     (b) If no election as to the Type of Revolving Borrowing is specified for a
Revolving Borrowing in Dollars, then the requested Revolving Borrowing shall be
an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any
requested Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to
have selected an Interest Period of one month's duration. If no currency is
specified, the requested Borrowing shall be in Dollars. In making any
determination of the Dollar Amount for purposes of calculating the amount of
Revolving Loans to be borrowed from the respective Lenders on any date, the
Administrative Agent shall use the relevant Exchange Rate in effect on the date
on which the Borrower delivers a borrowing request for such Revolving Loans

Administrative Agent, in the case of any Loan denominated in an Alternative
Currency, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by

such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so
received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower maintained with the
Administrative Agent in New York City.

     (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a
Lender prior to the proposed time of any Borrowing 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
share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section
and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a
corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share
of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the
applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative
Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for
each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the
Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at

accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation in the relevant
currency or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to
such Loans in the case of a Loan in Dollars or the applicable LIBO Rate in the
case of a Loan in an Alternative Currency. If such Lender pays such amount to
the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender's Loan
included in such Borrowing.

     SECTION 2.06. INTEREST ELECTIONS. (a) Each Borrowing denominated in Dollars
initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable borrowing request,
and each Eurocurrency Borrowing in Dollars or an Alternative Currency shall have
an initial Interest Period as specified in such borrowing request. Thereafter,
the Borrower may elect to convert any Borrowing denominated in Dollars of any
Class to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing as the same Type and may
elect successive Interest Periods for any Eurocurrency Borrowing in Dollars or
an Alternative Currency, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect
different Types or Interest Periods, as applicable, with respect to different
portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be
allocated ratably among the relevant Lenders holding the Loans comprising the
relevant portion of such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion
shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

     (b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify
the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a
request for a Revolving Borrowing would be required under Section 2.04, if the
Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to
be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest
Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly in
writing.

     (c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify (i)
the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different
options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the
portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the
information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be
specified for each resulting Borrowing), (ii) the effective date of the election
made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day,
(iii) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars, whether the resulting
Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing, and (iv) if the
resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period to be
applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period
contemplated by the definition of the term "Interest Period". If any such
Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing but does not specify
an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an
Interest Period of one month's duration.

     (d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the
Administrative Agent shall advise each relevant Lender of the details thereof
and of such Lender's portion of each resulting Borrowing.

     (e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request
with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period
applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at
the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be continued as such for an
Interest Period of one month. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent,
at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long
as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing in Dollars may
be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid,
each Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be converted to an ABR
Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (iii) each
Eurocurrency Borrowing in an Alternative Currency shall be continued as such for
an Interest Period of not more than one month.

PROVIDED that no such termination or reduction of Dollar Revolving Commitments
or Multicurrency Revolving Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving
effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Dollar Revolving Loans or
Multicurrency Revolving Loans, as the case may be, made on the effective date
thereof, the Total Dollar Revolving Loans would exceed the Total Dollar
Revolving Commitments or the Total Multicurrency Revolving Loans would exceed

termination or reduction of Dollar Delayed Draw Term Commitments or
Multicurrency Delayed Draw Term Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving
effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Dollar Delayed Draw Term Loans or
Multicurrency Delayed Draw Term Loans, as the case may be, made on the effective
date thereof, the Total Dollar Delayed Draw Term Loans would exceed the Total
Dollar Delayed Draw Term Commitments or the Total Multicurrency Delayed Draw
Term Loans would exceed the Total Multicurrency Delayed Draw Term Commitments,
as the case may

                                       21
<Page>

be. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000, or a whole
multiple thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Dollar Delayed Draw Term
Commitments or Multicurrency Delayed Draw Term Commitments, as applicable, then
in effect.

     SECTION 2.08. REPAYMENT OF LOANS; EVIDENCE OF DEBT. (a) The Borrower shall
repay all outstanding Tranche A Term Loans on the Tranche A Term Maturity Date.

     (b) The Borrower shall repay all outstanding Delayed Draw Term Loans on the
Delayed Draw Term Maturity Date.

     (c) The Borrower shall repay the then unpaid principal amount of each
Revolving Loan on the Revolving Termination Date.

     (d) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an
account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender
resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal
and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

     (e) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall
record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the currency, Class and Type
thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any
principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the
Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by
the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the relevant Lenders and
each relevant Lender's share thereof.

     (f) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (d)
or (e) of this Section shall be PRIMA FACIE evidence of the existence and
amounts of the obligations recorded therein; PROVIDED that the failure of any
Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error
therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay
the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

     SECTION 2.09. PREPAYMENTS. (a) The Borrower may at any time and from time
to time prepay Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon
irrevocable notice delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00
noon, New York City time (or in the case of an Alternative Currency, the
Applicable Time), not less than three Business Days prior thereto, in the case
of Eurocurrency Loans, and no later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the
date of such notice, in the case of ABR Loans, which notice shall specify the
date and amount of prepayment and the Loans to be prepaid; PROVIDED, that if a
Eurocurrency Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest
Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing
pursuant to Section 2.14. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is
given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date
specified therein, together with (except in the case of Revolving Loans that are
ABR Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial
prepayments of Eurocurrency Loans shall be in an aggregate amount that is an
integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000 (or comparable
amounts determined by the Administrative Agent in the case of Alternative
Currency), and partial prepayments of ABR Loans shall be in an aggregate amount
that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000.
Optional prepayments of Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

     (b) If on the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Borrower for any reason
the sum of the Dollar Amount of Total Multicurrency Revolving Loans exceeds the
Total Multicurrency Revolving Commitments by more than 5%, the Borrower shall
upon learning thereof, or upon the request of the

                                       22
<Page>

Administrative Agent, immediately prepay the Multicurrency Revolving Loans in an
aggregate principal amount at least equal to the amount of such excess.

     (c) If on the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Borrower for any reason
the sum of the Dollar Amount of Total Multicurrency Delayed Draw Term Loans
exceeds the Total Multicurrency Delayed Draw Term Commitments (or, if the
Multicurrency Delayed Draw Term Commitments have terminated, the Total
Multicurrency Delayed Draw Term Commitments in effect immediately prior to such
termination) by more than 5%, the Borrower shall upon learning thereof, or upon
the request of the Administrative Agent, immediately prepay the Dollar Delayed
Draw Loans or Multicurrency Delayed Draw Term Loans, as applicable, in an
aggregate principal amount at least equal to the amount of such excess.

     SECTION 2.10. FEES. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee in dollars for
the period from and including the Closing Date to the last day of the Revolving
Commitment Period, computed at the applicable Commitment Fee Rate on the average
daily amount of the Available Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the
period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on each Revolving
Fee Payment Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date
hereof.

     (b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account
of each Delayed Draw Term Lender a commitment fee for the period from and
including the Closing Date to the last day of the Delayed Draw Term Commitment
Period, computed at the applicable Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily
amount of the Available Delayed Draw Term Commitment of such Lender during the
period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on each Delayed
Draw Term Fee Payment Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the
date hereof.

     (c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the
amounts and on the dates as set forth in any fee agreements with the
Administrative Agent and to perform any other obligations contained therein.

     (d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in
immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, in
the case of commitment fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable
under any circumstances. All per annum fees shall be computed on the basis of a
year of 365/366 days for actual days elapsed; PROVIDED that, commitment fees
shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days.

     SECTION 2.11. INTEREST. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall
bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

     (b) The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing in any currency shall
bear interest at the LIBO Rate for such currency for the Interest Period in
effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

     (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any
Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid
when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such
overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate
per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the
rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs
of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate
applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section (in the
case of such other amount in Dollars) or 2% plus the daily weighted average rate
of all Loans in the relevant Alternative Currency (in the case of any such other
amount in such Alternative Currency).

                                       23
<Page>

     (d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each
Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in addition, in the case of Revolving
Loans, upon termination of the Commitments; PROVIDED that (i) interest accrued
pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in
the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of
an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Revolving Commitment Period),
accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on
the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any
conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan prior to the end of the current Interest
Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective
date of such conversion.

     (e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360
days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at
times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate and Eurocurrency
Loans in Sterling shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366
days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of
days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The
applicable Alternate Base Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the
Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest
error.

     SECTION 2.12. ALTERNATE RATE OF INTEREST. If prior to the commencement of
any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing:

     (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be
conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not
exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or

     (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the
LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the
cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its
Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the
Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and,
until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the
circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest
Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or
continuation of any Borrowing in Dollars as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be
ineffective and the Loans shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing and (ii) if any
Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing, such Borrowing, if
denominated in Dollars, shall be made as an ABR Borrowing, and if such borrowing
request requests a Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency or if any
Interest Election Request requests the continuation of a Eurocurrency Borrowing
in an Alternate Currency, such Borrowing or continuation shall be made or
continued as a Borrowing bearing interest at an interest rate reasonably
determined by the Administrative Agent, after consultation with the Borrower and
the applicable Lenders, to compensate the applicable Lenders for such Borrowing
in such currency for the applicable period plus the Applicable Rate; provided
that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only Borrowings in
one currency, then Borrowings in other currencies will not be affected by the
provisions of this Section.

     SECTION 2.13. INCREASED COSTS. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

          (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or
     similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of,
     or credit extended by, any Lender (including any reserve for eurocurrency
     funding that may be established or reestablished under Regulation D of the
     Board); or

                                       24
<Page>

          (ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other
     condition affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans made by such
     Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such
Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan (or of maintaining its
obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or
receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or
otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or
reduction suffered.

     (b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital
requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such
Lender's capital or on the capital of such Lender's holding company, if any, as
a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender to a level
below that which such Lender or such Lender's holding company could have
achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's
policies and the policies of such Lender's holding company with respect to
capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such
Lender's holding company for any such reduction suffered.

     (c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary
to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as
specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the
Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay
such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after
receipt thereof.

     (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation
pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's right to
demand such compensation; PROVIDED that the Borrower shall not be required to
compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or
reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender
notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs
or reductions and of such Lender's intention to claim compensation therefor;
PROVIDED FURTHER that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs
or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be
extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

     SECTION 2.14. BREAK FUNDING PAYMENTS. In the event of (a) the payment of
any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest
Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b)
the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the
Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue
or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered
pursuant hereto or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the
last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by
the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.17, then, in any such event, the Borrower
shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such
event. In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any
Lender shall be deemed to be an amount determined by such Lender to be the
excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the
principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the LIBO Rate that
would have been applicable to such 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 Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which
would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which
such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for
deposits in the relevant currency of a comparable amount and period from other
banks in the eurocurrency market (but not less than the available LIBO rate
quoted for the LIBO interest period equal to the period from the date of such
event to the last day of the then current

                                       25
<Page>

Interest Period, or if there is no such LIBO interest period, the lower of the
LIBO rates quoted for the closest LIBO interest periods that are longer and
shorter than such period). A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount
or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section
shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such
certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

     SECTION 2.15. 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) the Administrative Agent or Lender
(as the case may be) receives 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 and each Lender,
within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such
Lender, 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) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom
or with respect thereto (excluding penalties and interest attributable to
actions or omissions of the Administrative Agent or such Lender), 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 by the
Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall be entitled to contest with
the relevant Governmental Authority, pursuant to applicable law and at its own
expense, any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes that it is ultimately obligated to
pay, and the Administrative Agent or Lender shall reasonably cooperate with any
such contest. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative
Agent or Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information
relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other
Person. The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall give prompt notice of any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on it, PROVIDED HOWEVER
that the Administrative Agent or such Lender's failure to give such prompt
notice to the Borrower shall not constitute a defense to any claim for
indemnification by the Administrative Agent's or such Lender unless, and only to
the extent that, such failure materially prejudices the Borrower.

     (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 a copy, or if reasonably available to the Borrower 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
any 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,

                                       26
<Page>

such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law
or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will
permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. In
addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation (including without
limitation, Internal Revenue Service documentation such as a W8BEN or a W8ECI
tax form) reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to
determine whether such Lender is subject to withholding or information reporting
requirements.

     (f) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole
discretion, that it has received a refund of or credit against any Taxes or
Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect
to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15,
it shall pay over such refund or credit to the Borrower (but only to the extent
of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under
this Section 2.15 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such
refund or credit, and, with respect to a credit, only to the extent that such
credit actually reduces the Taxes otherwise payable by such Lender or
Administrative Agent for any completed year, with the determination of the
extent to which such credit actually reduces the Taxes otherwise payable by such
Lender or Administrative Agent to be made in the reasonable determination of
such Administrative Agent or Lender), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other
than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to
such refund or credit); PROVIDED, that the Borrower, upon the request of the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the
Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant
Governmental Authority (but excluding any penalties, interest or other charges
attributable to actions or omissions of the Administrative Agent or such
Lender)) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the
Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund or credit
to such Governmental Authority. The Administrative Agent and each Lender will
pursue any such refund or credit against Taxes or Other Taxes if the
Administrative Agent or such Lender reasonably determines that it is likely to
receive such refund or credit. This Section shall not be construed to require
the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any
other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the
Borrower or any other Person.

     SECTION 2.16. PRO RATA TREATMENT AND PAYMENTS. (a) Each borrowing by the
Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of
any commitment fee and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders under any
Facility shall be made PRO RATA according to the respective Commitment of such
Facility then held by the relevant Lenders under such Facility.

     (b) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of
principal of and interest (i) on the Tranche A Term Loans shall be made PRO RATA
according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Tranche A Term
Loans then held by the Tranche A Term Lenders, (ii) on the Dollar Delayed Draw
Term Loans shall be made PRO RATA according to the respective outstanding
principal amounts of the Dollar Delayed Draw Term Loans then held by the Dollar
Delayed Draw Term Lenders and (iii) on the Multicurrency Delayed Draw Term Loans
shall be made PRO RATA according to the respective outstanding principal amounts
of the Multicurrency Delayed Draw Term Loans then held by the Multicurrency
Delayed Draw Term Lenders. Amounts prepaid on account of the Term Loans may not
be reborrowed.

     (c) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of
principal of and interest (i) on the Dollar Revolving Loans shall be made PRO
RATA according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Dollar
Revolving Loans then held by the Dollar Revolving Lenders and (ii) on the
Multicurrency Revolving Loans shall be made PRO RATA according to the

                                       27
<Page>

respective outstanding principal amounts of the Multicurrency Revolving Loans
then held by the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders.

     (d) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower
hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall
be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 noon,
New York City time (or as specified in the next sentence in the case of Loans in
an Alternative Currency), on the date when due. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder with respect to
principal and interest on Loans in an Alternative Currency shall be made on the
dates specified herein for the pro rata account of the relevant Lenders to which
such payment is owed, in such Alternative Currency and in immediately available
funds not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent
to the Borrower by the same time at least one Business Day prior to the date
when due. All payments received by the Administrative Agent (i) after 12:00
noon, New York City time, in the case of payments in Dollars, or (ii) after the
Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent in the case of payments in
an Alternative Currency, 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 its offices at 1111 Fannin Street, Houston, Texas,
except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.03 shall be
made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall
distribute such payments to the relevant Lenders promptly upon receipt in like
funds as received. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day
other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding
Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal, interest
thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

     (e) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the
Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, 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 then due hereunder, ratably among
the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then
due to such parties. To the extent necessary, the Administrative Agent shall
enter into foreign currency exchange transactions on customary terms to effect
any such ratable payment and the payments made by the Administrative Agent
following such transactions shall be deemed to be payments made by or on behalf
of the Borrower hereunder.

     (f) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim
or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any
of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion
of the aggregate amount of its 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 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 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 to any assignee or participant.

     SECTION 2.17. MITIGATION OBLIGATIONS; REPLACEMENT OF LENDERS. (a) If any
Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, 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 2.15, then

                                       28
<Page>

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 judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate
or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.15, 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 reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in
connection with any such designation or assignment.

     (b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, 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 2.15,
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 contained in
Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to
an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another
Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); PROVIDED that (i) the Borrower
shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which
consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received
payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued
interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder,
from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued
interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii)
in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 2.13 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15, 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.

     (c) If any Lender (such Lender, a "NON-CONSENTING LENDER") has failed to
consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination which pursuant
to the terms of Section 9.02 requires the consent of all of the Lenders affected
and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent,
then the Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants
such consent) to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such
Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans, and its Commitments hereunder to one
or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, PROVIDED
that: (a) all amounts owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced (other
than principal and interest) shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender
concurrently with such assignment, and (b) the replacement Lender shall purchase
the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the
principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. In connection
with any such assignment the Borrower, Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting

     The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders that:

authority to carry on its business as now conducted and, except where the

     SECTION 3.02. AUTHORIZATION; ENFORCEABILITY. The Transactions (excluding
use of proceeds) are within the Borrower's corporate powers and have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate and, if required, stockholder action. This
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and constitutes a
legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable in accordance
with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other laws affecting creditors' rights generally and subject to
general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding
in equity or at law.

     SECTION 3.03. GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS; NO CONFLICTS. The Transactions
(excluding use of proceeds) (a) do not require any consent or approval of,
registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority,
except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and 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 Material
Subsidiaries or any order of any Governmental Authority, (c) will not violate or
result in a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding
upon the Borrower or any of its Material Subsidiaries or its assets, or give
rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Borrower or
any of its Material Subsidiaries, and (d) will not result in the creation or
imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Borrower or any of its Material
Subsidiaries.

     SECTION 3.04. FINANCIAL POSITION. The Borrower has heretofore furnished to
the Lenders its consolidated balance sheet and statements of income,
stockholders' equity and cash flows as of and for (A) the fiscal years ended
December 31, 2004 and 2003 reported on by KPMG, independent public accountants
and (B) the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Such financial statements
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and results of
operations and cash flows of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as
of such dates and for such periods in accordance with GAAP, subject to year-end
audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes in the case of the statements
referred to in clause (B) above.

     SECTION 3.05. PROPERTIES. (a) Each of the Borrower and its Material
Subsidiaries has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its real
and personal property material to its business, except for minor defects in
title that do not interfere with its ability to conduct its business as
currently conducted or to utilize such properties for their intended purposes or
as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect.

     (b) Each of the Borrower and its Material Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed
to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual
property used by such entities, and the use thereof by the Borrower and its
Material Subsidiaries does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person,
except for any such intellectual property or infringements that, individually or
in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect.

     SECTION 3.06. LITIGATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS. (a) There are no
actions, suits or proceedings (including labor matters) by or before any
arbitrator or Governmental Authority 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 and that, if adversely determined, would reasonably be expected,
individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect (other
than the Disclosed Matters) or (ii) that involve this Agreement or the
Transactions (excluding use of proceeds).

     (b) Except for the Disclosed Matters and except with respect to any other
matters that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected
to result in a Material Adverse Effect, neither the Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental

                                       30
<Page>

Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval
required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any
Environmental Liability, (iii) has received notice of any claim with respect to
any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any basis for any Environmental
Liability.

     (c) Since the date of this Agreement, there has been no change in the
status of the Disclosed Matters that, individually or in the aggregate, has
resulted in, or would reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse
Effect.

     SECTION 3.07. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND AGREEMENTS. Each of the Borrower and
its Material Subsidiaries is in compliance with all laws, regulations and orders
(including labor laws, regulations and orders) of any Governmental Authority
applicable to it or its property and all indentures, agreements and other
instruments binding upon it or its property, except where the failure to do so,
individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in
a Material Adverse Effect. No Default has occurred and is continuing.

     SECTION 3.08. INVESTMENT AND HOLDING COMPANY STATUS. Neither the Borrower
nor any of its Subsidiaries is (a) an "investment company" as defined in, or
subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940 or (b) a
"holding company" as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Public
Utility Holding Company Act of 1935.

     SECTION 3.09. TAXES. Each of the Borrower and its Material Subsidiaries has
timely filed or caused to be filed all Tax returns and reports required to have
been filed and has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes required to have been
paid by it, except (a) Taxes that are being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings and for which the Borrower or such Material Subsidiary,
as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves or (b) to the extent
that the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect.

     SECTION 3.10. ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected
to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which
liability is reasonably expected to occur, would reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all accumulated
benefit obligations under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes
of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date
of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair
market value of the assets of such Plan by an amount which, if it were to become
due, would cause a Material Adverse Effect, and the present value of all
accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on the
assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting
such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded
Plans by an amount which, if it were to become due, would cause a Material
Adverse Effect.

     SECTION 3.11. DISCLOSURE. To the best of the Borrower's knowledge, as of
the Closing Date, neither the Information Memorandum nor any of the other
reports, financial statements, certificates or other information furnished by or
on behalf of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in
connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder (as
modified or supplemented by other information so furnished), taken as a whole,
contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact
necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading; PROVIDED that, with respect to
projected financial information, the Borrower represents only that such
information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be
reasonable at the time.

finance the working capital needs and general corporate purposes of the Borrower

                            THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

     SECTION 8.01. APPOINTMENT AND AUTHORIZATION. Each of the Lenders hereby
irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the
Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such
powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof,
together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

     SECTION 8.02. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND AFFILIATES. The bank serving as the
Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its
capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it
were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept
deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with
the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the
Administrative Agent hereunder.

     SECTION 8.03. ACTION BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. The Administrative Agent
shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth
herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative
Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless
of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative
Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any
discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly
contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in
writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage
of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in
Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative
Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the
failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as
Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The
Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it
with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number
or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as
provided in Section 9.02) or otherwise, in the absence of its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not
to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is
given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the
Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain
or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in
connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or
other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the
performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or
conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or
genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or
(v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere
herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be
delivered to the Administrative Agent.

     SECTION 8.04. CONSULTATION WITH EXPERTS. The Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any
notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other
writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the
proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to
it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person,
and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent
may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower),
independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be
liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of
any such counsel, accountants or experts.

                                       40

     SECTION 8.05. DELEGATION OF DUTIES. The Administrative Agent may perform
any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one
or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative
Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its
rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory
provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to
the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and
shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of
the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as
Administrative Agent.

     SECTION 8.06. SUCCESSOR ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. Subject to the appointment
and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this
paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the
Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall
have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no
successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have
accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent
gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on
behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a
bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank.
Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a
successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and
the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor
Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor
unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the
Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and
Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring
Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in
respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was
acting as Administrative Agent.

     SECTION 8.07. CREDIT DECISION. Each Lender acknowledges that it has,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other
Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate,
made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each
Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon
the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and
information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its
own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement,
any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

     SECTION 8.08. THE ARRANGERS; THE SYNDICATION AGENT. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, none of the Joint Lead Arrangers or the
Syndication Agent shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under the
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as
applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender.

Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other
communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to
procedures approved by it, PROVIDED that approval of such procedures may be
limited to particular notices or communications.

     SECTION 9.02. WAIVERS; AMENDMENTS. (a) No failure or delay by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder
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

                                       42
<Page>

steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not
exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of
any provision of this Agreement 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, 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 shall not
be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the
Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such
Default at the time.

     (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended
or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered
into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; PROVIDED that no
such agreement shall (i) increase the Dollar Revolving Commitment, Multicurrency
Revolving Commitment, Dollar Delayed Draw Term Commitment, Multicurrency Delayed
Draw Term Commitment or Tranche A Term Commitment of any Lender without the
written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or
reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder,
without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (iii)
postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or
any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of,
waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration
of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected
thereby, (iv) change Section 2.16 in a manner that would alter the pro rata
distribution or sharing of payments required thereby or any provision requiring
the pro rata funding of Loans, without the written consent of each Lender, or
(v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of "Required
Lenders" or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of
Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any
determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of
each Lender; PROVIDED FURTHER that no such agreement shall amend, modify or
otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder
without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

     SECTION 9.03. EXPENSES; INDEMNITY; DAMAGE WAIVER. (a) The Borrower shall
pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative
Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and
disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the
administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of
the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby shall be consummated) and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, including the fees, charges
and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in
connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with
this Agreement, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with
the Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred
during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.

     (b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender,
and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being
called an "INDEMNITEE") against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and
all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the
reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee,
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
agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties
hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the
Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or the
use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release
of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental

                                       43
<Page>

Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (iv)
any civil penalty or fine assessed by OFAC against, and all reasonable costs and
expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with
defense thereof, by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of
conduct of the Borrower that violates a sanction enforced by OFAC or (v) 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 such
indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (i) are determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have
resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or
(ii) arise from a breach of this Agreement by such Indemnitee. Each Indemnitee
shall give prompt notice to the Borrower of any claim that may give rise to a
claim against the Borrower hereunder and shall consult with the Borrower in the
conduct of such Indemnitee's legal defense of such claim; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
than an Indemnitee's failure to give such prompt notice to the Borrower or to
seek such consultation with the Borrower shall not constitute a defense to any
claim for indemnification by such Indemnitee unless, and only to the extent
that, such failure materially prejudices the Borrower.

     (c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be
paid by it to the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this
Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such
Lender's Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable
unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount;
PROVIDED that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage,
liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted
against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such.

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

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

     SECTION 9.04. 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 permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower
may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations 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) and
(ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations
hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement,
expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than
the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby,
Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to
the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or
claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

     (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any
Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments
and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of:

          (A) the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, except
     for certain institutions (and affiliates of such institutions) previously
     identified by the Borrower to the

                                       44
<Page>

     Administrative Agent (the "RESTRICTED LIST"), the identities of which are
     available to the Lenders upon request to the Administrative Agent),
     PROVIDED that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an
     assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if
     an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Article VII has
     occurred and is continuing, any other assignee (except for institutions
     (and affiliates of such institutions) on the Restricted List), and PROVIDED
     FURTHER, that if the Borrower consents to an assignment to any institution
     (or affiliate of such institution) on the Restricted List, such institution
     shall be permanently removed from the Restricted List; and

          (B) the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably
     withheld), PROVIDED that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be
     required for an assignment of any Commitment or Loan to an assignee that is
     a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

     (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

          (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of
     a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning
     Lender's Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitments or
     Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined
     as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such
     assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than
     $10,000,000 or, in the case of a Term Loan, $5,000,000 (or, in the case of
     a Loan in an Alternative Currency, an appropriate corresponding amount as
     shall be consented to by the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be
     unreasonably withheld)), unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative
     Agent otherwise consent, PROVIDED that no such consent of the Borrower
     shall be required if an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i)
     of Article VII has occurred and is continuing;

          (B) 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, PROVIDED that this clause shall not be construed to
     prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning
     Lender's rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or
     Loans;

          (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
     Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a
     processing and recordation fee of $3,500; and

          (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the
     Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

     For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term "APPROVED FUND" means
any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing,
holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the
ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a
Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an
entity that administers or manages a Lender.

     (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph
(b)(v) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each
Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and,
to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have
the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning
Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering

                                       45
<Page>

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 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a
Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with
this Section 9.04 shall be null and void.

     (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the
Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and
Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and
addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the
Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the
"REGISTER"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower,
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is
recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for
all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The
Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at
any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

     (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption with
respect to a permitted assignment executed by an assigning Lender and an
assignee, the assignee's completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the
assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation
fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such
assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent
shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained
therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this
Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this
paragraph.

     (c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, 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 Commitments and the
Loans owing to it); PROVIDED that (A) such Lender's obligations under this
Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations
and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or
instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide
that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to
approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement; PROVIDED that such agreement or instrument may provide that such
Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment,
modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that
affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the
Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had
acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section.

     (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment
under Section 2.13 or 2.15 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled
to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless
the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower's
prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a
Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15 unless the Borrower
is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant
agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.15(e) as
though it were a Lender.

     (d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all
or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such
Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure
obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section

                                       46
<Page>

shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest;
PROVIDED that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release
a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or
assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

     SECTION 9.05. 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, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its
behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent 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 and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The
provisions of Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.03 and Article VIII 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 Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any
provision hereof.

     SECTION 9.06. COUNTERPARTS; INTEGRATION; EFFECTIVENESS. This Agreement may
be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different
counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when
taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and any
separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative
Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject
matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings,
oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in
Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been
executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall
have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the
signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page
of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually
executed counterpart of this Agreement.

     SECTION 9.07. SEVERABILITY. Any provision of this Agreement held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in
a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other
jurisdiction.

     SECTION 9.08. RIGHT OF SETOFF. If an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized
at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to
set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing
by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower
against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing
under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such
Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such
obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are
in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff)
which such Lender may have.

     SECTION 9.09. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; CONSENT TO SERVICE OF PROCESS.
(a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law
of the State of New York.

                                       47

     (b) Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself
and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the
State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District
Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any
thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement, 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 New
York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in 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 shall
affect any right that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or
proceeding relating to this Agreement against any other party or their
respective properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

     (c) Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the
fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may
now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in
paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by 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 service of process
in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement
will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any
other manner permitted by law.

     SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY
JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING
TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (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 TO IT,
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 BY,
AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

     SECTION 9.11. HEADINGS. Article and Section headings and the Table of
Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this
Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into
consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

     SECTION 9.12. CONFIDENTIALITY. Each of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined
below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates'
directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel
and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure
is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and
instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested
by any regulatory or self-regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by
applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d)
to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any
remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement
or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing
provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee
of or

                                       48
<Page>

Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its
rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective
counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to
the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to
the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a
result of a breach of this Section or an agreement described in clause (f)
hereof or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a
nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For the purposes of
this Section, "INFORMATION" means all information received from the Borrower or
its Affiliates relating to the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or their businesses,
other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or
any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or its
Affiliates. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information
as provided in this Section 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 reasonably
accord to its own confidential information.

     SECTION 9.13. JUDGMENT CURRENCY. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment
or filing a claim in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder
or claim in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall
be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative
Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business
Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the
Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or
the Lenders hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the
"JUDGMENT CURRENCY") other than that in which such sum is denominated in
accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the "AGREEMENT
CURRENCY"), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following
receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the
Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal
banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency.
If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum
originally due to the Administrative Agent from the Borrower in the Agreement
Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any
such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such
obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency
so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent
in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any
excess to the Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under
applicable law).

     SECTION 9.14. USA PATRIOT ACT. Each Lender subject to the Act hereby
notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act
(Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the "Act"), it
is hereby required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the
Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and
other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in
accordance with the Act.

     Agreement that do not otherwise become exercisable as a result of rounding
     shall become exercisable on __________, 20___. Notwithstanding the

     otherwise become exercisable is not a Business Day, such L Options will
     become exercisable on the Business Day next following such date, (ii) all L
     Options will become exercisable on the date of the Grantee's termination of
     employment if (A) the Grantee's employment with the Company and its
     Subsidiaries terminates by reason of Disability or (B) the Grantee dies
     while employed by the Company or a Subsidiary, and (iii) if the Grantee's
     employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries is terminated by the
     Company or a Subsidiary without Cause, any L Options that otherwise would
     become exercisable during the remainder of the calendar year in which the
     Grantee's employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries is terminated
     will become exercisable on the date of the Grantee's termination of
     employment.

     (b) To the extent the L Options become exercisable, such L Options may be
     exercised in whole or in part (at any time or from time to time, except as
     otherwise provided herein) until expiration of the Term or earlier
     termination thereof.

     (c) The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Committee, in its
     discretion and as contemplated by Section 3.3 of the Plan, may adopt rules
     and regulations from time to time after the date hereof with respect to the
     exercise of the L Options and that the exercise by the Grantee of L Options
     will be subject to the further condition that such exercise is made in
     accordance with all such rules and regulations as the Committee may
     determine are applicable thereto.

     4. MANNER OF EXERCISE. L Options will be considered exercised (as to the
number of L Options specified in the notice referred to in Section 4(a) below)
on the latest of (i) the date of exercise designated in the written notice
referred to in Section 4(a) below, (ii) if the date so designated is not a
Business Day, the first Business Day following such date or (iii) the earliest
Business Day by which the Company has received all of the following:

     (a) Written notice, in such form as the Committee may require, containing
     such representations and warranties as the Committee may require and
     designating, among other things, the date of exercise and the number of
     shares of L Stock ("Option Shares") to be purchased;

     (b) Payment of the Base Price for each Option Share to be purchased in any
     (or a combination) of the following forms: (A) cash, (B) check or (C) the
     delivery, together with a properly executed exercise notice, of irrevocable
     instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of
     sale or loan proceeds required to pay the

                                       3
<Page>

     purchase price (and, if applicable the Required Withholding Amount, as
     described in Section 5 below); and

     (c) Any other documentation that the Committee may reasonably require.

     5. MANDATORY WITHHOLDING FOR TAXES. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees
that the Company will deduct from the shares of L Stock otherwise payable or
deliverable upon exercise of any L Options that number of shares of L Stock
(valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise) that is equal to the
amount of all federal, state and local taxes required to be withheld by the
Company upon such exercise, as determined by the Committee (the "Required
Withholding Amount"). If the Grantee elects to make payment of the Base Price by
delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the
Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds required to pay the purchase price,
such instructions may also include instructions to deliver the Required
Withholding Amount to the Company. In such case, the Company will notify the
broker promptly of the Committee's determination of the Required Withholding
Amount.

     6. PAYMENT OR DELIVERY BY THE COMPANY. As soon as practicable after receipt
of all items referred to in Section 4, and subject to the withholding referred
to in Section 5, the Company will deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Grantee certificates issued in the Grantee's name for the number of shares of L
Stock purchased by exercise of L Options, and (ii) any cash payment to which the
Grantee is entitled in lieu of a fractional share of L Stock, as provided in
Section 2 above. Any delivery of shares of L Stock will be deemed effected for
all purposes when certificates representing such shares have been delivered
personally to the Grantee or, if delivery is by mail, when the stock transfer
agent of the Company has deposited the certificates in the United States mail,
addressed to the Grantee, and any cash payment will be deemed effected when a
check from the Company, payable to the Grantee and in the amount equal to the
amount of the cash payment, has been delivered personally to the Grantee or
deposited in the United States mail, addressed to the Grantee.

     7. EARLY TERMINATION OF L OPTIONS. The L Options will terminate, prior to
the expiration of the Term, at the time specified below:

     (a) Subject to Section 7(b), if the Grantee's employment with the Company
     and its Subsidiaries is terminated other than (i) by the Company or a
     Subsidiary (whether for Cause or without Cause) or (ii) by reason of death
     or Disability, then the L Options will terminate at the Close of Business
     on the first Business Day following the expiration of the 90-day period
     which began on the date of termination of the Grantee's employment.

     (b) If the Grantee dies (i) while employed by the Company or a Subsidiary,
     or prior to the expiration of a period of time following termination of the
     Grantee's employment during which the L Options remain exercisable as
     provided in Section 7(a) or Section 7(c), as applicable, the L Options will
     terminate at the Close of Business on the first Business Day following the
     expiration of the one-year period which began on the date of the Grantee's
     death, or (ii) prior to the expiration of a period of time following
     termination of the Grantee's employment during which the L Options remain
     exercisable as provided in Section 7(d), the L Options will terminate at
     the Close of Business on the

                                       4
<Page>

     first Business Day following the expiration of (A) the one-year period
     which began on the date of the Grantee's death or (B) the Special
     Termination Period, whichever period is longer.

     (c) Subject to Section 7(b), if the Grantee's employment with the Company
     and its Subsidiaries terminates by reason of Disability, then the L Options
     will terminate at the Close of Business on the first Business Day following
     the expiration of the one-year period which began on the date of
     termination of the Grantee's employment.

     (d) If the Grantee's employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries is
     terminated by the Company or a Subsidiary without Cause, the L Options will
     terminate at the Close of Business on the first Business Day following the
     expiration of the Special Termination Period. The Special Termination
     Period is the period of time beginning on the date of the Grantee's
     termination of employment and continuing for the number of days that is
     equal to the sum of (a) 90, plus (b) 180 multiplied by the Grantee's total
     Years of Continuous Service. A Year of Continuous Service means a
     consecutive 12-month period, measured by the Grantee's hire date (as
     reflected in the payroll records of the Company or a Subsidiary) and the
     anniversaries of that date, during which the Grantee is employed by the
     Company or a Subsidiary without interruption. For purposes of determining
     the Grantee's Years of Continuous Service, Grantee's employment with the
     Company's former parent, AT&T Broadband LLC, formerly known as
     Tele-Communications, Inc. ("TCI"), and any predecessor of the Company or
     TCI will be included, provided that the Grantee's hire date with the
     Company or a Subsidiary occurred within 30 days following the Grantee's
     termination of employment with TCI or such predecessor. If the Grantee was
     employed by a Subsidiary at the time of such Subsidiary's acquisition by
     the Company, the Grantee's employment with the Subsidiary prior to the
     acquisition date will be included in determining the Grantee's Years of
     Continuous Service unless the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines
     that such prior employment will be excluded.

     (e) If the Grantee's employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries is
     terminated by the Company for Cause, then the L Options will terminate
     immediately upon such termination of the Grantee's employment.

     In any event in which L Options remain exercisable for a period of time
following the date of termination of the Grantee's employment as provided above,
the L Options may be exercised during such period of time only to the extent the
same were exercisable as provided in Section 3 above on such date of termination
of the Grantee's employment. Notwithstanding any period of time referenced in
this Section 7 or any other provision of this Section 7 that may be construed to
the contrary, the L Options will in any event terminate upon the expiration of
the Term.

     8. FORFEITURE FOR MISCONDUCT AND REPAYMENT OF CERTAIN AMOUNTS. If (i) a
material restatement of any financial statement of the Company (including any
consolidated financial statement of the Company and its consolidated
subsidiaries) is required and (ii) in the reasonable judgment of the Committee,
(A) such restatement is due to material noncompliance with any financial
reporting requirement under applicable securities laws and (B) such

                                       5
<Page>

noncompliance is a result of misconduct on the part of the Grantee, the Grantee
will repay to the Company any and all Forfeitable Benefits received by the
Grantee during the Misstatement Period. "Forfeitable Benefits" means (i) any and
all cash and/or shares of L Stock received by the Grantee (A) upon the exercise
during the Misstatement Period of any SARs held by the Grantee or (B) upon the
payment during the Misstatement Period of any Cash Award or Performance Award
held by the Grantee, the value of which is determined in whole or in part with
reference to the value of L Stock, and (ii) any proceeds received by the Grantee
from the sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition during the Misstatement
Period of any shares of L Stock received by the Grantee upon the exercise,
vesting or payment during the Misstatement Period of any Award held by the
Grantee. By way of clarification, "Forfeitable Benefits" will not include any
shares of L stock received upon exercise of any L Options during the
Misstatement Period that are not sold, exchanged, transferred or otherwise
disposed of during the Misstatement Period. "Misstatement Period" means the
12-month period beginning on the date of the first public issuance or the filing
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, whichever occurs earlier, of the
financial statement requiring restatement.

     9. NONTRANSFERABILITY. During the Grantee's lifetime, the L Options are not
transferable (voluntarily or involuntarily) other than pursuant to a Domestic
Relations Order and, except as otherwise required pursuant to a Domestic
Relations Order, are exercisable only by the Grantee or the Grantee's court
appointed legal representative. The Grantee may designate a beneficiary or
beneficiaries to whom the L Options will pass upon the Grantee's death and may
change such designation from time to time by filing a written designation of
beneficiary or beneficiaries with the Committee on the form annexed hereto as
Exhibit B or such other form as may be prescribed by the Committee, provided
that no such designation will be effective unless so filed prior to the death of
the Grantee. If no such designation is made or if the designated beneficiary
does not survive the Grantee's death, the L Options will pass by will or the
laws of descent and distribution. Following the Grantee's death, the L Options,
if otherwise exercisable, may be exercised by the person to whom such option or
right passes according to the foregoing and such person will be deemed the
Grantee for purposes of any applicable provisions of this Agreement.

     10. NO STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. Prior to the exercise of L Options in accordance
with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Grantee will not
be deemed for any purpose to be, or to have any of the rights of, a stockholder
of the Company with respect to any shares of L Stock, nor will the existence of
this Agreement affect in any way the right or power of the Company or any
stockholder of the Company to accomplish any corporate act, including, without
limitation, the acts referred to in Section 11.16 of the Plan.

     11. ADJUSTMENTS. If the outstanding shares of L Stock are subdivided into a
greater number of shares (by stock dividend, stock split, reclassification or
otherwise) or are combined into a smaller number of shares (by reverse stock
split, reclassification or otherwise), or if the Committee determines that any
stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend, reclassification, recapitalization,
reorganization, split-up-spin-off, combination, exchange of shares, warrants or
rights offering to purchase any shares of L Stock, or other similar corporate
event (including mergers or consolidations other than those which constitute
Approved Transactions, which shall be governed by Section 11.1(b) of the Plan)
affects shares of L Stock such that an adjustment is required to preserve the
benefits or potential benefits intended to be

                                       6
<Page>

made available under this Agreement, then the L Options will be subject to
adjustment (including, without limitation, as to the number of L Options and the
Base Price per share of such L Options) in the sole discretion of the Committee
and in such manner as the Committee may deem equitable and appropriate in
connection with the occurrence of any of the events described in this Section 11
following the Vesting Anniversary Date.

     12. RESTRICTIONS IMPOSED BY LAW. Without limiting the generality of Section
11.8 of the Plan, the Grantee will not exercise the L Options, and the Company
will not be obligated to make any cash payment or issue or cause to be issued
any shares of L Stock, if counsel to the Company determines that such exercise,
payment or issuance would violate any applicable law or any rule or regulation
of any governmental authority or any rule or regulation of, or agreement of the
Company with, any securities exchange or association upon which shares of L
Stock are listed or quoted. The Company will in no event be obligated to take
any affirmative action in order to cause the exercise of the L Options or the
resulting payment of cash or issuance of shares of L Stock to comply with any
such law, rule, regulation or agreement.

     13. NOTICE. Unless the Company notifies the Grantee in writing of a
different procedure, any notice or other communication to the Company with
respect to this Agreement will be in writing and will be delivered personally or
sent by United States first class mail, postage prepaid and addressed as
follows:

                            Liberty Media Corporation
                            12300 Liberty Boulevard
                            Englewood, Colorado 80112
                            Attn:  Charles Y. Tanabe, Esq.

Any notice or other communication to the Grantee with respect to this Agreement
will be in writing and will be delivered personally, or will be sent by United
States first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Grantee's address as listed in
the records of the Company on the Effective Date, unless the Company has
received written notification from the Grantee of a change of address.

     14. AMENDMENT. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, this Agreement
may be supplemented or amended from time to time as approved by the Committee as
contemplated in Section 11.7(b) of the Plan. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, without the consent of the Grantee,

     (a) this Agreement may be amended or supplemented from time to time as
     approved by the Committee (i) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or
     supplement any provision herein which may be defective or inconsistent with
     any other provision herein, or (ii) to add to the covenants and agreements
     of the Company for the benefit of the Grantee or surrender any right or
     power reserved to or conferred upon the Company in this Agreement, subject
     to any required approval of the Company's stockholders and, provided, in
     each case, that such changes or corrections will not adversely affect the
     rights of the Grantee with respect to the Award evidenced hereby, or (iii)
     to make such other changes as the Company, upon advice of counsel,
     determines are necessary or advisable because of the adoption or
     promulgation of, or change in or of the

                                       7
<Page>

     interpretation of, any law or governmental rule or regulation, including
     any applicable federal or state securities laws; and

     (b) subject to any required action by the Board or the stockholders of the
     Company, the L Options granted under this Agreement may be canceled by the
     Company and a new Award made in substitution therefor, provided that the
     Award so substituted will satisfy all of the requirements of the Plan as of
     the date such new Award is made and no such action will adversely affect
     any L Options to the extent then exercisable.

     15. GRANTEE EMPLOYMENT. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action
of the Company or the Committee with respect hereto, will confer or be construed
to confer on the Grantee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or
any employing Subsidiary to terminate the Grantee's employment at any time, with
or without cause, subject to the provisions of any employment agreement between
the Grantee and the Company or any Subsidiary.

     16. NONALIENATION OF BENEFITS. Except as provided in Section 9 of this
Agreement, (i) no right or benefit under this Agreement will be subject to
anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, hypothecation, pledge, exchange,
transfer, encumbrance or charge, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell,
assign, hypothecate, pledge, exchange, transfer, encumber or charge the same
will be void, and (ii) no right or benefit hereunder will in any manner be
liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities or torts of the
Grantee or other person entitled to such benefits.

     17. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement will be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Colorado. Each party
irrevocably submits to the general jurisdiction of the state and federal courts
located in the State of Colorado in any action to interpret or enforce this
Agreement and irrevocably waives any objection to jurisdiction that such party
may have based on inconvenience of forum.

     18. CONSTRUCTION. References in this Agreement to "this Agreement" and the
words "herein," "hereof," "hereunder" and similar terms include all Exhibits and
Schedules appended hereto. The word "include" and all variations thereof are
