          (e) Each Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees that any Broker-Dealer
     and any such Holder using the Registered Exchange Offer to participate in a

     policy as in effect on the date of this Agreement rely on the position of
     the Commission in Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (pub. avail. May 13,
     1988) and Morgan Stanley and Co., Inc. (pub. avail. June 5, 1991), as

     Holder in exchange for Securities acquired by such Holder directly from any
     Issuer or any Affiliate of any Issuer. Accordingly, each Holder
     participating in the Registered Exchange Offer shall be

                                       7

     required to represent to the Issuer that, at the time of the consummation

          Guarantor; and

          Securities received by such Holder pursuant to the Registered Exchange

          (f) If any Initial Purchaser determines that it is not eligible to

     receive freely tradeable Exchange Securities in exchange for

                                       8

     Securities constituting any portion of an unsold allotment (it being
     understood that (x) the requirement that an Initial Purchaser deliver a
     Prospectus containing the information required by Item 507 or 508 of
     Regulation S-K under the Act in connection with sales of Exchange
     Securities acquired in exchange for such Securities shall result in such
     Exchange Securities being not "freely tradeable;" and (y) the requirement
     that an Exchanging Dealer deliver a Prospectus in connection with sales of
     Exchange Securities acquired in the Registered Exchange Offer in exchange
     for Securities acquired as a result of market-making activities or other
     trading activities shall not result in such Exchange Securities being not
     "freely tradeable"), the Issuer shall file and use its reasonable best
     efforts to cause to become and keep effective a Shelf Registration
     Statement in accordance with subsection (b) below.

     Statement relating to the offer and sale of the Securities or the Exchange
     Securities, as applicable, by the Holders thereof from time to time in
     accordance with the methods of distribution elected by such Holders and set
     forth in such Shelf Registration Statement; provided, however, that no
     Holder (other than an Initial Purchaser) shall be entitled to have the
     Securities held by it covered by such Shelf Registration Statement unless
     such Holder agrees in writing to be bound by all of the provisions of this
     Agreement applicable to such Holder; and provided further, that with
     respect to Exchange Securities received by an Initial Purchaser in exchange
     for Securities constituting any portion of an unsold allotment, the Issuer
     may, if permitted by current interpretations by the Commission's staff,
     file a post-effective amendment to the Exchange Offer Registration
     Statement containing the information required by Item 507 or 508 of
     Regulation S-K, as applicable, in satisfaction of their obligations under
     this subsection with respect thereto, and any such Exchange Offer
     Registration Statement, as so amended, shall be referred to herein as, and
     governed by the provisions herein applicable to, a Shelf Registration
     Statement.

               (ii) The Issuer shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the
          Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented and
          amended as required by the Act, in order to permit the Prospectus
          forming part thereof to be usable by Holders for a period from the

          contained in Rule 144 under the Act pursuant to paragraph (k) thereof
          (in any such case, the "SHELF REGISTRATION PERIOD"). The Issuer shall
          be deemed not to have used its reasonable best efforts to keep the
          Shelf Registration Statement effective during the Shelf Registration
          Period if it voluntarily takes any action that would result in Holders
          of Securities covered thereby not being able to offer and sell such
          Securities at any time during the Shelf Registration Period, unless
          such action is (x) required by applicable law or otherwise taken by

          the applicable requirements of the Act and (B) not to contain any
          untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
          required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
          statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in the light of the
          circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

     4. Additional Registration Procedures. In connection with any Shelf
Registration Statement and, to the extent applicable, any Exchange Offer
Registration Statement, the following provisions shall apply.

          (a) The Issuer shall:

               (i) furnish to counsel for the Initial Purchasers and to counsel
          for the Holders, not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the
          filing thereof with the Commission, a copy of any Exchange Offer
          Registration Statement and any Shelf Registration Statement, and each
          amendment thereof and each amendment or supplement, if any, to the
          Prospectus included therein (including all documents incorporated by
          reference therein after the initial filing) and shall use its
          commercially reasonable best efforts to reflect in each such document,
          when so filed with the Commission, such comments as counsel to the
          Holders or counsel for the Initial Purchasers reasonably propose;

               (ii) include the information set forth in Annex A hereto on the
          facing page of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, in Annex B
          hereto in the forepart of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement in
          a section setting forth details of the Exchange Offer, in Annex C
          hereto in the

                                       10

          underwriting or plan of distribution section of the Prospectus
          contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and in Annex D
          hereto in the letter of transmittal delivered pursuant to the
          Registered Exchange Offer;

               (iii) if requested by an Initial Purchaser, include the
          information required by Item 507 or 508, as applicable, of Regulation
          S-K in the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration
          Statement or Shelf Registration Statement; and

               (iv) in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, include the
          names of the Holders that propose to sell Securities pursuant to the
          Shelf Registration Statement as selling security holders.

          (b) The Issuer shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that:

               (i) any Registration Statement and any amendment thereto and any
          Prospectus forming part thereof and any amendment or supplement
          thereto complies in all material respects with the Act; and

               (ii) any Registration Statement and any amendment thereto does
          not, when it becomes effective, contain an untrue statement of a
          material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated
          therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

          (c) The Issuer shall advise counsel for the Initial Purchasers, the
     Holders of Securities covered by any Shelf Registration Statement and any
     Exchanging Dealer under any Exchange Offer Registration Statement that has
     provided in writing to the Issuer a telephone or facsimile number and
     address for notices, and, if requested by any Initial Purchaser or any such
     Holder or Exchanging Dealer, shall confirm such advice in writing (which
     notice pursuant to clauses (ii)-(v) hereof shall be accompanied by an
     instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the Issuer shall
     have remedied the basis for such suspension):

               (i) when a Registration Statement and any amendment thereto has
          been filed with the Commission and when the Registration Statement or
          any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;

               (ii) of any request by the Commission after the effective date
          for any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the
          Prospectus or for additional information;

                                       11

               (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order
          suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the
          institution of any proceeding for that purpose;

               (iv) of the receipt by the Issuer of any notification with
          respect to the suspension of the qualification of the securities
          included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the institution of
          any proceeding for such purpose; and

               (v) of the happening of any event that requires any change in the
          Registration Statement or the Prospectus so that, as of such date,
          they (A) do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact and
          (B) do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein
          or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the
          Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
          made) not misleading.

          (d) The Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to
     obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any
     Registration Statement or the qualification of the securities therein for
     sale in any jurisdiction.

          (e) The Issuer shall furnish to each Holder of Securities covered by
     any Shelf Registration Statement, without charge, at least one (1) copy of
     such Shelf Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto,
     including all material incorporated therein by reference, and, if the
     Holder so requests in writing, all exhibits thereto (including exhibits
     incorporated by reference therein).

          (f) The Issuer shall, during the Shelf Registration Period, deliver to
     each Holder of Securities covered by any Shelf Registration Statement,
     without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus (including the Preliminary
     Prospectus) included in such Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment
     or supplement thereto as such Holder may reasonably request. The Issuer
     consents to the use of the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement
     thereto by each of the selling Holders of Securities in connection with the
     offering and sale of the Securities covered by the Prospectus, or any
     amendment or supplement thereto, included in the Shelf Registration
     Statement.

          (g) The Issuer shall furnish to each Exchanging Dealer which so
     requests, without charge, at least one (1) conformed copy of the Exchange
     Offer Registration Statement and any post-effective amendments thereto,
     including all material incorporated by reference therein, and, if the
     Exchanging Dealer so requests in writing, all exhibits thereto (including
     exhibits incorporated by reference therein).

          (h) The Issuer shall promptly deliver to each Initial Purchaser, each
     Exchanging Dealer and each other person required to deliver a Prospectus
     during the

                                       12

     Exchange Offer Registration Period, without charge, as many copies of the
     Prospectus included in such Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any
     amendments or supplements thereto as any such person may reasonably
     request. The Issuer consents to the use of the Prospectus or any amendments
     or supplements thereto by any Initial Purchaser, any Exchanging Dealer and
     any such other person that may be required to deliver a Prospectus
     following the Registered Exchange Offer in connection with the offering and
     sale of the Exchange Securities covered by the Prospectus, or any amendment
     or supplement thereto, included in the Exchange Offer Registration
     Statement.

          (i) Prior to the Registered Exchange Offer or any other offering of
     Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement, the Issuer shall
     arrange, if necessary, for the registration or qualification of the
     Securities or the Exchange Securities for sale under the laws of such
     jurisdictions as any Holder shall reasonably request and shall maintain
     such qualification in effect so long as required; provided that in no event
     shall the Issuer be obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction
     where it is not then so qualified or to take any action that would subject
     it to service of process in suits, other than those arising out of the
     Initial Placement, the Registered Exchange Offer or any offering pursuant
     to a Shelf Registration Statement, in any such jurisdiction where it is not
     then so subject or to subject itself to taxation in excess of a nominal
     amount in respect of doing business in such jurisdiction.

          (j) The Issuer shall cooperate with the Holders of Securities to
     facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing
     Exchange Securities or Securities to be issued or sold pursuant to any
     Registration Statement free of any restrictive legends and in such
     denominations and registered in such names as Holders may request in
     writing at least three (3) Business Days prior to the closing date of any
     sales of Exchange Securities.

          (k) (i) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by subsections
     (c) (ii) through (v) above, the Issuer shall promptly (or within the time
     period provided for by clause (ii) hereof, if applicable) prepare a
     post-effective amendment to the applicable Registration Statement or an
     amendment or supplement to the related Prospectus or file any other
     required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the Initial
     Purchasers of the Securities included therein, the Prospectus shall not
     include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
     material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
     statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
     made, not misleading. In such circumstances, the period of effectiveness of
     the Exchange Offer Registration Statement provided for in Section 2 hereof
     shall be extended by the number of days from and including the date of the
     giving of a notice of suspension pursuant to Section 4(c) hereof to and
     including the date when the Initial Purchasers, the Holders of the
     Securities and any

                                       13

     known Exchanging Dealer shall have received such amended or supplemented
     Prospectus pursuant to this Section 4(k).

               (ii) Upon the occurrence or existence of any pending corporate
          development or any other material event that, in the reasonable
          judgment of the Issuer, makes it appropriate to suspend the
          availability of a Shelf Registration Statement and the related
          Prospectus, the Issuer shall give notice (without notice of the nature
          or details of such events) to the Holders that the availability of the
          Shelf Registration is suspended and, upon actual receipt of any such
          notice, each Holder agrees not to sell any Registrable Securities
          pursuant to the Shelf Registration until such Holder's receipt of
          copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus provided for in
          Section 3(a)(i) hereof, or until it is advised in writing by the
          Issuer that the Prospectus may be used, and has received copies of any
          additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed
          incorporated by reference in such Prospectus. The period during which
          the availability of the Shelf Registration and any Prospectus is
          suspended (the "DEFERRAL PERIOD") (1) shall not exceed 60 consecutive
          days, (2) shall not occur more than three times during any calendar
          year and (3) shall extend the number of days the Shelf Registration or
          any Prospectus is available by an amount equal to the Deferral Period.
          Any Liquidated Damages payable pursuant to Section 8(a)(iii) shall
          cease to accrue during any Deferral Period.

          (l) Not later than the effective date of any Registration Statement,
     the Issuer shall provide a CUSIP number and ISIN for the Securities or the
     Exchange Securities, as the case may be, registered under such Registration
     Statement, and provide the Trustee with printed certificates for such
     Securities or Exchange Securities, in a form eligible for deposit with The
     Depository Trust Company.

          (m) The Issuer shall comply in all material respects with all
     applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and shall make generally
     available to its security holders earnings statements satisfying the
     provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act as soon as practicable after the
     effective date of the applicable Registration Statement.

          (n) The Issuer shall cause the Exchange Securities Indenture to be
     qualified under the Trust Indenture Act as required by applicable law in a
     timely manner.

          (o) The Issuer may require each Holder of Securities to be sold
     pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement to furnish to the Issuer such
     information regarding the Holder and the distribution of such Securities as
     the Issuer may from time to time reasonably require for inclusion in such
     Registration Statement. The Issuer may

                                       14

     exclude from such Shelf Registration Statement the Securities of any Holder
     that fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after
     receiving such request.

          (p) In the case of any Shelf Registration Statement, upon the request
     of the Majority Holders, the Issuer shall enter into customary agreements
     (including, if requested, one underwriting agreement in customary form) and
     take all other appropriate actions, if any, as the Majority Holders shall
     reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the registration or
     the disposition of the Securities, and in connection therewith, if an
     underwriting agreement is entered into, cause the same to contain
     indemnification provisions and procedures no less favorable than those set
     forth in Section 6 hereof.

          (q) In the case of any Shelf Registration Statement, the Issuer shall:

               (i) make reasonably available for inspection at a location where
          they are normally kept and during normal business hours by the
          Majority Holders of Securities to be registered thereunder, any
          underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such
          Registration Statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent
          retained by such Holders or any such underwriter, all relevant
          financial and other records and pertinent corporate documents of the
          Issuer and its subsidiaries;

               (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to cause its officers,
          directors, employees, accountants and auditors to supply all relevant
          information requested by the Holders or any such underwriter,
          attorney, accountant or agent (each, an "INSPECTOR") in connection
          with any such Registration Statement as is customary for similar due
          diligence examinations; provided, however, that such Inspector shall
          first agree in writing with the Issuer that any information that is
          reasonably and in good faith designated by the Issuer in writing as
          confidential at the time of delivery of such information shall be kept
          confidential by such Inspector, unless (1) disclosure of such
          information is required by court or administrative order or is
          necessary to respond to inquiries of regulatory authorities, (2)
          disclosure of such information is required by law (including any
          disclosure requirements pursuant to federal securities laws in
          connection with the filing of such Registration Statement or the use
          of any Prospectus), (3) such information becomes generally available
          to the public other than as a result of a disclosure or failure to
          safeguard such information by such person or (4) such information
          becomes available to such Inspector from a source other than the
          Issuer and such source is not known, after due inquiry, by the
          relevant Holder to be bound by a confidentiality agreement or is not
          otherwise under a duty of trust to the Issuer;

                                       15

               (iii) make such representations and warranties to the Holders of
          Securities registered thereunder and the underwriters, if any, in
          form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuer to
          underwriters in primary underwritten offerings;

               (iv) obtain opinions of counsel to the Issuer and updates thereof
          (which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and substance) shall be
          reasonably satisfactory to the Managing Underwriters, if any)
          addressed to each selling Holder and the underwriters, if any,
          covering such matters as are customarily covered in opinions requested
          in underwritten offerings and such other matters as may be reasonably
          requested by such Holders and underwriters;

               (v) obtain "comfort" letters and updates thereof from the
          independent certified public accountants of the Parent Guarantor (and,
          if necessary, any other independent certified public accountants of
          any subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor or of any business acquired by
          the Parent Guarantor for which financial statements and financial data
          are, or are required to be, included in the Registration Statement),
          addressed to each selling Holder of Securities registered thereunder
          and the underwriters, if any, in customary form and covering matters
          of the type customarily covered in "comfort" letters in connection
          with primary underwritten offerings; and

               (vi) deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably
          requested by the Majority Holders or the Managing Underwriters, if
          any, including those to evidence compliance with Section 4(k) hereof
          and with any customary conditions contained in the underwriting
          agreement or other agreement entered into by the Issuer.

          (r) If a Registered Exchange Offer is to be consummated, upon delivery
     of the Securities by Holders to the Issuer (or to such other person as
     directed by the Issuer) in exchange for the Exchange Securities, the Issuer
     shall mark, or caused to be marked, on the Securities so exchanged that
     such Securities are being cancelled in exchange for the Exchange
     Securities. In no event shall the Securities be marked as paid or otherwise
     satisfied.

          (s) The Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to
     take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Securities
     or the Exchange Securities, as the case may be, covered by a Registration
     Statement.

     5. Registration Expenses. The Issuer shall bear all expenses incurred in
connection with the performance of its obligations under Sections 2, 3 and 4
hereof and, in the event of

                                       16

any Shelf Registration Statement, shall reimburse the Holders for the reasonable
fees and disbursements of one firm or counsel (which shall initially be Davis
Polk & Wardwell, but which may be another nationally recognized law firm
experienced in securities matters designated by the Majority Holders) to act as
counsel for the Holders in connection therewith, and, in the case of any
Exchange Offer Registration Statement, shall reimburse the Initial Purchasers
for the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel acting in connection
therewith, in each case which counsel shall be approved by the Issuer (such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld). Each Holder shall pay all expenses of
its counsel other than as set forth in the preceding sentence, underwriting
discounts and commissions and transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale or
disposition of such Holder's Securities or Exchange Securities.

     6. Indemnification and Contribution.

          (a) The Issuer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of
     Securities or Exchange Securities, as the case may be, covered by any
     Registration Statement, each Initial Purchaser and each Affiliate thereof
     and, with respect to any Prospectus delivery as contemplated in Section
     4(h) hereof, each Exchanging Dealer, the directors, officers and Affiliates
     of each such Holder, Initial Purchaser or Exchanging Dealer and each person
     who controls any such Holder, Initial Purchaser or Exchanging Dealer within
     the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act from and against any and
     all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint or several, to which
     they or any of them may become subject under Section 15 of the Act, Section
     20 of the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or
     regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
     damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are
     based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
     fact contained in the Registration Statement as originally filed or in any
     amendment thereof, or in any preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, or
     in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are
     based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material
     fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
     therein (in the case of any preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, in
     the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading,
     and agree (subject to the limitations set forth in the proviso to this
     sentence) to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any
     legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with
     investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
     action; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be liable in any such
     case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises
     out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue
     statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and
     in conformity with written information furnished to the Issuer by or on
     behalf of the party claiming indemnification specifically for inclusion
     therein; provided, further, that with respect to any such untrue statement
     in or omission from the Preliminary Prospectus, the indemnity agreement
     contained in this paragraph (a) shall not inure to

                                       17

     the benefit of any Initial Purchaser to the extent that the sale to the
     person asserting any such loss, claim, damage or liability was an initial
     resale by such Initial Purchaser and any such loss, claim, damage or
     liability of or with respect to such Initial Purchaser results from the
     fact that both (i) a copy of the Final Prospectus was not sent or given to
     such person at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such
     Securities to such person and (ii) the untrue statement in or omission from
     such Preliminary Prospectus was corrected in the Final Prospectus unless,
     in either case, such failure to deliver the Final Prospectus was a result
     of non-compliance by the Issuer with the provisions of Section 4 hereof.
     This indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any liability that the
     Issuer may otherwise have. The Issuer shall not be liable under this
     Section 6 to any indemnified party regarding any settlement or compromise
     or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or
     threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which
     indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the
     indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or
     action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent is consented to by
     the Issuer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

          (b) Each Holder of securities covered by a Registration Statement
     (including each Initial Purchaser that is a Holder, in such capacity)
     severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer
     and each of its directors, each of its officers who signs such Registration
     Statement and each person who controls the Issuer within the meaning of
     either Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, to the same
     extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Issuer to each such Holder, but
     only with reference to written information relating to such Holder
     furnished to the Issuer by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for
     inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This
     indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any liability that any such
     Holder may otherwise have.

          (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section
     6 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party
     shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying
     party under this Section 6, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the
     commencement thereof; but the failure to so notify the indemnifying party
     (i) shall not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) of this
     Section 6 unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such
     action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party
     of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) shall not, in any event,
     relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified
     party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a)
     or (b) of this Section 6. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to
     appoint counsel (including local counsel) of the indemnifying party's
     choice at the indemnifying party's expense to represent the indemnified
     party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the
     indemnifying

                                       18

     party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any
     separate counsel, other than local counsel if not appointed by the
     indemnifying party, retained by the indemnified party or parties except as
     set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably
     satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying
     party's election to appoint counsel (including local counsel) to represent
     the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the
     right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the
     indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of
     such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying
     party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a
     conflict of interest (based on the advice of counsel to the indemnified
     person), (ii) such action includes both the indemnified party and the
     indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably
     concluded (based on the advice of counsel to the indemnified person) that
     there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified
     parties that are different from or additional to those available to the
     indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed
     counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the
     indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution
     of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the
     indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the
     indemnifying party. It is understood and agreed that the indemnifying
     person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding
     in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of
     more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all
     indemnified persons. Any such separate firm for any Initial Purchaser, its
     affiliates, directors and officers and any control persons of such Initial
     Purchaser shall be designated in writing by Morgan Stanley & Co.
     Incorporated and any such separate firm for the Issuer, the Guarantors and
     any control persons of the Issuer shall be designated in writing by the
     Issuer. An indemnifying party shall not, without the prior written consent
     of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of
     any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit
     or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be
     sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or
     potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement,
     compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified
     party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or
     proceeding and does not include any statement as to, or any concession of,
     fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified
     party.

          (d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b)
     of this Section 6 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an
     indemnified party for any reason, then each applicable indemnifying party
     shall have a joint and several obligation to contribute to the aggregate
     losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses
     reasonably incurred in connection with

                                       19

     investigating or defending any loss, claim, liability, damage or action)
     (collectively "LOSSES") to which such indemnified party may be subject in
     such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received
     by such indemnifying party, on the one hand, and such indemnified party, on
     the other hand, from the Initial Placement and the Registration Statement
     which resulted in such Losses; provided, however, that in no case shall any
     Initial Purchaser be responsible, in the aggregate, for any amount in
     excess of the purchase discount or commission applicable to such Security,
     or in the case of a Exchange Security, applicable to the Security that was
     exchangeable into such Exchange Security, as set forth in the Purchase
     Agreement, nor shall any underwriter be responsible for any amount in
     excess of the underwriting discount or commission applicable to the
     securities purchased by such underwriter under the Registration Statement
     which resulted in such Losses. If the allocation provided by the
     immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason or not
     permitted by applicable law, the indemnifying party and the indemnified
     party shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not
     only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of such
     indemnifying party, on the one hand, and such indemnified party, on the
     other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted
     in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
     Benefits received by the Issuer shall be deemed to be equal to the total
     net proceeds from the Initial Placement (before deducting expenses) as set
     forth in the Final Memorandum. Benefits received by the Initial Purchasers
     shall be deemed to be equal to the total purchase discounts and commissions
     as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, and benefits received by any other
     Holders shall be deemed to be equal to the value of receiving Securities or
     Exchange Securities, as applicable, registered under the Act. Benefits
     received by any underwriter shall be deemed to be equal to the total
     underwriting discounts and commissions, as set forth on the cover page of
     the Prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement which resulted
     in such Losses. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among
     other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a
     material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
     relates to information provided by the indemnifying party, on the one hand,
     or by the indemnified party, on the other hand, the intent of the parties
     and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
     correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission and any other
     equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. The parties
     agree that it would not be just and equitable if the amount of such
     contribution were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders
     were treated as one entity for such purpose) or any other method of
     allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations
     referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph 6(d),
     no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of
     Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person
     who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of
     this Section 6(d), each person, if any, who controls

                                       20

     a Holder within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each
     director and officer of such Holder shall have the same rights to
     contribution as such Holder, and each person who controls the Issuer within
     the meaning of either Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange
     Act, each officer of the Issuer who shall have signed the Registration
     Statement and each director of the Issuer shall have the same rights to
     contribution as the Issuer, subject in each case to the applicable terms
     and conditions of this paragraph 6(d).

          (e) The provisions of this Section 6 shall remain in full force and
     effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Holder
     or the Issuer or any of the indemnified persons referred to in this Section
     6, and shall survive the sale by a Holder of securities covered by a
     Registration Statement.

     7. Underwritten Registrations.

          (a) If any of the Securities or Exchange Securities, as the case may
     be, covered by any Shelf Registration Statement are to be sold in an
     underwritten offering, the Managing Underwriters, if any, shall be selected
     by the Majority Holders, subject to the consent of the Issuer (which shall
     not be unreasonably withheld), and the Holders of Securities or Exchange
     Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement shall be
     responsible for all underwriting commissions and discounts.

          (b) No person may participate in any underwritten offering pursuant to
     any Shelf Registration Statement, unless such person (i) agrees to sell
     such person's Securities or Exchange Securities, as the case may be, on the
     basis reasonably provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the
     persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (ii) completes
     and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities,
     underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the
     terms of such underwriting arrangements.

     8. Registration Defaults.

          (a) If any of the following events shall occur, then the Issuer shall
     pay liquidated damages (the "LIQUIDATED DAMAGES") to the Holders of
     Securities in respect of the Securities as follows:

               (i) if (a) neither (x) the Registered Exchange Offer is
          completed, nor (y) if required, the Shelf Registration Statement is
          declared effective, within, in each case, 270 days of the Original
          Closing Date, then Liquidated Damages shall accrue on the Registrable
          Securities at a rate of 0.25% per annum on the principal amount of
          such Registrable Securities for the first 90 days from and including
          such specified date and increasing by an additional

                                       21

          0.25% per annum at the beginning of each subsequent 90-day period
          thereafter; provided that Liquidated Damages in the aggregate under
          this Section 8 may not exceed 1.0% per annum of the principal amount
          of such Registrable Securities; or

               (ii) notwithstanding that the Issuer has consummated or will
          consummate a Registered Exchange Offer, if the Issuer is required to
          file a Shelf Registration Statement and such Shelf Registration
          Statement is not declared effective on or prior to the 270th day
          following the date the filing of such Shelf Registration Statement is
          required or requested pursuant to Section 3(a), then Liquidated
          Damages shall accrue on the Registrable Securities at a rate of 0.25%
          per annum of the principal amount of such Registrable Securities for
          the first 90 days from and including such specified date and
          increasing by an additional 0.25% per annum at the beginning of each
          subsequent 90-day period thereafter; provided that Liquidated Damages
          in the aggregate under this Section 8 may not exceed 1.0% per annum of
          the principal amount of such Registrable Securities; or

               (iii) subject to the last sentence of Section 4(k)(ii) above, if
          the Shelf Registration Statement required by Section 3(a) of this
          Agreement has been declared effective but thereafter ceases to be
          effective at any time at which it is required to be effective under
          this Agreement and such failure to remain effective exists for more
          than 30 consecutive days or more than 60 days (whether or not
          consecutive) during the period for which the Shelf Registration
          Statement is required, then commencing on the 31st day or 61st day, as
          applicable, following the date on which such Shelf Registration
          Statement ceases to be effective, Liquidated Damages shall accrue on
          the Registrable Securities at a rate of 0.25% per annum of the
          principal amount of such Registrable Securities for the first 90 days
          from and including such 31st day or 61st day, as applicable, following
          the date on which such Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be
          effective and increasing by an additional 0.25% per annum at the
          beginning of each subsequent 90-day period thereafter; provided that
          Liquidated Damages in the aggregate under this Section 8 may not
          exceed 1.0% per annum of the principal amount of such Registrable
          Securities;

     provided, however, that upon (1) the completion of the Exchange Offer (in
     the case of paragraph (i) above), (2) the effectiveness of the Shelf
     Registration Statement (in the case of paragraph (ii) above) and (3) the
     effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement which had ceased to
     remain effective (in the case of paragraph (iii) above), Liquidated Damages
     shall cease to accrue.

                                       22

          (b) The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing within one Business
     Day after each and every date on which an event occurs in respect of which
     Liquidated Damages are required to be paid and within one Business Day
     after such Liquidated Damages cease to accrue. Any amounts of Liquidated
     Damages due pursuant to paragraphs (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section 8(a)
     will be payable in cash on each interest payment date specified by the
     Indenture to the record holder entitled to receive the interest payment to
     be made on such date, commencing with the first such date occurring after
     any such Liquidated Damages commences to accrue.

          (c) The parties hereto agree that the liquidated damages in the form
     of Liquidated Damages provided for in this Section 8 constitute a
     reasonable estimate of and are intended to constitute the sole damages
     payable under this Agreement that will be suffered by Holders of Securities
     by reason of the failure of (i) the Registered Exchange Offer to be
     completed; (ii) the Shelf Registration Statement, if required hereby, to be
     declared effective, or (iii) the Shelf Registration Statement to remain
     effective (and the prospectus contained therein to remain usable), in each
     case to the extent required by this Agreement.

     9. Satisfaction of Obligations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Issuer and the Parent Guarantor may satisfy their filing
obligations under Sections 2(a) and 3(a) of this Agreement by including the
Exchange Securities and any Registrable Securities, as the case may be, on any
Registration Statements required to be filed pursuant to the Original
Registration Rights Agreement.

     10. No Inconsistent Agreements. The Issuer has not entered into, and agrees
not to enter into, any agreement with respect to its securities that is
inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders herein or that otherwise
conflicts with the provisions hereof.

     11. Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be
amended, qualified, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to
departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the Issuer has
obtained the written consent of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate
principal amount of the Registrable Securities outstanding; provided that, with
respect to any matter that directly or indirectly affects the rights and
obligations of any Initial Purchaser hereunder, the Issuer shall obtain the
written consent of each such Initial Purchaser against which such amendment,
qualification, supplement, waiver or consent is to be effective; provided,
further, that no amendment, qualification, supplement, waiver or consent with
respect to Section 8 hereof shall be effective as against any Holder of
Registered Securities unless consented to in writing by such Holder; and
provided, further, that the provisions of this Article 11 may not be amended,
qualified, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from
the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the Issuer has obtained the
written consent of the Initial Purchasers and each Holder. Notwithstanding the
foregoing (except the foregoing provisos), a waiver or

                                       23

consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that
relates exclusively to the rights of Holders whose Securities or Exchange
Securities, as the case may be, are being sold pursuant to a Registration
Statement and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other
Holders may be given by the Majority Holders, determined on the basis of
Securities or Exchange Securities, as the case may be, being sold rather than
registered under such Registration Statement.

     12. Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted
hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, first-class mail, telex,
telecopier or air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery:

          (a) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by such Holder
     to the Issuer in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12, which
     address initially is, with respect to each Holder, the address of such
     Holder maintained by the Registrar (as such term is defined in the
     Indenture) under the Indenture;

          (b) if to the Initial Purchasers, initially at the address or
     addresses set forth in the Purchase Agreement; and

          (c) if to the Issuer or any Guarantor, initially at its address set
     forth in the Purchase Agreement.

     All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly given
when received.

     The Initial Purchasers or the Issuer by notice to the other parties may
designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or
communications.

     13. Remedies. Each Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all
rights provided to it herein, in the Indenture or in the Purchase Agreement or
granted by law, including recovery of liquidated or other damages, will be
entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Issuer
agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss
incurred by reason of a breach by them of the provisions of this Agreement and
hereby agree to waive in any action for specific performance the defense that a
remedy at law would be adequate.

     14. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of
and be binding upon the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns,
including, without the need for an express assignment or any consent by the
Issuer thereto, subsequent Holders of Securities and the Exchange Securities,
and the indemnified persons referred to in Section 6 hereof. The Issuer hereby
agrees to extend the benefits of this Agreement to any Holder of

                                       24

Securities and the Exchange Securities, and any such Holder may specifically
enforce the provisions of this Agreement as if an original party hereto.

     15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in one or more counterparts
which may be delivered in original form or by telecopier, each of which when so
executed shall constitute an original and all of which together shall constitute
one and the same agreement.

     16. Headings. The section headings used herein are for convenience only and
shall not affect the construction hereof.

     17. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made
and to be performed in the State of New York. The parties hereto each hereby
waive any right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim
arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

     18. Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions
contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstances, is held
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity,
legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of
the remaining provisions hereof shall not be in any way impaired or affected
thereby, it being intended that all of the rights and privileges of the parties
shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

     19. Securities Held by any Issuer, etc. Whenever the consent or approval of
Holders of a specified percentage of principal amount of Securities or Exchange
Securities is required hereunder, Securities or Exchange Securities, as
applicable, held by the Issuer, any Guarantor or their Affiliates (other than
subsequent Holders of Securities or Exchange Securities if such subsequent
Holders are deemed to be Affiliates solely by reason of their holdings of such
Securities or Exchange Securities) shall not be counted in determining whether
such consent or approval was given by the Holders of such required percentage.

                            [Signature pages follow.]

     Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account
pursuant to the Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it shall deliver a
prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. The Letter
of Transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a Prospectus, a
broker-dealer shall not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within
the meaning of the Act. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented
from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of
Exchange Securities received in exchange for Securities where such Securities
were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or
other trading activities. The Issuer has agreed that, for a period of 90 days
after consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer, they shall make this
Prospectus available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such
resale. See "Plan of Distribution".

                                      A-1

                                                                         ANNEX B

     Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account in
exchange for Securities, where such Securities were acquired by such
broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading
activities, must acknowledge that it shall deliver a Prospectus in connection
with any resale of such Exchange Securities. See "Plan of Distribution".

                                      B-1

                                                                         ANNEX C

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account
pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver
a Prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. This
Prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used
by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Exchange Securities received in
exchange for Securities where such Securities were acquired as a result of
market-making activities or other trading activities. The Issuer has agreed
that, for a period of 90 days after the consummation of the Registered Exchange
Offer, it will make this Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to
any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. In addition, until
__________, 20___, all dealers effecting transactions in the Exchange Securities
may be required to deliver a Prospectus.

     The Issuer will not receive any proceeds from any sale of Exchange
Securities by brokers-dealers. Exchange Securities received by broker-dealers
for their own account pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer may be sold from
time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in
negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the Exchange
Securities or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices
prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market
prices or negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers
or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of
commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer and/or the purchasers of
any such Exchange Securities. Any broker-dealer that resells Exchange Securities
that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the Registered Exchange
Offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such
Exchange Securities may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of
the Act and any profit of any such resale of Exchange Securities and any
commissions or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be
underwriting compensation under the Act. The Letter of Transmittal states that
by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a Prospectus, a
broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the
meaning of the Act.

     For a period of 90 days after the consummation of the Registered Exchange
Offer, the Issuer will promptly send additional copies of this Prospectus and
any amendments or supplements to this Prospectus to any broker-dealer that
requests such documents in the Letter of Transmittal. The Issuer has agreed to
pay all expenses incident to the Registered Exchange Offer (including the
expenses of one counsel for the holder of the Securities) other than commissions
or concessions of any brokers or dealers and will indemnify the holders of the
Securities (including any broker-dealers) against certain liabilities, including
liabilities under the Act.

accordance herewith and (ii) each Borrowing denominated in Euros shall be
comprised entirely of Eurocurrency Loans. Each Swingline Dollar Borrowing shall
be an ABR Borrowing. Each Swingline Euro Borrowing shall be comprised entirely
of Swingline Euro Loans. Each Lender at its option may make any ABR Loan or
Eurocurrency Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such
Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not
affect the obligation of the applicable Borrower to repay such Loan in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such Lender shall not be
entitled to any amounts payable under Section 2.15,

                                      -57-

2.17 or 2.21 solely in respect of increased costs resulting from such exercise
and existing at the time of such exercise.

                  (c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any
Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount
that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the
Borrowing Minimum. At the time that each ABR Revolving Borrowing is made, such
Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of the
Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum; provided that an ABR
Revolving Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire
unused balance of the Revolving Facility Commitments or that is required to
finance the reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement as contemplated by Section
2.05(e). Each Swingline Dollar Borrowing and Swingline Euro Borrowing shall be
in an amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less
than the Borrowing Minimum. Borrowings of more than one Type and under more than
one Facility may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not
at any time be more than a total of (i) eight Eurocurrency Borrowings
outstanding under the Term Loan Facility and (ii) 20 Eurocurrency Borrowings
outstanding under the Revolving Facility and the CL Facility.

                  (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no
Borrower shall be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any
Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after
the Revolving Facility Maturity Date or Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable.

                  SECTION 2.02(B) Credit-Linked Deposits. (a) On the Closing
Date, and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in
Article IV, each Lender that is a CL Lender on such date shall pay to the
Deposit Bank such CL Lender's Credit-Linked Deposit in the amount of its
Credit-Linked Commitment. The Credit-Linked Deposits shall be held by the
Deposit Bank in (or credited to) the Credit-Linked Deposit Account, and no
Person other than the Deposit Bank shall have a right of withdrawal from the
Credit-Linked Deposit Account or any other right or power with respect to the
Credit-Linked Deposits. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
funding obligation of each CL Lender in respect of its participation in CL
Credit Events shall be satisfied in full upon the funding of its Credit-Linked
Deposit. Each of the Deposit Bank, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank
and each CL Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees (i) that each CL Lender is
funding its Credit-Linked Deposit to the Deposit Bank for application in the
manner contemplated by Section 2.06(a) and/or 2.05(e), (ii) the Deposit Bank may
invest the Credit-Linked Deposits in such investments as may be determined from
time to time by the Deposit Bank and (iii) the Deposit Bank has agreed to pay to
each CL Lender a return on its Credit-Linked Deposit (except (x) during periods
when such Credit-Linked Deposits are used to (x) fund CL Loans or (y) reimburse
an Issuing Lender with respect to Drawings on CL Letters of Credit or (y) as
otherwise provided in Sections 2.02(B)(c) and (d)) equal at any time to the
Adjusted LIBO Rate for Dollar Term Loans for the Interest Period in effect for
the Credit-Linked Deposits at such time less the Credit-Linked Deposit Cost
Amount at such time. Such interest will be paid to the CL Lenders by the Deposit
Bank at the applicable Adjusted LIBO Rate for an Interest Period of one month
(or at an amount determined in accordance with Section 2.02(B)(c) or (d), as
applicable) less, in each case, the Credit-Linked Deposit Cost Amount in arrears
on each CL Interest Payment Date.

                                      -58-

                  (b) No Loan Party shall have any right, title or interest in
or to the Credit-Linked Deposit Account or the Credit-Linked Deposits and no
obligations with respect thereto (except to repay CL Loans and to refund
portions thereof used to reimburse an Issuing Lender with respect to Drawings on
CL Letters of Credit as provided in Section 2.05(e)), it being acknowledged and
agreed by the parties hereto that the funding of the Credit-Linked Deposits by
the CL Lenders, and the application of the Credit-Linked Deposits in the manner
contemplated by Section 2.05(e) constitute agreements among the Deposit Bank,
the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each CL Lender with respect to
the participation in the CL Letters of Credit and do not constitute any loan or
extension of credit to any Borrower.

                  (c) If the Deposit Bank is not offering Dollar deposits (in
the applicable amounts) in the London interbank market, or the Deposit Bank
determines that adequate and fair means do not otherwise exist for ascertaining
the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Credit-Linked Deposits (or any part thereof),
then the Credit-Linked Deposits (or such parts, as applicable) shall be invested
so as to earn a return equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate
determined by the Deposit Bank in accordance with banking industry rules on
interbank compensation.

                  (d) If any CL Loan is repaid by the respective CL Borrower, or
if any L/C Disbursement under a CL Letter of Credit that has been funded by the
CL Lenders from the Credit-Linked Deposits as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall
be reimbursed by the respective CL Borrower, on a day other than on the last day
of an Interest Period applicable to the Credit-Linked Deposits, the
Administrative Agent shall, upon receipt thereof, pay over such amounts to the
Deposit Bank which will invest such amounts in overnight or short-term cash
equivalent investments until the end of the Interest Period at the time in
effect and respective CL Borrower shall pay to the Deposit Bank, upon the
Deposit Bank's request therefor, the amount, if any, by which the interest
accrued on a like amount of the Credit-Linked Deposits at the Adjusted LIBO Rate
for Term Loans for the Interest Period in effect therefor shall exceed the
interest earned through the investment of the amount so reimbursed for the
period from the date of such reimbursement through the end of the applicable
Interest Period, as determined by the Deposit Bank (such determination shall,
absent manifest error, be presumed correct and binding on all parties hereto)
and set forth in the request for payment delivered to CAC. In the event that the
respective CL Borrower shall fail to pay any amount due under this Section
2.02(B)(d), the interest payable by the Deposit Bank to the CL Lenders on their
Credit-Linked Deposits under Section 2.02 (B)(a) shall be correspondingly
reduced and the CL Lenders shall without further act succeed, ratably in
accordance with their CL Percentages, to the rights of the Deposit Bank with
respect to such amount due from the respective CL Borrower. All repayments of CL
Loans and all reimbursements of L/C Disbursements under a CL Letter of Credit
that has been funded by the CL Lenders from the Credit-Linked Deposits, in each
case received by the Administrative Agent prior to the termination of the Total
Credit-Linked Commitment, shall be paid over to the Deposit Bank which will
deposit same in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account.

                  SECTION 2.03 Requests for Borrowings. To request any
Borrowing, the applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such
request by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than
11:00 a.m., Local Time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed
Borrowing or (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon,
Local Time, one Business Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing; provided
that

                                      -59-

any such notice of an ABR Revolving Borrowing to finance the reimbursement of an
L/C Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e) may be given not later than
11:00 a.m., Local Time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such
telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed
promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written
Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by
the applicable Borrower. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request
shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

                  (i) the Borrower requesting such Borrowing;

                  (ii) whether the requested Borrowing is to be a Revolving
         Facility Borrowing, Term Borrowing or CL Borrowing;

                  (iii) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing
         (expressed in Dollars or, if permitted to be borrowed in Euros, in
         Euros);

                  (iv) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business
         Day;

                  (v) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars, whether
         such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing;

                  (vi) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the initial
         Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period
         contemplated by clause (a) of the definition of the term "Interest
         Period"; and

                  (vii) the location and number of the applicable Borrower's
account to which funds are to be disbursed.

If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested
Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing, unless such Borrowing (i) is denominated in
Euros and (ii) is being requested by a Foreign Revolving Borrower, in which case
such Borrowing shall be a Eurocurrency Borrowing. If no Interest Period is
specified with respect to any requested Eurocurrency Borrowing, then the
applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one
month's duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in
accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender
of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender's Loan to be made as
part of the requested Borrowing.

                  SECTION 2.04 Swingline Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, (i) each Swingline Dollar Lender agrees to make
Swingline Dollar Loans to any Domestic Swingline Borrower from time to time
during the Revolving Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at
any time outstanding for all Swingline Dollar Loans that will not result in (x)
the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Dollar Loans made by
such Swingline Dollar Lender exceeding such Swingline Dollar Lender's Swingline
Dollar Commitment or (y) the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure exceeding the
total Revolving Facility Commitments and (ii) each Swingline Euro Lender agrees
to make Swingline Euro Loans to any Foreign Swingline Borrower from time to time
during the Revolving Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at
any time outstanding for all Swingline Euro Loans that will not result in (x)
the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Euro Loans

                                      -60-

made by such Swingline Euro Lender exceeding such Swingline Euro Lender's
Swingline Euro Commitment or (y) the sum of the Revolving Facility Credit
Exposure exceeding the total Revolving Facility Commitments; provided that no
Swingline Lender shall be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an
outstanding Swingline Dollar Borrowing or Swingline Euro Borrowing. Within the
foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the
Borrowers may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.

                  (b) To request a Swingline Dollar Borrowing or Swingline Euro
Borrowing, the applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent and the
applicable Swingline Lender of such request by telephone (confirmed by a
Swingline Borrowing Request by telecopy), not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time,
on the day of a proposed Swingline Borrowing (or in the case of a Swingline Euro
Borrowing, 10:00 a.m. New York time, on the Business Day preceding the date of
the proposed Swingline Euro Borrowing). Each such notice and Swingline Borrowing
Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the Borrower requesting such
Borrowing, (ii) the requested date (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the
amount of the requested Swingline Dollar Borrowing (expressed in Dollars) or
Swingline Euro Borrowing (expressed in Euros), as applicable, and (iv) in the
case of a Swingline Euro Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable
thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by clause (b) of the definition of
the term "Interest Period." The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise each
Swingline Dollar Lender (in the case of a notice relating to a Swingline Dollar
Borrowing) or each Swingline Euro Lender (in the case of a notice relating to a
Swingline Euro Borrowing) of any such notice received from a Borrower and the
amount of such Swingline Lender's Swingline Loan to be made as part of the
requested Swingline Dollar Borrowing or Swingline Euro Borrowing, as applicable.
Each Swingline Dollar Lender shall make each Swingline Dollar Loan to be made by
it hereunder in accordance with Section 2.04(a) on the proposed date thereof by
wire transfer of immediately available funds by 3:00 p.m., Local Time, to the
account of the Administrative Agent by notice to the Swingline Dollar Lenders.
The Administrative Agent will make such Swingline Dollar Loans available to the
applicable Domestic Swingline Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so
received, in like funds, to the general deposit account of the applicable
Domestic Swingline Borrower with the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a
Swingline Dollar Borrowing made to finance the reimbursement of an L/C
Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e), by remittance to the applicable
Issuing Bank). Each Swingline Euro Lender shall make each Swingline Euro Loan to
be made by it hereunder in accordance with Section 2.04(a) on the proposed date
thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 3:00 p.m., Local
Time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it
for such purpose by notice to the Swingline Euro Lenders. The Administrative
Agent will make such Swingline Euro Loans available to the applicable Foreign
Swingline Borrower by (i) promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like
funds, to the general deposit account with the Administrative Agent of the
applicable Foreign Swingline Borrower most recently designated to the
Administrative Agent or (ii) by wire transfer of the amounts received in
immediately available funds to the general deposit account of the applicable
Foreign Swingline Borrower most recently designated to the Administrative Agent.

                  (c) A Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the
Administrative Agent (and to the other Swingline Dollar Lenders or Swingline
Euro Lenders, as applicable) not later than 10:00 a.m., Local Time, on any
Business Day require the Revolving Facility Lenders to acquire participations on
such Business Day in all or a portion of the outstanding Swingline

                                      -61-

Loans made by it. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of such
Swingline Loans in which the Revolving Facility Lenders will participate.
Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice
thereof to each such Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender's Revolving
Facility Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Facility
Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as
provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the
applicable Swingline Lender, such Revolving Facility Lender's Revolving Facility
Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Facility Lender
acknowledges and agrees that its respective obligation to acquire participations
in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and
shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence
and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and
that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding
or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Facility Lender shall comply with its
obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds,
in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by
such Revolving Facility Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis,
to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall
promptly pay to the applicable Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it
from the Revolving Facility Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the
applicable Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired
pursuant to this paragraph (c), and thereafter payments in respect of such
Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the
applicable Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by a Swingline Lender from the
applicable Borrower (or other party on behalf of such Borrower) in respect of a
Swingline Loan after receipt by such Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale
of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative
Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly
remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Facility Lenders that
shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to such Swingline
Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so
remitted shall be repaid to such Swingline Lender or to the Administrative
Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be
refunded to the applicable Borrower for any reason. The purchase of
participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve
the applicable Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

                  SECTION 2.05 Letters of Credit.

                  (a) General. Each Existing Letter of Credit shall, on the
Closing Date (if the issuer is an L/C Lender on the Closing Date) or on such
date thereafter and prior to June 30, 2004 that the issuer thereof first becomes
an L/C Lender, constitute a letter of credit issued hereunder for all purposes
of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall constitute a CL Letter
of Credit or RF Letter of Credit as specified on Schedule 2.05(a). In addition,
subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Term Borrower may
request the issuance of Dollar Letters of Credit and Euro Letters of Credit (x)
in the case of RF Letters of Credit, for its own account or for the account of
any of the other Revolving Borrowers and (y) in the case of CL Letters of
Credit, for the account of a CL Borrower (as specified in the related Request to
Issue if to be issued on or after the Restructuring Date), in each case in a
form reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from
time to time during the Revolving Availability Period and prior to the date that
is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Facility Maturity Date. All Letters
of Credit shall be issued on a sight basis only.

                                      -62-

                  (b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain
Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Term Borrower
shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if
arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) to
the applicable Issuing Bank, with a copy to the Administrative Agent at least
two Business Days (or such shorter period agreed to by the Issuing Bank) in
advance of the requested date of issuance a request in the form of Exhibit B-2
(a "Request to Issue") for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, which Request to
Issue shall specify, inter alia, whether the requested Letter of Credit is to be
a CL Letter of Credit or an RF Letter of Credit. If requested by the applicable
Issuing Bank, the Term Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application
on such Issuing Bank's standard form in connection with any request for a Letter
of Credit and in the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions
of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any such form of letter of
credit application, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. An
RF Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if after
giving effect thereto (i) the Revolving L/C Exposure shall not exceed
$75,000,000, (ii) the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure shall not exceed the
total Revolving Facility Commitments and (iii) the aggregate Revolving Facility
Credit Exposure with respect to any Revolving Borrower shall not exceed the
Maximum Credit Limit for such Revolving Borrower, and a CL Letter of Credit
shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if after giving effect
thereto the CL Exposure would not exceed the Total Credit-Linked Commitment at
such time, provided that no RF Letter of Credit shall be issued unless a CL
Letter of Credit could not be issued in lieu thereof, giving effect to the
aforesaid limitations. In the event that an RF Letter of Credit is outstanding
at a time when there is availability to support the issuance of a new CL Letter
of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in a stated amount at
least equal to the stated amount of such RF Letter of Credit, the Term Borrower
shall have the right, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent and the
respective Issuing Bank, to re-designate such RF Letter of Credit as a CL Letter
of Credit, in each case so long as (i) each such CL Letter of Credit may
otherwise be issued in accordance with, and will not violate, the above
limitations and requirements of this Section and (ii) the Term Borrower
certifies in writing to the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Bank
that the conditions specified in Sections 4.01(b) and (c) are then satisfied.
Upon satisfaction of the aforesaid conditions, (x) the respective Issuing Bank
shall re-designate the affected RF Letter of Credit as a CL Letter of Credit,
and (y) a new CL Letter of Credit shall be deemed issued at such time under this
Agreement. No Letter of Credit shall be issued, increased in stated amount, or
renewed or extended without the prior consent of the Administrative Agent, such
consent to be limited to the question of whether such issuance, increase,
renewal or extension is being effected on the terms and conditions of this
Agreement.

                  (c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or
prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the
date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or
extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date
that is five Business Days (or, in the case of a trade Letter of Credit, 30
days) prior to the Revolving Facility Maturity Date; provided that any standby
Letter of Credit may provide for the automatic renewal thereof for additional
one-year periods (which, in no event, shall extend beyond the date referred to
in clause (ii) of this paragraph (c)).

                  (d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or
an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without
any further action on the part of the

                                      -63-

applicable Issuing Bank or any Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants (x) if
such Letter of Credit is a CL Letter of Credit, to each CL Lender or (y) if such
Letter of Credit is an RF Letter of Credit to each Revolving Facility Lender
(and such CL Lender or Revolving Facility Lender, as the case may be, in its
capacity under this Section 2.05(d), a "Participant") and each such Participant
hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit
equal to such Lender's CL Percentage or Revolving Facility Percentage, as the
case may be, as in effect from time to time of the aggregate amount available to
be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the
foregoing, each Revolving Facility Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars or Euros, as the case may
be, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Lender's Revolving
Facility Percentage of each LC Disbursement made in respect of an RF Letter of
Credit and, in each case, not reimbursed by the Applicant Party on the date due
as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment
required to be refunded to the Applicant Party for any reason. Each Participant
acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant
to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional
and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any
amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and
continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and, in
the case of a Revolving Facility Lender, that each such payment shall be made
without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

                  (e) Reimbursement. If the applicable Issuing Bank shall make
any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Applicant
Party shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement by paying to the Administrative
Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement in Dollars or Euros, as the case
may be, not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day
immediately following the date the applicable Applicant Party receives notice
under paragraph (g) of this Section of such L/C Disbursement, provided that in
the case of any L/C Disbursement under an RF Letter of Credit issued for the
account of a Revolving Borrower, such Revolving Borrower may, subject to the
conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section
2.03 or 2.04 that such payment be financed (x) if a Dollar Letter of Credit,
with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Dollar Borrowing, as applicable, or
(y) if a Euro Letter of Credit, with a Swingline Euro Borrowing in each case, in
an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, such Revolving Borrower's
obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the
resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing, Swingline Dollar Borrowing or Swingline Euro
Borrowing, as the case may be. If the applicable Applicant Party fails to
reimburse any L/C Disbursement under an RF Letter of Credit when due, then the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Issuing Bank and each
relevant Participant of the applicable L/C Disbursement, the payment then due in
respect thereof and, in the case of each such Participant, such Participant's
Revolving Facility Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such
notice, each Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars or
Euros, as applicable, its Revolving Facility Percentage of the payment then due
from the applicable Applicant Party, in the same manner as provided in Section
2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply,
mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Participants), and the
Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank in
Dollars or Euros, as applicable, the amounts so received by it from such
Participants. In the event that an Issuing Lender makes any LC Disbursement
under any CL Letter of Credit issued by it and the respective CL Borrower shall

                                      -64-

not have reimbursed such amount in full to such Issuing Lender as provided above
and such Issuing Lender has notified the Administrative Agent thereof, each CL
Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to reimburse on
the date of (or if received after 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on such date, on the
Business Day following the date of) receipt by the Administrative Agent of such
notice such Issuing Lender for such amount solely by requesting the Deposit Bank
to withdraw such CL Lender's CL Percentage of the Credit-Linked Deposits on
deposit with the Deposit Bank in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account and to pay
same over to the Administrative Agent, the Deposit Bank hereby agreeing to
effect such a withdrawal and all other withdrawals and payments requested by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. All reimbursements
of Issuing Banks by Revolving Facility Lenders or CL Lenders (through
application of Credit-Linked Deposits) shall be made as provided herein
notwithstanding the occurrence of a CAM Exchange Date after the L/C Disbursement
and prior to such reimbursement. Promptly following receipt by the
Administrative Agent of any payment from the applicable Applicant Party pursuant
to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the
applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Participants have made payments
pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders
and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear (it being understood and
agreed that any such payment to be made pursuant to this Section 2.05(e) to a
Participant which is a CL Lender shall be made by such Issuing Lender to the
Administrative Agent for the account of such CL Lender and paid over to the
Deposit Bank for deposit in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account). Any payment made
by a Revolving Facility Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an
Issuing Bank for any L/C Disbursement (other than the funding of an ABR
Revolving Loan or a Swingline Dollar Borrowing as contemplated above) shall
constitute a Loan and no payment shall relieve the Applicant Party of its
obligation to reimburse each L/C Disbursement.

                  (f) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the applicable
Applicant Party to reimburse L/C Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of
this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be
performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and
all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or
enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or
provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of
Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any
statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by
the applicable Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a
draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of
Credit or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not
similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this
Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of
setoff against, the Applicant Party's obligations hereunder; provided that, in
each case, payment by the Issuing Bank shall not have constituted gross
negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final and nonappealable
decision of court of competent jurisdiction. Neither the Administrative Agent,
the Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have
any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance
or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any
payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the
preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in
transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or
relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a
drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any
consequence

                                      -65-

arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuing Bank; provided that the
foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the applicable Issuing Bank from
liability to an Applicant Party to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed
to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by each
Applicant Party to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by such
Applicant Party that are determined by a court having jurisdiction to have been
caused by (i) such Issuing Bank's failure to exercise care when determining
whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply
with the terms thereof or (ii) such Issuing Bank's refusal to issue a Letter of
Credit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The parties hereto
expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct
as determined by a final and nonappealable decision of court of competent
jurisdiction on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Issuing Bank shall
be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination and each refusal to
issue a Letter of Credit. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting
the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents
presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the
terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole
discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without
responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or
information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such
documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such
Letter of Credit.

                  (g) Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank
shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting
to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank
shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, the Applicant Party and the Term
Borrower (if the Term Borrower is not the Applicant Party) by telephone
(confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank
has made or will make a L/C Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure
to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Applicant Party of
its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Facility Lenders
with respect to any such L/C Disbursement.

                  (h) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any L/C
Disbursement, then, unless the applicable Applicant Party shall reimburse such
L/C Disbursement in full on the date such L/C Disbursement is made, the unpaid
amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date
such L/C Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the applicable
Applicant Party reimburses such L/C Disbursement, at the rate per annum then
applicable to ABR Revolving Loans provided that, in the case of a L/C
Disbursement made that is a Euro Letter of Credit, the amount of interest due
with respect thereto shall (A) be payable in Euros and (B) bear interest at a
rate equal to the rate reasonably determined by the applicable Issuing Bank to
be the cost to such Issuing Bank of funding such L/C Disbursement plus the
Applicable Margin applicable to Eurocurrency Revolving Loans at such time; and
provided, further, that, if such L/C Disbursement is not reimbursed by the
applicable Applicant Party when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section,
then Section 2.13(c) shall apply, with the rate per annum for L/C Disbursements
made in respect of a CL Letter of Credit from the date any payment is made to
the Issuing Lender on behalf of the CL Lenders shall be 2% in excess of the rate
per annum then applicable to ABR Term Loans. Interest accrued pursuant to this
paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that
interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Facility
Lender or by or on behalf of any CL Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this
Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account

                                      -66-

of such Revolving Facility Lender or CL Lender, as the case may be, to the
extent of such payment.

                  (i) Replacement of an Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may be
replaced at any time by written agreement among the Term Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank.
The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an
Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Term
Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced
Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12. From and after the effective date of any
such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and
obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to
Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term
"Issuing Bank" shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous
Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the
context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the
replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all
the rights and obligations of such Issuing Bank under this Agreement with
respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement but shall
not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

                  (j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall
occur and be continuing, (i) in the case of an Event of Default described in
Section 7.01(h) or (i), on the Business Day or (ii) in the case of any other
Event of Default, on the fifth Business Day, following the date on which the
Term Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent (or, if the maturity
of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Facility Lenders and/or CL Lenders
with Revolving L/C Exposure and/or CL Percentages representing greater than 50%
of the total Revolving L/C Exposure and total CL Percentages), as the case may
be, demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the
Term Borrower and, to the extent relating to CL Exposure, CAC (on a joint and
several basis with the Term Borrower) agree to deposit in an account with the
Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the
benefit of the Revolving Facility Lenders and the CL Lenders, an amount in
Dollars in cash equal to the Revolving L/C Exposure and/or CL Exposure as of
such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the
portion of such amount attributable to undrawn Euro Letters of Credit or L/C
Disbursements in Euros shall be deposited with the Administrative Agent in Euros
in the actual amounts of such undrawn Letters of Credit and L/C Disbursements.
The obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective
immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable in
Dollars or Euros, as applicable, without demand or other notice of any kind. The
applicable Applicant Party also shall deposit cash collateral pursuant to this
paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.11(b). Each such deposit
pursuant to this paragraph or pursuant to Section 2.11(b) shall be held by the
Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the
obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 2.05. The Administrative Agent
shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of
withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment
of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole
discretion of (i) for so long as an Event of Default shall be continuing, the
Administrative Agent and (ii) at any other time, the Term Borrower, in each
case, in Permitted Investments and at the risk and expense of the Term Borrower,
such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such
investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be
applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing

                                      -67-

Bank for L/C Disbursements for which such Issuing Bank has not been reimbursed
and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the
reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the Revolving L/C Exposure and CL
Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but
subject to the consent of Revolving Facility Lenders with Revolving L/C Exposure
representing greater than 50% of the total Revolving L/C Exposure and of CL
Lenders with CL Percentages aggregating more than 50%), be applied to satisfy
other obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. If an Applicant Party
is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the
occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as
aforesaid) shall be returned to such Applicant Party within three Business Days
after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. If a Borrower is required
to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.11(b),
such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such
Borrower as and to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, the
Borrowers would remain in compliance with Section 2.11(b) and no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

                  (k) Additional Issuing Banks. From time to time, the Term
Borrower may by notice to the Administrative Agent designate up to two Lenders
(in addition to DBNY and any Lender that is an issuer of Existing Letters of
Credit) that agree (in their sole discretion) to act in such capacity and are
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as Issuing Banks. Each such
additional Issuing Bank shall execute a counterpart of this Agreement upon the
approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld) and shall thereafter be an Issuing Bank hereunder for all purposes.

                  (l) Reporting. Promptly upon the issuance or amendment by it
of a standby Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank shall notify the Term Borrower
and the Administrative Agent, in writing, of such issuance or amendment and such
notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such issuance or amendment. Upon
receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender, in
writing, of such issuance or amendment, and if so requested by a Lender the
Administrative Agent shall provide such Lender with a copy of such issuance or
amendment. Each Issuing Bank shall on the first Business Day of each calendar
week during which any CL Letters of Credit and/or RF Letters of Credit issued by
such Issuing Bank are outstanding provide the Administrative Agent, by
facsimile, with a report detailing the aggregated daily outstandings of each
such Letter of Credit issued by it.

                  (m) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if,
after the Closing Date, any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for an Issuing
Bank to issue Letters of Credit denominated in Euros, then by prompt written
notice thereof to the L/C Borrowers and to the Administrative Agent (which
notice shall be withdrawn whenever such circumstances no longer exist), such
Issuing Bank may declare that Letters of Credit will not thereafter (for the
duration of such declaration) be issued by it in Euros.

                  SECTION 2.06 Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make
each Loan (other than CL Loans) to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date
thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, Local
Time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it
for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall
be made as provided in Section 2.04. Each CL Lender hereby irrevocably
authorizes the Administrative Agent to fund each CL Loan to be made by it
hereunder solely by

                                      -68-

requesting the Deposit Bank to withdraw such CL Lender's CL Percentage of the
Credit-Linked Deposits on deposit with the Deposit Bank in the Credit-Linked
Deposit Account and to pay same over to it. The Administrative Agent will make
the proceeds of funds made available to it pursuant to the two preceding
sentences available to the applicable Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts
so received, in like funds, to an account of the applicable Borrower maintained
with the Administrative Agent (i) in New York City, in the case of Loans
denominated in Dollars, or (ii) in London, in the case of Loans denominated in
Euros and designated by the applicable Borrower in the applicable Borrowing
Request; provided that ABR Revolving Loans, Swingline Dollar Borrowings and
Swingline Euro Borrowings made to finance the reimbursement of a L/C
Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the
Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank.

                  (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice
from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Revolving Facility
Loans and/or Term Loans 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 applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In
such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable
Borrowing of Revolving Facility Loans or Term Loans available to the
Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrower
severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand (without
duplication) such corresponding amount (with demand to be first made on such
Lender if legally possible) with interest thereon, for each day from and
including the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower to
but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the
case of such Lender, (x) the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate
determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules
on interbank compensation (in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars) or
(y) the rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be the cost to
it of funding such amount (in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Euros) or
(ii) in the case of the applicable Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR
Loans (in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars) or the rate reasonably
determined by the Administrative Agent to be the cost to it of funding such
amount (in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Euros). If such Lender pays
such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such
Lender's Loan included in such Borrowing.

                  SECTION 2.07 Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially
shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the
case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as
specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the applicable Borrower may
elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type, in the case of Borrowings
denominated in Dollars, or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a
Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in
this Section. The applicable Borrower may elect different options with respect
to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion
shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such
Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a
separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Euro Borrowings or
Swingline Dollar Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

                                      -69-

                  (b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the
applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by
telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section
2.03 if such Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type and denominated in
Euros 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 by hand delivery or telecopy to the
Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved
by the Administrative Agent and signed by the applicable Borrower.

                  (c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request
shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

                  (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) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR
         Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing; provided that the resulting
         Borrowing is required to be a Eurocurrency Borrowing in the case of a
         Borrowing denominated in Euros; 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 clause (a) of
         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 applicable 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 Lender to which such
Interest Election Request relates of the details thereof and of such Lender's
portion of each resulting Borrowing.

                  (e) If the applicable 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 a Eurocurrency Borrowing with an Interest Period of one
month's duration commencing on the last day of such Interest Period.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the written request
(including a request through electronic means) of the Required Lenders, so
notifies the applicable Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is
continuing (i) except as provided in clause (iii) below, no outstanding
Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing, (ii)
unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be
converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the

                                      -70-

Interest Period applicable thereto and (iii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency
Borrowing denominated in Euros shall be continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing
with an Interest Period of one month's duration.

                  SECTION 2.08 Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) All
Commitments shall terminate on the Early Termination Date should such Date
occur. Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Facility Commitments and the
Credit-Linked Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Facility Maturity
Date. The Term Loan Commitment of each Term Lender shall terminate on the date
of each incurrence of Term Loans in the amount of Term Loans made by it on such
date, and all remaining Term Loan Commitments will, unless previously
terminated, terminate at 5 p.m. New York City time on the six month anniversary
of the Closing Date.

                  (b) The Term Borrower (on behalf of itself and, in connection
with reductions to the Revolving Facility Commitments, all other Revolving
Borrowers) may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Revolving
Facility Commitments or the Term Loan Commitments, as the case may be; provided
that (i) each such reduction shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple
of $1.0 million and not less than $5.0 million (or, if less, the remaining
amount of the Revolving Facility Commitments or Term Loans Commitments, as the
case may be) and (ii) the Term Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the
Revolving Facility Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent
prepayment of the Revolving Facility Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the
Revolving Facility Credit Exposure would exceed the total Revolving Facility
Commitments.

                  (c) The Term Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of
any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Facility Commitments, Term
Loan Commitments and/or Credit-Linked Commitments under paragraph (b) or (d) of
this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such
termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date
thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent
shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice
delivered by the Term Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable;
provided that a notice of termination of the Revolving Facility Commitments,
Term Loan Commitments and/or Credit-Linked Commitments delivered by the Term
Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of
other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Term
Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified
effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction
of Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments under any
Facility shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their
respective Commitments under such Facility.

                  (d) The Term Borrower (on behalf of itself and CAC) shall have
the right, at any time or from time to time, without premium or penalty to
terminate the Total Unutilized Credit-Linked Commitment in whole, or reduce it
in part, in an integral multiple of $1.0 million and not less than $5.0 million
(or if less the remaining amount of the Credit-Linked Commitments) in the case
of partial reductions to the Total Unutilized Credit-Linked Commitment, provided
that each such reduction shall apply proportionately to permanently reduce the
Credit-Linked Commitment of each CL Lender. At the time of any termination or
reduction of the Total Credit-Linked Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.08(d)
or on the

                                      -71-

Revolving Facility Maturity Date, the Administrative Agent shall request the
Deposit Bank to withdraw from the Credit-Linked Deposit Account and to pay same
over to it, and shall return to the CL Lenders (ratably in accordance with their
respective CL Percentages) the CL Lenders' Credit-Linked Deposits in an
aggregate amount equal to such reduction or the amount of such Commitment being
terminated, as the case may be.

                  SECTION 2.09 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt, etc. (a)
The Term Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) on the Revolving
Facility Maturity Date in Euros or Dollars, as applicable, to the Administrative
Agent for the account of each Revolving Facility Lender the then unpaid
principal amount of each Revolving Facility Loan made to the Term Borrower and
(ii) in Dollars to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the
then unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan of such Lender as provided in
Section 2.10. Each CL Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay on the
Revolving Facility Maturity Date in Dollars to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each CL Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each CL Loan of
such CL Lender owing by such CL Borrower. Each Domestic Swingline Borrower
hereby unconditionally promises to pay in Dollars to each Swingline Lender the
then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan made to such Borrower on the
earlier of the Revolving Facility Maturity Date and the first date after such
Swingline Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and is
at least five Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on
each date that a Revolving Facility Borrowing is made by such Borrower, then
such Borrower shall repay all its Swingline Loans then outstanding. Each
Revolving Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay in Dollars (or in
Euros if the Revolving Facility Borrowing was made in Euros) to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Facility Lender the then
unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Facility Loan to such Borrower on the
Revolving Facility Maturity Date. Each Foreign Swingline Borrower hereby
unconditionally promises to pay in Euros to each Swingline Euro Lender the then
unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Euro Loan made by such Lender to such
Borrower on the earlier of the Revolving Facility Maturity Date and the last day
of the Interest Period applicable to such Swingline Euro Loan.

                  (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual
practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each 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.

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

                  (d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to
paragraph (b) or (c) 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 any Borrower
to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

                                      -72-

                  (e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced
by a promissory note. In such event, the applicable Borrower shall prepare,
execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of
such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered
assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the
Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times
(including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or
more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named
therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its
registered assigns).

                  (f) At the time of any termination of the Total Credit-Linked
Commitment pursuant to Section 2.08(a) or pursuant to Article VII, the
Administrative Agent shall request the Deposit Bank to withdraw from the
Credit-Linked Deposit Account and to pay same over to it, and shall return to
the CL Lenders (ratably in accordance with their respective CL Percentages), the
CL Lenders' Credit-Linked Deposits in an amount by which the aggregate amount of
the Credit-Linked Deposits at such time exceeds the aggregate CL L/C Exposure
(less unreimbursed L/C Disbursements included therein) at such time.

                  SECTION 2.10 Repayment of Term Loans. (a) Subject to
adjustment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, the Term Borrower shall
repay in Dollars Term Loans on (x) the last day of each of March, June,
September and December of each year (each such date being referred to as an
"Installment Date") following the six month anniversary of the Closing Date and
prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date in an amount equal to 1/4 of 1% of the then
Maximum Dollar Term Amount and (y) the Term Loan Maturity Date in an amount
equal to the remaining principal amount of the Term Loans.

                  (b) To the extent not previously paid, all Term Loans shall be
due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date.

                  (c) Prepayment of Term Loans from all Net Proceeds or Excess
Cash Flow pursuant to Section 2.11(c) or 2.11(d), respectively, shall be applied
among the Term Loans on a pro rata basis (and thereafter pro rata among each
Term Loan Borrowing being repaid) and shall be applied to reduce on a pro rata
basis (based on the amount of such amortization payments) the remaining
scheduled amortization payments in respect of the Term Loans.

                  (d) Any Lender holding Term Loans may elect, on not less than
two Business Days' prior written notice to the Administrative Agent with respect
to any mandatory prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.11(b) or 2.11(c), not to
have such prepayment applied to such Lender's Term Loans, in which case the
amount not so applied shall be retained by the Term Borrower (and applied as it
elects).

                  (e) Prior to any repayment of any Borrowing under any Facility
hereunder, the applicable Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings
under such Facility to be repaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by
telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such selection not later than 2:00 p.m.,
Local Time, (i) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, one Business Day before the
scheduled date of such repayment and (ii) in the case of a Eurocurrency
Borrowing, three Business Days before the scheduled date of such repayment. Each
repayment of a Borrowing (x) in the case of the Revolving Facility, shall be
applied to the Revolving Facility Loans included in the repaid Borrowing such
that each Revolving

                                      -73-

Facility Lender receives its ratable share of such repayment (based upon the
respective Revolving Facility Credit Exposures of the Revolving Facility Lenders
at the time of such repayment) and (y) in all other cases, shall be applied
ratably to the Loans included in the repaid Borrowing. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in the immediately preceding sentence, prior to any repayment of
a Swingline Dollar Borrowing or a Swingline Euro Borrowing hereunder, the
applicable Swingline Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be
repaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by
telecopy) of such selection not later than 1:00 p.m., Local Time, on the
scheduled date of such repayment. Except as provided in Section 2.13(d),
repayments of Borrowings shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount
repaid.

                  SECTION 2.11 Prepayments, etc. (a) The applicable Borrower
shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing
in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 2.16),
in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing
Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum or, if less, the amount
outstanding, subject to prior notice in accordance with Section 2.10(e),
provided that such optional prepayments of the Term Loans shall be applied to
reduce on a pro rata basis (based on the amount of such amortization payments)
the remaining scheduled amortization payments in respect of the Term Loans.

                  (b) In the event and on such occasion that the Revolving
Facility Credit Exposure exceeds (x) 105% of the total Revolving Facility
Commitments solely as a result of currency fluctuations or (y) the total
Revolving Facility Commitments (other than as a result of currency
fluctuations), the Borrowers under the Revolving Facility shall prepay Revolving
Facility Borrowings, Swingline Dollar Borrowings and/or Swingline Euro
Borrowings (or, if no such Borrowings are outstanding, deposit cash collateral
in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.05(k)) made to
such Borrowers, in an aggregate amount equal to the amount by which the
Revolving Facility Credit Exposure exceeds the total Revolving Facility
Commitments.

                  (c) Holdings and the Term Borrower shall apply all Net
Proceeds promptly upon receipt thereof to prepay Term Borrowings in accordance
with paragraph (c) of Section 2.10.

                  (d) Not later than 90 days after the end of each Excess Cash
Flow Period, Holdings shall calculate Excess Cash Flow for such Excess Cash Flow
Period and shall apply an amount equal to the Required Percentage of such Excess
Cash Flow to prepay Term Borrowings in accordance with paragraph (c) of Section
2.10. Not later than the date on which Holdings is required to deliver financial
statements with respect to the end of each Excess Cash Flow Period under Section
5.04(a), Holdings will deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate signed
by a Financial Officer of Holdings setting forth the amount, if any, of Excess
Cash Flow for such fiscal year and the calculation thereof in reasonable detail.

                  (e) On any day on which the aggregate CL Exposure exceeds the
Total Credit-Linked Commitment at such time, CAC (or after the Restructuring
Date, CAC and the Term Borrower on a joint and several basis) agrees to pay to
the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office on such day an amount of cash
and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount of

                                      -74-

such excess, such cash and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all
obligations of the respective CL Borrower to the Issuing Lenders and the CL
Lenders hereunder in respect of CL Letters of Credit in a cash collateral
account to be established by, and under the sole dominion and control of, the
Administrative Agent.

                  SECTION 2.12 Fees. (a) The Term Borrower (on behalf of itself
and the other Revolving Borrowers) agrees to pay to each Revolving Facility
Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), through the Administrative Agent, 10
Business Days after the last day of March, June, September and December in each
year, and three Business Days after the date on which the Revolving Facility
Commitments of all the Lenders shall be terminated as provided herein, a
commitment fee (a "RF Commitment Fee") in Dollars on the daily amount of the
Available Revolving Unused Commitment of such Lender during the preceding
quarter (or other period commencing with the Closing Date or ending with the
date on which the last of the Revolving Facility Commitment of such Lender shall
be terminated) at a rate equal to 0.75% per annum. All RF Commitment Fees shall
be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360
days. For the purpose of calculating any Lender's RF Commitment Fee, the
outstanding Swingline Loans during the period for which such Lender's RF
Commitment Fee is calculated shall be deemed to be zero. The RF Commitment Fee
due to each Lender shall commence to accrue on the Closing Date and shall cease
to accrue on the date on which the last of the Revolving Facility Commitments of
such Lender shall be terminated as provided herein.

                  (b) The Term Borrower (on behalf of itself and the other
Revolving Borrowers and/or CAC) from time to time agrees to pay (i) to each
Revolving Facility Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), through the
Administrative Agent, 10 Business Days after the last day of March, June,
September and December of each year and three Business Days after the date on
which the Revolving Facility Commitments of all the Lenders shall be terminated
as provided herein, a fee (an "L/C Participation Fee") in Dollars on such
Lender's Revolving Facility Percentage of the daily aggregate Revolving L/C
Exposure (excluding the portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed L/C
Disbursements), during the preceding quarter (or shorter period commencing with
the Closing Date or ending with the date on which the Revolving Facility
Commitments shall be terminated) at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable
Margin for Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowings effective for each day in such
period, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, (x) 10 Business Days
after the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and three
Business Days after the date on which the Revolving Facility Commitments of all
the Lenders shall be terminated as provided herein, a fronting fee in Dollars in
respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for the period from
and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the
termination of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate equal to 1/4 of 1% (1/8
of 1% in the case of CL Letters of Credit) per annum of the daily stated amount
of such Letter of Credit) (with the minimum annual fronting fee for each Letter
of Credit to be not less than $500) plus (y) in connection with the issuance,
amendment or transfer of any such Letter of Credit or any L/C Disbursement
thereunder, such Issuing Bank's customary documentary and processing charges
(collectively, "Issuing Bank Fees"). The Term Borrower and CAC, jointly and
severally, agree to pay to each CL Lender (based on each such CL Lender's CL
Percentage), through the Administrative Agent, a fee (the "CL Facility Fee")
equal to the sum of (I) a rate per annum equal to the Applicable CL Margin on
the aggregate amount of the Credit-Linked Deposits from time to time and (II) a
rate per annum equal to the Credit-Linked Deposit Cost Amount as in

                                      -75-

effect from time to time on the aggregate amount of the Credit-Linked Deposits
from time to time, in each case for the period from and including the Closing
Date to and including the date on which the Total Credit-Linked Commitment has
been terminated, the Credit-Linked Deposits have been returned to the CL Lenders
and all CL Letters of Credit have been terminated. Accrued CL Facility Fees
shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each CL Interest Payment Date
and on the date on which the Total Credit-Linked Commitment has been terminated,
the Credit-Linked Deposits have been returned to the CL Lenders and all CL
Letters of Credit have been terminated. All L/C Participation Fees and Issuing
Bank Fees that are payable on a per annum basis shall be computed on the basis
of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.

                  (c) The Term Borrower agrees to pay to each Term Lender (other
than any Defaulting Lender), through the Administrative Agent, 10 Business Days
after each last day of March, June, September and December and three Business
Days after the date on which the Term Loan Commitments of all the Lenders shall
be terminated as provided herein, a commitment fee (a "TL Commitment Fee") in
Dollars on the daily amount of the Term Loan Commitment of such Lender during
such preceding quarter (or other period commencing with the Closing Date or
ending with the date on which the last of the Term Loan Commitments of such
Lender shall be terminated) at a rate equal to 1.25% per annum. All TL
Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days
elapsed in a year of 360 days. The TL Commitment Fee due to each Lender shall
commence to accrue on the Closing Date and shall cease to accrue on the date on
which the last of the Term Loan Commitments of such Lender shall be terminated
as provided herein.

                  (d) The Term Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent, for the account of the Administrative Agent, the fees set forth in the
Fee Letter dated April 5, 2004, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise
modified from time to time, at the times specified therein (the "Administrative
Agent Fees").

                  (e) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately
available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as
appropriate, among the Lenders, except that Issuing Bank Fees shall be paid
directly to the applicable Issuing Banks. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be
refundable under any circumstances.

                  SECTION 2.13 Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR
Borrowing (including each Swingline Dollar Loan) shall bear interest at the
Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

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

                  (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or
interest on any Loan or any Fees or other amount payable by the applicable
Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon
acceleration or otherwise, such overdue principal amount shall bear interest,
and each such other overdue amount shall, to the extent permitted by law, bear
interest, in each case after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum
equal to (i) in the case

                                      -76-

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 (x) payable in Dollars, 2% plus the rate applicable to
Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section
or (y) payable in Euros, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to a Revolving
Loan denominated in Euros with a one-month Interest Period made on such date;
provided that this paragraph (c) shall not apply to any payment default that has
been waived by the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.08.

                  (d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears
(i) on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan, (ii) in the case of Revolving
Facility Loans, upon termination of the Revolving Facility Commitments and (iii)
in the case of the Term Loans, on the Term Loan Maturity Date; 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 or Swingline Dollar Loan prior to the end
of the Revolving Availability 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 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,
Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent,
and such determination shall be prima facie evidence thereof.

                  SECTION 2.14 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the
commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in
any currency:

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

                  (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Majority
          Lenders under a Facility that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate,
          as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly
          reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans
          included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers and the
Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and,
until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers 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 as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in such
currency shall be ineffective and such Borrowing shall be converted to or
continued as on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (A) if
such Borrowing is denominated in Dollars, an ABR

                                      -77-

Borrowing or (B) if such Borrowing is denominated in Euros, as a Borrowing
bearing interest at such rate as the Majority Lenders under the Revolving
Facility and the applicable Borrower shall agree adequately reflects the costs
to the Revolving Facility Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans, and (ii)
if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing in such currency,
such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing (if such Borrowing is requested
to be made in Dollars) or shall be made as a Borrowing bearing interest at such
rate as the Majority Lenders under the Revolving Facility shall agree adequately
reflects the costs to the Revolving Facility Lenders of making the Loans
comprising such Borrowing.

                  SECTION 2.15 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 (except any such
          reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate or those for
          which payment has been requested pursuant to Section 2.21) or Issuing
          Bank; or

                  (ii) impose on any Lender or Issuing Bank or the London
          interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement,
          Eurocurrency Loans or Swingline Euro Loans made by such Lender or any
          Letter of Credit or participation therein (except those for which
          payment has been requested pursuant to Section 2.21);

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 Swingline Euro Loan (or
of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to
such Lender or Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any
Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by
such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or
otherwise), in each case determined to be material by such Lender, then the
applicable Borrower (in the case of a Loan) or the applicable Applicant Party
(in the case of a Letter of Credit) will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as
applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or
Issuing Bank, as applicable, for such additional costs incurred or reduction
suffered.

                  (b) If any Lender or Issuing Bank 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 or Issuing Bank's capital or on the capital
of such Lender's or Issuing Bank's holding company, if any, as a consequence of
this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held
by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a
level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender's or such
Issuing Bank's holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law
(taking into consideration such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's policies and the
policies of such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's holding company with respect to
capital adequacy) and determined to be material by such Lender, then from time
to time the applicable Borrower (in the case of a Loan) or the applicable
Applicant Party (in the case of a Letter of Credit) shall pay to such Lender or
such Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender's or such Issuing
Bank's holding company for any such reduction suffered.

                                      -78-

                  (c) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth
the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its
holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this
Section (as well as reasonably detailed calculations thereof) shall be delivered
to the applicable Borrower (in the case of a Loan) or the applicable Applicant
Party (in the case of a Letter of Credit) and shall be prima facie evidence of
the amounts thereof. The applicable Borrower (in the case of a Loan) or the
applicable Applicant Party (in the case of a Letter of Credit) shall pay such
Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount shown as due on any such
certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

                  (d) Promptly after any Lender or any Issuing Bank has
determined that it will make a request for increased compensation pursuant to
this Section 2.15, such Lender or issuing Bank shall notify the applicable
Borrower thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to
demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of
such Lender's or Issuing Bank's right to demand such compensation; provided that
a Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank
pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more
than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable,
notifies such Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs
or reductions and of such Lender's or issuing Bank'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 2.16 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the
payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan or Swingline Euro 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 a Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then,
in any such event, such Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost
and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan or
Swingline Euro Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to
be the amount reasonably 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 Adjusted 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 a Eurocurrency Loan, 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 Euros of a comparable amount and period from other
banks in the Eurodollar market. 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 such Borrower and shall be prima facie evidence of
the amounts thereof. Such Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due
on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

                                      -79-

                  SECTION 2.17 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account
of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder shall be made free and clear of
and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if
a Loan Party 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) any Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank,
as applicable, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no
such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan Party shall make such deductions and
(iii) such Loan Party shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

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

                  (c) Each Loan Party shall indemnify the Agents, each Lender
and each Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the
full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by such Agent, Lender
or Issuing Bank, as applicable, on or with respect to any payment by or on
account of any obligation of such Loan Party hereunder (including Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable
under this Section) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with
respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were
correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.
A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to such
Loan Party by a Lender or an Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its
own behalf, on behalf of another Agent or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing
Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

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

                  (e) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or
reduction of withholding Tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a
Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with
respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to such Borrower (with a
copy to the Administrative Agent), to the extent such Lender is legally entitled
to do so, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly
completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as may
reasonably be requested by such Borrower to permit such payments to be made
without such withholding tax or at a reduced rate; provided that no Lender shall
have any obligation under this paragraph (e) with respect to any withholding Tax
imposed by any jurisdiction other than the United States if in the reasonable
judgment of such Lender such compliance would subject such Lender to any
material unreimbursed cost or expense or would otherwise be disadvantageous to
such Lender in any material respect.

                  (f) If an Agent or a Lender determines, in good faith and in
its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan Party or with respect
to which such Loan Party has paid additional

                                      -80-

amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to such
Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional
amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section 2.17 with respect to the
Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket
expenses of such Agent or such Lender (including any Taxes imposed with respect
to such refund) as is determined by the Agent or Lender in good faith and in its
sole discretion and without interest (other than any interest paid by the
relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that such
Loan Party, upon the request of such Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay as
soon as reasonably practicable the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any
penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental
Authority) to such Agent or such Lender in the event such Agent or such Lender
is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section
shall not be construed to require any Agent or any Lender to make available its
Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems
confidential) to the Loan Parties or any other Person.

                  SECTION 2.18 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing
of Set-offs. (a) Unless otherwise specified, each Borrower shall make each
payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest,
fees or reimbursement of L/C Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section
2.15, 2.16, 2.17 or 2.21, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., Local Time, on the
date when due, in immediately available funds, without condition or deduction
for any defense, recoupment, set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after
such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be
deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of
calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the
Administrative Agent to the applicable account designated to the Term Borrower
by the Administrative Agent, except payments to be made directly to the
applicable Issuing Bank or the applicable Swingline Lender as expressly provided
herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17, 2.21 and
9.05 shall be made directly to the persons entitled thereto. The Administrative
Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any
other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof or,
in the case of payments made prior to the Revolving Facility Maturity Date in
respect of CL Loans or of L/C Disbursements funded by CL Lenders from
Credit-Linked Deposits, the Administrative Agent shall deposit same in the
Credit-Linked Deposit Account. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day
that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next
succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest,
interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments
hereunder of (i) principal or interest in respect of any Loan shall be made in
the currency in which such Loan is denominated, (ii) reimbursement obligations
shall, subject to Sections 2.05(e) and 2.05(k), be made in the currency in which
the Letter of Credit in respect of which such reimbursement obligation exists is
denominated or (iii) any other amount due hereunder or under another Loan
Document shall be made in Dollars. Any payment required to be made by the
Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time
required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken
the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or
operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the
Administrative Agent to make such payment. Any amount payable by the
Administrative Agent to one or more Lenders in the national currency of a member
state of the European Union that has adopted the Euro as its lawful currency
shall be paid in Euros.

                                      -81-

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

                  (c) 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 Term Loans, Revolving Facility Loans or participations in
L/C Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment
of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Term Loans, Revolving
Facility Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans and
accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then
the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face
value) participations in the Term Loans, Revolving Facility Loans and
participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the
extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the
Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and
accrued interest on their respective Term Loans, Revolving Facility Loans and
participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if
any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment
giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the
purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and
(ii) the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall not be construed to apply to any
payment made by a Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms
of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the
assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations
in L/C Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to such Borrower
or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this
paragraph (c) shall apply).

                  (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice
from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing
Bank hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative
Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in
accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the
Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount due. In such
event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the
Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, severally agrees to repay
to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to
such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and
including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of
payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) the greater of the Federal Funds
Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance
with banking industry rules on interbank compensation (in the case of an amount
denominated in Dollars) and (ii) the rate reasonably determined by the
Administrative Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount (in the case of
an amount denominated in Euros).

                                      -82-

                  (e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to
be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c), 2.05(d) or (e), 2.06(b) or 2.18(d),
then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any
contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender's
obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully
paid.

                  SECTION 2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15 or 2.21, or if a
Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17,
then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending
office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and
obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in
the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would
eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15, 2.17 or 2.21, as
applicable, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any material
unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such
Lender in any material respect. Each 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 2.15 or
2.21, or if a Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or
any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section
2.17, or is a Defaulting Lender, then such 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) such Lender shall have received payment of an
amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in L/C
Disbursements and Swingline 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 such Borrower (in
the case of all other amounts) and (ii) in the case of any such assignment
resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or 2.21 or payments
required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a
reduction in such compensation or payments. Nothing in this Section 2.19 shall
be deemed to prejudice any rights that any Borrower may have against any Lender
that is a Defaulting Lender.

                  (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 9.08 requires the consent of all of the
Lenders affected and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have
granted their consent, then provided no Event of Default then exists, the Term
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 Obligations of Borrowers owing to such Non- Consenting Lender being replaced
(and all Credit-Linked Deposits funded by such Lender) 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 connec-

                                      -83-

tion with any such assignment the Term Borrower, Administrative Agent, such
Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with
Section 9.04.

                  SECTION 2.20 Revolving Borrowers. The Term Borrower may
designate after the Closing Date any Domestic Subsidiary of the Term Borrower
that is party to the U.S. Collateral Agreement and/or any Foreign Subsidiary of
the Term Borrower that is a Wholly Owned Subsidiary as an additional Revolving
Borrower, with a specified Maximum Credit Limit, by delivery to the
Administrative Agent of a Revolving Borrower Agreement executed by such
Subsidiary and the Term Borrower. It is agreed that Grupo Celanese S.A., if and
when designated by the Term Borrower as a Revolving Borrower, will have a
Maximum Credit Limit equal at any time to the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate
Revolving Facility Commitments at such time. Each such designation shall specify
whether such Subsidiary shall be entitled to make Borrowings under and/or
request Letters of Credit under the Revolving Facility, and each such
designation and specified Maximum Credit Limit shall be subject to the consent
of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld).
Upon the execution by the Term Borrower and delivery to the Administrative Agent
of a Revolving Borrower Termination with respect to any Revolving Borrower, such
Subsidiary shall cease to be a Revolving Borrower and a party to this Agreement
as a Revolving Borrower; provided that no Revolving Borrower Termination will
become effective as to any Revolving Borrower (other than to terminate such
Revolving Borrower's right to make further Borrowings under this Agreement) at a
time when any principal of or interest on any Loan to such Revolving Borrower or
any Letter of Credit for the account of such Revolving Borrower shall be
outstanding hereunder. Promptly following receipt of any Revolving Borrower
Agreement or Revolving Borrower Termination, the Administrative Agent shall send
a copy thereof to each Revolving Facility Lender. The Term Borrower shall be
entitled to designate any Foreign Subsidiary that complies with the requirements
described in Section 5.10(f) as a Revolving Borrower.

                  SECTION 2.21 Additional Reserve Costs. (a) For so long as any
Lender is required to make special deposits with the Bank of England and/or the
Financial Services Authority (or, in either case any other authority which
replaced all or any of its functions) and/or the European Central Bank or comply
with reserve assets, liquidity, cash margin or other requirements of the Bank of
England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case any other
authority which replaced all or any of its functions) and/or the European
Central Bank, to maintain reserve asset ratios or to pay fees, in each case in
respect of such Lender's Eurocurrency Loans or Swingline Euro Loans, such Lender
shall be entitled to require the applicable Borrower to pay, contemporaneously
with each payment of interest on each of such Loans, additional interest on such
Loan at a percentage rate per annum equal to the Mandatory Costs Rate calculated
in accordance with the formulae and in the manner set forth in Exhibit J hereto.

                  (b) Any additional interest owed pursuant to paragraph (a)
above shall be determined by the applicable Lender, which determination shall be
prima facie evidence of the amount thereof, and notified to the applicable
Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) at least 10 days before each
date on which interest is payable for the applicable Loan, and such additional
interest so notified to the applicable Borrower by such Lender shall be payable
to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender on each date on which
interest is payable for such Loan.

                                      -84-

                  SECTION 2.22 Increase in Term Loans.

                  (a) New Term Commitments. At any time prior to the first
anniversary of the Closing Date, the Term Borrower may by written notice to the
Administrative Agent elect to request an increase to the existing Term Loan
Commitments (any such increase, the "New Term Commitments") by an amount not in
excess of the Euro Equivalent on the Increased Amount Date of $175 million in
the aggregate to be used solely to consummate the Designated Acquisition (by, if
prior to the Restructuring Date, advancing the net cash proceeds thereof to CAC
as a CAC Loan in order to effect the Acquisition). Such notice shall (A) specify
the date (the "Increased Amount Date") on which the Term Borrower proposes that
the borrowing under the New Term Commitments be made, which shall be a date not
less than 10 Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to
the Administrative Agent and prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date,
and (B) offer each existing Term Lender the right to acquire New Term
Commitments on a pro rata basis. The Term Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent in writing of the identity of each Term Lender or other
financial institution reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (each, a
"New Term Lender") to whom the New Term Commitments have been (in accordance
with the prior sentence) allocated and the amounts of such allocations; provided
that any Lender approached to provide all or portion of the New Term Commitments
may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a New Term Commitment.
Term Loans in respect of the New Term Commitments ("New Term Loans") shall be
made on the Increased Amount Date; provided that (1) no Default or Event of
Default shall exist on the Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect
to such New Term Loans; and (2) such New Term Loan Commitments shall be
evidenced by one or more joinder agreements executed and delivered to the
Administrative Agent by each New Term Lender, as applicable, and each shall be
recorded in the register, each of which shall be subject to the requirements set
forth in Section 2.17(e).

                  (b) On the Increased Amount Date, subject to the satisfaction
of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each New Term Loan shall be deemed
for all purposes a Term Loan hereunder, (ii) each New Term Lender shall become a
Term Lender with respect to the Term Loans and all matters relating thereto,
(iii) the New Term Loans shall have the same terms as the existing Term Loans
and be made by each New Term Lender on the Increased Amount Date and (iv) upon
making the New Term Loans on the Increased Amount Date, the New Term Commitments
shall terminate. All New Term Loans made on any Increased Amount Date will be
made in accordance with the procedures set forth in Sections 2.02 and 2.03 and
subject to the conditions specified in Section 4.01.

                  (c) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders promptly
upon receipt of the Term Borrower's notice of the Increased Amount Date and, in
respect thereof, the New Term Commitments and the New Term Lenders.

                  SECTION 2.23 Illegality. (a) If any Lender reasonably
determines that it is unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted
that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make or
maintain any Revolving Facility Loan denominated in Euros or any Swingline Euro
Loan, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the applicable Borrower through
the Administrative Agent, any obligations of such Lender to make or continue
Revolving Facility Loans denominated in Euros or Swingline Euro Loans shall be
suspended

                                      -85-

until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower
that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon
any of such notice, the applicable Borrower shall upon demand from such Lender
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent) prepay such Revolving Facility Loan
denominated in Euros or Swingline Euro Loan. Upon any such prepayment, such
Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid.

                  (b) If any Lender reasonably determines that any change in law
has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the
Closing Date that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending
office to make or maintain any Eurocurrency Loans (other than as set forth in
paragraph (a) above), then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the applicable
Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligations of such Lender to
make or continue Eurocurrency Loans or to convert ABR Borrowings to Eurocurrency
Borrowings shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative
Agent and the applicable Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such
determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the applicable
Borrower shall upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), either (i) for Loans denominated in Euros (A) prepay each Loan
denominated in Euros or (B) keep such Loan denominated in Euros outstanding, in
which case the Adjusted LIBO Rate with respect to such Loan shall be deemed to
be the rate determined by such Lender as the all-in-cost of funds to fund such
Loan with maturities comparable to the Interest Period applicable thereto, or
(ii) for Loans denominated in Dollars, convert all Eurocurrency Borrowings of
such Lender to ABR Borrowings, either on the last day of the Interest Period
therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency
Borrowings to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue
to maintain such Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, such Borrower
shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

                                  ARTICLE III

                         Representations and Warranties

                  Each of Holdings and the Term Borrower represents and warrants
to each of the Lenders that:

3.02, could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a
Material Adverse Effect, or (iii) result in the creation or imposition of any
Lien upon or with respect to any material property or assets now owned or
hereafter acquired by Holdings, the Term Borrower or any such Subsidiary, other
than the Liens created by the Loan Documents.

                  SECTION 3.03 Enforceability. This Agreement has been duly
executed and delivered by Holdings and each Borrower and constitutes, and each
other Financing Document when executed and delivered by each Loan Party that is

rights generally, (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such

implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing.

                  SECTION 3.04 Governmental Approvals. No action, consent or

                  SECTION 3.05 Financial Statements. (a) Holdings has heretofore
furnished to the Lenders the audited consolidated balance sheet as of December
31, 2002 and the related audited consolidated statements of income and cash
flows of the Company and its subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2002
and the unaudited interim consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2003
and the related unaudited interim consolidated statements of income and cash
flows of the Company and its subsidiaries for the nine months ended September
30, 2003, which were prepared in accordance with US GAAP consistently applied
(except as may be

                                      -87-

indicated in the notes thereto), fairly present in all material respects the
consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of the
dates thereof and their consolidated results of operations and cash flows for
the period then ended (in the case of the unaudited interim statements, subject
to normal year-end adjustments and the absence of notes).

                  (b) Holdings has heretofore furnished to the Lenders its pro
forma consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2003 prepared giving effect
to the Transaction as if the Transaction had occurred on such date. Such pro
forma consolidated balance sheet (i) has been prepared in good faith based on
the assumptions believed by Holdings and the Term Borrower to have been
reasonable at the time made and to be reasonable as of the Closing Date (it
being understood that such assumptions are based on good faith estimates with
respect to certain items and that the actual amounts of such items on the
Closing Date is subject to variation and that purchase accounting will not have
been applied), (ii) subject to the assumptions and qualifications described
therein, accurately reflects all adjustments necessary to give effect to the
Transaction and (iii) subject to the assumptions and qualifications described
therein, presents fairly, in all material respects, the pro forma consolidated
financial position of Holdings and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of December
31, 2003, as if the Transaction had occurred on such date.

                  SECTION 3.06 No Material Adverse Effect. Since December 31,
2002 (but after giving effect to the Transaction) no Material Adverse Effect has
occurred.

                  SECTION 3.07 Title to Properties; Possession Under Leases. (a)
Each of Holdings, the Term Borrower and the Material Subsidiaries has good and
valid record fee simple title (insurable at ordinary rates) to, or valid
leasehold interests in, or easements or other limited property interests in, all
its properties and assets (including all Mortgaged Properties), except where the
failure to have such title could not reasonably be expected to have,
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. All such properties
and assets are free and clear of Liens, other than Liens expressly permitted by
Section 6.02 or arising by operation of law.

                  (b) Each of Holdings, the Term Borrower and the Material
Subsidiaries has complied with all obligations under all leases to which it is a
party, except where the failure to comply would not have a Material Adverse
Effect, and all such leases are in full force and effect, except leases in
respect of which the failure to be in full force and effect could not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of Holdings, the Term
Borrower and each of the Material Subsidiaries enjoys peaceful and undisturbed
possession under all such leases, other than leases in respect of which the
failure to enjoy peaceful and undisturbed possession could not reasonably be
expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

                  (c) Each of Holdings, the Term Borrower and the Material
Subsidiaries owns or possesses, or could obtain ownership or possession of, on
terms not materially adverse to it, all patents, trademarks, service marks,
trade names, copyrights, licenses and rights with respect thereto necessary for
the present conduct of its business, without any known conflict with the rights
of others, and free from any burdensome restrictions, except where such
conflicts and restrictions could not reasonably be expected to have,
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

                  (d) As of the Closing Date, none of Holdings, the Term
Borrower and the Material Subsidiaries has received any notice of any pending or
contemplated condemnation proceeding affecting any of the Mortgaged Properties
or any sale or disposition thereof in lieu of condemnation that remains
unresolved as of the Closing Date.

                  (e) None of Holdings, the Term Borrower and the Material
Subsidiaries is obligated on the Closing Date under any right of first refusal,
option or other contractual right to sell, assign or otherwise dispose of any
Mortgaged Property or any interest therein, except as permitted under Section
6.02 or 6.05.

Subsidiaries is in all material respects as set forth on Schedule 3.08(a) and on
the Restructuring Date, after giving effect to the Restructuring, the corporate
structure of Holdings and its Subsidiaries shall be in all material respects as
set forth on a Schedule delivered to the Lenders prior to the Restructuring
Date, such Schedule, to the extent it contains changes to the structure set
forth on Schedule 3.08(a) not provided for in the definition of "Restructuring"
or expressly permitted by Section 6.08(b), to be reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent.

name and jurisdiction of incorporation, formation or organization of each
Material Subsidiary and, as to each such Material Subsidiary, the percentage of
each class of Equity Interests owned by Holdings or by any such Material

Administrative Agent.

                  (c) As of the Closing Date, there are no outstanding
subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, rights or other similar agreements or
commitments (other than stock options granted to employees or directors and
directors' qualifying shares) of any nature relating to any Equity Interests of
Holdings, the Term Borrower, the Company or any of the Material Subsidiaries,
except as set forth on Schedule 3.08(c).

                  (d) Except to the extent, if any, specified for a subsidiary
in Schedule 1.01(h), each subsidiary listed on Schedule 1.01(h) owns no property
other than any de minimus assets and conducts no business other than de minimus
business.

                  SECTION 3.09 Litigation; Compliance with Laws. (a) Except as
set forth on Schedule 3.09, there are no actions, suits, investigations or
proceedings at law or in equity or by or on behalf of any Governmental Authority
or in arbitration now pending, or, to the knowledge of Holdings or the Term
Borrower, threatened in writing against or affecting Holdings or the Term
Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries or any business, property or rights of any
such person which could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the
aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect or materially adversely affect the
Transaction.

                  (b) None of Holdings, the Term Borrower, the Material
Subsidiaries and their respective properties or assets is in violation of (nor
will the continued operation of their material properties and assets as
currently conducted violate) any law, rule or regulation (including any zoning,
building, Environmental Law, ordinance, code or approval or any building permit)
or

                                      -89-

any restriction of record or agreement affecting any Mortgaged Property, or
is in default with respect to any judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any
Governmental Authority, where such violation or default could reasonably be
expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

                  SECTION 3.10 Federal Reserve Regulations. (a) None of
Holdings, the Term Borrower and their Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as
one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the
purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock.

                  (b) No part of the proceeds of any Loan or of the Senior
Subordinated Bridge B Loans or the Senior Subordinated Bridge C Loans will be
used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or
ultimately, for any purpose that entails a violation of, or that is inconsistent
with, the provisions of the Regulations of the Board, including Regulation U or
Regulation X.

                  SECTION 3.11 Investment Company Act; Public Utility Holding
Company Act. None of Holdings, the Term Borrower and their Subsidiaries is (a)
an "investment company" as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the

defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Public Utility Holding Company
Act of 1935, as amended.

                  SECTION 3.12 Use of Proceeds. The Revolving Borrowers will
only incur Revolving Facility Loans on the Closing Date to repay outstanding
Indebtedness permitted to be outstanding pursuant to clause (vii) under the
heading "Conditions" in the Offer Document and not repaid with cash on hand or
repaid (or to be repaid) with the proceeds of CAC Loans (to the extent CAC Loans
may be made to effect Refinancings). The respective Borrowers will use the
proceeds of subsequent incurred Revolving Facility Loans, Swingline Loans and CL
Loans and the issuance of Letters of Credit solely for general corporate
purposes; provided that Letters of Credit may not be issued in support of
Indebtedness permitted under Section 6.01(y). The Term Borrower will use the
proceeds of Term Loans (net of a portion of such proceeds used to satisfy fees
and expenses (which shall not exceed the Dollar Equivalent on the Closing Date
of (eurodollar)25 million to the extent relating to the Transaction) and other
than the net cash proceeds of Term Loans incurred pursuant to Section 2.22,
which will be used as provided therein) on the date incurred (or the next
Business Day) to fund CAC Loans, and CAC will use the proceeds of the CAC Loans
for liquidity purposes (but not in excess of the Dollar Equivalent on the
Closing Date of (eurodollar)50 million of such proceeds may be used for such
purposes) and to effect on the date received Pension Prefundings and/or
Refinancings.

                  SECTION 3.13 Tax Returns. Except as set forth on Schedule
3.13:

                  (a) each of Holdings, the Term Borrower and the Material
          Subsidiaries (i) has timely filed or caused to be timely filed all
          federal, state, local and non-U.S. Tax returns required to have been
          filed by it that are material to such companies taken as a whole and
          each such Tax return is true and correct in all material respects and
          (ii) has timely paid or caused to be timely paid all material Taxes
          shown thereon to be due and payable by it and all other material Taxes
          or assessments, except Taxes or assessments that are being contested
          in good faith by appropriate proceedings in accordance with Section
          5.03 and

                                      -90-

          for which Holdings, the Term Borrower or any of the Material
          Subsidiaries (as the case may be) has set aside on its books adequate
          reserves;

                  (b) each of Holdings, the Term Borrower and the Material
          Subsidiaries has paid in full or made adequate provision (in
          accordance with US GAAP) for the payment of all Taxes due with respect
          to all periods or portions thereof ending on or before the Closing
          Date, which Taxes, if not paid or adequately provided for, could
          reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and

                  (c) as of the Closing Date, with respect to each of Holdings,
          the Term Borrower and their Material Subsidiaries, (i) there are no
          material audits, investigations or claims being asserted in writing
          with respect to any Taxes, (ii) no presently effective waivers or
          extensions of statutes of limitation with respect to Taxes have been
          given or requested and (iii) no material Tax returns are being
          examined by, and no written notification of intention to examine has
          been received from, the Internal Revenue Service or, with respect to
          any material potential Tax liability, any other Taxing authority.

                  SECTION 3.14 No Material Misstatements. (a) All written
information (other than the Projections, estimates and information of a general
economic nature) (the "Information") concerning Holdings, the Term Borrower,
their Subsidiaries, the Transaction and any other transactions contemplated
hereby included in the Offer Document and/or (after the preparation and delivery
thereof) the Information Memorandum or otherwise prepared by or on behalf of the
foregoing or their representatives and made available to any Lenders or the
Administrative Agent in connection with the Transaction (as such information may
have been supplemented in writing prior to the Closing Date) or the other
transactions contemplated hereby, when taken as a whole, were true and correct
in all material respects, as of the date such Information was furnished to the
Lenders and (in the case of such Information delivered prior to the Closing
Date) as of the Closing Date and did not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact as of any such date or omit to state a material fact necessary in
order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in
light of the circumstances under which such statements were made.

                  (b) The Projections and estimates and information of a general
economic nature prepared by or on behalf of the Term Borrower or any of its
representatives and that have been made available to any Lenders or the
Administrative Agent in connection with the Transactions or the other
transactions contemplated hereby (i) have been prepared in good faith based upon
assumptions believed by the Term Borrower to be reasonable as of the date
thereof and as of the Closing Date, and (ii) as of the Closing Date, have not
been modified in any material respect by the Term Borrower.

                  SECTION 3.15 Employee Benefit Plans. (a) Each of the
Borrowers, Holdings, the Material Subsidiaries and the ERISA Affiliates is in
compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the provisions of the
Code relating to Plans and the regulations and published interpretations
thereunder and any similar applicable non-U.S. law, except for such
noncompliance that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. No Reportable Event has occurred during the past five years as to which
the Borrowers, Holdings, any of the Material Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate
was required to file a report with the

                                      -91-

PBGC, other than reports that have been filed and reports the failure of which
to file could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. As
of the Closing Date, the excess of the present value of all benefit liabilities
under each Plan of the Borrowers, Holdings, the Material Subsidiaries and the
ERISA Affiliates (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plan), as of the
last annual valuation date applicable thereto for which a valuation is
available, over the value of the assets of such Plan could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and the excess of the present value
of all benefit liabilities of all underfunded Plans (based on those assumptions
used to fund each such Plan) as of the last annual valuation dates applicable
thereto for which valuations are available, over the value of the assets of all
such under funded Plans could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur
that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events which have occurred
or for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Borrowers,
Holdings, the Material Subsidiaries and the ERISA Affiliates has received any
written notification that any Multiemployer Plan is in reorganization or has
been terminated within the meaning of Title IV of ERISA, or has knowledge that
any Multiemployer Plan is reasonably expected to be in reorganization or to be
terminated, where such reorganization or termination has had or could reasonably
be expected to have, through increases in the contributions required to be made
to such Plan or otherwise, a Material Adverse Effect.

                  (b) Each of Holdings, the Term Borrower and the Material
Subsidiaries is in compliance (i) with all applicable provisions of law and all
applicable regulations and published interpretations thereunder with respect to
any employee pension benefit plan or other employee benefit plan governed by the
laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States and (ii) with the terms of
any such plan, except, in each case, for such noncompliance that could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                  SECTION 3.16 Environmental Matters. Except as disclosed in
Schedule 3.16 and except as to matters that could not reasonably be expected to
have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect (i) no written
notice, request for information, order, complaint or penalty has been received
by the Term Borrower or any of the Material Subsidiaries relating to the Term
Borrower or any of the Material Subsidiaries, and there are no judicial,
administrative or other actions, suits or proceedings relating to the Term
Borrower or any of the Material Subsidiaries pending or, to the knowledge of
Term Borrower, threatened which allege a violation of or liability under any
Environmental Laws, (ii) each of the Term Borrower and the Material Subsidiaries
has all environmental permits necessary for its current operations to comply
with all applicable Environmental Laws and is, and since January 1, 2001 has
been, in compliance with the terms of such permits and with all other applicable
Environmental Laws, (iii) there has been no written environmental audit
conducted since January 1, 2000 by the Term Borrower or any of the Material
Subsidiaries of any property currently owned or leased by the Term Borrower or
any of the Material Subsidiaries which has not been made available to the
Administrative Agent prior to the date hereof, (iv) no Hazardous Material is
located at any property currently owned, operated or leased by the Term Borrower
or any of the Material Subsidiaries that would reasonably be expected to give
rise to any cost, liability or obligation of the Term Borrower or any of the
Material Subsidiaries under any Environmental Laws, and no Hazardous Material
has been generated, owned or controlled by the Term Borrower or any of the
Material Subsidiaries and transported to or released at any location in a manner
that would

                                      -92-

reasonably be expected to give rise to any cost, liability or obligation of the
Term Borrower or any of the Material Subsidiaries under any Environmental Laws,
and (v) there are no acquisition agreements entered into after December 31, 2000
in which the Term Borrower or any of the Material Subsidiaries has expressly
assumed or undertaken responsibility for any liability or obligation of any
other Person arising under or relating to Environmental Laws, which in any such
case has not been made available to the Administrative Agent prior to the date
hereof.

                  SECTION 3.17 Security Documents. (a) Each of the Security
Documents described in Part I of Schedule 1.01(a) will as of the Closing Date be
effective, and each of the Security Documents described in Part II of Schedule
1.01(a) will as of the Restructuring Date be effective, to create in favor of
the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) a legal, valid and
enforceable security interest in the Collateral described therein (subject to
any limitations specified therein). In the case of the Pledged Collateral
described in any of such Security Documents the security interest in which is
perfected by delivery thereof, when certificates or promissory notes, as
applicable, representing such Pledged Collateral are delivered to the Collateral
Agent, and in the case of the other Collateral described in any such Security
Document (other than the Intellectual Property (as defined in the U.S.
Collateral Agreement)), when financing statements and other filings specified on
Schedule 6 of the Perfection Certificate in appropriate form are filed in the
offices specified on Schedule 7 of the Perfection Certificate, the Collateral
Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) shall have a fully perfected Lien
on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties
in such Collateral, as security for the Obligations secured thereby, in each
case prior and superior in right to any other person (except, in the case of
Collateral other than Pledged Collateral, Liens expressly permitted by Section
6.02 and Liens having priority by operation of law).

                  (b) When the U.S. Collateral Agreement or a summary thereof is
properly filed in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United
States Copyright Office, and, with respect to Collateral in which a security
interest cannot be perfected by such filings, upon the proper filing of the
financing statements referred to in paragraph (a) above, the Collateral Agent
(for the benefit of the Secured Parties) shall have a fully perfected Lien on,
and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties
thereunder in the Intellectual Property, in each case prior and superior in
right to any other person except Liens expressly permitted by Section 6.02 and
Liens having priority by operation of law (it being understood that subsequent
recordings in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United
States Copyright Office may be necessary to perfect a lien on registered
trademarks and patents, trademark and patent applications and registered
copyrights acquired by the grantors after the Closing Date).

                  (c) Each Foreign Pledge Agreement will be effective to create
in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a
legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral described
therein. In the case of the Pledged Collateral described in a Foreign Pledge
Agreement, the security interest in which is perfected by delivery thereof, when
certificates or promissory notes, as applicable, representing such Pledged
Collateral are delivered to the Collateral Agent, and, in the case of all other
Collateral provided for therein, when filings or recordings are made in the
appropriate offices in each relevant jurisdiction and the other actions, if any,
specified in such Foreign Pledge Agreement are taken, the Collateral Agent (for
the benefit of the Secured Parties) shall have a fully perfected Lien on, and
security interest in,

                                      -93-

all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral, as
security for the Obligations secured thereby, in each case prior and superior in
right to any other person (except, in the case of Collateral other than Pledged
Collateral, Liens expressly permitted by Section 6.02 and Liens having priority
by operation of law).

                  (d) The Mortgages set forth on Schedule 5.14 executed and
delivered on or after the Closing Date pursuant to Section 5.14 and the
Mortgages executed and delivered after the Closing Date pursuant to Section 5.10
shall be effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit
of the Secured Parties) a legal, valid and enforceable Lien on all of the Loan
Parties' right, title and interest in and to the Mortgaged Property thereunder
and the proceeds thereof, and when such Mortgages are filed or recorded in the
proper real estate filing or recording offices, the Collateral Agent (for the
benefit of the Secured Parties) shall have a fully perfected Lien on, and
security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such
Mortgaged Property and, to the extent applicable, subject to Section 9-315 of
the Uniform Commercial Code, the proceeds thereof, in each case prior and
superior in right to any other Person, other than with respect to the rights of
a Person pursuant to Liens expressly permitted by Section 6.02(a) and Liens
having priority by operation of law.

                  SECTION 3.18 Location of Real Property and Leased Premises.
(a) Schedule 8 to the Perfection Certificate lists completely and correctly as
of the Closing Date all material real property owned by Holdings, the Term
Borrower and the Domestic Subsidiary Loan Parties and the addresses thereof. As
of the Closing Date, Holdings, the Term Borrower and the Domestic Subsidiaries
own in fee all the real property set forth as being owned by them on such
Schedule.

                  (b) Schedule 8 to the Perfection Certificate lists completely
and correctly as of the Closing Date all material real property leased by
Holdings, the Term Borrower and the Domestic Subsidiary Loan Parties and the
addresses thereof. As of the Closing Date, Holdings, the Term Borrower and the
Domestic Subsidiary Loan Parties have valid leases in all the real property set
forth as being leased by them on such Schedule.

                  SECTION 3.19 Solvency. (A) (a) Both (x) immediately after
giving effect to the Transaction and (y) on the Restructuring Date (i) the fair
value of the assets of Holdings and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, at
a fair valuation, will exceed the debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated,
contingent or otherwise, of Holdings and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated
basis; (ii) the present fair saleable value of the property of Holdings and its
Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be greater than the amount that will
be required to pay the probable liability of Holdings and its Subsidiaries on a
consolidated basis on their debts and other liabilities, direct, subordinated,
contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and
matured; (iii) Holdings and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be
able to pay their debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or
otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; and (iv)
Holdings and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will not have unreasonably
small capital with which to conduct the businesses in which they are engaged as
such businesses are now conducted and are proposed to be conducted following the
Closing Date and (B) after giving effect to the Transaction and prior to the
Restructuring Date, Parent (x) has not ceased, and does not expect that it will
cease, making payments on its liabilities when due and (y) can, and expects that
it can, obtain credit in the ordinary course of business.

                                      -94-

                  (b) Neither Holdings nor the Term Borrower intends to, and
does not believe that it or any of the Material Subsidiaries will, incur debts
beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature, taking into account the
timing and amounts of cash to be received by it or any such subsidiary and the
timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its Indebtedness or
the Indebtedness of any such subsidiary.

                  SECTION 3.20 Labor Matters. There are no strikes pending or
threatened against Holdings, the Term Borrower or any of the Material
Subsidiaries that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The hours worked and payments made
to employees of Holdings, the Term Borrower and the Material Subsidiaries have
not been in violation in any material respect of the Fair Labor Standards Act or
any other applicable law dealing with such matters. All material payments due
from Holdings, the Term Borrower or any of the Material Subsidiaries or for
which any claim may be made against Holdings, the Term Borrower or any of the
Material Subsidiaries, on account of wages and employee health and welfare
insurance and other benefits have been paid or accrued as a liability on the
books of Holdings, the Term Borrower or such Material Subsidiary to the extent
required by US GAAP. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.20, consummation of the
Transaction will not give rise to a right of termination or right of
renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement
to which Holdings, the Term Borrower or any of the Material Subsidiaries (or any
predecessor) is a party or by which Holdings, the Term Borrower or any of the
Material Subsidiaries (or any predecessor) is bound, other than collective
bargaining agreements that, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                  SECTION 3.21 Insurance. Schedule 3.21 sets forth a true,
complete and correct description of all material insurance maintained by or on
behalf of Holdings, the Term Borrower or the Material Subsidiaries as of the
Closing Date. As of the Closing Date, such insurance is in full force and
effect. The Term Borrower believes that the insurance maintained by or on behalf
of Holdings, the Term Borrower and the Material Subsidiaries is adequate.

                                   ARTICLE IV

          increases the stated amount of such Letter of Credit, as applicable,
          with the same effect as though made on and as of such date, except to
          the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an

                  (c) At the time of and immediately after such Borrowing or

                  (b) The Administrative Agent shall have received, on behalf of
          itself, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and each Issuing Bank on the

          Borrower hereby instructs its counsel to deliver such opinions.

                                      -96-

                  Each of Holdings and the Term Borrower covenants and agrees
with each Lender that so long as this Agreement shall remain in effect and until
the Commitments have been terminated and the principal of and interest on each
Loan, all Fees and all other expenses or amounts payable under any Loan Document
shall have been paid in full and all Letters of Credit have been canceled or
have expired and all amounts drawn thereunder have been reimbursed in full,
unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise consent in writing, each of Holdings
and the Term Borrower will, and (other than Sections 5.04 and 5.05) will cause
each of the Material Subsidiaries to:

                  SECTION 5.01 Existence; Businesses and Properties. (a) Do or
cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force
and effect its legal existence, except as otherwise expressly permitted under
Section 6.05, and except for the liquidation or dissolution of Subsidiaries if
the assets of such Subsidiaries to the extent they exceed estimated liabilities
are acquired by a Borrower or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of a Borrower in such
liquidation or dissolution; provided that Subsidiaries that are Loan Parties may
not be liquidated into Subsidiaries that are not Loan Parties and Domestic
Subsidiaries may not be liquidated into Foreign Subsidiaries.

                  (b) Do or cause to be done all things necessary to (i) obtain,
preserve, renew, extend and keep in full force and effect the permits,
franchises, authorizations, patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names,

to the normal conduct of its business, (ii) comply in all material respects with
all material applicable laws, rules, regulations (including any zoning,
building, ordinance, code or approval or any building permits or any
restrictions of record or agreements affecting the Mortgaged Properties) and
material judgments, writs, injunctions, decrees and orders of any Governmental
Authority, whether now in effect or hereafter enacted, and (iii) at all times
maintain and preserve all property necessary to the normal conduct of its
business and keep such property in good repair, working order and condition and
from time to time make, or cause to be made, all needful and proper repairs,
renewals, additions, improvements and replacements thereto necessary in order
that the business carried on in connection therewith, if any, may be properly
conducted at all times (in each case except as expressly permitted by this
Agreement).

                  SECTION 5.02 Insurance. (a) Keep its insurable properties
insured at all times by financially sound and reputable insurers in such amounts
as shall be customary for similar businesses and maintain such other reasonable
insurance (including, to the extent consistent with past practices,
self-insurance), of such types, to such extent and against such risks, as is
customary with companies in the same or similar businesses and maintain such
other insurance as may be required by law or any Mortgage.

                  (b) Cause all such property and casualty insurance policies
with respect to the Mortgaged Properties to be endorsed or otherwise amended to
include a "standard" or "New York" lender's loss payable endorsement, in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent, which endorsement shall provide that, from and after the
Closing Date, if the insurance carrier shall have received written notice from
the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent of the occurrence of an Event
of Default, the insurance carrier shall pay all proceeds otherwise payable to
any Loan Party under such policies directly to the Collateral Agent; cause all
such policies to provide that neither the Term Borrower, the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent nor any other party shall be a coinsurer thereunder
and to contain a "Replacement Cost Endorsement," without any deduction for
depreciation, and such other provisions as the Administrative Agent or the
Collateral Agent may reasonably (in light of a Default or a material development
in respect of the insured Mortgaged Property) require from time to time to
protect their interests; deliver original or certified copies of all such
policies or a certificate of an insurance broker to the Collateral Agent.

                  (c) If at any time the area in which the Premises (as defined
in the Mortgages) are located is designated a "flood hazard area" in any Flood
Insurance Rate Map published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (or any
successor agency), obtain flood insurance in such reasonable total amount as the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably
require, and otherwise comply with the National Flood Insurance Program as set
forth in the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as it may be amended from
time to time.

                  (d) With respect to each Mortgaged Property, carry and
maintain comprehensive general liability insurance including the "broad form CGL
endorsement" and coverage on a "claims-made" occurrence basis against claims
made for personal injury (including bodily injury, death and property damage)
and umbrella liability insurance against any and all claims, in each case in
amounts and against such risks as are customarily maintained by companies
engaged in the same or similar industry operating in the same or similar
locations naming the Collateral

                                     -101-

Agent as an additional insured in respect of such Mortgaged Property, on forms
reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

                  (e) Notify the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent
promptly whenever any separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in
the event of loss with that required to be maintained under this Section 5.02 is
taken out by Holdings, the Term Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries; and
promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent a
duplicate original copy of such policy or policies, or an insurance certificate
with respect thereto.

                  (f) In connection with the covenants set forth in this Section
5.02, it is understood and agreed that:

                  (i) none of the Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and
         their respective agents or employees shall be liable for any loss or
         damage insured by the insurance policies required to be maintained
         under this Section 5.02, it being understood that (A) the Term Borrower
         and the other Loan Parties shall look solely to their insurance
         companies or any other parties other than the aforesaid parties for the
         recovery of such loss or damage and (B) such insurance companies shall
         have no rights of subrogation against the Agents, the Lenders, any
         Issuing Bank or their agents or employees. If, however, the insurance
         policies do not provide waiver of subrogation rights against such
         parties, as required above, then each of Holdings, and the Term
         Borrower hereby agree, to the extent permitted by law, to waive, and to
         cause each of their Subsidiaries to waive, its right of recovery, if
         any, against the Agents, the Lenders, any Issuing Bank and their agents
         and employees; and

                  (ii) the designation of any form, type or amount of insurance
         coverage by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent under this
         Section 5.02 shall in no event be deemed a representation, warranty or
         advice by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Lenders
         that such insurance is adequate for the purposes of the business of
         Holdings, the Term Borrower and their Subsidiaries or the protection of
         their properties.

                  SECTION 5.03 Taxes. Pay and discharge promptly when due all
material Taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon it
or upon its income or profits or in respect of its property, before the same
shall become delinquent or in default, as well as all lawful claims for labor,
materials and supplies or otherwise that, if unpaid, might give rise to a Lien
upon such properties or any part thereof; provided, however, that such payment
and discharge shall not be required with respect to any such Tax, assessment,
charge, levy or claim so long as the validity or amount thereof shall be
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, and Holdings, the Term
Borrower or the affected Subsidiary, as applicable, shall have set aside on its
books reserves in accordance with US GAAP with respect thereto.

                  SECTION 5.04 Financial Statements, Reports, etc. Furnish to
the Administrative Agent (which will furnish such information to the Lenders):

following such change to have a valid, legal and perfected security interest in

offer to purchase any Senior Subordinated Bridge B Loans, Senior Subordinated
Bridge C Loans or Senior Subordinated Notes, as applicable, then, in the case of

Loans in accordance with Section 2.11 or (ii) acquire assets, Equity Interests
or other securities in a manner that is permitted by Section 6.04 or Section

         priority required by this Agreement or the relevant Security Document)
         in the securities, assets or properties covered thereby, except to the
         extent that any such loss of perfection or priority results from the

         actually delivered to it representing securities pledged under the
         Collateral Agreements or to file Uniform Commercial Code continuation
         statements and except to the extent that such loss is covered by a

then, subject to Sections 7.02 and/or 7.03, and in every such event (other than
an event with respect to a Borrower described in paragraph (h) or (i) above),
and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the
Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders,

                                     -132-

shall, by notice to the Borrowers, take any or all of the following actions, at
the same or different times: (i) terminate forthwith the Commitments, (ii)
declare the Loans then outstanding to be forthwith due and payable in whole or
in part, whereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable,
together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other
liabilities of the Borrowers accrued hereunder and under any other Loan
Document, shall become forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand,
protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly
waived by the Borrowers, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document
to the contrary notwithstanding and (iii) demand cash collateral pursuant to
Section 2.05(j); and in any event with respect to a Borrower described in
paragraph (h) or (i) above, the Commitments shall automatically terminate, the
principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon
and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other liabilities of the Borrowers accrued
hereunder and under any other Loan Document, shall automatically become due and
payable and the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have made a demand for
cash collateral to the full extent permitted under Section 2.05(j), without
presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are
hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers, anything contained herein or in any
other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.

For the avoidance of doubt, during the Certain Funds Period (other than as
referred to in Section 4.03) no Lender shall (a) exercise any right to terminate
the obligation to make any Loan, (b) exercise any right of rescission in respect
of this Agreement or in respect of a Loan or (c) exercise any right of
acceleration, termination, cancellation or set-off in respect of any Loan (other
than set-off in respect of fees, costs and expenses as agreed in the funds flow
document).

                  SECTION 7.02 Holdings' Right to Cure.

                  (a) Financial Performance Covenants. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in Section 7.01, in the event that Holdings fails to
comply with the requirements of any Financial Performance Covenant, until the
expiration of the 10th day subsequent to the date the certificate calculating
such Financial Performance Covenant is required to be delivered pursuant to
Section 5.04(c), Holdings shall have the right to issue Permitted Cure
Securities for cash or otherwise receive cash contributions to the capital of
Holdings, and, in each case, to contribute any such cash to the capital of the
Term Borrower (collectively, the "Cure Right"), and upon the receipt by Term
Borrower of such cash (the "Cure Amount") pursuant to the exercise by Holdings
of such Cure Right and request to the Administrative Agent to effect such
recalculation, such Financial Performance Covenant shall be recalculated giving
effect to the following pro forma adjustments:

                  (i) EBITDA shall be increased, solely for the purpose of
         measuring the Financial Performance Covenants and not for any other
         purpose under this Agreement, by an amount equal to the Cure Amount;
         and

                  (ii) if, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations,
         Holdings shall then be in compliance with the requirements of all
         Financial Performance Covenants, Holdings shall be deemed to have
         satisfied the requirements of the Financial Performance Covenants as of
         the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there
         had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the
         applicable breach or default

                                     -133-

          of the Financial Performance Covenants that had occurred shall be
          deemed cured for this purposes of the Agreement.

                  (b) Limitation on Exercise of Cure Right. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, (a) in each four-fiscal-quarter period there
shall be at least one fiscal quarter in which the Cure Right is not exercised,
(b) in each eight-fiscal-quarter period, there shall be a period of at least
four consecutive fiscal quarters during which the Cure Right is not exercised,
(c) the Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required for purposes of
complying with the Financial Performance Covenants, (d) in each 12 month period,
the maximum aggregate Cure Amount for all exercises shall not exceed
(eurodollar)200 million and (e) no Indebtedness repaid with the proceeds of
Permitted Cure Securities shall be deemed repaid for purposes of calculating the
ratios specified in Section 6.11 or 6.12 for the period during which such
Permitted Cure Securities were issued.

                  SECTION 7.03 Clean-Up Period. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in Section 7.01, during the Clean-up Period, if any matter,
circumstance or event exists or has occurred that would otherwise constitute a
breach of any representation and warranty, or a covenant, contained in any Loan
Document or result in a Default or Event of Default, such matter, circumstance
or event will not constitute a Default or Event of Default (other than any
matter, circumstance or event that (x) would have a Material Adverse Effect, (y)
has been procured by Holdings, the Term Borrower, Midco, LP GmbH or Bidco or (z)
has not been remedied prior to the expiration of the Clean-up Period), provided
that (i) such matter, circumstance or event does not constitute (x) a Major
Default or (y) an Event of Default incapable of being cured and (ii) reasonable
steps are being taken to cure such matter, circumstance or event.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                   The Agents

                  SECTION 8.01 Appointment. (a) In order to expedite the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, DBNY is hereby appointed to act as
Administrative Agent (with each reference in this Article to Administrative
Agent to include DBNY in its capacity as Collateral Agent). Each of the Lenders
and each assignee of any such Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the
Administrative Agent to take such actions on behalf of such Lender or assignee
and to exercise such powers as are specifically delegated to the Administrative
Agent by the terms and provisions hereof and of the other Loan Documents,
together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The
Administrative Agent is hereby expressly authorized by the Lenders and each
Issuing Bank, without hereby limiting any implied authority, (a) to receive on
behalf of the Lenders and such Issuing Bank all payments of principal of and
interest on the Loans, all payments in respect of L/C Disbursements and all
other amounts due to the Lenders and such Issuing Bank hereunder, and promptly
to distribute to each Lender or such Issuing Bank its proper share of each
payment so received; (b) to give notice on behalf of each of the Lenders of any
Event of Default specified in this Agreement of which the Administrative Agent
has actual knowledge acquired in connection with the performance of its duties
as Administrative Agent hereunder; and (c) to distribute to each Lender copies
of all notices, financial statements and other materials delivered by any
Borrower pursuant to this Agreement

                                     -134-

as received by the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Agents are hereby expressly authorized to execute any and all
documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of
the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement and the Security Documents. In the event
that any party other than the Lenders and the Agents shall participate in all or
any portion of the Collateral pursuant to the Security Documents, all rights and
remedies in respect of such Collateral shall be controlled by the Administrative
Agent. No Documentation Agent or Senior Managing Agent shall have any duties or
responsibilities under this Agreement.

                  (b) Neither the Agents nor any of their respective directors,
officers, employees or agents shall be liable as such for any action taken or
omitted by any of them except for its or his own gross negligence or willful
misconduct, or be responsible for any statement, warranty or representation
herein or the contents of any document delivered in connection herewith, or be
required to ascertain or to make any inquiry concerning the performance or
observance by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party of any of the terms,
conditions, covenants or agreements contained in any Loan Document. The Agents
shall not be responsible to the Lenders for the due execution, genuineness,
validity, enforceability or effectiveness of this Agreement or any other Loan
Documents or other instruments or agreements. The Agents shall in all cases be
fully protected in acting, or refraining from acting, in accordance with written
instructions signed by the Required Lenders and, except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, such instructions and any action or inaction
pursuant thereto shall be binding on all the Lenders. Each Agent shall, in the
absence of knowledge to the contrary, be entitled to rely on any instrument or
document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been
signed or sent by the proper person or persons. Neither the Agents nor any of
their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall have any
responsibility to any Borrower or any other Loan Party or any other party hereto
on account of the failure, delay in performance or breach by, or as a result of
information provided by, any Lender or Issuing Bank of any of its obligations
hereunder or to any Lender or Issuing Bank on account of the failure of or delay
in performance or breach by any other Lender or Issuing Bank or any Borrower or
any other Loan Party of any of their respective obligations hereunder or under
any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith. Each Agent may
execute any and all duties hereunder by or through agents or employees and shall
be entitled to rely upon the advice of legal counsel selected by it with respect
to all matters arising hereunder and shall not be liable for any action taken or
suffered in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel.

                  SECTION 8.02 Nature of Duties. The Lenders hereby acknowledge
that no Agent shall be under any duty to take any discretionary action permitted
to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement unless it shall
be requested in writing to do so by the Required Lenders. The Lenders further
acknowledge and agree that so long as an Agent shall make any determination to
be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document in good faith, such
Agent shall have no liability in respect of such determination to any person.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no
Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set
forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied
covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall
be read into the Loan Documents or otherwise exist against any Agent. Each
Lender recognizes and agrees that the Global Coordinators and the Joint Lead
Arrangers shall have no duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any
other Loan

                                     -135-

Document, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and shall have no
functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities for acting as
the Global Coordinator or as the Joint Lead Arrangers hereunder.

                  SECTION 8.03 Resignation by the Agents. Subject to the
appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent or Deposit Bank,
as the case may be, as provided below, each of the Administrative Agent and the
Deposit Bank may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Term
Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right
to appoint a successor with the consent of the Term Borrower (not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor shall have been so appointed
by the Required Lenders and approved by the Term Borrower and shall have
accepted such appointment within 45 days after the retiring Administrative Agent
gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on
behalf of the Lenders with the consent of the Term Borrower (not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor Administrative Agent
which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York and an office in
London, England (or a bank having an Affiliate with such an office) having a
combined capital and surplus having a Dollar Equivalent that is not less than
$500.0 million or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of any
appointment as Administrative Agent or Deposit Bank hereunder by a successor
bank, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights,
powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent or Deposit
Bank, as the case may be, and the retiring Administrative Agent or Deposit Bank,
as the case may be, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
hereunder. After the resignation by the Administrative Agent or by the Deposit
Bank hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.05 shall continue
in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken
by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent or Deposit Bank, as the case
may be.

                  SECTION 8.04 The Administrative Agent in Its Individual
Capacity. With respect to the Loans made by it hereunder, the Administrative
Agent in its individual capacity and not as Administrative Agent shall have the
same rights and powers as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though
it were not the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent and its
Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any
kind of business with Holdings, any Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries or other
Affiliates thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent.

                  SECTION 8.05 Indemnification. Each Lender agrees (a) to
reimburse each Agent, on demand, in the amount of its pro rata share (based on
its Commitments hereunder (or if such Commitments shall have expired or been
terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of its
applicable outstanding Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements, as
applicable)) of any reasonable expenses incurred for the benefit of the Lenders
by such Agent, including counsel fees and compensation of agents and employees
paid for services rendered on behalf of the Lenders, which shall not have been
reimbursed by the Term Borrower and (b) to indemnify and hold harmless each
Agent and any of its directors, officers, employees or agents, on demand, in the
amount of such pro rata share, from and against any and all liabilities, Taxes,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed
on, incurred by or asserted against it in its capacity as Agent or any of them
in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or any action taken or omitted by it or any of them

                                     -136-

under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, to the extent the same shall
not have been reimbursed by the Term Borrower, provided that no Lender shall be
liable to an Agent for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent or any
of its directors, officers, employees or agents.

                  SECTION 8.06 Lack of Reliance on Agents. Each Lender
acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent and
any 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 any Agent, 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
or any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished
hereunder or thereunder.

                  SECTION 8.07 Designation of Affiliates for Loans Denominated
in Euros. The Administrative Agent shall be permitted from time to time to
designate one of its Affiliates to perform the duties to be performed by the
Administrative Agent hereunder with respect to Loans, Borrowings and Letters of
Credit denominated in Euros. The provisions of this Article VIII shall apply to
any such Affiliate, mutatis mutandis.

hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including
any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that
(i) other than pursuant to a merger permitted by Section 6.05(b) or 6.05(i), no
Borrower may 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 a

                                     -138-

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 (including any
Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), 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 Agents, each
Issuing Bank 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 Commitment, the Loans and/or Credit-Linked Deposits at the time owing to
it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld) of:

                  (A) the Term Borrower; provided that no consent of the Term
         Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender or an
         Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default
         has occurred and is continuing or (except for any assignment by an
         Initial Lender to any transferee of more than 50% of its Commitments as
         of the date of the Fee Letter) during the period of primary syndication
         of the Facilities (as determined pursuant to the Fee Letter), any other
         assignee (provided that any liability of the -------- Borrowers to an
         assignee that is an Approved Fund or Affiliate of the assigning Lender
         under Section 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 or 2.21 shall be limited to the amount,
         if any, that would have been payable hereunder by such Borrower in the
         absence of such assignment); and

                  (B) the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the
         Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of (i) a
         Revolving Facility Commitment to an assignee that is a Lender with a
         Revolving Facility Commitment, immediately prior to giving effect to
         such assignment, or (ii) a Credit-Linked Commitment or a Term Loan to a
         Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or Approved Fund immediately prior to
         giving effect to such assignment.

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

                  (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an
         Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the
         entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Commitment, the
         amount of the commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such
         assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance
         with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative
         Agent) shall not be less than (x) $5.0 million, in the case of
         Revolving Facility Commitments and Revolving Facility Loans, (y) $5.0
         million in the case of Credit-Linked Commitments and Credit-Linked
         Deposits and (z) $1.0 million, in the case of Term Loans, unless each
         of the Term Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent;
         provided that no such consent of the Term Borrower shall be required if
         an Event of Default under paragraph (b), (c), (h) or (i) of Section
         7.01 has occurred and is continuing;

                                     -139-

                  (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;

                  (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver
         to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with
         a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that no such
         recordation fee shall be due in connection with an assignment to an
         existing Lender or Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment by the
         Administrative Agent; and

                  (D) no assignment of Revolving Facility Loans or Revolving
         Facility Commitments shall be permitted to be made to an assignee that
         cannot make Revolving Facility Loans in Dollars and Euros.

                  (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to
paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified
in each Assignment and Acceptance the assignee thereunder shall be a party
hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement,
and the assigning Lender hereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned
by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this
Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the
assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender
shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.05). 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 treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by
such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with
paragraph (c) of this Section.

                  (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an
agent of the Term Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each
Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of
the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal
amount of the Loans and L/C Disbursements 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 Term Borrower, the Agents, each Issuing Bank 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 Term Borrower, any Issuing Bank 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
Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, 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 acting for itself and, in any situation wherein the consent
of the Term Borrower is not required, the Term Borrower shall accept such
Assignment and Acceptance 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.

                                     -140-

                  (c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Term
Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender,
sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a "Loan
Participant") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and obligations under
this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment 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 Borrowers,
the Agents, each Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal
solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and
obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument (oral or written)
pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such
Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision
of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that (x) such agreement
or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the
Loan Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in
Section 9.04(a)(i) or clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) of the first
proviso to Section 9.08(b) that affects such Loan Participant and (y) no other
agreement (oral or written) with respect to such participation may exist between
such Lender and such Loan Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this
Section, each of the Borrowers agrees that each Loan Participant shall be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as
if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Loan
Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.06 as though it
were a Lender, provided such Loan Participant agrees to be subject to Section
2.18(c) as though it were a Lender.

                  (ii) A Loan Participant shall not be entitled to receive any
greater payment under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender
would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to
such Loan Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Loan
Participant is made with the Term Borrower's prior written consent. A Loan
Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be
entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 to the extent such Loan Participant
fails to comply with Section 2.17(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 any pledge or assignment to secure
obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 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 Expenses; Indemnity. (a) The Term Borrower agrees
to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Other Taxes) incurred by
the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation of this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents or the administration of this Agreement and by the
Initial Lenders in connection with the syndication of the Commitments (including
expenses incurred prior to the Closing Date in connection with due diligence and
the reasonable fees, disbursements and the charges for no more than one counsel
in each jurisdiction where Collateral is located) or in connection with any
amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof
(whether or not the Transactions

                                     -141-

hereby contemplated shall be consummated) or incurred by the Agents or any
Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of their rights in
connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, in connection with
the Loans made or the Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including the
reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of White & Case LLP, counsel for the
Administration Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers and Baker & McKenzie, special
German counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers, and, in
connection with any such enforcement or protection, the reasonable fees, charges
and disbursements of any other counsel (including the reasonable allocated costs
of internal counsel if a Lender elects to use internal counsel in lieu of
outside counsel) for the Agents, the Joint Lead Arrangers, any Issuing Bank or
all Lenders (but no more than one such counsel for all Lenders).

                  (b) The Term Borrower agrees to indemnify the Agents, the
Joint Lead Arrangers, each Issuing Bank, each Lender and each of their
respective directors, trustees, officers, employees and agents (each such person
being called an "Indemnitee") against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless
from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses,
including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or
asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as
a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the
performance by the parties hereto and thereto of their respective obligations
thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions
contemplated hereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or the use of any
Letter of Credit or (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding
relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not 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 result primarily from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee (treating, for this purpose only, any Agent, any
Joint Lead Arranger, any Issuing Bank, any Lender and any of their respective
Related Parties as a single Indemnitee). Subject to and without limiting the
generality of the foregoing sentence, the Term Borrower agrees to indemnify each
Indemnitee against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel
or consultant fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against
any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (A)
any Environmental Claim related in any way to Holdings, the Term Borrower or any
of their Subsidiaries, or (B) any actual or alleged presence, Release or
threatened Release of Hazardous Materials at, under, on or from any Mortgaged
Property or any property owned, leased or operated by any predecessor of
Holdings, the Term Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries, provided that such
indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses 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
any of its Related Parties. The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain
operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term
of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the
repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any
term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any
investigation made by or on behalf of any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender.
All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable on written demand
therefor accompanied by reasonable documentation with respect to any
reimbursement, indemnification or other amount requested.

                                     -142-

                  (c) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Term Borrower shall be entitled to assume the defense of any
action for which indemnification is sought hereunder with counsel of its choice
at its expense (in which case the Term Borrower shall not thereafter be
responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by an
Indemnitee except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel
shall be reasonably satisfactory to each such Indemnitee. Notwithstanding the
Term Borrower's election to assume the defense of such action, each Indemnitee
shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the
defense of such action, and the Term Borrower shall bear the reasonable fees,
costs and expenses of such separate counsel, if (i) the use of counsel chosen by
the Term Borrower to represent such Indemnitee would present such counsel with a
conflict of interest; (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of,
any such action include both the Term Borrower and such Indemnitee and such
Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses
available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the
Term Borrower (in which case the Term Borrower shall not have the right to
assume the defense or such action on behalf of such Indemnitee); (iii) the Term
Borrower shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to such
Indemnitee to represent it within a reasonable time after notice of the
institution of such action; or (iv) the Term Borrower shall authorize in writing
such Indemnitee to employ separate counsel at the Term Borrower's expense. The
Term Borrower will not be liable under this Agreement for any amount paid by an
Indemnitee to settle any claims or actions if the settlement is entered into
without the Term Borrower's consent, which consent may not be withheld or
delayed unless such settlement is unreasonable in light of such claims or
actions against, and defenses available to, such Indemnitee.

                  (d) Except as expressly provided in Section 9.05(a) with
respect to Other Taxes, which shall not be duplicative with any amounts paid
pursuant to Section 2.17, this Section 9.05 shall not apply to Taxes.

                  SECTION 9.06 Right of Set-off. If an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each Issuing Bank 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 indebtedness at any
time owing by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to or for the credit or the
account of Holdings, the Term Borrower or any Subsidiary against any of and all
the obligations of Holdings or the Term Borrower now or hereafter existing under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document held by such Lender or such Issuing
Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall have
made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although
the obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender and each Issuing
Bank under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including other rights of set-off) that such Lender or such Issuing Bank may
have.

                  SECTION 9.07 Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN LETTERS OF CREDIT AND AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK.

                  SECTION 9.08 Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of
the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right
or power

                                     -143-

hereunder or under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof,
nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any
abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such 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, each
Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents 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 any other Loan
Document or consent to any departure by Holdings, any Borrower or any other Loan
Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be
permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No
notice or demand on Holdings, any Borrower or any other Loan Party in any case
shall entitle such person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or
other circumstances.

                  (b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any
provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (x) in the
case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing
entered into by the Term Borrower and the Required Lenders and (y) in the case
of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements as provided
for therein; provided, however, that no such agreement shall

                  (i) decrease or forgive the principal amount of, or extend the
         final maturity of, or decrease the rate of interest on, any Loan or any
         L/C Disbursement, without the prior written consent of each Lender
         directly affected thereby; provided that any amendment to the financial
         covenant definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction
         in the rate of interest for purposes of this clause (i),

                  (ii) increase or extend the Commitment of any Lender or
         decrease the Commitment Fees or L/C Participation Fees or other fees of
         any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender (it being
         understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent,
         covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in
         the aggregate Commitments shall not constitute an increase of the
         Commitments of any Lender),

                  (iii) extend or waive any Installment Date or extend any date
         on which payment of interest on any Loan or any L/C Disbursement is
         due, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely
         affected thereby,

                  (iv) amend or modify the provisions of Section 2.18(c) in a
         manner that would by its terms alter the pro rata sharing of payments
         required thereby, without the prior written consent of each Lender
         adversely affected thereby,

                  (v) amend or modify the provisions of this Section or the
         definition of the terms "Required Lenders," "Majority 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 prior written
         consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby (it being understood
         that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions
         of credit pursuant to this

                                     -144-

          Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders
          on substantially the same basis as the Loans and Commitments are
          included on the Closing Date),

                  (vi) release all or substantially all the Collateral or
         release Holdings, the Term Borrower, CAC or all or substantially all of
         the other Subsidiary Loan Parties from its Guarantee under the Holdings
         Guarantee and Pledge Agreement or the U.S. Collateral Agreement, as
         applicable, unless, in the case of a Subsidiary Loan Party, all or
         substantially all the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary Loan Party is
         sold or otherwise disposed of in a transaction permitted by this
         Agreement, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely
         affected thereby, or

                  (vii) effect any waiver, amendment or modification that by its
         terms directly adversely affects the rights in respect of payments or
         collateral of Lenders participating in any Facility differently from
         those of Lenders participating in other Facilities, without the consent
         of the Majority Lenders participating in the adversely affected
         Facility (it being agreed that the Required Lenders may waive, in whole
         or in part, any prepayment or Commitment reduction required by Section
         2.11 so long as the application of any prepayment or Commitment
         reduction still required to be made is not changed);

provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise
affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Deposit Bank or an
Issuing Bank hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent, the Deposit Bank or such Issuing Bank acting as such at the effective
date of such agreement, as applicable. Each Lender shall be bound by any waiver,
amendment or modification authorized by this Section 9.08 and any consent by any
Lender pursuant to this Section 9.08 shall bind any assignee of such Lender.

                  (c) Without the consent of the Global Coordinator, any Joint
Lead Arranger, the Deposit Bank or any Lender, the Loan Parties and the
Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent may (in their respective sole
discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Loan Document) enter into
any amendment, modification or waiver of any Loan Document, or enter into any
new agreement or instrument, to effect the granting, perfection, protection,
expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or
additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties,
or as required by local law to give effect to, or protect any security interest
for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any property or so that the security
interests therein comply with applicable law.

                  (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be
amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required
Lenders, the Administrative Agent, Holdings and the Borrowers (a) to add one or
more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions
of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and
fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans and the Revolving Facility Loans
and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include
appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of
the Required Lenders.

                  (e) In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement
may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, Holdings,
the Borrowers and the

                                     -145-

Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Term Loans (as defined below) to
permit the refinancing of all outstanding Term Loans ("Refinanced Term Loans")
with a replacement "B" term loan tranche hereunder which shall be Loans
hereunder ("Replacement Term Loans"); provided that (a) the aggregate principal
amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal
amount of such Refinanced Term Loans, (b) the Applicable Margin for such
Replacement Term Loans shall not be higher than the Applicable Margin for such
Refinanced Term Loans, (c) the weighted average life to maturity of such
Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the weighted average life to
maturity of such Refinanced Term Loans at the time of such refinancing and (d)
all other terms applicable to such Replacement Term Loans shall be substantially
identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Term
Loans than, those applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans, except to the extent
necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period
after the latest final maturity of the Term Loans in effect immediately prior to
such refinancing.

                  SECTION 9.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the applicable interest rate,
together with all fees and charges that are treated as interest under applicable
law (collectively, the "Charges"), as provided for herein or in any other
document executed in connection herewith, or otherwise contracted for, charged,
received, taken or reserved by any Lender or any Issuing Bank, shall exceed the
maximum lawful rate (the "Maximum Rate") that may be contracted for, charged,
taken, received or reserved by such Lender in accordance with applicable law,
the rate of interest payable hereunder, together with all Charges payable to
such Lender or such Issuing Bank, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate, provided
that such excess amount shall be paid to such Lender or such Issuing Bank on
subsequent payment dates to the extent not exceeding the legal limitation.

                  SECTION 9.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Loan
Documents and the agreements regarding certain Fees referred to herein
constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject
matter hereof. Any previous agreement among or representations from the parties
or their Affiliates with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Fee Letter shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and remain
in full force and effect. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan
Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than
the parties hereto and thereto any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities
under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

                  SECTION 9.11 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 RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING
OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR
ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH
OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING
WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN
INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN

                                     -146-

DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND
CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11.

                  SECTION 9.12 Severability. In the event any one or more of the
provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be
held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein
shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor
in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as
possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

                  SECTION 9.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in
two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of
which, when taken together, shall constitute but one contract, and shall become
effective as provided in Section 9.03. Delivery of an executed counterpart to
this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a
manually signed original.

                  SECTION 9.14 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 are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken
into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

                  SECTION 9.15 Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a)
Each of Holdings and each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any
New York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in
New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, 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 Lender or any Issuing Bank may otherwise have to bring
any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents
against Holdings, any Borrower or any Loan Party or their properties in the
courts of any jurisdiction.

                  (b) Each of Holdings and each Borrower 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 or
the other Loan Documents in any New York State or federal court. 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.

                  (c) Each Loan Party party hereto irrevocably and
unconditionally appoints BCP Crystal US Holdings Corp. with an office on the
date hereof at 345 Park Avenue, 31st Floor,

                                     -147-

New York, NY 10154 and its successors hereunder (the "Process Agent"), as its
agent to receive on behalf of each such Loan Party and its property all writs,
claims, process, and summonses in any action or proceeding brought against it in
the State of New York. Such service may be made by mailing or delivering a copy
of such process to the respective Loan Party in care of the Process Agent at the
address specified above for the Process Agent, and such Loan Party irrevocably
authorizes and directs the Process Agent to accept such service on its behalf.
Failure by the Process Agent to give notice to the respective Loan Party, or
failure of the respective Loan Party, to receive notice of such service of
process shall not impair or affect the validity of such service on the Process
Agent or any such Loan Party, or of any judgment based thereon. Each Loan Party
hereto covenants and agrees that it shall take any and all reasonable action,
including the execution and filing of any and all documents, that may be
necessary to continue the designation of the Process Agent above in full force
and effect, and to cause the Process Agent to act as such. Each Loan Party
hereto further covenants and agrees to maintain at all times an agent with
offices in New York City to act as its Process Agent. Nothing herein shall in
any way be deemed to limit the ability to serve any such writs, process or
summonses in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

                  SECTION 9.16 Confidentiality. (a) Each of the Lenders, the
Deposit Bank, each Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent agrees that it
shall maintain in confidence any information relating to Holdings, the Term
Borrower and the other Loan Parties furnished to it by or on behalf of Holdings,
the Term Borrower or the other Loan Parties (other than information that (a) has
become generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure
by such party, (b) has been independently developed by such Lender, such Issuing
Bank, the Deposit Bank or the Administrative Agent without violating this
Section 9.16 or (c) was available to such Lender, such Issuing Bank, the Deposit
Bank or the Administrative Agent from a third party having, to such person's
knowledge, no obligations of confidentiality to Holdings, the Term Borrower or
any other Loan Party) and shall not reveal the same other than to its directors,
trustees, officers, employees and advisors with a need to know or to any person
that approves or administers the Loans on behalf of such Lender (so long as each
such person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in
accordance with this Section 9.16), except: (A) to the extent necessary to
comply with law or any legal process or the requirements of any Governmental
Authority, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or of any
securities exchange on which securities of the disclosing party or any Affiliate
of the disclosing party are listed or traded, (B) as part of normal reporting or
review procedures to Governmental Authorities or the National Association of
Insurance Commissioners, (C) to its parent companies, Affiliates or auditors (so
long as each such person shall have been instructed to keep the same
confidential in accordance with this Section 9.16), (D) in order to enforce its
rights under any Loan Document in a legal proceeding, (E) to any prospective
assignee of, or prospective Participant in, any of its rights under this
Agreement (so long as such person shall have been instructed to keep the same
confidential in accordance with this Section 9.16) and (F) to any direct or
indirect contractual counterparty in Swap Agreements or such contractual
counterparty's professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or
professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the
provisions of this Section).

                  (b) Neither the Administrative Agent, the Deposit Bank, any
Lender, any of their respective affiliates nor any Loan Party provide
accounting, tax or legal advice. Notwithstanding anything provided herein, and
any express or implied claims of exclusivity or

                                     -148-

proprietary rights, each party hereto hereby agrees and acknowledges that each
such party (and each of their employees, representatives or other agents) are
authorized to disclose to any and all Persons, beginning immediately upon
commencement of their discussions and without limitation of any kind, the tax
treatment and tax structure of the Transaction, and all materials of any kind
(including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided by any such party
to any other party relating to such tax treatment and tax structure, except to
the extent that such disclosure is subject to restrictions reasonably necessary
to comply with securities laws. In this regard, each party hereto acknowledges
and agrees that disclosure of the tax treatment and tax structure of the
Transaction has not been and is not limited in any manner by an express or
implied understanding or agreement (whether oral or written, and whether or not
such understanding or agreement is legally binding), except to the extent that
such disclosure is subject to restrictions reasonably necessary to comply with
securities laws. For purposes of this authorization, "tax treatment" means the
purported or claimed U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Transaction, and
"tax structure" means any fact that may be relevant to understanding the
purported or claimed U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Transaction. This
paragraph is intended to reflect the understanding of the parties hereto that
the Transaction has not been offered under "conditions of confidentiality" as
that phrase is used in Treasury Regulation ss.ss. 1.6011-4(b)(3)(i) and 30
1.6111-2(c)(1), and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.

                  SECTION 9.17 Conversion of Currencies. (a) If, for the purpose
of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing
hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto (including
any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower) agrees, to the fullest extent that it may
effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in
accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first
currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day
immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

                  (b) The obligations of each Borrower in respect of any sum due
to any party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the
"Applicable Creditor") shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the
"Judgment Currency") other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be
due hereunder (the "Agreement Currency"), be discharged only to the extent that,
on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum
adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in
accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction 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
Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a
separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the
Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of the Borrowers
contained in this Section 9.17 shall survive the termination of this Agreement
and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

                  SECTION 9.18 Release of Liens and Guarantees. In the event
that any Loan Party conveys, sells, leases, assigns, transfers or otherwise
disposes of all or any portion of any of its assets (including the Equity
Interests of any Subsidiary Loan Party (other than a Borrower)) to a person that
is not (and is not required to become) a Loan Party in a transaction not
prohibited by Section 6.05, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent
shall promptly (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and
the Collateral Agent to) take

                                     -149-

such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by
Holdings or the Term Borrower and at the Term Borrower's expense to release any
Liens created by any Loan Document in respect of such assets or Equity
Interests, and, in the case of a disposition of the Equity Interests of any
Subsidiary Loan Party that is not a Borrower in a transaction permitted by
Section 6.05 and as a result of which such Subsidiary Loan Party would cease to
be a Subsidiary, terminate such Subsidiary Loan Party's obligations under its
Guarantee. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent agree to take such
actions as are reasonably requested by the Term Borrower and at the Term
Borrower's expense to terminate the Liens and security interests created by the
Parent Guarantee and Pledge Agreement and the CAC Loan Collateral Agreement, in
each case to the extent terminating by their terms at such time, on the
Restructuring Date. In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral
Agent agree to take such actions as are reasonably requested by Holdings or the
Term Borrower and at the Term Borrower's expense to terminate the Liens and
security interests created by the Loan Documents when all the Obligations are
paid in full and all Letters of Credit and Commitments are terminated. Any
representation, warranty or covenant contained in any Loan Document relating to
any such Equity Interests, asset or subsidiary of Holdings shall no longer be
deemed to be made once such Equity Interests or asset is so conveyed, sold,
leased, assigned, transferred or disposed of.

                  SECTION 9.19 Parallel Debt (a) Each of the parties hereto
agrees, and each Foreign Revolving Borrower acknowledges by way of an abstract
acknowledgement of debt, that each and every obligation of each Foreign
Revolving Borrower (and any of its successors pursuant to this Agreement) under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall also be owing in full to the
Collateral Agent (and each of its successors under this Agreement), and that
accordingly the Collateral Agent will have its own independent right to demand
performance by each such Foreign Revolving Borrower of those obligations. The
Collateral Agent agrees with each Foreign Revolving Borrower that in case of any
discharge of any such obligation owing to the Collateral Agent or any Lender, it
will, to the same extent, not make a claim against the relevant Foreign
Revolving Borrower under the aforesaid acknowledgement at any time, provided
that any such claims can be made against any such Foreign Revolving Borrower if
such discharge is made by virtue of any set off, counterclaim or similar defense
invoked by any such Foreign Revolving Borrower vis-a-vis the Collateral Agent.

                  (b) Without limiting or affecting the Collateral Agent's
rights against any Foreign Revolving Borrower (whether under this paragraph or
under any other provision of the Loan Documents), the Collateral Agent agrees
with each other Lender that, except as set out in the next sentence, it will not
exercise its rights under the Acknowledgement except with the consent of the
relevant Lender. However, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the previous
sentence shall in any way limit the Collateral Agent's right to act in the
protection or preservation of rights under or to enforce any Loan Document as
contemplated by this Agreement and/or the relevant Loan Document (or to do any
act reasonably incidental to the foregoing).

                         Collection Allocation Mechanism

                  SECTION 10.01 Implementation of CAM. (a) On the CAM Exchange
Date, (i) the Commitments shall automatically and without further act be
terminated as provided in Section 7.01, (ii) each Revolving Facility Lender
shall immediately be deemed to have acquired (and shall promptly make payment
therefor to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.04(c))
participations in the Swingline Euro Loans (other than any Swingline Euro Loan
in respect of which Revolving Facility Lenders have funded their purchase of
participations pursuant to Section 2.04(c)) in an amount equal to such Lender's
ratable share (based on the respective Revolving Facility Commitments of the
Revolving Facility Lenders immediately prior to the CAM Exchange Date) of each
Swingline Euro Loan outstanding on such date, (iii) each Revolving Facility
Lender shall immediately be deemed to have acquired (and shall promptly make
payment therefor to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.04(c))
participations in the Swingline Dollar Loans (other than any Swingline Dollar
Loan in respect of which the Revolving Facility Lenders have funded their
purchase of participations pursuant to Section 2.04(c)) in an amount equal to
such Lender's Revolving Facility Percentage of each Swingline Dollar Loan
outstanding on such date, (iv) simultaneously with the automatic conversions
pursuant to clause (v) below, the Lenders shall automatically and without
further act (and without regard to the provisions of Section 9.04) be deemed to
have exchanged interests in the Loans (other than the Swingline Loans),
Swingline Loans and undrawn Letters of Credit, such that in lieu of the interest
of each Lender in each Loan and Letter of Credit in which it shall participate
as of such date (including such Lender's interest in the Obligations of each
Loan Party in respect of each such Loan and undrawn Letter of Credit), such
Lender shall hold an interest in every one of the Loans (other than the
Swingline Loans) and a participation in every one of the Swingline Loans and
undrawn Letters of Credit (including the Obligations of each Loan Party in
respect of each such Loan and each Reserve Account established pursuant to
Section 10.02 below), whether or not such Lender shall previously have
participated therein, equal to such Lender's CAM Percentage thereof and (v)
simultaneously with the deemed exchange of interests pursuant to clause (iv)
above, the interests in the Loans to be received in such deemed exchange shall,
automatically and with no further action required, be converted into the Dollar
Equivalent, determined using the Exchange Rate calculated as of such date, of
such amount and on and after such date all amounts accruing and owed to the
Lenders in respect of such Obligations shall accrue and be payable in Dollars at
the rate otherwise applicable hereunder. Each Lender and each Loan Party hereby
consents and agrees to the CAM Exchange, and each Lender agrees that the CAM
Exchange shall be binding upon its successors and assigns and any person that
acquires a participation in its interests in any Loan. Each Loan Party agrees
from time to time to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent all such
promissory notes and other instruments and documents as the Administrative Agent
shall reasonably request to evidence and confirm the respective interests of the
Lenders after giving effect to the CAM Exchange, and each Lender agrees to
surrender any promissory notes originally received by it in connection with its
Loans hereunder to the Administrative Agent against delivery of any promissory
notes evidencing its interests in the Loans so executed and delivered; provided,
however, that the failure of any Loan Party to execute or deliver or of any
Lender to accept any such promissory note, instrument or document shall not
affect the validity or effectiveness of the CAM Exchange.

                                     -151-

                  (b) As a result of the CAM Exchange, upon and after the CAM
Exchange Date, each payment received by the Administrative Agent or the
Collateral Agent pursuant to any Loan Document in respect of the Obligations,
and each distribution made by the Collateral Agent pursuant to any Security
Document in respect of the Obligations, shall be distributed to the Lenders pro
rata in accordance with their respective CAM Percentages. Any direct payment
received by a Lender upon or after the CAM Exchange Date, including by way of
set-off, in respect of an Obligation shall be paid over to the Administrative
Agent for distribution to the Lenders in accordance herewith.

                  SECTION 10.02 Letters of Credit. (a) In the event that on the
CAM Exchange Date any RF Letter of Credit shall be outstanding and undrawn in
whole or in part, each Revolving Facility Lender shall promptly pay over to the
Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, an amount in Dollars equal
to such Lender's Revolving Facility Percentage of such undrawn face amount,
together with interest thereon from the CAM Exchange Date to the date on which
such amount shall be paid to the Administrative Agent at the rate that would be
applicable at the time to an ABR Revolving Loan in a principal amount equal to
such undrawn face amount or unreimbursed drawing, as applicable. The
Administrative Agent shall establish a separate account (each, an "RF Reserve
Account") or accounts for each Lender for the amounts received with respect to
each such RF Letter of Credit pursuant to the preceding sentence. On the CAM
Exchange Date, the Administrative Agent shall request the Deposit Bank to
withdraw all amounts remaining in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account (after
giving effect to withdrawals therefrom made pursuant to Section 2.08(d)) less
the aggregate amount (if any) equal to all unreimbursed L/C Disbursements made
in respect of CL Letters of Credit not yet founded by application of
Credit-Linked Deposits as contemplated by Section 2.05(e) and deposit same in a
new separate account maintained with the Administrative Agent (each a "CL
Reserve Account" and together with the RF Reserve Account, the "Reserve
Accounts") or accounts for such Lender. The Administrative Agent shall deposit
in each Lender's RF Reserve Account or CL Reserve Account, as the case may be,
such Lender's CAM Percentage of the amounts received from the Revolving Facility
Lenders or the Credit-Linked Deposit Account, as the case may be, as provided
above. The Administrative Agent shall have sole dominion and control over each
Reserve Account, and the amounts deposited in each Reserve Account shall be held
in such Reserve Account until withdrawn as provided in paragraph (b), (c), (d)
or (e) below. The Administrative Agent shall maintain records enabling it to
determine the amounts paid over to it and deposited in the Reserve Accounts in
respect of each Letter of Credit and the amounts on deposit in respect of each
Letter of Credit attributable to each Lender's CAM Percentage. The amounts held
in each Lender's RF Reserve Account or CL Reserve Account, as the case may be,
shall be held as a reserve against the Revolving L/C Exposures or CL L/C
Exposures, as the case may be, shall be the property of such Lender, shall not
constitute Loans to or give rise to any claim of or against any Loan Party and
shall not give rise to any obligation on the part of any Borrower to pay
interest to such Lender, it being agreed that the reimbursement obligations in
respect of Letters of Credit shall arise only at such times as drawings are made
thereunder, as provided in Section 2.05.

                  (b) In the event that after the CAM Exchange Date any drawing
shall be made in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall,
at the request of the applicable Issuing Bank withdraw from the RF Reserve
Account or CL Reserve Account, as applicable, of each Lender any amounts, up to
the amount of such Lender's CAM Percentage of such drawing

                                     -152-

or payment, deposited in respect of such Letter of Credit and remaining on
deposit and deliver such amounts, to such Issuing Bank in satisfaction of the
reimbursement obligations of the respective Lenders under Section 2.05(d) (but
not of the Applicant Party under Section 2.05(e)). In the event that any
Revolving Facility Lender shall default on its obligation to pay over any amount
to the Administrative Agent as provided in this Section 10.02, the applicable
Issuing Bank shall have a claim against such Revolving Facility Lender to the
same extent as if such Lender had defaulted on its obligations under Section
2.05(d), but shall have no claim against any other Lender in respect of such
defaulted amount, notwithstanding the exchange of interests in the applicable
Borrower's reimbursement obligations pursuant to Section 10.01. Each other
Lender shall have a claim against such defaulting Revolving Facility Lender for
any damages sustained by it as a result of such default, including, in the event
that such RF Letter of Credit shall expire undrawn, its CAM Percentage of the
defaulted amount.

                  (c) In the event that after the CAM Exchange Date any Letter
of Credit shall expire undrawn, the Administrative Agent shall withdraw from the
RF Reserve Account or CL Reserve Account, as applicable, of each Lender the
amount remaining on deposit therein in respect of such Letter of Credit and
distribute such amount to such Lender.

                  (d) With the prior written approval of the Administrative
Agent and the respective Issuing Bank (not to be unreasonably withheld), any
Lender may withdraw the amount held in its RF Reserve Account or CL Reserve
Account in respect of the undrawn amount of any Letter of Credit. Any Lender
making such a withdrawal shall be unconditionally obligated, in the event there
shall subsequently be a drawing under such Letter of Credit to pay over to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank on demand, its CAM
Percentage of such drawing or payment.

                  (e) Pending the withdrawal by any Lender of any amounts from
either of its Reserve Accounts as contemplated by the above paragraphs, the
Administrative Agent will, at the direction of such Lender and subject to such
rules as the Administrative Agent may prescribe for the avoidance of
inconvenience, invest such amounts in Permitted Investments. Each Lender that
has not withdrawn all of the amounts in its Reserve Accounts as provided in
paragraph (d) above shall have the right, at intervals reasonably specified by
the Administrative Agent, to withdraw the earnings on investments so made by the
Administrative Agent with amounts remaining in its Reserve Accounts and to
retain such earnings for its own account.
