borrowing Base
Certificate or as independently determined by Agent) is less than $12,500,000,
then Agent may also require Borrowers to deliver (a) Borrowing Base Certificate
on or before the third Domestic Business Day of each week, in which the
Borrowing Base shall be calculated as of the last day of the immediately
preceding week (each a "Weekly Borrowing Base Certificate"); and (ii) if on any
date Availability is less than $8,000,000 or the aggregate amount of outstanding
Revolver Loans exceeds the Formula Amount as shown on the last Borrowing Base
Certificate or as otherwise calculated by Agent, then, without limiting any
other right or remedy of Agent or Lenders hereunder as a consequence of any such
Out-of-Formula Condition, Agent may also require Borrowers to deliver to Agent a
Borrowing Base Certificate on each Domestic Business Day (each a "Daily
Borrowing Base Certificate"); and provided further, however, that, if Agent
shall require Borrowers to submit Borrowing Base Certificates more frequently
than once a month, the calculations shown in each Daily Borrowing Base
Certificate or Weekly Borrowing Base Certificate, as applicable, need show only
changes in the Accounts and the components of the Accounts (for the avoidance of
doubt the other components of the Borrowing Base shall be adjusted at the time
of and reflected on each subsequent Monthly Borrowing Base Certificate). All
calculations of Availability in connection with the preparation of any Borrowing
Base Certificate shall originally be made by Borrowers and certified to Agent,
provided that Agent shall have the right to review and adjust, in the exercise
of its credit judgment, any such calculation (i) to reflect its reasonable
estimate of any decline in value of Collateral described therein, (ii) to the
extent that such calculation is not made by Borrowers in accordance with this
Agreement, and (iii) to the extent that such calculation does not accurately
reflect the amount of the Availability Reserve. In no event shall the Borrowing
Base on any date be deemed to exceed the amount of the Borrowing Base shown on
the Borrowing Base Certificate last received by Agent prior to such date, as
such Borrowing Base Certificate may be adjusted by Agent as herein authorized.

     8.6.  Collateral Reporting. Borrowers shall deliver to Agent (i) together
with the Borrowing Base Certificate to be delivered pursuant to Section 8.5, a
Schedule of Accounts, inventory and consigned inventory reports, and (ii) on or
before the 15th day of each month, a summary of accounts payable, each in form
and detail satisfactory to Agent and Lenders. Each such report or summary shall
include all supporting documentation requested by Agent and Lenders.

     8.7.  Payment of Charges. All amounts  chargeable to Borrowers  under this
Section 8 shall be  Obligations  secured by all of the  Collateral  and shall be
payable on demand.

SECTION 9.   REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

     9.1.  General Representations and Warranties. To induce Agent and Lenders
to enter into this  Agreement and to make  available  the Revolver  Commitments,
each Borrower warrants and represents to Agent and Lenders that:

                                     - 70 -

<PAGE>

           9.1.1.   Organization and Qualification. Each Borrower and each of
its Subsidiaries is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization. Each Borrower
and each of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified and is authorized to do business
and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or limited liability company in
each state or jurisdiction listed on Schedule 9.1.1 hereto and in all other
states and jurisdictions in which the failure of such Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries to be so qualified could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

           9.1.2.   Power and Authority. Each Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries  is duly authorized and empowered to enter into,  execute,  deliver
and perform this Agreement and each of the other Credit Documents to which it is
a party.  The execution,  delivery and performance of this Agreement and each of
the other Credit Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary action and
do not and will not (i) require any consent or approval of any of the holders of
Equity Interests of any Obligor;  (ii) contravene the Organization  Documents of
any Obligor;  (iii) violate,  or cause any Obligor to be in default  under,  any
provision of any Applicable  Law, order,  writ,  judgment,  injunction,  decree,
determination  or award in effect having  applicability  to such  Obligor;  (iv)
result in a breach of or  constitute  a default  under any  indenture or loan or
credit  agreement  or any  other  agreement,  lease or  instrument  to which any
Obligor is a party or by which it or its Properties may be bound or affected, to
the extent that any such breach or default could  reasonably be expected to have
a Material  Adverse  Effect;  or (v)  result in, or  require,  the  creation  or
imposition of any Lien (other than Permitted  Liens) upon or with respect to any
of the Properties now owned or hereafter acquired by any Obligor.

           9.1.3.   Legally Enforceable Agreement. This Agreement is, and each
of the other Credit Documents when delivered under this Agreement will be, a
legal, valid and binding obligation of each Obligor party thereto enforceable
against such Obligor in accordance with the respective terms of such Credit
Documents, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by laws relating
to Insolvency Proceeding or other similar laws of general application affecting
the enforcement of creditors' rights generally or by general equitable
principles.

           9.1.4.   Capital Structure. As of the date hereof, Schedule 9.1.4
hereto  states (i) the correct  name of each  Subsidiary,  its  jurisdiction  of
organization  and the  percentage  of its Equity  Interest  having voting powers
owned by each Person, (ii) the name of each corporate Affiliate of each Borrower
and the nature of the  affiliation and (iii) the number of authorized and issued
Equity  Interests  (and  treasury  shares)  of  each  Borrower  and  each of its
Subsidiaries.  Each  Borrower has good title to all of the shares it purports to
own of the Equity Interests of each of its Subsidiaries,  free and clear in each
case of any Lien other than Permitted Liens. All such Equity Interests have been
validly  issued in  accordance  with all  Applicable  Law and are fully paid and
non-assessable.

           9.1.5.   Corporate Names. During the 5-year period preceding the date
of this Agreement,  no Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has been known as or
used any  corporate,  fictitious  or trade names except those listed on Schedule
9.1.5 hereto.  Except as set forth on Schedule 9.1.5, no Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries has been the surviving  corporation of a merger or consolidation or
acquired all or substantially all of the assets of any Person.

           9.1.6.   Business Locations; Agent for Process. As of the date
hereof, the chief executive office and other places of business of each Borrower
and each of its Subsidiaries are as listed on Schedule 8.1.1 hereto. During the
5-year period preceding the date of this Agreement, no Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries has had an office, place of business or agent for service of
process other than as listed on Schedule 8.1.1. Except as shown on Schedule
8.1.1 on the date hereof, no Inventory of a Borrower having an

                                     - 71 -

<PAGE>

aggregate Value in excess of $175,000 per location or $2,500,000 for all
locations is stored with a bailee, warehouseman or similar Person from whom a
Lien Waiver has not been obtained nor is any Inventory consigned to any Person.

           9.1.7.   Title to Properties; Priority of Liens. Each Borrower and
each of its  Subsidiaries  has  good  and  marketable  title  to and fee  simple
ownership of, or valid and  subsisting  leasehold  interests in, all of its real
Property,  and good title to all of its  material  items of  personal  Property,
including  all Property  reflected in the  financial  statements  referred to in
Section  9.1.9 or delivered  pursuant to Section  10.1.3,  in each case free and
clear of all Liens except Permitted Liens and Liens claimed with respect to Debt
that is being Properly Contested. Each Borrower has paid or discharged,  and has
caused each of its  Subsidiaries to pay and discharge,  all lawful claims which,
if unpaid,  could reasonably be expected to become a Lien against any Properties
of such  Borrower or such  Subsidiary  that is not a Permitted  Lien.  The Liens
granted to Agent under the Security Documents are first priority Liens,  subject
only to those Permitted Liens which are expressly  permitted by the terms of the
Credit Documents to have priority over the Liens of Agent.

           9.1.8.   Accounts. Agent may rely, in determining which Accounts of a
Borrower are Eligible Accounts, on all statements and representations made by
such Borrower with respect to any Accounts. Unless otherwise indicated in
writing to Agent, with respect to each Account of a Borrower, such Borrower
warrants that:

               (i)     It is genuine and in all respects what it purports to be,
     and it is not evidenced by a judgment;

               (ii)    It arises out of a completed, bona fide sale and
     delivery of goods by such Borrower in the Ordinary Course of its Business
     and substantially in accordance with the terms and conditions of all
     purchase orders, contracts or other documents relating thereto and forming
     a part of the contract between such Borrower and the Account Debtor;

               (iii)   It is for a liquidated amount maturing as stated in the
     duplicate invoice covering such sale or rendition of services, a copy of
     which has been furnished or is available to Agent on request;

               (iv)    Such Account, and Agent's security interest therein, is
     not, and will not (by voluntary act or omission of such Borrower) be in the
     future, subject to any offset, Lien, deduction, defense, dispute,
     counterclaim or any other adverse condition, except offsets for advertising
     allowances and disputes resulting in returned goods where the amount in
     controversy is reasonably determined by Agent to be immaterial, and each
     such Account is absolutely owing to such Borrower and is not contingent in
     any respect or for any reason;

               (v)     The contract under which such Account arose does not
     condition or restrict such Borrower's right to assign to Agent the right to
     payment thereunder unless such Borrower has obtained the Account Debtor's
     consent to such Collateral assignment or complied with any conditions to
     such assignment (regardless of whether under the UCC or other Applicable
     Law any such restrictions are ineffective to prevent the grant of a Lien
     upon such Account in favor of Agent);

               (vi)    Such Borrower has not made any agreement with any Account
     Debtor thereunder for any extension, compromise, settlement or modification
     of any such Account or any deduction therefrom, except discounts or
     allowances which are granted by such Borrower in the

                                     - 72 -

<PAGE>

     ordinary course of its business for prompt payment and which are reflected
     in the calculation of the net amount of each respective invoice related
     thereto and are reflected in the Schedules of Accounts and Borrowing Base
     Certificates submitted to Agent pursuant to this Agreement;

               (vii)   To the best of such Borrower's knowledge, there are no
     facts, events or occurrences which are reasonably likely to impair the
     validity or enforceability of any of its Accounts or reduce the amount
     payable thereunder from the face amount of the invoice and statements
     delivered to Agent with respect thereto;

               (viii)  To the best of such Borrower's knowledge, the Account
     Debtor thereunder (1) had the capacity to contract at the time any contract
     or other document giving rise to the Account was executed and (2) such
     Account Debtor is Solvent; and

               (ix)    To the best of such Borrower's knowledge, there are no
     proceedings or actions which are threatened or pending against any Account
     Debtor thereunder and which are reasonably likely to result in any material
     adverse change in such Account Debtor's financial condition or the
     collectibility of such Account.

           9.1.9.   Financial Statements. Except as disclosed on Schedule 9.1.9,
the Consolidated balance sheets of Borrowers and such other Persons described
therein (including the accounts of all Subsidiaries of Borrowers for the
respective periods during which a Subsidiary relationship existed) as of
September 30, 2002, and the related statements of income, changes in
stockholder's equity, and changes in financial position for the periods ended on
such dates, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, and present fairly the
Consolidated financial positions of each Borrower and such Persons at such dates
and the results of each Borrower's operations for such periods. Since September
30, 2002, except for the Special Distribution, there has been no material
adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, of either Borrower and
such other Persons as shown on the Consolidated financial statements as of such
date.

           9.1.10.  Full Disclosure. All information, other than financial
projections, pro forma information and forward looking statements, which has
been or is hereafter made available to Agent or any of Lenders by or on behalf
of either Borrower or any of their representatives in connection with this
Agreement, when taken as a whole with the Company's public filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, is and will be complete and correct in all
material respects as of the date made available to Agent or Lenders and does not
and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not materially
misleading and (ii) all financial projections, estimates, pro forma information
and forward looking statements concerning Borrowers and their Subsidiaries that
have been or are hereafter made available to Agent or any of Lenders have been
or will be prepared in good faith based upon reasonable assumptions.

           9.1.11.  Solvent Financial Condition. Each Obligor is now Solvent
and, after giving effect to the Revolver Loans to be made and each Letter of
Credit to be issued hereunder and the consummation of the other transactions
described in the Credit Documents, each Obligor will be and remain Solvent.

           9.1.12.  Surety Obligations. Except as set forth on Schedule 9.1.12
hereto on the date hereof, no Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is obligated
as surety or indemnitor under any surety or similar bond or other contract
issued or entered into to assure payment, performance or completion of
performance of any undertaking or obligation of any Person.

                                     - 73 -

<PAGE>

           9.1.13.  Taxes. The federal tax identification number of each
Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is as shown on Schedule 9.1.13 hereto.
Each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has filed all federal, state,
municipal, local, and foreign tax returns and other reports it is required by
law to file and has paid, or made provision for the payment of, all Taxes upon
it, its income and Properties as and when such Taxes are due and payable, except
to the extent that such Taxes are being Properly Contested and except where the
same could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The
provision for Taxes on the books of each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries
is appropriate in accordance with GAAP for all years not closed by applicable
statutes, and for its current Fiscal Year.

           9.1.14.  Brokers. There are no claims for brokerage commissions,
finder's fees or investment banking fees in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, other than
placement fees payable solely by Borrowers (and not by any Lender Group Member)
in connection with the issuance of the New Senior Notes.

           9.1.15.  Intellectual Property. Each Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries owns, or has the legal right to use, the Intellectual Property
necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted except for
those in respect of which the failure to own or have such legal right to use
could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No claim has
been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of
any such Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any such
Intellectual Property, nor does either Borrower know of any such claim, and to
the knowledge of the Borrowers, the use of such Intellectual Property by each
Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries does not infringe on the rights of any
Person, except for such claims and infringements that in the aggregate, could
not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

           9.1.16.  Governmental Approvals. Each Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries has, and is in good standing with respect to, all Governmental
Approvals necessary to continue to conduct its business as heretofore or
proposed to be conducted by it and to own or lease and operate its Properties as
now owned or leased by it, except to the extent any failure to have or obtain
such Governmental Approvals or to be in good standing could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

           9.1.17.  Compliance with Laws. Each Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries has duly complied with, and its Properties, business operations and
leaseholds are in compliance in all material respects with, the provisions of
all Applicable Law (except to the extent that any such noncompliance with
Applicable Law could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect) and there have been no citations, notices or orders of noncompliance
issued to a Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under any such law, rule or
regulation, other than as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. No Inventory has been produced, stored, distributed or sold in
violation of the FLSA and Gun Control Laws. With respect to matters arising
under any Environmental Laws, the representations and warranties contained in
Section 9.1.30 are true and correct on the date hereof.

           9.1.18.  Restrictions. No Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is a
party or subject to any contract, agreement, or charter or other corporate
restriction, which has or could be reasonably expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. Except as set forth on Schedule 9.1.18 hereto, no Borrower nor
any of its Subsidiaries is a party or subject to any contract or agreement
(other than this Agreement and the Senior Note Indenture) which restricts its
right or ability to incur Debt, none of which prohibit the execution of or
compliance with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents by any Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable.

           9.1.19.  Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 9.1.19 hereto,
there are no actions, suits, or proceedings pending on the date hereof, or to
the knowledge of either Borrower, threatened on the date hereof, against or
affecting either Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or the business,
operations, Properties, profits or condition of either Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, which, is reasonably likely to be determined adversely to either
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and, if so determined, could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of Borrowers, no
Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default on the date hereof with
respect to any order, writ, injunction, judgment, decree or rule of any court,
Governmental Authority or arbitration board or tribunal.

           9.1.20.  No Defaults. No Default or Event of Default exists at the
time of,  or would  result  from,  the  funding  of any  Revolver  Loan or other
extension of credit. No Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default,  and
no event has occurred and no condition  exists which  constitutes  or which with
the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would  constitute a default,
under any  Material  Contract or in the payment of any Debt of such  Borrower or
any of its  Subsidiaries to any Person for Money Borrowed in an aggregate amount
exceeding $2,500,000.

           9.1.21.  Leases. Schedule 9.1.21 hereto is a complete listing of all
material capitalized and operating leases of each Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries on the date hereof. Each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is
in substantial compliance with all of the terms of each of its respective
capitalized and operating leases and no fact or situation exists upon which the
lessor under any such lease could terminate same or declare such Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries in default thereunder, except to the extent that such
termination or default could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

           9.1.22.  Pension Plans. Except as disclosed on Schedule 9.1.22
hereto, no Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has any Plan on the date hereof.
Each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is in substantial compliance with the
requirements of ERISA and the regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to
each Plan, except where failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect. No fact or situation that is reasonably likely
to result in a material adverse change in the financial condition of each
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries exists in connection with any Plan. No
Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has any withdrawal liability in connection
with a Multiemployer Plan, which liability could reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect or result in the imposition of any Lien that is not a
Permitted Lien.

           9.1.23.  RESERVED.

           9.1.24.  Labor Relations. Except as described on Schedule 9.1.24
hereto, no Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any collective
bargaining agreement on the date hereof. On the date hereof, there are no
material grievances, disputes or controversies with any union or any other
organization of a Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries' employees, or, to each
Borrower's knowledge, any threats of strikes, work stoppages or any asserted
pending demands for collective bargaining by any union or organization.

           9.1.25.  Investment Company Act; Public Utility Holding Company Act.
No Obligor is an "investment company" within the meaning of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, or a "holding company," or a "subsidiary company" of a
"holding company," or an "affiliate" of a "holding company" or of a "subsidiary
company" of a "holding company," within the meaning of the Public Utility
Holding Company Act of 1935.

           9.1.26.  Margin Stock. No Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is
engaged, principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of
extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock.

nor any of its Subsidiaries owns any Equity Interests or other than those
disclosed on Schedule 9.1.27 hereto.

           9.1.28.  Bank Accounts. As of the date of this Agreement, no Borrower
nor any of its Subsidiaries has any bank accounts other than those disclosed on
Schedule 9.1.28.

           9.1.29.  Mergers and Acquisitions. During the period of 48 months
immediately preceding the month in which the Closing Date occurs, no Borrower
has merged with or into, or acquired all or substantially all of the assets of
or Equity Interests in, any Person.

           9.1.30.  Environmental Representations and Warranties. Except as is
otherwise set forth on Schedule 9.1.30 attached hereto:

               (a) no Contamination is present at, on or under any of the Real
           Estate which could be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse
           Effect and no Contamination is being discharged or emitted from any

Substances which are naturally occurring on the Real Estate, but only in such
naturally occurring form;

           10.4.4.  not cause or permit, as a result of any intentional or
unintentional act or omission on the part of such Borrower or any tenant,

Substances which are used or present in the Ordinary Course of Business in
compliance with all Environmental Laws, are listed on Schedule 9.1.30 attached
hereto and have not been released into the environment in such a manner as to
constitute Contamination (except for releases which, in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to have

                                     - 90 -

a Material Adverse Effect and are promptly remediated), and (ii) those Regulated
Substances which are naturally occurring on the Premises, but only in such
naturally occurring form.

           10.4.5.  give notice and a full description to Agent promptly upon
such Borrower's acquiring knowledge of each of the following: (i) any
enforcement, clean-up, removal or other regulatory action threatened, instituted
or completed by any Governmental Authority with respect to such Borrower or any
of the Real Estate; (ii) any material claim made or threatened by any third
party against such Borrower or any Real Estate relating to damage, contribution,
compensation, loss or injury resulting from any Regulated Substances or
Contamination; and (iii) the presence of any Contamination on, under, from or
affecting any of the Real Estate;

Environmental Laws, all investigations, studies, sampling and testing, as well
as all remedial, removal and other actions necessary to clean up and remove all
Contamination on, under, from or affecting any of the Real Estate, to the extent

Adverse Effect or result in the imposition of a Lien that is not a Permitted
Lien, unless such action is being undertaken by Sellers pursuant to Sellers'
indemnification obligations to Remington;

           10.4.8.  obtain and maintain Environmental Permits relating to such

Agent's sole discretion, to commission an investigation into the presence of
Regulated Substances or Contamination on, from or affecting any of the Real
Estate, or the compliance with Environmental Laws at, or relating to, any of the
Real Estate. Such an investigation performed by Agent shall be at Borrowers'
expense if the performance of the investigation is commenced (i) upon or after
the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default; or (ii) because Agent has a
reasonable belief that an Obligor has violated any provision of any of the
Credit Documents (including any representation, warranty or covenant in this
Agreement). All other investigations performed by Agent shall be at Agent's and
Lenders' expense. In connection with any such investigation, each Borrower, its
tenants, subtenants, occupants and assigns, shall comply with all reasonable
requests for information made by Agent or its agents and each Borrower
represents and warrants that all responses to any such requests for information
will be correct and complete. Each Borrower covenants and agrees to provide
Agent and its consultants and advisors with rights of access to all areas of the
Real Estate and to permit Agent and its consultants and advisors to perform
testing (including any invasive testing) necessary or appropriate, in Agent's
reasonable judgment, to perform such investigation. Each Borrower acknowledges
and agrees that neither Agent nor any Lender is under any duty to conduct any
such investigations of the Real Estate and any such investigations by Agent
shall be solely for the purposes of protecting Agent's Liens upon the Real
Estate and preserving its rights under the Credit Documents. No site visit,
observation, or testing by Agent shall constitute a waiver of any Default or
Event of Default or be characterized as a representation regarding the presence
or absence of Regulated Substances or Contamination at the Real Estate. Neither
Agent nor any Lender owes any duty of care to protect Borrowers or any third
party from the presence of Regulated Substances, Contamination or any other
adverse condition affecting the Real Estate nor shall Agent or any Lender be
obligated to disclose

                                     - 91 -

<PAGE>

to Borrowers or any third party any report or findings made in connection with
any investigation done on behalf of Agent unless required by Applicable Law;

           10.4.10. promptly commence and perform any corrective work required
under Applicable Law to address any Environmental Damages ("Corrective Work"),
unless such Corrective Work is being performed by Sellers pursuant to its
indemnification obligations to Remington, after (i) a Borrower obtains actual
knowledge of any Contamination on, in, under, affecting, or migrating to or from
any of the Real Estate or any surrounding areas; or (ii) an event occurs for
which Agent can seek indemnification from a Borrower pursuant to Section 15.2;

           10.4.11. provide to Agent written notification at least 5 Domestic
Business Days prior to the commencement of any such Corrective Work, and to give
Agent periodic reports (no less frequently than quarterly), during the
performance of such Corrective Work, on such Borrower's progress with respect
thereto, and to promptly give Agent such other information with respect thereto
as Agent shall reasonably request. Such written notice shall contain the name of
the person or entity performing such Corrective Work and shall be accompanied
by: (i) written evidence, satisfactory in form and content to Agent, showing
that such person or entity is fully insured against any and all injury and
damages caused by or resulting from the performance of such Corrective Work; and
(ii) copies of the plans for such Corrective Work, approved in writing by the
appropriate governmental authorities. Any Corrective Work conducted by a
Borrower shall be diligently performed and shall comply with all Environmental
Laws and all other applicable laws to correct, contain, clean up, treat, remove,
resolve, dispose of or minimize the impact of all Regulated Substances or
Contamination. Any failure by Agent or any Lender to object to any actions taken
by a Borrower shall not be construed to be an approval by Agent or any Lender of
such actions, and this Agreement shall not be construed as creating any
obligation for Agent or any Lender to initiate any contests or to perform or
review the Indemnitor's or any other party's performance of, any Corrective
Work, or disburse any funds for any contests or the performance of any
Corrective Work;

           10.4.12. permit Agent, should it elect to do so, in addition to the
other remedies of Agent and Lenders in the Credit Documents, to perform any
Corrective Work and any other such actions as Agent, in its sole discretion,
shall deem necessary to repair and remedy any damage to the Real Estate caused
by Regulated Substances or Contamination or any such Corrective Work, if such
Corrective Work or actions are not being performed by Sellers pursuant to
Sellers' indemnification obligations to Remington. In such event, all funds
expended by Agent or Lenders, or all of them, in connection with the performance
of any Corrective Work, including all attorneys' fees, engineering fees,
consultant fees and similar charges, shall become a part of the Obligations and
shall be due and payable by the Borrowers on demand. Each disbursement made by
Agent or Lenders, or all of them, pursuant to this provision shall bear interest
at the lower of the Default Rate or the highest rate allowable under Applicable
Law from the date Borrower shall have received written notice that the funds
have been advanced by Agent or Lenders, or all of them, until paid in full; and

           10.4.13. if any Claim is asserted against Agent or any Lender with
respect to Regulated Substances, Environmental Laws or Contamination, agree that
Agent and Lenders may (i) select the engineers, other consultants and attorneys
for Agent's or any Lender's defense or guidance, (ii) determine the appropriate
legal strategy for such defense, and (iii) compromise or settle such claim, all
in Agent's and Lenders' sole discretion, and agree that Borrowers shall be
liable to Agent and Lenders in accordance with the terms hereof for liabilities,
costs and expenses incurred by Agent and Lenders in this regard.

<PAGE>

each Borrower expressly waives), forthwith due and payable and Borrowers shall

hereof; provided, however, that if either of Agent or Lenders shall continue to
make Revolver Loans, issue Letters of Credit, or otherwise extend credit to
Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement after an automatic termination of the
Revolver Commitments by reason of the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding
by or against Borrowers, such Revolver Loans and other credit shall nevertheless
be governed by this Agreement and enforceable against and recoverable from each
Obligor as if such Insolvency Proceeding had never been instituted.

     12.3. Other Remedies. Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default
and for so long as such Event of Default shall exist, Agent shall, at the
direction of either the Agent or the Required Lenders, exercise from time to
time all of the rights and remedies (without prejudice to the rights of either
of Agent or any Lender to enforce its claim against any or all Obligors) of a
secured party under the UCC or under other Applicable Law, and all other legal
and equitable rights to which Agent may be entitled under any of the Credit
Documents, all of which rights and remedies shall be cumulative and shall be in
addition to any other rights or remedies contained in this Agreement or any of
the other Credit Documents, and none of which shall be exclusive. Agent is
hereby irrevocably granted a license or other right to use, without charge, each
Borrower's Intellectual Property and each Borrower's computer hardware and

materials, labels, and packaging materials, and any Property of a similar
nature, in advertising for sale, marketing, selling and collecting, and in
completing the manufacturing of, Collateral, and each Borrower's rights under
all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Agent's benefit.

Documents and any rights now or hereafter available under Applicable Law, each
Lender Group Member (and each of their respective Affiliates) is hereby
authorized by each Borrower at any time that an Event of Default exists, without
notice to Borrowers or any other Person (any such notice being hereby expressly
waived), to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits, general
or special (including Debt evidenced by certificates of deposit whether matured
or unmatured (but not including trust accounts)) and any other Debt at any time
held or owing by such Lender Group Member (or any of their Affiliates) to or for
the credit or the account of Borrowers against and on account of the Obligations
of Borrowers arising under the Credit Documents to each Lender Group Member,
including all Revolver Loans and LC Obligations and all claims of any nature or
description arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, irrespective of
whether or not (i) any Lender Group Member shall have made any demand hereunder,
(ii) Agent, at the request or with the consent of the Required Lenders, shall
have declared the principal of and interest on the Revolver Loans and other
amounts due hereunder to be due and payable as permitted by this Agreement and
even though such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or (iii) the
Collateral for the Obligations is adequate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each
Lender Group Member agrees with each other that it shall not, without the
express consent of the Required Lenders, and that it shall (to the extent that
it is lawfully entitled to do so) upon the request of the Required Lenders,
exercise its setoff rights hereunder against any accounts of Borrower now or
hereafter maintained with any Lender Group Member (or any Affiliate of any of
them), but no Borrower shall have a claim or cause of action against any Lender
Group Member for any setoff made without the consent of the Required Lenders and
the

                                     - 98 -

<PAGE>

validity of any such setoff shall not be impaired by the absence of such
consent. If any party (or its Affiliate) exercises the right of setoff provided
for hereunder, such party shall be obligated to share any such setoff in the
manner and to the extent required by Section 13.5.

     12.5. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE; NO WAIVER.

          12.5.1. All covenants, conditions, provisions, warranties, guaranties,
indemnities, and other undertakings of Borrowers contained in this Agreement and
the other Credit Documents, or in any document referred to herein or contained
in any agreement supplementary hereto or in any schedule given to either of
Agent or any Lender or contained in any other agreement between either of Agent
or any Lender and Borrowers, heretofore, concurrently, or hereafter entered
into, shall be deemed cumulative to and not in derogation or substitution of any
of the terms, covenants, conditions, or agreements of Borrowers herein
contained. The rights and remedies of Agent and Lenders under this Agreement and
the other Credit Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights
or remedies that either of Agent or any Lender would otherwise have.

          12.5.2. The failure or delay of either of Agent or any Lender to
require strict performance by Borrowers of any provision of any of the Credit
Documents or to exercise or enforce any rights, Liens, powers, or remedies under
any of the Credit Documents or with respect to Collateral shall not operate as a
waiver of such performance, Liens, rights, powers and remedies, but all such
requirements, Liens, rights, powers, and remedies shall continue in full force
and effect until all Revolver Loans and all other Obligations owing or to become
owing from Borrowers to either of Agent or any Lender shall have been fully
satisfied. None of the undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants and
representations of each Borrower contained in this Agreement or any of the other
Credit Documents and no Event of Default under this Agreement or any other
Credit Documents shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by either of
Agent or any Lender, unless such suspension or waiver is by an instrument in
writing specifying such suspension or waiver and is signed by a duly authorized
representative of Agent or such Lender and directed to Borrowers.

          12.5.3. If either of Agent or any Lender shall accept performance by
Borrowers, in whole or in part, of any obligation that Borrowers are required by
any of the Credit Documents to perform only when a Default or Event of Default
exists, or if either of Agent or any Lender shall exercise any right or remedy
under any of the Credit Documents that may not be exercised other than when a
Default or Event of Default exists, such Agent's or Lender's acceptance of such
performance by Borrowers or such Agent's or Lender's exercise of any such right
or remedy shall not operate to waive any such Event of Default or to preclude
the exercise by such Agent or Lender of any other right or remedy, unless
otherwise expressly agreed in writing by such Agent or such Lender, as the case
may be.

SECTION 13.  PROVISIONS PERTAINING TO AGENTS AND LENDERS

     13.1. APPOINTMENT, AUTHORITY AND DUTIES OF AGENT.

          13.1.1. Each Lender Group Member hereby irrevocably appoints and
designates Wachovia as Agent to act as herein specified. Agent may, and each
Lender Group Member shall be deemed irrevocably to have authorized Agent to,
enter into all Credit Documents to which Agent is or is intended to be a party
and all amendments hereto and all Security Documents at any time executed by
Borrowers, for its benefit and the benefit of each other Lender Group Member
and, except as otherwise provided in this Section 13, to exercise such rights
and powers under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as are
specifically delegated to Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with
such other rights and powers as are reasonably incidental

                                     - 99 -

<PAGE>

thereto. Each Lender Group Member agrees that any action taken by Agent, the
Supermajority Lenders or the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions
of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, and the exercise by Agent, the
Required Lenders or the Supermajority Lenders of any 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 Lender Group Members. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent shall have the sole and
exclusive right and authority to (a) act as the disbursing and collecting agent
for Lenders with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection
with this Agreement and the other Credit Documents; (b) execute and deliver as
Agent each Credit Document and accept delivery of each such agreement delivered
by a Borrower or any other Obligor; (c) act as Agent for the Lender Group
Members for purposes of the perfection of all security interests and Liens
created by this Agreement or the Security Documents with respect to all items of
the Collateral and, subject to the direction of the Required Lenders, for all
other purposes stated therein, provided that Agent hereby appoints, authorizes
and directs each Lender to act as a collateral sub-agent for Agent and the other
Lenders for purposes of the perfection of all security interests and Liens with
respect to each Borrower's Deposit Accounts maintained with, and all cash held
by, such Lender; (d) subject to the direction of the Required Lenders, manage,
supervise or otherwise deal with the Collateral; and (e) except as may be
otherwise specifically restricted by the terms of this Agreement and subject to
the direction of the Required Lenders, exercise all remedies given to Agent with
respect to any of the Collateral under the Credit Documents relating thereto,
Applicable Law or otherwise. The duties of Agent shall be ministerial and
administrative in nature, and Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement
or any other Credit Document a fiduciary relationship with any Lender Group
Member (or any Lender's participants). Unless and until its authority to do so
is revoked in writing by Required Lenders, Agent alone shall be authorized to
determine whether any Accounts or Inventory constitute Eligible Accounts or
Eligible Inventory (basing such determination in each case upon the meanings
given to such terms in this Agreement), or whether to impose or release any
reserve, and to exercise its own credit judgment in connection therewith, which
determinations and judgments, if exercised in good faith, shall exonerate Agent
from any liability to any Lender Group Member or any other Person for any errors
in judgment.

          13.1.2. Agent (which term, as used in this sentence, shall include
reference to Agent's officers, directors, employees, attorneys, agents and
Affiliates and to the officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents of
Agent's Affiliates) shall not: (a) have any duties or responsibilities except
those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents or
(b) be required to take, initiate or conduct any litigation, foreclosure or
collection proceedings hereunder or under any of the other Credit Documents
except to the extent directed to do so by the Required Lenders during the
continuance of any Event of Default. Once a direction to take any action that
may be directed by the Required Lenders hereunder has been given by the Required
Lenders to Agent, and subject to any other directions which may be given from
time to time by the Required Lenders, decisions regarding the manner in which
any such action has to be implemented and conducted (with the exception of any
decision to settle, compromise or dismiss any legal proceeding, with or without
prejudice, which decision shall require the consent of the Required Lenders)
shall be made by Agent, with such assistance and advice of counsel as it may
deem appropriate. Notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately preceding
sentence, any and all decisions to settle, compromise or dismiss any legal
proceeding, with or without prejudice, which implements, accrues or results in
or has the affect of causing any release, change or occurrence, where such
release, change or occurrence would require the consent of the Supermajority
Lenders or the consent of all Lenders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement,
also shall require the consent of the Supermajority Lenders or the consent of
all Lenders, as applicable. The conferral upon Agent of any right hereunder
shall not imply a duty on Agent's part to exercise any such right unless
instructed in writing to do so by the Required Lenders in accordance with this
Agreement.

                                     - 100 -

<PAGE>

          13.1.3. Agent may perform any of its duties by or through its agents
and employees and may employ one or more Agent Professionals and shall not be
responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such Agent Professionals
selected by it with reasonable care. Each Borrower shall promptly (and in any
event, on demand) reimburse Agent for all reasonable expenses (including all
Extraordinary Expenses) incurred by Agent pursuant to any of the provisions
hereof or of any of the other Credit Documents or in the execution of any of
Agent's duties hereby or thereby created or in the exercise of any right or
power herein or therein imposed or conferred upon it or Lenders (excluding,
however, general overhead expenses), and each Lender agrees promptly to pay to
Agent, on demand, such Lender's Pro Rata share of any such reimbursement for
expenses (including Extraordinary Expenses) that is not timely made by Borrowers
to Agent.

          13.1.4. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges conferred upon
Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents may be exercised by Agent
without the necessity of the joinder of any other parties unless otherwise
required by Applicable Law. If Agent shall request instructions from the
Required Lenders with respect to any act or action (including the failure to
act) in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents,
Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless
and until Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders; and
Agent shall not incur liability to any Lender Group Member or any other Person
by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender Group
Member shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of
Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any of the Credit
Documents pursuant to or in accordance with the instructions of the Required
Lenders except for Agent's own gross negligence or willful misconduct in
connection with any action taken by it. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, Agent shall not be required to take any action that
is in its opinion contrary to Applicable Law or the terms of any of the Credit
Documents or that would in its reasonable opinion subject it or any of its
officers, employees or directors to personal liability; provided, however, that
if Agent shall fail or refuse to take action that is not contrary to Applicable
Law or to any of the terms of any of the Credit Documents even if such action in
Agent's opinion would subject it to potential liability, the Required Lenders
may remove Agent and appoint a successor Agent in the same manner and with the
same effects as is provided in this Agreement with respect to Agent's
resignation.

          13.1.5. Agent shall promptly, upon receipt thereof, forward to each
Lender (i) copies of any significant written notices, reports, certificates and
other information received by Agent from any Obligor (but only if and to the
extent such Obligor is not required by the terms of the Credit Documents to
supply such information directly to Lenders) and (ii) copies of the results of
any field audits by Agent with respect to each Borrower. Agent shall have no
liability to any Lender Group Member for any errors in or omissions from any
field audit or other examination of each Borrower or the Collateral, unless such
error or omission was the direct result of Agent's willful misconduct.

     13.2. AGREEMENTS REGARDING COLLATERAL AND EXAMINATION REPORTS

          13.2.1. Agent shall be authorized, at its option and in its
discretion, to release any Lien upon any Collateral (i) upon the termination of
the Revolver Commitments and payment or satisfaction of all of the Obligations
or (ii) constituting Property sold or disposed of in accordance with the terms
of Section 8.4.2 or Section 10.2.9 if each Borrower certifies to Agent that the
disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and Agent
may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry). Agent
shall, if directed to do so by the Required Lenders, release any Lien upon any
Collateral so long as the aggregate value (as determined by the Required Lenders
in their sole discretion) of all Collateral in respect of which Agent shall have
released its Lien during any period of 12 months (excluding Collateral from
which Agent's Lien is released in accordance with Section 8.4.2) does not exceed
$5,000,000. Except as expressly

                                     - 101 -

<PAGE>

authorized or required by this Agreement or Applicable Law, Agent shall not
execute any release or termination of any Lien upon any of the Collateral
without the prior written authorization of all Lenders. Agent shall have no
obligation whatsoever to any Lender Group Member to assure that any of the
Collateral exists or is owned by each Borrower or is cared for, protected or
insured or has been encumbered, or that Agent's Liens have been properly,
sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or entitled
to any particular priority or to exercise any duty of care with respect to any
of the Collateral.

          13.2.2. Agent shall furnish each Lender, promptly after the same
becomes available, a copy of each field audit or examination report (each a
"Report" and collectively, "Reports") prepared by or on behalf of Agent. Each
Lender agrees that neither Wachovia nor Agent makes any representation or
warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any Report and shall not be
liable for any information contained in or omitted from any such Report; agrees
that the Reports are not intended to be comprehensive audits or examinations,
that Wachovia or Agent or any other Person performing any audit or examination
will inspect only specific information regarding Borrowers or the Collateral and
will rely significantly upon each Borrower's books and records as well as upon
representations of each Borrower's officers and employees; agrees to keep all
Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use and not to distribute the
Reports to any Person (except to its Participants, accountants, attorneys and
other Persons with whom such Lender has a confidential relationship) or use any
Report in any other manner; and, without limiting the generality of any other
indemnification contained herein, agrees to hold Agent and any other Person
preparing a Report harmless from any action that the indemnifying Lender may
take or conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report in
connection with any Revolver Loans or other credit accommodations that the
indemnifying Lender has made or may make to Borrowers, or the indemnifying
Lender's participation in, or its purchase of, a loan or loans of Borrowers, and
to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend and hold Agent and each other such
Person preparing a Report harmless from and against all claims, actions,
proceedings, damages, costs, expenses and other amounts (including attorneys'
fees incurred by Agent and any such other Person preparing a Report as the
direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or any part
of any Report through the indemnifying Lender.

     13.3. Reliance By Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be
fully protected in so relying, upon any certification, notice or other
communication (including any thereof by telephone, telex, telegram, telecopier
message or cable) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been
signed, sent or made by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon
advice and statements of Agent Professionals selected by Agent. As to any
matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any of the other Credit
Documents, Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting or refraining
from acting hereunder and thereunder in accordance with the instructions of the
Required Lenders, and such instructions of the Required Lenders and any action
taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the Lender Group.

     13.4. Action Upon Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of
the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless it has received
written notice from a Lender or a Borrower specifying the occurrence and nature
of such Default or Event of Default. If Agent shall receive such a notice of a
Default or an Event of Default or shall otherwise acquire actual knowledge of
any Default or Event of Default, Agent shall promptly notify Lenders in writing
and Agent shall take such action and assert such rights under this Agreement and
the other Credit Documents, or shall refrain from taking such action and
asserting such rights, as the Required Lenders shall direct from time to time.
If any Lender shall receive a notice of a Default or Event of Default or shall
otherwise acquire actual knowledge of any Default or Event of Default, such
Lender shall promptly notify Agent and the other Lenders in writing. As provided
in Section 13.3 hereof, Agent shall not be subject to any liability by reason of
acting or refraining to act pursuant to any request of the Required Lenders
except for its own willful misconduct or gross negligence in connection with any
action

                                     - 102 -

<PAGE>

taken by it. Before directing Agent to take or refrain from taking any action or
asserting any rights or remedies under this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents on account of any Event of Default, the Required Lenders shall consult
with and seek the advice of (but without having to obtain the consent of) each
other Lender, and promptly after directing Agent to take or refrain from taking
any such action or asserting any such rights, the Required Lenders will so
advise each other Lender of the action taken or refrained from being taken and,
upon request of any Lender, will supply information concerning actions taken or
not taken. In no event shall the Required Lenders, without the prior written
consent of each Lender, direct Agent to accelerate and demand payment of the
Revolver Loans held by one Lender without accelerating and demanding payment of
all other Revolver Loans or to terminate the Revolver Commitments of one or more
Lenders without terminating the Revolver Commitments of all Lenders. Each Lender
agrees that, except as otherwise provided in any of the Credit Documents or as
authorized by the Required Lenders, it will not take any legal action or
institute any action or proceeding against any Obligor with respect to any of
the Obligations or Collateral or accelerate or otherwise enforce its portion of
the Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Lender
Group Member may exercise any right that it might otherwise have under
Applicable Law to credit bid at foreclosure sales, UCC sales or other similar
sales or dispositions of any of the Collateral except as authorized by the
Required Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Section 13.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement, each Lender and LC Issuer shall be
authorized to take such action to preserve or enforce its rights against any
Obligor where a deadline or limitation period is otherwise applicable and would,
absent the taken of specified action, bar the enforcement of Obligations held by
such Lender against such Obligor, including the filing of proofs of claim in any
Insolvency Proceeding.

     13.5. Ratable Sharing. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or reduction
(including any amounts received as adequate protection of a bank account deposit
treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code) of any Obligation of
Borrowers hereunder (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any
right of set-off or otherwise) in excess of its Pro Rata share of payments or
reductions on account of such Obligations obtained by all of the Lenders, such
Lender shall forthwith (i) notify the other Lenders and Agent of such receipt
and (ii) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the affected
Obligations as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the
excess payment or reduction, net of costs incurred in connection therewith, on a
Pro Rata basis, provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment or
reduction is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender or additional
costs are incurred, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price
restored to the extent of such recovery or such additional costs, but without
interest. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation
from another Lender pursuant to this Section 13.5 may, to the fullest extent
permitted by Applicable Law, exercise all of its rights of payment (including
the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such
Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such
participation.

     13.6. INDEMNIFICATION OF AGENT INDEMNITEES.

          13.6.1. Each Lender agrees to indemnify and defend the Agent
Indemnitees (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrowers under this Agreement, but
without limiting the indemnification obligation of Borrowers under this
Agreement), on a Pro Rata basis, and to hold each of the Agent Indemnitees
harmless from and against, any and all Indemnified Claims which may be imposed
on, incurred by or asserted against any of the Agent Indemnitees in any way
related to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents
or any other document contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including the costs and expenses
which Borrowers are obligated to pay under Section 15.2 hereof or amounts Agent
may be called upon to pay in connection with any Lockbox or Collateral Reserve
Account contemplated hereby or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or
thereof or of any such

                                     - 103 -

<PAGE>

other documents), provided that no Lender shall be liable to any Agent
Indemnitee for any of the foregoing to the extent that they result solely from
the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Agent Indemnitee.

          13.6.2. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of
this Section 13.6, if Agent should be sued by any receiver, trustee in
bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession or other Person on account of any alleged
preference or fraudulent transfer received or alleged to have been received from
a Borrower or any other Obligor as the result of any transaction under the
Credit Documents, then in such event any monies paid by Agent in settlement or
satisfaction of such suit, together with all Extraordinary Expenses incurred by
Agent in the defense of same, shall be promptly reimbursed to Agent by Lenders
to the extent of each Lender's Pro Rata share.

          13.6.3. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of
this Section 13.6, if at any time (whether prior to or after the Commitment
Termination Date) any action or proceeding shall be brought against any of the
Agent Indemnitees by an Obligor or by any other Person claiming by, through or
under an Obligor, to recover damages for any act taken or omitted by Agent under
any of the Credit Documents or in the performance of any rights, powers or
remedies of Agent against any Obligor, any Account Debtor, the Collateral or
with respect to any Revolver Loans, or to obtain any other relief of any kind on
account of any transaction involving any Agent Indemnitees under or in relation
to any of the Credit Documents, each Lender agrees to indemnify, defend and hold
the Agent Indemnitees harmless with respect thereto and to pay to the Agent
Indemnitees such Lender's Pro Rata share of such amount as any of the Agent
Indemnitees shall be required to pay by reason of a judgment, decree, or other
order entered in such action or proceeding or by reason of any compromise or
settlement agreed to by the Agent Indemnitees, including all interest and costs
assessed against any of the Agent Indemnitees in defending or compromising such
action, together with all expenses paid or incurred by the Agent Indemnitees to
any Agent Professionals or other Persons in connection therewith; provided,
however, that no Lender shall be liable to any Agent Indemnitee for any of the
foregoing to the extent that they arise solely from the willful misconduct or
gross negligence of such Agent Indemnitee. In Agent's discretion, Agent may also
reserve for or satisfy any such judgment, decree or order from proceeds of
Collateral prior to any distributions therefrom to or for the account of
Lenders.

     13.7. Limitation on Responsibilities of Agent. Agent shall in all cases be
fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder unless it shall have
received further assurances to its satisfaction from Lenders of their
indemnification obligations under Section 13.6 hereof against any and all
Indemnified Claims which may be incurred by Agent by reason of taking or
continuing to take any such action. Agent shall not be liable to any Lender
Group Member (or any Lender's participants) for any action taken or omitted to
be taken under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit
Documents except as a result of actual gross negligence or willful misconduct on
the part of Agent. Agent does not assume any responsibility for any failure or
delay in performance or breach by any Obligor or any Lender of its obligations
under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents. Agent does not make
to any Lender Group Member, and no Lender Group Member makes to Agent or the
other Lender Group Member, any express or implied warranty, representation or
guarantee with respect to the Revolver Loans, the Collateral, the Credit
Documents or any Obligor. Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors,
employees, attorneys or agents shall be responsible to any Lender Group Member,
and no Lender Group Member nor any of its agents, attorneys or employees shall
be responsible to Agent or the any other Lender Group Member, for: (i) any
recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in
any of the Credit Documents or in any certificate or other document furnished
pursuant to the terms hereof; (ii) the execution, validity, genuineness,
effectiveness or enforceability of any of the Credit Documents; (iii) the
validity, genuineness, enforceability, collectibility, value, sufficiency or
existence of any Collateral, or the perfection or priority of any Lien therein;
or (iv) the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations,
business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Obligor or any Account Debtor.
Neither

                                     - 104 -

<PAGE>

Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, attorneys or agents shall
have any obligation to any Lender Group Member to ascertain or inquire into the
existence of any Default or Event of Default, the observance or performance by
any Obligor of any of the duties or agreements of such Obligor under any of the
Loan Documents or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in any
of the Credit Documents. Agent may consult with and employ legal counsel,
accountants and other experts and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be
fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice
given by such experts.

     13.8. SUCCESSOR AGENT AND CO-AGENT.

          13.8.1. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent
as provided below, Agent may resign at any time by giving at least 30 days
written notice thereof to each Lender and each Borrower. Upon receipt of any
notice of such resignation, the Required Lenders, after prior consultation with
(but without having to obtain consent of) each Lender, shall have the right to
appoint a successor Agent which shall be (i) a Lender, (ii) a United States
based affiliate of a Lender, or (iii) a commercial bank that is organized under
the laws of the United States or of any State thereof and has a combined capital
surplus of at least $100,000,000 and, provided no Default or Event of Default
then exists, is reasonably acceptable to each Borrower (and for purposes hereof,
any successor to Wachovia shall be deemed acceptable to each Borrower). Upon the
acceptance by a successor Agent of an appointment to serve as Agent hereunder,
such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent without further act,
deed or conveyance, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties
and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder as
Agent, the provisions of this Section 13 (including the provisions of Section
13.6 hereof) shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any successor by merger or
acquisition of the stock or assets of Wachovia shall continue to be Agent
hereunder unless such successor shall resign in accordance with the provisions
hereof.

          13.8.2. It is the purpose of this Agreement that there shall be no
violation of any Applicable Law denying or restricting the right of financial
institutions to transact business as agent or otherwise in any jurisdiction. It
is recognized that, in case of litigation under any of the Credit Documents, or
in case Agent deems that by reason of present or future laws of any jurisdiction
agent might be prohibited from exercising any of the powers, rights or remedies
granted to agent or Lenders hereunder or under any of the Credit Documents or
from holding title to or a Lien upon any Collateral or from taking any other
action which may be necessary hereunder or under any of the Credit Documents,
agent may appoint an additional Person as a separate agent or co-agent which is
not so prohibited from taking any of such actions or exercising any of such
powers, rights or remedies. If Agent shall appoint an additional Person as a
separate agent or co-agent as provided above, each and every remedy, power,
right, claim, demand or cause of action intended by any of the Credit Documents
to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to Agent with respect thereto shall
be exercisable by and vested in such separate agent or co-agent, but only to the
extent necessary to enable such separate agent or co-agent to exercise such
powers, rights and remedies, and every covenant and obligation necessary to the
exercise thereof by such separate agent or co-agent shall run to and be
enforceable by either of them. Should any instrument from the Lender Group be
required by the separate agent or co-agent so appointed by Agent in order more
fully and certainly to vest in and confirm to him or it such rights, powers,
duties and obligations, any and all of such instruments shall, on request, be
executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Lender Group Members, whether or not
a Default or Event of Default then exists. In case any separate agent or
co-collateral agent, or a successor to either, shall die, become incapable of
acting, resign or be removed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers,
duties and obligations of such separate agent or co-agent, so

                                     - 105 -

<PAGE>

far as permitted by Applicable Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Agent
until the appointment of a new Agent or successor to such separate agent or
co-agent.

     13.9. CONSENTS, AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS; OUT-OF-FORMULA LOANS.

          13.9.1. No amendment or modification of any provision of this
Agreement shall be effective without the prior written agreement of the Required
Lenders and each Borrower, and no waiver of any Default or Event of Default
shall be effective without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders;
provided, however, that (i) without the prior written consent of Agent, no
amendment or waiver shall be effective with respect to any provision in any of
the Credit Documents (including this Section 13) to the extent such provision
relates to the rights, duties or immunities of Agent; (ii) without the prior
written consent of Wachovia, no amendment or waiver with respect to the
provisions of Sections 2.3 or 4.1.3 shall be effective; (iii) without the prior
written consent of all Lenders, no waiver of any Default or Event of Default
shall be effective if the Default or Event of Default relates to a Borrower's
failure to observe or perform any covenant that may not be amended without the
unanimous written consent of Lenders (and, where so provided hereinafter, the
written consent of Agent) as hereinafter set forth in this Section 13.9.1; and
(iv) written agreement of all Lenders (except a defaulting Lender as provided in
Section 4.2 of this Agreement) shall be required to effectuate any amendment,
modification or waiver that would (a) alter the provisions of Sections 3.2, 3.4,
3.9, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.9, 5.10, 6.1, 13, 15.2, 15.3, or 15.17, (b) amend the
definitions of "Pro Rata," "Required Lenders," "Supermajority Lenders,"
"Availability Reserve" or "Borrowing Base" (and the other defined terms used in
such definitions, but the percentage rates of advance may be adjusted as
expressly provided in or contemplated by Section 2.1.5 and the definition of
Applicable Inventory Percentage), if the effect would be to increase the amount
of Availability, or any provision of this Agreement obligating Agent to take
certain actions at the direction of the Required Lenders, or any provision of
any of the Credit Documents regarding the Pro Rata treatment or obligations of
Lenders, (c) increase or otherwise modify any of the Revolver Commitments (other
than to reduce proportionately each Lender's Revolver Commitment in connection
with any overall reduction in the amount of the Revolver Commitments), (d) alter
or amend (other than to increase) the rate of interest payable in respect of the
Revolver Loans (except as may be expressly authorized by the Credit Documents or
as may be necessary, in Agent's judgment, to comply with Applicable Law), (e)
waive or agree to defer collection of any fee or other charge provided for under
any of the Credit Documents or the unused line fee in Section 3.2.1 hereof, (f)
subordinate the priority of any Liens granted to Agent under any of the Loan
Documents with respect to any material part of the Collateral to Liens granted
to any other Person, except as currently provided in or contemplated by the
Credit Documents in connection with Borrowers' incurrence of Permitted Purchase
Money Debt and except for Liens granted by an Obligor to financial institutions
with respect to amounts on deposit with such financial institutions to cover
returned items, processing and analysis charges and other charges in the
Ordinary Course of Business that relate to deposit accounts with such financial
institutions, (g) alter the time or amount of repayment of any of the Loans
(except a moratorium or deferral of payment pursuant to a forbearance agreement
entered into by Agent and the Required Lenders with Borrowers at any time that
an Event of Default exists) or waive any Event of Default resulting from
nonpayment of the Loans on the due date thereof (or within any applicable period
of grace), or (h) release any Obligor from liability for any of the Obligations.
No Lender shall be authorized to amend or modify any Note held by it, unless
such amendment or modification is consented to in writing by all Lenders;
provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit an
amendment or modification to any provision of this Agreement that may be
effected pursuant to this Section 13.9.1 by agreement of Borrowers and the
Required Lenders even though such an amendment or modification results in an
amendment or modification of the Notes by virtue of the incorporation by
reference in each of the Notes of this Agreement. The making of any Revolver
Loans hereunder by any Lender during the existence of a Default or Event of
Default shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of such Default or Event of
Default. Any waiver or consent

                                     - 106 -

<PAGE>

granted by Lenders hereunder shall be effective only if in writing and then only
in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.

          13.9.2. Unless otherwise directed in writing by the Required Lenders,
Agent may require Lenders to honor requests by Borrowers for Out-of-Formula
Loans (in which event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in
Section 2.1.1 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Lenders shall continue to make
Revolver Loans up to their Pro Rata share of the Revolver Commitments) and to
forbear from requiring Borrowers to cure an Out-of-Formula Condition, (1) when
no Event of Default exists (or if an Event of Default exists, when the existence
of such Event of Default is not known by Agent), if and for so long as (i) such
Out-of-Formula Condition does not continue for a period of more than 10
consecutive Business Days, following which no Out-of-Formula Condition exists
for at least 10 consecutive Business Days before another Out-of-Formula
Condition exists, (ii) the amount of the Revolver Loans outstanding at any time
does not exceed the aggregate of the Revolver Commitments at such time, and
(iii) the Out-of-Formula Condition is not known by Agent at the time in question
to exceed $5,000,000; and (2) regardless of whether or not an Event of Default
exists, if Agent discovers the existence of an Out-of-Formula Condition not
previously known by it to exist, but Lenders shall be obligated to continue
making such Revolver Loans as directed by Agent only (A) if the amount of the
Out-of-Formula Condition is not increased by more than $2,000,000 above the
amount determined by Agent to exist on the date of discovery thereof and (B) for
a period not to exceed 5 Business Days. In no event shall Borrowers or any other
Obligor be deemed to be a beneficiary of this Section 13.9.2 or authorized to
enforce any of the provisions of this Section 13.9.2.

          13.9.3  In connection with any proposed amendment to any of the Credit
Documents or waiver of any terms thereof or any Default or Event of Default
thereunder, no Borrower shall solicit, request or negotiate for or with respect
to any such proposed amendment or waiver of any of the provisions of this
Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents unless each Lender shall be
informed thereof by such Borrower and shall be afforded an opportunity of
considering the same and shall be supplied by such Borrower with sufficient
information to enable such Lender to make an informed decision with respect
thereto. No Borrower will, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any
remuneration or other thing of value, whether by way supplemental or additional
interest, fee or otherwise, to any Lender (in it capacity as Lender hereunder)
as consideration for or as an inducement to the consent to or agreement by such
Lender with any waiver or amendment of any of the terms or conditions of this
Agreement or any of the Credit Documents that require unanimous consent of all
Lenders, unless such remuneration or thing of value is concurrently paid on the
same terms on a Pro Rata basis to all Lenders; provided, however, that if any
amendment or waiver of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement or any
of the other Credit Documents may be effected by the Required Lenders, then any
fee that Borrowers contract to pay in connection with any such amendment or
waiver may be paid only to those Lenders which agree in writing to such
amendment or waiver and not to any of the other Lenders which do not so agree.

          13.9.4  Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the
time of making such request or giving such a authority or consent, as a Lender,
shall be conclusive and binding upon any Assignee of such Lender.

     13.10. Due Diligence and Non-Reliance. Each Lender hereby acknowledges and
represents that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or the
other Lenders, and based upon such documents, information and analyses as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of each Obligor and its own
decision to enter into this Agreement and to fund the Revolver Loans to be made
by it hereunder and to purchase participations in the LC Obligations pursuant to
Section 2.3.2 hereof, and each Lender has made such inquiries concerning the
Credit Documents, the Collateral and each Obligor as such Lender feels necessary
and

                                     - 107 -

<PAGE>

appropriate, and has taken such care on its own behalf as would have been the
case had it entered into the other Credit Documents without the intervention or
participation of the other Lenders or Agent. Each Lender hereby further
acknowledges and represents that the other Lenders and Agent have not made any
representations or warranties to it concerning any Obligor, any of the
Collateral or the legality, validity, sufficiency or enforceability of any of
the Credit Documents. Each Lender also hereby acknowledges that it will,
independently and without reliance upon the other Lenders or Agent, and based
upon such financial statements, documents and information as it deems
appropriate at the time, continue to make and rely upon its own credit decisions
in making Revolver Loans and in taking or refraining to take any other action
under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents. Except for notices,
reports and other information expressly required to be furnished to Lenders by
Agent hereunder, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any
Lender with any notices, reports or certificates furnished to Agent by any
Obligor or any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial
condition, business or Properties of any Obligor (or any of its Affiliates)
which may come into possession of Agent or any of Agent's Affiliates.

     13.11. Representations and Warranties of Lenders. By its execution of this
Agreement, each Lender hereby represents and warrants to Borrowers and the other
Lenders that it has the power to enter into and perform its obligations under
this Agreement and the other Credit Documents; that it has taken all necessary
and appropriate action to authorize its execution and performance of this
Agreement and the other Credit Documents to which it is a party, each of which
will be binding upon it and the obligations imposed upon it herein or therein
will be enforceable against it in accordance with the respective terms of such
documents; and that no part of the funds to be used by it to fund Loans
hereunder from time to time constitutes (i) assets allocated to any separate
account maintained by such Lender in which any employee benefit plan (or its
related trust) has any interest or (ii) any other assets of any employee benefit
plan (as the terms "employee benefit plan" and "separate account" are defined in
ERISA).

     13.12. The Required and Supermajority Lenders. As to any provisions of this
Agreement or the other Credit Documents under which action may or is required to
be taken upon direction or approval of the Required Lenders or the Supermajority
Lenders, the direction or approval of the Required Lenders or the Supermajority
Lenders, as applicable, shall be binding upon each Lender to the same extent and
with the same effect as if each Lender had joined therein. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Borrower shall be
deemed to be a beneficiary of, or be entitled to enforce, sue upon or assert as
a defense to any of the Obligations, any provisions of this Agreement that
requires Agent or any Lender to act, or conditions their authority to act, upon
the direction or consent of the Required Lenders or the Supermajority Lenders;
and any action taken by Agent or any Lender that requires the consent or
direction of the Required Lenders or the Supermajority Lenders as a condition to
taking such action shall, insofar as a Borrower is concerned, be presumed to
have been taken with the requisite consent or direction of the Required Lenders
or the Supermajority Lenders, as applicable.

     13.13. Several Obligations.The obligations and commitments of each Lender
under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents are several and neither
Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible for the performance by the other
Lenders of its obligations or commitments hereunder or thereunder.
Notwithstanding any liability of Lenders stated to be joint and several to third
Persons under any of the Credit Documents, such liability shall be shared, as
among Lenders, Pro Rata according to the respective Revolver Commitments of
Lenders.

     13.14. Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its obligation to
lend under this Agreement, the Revolver Loans made by it and each Note issued to
it, Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under the other
Credit Documents as any other Lender or holder of a Note and may

                                     - 108 -

<PAGE>

exercise the same as though it were not performing the duties specified herein;
and the terms "Lenders," "Required Lenders," or any similar term shall, unless
the context clearly otherwise indicates, include Agent in its capacity as a
Lender. Agent and its Affiliates may each accept deposits from, maintain
deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under
indentures of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind
of business with each Borrower or any other Obligor, or any affiliate of a
Borrower or any other Obligor, as if it were any other bank and without any duty
to account therefor (or for any fees or other consideration received in
connection therewith) to the other Lenders. Wachovia or its Affiliates may
receive information regarding each Borrower or any of such Borrower's Affiliates
and account debtors (including information that may be subject to
confidentiality obligations in favor of such Borrower or any of its Affiliates)
and neither Agent nor Wachovia shall be under any obligation to provide such
information to any other Lender Group Member to the extent acquired by Wachovia
in its individual capacity and not as Agent hereunder.

     13.15. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Section 13 is not intended to
confer any rights or benefits upon a Borrower or any other Person except Lenders
and Agent, and no Person (including a Borrower) other than Lenders and Agent
shall have any right to enforce any of the provisions of this Section 13 except
as expressly provided in Section 13.17 hereof. As between Borrowers and Agent,
any action that Agent may take or purport to take on behalf of Lenders under any
of the Credit Documents shall be conclusively presumed to have been authorized
and approved by Lenders as herein provided.

     13.16. Notice of Transfer. Agent may deem and treat a Lender party to this
Agreement as the owner of such Lender's portion of the Revolver Loans for all
purposes, unless and until a written notice of the assignment or transfer
thereof executed by such Lender has been received by Agent.

     13.17. Replacement of Certain Lenders. If a Lender ("Affected Lender")
shall have (i) failed to fund its Pro Rata share of any Revolver Loan requested
(or deemed requested) by Borrowers which such Lender is obligated to fund under
the terms of this Agreement and which such failure has not been cured, (ii)
requested compensation from Borrowers under Section 3.7 to recover increased
costs incurred by such Lender (or its parent or holding company) which are not
being incurred generally by the other Lenders (or their respective parents or
holding companies), or (iii) delivered a notice pursuant to Section 3.6 hereof
claiming that such Lender is unable to extend Euro-Dollar Loans to Borrowers for
reasons not generally applicable to the other Lenders, then, in any such case
and in addition to any other rights and remedies that Agent, any other Lender or
Borrowers may have against such Affected Lender, Borrowers or Agent may make
written demand on such Affected Lender (with a copy to Agent in the case of a
demand by Borrowers and a copy to Borrowers in the case of a demand by Agent)
for the Affected Lender to assign, and such Affected Lender shall assign
pursuant to one or more duly executed Assignment and Acceptances within 5
Business Days after the date of such demand, to one or more Lenders willing to
accept such assignment or assignments, or to one or more Eligible Assignees
designated by Agent, all of such Affected Lender's rights and obligations under
this Agreement (including its Revolver Commitments and all Obligations owing to
it) in accordance with Section 14 hereof; provided, however, that Agent shall
have no duty to locate an Eligible Assignee for the purpose of accepting such
assignment. Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to execute one or more
Assignment and Acceptances as attorney-in-fact for any Affected Lender which
fails or refuses to execute and deliver the same within 5 Business Days after
the date of such demand. The Affected Lender shall be entitled to receive, in
cash and concurrently with execution and delivery of each such Assignment and
Acceptance, all amounts owed to the Affected Lender hereunder or under any other
Credit Document, including the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the
Revolver Loans owed to such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon
through the date of such assignment. Upon the replacement of any Affected Lender
pursuant to this Section 13.17,

                                     - 109 -

<PAGE>

such Affected Lender shall cease to have any participation in, entitlement to,
or other right to share in the Liens of Agent in any Collateral and such
Affected Lender shall have no further liability to Agent, any Lender or any
other Person under any of the Credit Documents (except as provided in Section
13.6 hereof as to events or transactions which occur prior to the replacement of
such Affected Lender), including any commitment to make Revolver Loans or
purchase participations in LC Obligations.

     13.18. REMITTANCE OF PAYMENTS AND COLLECTIONS.

          13.18.1. All payments by any Lender to Agent shall be made not later
than the time set forth elsewhere in this Agreement on the Business Day such
payment is due; provided, however, that if such payment is due on demand by
Agent and such demand is made on the paying Lender after 11:00 a.m. on such
Business Day, then payment shall be made by 11:00 a.m. on the next Business Day.
Payment by Agent to any Lender shall be made by wire transfer, promptly
following Agent's receipt of funds for the account of such Lender and in the
type of funds received by Agent; provided, however, that if Agent receives such
funds at or prior to 12:00 noon, Agent shall pay such funds to such Lender by
2:00 p.m. on such Business Day, but if Agent receives such funds after 12:00
noon, Agent shall pay such funds to such Lender by 2:00 p.m. on the next
Business Day.

          13.18.2. With respect to the payment of any funds from Agent to a
Lender or from a Lender to Agent, the party failing to make full payment when
due pursuant to the terms hereof shall, on demand by the other party, pay such
amount together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate. In no event
shall each Borrower be entitled to receive any credit for any interest paid by
Agent to any Lender, or by any Lender to Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate as
provided herein.

          13.18.3. If Agent pays any amount to a Lender in the belief or
expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by Agent from an
Obligor and such related payment is not received by Agent, then Agent shall be
entitled to recover such amount from each Lender that receives such amount. If
Agent determines at any time that any amount received by it under this Agreement
or any of the other Credit Documents must be returned to an Obligor or paid to
any other Person pursuant to any Applicable Law, court order or otherwise, then,
notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any of the
other Credit Documents, Agent shall not be required to distribute such amount to
any Lender.

     13.19. Syndication/Documentation Agent and Arranger. None of the
Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent or the Arranger in their capacities
as such shall have any duties or responsibilities or incur any liability under
this Agreement or any of the Credit Documents.

SECTION 14.  BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT;  ASSIGNMENTS  AND  PARTICIPATIONS

     14.1. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of each Borrower, Agent and Lenders and their respective
successors and assigns, except that (i) no Borrower shall have the right to
assign its rights or delegate performance of any of its obligations under any of
the Credit Documents and (ii) any assignment by any Lender must be made in
compliance with Section 14.3 hereof. Agent may treat the payee of any Note as
the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until such payee complies
with Section 14.3 in the case of an assignment thereof or, in the case of any
other transfer, a written notice of the transfer is filed with Agent. Any
assignee or transferee of a Note agrees by acceptance thereof to be bound by all
the terms and provisions of the Credit Documents. 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 a Note,

                                     - 110 -

<PAGE>

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.

     14.2. PARTICIPATIONS.

          14.2.1. Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may, in the
Ordinary Course of Business of such Lender and in accordance with Applicable
Law, but subject to Agent's written consent and (if no Event of Default exists),
the prior consent of Borrowers (which consent of Borrowers shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) at any time sell to one or more banks or other
financial institutions (each a "Participant") a participating interest in any of
the Obligations owing to such Lender, any Revolver Commitment of such Lender or
any other interest of such Lender under any of the Credit Documents. In the
event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant,
such Lender's obligations under the Credit Documents shall remain unchanged,
such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the holder of any Note
for all purposes under the Credit Documents, all amounts payable by Borrowers
under this Agreement and any of the Notes shall be determined as if such Lender
had not sold such participating interests, and Borrowers and Agent shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender's rights and obligations under the Credit Documents. If a Lender sells a
participation to a Person other than an Affiliate of such Lender, then such
Lender shall give prompt written notice thereof to each Borrower and the other
Lenders.

          14.2.2. Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to
approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or
waiver of any provision of the Credit Documents other than an amendment,
modification or waiver with respect to any Revolver Loans or Revolver Commitment
in which such Participant has an interest which forgives principal, interest or
fees or reduces the stated interest rate or the stated rates at which fees are
payable with respect to any such Revolver Loan or Revolver Commitment, postpones
the Commitment Termination Date, or any date fixed for any regularly scheduled
payment of interest or fees on such Revolver Loan or Revolver Commitment, or
releases from liability Borrowers or any Guarantor or releases substantially all
of the Collateral.

          14.2.3. Benefit of Set-Off. Each Borrower agrees that each Participant
shall be deemed to have the right of set-off provided in Section 12.4 hereof in
respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under the Credit
Documents to the same extent and subject to the same requirements under this
Agreement (including Section 13.5) as if the amount of its participating
interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under the Credit Documents,
provided that each Lender shall retain the right of set-off provided in Section
12.4 hereof with respect to the amount of participating interests sold to each
Participant. Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and each Participant
by exercising the right of set-off provided in Section 12.4 agrees to share with
each Lender, any amount received pursuant to the exercise of its right of
set-off, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 13.5 hereof as if
each Participant were a Lender.

     14.3. ASSIGNMENTS.

          14.3.1. Permitted Assignments. Subject to its compliance with Section
14.3.2, a Lender may, in accordance with Applicable Law, at any time assign to
any Eligible Assignee all or any part of its rights and obligations under the
Credit Documents, so long as (i) each assignment is of a constant, and not a
varying, ratable percentage of all of the transferor Lender's rights and
obligations under the Credit Documents with respect to the Revolver Loans and
the LC Obligations and, in the case of a partial assignment, is in a minimum
principal amount of $2,500,000 or integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of
that amount; (ii) except in the case of an assignment in whole of a Lender's
rights and obligations under the Credit Documents or an

                                     - 111 -

<PAGE>

assignment by one original signatory to this Agreement to another such
signatory, immediately after giving effect to any assignment, the aggregate
amount of the Revolver Commitments retained by the transferor Lender shall in no
event be less than $10,000,000; (iii) the parties to each such assignment shall
execute and deliver to Agent, for its acceptance and recording, an Assignment
and Acceptance. Nothing contained herein shall limit in any way the right of a
Lender to assign any or all or any portion of the Obligations owing to it to any
Federal Reserve Bank or the United States Treasury as collateral security
pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors and any Operating Circular
issued by such Federal Reserve Bank, provided that any payment made by Borrowers
in respect of such assigned Revolver Loans in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement shall satisfy each Borrower's obligations hereunder in respect of such
assigned Revolver Loans to the extent of such payment, and no such assignment
shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.

          14.3.2. Effect; Effective Date. Upon (i) delivery to Agent of a notice
of assignment substantially in the form attached as Exhibit H hereto at least 2
Business Days prior to the proposed assignment, together with any consents
required by Section 14.3.1, and (ii) payment of a $4,000 fee to the Agent for
processing any assignment to an Eligible Assignee that is not an Affiliate of
the transferor Lender, such assignment shall become effective on the effective
date specified in such notice of assignment (provided that such fee shall not be
payable with respect to any assignment by a transferor Lender party hereto on
the date of this Agreement if, after giving effect to such assignment, the
amount of the Revolver Commitment retained by such transferor Lender is at least
$25,000,000). On and after the effective date of such assignment, such Eligible
Assignee shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and any
other Credit Document executed by the Lenders and shall have all the rights and
obligations of the Lender under the Credit Documents to the same extent as if it
were an original party thereto, and no further consent or action by Borrowers,
Lenders or Agent shall be required to release the transferor Lender with respect
to the Revolver Commitment (or portion thereof) of such Lender and Obligations
assigned to such Eligible Assignee. Upon the consummation of any assignment to
an Eligible Assignee pursuant to this Section 14.3.2, the transferor Lender,
Agent and Borrowers shall make appropriate arrangements so that replacement
Notes are issued to such transferor Lender and new Notes or, as appropriate,
replacement Notes, are issued to such Eligible Assignee, in each case in
principal amounts reflecting their respective Revolver Commitments, as adjusted
pursuant to such assignment.

          14.3.3. Dissemination of Information. Each Borrower authorizes each
Lender and Agent to disclose to any Participant, any Eligible Assignee or any
other Person acquiring an interest in the Credit Documents by operation of law
(each a "Transferee"), and any prospective Transferee, any and all information
in Agent's or such Lender's possession concerning such Borrower, the
Subsidiaries of such Borrower or the Collateral, subject to confidentiality
undertakings on the part of such Transferee identical in substance to Section
15.15.

     14.4. Tax Treatment. If any interest in any Credit Document is transferred
to any Transferee that is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other
than the United States or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause
such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply
with the provisions of Sections 5.10 and 5.11 hereof. No Transferee shall be
entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 5.10 than the transferor
Lender would have been entitled to receive as of such date.

SECTION 15. MISCELLANEOUS

     15.1. Power of Attorney. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates,
makes, constitutes and appoints Agent (and all Persons designated by Agent,
including Agent) as such Borrower's true and lawful

                                     - 112 -

<PAGE>

attorney (and agent-in-fact) and Agent, or Agent's designee, may, without notice
to such Borrower and in either such Borrower's or Agent's name, but at the cost
and expense of such Borrower:

          15.1.1. At such time or times as Agent or said designee, in its sole
discretion, may determine, endorse such Borrower's name on any Payment Item or
proceeds of Collateral which come into the possession of Agent or under Agent's
control.

          15.1.2. At such time or times upon or after the occurrence of an Event
of Default as Agent or its designee in its sole discretion may determine: (i)
demand payment of the Accounts from the Account Debtors, enforce payment of the
Accounts by legal proceedings or otherwise, and generally exercise all of such
Borrower's rights and remedies with respect to the collection of the Accounts;
(ii) settle, adjust, compromise, discharge or release any of the Accounts or
other Collateral or any legal proceedings brought to collect any of the Accounts
or other Collateral; (iii) sell or assign any of the Accounts and other
Collateral upon such terms, for such amounts and at such time or times as Agent
deems advisable; (iv) take control, in any manner, of any item of payment or
proceeds relating to Collateral; (v) prepare, file and sign such Borrower's name
to a proof of claim in bankruptcy or similar document against any Account Debtor
or to any notice of lien, assignment or satisfaction of Lien or similar document
in connection with any of Collateral; (vi) receive, open and dispose of all mail
addressed to such Borrower and to notify postal authorities to change the
address for delivery thereof to such address as Agent may designate; (vii)
endorse the name of such Borrower upon any of the items of payment or proceeds
relating to Collateral and deposit the same to the account of Agent on account
of the Obligations; (viii) endorse the name of such Borrower upon any chattel
paper, document, instrument, invoice, freight bill, bill of lading or similar
document or agreement relating to any Accounts or Inventory of any Obligor and
any other Collateral; (ix) use such Borrower's stationery and sign the name of
such Borrower to verifications of the Accounts and notices thereof to Account
Debtors; (x) use the information recorded on or contained in any data processing
equipment and computer hardware and software relating to the Accounts,
Inventory, Equipment and any other Collateral; (xi) make and adjust claims under
policies of insurance; and (xii) do all other acts and things necessary, in
Agent's determination, to fulfill such Borrower's obligations under this
Agreement.

     15.2. General Indemnity. Each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and
defend the Indemnitees and to hold the Indemnitees harmless from and against any
Indemnified Claim ever suffered or incurred by any of the Indemnitees arising
out of or related to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, the
performance by Agent or Lenders of their respective duties or the exercise of
any of their respective rights or remedies hereunder, or the result of such
Borrower's failure to observe, perform or discharge any of its duties hereunder.
Each Borrower shall also indemnify and defend the Indemnitees against and save
the Indemnitees harmless from all Indemnified Claims of any Person arising out
of, related to or with respect to any of the transactions entered into pursuant
to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or Agent's Lien upon any
Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this indemnity
shall extend to any Environmental Damages and other Indemnified Claims asserted
against or incurred (whether before or after the release, satisfaction or
extinguishment of any Mortgage or Mortgages) by any of the Indemnitees
(including Agent or any Lender as mortgagee-in-possession or
successor-in-interest to any Obligor as owner of any of the Real Estate by
virtue of a foreclosure or acceptance of deed-in-lieu of foreclosure) by any
Person under any Environmental Laws or similar laws by reason of each Borrower's
or any other Person's violation or non-compliance, or alleged violation or
non-compliance, with any Environmental Laws, or any unauthorized release of any
Regulated Substances or any Contamination on, in, under, affecting, migrating or
threatening to migrate to or from all or any portions of the Real Estate.
Additionally, if any Taxes other than (i) Non-Excluded Taxes, the payment of
which shall be controlled by Section 5.10 and (ii) the Taxes described in
clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the first sentence of Section 5.10.1 (but
excluding any stamp, documentary,

                                     - 113 -

recording or similar taxes) shall now or at any time or times hereafter be
payable by either of Agent, any Lender or any Obligor on account of the
execution or delivery of this Agreement, or the execution, delivery, issuance or
recording of any of the other Credit Documents or any amendment thereto, or the
creation or repayment of any of the Obligations hereunder, by reason of any
Applicable Law now or hereafter in effect, each Borrower will pay (or will
promptly reimburse Agent and Lenders for the payment of) all such Taxes,
including any interest and penalties thereon, and will indemnify and hold
Indemnitees harmless from and against all liability in connection therewith. The
foregoing indemnities are in addition to and not in lieu of any other
indemnities contained in any of the other Credit Documents, but shall not apply
to Indemnified Claims incurred by any of the Indemnitees as a direct and
proximate result of their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

     15.3. Survival of All Indemnities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, the obligation of
Borrowers and each Lender with respect to each indemnity given by it in this
Agreement, whether given by each Borrower to Agent Indemnitees, or Lender
Indemnitees or Wachovia Indemnitees or by any Lender to any Agent Indemnitees or
Wachovia Indemnitees, shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and
the termination of any of the Revolver Commitments.

     15.4. Modification of Agreement. This Agreement may not be modified,
altered or amended, except by an agreement in writing signed by each Borrower,
Agent and Lenders; provided, however, that no consent, written or otherwise, of
Borrowers shall be necessary or required in connection with any amendment of any
of the provisions of Section 13 (other than Section 13.7) or any other provision
of this Agreement that affects only the rights, duties and responsibilities of
Lenders and Agent as among themselves so long as no such amendment imposes any
additional obligations on Borrowers.

     15.5. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement
shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
Applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or
invalid under Applicable Law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the
extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of
such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

     15.6. English Language. The parties hereto acknowledge that they have
requested and are satisfied that the Credit Documents as well as all notices,
actions and legal proceedings, be drawn up in the English language.

     15.7. Cumulative Effect; Conflict of Terms. To the fullest extent permitted
by Applicable Law, the provisions of the Other Agreements and the Security
Documents are hereby made cumulative with the provisions of this Agreement.
Except as otherwise provided in any of the other Credit Documents by specific
reference to the applicable provision of this Agreement, if any provision
contained in this Agreement is in direct conflict with, or inconsistent with,
any provision in any of the other Credit Documents, the provision contained in
this Agreement shall govern and control.

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

                                     - 114 -

     15.9. Notice. All notices, requests and demands to or upon a party hereto
shall be in writing and shall be sent by certified or registered mail, return
receipt requested, personal delivery against receipt or by telecopier or other
facsimile transmission and shall be deemed to have been validly served, given or
delivered when delivered against receipt or, in the case of facsimile
transmission, when received (if on a Domestic Business Day and, if not received
on a Domestic Business Day, then on the next Domestic Business Day after
receipt) at the office where the noticed party's telecopier is located, in each
case addressed to the noticed party at the address shown for such party on the
signature page hereof or, in the case of a Person who becomes a Lender after the
date hereof, at the address shown on the Assignment and Acceptance by which such
Person became a Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice to or upon
Agent pursuant to Sections 2.1.6, 2.3, 3.1, 4.1 or 6.2.2 shall be effective
until actually received by the Asset Based Lending Group of Agent in Charlotte,
North Carolina. Any written notice, request or demand that is not sent in
conformity with the provisions hereof shall nevertheless be effective on the
date that such notice, request or demand is actually received by the individual
to whose attention at the noticed party such notice, request or demand is
required to be sent. In no event, however, shall any notice given to Agent be
deemed to constitute notice to Agent, or vice versa.

     15.10. Performance of Borrowers' Obligations. If an Event of Default exists
by virtue of the failure of a Borrower to discharge any covenant, duty or
obligation hereunder or under any of the other Credit Documents, Agent may, in
its sole discretion at any time or from time to time, for such Borrower's
account and at such Borrower's expense, pay any amount or do any act required of
such Borrower hereunder or under any of the other Credit Documents or otherwise
lawfully requested by Agent to (i) enforce any of the Credit Documents or
collect any of the Obligations, (ii) preserve, protect, insure or maintain or
realize upon any of the Collateral, or (iii) preserve, defend, protect or
maintain the validity or priority of Agent's Liens upon any of the Collateral,
including the payment of any judgment against such Borrower, any insurance
premium, any warehouse charge, any finishing or processing charge, any landlord
claim, any other Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral (whether or
not a Permitted Lien). All payments that Agent may make under this Section and
all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including Extraordinary Expenses) that
Agent pays or incurs in connection with any action taken by it hereunder shall
be reimbursed to Agent by Borrowers on demand, with interest from the date such
payment is made or such costs or expenses are incurred to the date of payment
thereof at the Default Rates applicable for Revolver Loans that are Base Rate
Loans. Any payment made or other action taken by Agent under this Section shall
be without prejudice to any right to assert, and without waiver of, any Event of
Default hereunder and without prejudice to any right of Agent to proceed
thereafter as provided herein or in any of the other Credit Documents.

     15.11. Agent's, Required Lenders' or Supermajority Lenders' Consent.
Whenever any Lender Group Member's consent is required to be obtained under this
Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents as a condition to any action,
inaction, condition or event, such Lender Group Member shall be authorized to
give or withhold its consent in its sole and absolute discretion and to
condition its consent upon the giving of additional collateral security for the
Obligations, the payment of money or any other matter.

     15.12. Credit Inquiries. Each Borrower hereby authorizes and permits Agent
and Lenders (but Agent and Lenders shall have no obligation) to respond to usual
and customary credit inquiries from third parties concerning such Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries.

     15.13. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement, the Other
Agreements and the Security Documents.

                                     - 115 -

<PAGE>

     15.14. Entire Agreement; Exhibits and Schedules. This Agreement and the
other Credit Documents, together with all other instruments, agreements and
certificates executed by the parties in connection therewith or with reference
thereto, embody the entire understanding and agreement between the parties
hereto and thereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and
supersede all prior agreements, understandings and inducements, whether express
or implied, oral or written. Each of the Exhibits and each of the Schedules
attached hereto are incorporated into this Agreement and by this reference made
a part hereof.

     15.15. Interpretation. No provision of this Agreement or any of the other
Credit Documents shall be construed against or interpreted to the disadvantage
of any party hereto by any court or other governmental or judicial authority by
reason of such party having or being deemed to have structured or dictated such
provision.

     15.16. Confidentiality. Each Lender Group Member agrees to exercise
reasonable efforts (and, in any event, with at least the same degree of care as
it ordinarily exercises with respect to confidential information of its other
customers) to keep any confidential information delivered or made available by a
Borrower to it, including information obtained by it as a result of a visit or
investigation pursuant to Section 10.1.1 hereof, confidential from any Person
other than individuals employed or retained by it who are or are expected to
become engaged in evaluating, approving, structuring, administering or otherwise
giving professional advice with respect to any of the Revolver Loans or
Collateral; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent a Lender Group
Member from disclosing such confidential information (i) to any party to this
Agreement from time to time or any Participant so long as such Participant has
agreed in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Section; (ii) pursuant
the order of any court or administrative agency, (iii) upon the request or
demand of any regulatory agency or authority having jurisdiction over either of
Agent or such Lender, (iv) which has been publicly disclosed other than by an
act or omission of Agent or any Lender except as permitted herein, (v) to the
extent reasonably required in connection with any litigation (with respect to
any of the Credit Documents or any of the transactions contemplated thereby) to
which any Lender Group Member or its Affiliates may be a party, (vi) to the
extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedies
hereunder, (vii) to any Agent Professionals or any Lender's legal counsel and
independent auditors, (viii) to any actual or proposed Participant, Assignee or
other Transferee of all or part of a Lender's rights hereunder so long as such
Participant or Transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the provisions of
this Section, (ix) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any
similar organization or to any nationally recognized rating agency that requires
access to information about a Lender's portfolio in connection with ratings
issued with respect to such Lender, or (x) with the consent of each Borrower.

     15.17. Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of each Lender
hereunder are several, and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or
Revolver Commitment of any other Lender. Nothing contained in this Agreement and
no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the
Lenders to be a partnership, association, joint venture or any other kind of
entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a
separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled, to the extent
not otherwise restricted hereunder, to protect and enforce its rights arising
out of this Agreement and any of the other Credit Documents and it shall not be
necessary for either of Agent or any other Lender to be joined as an additional
party in any proceeding for such purpose.

                                     - 116 -

<PAGE>

     15.18. Advertising and Publicity. With the prior consent of each Borrower
(which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), Agent, on behalf of
Lenders, may issue and disseminate to the public (by advertisement or otherwise)
information describing the credit accommodations made available by Lenders
pursuant to this Agreement, including the name and address of each Borrower, the
amount and security for the credit accommodations and the general nature of each
Borrower's business, provided that detail regarding terms (such as interest
rate) may be provided only to industry publications, such as the "LPC Gold
Sheets."

     15.19. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York (without giving effect to the
conflict of laws principles thereof, other than Section 5-1401 of the New York
General Obligations Law); provided, however, that if any of Collateral shall be
located in any jurisdiction other than New York, the laws of such jurisdiction
shall govern the method, manner and procedure for foreclosure of Agent's Lien
upon Collateral and the enforcement of Agent's other remedies of Collateral to
the extent that the laws of such jurisdiction are different from or inconsistent
with the laws of the State of New York. Notwithstanding the foregoing provision
for the notice and sale of Collateral under the law of the situs, it is the
parties' intention that New York law control the obligations of each Borrower
under the Credit Documents and the enforcement of the same such that, for
example, each Borrower agrees and acknowledges that pursuant to New York law
they shall be liable for a deficiency judgment notwithstanding the sale of real
Property collateral under a power of sale and further that Lenders or Agent may,
at their election, seek a money judgment under the Credit Documents without
first exhausting all Collateral securing the Obligations thereunder.

     15.20. SPECIFIC WAIVERS.

          15.20.1. Each Borrower waives (i) the right to trial by jury (which
each Agent and each Lender hereby also waives) in any action, suit, proceeding
or counterclaim of any kind arising out of or related to any of the Credit
Documents, the Obligations or the Collateral; (ii) presentment, demand and
protest and notice of presentment, protest, default, non payment, maturity,
release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any or all commercial
paper, accounts, contract rights, documents, instruments, chattel paper and
guaranties at any time held by Agent on which such Borrower may in any way be
liable and hereby ratifies and confirms whatever Agent may do in this regard;
(iii) notice prior to taking possession or control of the Collateral or any bond
or security which might be required by any court prior to allowing Agent to
exercise any of such Agent's remedies; (iv) the benefit of all valuation,
appraisement and exemption laws; and (v) notice of acceptance hereof. Each
Borrower acknowledges that the foregoing waivers are a material inducement to
each Agent's and each Lender's entering into this Agreement and that Agent and
Lenders are relying upon the foregoing waivers in its future dealings with such
Borrower. Each Borrower warrants and represents that it has reviewed the
foregoing waivers with its legal counsel and has knowingly and voluntarily
waived its jury trial rights following consultation with legal counsel. In the
event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial
by the Court.

          15.20.2. The parties to this Agreement expressly waive and agree to
forego any right under Applicable Law to recover punitive, exemplary, loss
profits, consequential or similar damages in any arbitration, action, suit or
other proceeding involving a controversy or claim arising out of or relating to
any of the Credit Documents or any of the transactions contemplated thereby.

<PAGE>

          15.20.3. Each Borrower waives any and all rights and defenses such
Borrower may have because any of the Obligations are secured by real Property.
This means, among other things: (i) Agent and Lenders may collect from such
Borrower without first resorting to any Collateral, and (ii) if the Agent
forecloses on any Collateral constituting real Property, (a) the amount of the
Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which such Collateral is sold
at the foreclosure sale, even if such Collateral is worth more than the sale
price, and (b) Agent and Lenders may collect from such Borrower even if the
Agent, by foreclosing on such real Property, have extinguished any right each
Borrower may have to collect from the other such Borrower.

                              FORM OF REVOLVER NOTE          ____________, ____
                                                            [New York, New York]
U.S. $____________.___

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, REMINGTON ARMS COMPANY, INC., a
Delaware corporation, and RA FACTORS, INC., a Delaware corporation
(individually, a "Borrower" and collectively, the "Borrowers"), hereby
unconditionally, and jointly and severally, promise to pay to the order of
_________________________ (herein, together with any subsequent holder hereof,
called the "Holder") the principal sum of $_______________ or such lesser sum as
may constitute Holder's Pro Rata share of the outstanding principal amount of
all Revolver Loans pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement (as defined
below) on the date on which such outstanding principal amounts become due and
payable pursuant to Section 5.2 of the Credit Agreement, in strict accordance
with the terms thereof. Borrowers likewise unconditionally, and jointly and
severally, promise to pay to Holder interest from and after the date hereof on
Lender's Pro Rata share of the outstanding principal amount of Revolver Loans at
such interest rates, payable at such times, and computed in such manner as are
specified in Section 3.1 of the Credit Agreement, in strict accordance with the
terms thereof.

     This Revolver Note ("Note") is issued pursuant to, and is one of the
"Revolver Notes" referred to in, the Credit Agreement dated January __, 2003 (as
the same may be amended from time to time, the "Credit Agreement"), among
Borrowers, the financial institutions from time to time parties thereto as
lenders ("Lenders"), Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Administrative and
Collateral Agent for Lenders (in such capacity, "Agent"), Fleet Capital
Corporation as Syndication Agent, and National City Commercial Finance, Inc. as
Documentation Agent, and Holder is and shall be entitled to all benefits thereof
and of all Credit Documents executed and delivered in connection therewith. All
capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise defined herein, shall have the
meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

     The repayment of the principal balance of this Note shall be made in the
manner and to the extent stated in Section 5.2 of the Credit Agreement. The
entire unpaid principal balance and all accrued interest on this Note shall be
due and payable immediately upon the Commitment Termination Date.

     All payments of principal and interest shall be made in U.S. Dollars in
immediately available funds as specified in the Credit Agreement.

     Upon or after the occurrence of an Event of Default and for so long as such
Event of Default exists, the principal balance and all accrued interest of this
Note may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided
in the Credit Agreement, and the unpaid principal balance hereof shall bear
interest at the Default Rate as and when provided in Section 3.1.5 of the Credit
Agreement. Borrowers agree to pay, and save Holder harmless against any
liability for the payment of, all costs and expenses, including, but not limited
to, reasonable attorneys' fees, if this Note is collected by or through an
attorney-at-law.

     All principal amounts of Revolver Loans made by Holder to Borrowers
pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon,
shall be deemed outstanding under this Note and shall continue to be owing by
Borrowers until paid in accordance with the terms of this Note and the Credit
Agreement.

<PAGE>

     In no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of advancement of
the proceeds hereof or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to
Holder for the use, forbearance or detention of money advanced hereunder exceed
the highest lawful rate permissible under any law which a court of competent
jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto; and, in the event of any such payment
inadvertently paid by a Borrower or inadvertently received by Holder, such
excess sum shall be, at such Borrower's option, returned to such Borrower
forthwith or credited as a payment of principal, but shall not be applied to the
payment of interest. It is the intent hereof that Borrowers not pay or contract
to pay, and that Holder not receive or contract to receive, directly or
indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be
paid by Borrowers under Applicable Law.

     Time is of the essence of this Note. To the fullest extent permitted by
Applicable Law, each Borrower, for itself and its legal representatives,
successors and assigns, expressly waives presentment, demand, protest, notice of
dishonor, notice of non-payment, notice of maturity, notice of protest,
presentment for the purpose of accelerating maturity, diligence in collection,
and the benefit of any exemption or insolvency laws.

     Wherever possible each provision of this Note shall be interpreted in such
a manner as to be effective and valid under Applicable Law, but if any provision
of this Note shall be prohibited or invalid under Applicable Law, such provision
shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without
invalidating the remainder of such provision or remaining provisions of this
Note. No delay or failure on the part of Holder in the exercise of any right or
remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor as an acquiescence in
any default, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Holder of any right or
remedy preclude any other right or remedy. Agent may, at its option, enforce its
rights against any Collateral securing this Note without enforcing its rights
against any Borrower, any guarantor of the indebtedness evidenced hereby or any
other property or indebtedness due or to become due to any Borrower. Each
Borrower agrees that, without releasing or impairing Borrowers' liability
hereunder, Agent or any Holder may at any time release, surrender, substitute or
exchange any Collateral securing this Note and may at any time release any party
primarily or secondarily liable for the indebtedness evidenced by this Note.

     The rights of Holder and obligations of Borrowers hereunder shall be
construed in accordance with and governed by the laws (without giving effect to
the conflict of law principles thereof other than Section 5-1401 of the New York
General Obligations Law) of the State of New York.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Borrower has caused this Note to be executed and
delivered by its duly authorized officers on the date first above written.
