made in accordance with the foregoing provisions, then each Lender (other than
the Swingline Lender) shall purchase an undivided participating interest in such
Swingline Loan in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share thereof on the date that
such Base Rate Borrowing should have occurred. On the date of such required
purchase, each Lender shall promptly transfer, in immediately available funds,

account of the Swingline Lender. If such Swingline Loan bears interest at a rate
other than the Base Rate, such Swingline Loan shall automatically become a Base
Rate Loan on the effective date of any such participation and interest shall
become payable on demand.

                  (d)      Each Lender's obligation to make a Base Rate Loan
pursuant to Section 2.5(b) or to purchase the participating interests pursuant

than an Event of Default in existence at the time of the making of any Swingline
Loan by the Swingline Lender of which the Swingline Lender had actual knowledge)
or the termination of any Lender's Revolving Commitment, (iii) the existence (or
alleged existence) of any event or condition which has had or could reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (iv) any breach of this Agreement
or any other Loan Document by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any
Lender or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or
not similar to any of the foregoing. If such amount is not in fact made
available to the Swingline Lender by any Lender, the Swingline Lender shall be
entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender, together with
accrued interest thereon for each day from the date of demand thereof at the
Federal Funds Rate. Until such time as such Lender makes its required payment,
the Swingline Lender shall be deemed to continue to have outstanding Swingline
Loans in the amount of the unpaid participation for all purposes of the Loan
Documents. In addition, such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all
payments made of principal and interest on its Loans and any other amounts due
to it hereunder, to the Swingline Lender to fund the amount of such Lender's
participation interest in such Swingline Loans that such Lender failed to fund
pursuant to this Section 2.5, until such amount has been purchased in full.

Administrative Agent or at the Borrower's option, by effecting a wire transfer
of such amounts to an account designated by the Borrower to the Administrative
Agent.

                  (b)      Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been
notified by any Lender prior to 5:00 p.m. one (1) Business Day prior to the date
of a Borrowing in which such Lender is participating that such Lender will not
make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's share of such
Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such
amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date, and the
Administrative Agent, in reliance on such assumption, may make available to the
Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is
not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender on the
date of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover
such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest at
the Federal Funds Rate for up to two (2) days and thereafter at the rate
specified for such Borrowing. If the Administrative Agent has made available to
the Borrower any Lender's share of such Borrowing and such Lender does not pay
such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent's demand
therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower, and the
Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative
Agent together

                                      19

with interest at the rate specified for such Borrowing. Nothing in this
subsection shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fund its
Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the
Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender
hereunder.

                  (c)      All Revolving Borrowings shall be made by the Lenders
on the basis of their respective Pro Rata Shares. No Lender shall be responsible
for any default by any other Lender in its obligations hereunder, and each
Lender shall be obligated to make its Loans provided to be made by it hereunder,
regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Loans hereunder.

                  Section 2.7       Interest Elections.
                                    ------------------

                  (a)      Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type
specified in the applicable Notice of Borrowing, and in the case of a Eurodollar
Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Notice of
Borrowing. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing into a
different Type or to continue such Borrowing, and in the case of a Eurodollar
Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section
                                                                        -------
2.7. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions
---
of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated
ratably among the Lenders holding Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans
comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This
Section 2.7 shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted
-----------
or continued.

                  (b)      To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.7, the
                                                                -----------
Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent prior written notice (or telephonic
notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Borrowing (a "Notice of
Conversion/Continuation") that is to be converted or continued, as the case may
be, (x) prior to 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day of the requested date of a
conversion into a Base Rate Borrowing and (y) prior to 11:00 a.m. three (3)
Business Days prior to a continuation of or conversion into a Eurodollar
Borrowing. Each such Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall be irrevocable and
shall specify (i) the Borrowing to which such Notice of Continuation/Conversion
applies and if different options are being elected with respect to different
portions thereof, the portions thereof that are to be allocated to each
resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to
clauses (iii) and (iv) shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing); (ii)
the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Notice of
Continuation/Conversion, which shall be a Business Day, (iii) whether the
resulting Borrowing is to be a Base Rate Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing;
and (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the
Interest Period applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which
shall be a period contemplated by the definition of "Interest Period". If any
such Notice of Continuation/Conversion requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does
not specify an Interest Period, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an
Interest Period of one month. The principal amount of any resulting Borrowing
shall satisfy the minimum borrowing amount for Eurodollar Borrowings and Base
Rate Borrowings set forth in Section 2.3.
                             -----------

                  (c)      If, on the expiration of any Interest Period in
respect of any Eurodollar Borrowing, the Borrower shall have failed to deliver a
Notice of Conversion/Continuation, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as
provided herein, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such
Borrowing to a Base Rate Borrowing. No Borrowing may be converted into, or
continued as, a Eurodollar Borrowing if a Default or an Event of Default exists,
unless the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders shall have otherwise
consented in writing. No conversion of any Eurodollar Loans shall be permitted
except on the last day of the Interest Period in respect thereof.

                  (d)      Upon receipt of any Notice of
Conversion/Continuation, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each
Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender's portion of each resulting
Borrowing.

                                  -------------------------------------
Commitments; Extension of Commitments.
-------------------------------------

                  (a)     Unless previously terminated, all Revolving
Commitments shall terminate on the Commitment Termination Date, except that the
Swingline Commitment shall terminate on the Swingline Termination Date.

                  (b)     Upon at least three (3) Business Days' prior written
notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the
Administrative Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable), the Borrower may
reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments in part or terminate the Aggregate
Revolving Commitments in whole; provided, that (i) any partial reduction shall
                                --------
apply to reduce proportionately and permanently the Revolving Commitment of each
Lender, (ii) any partial reduction pursuant to this Section 2.8(b) shall be in
                                                    ----------- -
an amount of at least $5,000,000 and any larger multiple of $1,000,000, and
(iii) no such reduction shall be permitted which would reduce the Aggregate
Revolving Commitments to an amount less than the sum of the aggregate
outstanding Revolving Credit Exposures of all Lenders. Any such reduction in the
Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall result in a proportionate and permanent
reduction (rounded to the next lowest integral multiple of $100,000) in the
Swingline Commitment and the LC Commitment.

                  (c)     At least 60 but not more than 90 days prior to the
Scheduled Termination Date, the Borrower, by delivering a written request to the
Administrative Agent (such request being irrevocable), may request that the
Scheduled Commitment Termination Date be extended for an additional one-year
period, commencing on such Scheduled Commitment Termination Date. Upon receipt
of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly communicate such request
to the Lenders.

                  (d)     No earlier than 60 days prior, and no later than 45
days prior, to the Scheduled Commitment Termination Date, the Lenders shall
indicate to the Administrative Agent whether the Borrower's request to so extend
such Scheduled Commitment Termination Date is acceptable to the Lenders, it
being understood that the determination by each Lender will be in its sole and
absolute discretion and that the failure of any Lender to so respond within such
period shall be deemed to constitute a refusal by such Lender to consent to such
request, with the result being that such request is denied (any Lender refusing
or deemed to refuse any such request, a "Non-Consenting Lender"). The
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower, in writing, of the Lenders'
decisions no later than 30 days prior to the end of the Scheduled Commitment
Termination Date.

                  (e)     Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set
forth in Section 3.2, in the event that the sum of the Revolving Commitments of
         -----------
the Lenders that have consented to the Borrower's request to extend the
Scheduled Commitment Termination Date (the "Consenting Lenders") plus the
Revolving Commitments of Non-Consenting Lenders with respect to such request
that have been assigned pursuant to Section 10.4(b) shall constitute at least
                                    ------------ -
80% of the aggregate Revolving Commitments, the Scheduled Commitment Termination
Date shall be extended for an additional one-year period with respect to the
Revolving Commitments of such Consenting Lenders. The Revolving Commitments of
Non-Consenting Lenders with respect to such request shall automatically
terminate on the last day of the Scheduled Commitment Termination Date (and the
principal amount of all Revolving Loans made by such Non-Consenting Lenders,
together with accrued interest and fees to such date, shall be repaid), unless
assigned pursuant to Section 10.4(b); provided, that before the Borrower may
                     ------------ -   --------
solicit any institution other than the Consenting Lenders to purchase any
Non-Consenting Lender's Revolving Commitment pursuant to Section 10.4(b), the
                                                         ------------ -
Consenting Lenders, at least 15 days before the Scheduled Commitment Termination
Date, shall determine whether to purchase by assignment the Revolving
Commitments of such Non-Consenting Lenders.

                  (a)     The outstanding principal amount of all Revolving
Loans shall be due and payable on the Commitment Termination Date. Interest on
all Revolving Loans shall be payable as set forth in Section 2.12(d).
                                                     ------------ -

due and payable on the earlier of (i) the last day of the Interest Period
applicable to such Borrowing and (ii) the Swingline Termination Date. Interest
on all Swingline Loans shall be payable as set forth in Section 2.12(d).

                                  ------------------------

                  (a)     Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its
usual practice appropriate records evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower
to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time,
including the amounts of principal and interest payable thereon and paid to such
Lender from time to time under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall
maintain appropriate records in which shall be recorded (i) the Revolving
Commitment of each Lender, (ii) the amount of each Loan made hereunder by each
Lender, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto,
(iii) the date of each continuation thereof pursuant to Section 2.7, (iv) the
                                                        -----------
date of each conversion of all or a portion thereof to another Type pursuant to
Section 2.7, (v) the date and amount of any principal or interest due and
-----------
payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder
in respect of such Loans and (vi) both the date and amount of any sum received
by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower in respect of the Loans
and each Lender's Pro Rata Share thereof. The entries made in such records shall
be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the
Borrower therein recorded; provided, that the failure or delay of any Lender or
                           --------
the Administrative Agent in maintaining or making entries into any such record
or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the
Borrower to repay the Loans (both principal and unpaid accrued interest) of such
Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

                  (b)     At the request of any Lender (including the Swingline
Lender) at any time, the Borrower agrees that it will execute and deliver to
such Lender a Revolving Credit Note, and, in the case of the Swingline Lender
only, a Swingline Note, payable to the order of such Lender. At the request of
the Borrower, any such Revolving Credit Note or Swingline Note may be executed
and delivered by the Borrower outside of the State of Florida in such location
within the continental United States as may reasonably be acceptable to the
Administrative Agent.

                  Section 2.11    Prepayments.
                                  -----------

                  (a)     Mandatory Prepayments. The Borrower shall be required
to make mandatory principal prepayments to the Administrative Agent without the
Administrative Agent's further demand therefor (i) if, as of any fiscal quarter
end of the Borrower, the sum of the aggregate outstanding Revolving Credit
Exposures of all Lenders exceed the aggregate amount that the Borrower would
then have been entitled to borrow or retain under the applicable provisions of
Section 2.1 and (ii) if, and to the extent, required by Section 7.6(c). Such
-----------                                             ----------- -
mandatory principal prepayment under clause (i) above shall be in the amount
necessary to reduce the sum of the aggregate outstanding Revolving Credit
Exposures of all Lenders to the maximum amount that the Borrower then would be
entitled to borrow or retain hereunder and shall be made, in any event, within
ten (10) days after the end of the applicable fiscal quarter end of Borrower.
Further, such mandatory principal prepayment under clause (ii) above shall be
made promptly following receipt by Borrower of the Net Cash Proceeds pursuant to
Section 7.6(c).
----------- -

                  (b)     Optional Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the
right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in
part, without premium or penalty, by giving irrevocable written notice (or
telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent no
later than 11:00 a.m. (i) in the case of prepayment of any Eurodollar Borrowing,
not less than three (3) Business Days prior to any such prepayment, (ii) in the
case of any prepayment of any Base Rate Borrowing, on the Business Day of such
prepayment, and (iii) in the case of Swingline Borrowings, on the date of such
prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the proposed
date of such prepayment and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion
thereof to be prepaid. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify each affected Lender of the contents thereof and of such
Lender's Pro Rata Share of any such prepayment. If such notice is given, the
aggregate amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date
designated in such notice, together with accrued interest to such date on the
amount so prepaid in accordance with Section 2.12(d); provided, that if a
                                     ------------ -   --------
Eurodollar Borrowing is prepaid on a date other than the last day of an Interest
Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay all amounts required
pursuant to Section 2.18. Each partial prepayment of any Loan (other than a
            ------------
Swingline Loan) shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an
advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type pursuant to Section 2.3 or in
                                                              -----------
the case of a Swingline Loan pursuant to Section 2.5. Each prepayment of a
                                         -----------
Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans comprising such Borrowing.

                  Section 2.12    Interest on Loans.
                                  -----------------

                  (a)     The Borrower shall pay interest on each Base Rate Loan
at the Base Rate in effect from time to time and on each Eurodollar Loan at the
Adjusted LIBO Rate for the applicable Interest Period in effect for such Loan,
plus, in each case, the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time but, in no
event, to exceed the Maximum Rate.

                  (b)     The Borrower shall pay interest on each Swingline Loan
at the Swingline Rate in effect from time to time but, in no event, to exceed
the Maximum Rate.

                  (c)     While an Event of Default exists or after
acceleration, at the option of the Required Lenders, the Borrower shall pay
interest ("Default Interest") with respect to all Eurodollar Loans at the rate
otherwise applicable for the then-current Interest Period plus an additional two
percent (2%) per annum until the last day of such Interest Period, and
thereafter, and with respect to all Base Rate Loans (including all Swingline
Loans) and all other Obligations hereunder (other than Loans), at an all-in rate
in effect for Base Rate Loans (i.e., including Applicable Margin), plus an
additional 2% per annum.

                  (d)     Interest on the principal amount of all Loans shall
accrue from and including the date such Loans are made to but excluding the date
of any repayment thereof. Interest on all outstanding Base Rate Loans shall be
payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each fiscal quarter of the
Borrower and on the Commitment Termination Date. Interest on all outstanding
Eurodollar Loans shall be payable on the last day of each Interest Period
applicable thereto, and, in the case of any Eurodollar Loans having an Interest
Period in excess of three months, on each day which occurs every three months
after the initial date of such Interest Period, and on the Commitment
Termination Date. Interest on each Swingline Loan shall be payable quarterly in
arrears on the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower and on the
Swingline Termination Date. Interest on any Loan which is converted into a Loan
of another Type or which is repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of
such conversion or on the date of any such repayment or prepayment (on the
amount repaid or prepaid) thereof. All Default Interest shall be payable on
demand.

                  (e)     The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest
rate applicable to the Loans hereunder and shall promptly notify the Borrower
and the Lenders of such rate in writing (or by telephone, promptly confirmed in
writing). Any such determination shall be conclusive and binding for all
purposes, absent manifest error.

                  Section 2.13    Fees.
                                  ----

                  (a)     Administrative Agent Fees. The Borrower shall pay to
the Administrative Agent for its own account fees in the amounts and at the
times previously agreed upon the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

                  (b)     Commitment Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee, which
shall accrue at the Applicable Percentage (determined quarterly in accordance
with Schedule I or Schedule II, as applicable) on the average daily amount of
     ----------    -----------
the unused Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the Availability Period;
provided, that if such Lender continues to have any Revolving Credit Exposure
--------
after the Commitment Termination Date, then the commitment fee shall continue to
accrue on the average daily amount of such Lender's unused Revolving Commitment
from and after the Commitment Termination Date to the date that all of such
Lender's Revolving Credit Exposure has been paid in full. The Applicable
Percentage shall initially be 0.25%, but shall be reset from time to time as
provided in the definition of "Applicable Percentage" herein. Accrued commitment
fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of each fiscal quarter of the
Borrower and on the Commitment Termination Date, commencing on the first such
date after the Closing Date; provided that any commitment fees accruing after
                             --------
the Commitment Termination Date shall be payable on demand. For purposes of
computing commitment fees with respect to the Revolving Commitments, the
Revolving Commitment of each Lender shall be deemed used to the extent of the
outstanding Revolving Loans and LC Exposure of such Lender (but outstanding
Swingline Loans shall not be deemed usage of the Revolving Commitment of each
Lender).

<PAGE>

                  (c)     Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay (i)
to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, a letter of credit
fee with respect to its participation in each Letter of Credit, which shall
accrue at the Applicable Margin then in effect for Eurodollar Borrowings on the
average daily amount of such Lender's LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof
attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) attributable to such Letter of
Credit during the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter
of Credit to but excluding the date on which such Letter expires or is drawn in
full (including without limitation any LC Exposure that remains outstanding
after the Commitment Termination Date) and (ii) to the Issuing Bank for its own
account a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum on
the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof
attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the Availability Period
(or until the date that such Letter of Credit is irrevocably cancelled,
whichever is later), as well as the Issuing Bank's standard fees with respect to
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing
of drawings thereunder.

                  (d)     Payments. Accrued fees shall be payable quarterly in
arrears on the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower, commencing on
June 30, 2002 and on the Commitment Termination Date (and if later, the date the
Loans and LC Exposure shall be repaid in their entirety).

                  Section 2.14    Computation of Interest and Fees. All
                                  --------------------------------
computations of interest and fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year
of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding
the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are
payable (to the extent computed on the basis of days elapsed). Each
determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest amount or fee hereunder
shall be made in good faith and, except for manifest error, shall be final,
conclusive and binding for all purposes.

                  Section 2.15    Inability to Determine Interest Rates. If
                                  -------------------------------------
prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing,

                  (a)     the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which
determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason
of circumstances affecting the relevant interbank market, adequate means do not
exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such Interest Period, or

                  (b)     the Administrative Agent shall have received notice
from the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate does not adequately and
fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender, as the case may be) of
making, funding or maintaining their (or its, as the case may be) Eurodollar
Loans for such Interest Period,

the Administrative Agent shall give written notice (or telephonic notice,
promptly confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and to the Lenders as soon as
practicable thereafter. In the case of Eurodollar Loans, until the
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the
circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) the obligations of
the Lenders to make Eurodollar Revolving Loans or to continue or convert
outstanding Loans as or into Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended and (ii) all
such affected Loans shall be converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day of
the then current Interest Period applicable thereto unless the Borrower prepays
such Loans in accordance with this Agreement. Unless the Borrower notifies the
Administrative Agent at least one (1) Business Day before the date of any
Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing for which a Notice of Revolving Borrowing has
previously been given that it elects not to borrow on such date, then such
Revolving Borrowing shall be made as a Base Rate Borrowing.

                  Section 2.16    Illegality. If any Change in Law shall make
                                  ----------
it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to make, maintain or fund any
Eurodollar Loan and such Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower and the
other Lenders, whereupon until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and
the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer
exist, the obligation of such Lender to make Eurodollar Revolving Loans, or to
continue or convert outstanding Loans as or into Eurodollar Loans, shall be
suspended. In the case of the making of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, such
Lender's Revolving Loan shall be made as a Base Rate Loan as part of the same
Revolving Borrowing for the same Interest Period and if the affected Eurodollar
Loan is then outstanding, such Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan
either (a) on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to
such Eurodollar Loan if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Loan
to such date or (b) immediately if such Lender shall determine that it may not
lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loan

                                      24
<PAGE>

to such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the affected Lender shall, prior to
giving such notice to the Administrative Agent, designate a different Applicable
Lending Office if such designation would avoid the need for giving such notice
and if such designation would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in

                  Section 2.17    Increased Costs.
                                  ---------------

                  (a)     If any Change in Law shall:

                          (i)     impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve,
                  special deposit or similar requirement that is not otherwise
                  included in the determination of the Adjusted LIBO Rate
                  hereunder against assets of, deposits with or for the account
                  of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve
                  requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the
                  Issuing Bank; or

                          (ii)    impose on any Lender or on the Issuing Bank or
                  the eurodollar interbank market any other condition affecting
                  this Agreement or any Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or
                  any Letter of Credit or any participation therein;

and the result of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of
making, converting into, continuing or maintaining a Eurodollar Loan or to
increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of participating in or
issuing any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount received or receivable by
such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any
other amount), then the Borrower shall promptly pay, upon written notice from
and demand by such Lender on the Borrower (with a copy of such notice and demand
to the Administrative Agent), to the Administrative Agent for the account of
such Lender, within five (5) Business Days after the date of such notice and
demand, additional amount or amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or the
Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or
reduction suffered.

                  (b)     If any Lender or the Issuing Bank shall have
determined that on or after the date of this Agreement any Change in Law
regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate
of return on such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's capital (or on the capital of
such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's parent corporation) as a consequence of its
obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level
below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender's or the Issuing
Bank's parent corporation could have achieved but for such Change in Law, then,
from time to time, within five (5) Business Days after receipt by the Borrower
of written demand by such Lender (with a copy thereof to the Administrative
Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will
compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender's or the Issuing
Bank's parent corporation for any such reduction suffered.

                  (c)     A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting
forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing
Bank or such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's parent corporation, as the case may
be, specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.17 shall be delivered to
                                              ------------
the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and shall be conclusive,
absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay any such Lender or the Issuing
Bank, as the case may be, such amount or amounts within ten (10) days after
receipt thereof.

                  (d)     Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the
Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall not
                                                     ------------
constitute a waiver of such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's right to demand such
compensation.

                  Section 2.18    Funding Indemnity. In the event of (a) the
                                  -----------------
payment of any principal of a Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the
Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of
Default), (b) the conversion or continuation of a Eurodollar Loan other than on
the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (c) the failure by
the Borrower to borrow, prepay, convert or continue any Eurodollar Loan on the
date specified in any applicable notice (regardless of whether such notice is
withdrawn or revoked), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate
each Lender, within five (5) Business Days after written demand from such
Lender, for any loss, cost or expense attributable to such event. In the case of
a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense shall be deemed to include an
amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the

                                      25
<PAGE>

amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such
Eurodollar Loan if such event had not occurred at the Adjusted LIBO Rate
applicable to such Eurodollar Loan for the period from the date of such event to
the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or in the case of a
failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the
Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loan) over (ii) the amount of interest that
would accrue on the principal amount of such Eurodollar Loan for the same period
if the Adjusted LIBO Rate were set on the date such Eurodollar Loan was prepaid
or converted or the date on which the Borrower failed to borrow, convert or
continue such Eurodollar Loan. A certificate as to any additional amount payable
under this Section 2.18 submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be
           ------------
conclusive, absent manifest error.

                  Section 2.19    Taxes.
                                  -----

                  (a)     Any and all payments by or on account of any
obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without
deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided, that if the
                                                    --------
Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from
such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that
after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section 2.19) the Administrative Agent, any
                                   ------------
Lender or the Issuing Bank (as the case may be) shall receive an amount equal to
the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the
Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full
amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable law.

                  (b)     In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to
the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

                  (c)     The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent,
each Lender and the Issuing Bank, within five (5) Business Days after written
demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case
may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of
the Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or
asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.19) and any
                                                          ------------
penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect
thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or
legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A
certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the
Borrower by a Lender or the Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its
own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive
absent manifest error.

                  (d)     As soon as practicable after any payment of
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority,
the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a
certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing
such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of
such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

                  (e)     Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption
from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which
the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party,
with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by
applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by
applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such
payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, each Foreign Lender agrees that it will deliver
to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (or in the case of a Participant,
to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased)
(i) two (2) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 or 4224,
or any successor form thereto, as the case may be, certifying in each case that
such Foreign Lender is entitled to receive payments made by the Borrower
hereunder and under the Notes payable to it, without deduction or withholding of
any United States federal income taxes and (ii) a duly completed Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9, or any successor form thereto, as the case may
be, to establish an exemption from United State backup withholding tax. Each
such Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
such forms on or before the date that it becomes a party to this Agreement (or
in the case of a Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases
the related participation). In addition, each such Lender shall deliver such
forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously
delivered by such Lender. Each such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent at any time that it

                                      26
<PAGE>

determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously
delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification
adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose).

                                  ---------------------------------------
Sharing of Set-offs.
-------------------

                  (a)     The Borrower shall make each payment required to be
made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of
LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.17, 2.18, 2.19, or
                                              ------------  ----  ----
10.3, or otherwise) and each optional prepayment permitted by Section 2.11(b)
----                                                          ------------ -
prior to 12:00 noon, on the date when due, in immediately available funds,
without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any
date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been
received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating
interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at
the Payment Office, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or
Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant
to Sections 2.17, 2.18, 2.19 and 10.3 shall be made directly to the Persons
   -------------  ----  ----     ----
entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments
received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient
promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a
day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the
next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest,
interest thereon shall be made payable for the period of such extension. All
payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars.

                  (b)     If at any time insufficient funds are received by and
available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal,
unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds
shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due
                     -----
hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the
amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards
                                                                ------
payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder,
ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of
principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

                  (c)     If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-of
or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or
interest on any of its Revolving Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or
Swingline Loans that would result in such Lender receiving payment of a greater
proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans and participations in
LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the
proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater
proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the
Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of
other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments
shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount
of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans and
participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided, that (i) if
                                                        --------
any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment
giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the
purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and
(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any
payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express
terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for
the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or
participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans to any assignee or
participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof
(as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower
consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so
under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the
foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and
counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were
a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

                  (d)     Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank
hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent
may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance
herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or
the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount or amounts due. In such event,
if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or
the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such
Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including
the date such amount is distributed to it to but

                                      27
<PAGE>

excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the
Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in
accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

                  (e)     If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required
to be made by it pursuant to Sections 2.5(b), 2.6(b), 2.20(d), 2.22(d) or (e) or
                             ------------ -   --- -   ---- -   ---- -      -
10.3(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding
---- -
any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender's
obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully
paid.

                  Section 2.21    Mitigation of Obligations; Replacement of
                                  -----------------------------------------
Lenders.
-------

                  (a)     If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 2.17, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any
------------
Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
Section 2.19, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a
------------
different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign
its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or
affiliates, if, in the sole judgment of such Lender, such designation or
assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable under Section 2.17 or
                                                               ------------
Section 2.19, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such
------------
Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be
disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all costs and
expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with such designation or
assignment.

                  (b)     If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 2.17, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any
------------
Lender or any Governmental Authority of the account of any Lender pursuant to
Section 2.19, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans
------------
hereunder, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to
such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and
delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions
set forth in Section 10.4(b) all its interests, rights and obligations under
             ------------ -
this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee
may be another Lender); provided, that (i) the Borrower shall have received the
                        --------
prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount
equal to the outstanding principal amount of all Loans owed to it, accrued
interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder,
from the assignee (in the case of such outstanding principal and accrued
interest) and from the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in
the case of a claim for compensation under Section 2.17 or payments required to
                                           ------------
be made pursuant to Section 2.19, such assignment will result in a reduction in
                    ------------
such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such
assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such
Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such
assignment and delegation cease to apply.

                  Section 2.22    Letters of Credit.
                                  -----------------

                  (a)     On the Closing Date, Bank of America, N.A., as the
Issuing Bank under the Existing Letters of Credit, in reliance upon the
agreements of the other Lenders pursuant to Section 2.22(d), agrees to continue
                                            ------------ -
the prior issuance of such Existing Letters of Credit on the terms and
conditions set forth therein. Thereafter during the Availability Period, the
Issuing Bank, in reliance upon said agreements of the other Lenders pursuant to
Section 2.22(d), agrees to issue, at the request of the Borrower, Letters of
------------ -
Credit for the account of the Borrower on the terms and conditions hereinafter
set forth; provided, that (i) each Letter of Credit shall expire on the earlier
           --------
of (A) the date one year after the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (or
in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or
extension) and (B) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the
Commitment Termination Date; (ii) each Letter of Credit may be in any stated
amount subject, however, to the provisions of clause (iii) hereof; and (iii) the
       -------  -------
Borrower may not request any Letter of Credit, if, after giving effect to such
issuance (A) the aggregate LC Exposure would exceed the LC Commitment or (B) the
sum of the aggregate outstanding Revolving Credit Exposures of all Lenders would
exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments. Upon the issuance of each Letter of
Credit (which, as set forth in the definition thereof, includes each Existing
Letter of Credit), each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Issuing Bank without recourse a
participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share of
the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Each
issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be

                                      28
<PAGE>

deemed to utilize the Revolving Commitment of each Lender by an amount equal to
the amount of such participation.

                  (b)     To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or any
amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the
Borrower shall give the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent irrevocable
written notice at least three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of
such issuance specifying the date (which shall be a Business Day) such Letter of
Credit is to be issued (or amended, extended or renewed, as the case may be),
the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of
Credit , the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other
information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter
of Credit. In addition to the satisfaction of the conditions in Article III, the
                                                                -----------
issuance of such Letter of Credit (or any amendment which increases the amount
of such Letter of Credit) will be subject to the further conditions that such
Letter of Credit shall be in such form and contain such terms as the Issuing
Bank shall approve and that the Borrower shall have executed and delivered any
additional applications, agreements and instruments relating to such Letter of
Credit as the Issuing Bank shall reasonably require; provided, that in the event
                                                     --------
of any conflict between such applications, agreements or instruments and this
Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

                  (c)     At least two (2) Business Days prior to the issuance
of any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank will confirm with the Administrative
Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received
such notice and if not, the Issuing Bank will provide the Administrative Agent
with a copy thereof. Unless the Issuing Bank has received notice from the
Administrative Agent on or before the Business Day immediately preceding the
date the Issuing Bank is to issue the requested Letter of Credit directing the
Issuing Bank not to issue the Letter of Credit because such issuance is not then
permitted hereunder because of the limitations set forth in Section 2.22(a) or
                                                            ------------ -
that one or more conditions specified in Article III are not then satisfied,
                                         -----------
then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Bank shall, on the
requested date, issue such Letter of Credit in accordance with the Issuing
Bank's usual and customary business practices.

                  (d) The Issuing Bank shall examine all documents purporting to
represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit promptly following its
receipt thereof. The Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has
made or will make a LC Disbursement thereunder; provided, that any failure to
                                                --------
give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its
obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to such LC
Disbursement. The Borrower shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to
reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursements paid by the Issuing Bank in
respect of such drawing, without presentment, demand or other formalities of any
kind. Unless the Borrower shall have notified the Issuing Bank and the
Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day immediately prior
to the date on which such drawing is honored that the Borrower intends to
reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount of such drawing in funds other than
from the proceeds of Revolving Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have
timely given a Notice of Revolving Borrowing to the Administrative Agent
requesting the Lenders to make a Base Rate Borrowing on the date on which such
drawing is honored in an exact amount due to the Issuing Bank; provided, that
                                                               --------
for purposes solely of such Borrowing, the conditions precedents set forth in
Section 3.2 hereof shall not be applicable. The Administrative Agent shall
-----------
notify the Lenders of such Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.3, and each
                                                        -----------
Lender shall make the proceeds of its Base Rate Loan included in such Borrowing
available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank in
accordance with Section 2.6. The proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied
                -----------
directly by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for such LC
Disbursement.

                  (e)     If for any reason a Base Rate Borrowing may not be (as
determined in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), or is not, made
in accordance with the foregoing provisions, then each Lender (other than the
Issuing Bank) shall be obligated to fund the participation that such Lender
purchased pursuant to subsection (a) in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of
such LC Disbursement on and as of the date which such Base Rate Borrowing should
have occurred. Each Lender's obligation to fund its participation shall be
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance,
including without limitation (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense
or other right that such Lender or any other Person may have against the Issuing
Bank or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the existence of a
Default or an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default in existence at
the time of the issuance of any Letter of Credit by the Issuing Bank of which
the Issuing Bank had actual knowledge) or the termination of the Aggregate
Revolving Commitments, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or
otherwise) of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (iv) any breach

                                      29
<PAGE>

of this Agreement by the Borrower or any other Lender, (v) any amendment,
renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or (vi) any other circumstance,
happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.
On the date that such participation is required to be funded, each Lender shall
promptly transfer, in immediately available funds, the amount of its
participation to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank.
Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Bank has received from any such Lender
the funds for its participation in a LC Disbursement, the Issuing Bank (or the
Administrative Agent on its behalf) receives any payment on account thereof, the
Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, will distribute to
such Lender its Pro Rata Share of such payment; provided, that if such payment
                                                --------
is required to be returned for any reason to the Borrower or to a trustee,
receiver, liquidator, custodian or similar official in any bankruptcy
proceeding, such Lender will return to the Administrative Agent or the Issuing
Bank any portion thereof previously distributed by the Administrative Agent or
the Issuing Bank to it.

                  (f)     To the extent that any Lender shall fail to pay any
amount required to be paid pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section 2.22 on the
                                                             ------------
due date therefor, such Lender shall pay interest to the Issuing Bank (through
the Administrative Agent) on such amount from such due date to the date such
payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate; provided,
                                                                     --------
that if such Lender shall fail to make such payment to the Issuing Bank within
three (3) Business Days of such due date, then, retroactively to the due date,
such Lender shall be obligated to pay interest on such amount at the Default
Rate.

                  (g)     If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing,
on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative
Agent or the Required Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant
to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the
Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the
benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such
date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided, that the obligation
                                                   --------
to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such
deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or notice of
any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the
Borrower described in clause (g) or (h) of Section 8.1. Such deposit shall be
                                           -----------
held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance
of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. The Administrative
Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right
of withdrawal, over such account. At the request of the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent shall hold such deposit in an interest-bearing money market
demand deposit account at the Borrower's risk and expense; otherwise, such
deposit shall not bear interest. Interest and profits, if any, on such
investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall
applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC
Disbursements for which it had not been reimbursed and to the extent so applied,
shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the
Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has
been accelerated, with the consent of the Required Lenders, be applied to
satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower
is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the
occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not so applied as
aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower with three (3) Business Days after
all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

                  (h)     Promptly following the end of each fiscal quarter, the
Issuing Bank shall deliver (through the Administrative Agent) to each Lender and
the Borrower a report describing the aggregate Letters of Credit outstanding at
the end of such fiscal quarter. Upon the request of any Lender from time to
time, the Issuing Bank shall deliver to such Lender any other information
reasonably requested by such Lender with respect to each Letter of Credit then
outstanding.

                  (i)     The Borrower's obligation to reimburse LC
Disbursements hereunder shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and
shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under
all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of any of the following
circumstances:

                  (i)     Any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter
         of Credit or this Agreement;

                  (ii)    The existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other
         right which the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrower
         may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any
         Letter of Credit (or any Persons or entities for whom any such
         beneficiary or transferee may be acting), any

                                      30

         Lender (including the Issuing Bank) or any other Person, whether in
         connection with this Agreement or the Letter of Credit or any document
         related hereto or thereto or any unrelated transaction;

                  (iii)   Any draft or other document presented under a Letter
         of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or
         any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

                  (iv)    Payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit
         against presentation of a draft or other document to the Issuing Bank
         that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

                  (v)     Any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or
         not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions
         of this Section 2.22, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or
                 ------------
         provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower's obligations
         hereunder; or

                  (vi)     The existence of a Default or an Event of Default.

Neither the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Lenders nor any Related
Party of any of the foregoing shall have any liability or responsibility by
reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit
or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of
the circumstances referred to above), or any error, omission, interruption, loss
or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication
under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to
make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or
any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank;
provided, that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank
--------
from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed
to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the
Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower
that are caused by the Issuing Bank's failure to exercise care when determining
whether drafts or other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with
the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree, that in the absence of
gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as
finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall
be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of
the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree
that, with respect to documents presented that appear on their face to be in
substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank
may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents
without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or
information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such
documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such
Letter of Credit.

                  (j)     Each Letter of Credit shall be subject to the Uniform
Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (1993 Revision), International
Chamber of Commerce Publication No.500, as the same may be amended from time to
time, and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the governing law of this
Agreement set forth in Section 10.5.

                  The Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative
Agent and each Lender as follows:

                  Section 4.1     Existence; Power. The Borrower and each of
                                  ----------------
its Subsidiaries (i) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing as
a corporation or other legally organized entity under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization, (ii) has all requisite power and authority to
carry on its business as now

<PAGE>

conducted, and (iii) is duly qualified to do business, and is in good standing,
in each jurisdiction where such qualification is required, except where a
failure to be so qualified could not reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect.

                  Section 4.2     Organizational Power; Authorization. The
                                  -----------------------------------
execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of the Loan Documents to
which it is a party are within such Loan Party's organizational powers and have
been duly authorized by all necessary organizational, and if required,
stockholder or other equity owner, action. This Agreement has been duly executed
and delivered by the Borrower, and constitutes, and each other Loan Document to
which any Loan Party is a party, when executed and delivered by such Loan Party,
will constitute, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower or such Loan
Party (as the case may be), enforceable against it in accordance with their
respective terms, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights generally and by general principles of equity.

                  Section 4.3     Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The
                                  ------------------------------------
execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of this Agreement, and by
each Loan Party of the other Loan Documents to which it is a party (a) do not
require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any action
by, any Governmental Authority, except those as have been obtained or made and
are in full force and effect or where the failure to do so, individually or in
the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect, (b) will not violate any applicable law or regulation or the charter,
by-laws or other organizational documents of the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries or any order of any Governmental Authority, (c) will not violate or
result in a default under any indenture, material agreement or other material
instrument binding on the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (including without
limitation, any Major Distribution Agreement) or any of its assets or give rise
to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of any
Lien on any asset of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, except Liens (if
any) created under the Loan Documents.

                  Section 4.4     Financial Statements. The Borrower has

and its Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and the related consolidated
statements of income, shareholders' equity and comprehensive income and cash
flows for the fiscal year then ended reported on by Arthur Andersen, LLP,
independent certified public accountants. Such financial statements fairly
present the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries as of such date and the consolidated results of operations for such
period in conformity with GAAP consistently applied. Since December 31, 2001,
there have been no changes with respect to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
which have had or could reasonably be expected to have, singly or in the
aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

                  Section 4.5     Litigation and Environmental Matters.

                  (a)     Schedule 4.5(a) sets forth certain litigation which is
pending against Borrower as of the Closing Date (the "Pending Litigation"). No
litigation (including the Pending Litigation), investigation or proceeding of or
before any arbitrators or Governmental Authorities is pending against or, to the
knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries (i) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an
adverse determination that could reasonably be expected to have, either
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) which in any
manner draws into question the validity or enforceability of this Loan Agreement

Agreement, other than Hedging Agreements which are non-speculative in purpose
and nature and are entered into in the ordinary course of business to hedge or
mitigate risks to which the Borrower or any Subsidiary is exposed in the conduct

Subsidiaries is or may become obliged to make any payment (i) in connection with
the purchase by any third party of any common stock or any Indebtedness or (ii)

Default or Event of Default shall exist at such time. If no successor
Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such

States of America or any state thereof or a bank which maintains an office in
the United States, having a combined capital and surplus of at least

privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. If within forty-five (45) days
after written notice is given of the retiring Administrative Agent's resignation
under this Section 9.7 no successor Administrative Agent shall have been

retiring Administrative Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and
obligations under the Loan Documents and (iii) the Required Lenders shall

Agent's resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article IX shall continue

in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent and its
representatives and agents in respect of any actions taken or not taken by any
of them while it was serving as the Administrative Agent.

                  Section 10.2    Waiver; Amendments.
                                  ------------------

                  (a)     No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or any
other Loan Document, and no course of dealing between the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall
any single or partial exercise of any such right or power or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power hereunder
or thereunder. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative
and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. No waiver of
any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any
departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the
same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 10.2, and then such
                                                 ------------
waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
making of a Loan or the issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as
a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or
knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time.

                  (b)     No amendment or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, nor consent to any departure by the
Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in
writing and signed by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders (and, if the
Administrative Agent executes and delivers any such amendment, waiver or consent
which states that it is being provided by the Administrative Agent in its
capacity as such with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Borrower shall be
entitled to rely thereon) and then such waiver or consent shall be effective
only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given;
provided, that no amendment or waiver shall: (i) increase the Commitment of any
--------
Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal
amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or
reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender
affected thereby, (iii) postpone the date fixed for any payment of any principal
of, or interest on, any Loan or LC Disbursement or interest thereon or any fees
hereunder or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone
the scheduled date for the termination or reduction of any Commitment, without
the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.20(b)
                                                                 ------------ -
or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required
    -
thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) change any of the
provisions of this Section 10.2 or the definition of "Required Lenders" or any
                   ------------
other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders which are
required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any
determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the consent of each
Lender; (vi) release any guarantor or limit the liability of any such guarantor
under any guaranty agreement; (vii) release all or substantially all of the
collateral (if any) securing any of the Obligations; provided further, that no
                                                     -------- -------
such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights, duties or
obligations of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Bank or the Issuing Bank
without the prior written consent of such Person.

                  Section 10.3    Expenses; Indemnification.
                                  -------------------------

                  (a)     The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable,
out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates,
including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the
Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, in connection with the syndication of
the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of
the Loan Documents and any amendments, modifications or waivers thereof (whether
or not the transactions contemplated in this Agreement or any other Loan
Document shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal
or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and
(iii) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the
reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of outside counsel and the allocated
cost of inside counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank
or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in
connection with this Agreement, including its rights under this Section 10.3, or
                                                                ------------
in connection with the Loans made or any Letters of Credit issued hereunder,
including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout,
restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

<PAGE>

                  (b)     The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the
foregoing (each, an "Indemnitee") against, and hold each of them harmless from,
any and all costs, losses, liabilities, claims, damages and related expenses,
including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee,
which may be incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in
connection with or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this
Agreement or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the
performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or
the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan
or Letter of Credit or any actual or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom
(including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a
Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do
not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual
or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property
owned by the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any Environmental Liability related
in any way to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or (iv) any actual or prospective
claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing,
whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether
any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided, that the Borrower shall not be
                                   --------
obligated to indemnify any Indemnitee for any of the foregoing arising out of
such Indemnitee's gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment.

                  (c)     The Borrower shall pay, and hold the Administrative
Agent and each of the Lenders harmless from and against, any and all present and
future stamp, documentary, and other similar taxes with respect to this
Agreement and any other Loan Documents, any collateral described therein, or any
payments due thereunder, and save the Administrative Agent and each Lender
harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting
from any delay or omission to pay such taxes.

                  (d)     To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any
amount required to be paid to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the
Swingline Lender under clauses (a), (b) or (c) hereof, each Lender severally
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline
Lender, as the case may be, such Lender's Pro Rata Share (determined as of the
time that the unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such
unpaid amount; provided, that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified payment,
               --------
claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by
or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline
Lender in its capacity as such.

                  (e)     To the extent permitted by applicable law, the
Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee,
on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive
damages (as opposed to actual or direct damages) arising out of, in connection
with or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument
contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated therein, any Loan or any
Letter of Credit or the use of proceeds thereof.

                  (f)     All amounts due under this Section 10.3 shall be
                                                     ------------
payable promptly after written demand therefor.

                  Section 10.4    Successors and Assigns.
                                  ----------------------

                  (a)     The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any
of its rights hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and
any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall
be null and void).

                  (b)     Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more
assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitment and
the Loans and LC Exposure at the time owing to it); provided, that (i) except in
                                                    --------
the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, each of the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of an assignment of all
or a portion of a Commitment or any Lender's obligations in respect of its LC
Exposure or Swingline Exposure, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender) must
give their prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed), (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an
Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire amount of the assigning
Lender's Commitment hereunder or an assignment while an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the amount of the Commitment of the

                                      52
<PAGE>

assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the
Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the
Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 (unless the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent shall otherwise consent), (iii) each partial assignment
shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning
Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, (iv) the assigning Lender and the assignee shall execute and deliver
to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a
processing and recordation fee payable by the assigning Lender or the assignee
(as determined between such Persons) in an amount equal to $1,000 and (v) such
assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver a duly completed Administrative
Questionnaire to the Administrative Agent; provided, that any consent of the
                                           --------
Borrower otherwise required hereunder shall not be required if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing. Upon the execution and delivery of the
Assignment and Acceptance and payment by such assignee to the assigning Lender
of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such Persons, such
assignee shall become a party to this Agreement and any other Loan Documents to
which such assigning Lender is a party and, to the extent of such interest
assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, shall have the rights and
obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender shall be
released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent (and, in the
case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender's
rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a
party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.17,
                                                                  -------------
2.18 and 2.19 and 10.3. Upon the consummation of any such assignment hereunder,
----     ----     ----
the assigning Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make
appropriate arrangements to have new Notes issued if so requested by either or
both the assigning Lender or the assignee. Any assignment or other transfer by a
Lender that does not fully comply with the terms of this clause (b) shall be
treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale of a participation pursuant to
clause (c) below.

                  (c)     Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender,
sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a "Participant") in
                                                               -----------
all or a portion of such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment, the Loans owing to it and its LC
Exposure); provided, that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement
           --------
shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the
other parties hereto for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and (iii)
the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Bank, the Issuing Bank and
the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents. Any agreement between such Lender and the Participant
with respect to such participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain
the sole right and responsibility to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided, that such participation
                                        --------
agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the
Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement
described in the first proviso of Section 10.2(b) that affects the Participant.
                                  ------------ -
The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 2.17, 2.18 and 2.19 to the same extent as if it were a Lender hereunder
-------------  ----     ----
and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b); provided,
                                                                       --------
that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Section 2.17 or 2.19 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to
------------    ----
receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant unless the
sale of such participation is made with the Borrower's prior written consent. To
the extent permitted by law, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be
entitled to the benefits of Section 2.20 as though it were a Lender, provided,
                            ------------                             --------
that such Participant agrees to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof in
accordance with Section 2.20 as fully as if it were a Lender hereunder. A
                ------------
Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be
entitled to the benefits of Section 2.19 unless the Borrower is notified of such
                            ------------
participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the
benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.19(e) as though it were a
                                        ------------ -
Lender hereunder.

                  (d)     Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security
interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and its Notes
(if any) to secure its obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank without complying
with this Section 10.4; provided, that no such pledge or assignment shall
          ------------  --------
release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such
pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

                  (e)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, any Lender (a "Granting Lender") may grant to a special purpose funding
                       ---------------
vehicle (an "SPV"), identified as such in writing from time to time by the
             ---
Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to
provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender
would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to

                                      53
<PAGE>

this Agreement; provided, that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment
                --------
by any SPV to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such
option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of any Loan, the Granting
Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The
making of a Loan by an SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the
Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if such Loan were made by such
Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for
any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability
for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the
foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the
termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one
day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other
senior indebtedness of any SPV, it will not institute against, or join any other
person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United
States or any State contrary in this Section 10.4, any SPV may (i) with notice
                                     ------------
to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all
or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any
financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such
SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a
confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any
rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or
credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV. As this Section 10.4(e) applies to
                                                     ---------------
any particular SPV, this Section 10.4 may not be amended without the written
                         ------------
consent of such SPV.

                  (a)      This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be
construed in accordance with and be governed by the law (without giving effect
to the conflict of law principles thereof) of the State of Florida.

                  (b)      The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
submits, for itself and its property, to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the
United States District Court of the Middle District of Florida, and of any state
court of the State of Florida and any appellate court from any thereof, in any
action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or for
recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any
such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Florida state
court or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Federal court. Each of
the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding
shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the
judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or
any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent,
the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or
proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the
Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

                  (c)      The Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally waives
any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any
such suit, action or proceeding described in paragraph (b) of this Section 10.5
                                                                   ------------

                                                              ------------
of the parties hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such
action or proceeding in any such court.

                  (d)      Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to
the service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.1.
Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document will affect the right of
any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

                  Section 10.6      Waiver Of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO
                                    --------------------

IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY
ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER
THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR
ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH
OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING
WAIVER, AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN
INDUCED TO ENTER

INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE
MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.6.
                                          ------------

                  Section 10.7      Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights
                                    ---------------
now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of
any such rights, each Lender and the Issuing Bank shall have the right, at any
time or from time to time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being
expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, to
set off and apply against all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final) of the Borrower at any time held or other obligations at
any time owing by such Lender and the Issuing Bank to or for the credit or the
account of the Borrower against any and all Obligations held by such Lender or
the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, irrespective of whether such Lender or the
Issuing Bank shall have made demand hereunder and although such Obligations may
be unmatured. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank agree promptly to notify the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower after any such set-off and any application
made by such Lender and the Issuing Bank, as the case may be; provided, that the
failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and
application.

                  Section 10.8      Counterparts; Effectiveness of Agreement;
                                    ----------------------------------------
Integration. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to
-----------
this Agreement in any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy),
and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one
and the same instrument. Notwithstanding execution of this Agreement by the
Borrower and each of the Lenders party hereto and satisfaction (or waiver) of
each of the conditions set forth in Section 3.1, this Agreement shall not be or
become effective and binding upon the parties until executed and accepted by the
Administrative Agent in its capacity as such on behalf of the Lenders. This
Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreement(s)
relating to any fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire
agreement among the parties hereto and thereto regarding the subject matters
hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral
or written, regarding such subject matters.

                  Section 10.9      Survival. All covenants, agreements,
                                    --------
representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the
certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to
this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties
hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any
investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding
that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had
notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at
the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and
effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any
fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid
or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not
expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.17, 2.18, 2.19, and 10.3
and Article IX shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the
Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the
Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. All
representations and warranties made herein, in the certificates, reports,
notices, and other documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive
the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and
the making of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit.

                  Section 10.10     Severability. Any provision of this
                                    ------------
Agreement or any other Loan Document held to be illegal, invalid or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction, shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability
without affecting the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining
provisions hereof or thereof; and the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability
of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or
render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

                  Section 10.11     Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative
                                    ---------------
Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender agrees to take normal and reasonable
precautions to maintain the confidentiality of any information designated in
writing as confidential and provided to it by the Borrower or any Subsidiary,
except that, subject to taking such normal and reasonable precautions to
maintain the confidentiality thereof, such information may be disclosed by the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and any Lender (i) to any Related Party
of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any such Lender, including
without limitation accountants, legal counsel and other advisors, provided, that
                                                                  --------
such Related Party agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 10.11,
                                                                -------------

to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or
similar legal process, (iii) to the extent requested by any regulatory agency or
authority, (iv) to the extent that such information becomes publicly available
other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.11, or which becomes
                                           -------------
available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender or any
Related Party of any of the foregoing on a nonconfidential basis from a source
other than the Borrower, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedy
hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the
enforcement of rights hereunder, and (vi) subject to provisions substantially
similar to this Section 10.11, to any actual or prospective assignee or
                -------------
Participant, or (vii) with the consent of the Borrower. Any Person required to
maintain the confidentiality of any information as provided for in this Section
                                                                        -------
10.11 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such
-----
Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of
such information as such Person would accord its own confidential information.

                  Section 10.12     Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding
                                    ------------------------
anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to
any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which may be treated
as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively, the "Charges"),
shall exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest (the "Maximum Rate") which may
be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by a Lender holding such
Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect
of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof,
shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and
Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not
payable as a result of the operation of this Section 10.12 shall be cumulated
                                             -------------
and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or
periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such
cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate to
the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.
